Decoding Hair Products


Hair products that can lift, smooth, and move your hair to perfection are just as important as heat styling tools that can straighten and curl. Unfortunately, it’s hard to find the ideal styling products as there is such an overwhelming selection. 
1. Serum and Oil
Serums and oils are used to add shine and moisture to wet or dry hair, before or after blow-drying. They can look greasy on thin or fine hair, so use sparingly on those hair types. Start with a small blob in your palms and works from the ends up. Reapply small amounts if necessary.

2. Spray
Hair spray is a universal finishing product. It can provide a light hold or a completely rigid effect, depending on the product and the look you're after. To avoid a crunchy effect, don't use this on wet hair. Mist quick bursts of hair spray at an even distance from the head to finish any hairstyle.

3. Mousse
Mousse is great for finer hair because it gives volume without much evidence it's there. Comb through wet hair evenly and blow-dry for volume. The amount you apply, however, is a balancing act. You want to apply enough to give hold, but too much product will leave your hair crispy. Start with a dollop the size of a Ping-Pong ball and work your way up.

4. Gel
Although it’s formulated in varying degrees of hold, gel is still one of the strongest stylers out there. Gels work well on short textured styles that need to maintain a single look without much movement. Start with a 10p size in your palm and work your way up from there, distributing it evenly throughout the front and back of the hair.
