Whether you want a casual everyday look or are gearing up for a special occasion, the right hair styling products can make the difference between a pretty look and a fabulous look. Here are six steps to help you achieve perfectly styled hair using hair styling products.
Step 1: Start with clean, washed hair
The foundation of every great look is clean, fresh hair. Start by washing and conditioning your hair with products that are suitable for your hair type or the end result you want to achieve. Well-cleaned hair provides a clean slate to work with. Important; then choose a pre-styler so that the styling products adhere better to a beautiful, healthy base and you can enjoy your hair longer during the day! The My Hero Wonder Spray is ideal for this.
Step 2: Choose the right hair styling products
Choosing the right hair styling products is therefore essential to achieve the desired result. Look carefully at your hair type and the desired look. The most well-known hair styling products are:
- Hairspray : To fix your hair and maintain its shape.
- Gel : For a strong, long-lasting hold. Perhaps a little less natural…
- Paste or wax : For texture and definition.
- Styling cream : For a lighter hold and shine. But also to define your curls beautifully or to get extra volume in your hair
- Mousse : For volume and body.
- Heat Protection spray : To protect your hair against tools such as curling irons.
Step 3: Dry your hair thoroughly
Before applying styling products, make sure your hair is completely dry. Wet hair can reduce the effectiveness of styling products. Only with a Stylingcream or Mousse, it is best to do this in towel-dried hair.
Step 4: Apply the products
Depending on your choice of look, apply the chosen styling products evenly to your hair. Do not use too much product, start with a small amount and add more if necessary. It is advisable to distribute the product well from the roots to the tips. A better distribution gives the maximum effect. Take a little extra time to apply this well to your hair, ultimately the extra attention makes a big difference in the end result.
Step 5: Style your hair
Now comes the fun part! Style your hair as desired using your usual styling tools or think outside the box to create a different look using a blow dryer, flat iron, curling iron or just your fingers. Work in sections and take your time to shape your hair as you like. Styling takes some time, but with the right products it is easy and often much faster.
Step 6: Fix and shine
Once you are happy with your final look, set it with a hairspray to maintain hold. If you want to add extra texture, use a dry shampoo. If desired, use a product for extra shine, such as a lightweight oil.
It may take some time to master the perfect styling technique, but with time and patience, you will get better and better at achieving your fabulous look. Keep practicing.
