Hair spray

Today, when much attention is paid to appearance, beauty products are extremely popular. They are used to create a luxurious look, of which the hairstyle is an integral part. Hair sprays help to fix it, of which there is a huge assortment on the modern market.

The main feature of varnishes is their ability to provide fixation. The degree of fixation is due to various qualitative characteristics of the product.

In all the variety of hair products, there is a specificity based on the characteristics of the hair and its types. Lacquers are classified according to the degree of fixation. Distinguish means from weak to strong and superstrong fixation.

To create styling in the most natural way, the most correct option would be to use "light" varnishes. If the fixation is weak, then the hairstyle looks most natural. When using this type of product, it is possible to correct the hair during the day, combing the hair or straightening the broken strands. Strong (or even super-strong) are suitable for maintaining hairstyles in all weather conditions.

Another feature is the fact that modern products usually contain sparing elements, due to which the hair does not become sticky, does not lose volume. They do not form a greasy film. Funds are easily and quickly removed. Such funds are not contraindicated for allergy sufferers, since in most cases they do not cause negative reactions on the scalp.

A spectacular image is often made up of many parts, one of which is a good hairstyle. In its creation, active assistance is provided by hairsprays, which fix the styling and prevent its decay under various weather conditions and circumstances. That is why it is very difficult to do without such hair care products.

So, the main task of hairspray is to preserve the hairstyle in its original form. If we focus on the descriptions offered by manufacturers, it can be noted that modern hair care products perform not only fixing functions, but also healing ones. A good tool can strengthen the hair structure, add volume and shine to curls, and also protect them from the aggressive influence of the external environment.

It is good that the modern market is replete with cosmetic products of various kinds, because today you can find exactly what suits individual needs and features. However, choosing the right varnish is not very easy, because the range is wide, because of this, the eyes literally run up.

To begin with, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the existing types of products and studying them in detail in order to understand which of them meet personal requirements and which do not.

Means are divided into professional and non-professional. The first ones were created taking into account the increased requirements of hairdressers who prefer the use of the most natural varnishes: odorless, non-sticky. They also serve to increase the volume of the hair. It is important to know that when choosing cosmetics of this type, stylists always focus on the type of hair. They understand that for thin and weakened curls, it is necessary to use the lightest spray that cannot harm them, but only fixes the hairstyle for a while.

If the girls have hard and “stubborn” hair, then a varnish with an ultra-strong degree of hair fixing is used for them - a “grip of steel”. It is also suitable for long hair - in cases where a rather complicated hairstyle is made on them, which must be kept for a long period and even under severe weather conditions.

There are also modeling varnishes that help girls achieve a different effect on their hair. Often, curly women want to make their hair straight and smooth, so they turn to straightening varnishes. Other representatives of the fair sex are trying to create the effect of lamination at the expense of varnish, which is now at the peak of popularity, as it makes hair strong, elastic and provides them with a healthy shine.

Thanks to varnishes, sometimes you can decorate your hair: there are tinting agents (including those with a gray hair effect), with sparkles, which often contain children's varnishes. This decorative effect is absolutely safe, the product is easily washed off.Such products will be a good addition to the festive look, decorating it and making it elegant and solemn. However, you should not abuse such means.

This cosmetics is not only in the form of a spray, it also exists in other consistencies. Hairdressers often use gel polishes and mousses to fix styling on short haircuts. Waxes are popular among those with curls, voluminous and unruly hair, such products will help to give them the desired look or create the effect of wet hair.

Styling hair powders are the latest in hairdressing, they are innovative in their formula and have been created with a revolutionary approach. The products are suitable only for those who have generally dry hair, but greasy only at the roots. The powder will correct this by preventing the rapid appearance of oiliness at the hairline.

The basis of products of this type are polymers, which are also contained in paints and adhesives, but in the composition of varnishes they are lighter and softer. They are responsible for the durability of the future hairstyle, because in their action they resemble a light (or not very, depending on the specific product) film that fixes the strands.

