Styling your hair can be one of the best parts of any beauty routine. There’s nothing better than stepping out of the house knowing you look fabulous and that you achieved the look yourself without a trip to the salon.
Hair styling products are an essential part of any hairstyle and can make the difference between your hairdo lasting all day and night, or flopping before you get out the door!
The first thing you need to know is the difference between Styling Products and Finishing Products. Styling products are generally applied to wet hair and finishing products are applied after you have dried your hair.
Hair Styling Products
The most important hair products to use are shampoo, conditioner, a heat protector and a finishing product.
Products that contain glycerine will temporarily smooth your locks and add shine to your hair.
Use serums, glosses and waxes in blonde hair whenever styling products are necessary as they won’t dull the color like matte-effect products.
For shine without the thickness of a serum, use shine gloss. It’s sprayed into your hair just like hairspray and will give you glossy locks without the weight.
Hair Finishing Products
If your fine hair needing lots of volume you could use a volume building spray to help you achieve root lift and volume. You would then dry your hair and blast the roots with some heat from your blow dryer.
To keep an updo or curls in place, hold a can of hairspray at arm’s length and then circle your hair three times for 10 seconds at a time.
A few things to remember when using styling or finishing products on your hair:
1. Never apply gel and then blow-dry your hair or you’ll end up with a flaky residue.
2. Always match your styling products to your hairstyle. If you’re going for super straight locks then use straightening cream. After a mass of curls or textured waves? Try frizz reducing products and curl boosters.
3. To keep static strands at bay, spritz your hair brush with some hairspray and then brush through your locks.
4. If you have fine or oily hair make sure to add any silicone products just to your ends to avoid an oil overload
5. When applying hair styling products you should always start with the smallest amount possible and then add more if needed.
