Professional hairspray
Healthy, well-groomed hair and a good hairstyle are an integral part of the image of a beautiful and successful woman. To achieve good results, women use dozens of different hair products. One of the most necessary and popular means in the arsenal of beauties is hairspray.
The very first lacquer in the world was invented by the world-famous German company Schwarzkopf in 1955, following the lead of Elvis Presley fans who wanted to have the same hairstyle as his. The first release had only one ability - fixing curls. But as you know, progress does not stand still and today many companies offer a wide range of this type of product.
In this article, we will look at hair sprays from manufacturers of professional products, find out which brand the masters prefer to use and get acquainted with the rating of varnishes.
Kinds
Varnishes exist in two types - dry and liquid, which, in turn, are divided into the following types - light, medium, strong and extra strong fixation. Some have a protective or healing function.
Hair sprays with various effects are popular - healing, coloring, with sparkles, antistatic effect, specially perfumed.
- Light hold varnish has a gentle effect and does not harm the hair. It is easy to use and wash off, but it is pointless to use during bad weather.
- Medium to strong hold lacquers ideal for everyday styling, they are able to fix the shape of hairstyles for a long time. Withstand any weather conditions (except for a storm and a hurricane, of course), and are most popular among professional stylists.
- Extra strong varnishes used to create evening hairstyles and during photo shoots, they keep their shape for many hours even in the most extreme weather conditions, but they are very difficult, almost impossible to wash off without a special professional shampoo.
Selection Tips
Choosing the right tool is a very difficult task. Finding himself in front of racks with such a diverse amount of products, even the most confident user will be confused. Before going for varnish, it is worth deciding what result we want to get as a result of use. Also, when buying a product, be sure to focus on your hair type.. Those with thick or hard will need a bottle with a medium to strong hold. Ladies with thin hair can only use products with a weak fixation, and rarely, if necessary, a strong one.
Healing varnishes are not intended for long-term fixation of hairstyles, they carry a slightly different load - containing vitamins, moisturizing and nourishing components, they restore brittle and damaged strands, at the same time maintaining styling.
Tools with super strong fixation should be used extremely rarely, for example, preparing for a particularly important event. And without fail, after use, apply a nourishing or regenerating mask to the hair.
It should be noted that a good and high-quality product should contain a minimum amount of alcohol, and should not have a pungent odor. Even though professional hairspray is more expensive than regular hairspray, it's still better to splurge, as it contains fewer harmful substances and has more potential for great results.
How to choose and apply hairspray, see the following video.
Briefly about the rules of use
In order to get volume, you need to tilt your head down and spray a little at the roots. Then raise your head, shake your hair and fix the shape by spraying from a distance of 25-30 centimeters. The product can only be used on clean and dry hair.
And of course, you should never, under any circumstances, use an expired product.
Brands and reviews
It is more logical to start a review of different brands with the inventor of the product and the leader in the rating - Schwarzkopf Professional.
Schwarzkopf "Professionnelle" - a bestseller and the best professional hairspray according to numerous user surveys. It contains glycerin, antioxidants, vitamins E, B5 and B3, UV filter. "Professionnelle" Provides a long-lasting, secure hold without sticking or drying out the hair. Professionals are happy to use it and not only due to the many positive qualities.
Schwarzkopf "Silhouette"Produced in pink, black and white bottles of 500 ml. White - varnish with soft fixation, black - with strong, pink - with color protection for dyed hair. A serious drawback is a very high price.
Schwarzkopf "Osis+" - Professional formula for fast and flawless styling, dries instantly and lasts up to 48 hours.The most expensive of the 3 brands discussed above, and judging by customer reviews, such a high price is not justified by anything.
Ollin Professional - a Russian brand that offers a good selection of tools for modeling and fixing styling. "Ollin Style Hairlac Ultra Strong" protects against "split ends" and is easily removed during combing, leaving no traces on the hair. "Ollin Style Hairlac Extra Strong" - varnish with extreme fixation leaves no chance for natural disasters, and also contains a caring complex and vitamins.
The price for the quality is perfect.
"Memory Effect" by "Charm Professional" - Another very worthy and budget domestic product. The "Memory effect" declared by the manufacturer is confirmed by the owners of short haircuts - when combing a fixed hairstyle, the styling shape is preserved.
Kapous "Studio Professional" - a well-known brand among professionals produces a dry varnish spray with an eco-friendly fine spray that does not stick hair, leaving the hair movable and natural for several hours. Sold only in specialized stores of professional cosmetics.
Professional Touch represents two types of varnish - Deluxe and Platinum with provitamin B5 and UV protection. Improves the structure of dyed, thin, damaged and lifeless hair, strengthens it, giving vitality, healthy shine and beautiful volume.
L'Oreal "Studio Line" absolutely no alcohol, therefore, does not dry the hair. It has no smell, which is a sign of good quality. Contains betaine and glycerin - components that add shine and moisturize hair.
The Korean brand closes our review today. L.A.F Professional, which is the least popular of the brands in the above list. It is difficult to earn the trust of customers if the qualities stated in the product description do not correspond to reality. Firstly, the alcohol content reaches 41%, which in itself excludes the concepts of "caring" and "harmless". Secondly, the statement on the bottle of the product "due to the content of the bamboo extract when fixing the hair does not stick together" turned out to be far from reality - the varnish sticks even fingers when it hits them, which causes the main dissatisfaction of most consumers.
This list of inconsistencies can be continued for a long time, so it is better to immediately name its advantages. There are only two of them: the degree of fixation (which is not surprising, if you remember the glued fingers) and the price, which is so low that it is even alarming.
In conclusion, we will briefly talk about colored varnishes, the palette of which gives a wide scope to the imagination and contributes to the realization of the most daring fantasies. All the colors of the rainbow with their own shades - black and white, gold and silver - will help turn any day into a unique holiday. But as you know, in every barrel of honey there is a fly in the ointment. In the case of colored varnishes, this very spoon is the lack of moisture resistance - as soon as the hair gets wet, the paint will flow from them, staining clothes and skin.
Although, on the other hand, it is this detail that can be called the main advantage - it shows that the pigment only paints the surface, without penetrating deeply and without changing the structure of the hair. In addition, returning the natural color is as easy as shelling pears - just wash your hair with shampoo.
When using varnish, follow the instructions for use, put on old clothes before painting and protect your face from liquid. You should not get carried away with colored varnishes, as they cover the hair with an airtight film that does not allow them to "breathe". From time to time you need to give your hair the opportunity to "rest".
In order not to harm your hair, stay up until you wash the paint off your head, and also apply nourishing and moisturizing masks to your hair at least once a week.
