Straight twist, curly straighten - for many girls and women hair styling is a daily ritual. Styling spray helps to avoid hair loss, split ends and deterioration in the appearance of curls.
Additional nutrition, shine, volume, thermal protection and hydration - every major cosmetic brand has several curl care products in its line. We have selected the most popular products among customers.
Natura Siberica
Opens our review of the budget tool of a popular Russian manufacturer. A few years ago, the Natura Siberica sea buckthorn series reached the peak of its popularity, so the brand's specialists decided not to stop at shampoo and conditioner. This is how hair styling spray appeared in the collection with a bright aroma.
According to information from the manufacturer, the tool performs several functions at once:
- nutrition and hydration;
- structure restoration;
- strong hold.
Ingredients include oils of amaranth and Altai sea buckthorn, taiga lungwort and cedar milk.
Good composition and weak hold
Natura Siberica tried to create the perfect styling spray. Feedback from customers confirms that the task was completed by about 80%.
The curl care product has a non-oily texture, so the strands are light and airy, and shine appears. Sea buckthorn aroma remains for some time after styling, and the excellent composition does not worsen the condition of the hair. Another obvious advantage is the price - from 300 to 400 rubles.
However, Natura Siberica's strong hold cannot be matched by professional formulas, making styling difficult to last a full day.
Savonry
The problem of static electricity is well known to the fair sex. About twenty years ago, the best remedy was an ordinary antistatic agent, which was applied to a comb. Fortunately, today cosmetics manufacturers have developed more suitable products.
One of the main favorites for lovers of natural cosmetics has become Savonry spray conditioner. It does the job with ease: detangles, adds shine and reduces static.
Despite the absence of silicones, dry hair reacts perfectly to the spray. According to customers, a product with a subtle aroma facilitates styling and does not deprive the strand of volume.
Taft
According to polls, two thirds of the fair sex use Taft hair products from Schwarzkopf. For more than 50 years, hairsprays, foams and gels have helped millions of women create and maintain the perfect hairstyle.
Today Taft is synonymous with quality and innovation. Literally from the first application, many customers were captivated by the Looks Designer hair styling spray gel. With ultra-fine spraying, you can create any creative hairstyle. Reviews note that the tool practically does not stick together and does not weigh down the curls.
Cons:
- uneconomical consumption;
- alcohol in the composition.
Matrix
Few of us nature has endowed with lush and thick hair, so in search of additional volume, we do not stop buying various professional hair styling sprays. Unfortunately, the composition of such products is not the best, but for the sake of a spectacular hairstyle, you have to put up with it.
Reviews of the fair sex most often highlight Matrix Amplify Wonder Boost Root Lifter. Long-name spray from the famous American brand provides volume at the roots with a unique formula and a convenient dispenser.
Long-lasting hold, root volume and shine - these are the three main promises from the manufacturer. The composition of the spray is enriched with panthenol for moisturizing and proteins to strengthen damaged curls. Almond glycerin and well-balanced polymers control the appearance of stiffness and tackiness, although some customers report a little stickiness.
Kerastase
As you know, our skin and hair are gradually getting used tocosmetics. For this reason, it is necessary to periodically change not only shampoos, conditioners and masks, but also hair styling sprays.
Volume and salon care in one bottle is offered by the Kerastase brand, owned by the no less famous L'Oreal company. In the Couture Styling line, professionals have presented an unusual spray-powder for basal volume.
According to reviews, the product is more like dry shampoo in consistency and principle of action. Once sprayed, the fine particles add shine, curls and provide thermal protection.
Lisap Milano
It's no secret that high temperatures, that is, all kinds of irons and curling irons, harm hair the most. If you can't imagine your daily routine without these tools, then a heat-protective styling spray should always be on hand.
Lisap Milano Kerasil Complex is considered one of the best, according to customers. This is a great hydrating spray from an Italian manufacturer that protects and smoothes the hair.
Hair styling spray effectively protects curls from high temperatures, strengthens and prevents tangles. The bright pink bottle hides an amazing product with an incredible berry aroma.
Kerasil Complex does not stick, weigh down or add greasy strands. The main disadvantages of the spray are not very economical consumption and high price. In addition, the product from the Italian manufacturerpretty hard to find for sale. Despite the smoothing properties, some customers experiment with curling. The result is beautiful curls that last up to two days.
Markell
Professional cosmetics are gradually replacing no less high-quality products from Russian and Belarusian manufacturers. Another hero of our review was Markell Hair Styling Heat Protection Spray.
Anti-static effect, shine and silkiness, treatment of split ends and, of course, thermal protection - specialists from Belarus position their creation as professional care at an affordable price.
Indeed, compared to similar products, Markell spray is several times cheaper. Customers note economical consumption, excellent hair distribution and a specific aroma that quickly disappears. The list of active ingredients includes macadamia oil, Styleze CC-10 thermoprotective polymer, dimethicone and D-panthenol.
According to the reviews of girls and women, hair styling spray is suitable as protection during blow-drying. If you are going to use a more aggressive device, such as a conical curling iron, then choose a more reliable manufacturer.
How to choose a varnish?
Heat protection, volume and easy combing - products with such effects are applied before styling. However, the finished hairstyle, as a rule, needs additional fixation. As a final touch, professional stylists recommend spray varnish forhair styling.
When choosing a varnish, pay attention to the following points:
- Composition. The absence of alcohol is welcome, which can change the structure of the hair and cause an allergic reaction. The list of components must include vitamins, amino acids, glycerin and panthenol.
- Degree of fixation. For thin and soft hair, the weakest fixation is suitable, for naughty and coarse - strong, and super-strong - only for evening styling and bad weather conditions.
- Fragrance. Experts believe that high-quality hair sprays are practically odorless. Heard intrusive notes - refrain from buying.
At the top of the national rating was Schwarzkopf cosmetics, whose specialists have been creating styling products under various brands for decades. Osis+, Professional Laque Super Strong Hold and Silhouette, Taft, Gliss Kur and Got2b are just a few of the hairsprays that have been successful with Russian customers.
Other global giants Wella and Nivea, as well as Estel (Russia), Prelest (Russia) and Bielita-Viteks (Belarus) are not far behind the leaders.
People's advice
It is almost impossible to find a high-quality varnish with a natural composition. Another thing is folk advice, according to which you can make a hair styling product yourself.
For example, the recipe of our great-grandmothers is sugar varnish. Add 20 g of sugar to a glass of water. Bring the mixture to a boil, and after cooling, apply to your hair. Tounfortunately, stiffness and brittleness after such styling is unlikely to be avoided.
Cosmetics opponents also suggest rinsing strands with a solution of rye bread, spraying with water with lemon and alcohol, curling with beer foam. Fifty years ago, such methods were justified by the lack of an alternative, but folk recipes can cause noticeable damage to the hair of modern girls and women. In addition, a great selection of beauty boutiques allows you to choose a styling product that suits any type of hair and budget.
