Since ancient times, hair has been considered the main tool and property of a woman. The first means of caring for them appeared in ancient Egypt. Today it is a whole system of means and technologies. The most difficult and important stage is laying. The right hair styling products help a woman look great, which, in turn, adds sparkle to her eyes and self-confidence. But it is extremely difficult to make a choice in such a rich arsenal of hair technology and cosmetics.
Modern styling products can add shine, straighten or curl hair, and protect it from the weather. Protection has been developed not only from harmful environmental factors, but also from overdrying of hair, which occurs when straightening or curling. Experts divide all styling products into two main types: chemical - cosmetics, for example, gel, and mechanical, such as a hair dryer.
Chemicals
The huge amount of hair cosmetics is amazing. Leading in the variety of hair styling products. The most popular - varnish - women usefor several decades now. Since then, the range of its functions has expanded significantly. And now the varnish not only fixes the hairstyle, but also protects from ultraviolet radiation and bad weather, nourishes the hair with amino acids, makes it shine.
Foams and mousses are chosen by ladies who dream of a magnificent hairstyle. A small ball is applied to the hair immediately after washing. Suitable for owners of thin hair.
There are no harmful components in the composition of the wax. In addition, it is great for daily styling of curly and dry hair. The small percentage of oil contained in the wax makes hair more manageable and shiny.
Gel, traditionally considered a masculine styling product, is also used by women with short hair, as well as those who want to give their long curls a “wet hair effect”. It provides hair with nutrition, gives volume and strength, has a weak hold. Tonic and emulsion are light products, applied to fine hair after washing. Gives great volume. In addition, the emulsion still has the effect of a conditioner and does not allow the hair to tangle during drying. The lotion is also applied to dried hair. Thanks to him, the hair, when styling with curlers or a hairdryer, gains strength and volume.
Mechanical hair styling products
Hair dryer is a fairly popular device. "Registered" in every home. It is difficult to use it for styling on your own, so most women only dry their hair with it. But hairdressers use a hairdryer for styling much more often.
The oldest way to style hair is oncurlers. Slowly, they are fading into the past, and adherents are happy to switch to thermal curlers. You can understand them: soft plastic and clips that do not damage the hair, a paraffin rod inside, a special heating pad included, warming up in 5 minutes. And most importantly, the effect. Hair curled with hot rollers stays styled much longer than curled hair.
Irons and tongs for styling hair. The first - straighten the hair, the second - make curls. Irons are metal (harmful, but cheap), steam and ceramic (the most gentle for hair). Some pliers are equipped with several sets of removable attachments, making them a welcome gift for any woman.
