And among such a variety on the shelves - not an easy task. In today's article I will give a couple of tips, how to choose a good hairspray for any problem and without unpleasant consequences for the hair and scalp.
Under what tasks require some degree of fixation
Levels of fixation than three (weak, medium and strong), and more. In Scharzkopf of six, for example. Each degree of fixation - for different tasks. Someone needed a natural and soft styling for the day, someone is thick and coarse hair, which will only paint with a high degree of fixation.
Fixation degree and problem solving:
A small remark. Below is a six degrees of gradation in accordance Schwarzkopf. In Lisap, for example, only three degrees of fixing: normal, strong and extra-strong. Confusion large and more or less structured all at Schwarzkopf
- 1 (natural): For natural styling, weak and invisible fixation, creates the effect of careless hair, while not limiting their movement;
- 2 (strong): Invisible fixing, does not limit the hair elasticity, it solves the problem of unruly hair, but an average of 12 hours;
- 3 (extra-strong): Average lock, locks at the same time do not stick together and does not weigh down the hair;
4 - (ultra-strong): All the same as that of the third degree, but a little longer time fixes the hair, but some of their heavier;
- 5 (mega-strong): Strong fixation for complex and high hair, keeps the whole day and a little less time, if the outside humidity or wind;
- 6 (extreme): Very strong fixation, such use is its sophisticated styling that will last throughout the day, but the hair looks stiff, very difficult washed off.
Now you'll know how much you need strong fixing.
What to look for in the composition of
All hairsprays - harmful composition. All because of the film-former - are complex polymers, which act as retainers. When the varnish is sprayed on the hair, fine particles of the copolymers (and they have film formers) lie on them stick together, make hair fluffy and less forced to stay apart by a small distance.
The basis of all catches - ethyl alcohol. The initial production stage of varnish is that the reactor (where all components are dissolved and stirring) was charged with ethanol, then - the neutralizing agent is an amino-methylpropanol, copolymers and perfume. In general, explosive and flammable mixture.
But now, in varnishes add useful components, which reduce damage to the hair. It:
- pro-vitamin B5 (panthenol) - moisturize the hair, nourish and give elasticity;
- Betaine - does not dry out the hair, nourishes and gives shine;
- glycerol - retains moisture;
- aminomethyl propanol or isopropyl - not very useful component, simply weakens the effect of other harmful alcohols in the composition;
- chemical SPF-filter (octyl methoxycinnamate) - albeit weakly, but protects against UV rays.
If present in the composition of the acrylates copolymer, such hairspray provide stable fixation in any weather, whether it is though storm.
fixing the degree and type of hair
Weak fixation (1-2 degrees) - for fine hair. There is not even worth to worry about the sustainability of the results, in such a natural hair styling can last throughout the day quietly.
Normal fixation (3-4 degrees) - for dry and unruly hair.
But with strong fixing lacquers little harder. For example, popular with stylists blue lacquer Schwarzkopf Laque Super Strong Hold recommended for long (from the waist and below) the natural hair. For long and painted - from varnishes Lisap with extra-strong fixation, they have a more gentle composition and without a "raid".
Dry or liquid hairspray
Dry (ie, aerosol) - it simulates. They create the very form of styling. A liquid after you have created the form, - correct and secured.
Both types of lacquer used in hairdressing master. First, use dry, then - the liquid. But not vice versa, or if after the liquid lacquer finish dry - formed "raid" on the hair.
I use a liquid paint in everyday styling with thermal protection.
Spray
One of the main factors of quality varnish. Because the nebulizer paving result depends: bad dispenser "heavier" and "nails" stacking. The sprayer should be easy to press and, preferably, ultrafine dispersion (when pshiknuli away and formed not just a cloud and fog... I hope you understand what I mean).
The smell of varnish and particles
If the varnish quietly combed hair after application - a quality lacquer. And a good varnish should not interrupt its aroma smell your perfume, an exception - lacquer with a high degree of fixation.