The next component is alcohol, which is a solvent. It is worth noting that this element is not present in all products; there are professional products without alcohol.

Propylenes are found in hairsprays in order to spread the liquid, as well as to ensure even distribution through the hair. The same function is possessed by plasticizers, which are also responsible for the mobility of cured hair. It is important to know: the higher the level of fixation, the less plasticizers in the composition, but more polymers.

GOST prescribes that the composition contains as many natural substances as possible, so most manufacturers seek to abandon gas if possible. Manufacturers also add restorative components to varnishes, vitamins that have a healing effect on the hair, help maintain the excellent condition of the hair and take care of the structure. These include glycerin and panthenol, which create the effect of moisturizing the hair. Sometimes extracts of medicinal plants (for example, aloe) act as components.

Many products today even include extracts of various herbs and UV filters. The latter must certainly be applied during the summer, as they can protect the hair from the scorching sun and ultraviolet radiation.

Like any cosmetic preparations, varnishes also have a shelf life, averaging about three years. However, for different manufacturers, the duration of operation can vary significantly, so you need to pay close attention to the packaging, which indicates such nuances.

In today's market, there are a number of manufacturers that offer a wide range of their products. The highest quality hair care products are produced by German companies - for example, NIVEA, Schwarzkopf Silhouette. In Russia, one of the leading positions in the beauty industry is occupied by "Clean line" and "Horsepower". The latest brand is popular not only among ordinary women: many professionals use such tools, creating styling for the stars.

Premium hair sprays are designed for stylists: manufacturers take into account their requests and wishes, including the absence of alcohol and odor.In such products, everything that is important for hairdressers is taken into account - not only durability, but also care. This is typical for companies matrix, Oribe, bed head (line "Tigi"), Keune.

High-quality products will not form a greasy film on the hair, but will easily fix the curls, making them mobile, obedient, but at the same time they will not let the hair deteriorate. Often, high-end products include marine collagen, which helps moisturize the hair and maintain its natural water balance.

Some brands belong to the so-called mass market cosmetic class, but they produce very high quality products. Among these companies Avon, Faberlic, Bielita-Vitex.

There are brands that are not very well known in Russia - for example, Nelly, Nova, Jet, Ollin Professional Style, «Entourage". Although they are not yet leaders in beauty ratings, nevertheless, the products of these brands have found their buyers and occupied a certain niche in the market. They offer economical consumption and high-quality atomization thanks to fine particles that ensure flawless styling.

Lacquer has been in high demand lately Ducastel, which has a very affordable price, but at the same time does not lose to analogues in quality. Thanks to a special formula, it moisturizes the hair along the entire length, does not weigh it down and does not stick together.

Concept Art Style - new hair care products with an innovative concept that allowed us to create a dry spray varnish for extra strong hold. Thanks to the natural formula, it does not lay on the hair with a film, but is distributed in an even layer, forming a natural fixation. Another interesting brand is Finesse - in the funds from this manufacturer there are silk proteins.Moreover, this lacquer will help to keep your hairstyle from early morning until late at night - thanks to the ultra-resistant fixation, which is perfect for owners of coarse and unruly hair.

Recently, there has been a fashion for making cosmetics at home, because many women have ceased to trust manufacturers that use many chemicals in cosmetics. This can be dangerous for both hair and skin. That is why it is worth trying to make varnish at home from those products that absolutely any housewife can find:

• Water and lemon. Take a fresh lemon and squeeze the juice from it into a saucepan, then add 500 ml of clean (preferably bottled) water there. The rest of the lemon must be boiled in this mixture over low heat. This should be done until the skin becomes soft. After that, let the solution brew, and then pass it through a cloth or gauze. The resulting liquid can be used as a varnish, which is applied using a spray bottle.

• Varnish from vodka and lemon. Instead of water, vodka was used here (to maximize the life of the varnish). First you need to take from two to four lemons, cut them into small slices, put them in a saucepan, add water and cook over low heat for about half an hour. The next step is to strain the liquid through cheesecloth. Add one tablespoon of vodka and stir. The finished product can now be used by first pouring it into the sprayer.

