Wash your hair, dry it and comb it. For many people, that's the extent of the attention they usually dedicate to their hair. And while it's not bad, it's boring at times. So there comes a time when you want to try new hairstyles and products to achieve a slightly different look. The problem is that, with this positive desire to venture into different things, difficulties come. From how to get hair waves that last all day, and that don't get lost when you leave the house, to finding a straightening that doesn't frizz at the first change. As well as one of the classics: achieving a hairstyle with hair gel or hairspray without weighing down the hair.
It is precisely in this last situation that many doubts arise, since, often, these products are not applied as they should. You don't have to be afraid of fixatives, it's just a matter of learning how to handle them properly. These are products that are very useful for achieving certain hairstyles or finishes, especially if the goal is for them to last as long as possible in perfect condition.
They are used to set hairstyles, control unruly hair, prevent frizz and even to achieve specific looks, such as the wet effect. The first thing to keep in mind when using gel or other fixative has to do with determining the degree of fixation of the product in question, since not all have the same one. There are lighter ones, which will give rise to a more natural and subtle look, but they will also be weaker. And others with which to keep each hair in place with complete confidence.
Once you have chosen the correct product, it is time to apply it. And no, it will not be done with dry hair, since this is one of the common mistakes that usually causes clumps and clumps. The proper way is to use the hairspray after washing it, after removing excess water and having detangled it very well.
The next thing will be not to go overboard with the amount of product. The size of an almond is usually enough. Although more may be needed depending on the length of the hair, the areas to be fixed and the level of hold of the product in question. The recommendation is to spread it on your hands, spread it and then apply it to your hair. You should also not forget to comb your hair as soon as you apply the product, you should not wait for it to dry. Otherwise, it will be more difficult to shape and may even take time to obtain the desired result.
