How to combine styling products to get the look you want
Avoid the confusion and get rid of the clutter. Haven't we all bought styling products thinking they will help us create magic with our hair and ended up greatly disappointed? Here are a few "recipes" that will help you achieve the look you are after.
You've got: Thin, fine hair
You want: Thick, full hair
Styling recipe: While your hair is still damp, mix volumizing mousse in your hands, flip your head upside down, and rub throughout your hair beginning with the roots, coming out to the ends. To evenly distribute the mousse, comb your hair with a wide-tooth comb.
You've got: Straight to wavy hair
You want: Curly Hair
Styling recipe: While slightly damp, set your hair into small sections using small, curlers. The smaller the sections, the more volume. Once your hair is dry, use hairspray on each curl and at the roots for added lift.
You've got: Dry, damaged hair
You want: Rich, healthy hair
Styling recipe: After shampooing hair with a moisturizing shampoo, use a deep conditioner for added moisture. Keep on hair for three to five minutes before rinsing. Apply a spray sheen evenly on dry hair, staying away from the roots (in order to avoid buildup on
the scalp). Severely dry hair responds better to a gel sheen.
You've got: Curly hair
You want: Straight hair
Styling recipe: When hair is damp, mix a straightening balm in your hands and apply up the hair shaft until almost to the roots (again, steer clear of those roots!) Comb through to evenly distribute, then blow dry hair using a large, round brush. Flat iron for a super straight finish.
You've got: Kinky, curly hair
You want: Defined curls
Styling recipe: For added definition and hold, mix a leave-in conditioner or a pomade with a styling gel in the palm of your hand. Finger through damp hair section by section, avoiding the roots.
No matter what style you create, steer clear from using hair dryers that are too hot because these will fry hair and damage hair's natural texture. Check the number of watts before using a hair dryer and make sure it's not above 1,600 watts.
