Usage:
Stylistic tool - hairspray is applied only to dry hair. Hairspray should be sprayed from over half a meter. At the end of the day, hairspray should be washed off with warm water and regularly deep cleansing shampoo.
Before buying hairspray, it is necessary to pay attention to the packaging, if hairspray is of good quality, its label must indicate: expiry date (on average, such a product can be used for 3 years), composition, fixation level, information about manufacturer and importer, safety rules and storage instructions.
Tips:
1. Do not use extra hairspray again. You left the hairdresser with a hairstyle and in a few hours you think to update it again by spraying hairspray? No way! This will adversely affect the vitality and firmness of the hair.
2. Do not mix hairspray from different manufacturers or hairspray and foam. Each firm's tools have a unique composition and should not be confused with others, as the consequences are unpredictable.
3. Hold the hairspray bottle at least 30 cm away and spray the hairspray until the hair is easily combed later. Holding the hairspray bottle too close guarantees hair sticking and hair straightening, and excessive use of the chemical can have a negative effect on the condition of the hair.
4. Do not go to sleep without washing the hairspray. Before going to bed, it is necessary to wash or at least comb your hair to remove the protective film created by the hairspray.
5. Choose a hairspray with a neutral scent. The fragrances and aromas in the hairspray will mix with your perfume or lotion. This will empty the feeling of freshness and eventually start to annoy you. The ideal choice is a neutral hairspray scent that will fade quickly.