It is not very difficult to guess that there are many products on the beauty market today, which makes the selection process difficult. The most important criterion that you should rely on when choosing cosmetics for hair care is the amount of alcohol in the composition. The smaller it is, the better, since it will not harm the curls, making them dry and brittle. The effect of alcohol is cumulative. If you use varnish infrequently, this substance is unlikely to have a serious effect, but with everyday use it will lead to thinning curls, allergies, split ends, and even hair loss.

Then you should look at the content of medicinal ingredients in the composition (glycerin, betaine). They maintain the balance of moisture in each hair and help protect the hair from the negative effects of the environment, this is especially true for residents of megacities.

When choosing cosmetics of this type, pay attention to your hair type and select a product in accordance with it. Those products that are suitable for brittle and dry hair will not be very appropriate for coarse and voluminous hair. For the latter, it is worth buying products with strong and super-strong fixation, and for sick and weakened hair, varnishes with a low level are suitable, since too strong fixation will weigh down the hair. So the hairstyle will not last long.

This suggests that the manufacturer did not use fragrances in large volumes. They can cause some allergic reactions.The solid content of flavorings contributes to the fact that the aroma of toilet water is not felt (being suppressed due to the persistent smell of hairspray).

There is only one single rule that explains how to properly use hairspray: it must be done in moderation. Using varnish every day, it is better to use products with light textures, with a minimum amount of alcohol and with the lowest degree of fixation. The abuse of such cosmetics can lead to hair diseases, it will make them weak and brittle. No matter how gentle the ingredients in the composition, the manufacturer still uses chemicals that affect the hair.

To create a beautiful hairstyle and achieve the best durability, you must follow these tips:

• If you use hairspray that contains alcohol, apply it only to the ends of your hair so as not to damage your scalp. Of course, it is far from a fact that this can happen, but it is better to warn yourself against negative consequences.
• Before using the product, check the spray hole. In the event that it is clogged, it is better to fix it, otherwise the varnish will not be sprayed, but will pour through the can in the form of a sticky liquid.
• For an even application of the layer, the best option would be to keep the package at a distance of about 30 centimeters from the hair. Moreover, when pouring hair with varnish, it is better to constantly move the bottle in order to avoid a wet and greasy effect on the hair. After applying, wait a couple of minutes for the product to dry.

• To avoid the appearance of white marks on the roots when combing, do not pour a lot of varnish in one place, and after applying it, either comb lightly or go through the hair with your hands, whisking it a little.
• Owners of oily hair are contraindicated in the use of hairspray, which gives shine and contains shining particles.
• Advice for those who have bangs. Since it gets dirty faster than other curls, try using a small amount of varnish after washing your hair. This will save the bangs from rapid pollution and the appearance of fat.

To create an amazing hairstyle, you do not have to put a lot of effort. It is only important to choose the styling style, perform it with the help of certain manipulations, after which the hair must be fixed with varnish so that it does not collapse. The video below shows one of the curling examples.

Professional varnishes provide for a very long fixation period, which ranges from 10 hours to a day. When using a regular varnish, it is necessary to correct the hairstyle after 3-4 hours, since such products are not designed for a greater effect - although this, of course, depends on the degree of resistance.

Removing hairspray is pretty easy. Before washing your hair, you need to carefully comb your hair, removing the bulk of the product, and its residues must be washed off, actively massaging the scalp.

Usually reviews about hair care products are positive, but it is rather problematic to determine the best, because each girl is unique. The body may react differently to certain foods. In this matter, one cannot but turn to the opinion of hairdressers, who have compiled a rating of the most effective and safe varnishes.

Three brands are leading: Schwarzkopf, Wellaflex and Syoss. However, this does not mean that other brands produce low quality analogues.You just need to keep in mind: cosmetics are selected empirically. What looks good to some people may not work to others.
