5 tips to make your hairstyle last all day
1. Fix your hairstyle with a Styling Gel natural
To fix your hair, the first solution is to use fixing products. This is the most effective remedy for making your hairstyle last all day. Hairspray is a fixing product that is used once the hairstyle is done, the blow-drying is finished or your curls are well defined. It is used to finish the hairstyle and combat all the frizz that can bother us. The hairspray sits quietly on your hair in a light veil and should not leave any deposits. We often think that hairspray damages hair. When the hairspray is natural and used wisely, that is to say it is not used in too large a quantity, it will add hold to your hairstyle without having a cardboard effect. If you have thick hair, you can choose a fairly strong hairspray which will help hold your hair in place. Conversely, choose a lighter hairspray if you have rather fine hair. If the hairspray is too strong for your hair, it will accentuate the cardboard effect if you tend to have a heavy hand.
Directions for use: once your hairstyle is finished, spray the product about twenty centimeters from the hair using broad, circular movements. For small, unruly locks, spray a little hairspray on your comb or directly on your hand and gently comb them back into place.
2. Don’t wash your hair before
It may seem surprising, but it is not recommended to do your hairstyle right after washing your hair. Do you know why? When hair is clean, it is naturally softer and slides more easily, making it difficult to achieve a style that lasts all day. On the other hand, washing your hair one or two days before doing a beautiful hairstyle will allow the scalp to produce sebum. Sebum is a natural substance produced by the body and which plays an essential role in the health and protection of the skin and hair. It is a precious ally for maintaining a hairstyle for as long as possible. Sebum forms a lipid film which makes the hair more manageable and ensures better hold. Furthermore, for people who have oily hair, it is sometimes complicated not to wash their hair every day. We recommend spraying a little water on your clean roots to reduce hair slippage when styling. And to remedy this problem, find all our advice for caring for oily hair.
Tip: It is recommended to wash your hair the day before with a volume shampoo which will add volume and hold the hairstyle better. When shampooing, also avoid the use of nourishing treatments which will smooth the hair fiber and which will make the hair slippery.
3. Use natural hair care
Many hair care products can help you fix your hairstyle. As a replacement for hairspray, dry shampoo and texturizing spray are valuable allies. They give consistency and volume to your hair, which prevents it from sagging as soon as you go outside. Dry shampoo helps absorb excess sebum and refresh the roots between washes. It is applied to dry hair, preferably tilting the head downwards for more volume. It also helps restore volume to your hair and extend the life of your hairstyle. Find our 5 good reasons to use dry shampoo. As for the texturizing spray, it is designed to give volume and body to your hair. It is best to use it on damp hair, before blow-drying it. Heat helps enhance the effects of the product by adding volume and a more defined texture to your hair. This also results in a longer lasting hairstyle. By using a texturizing spray or volumizing spray before styling, you will achieve improved volume and hold.
Tip: For those with fine hair, don’t hesitate to comb a few strands to add more volume. For fuller hair, using a special fine hair routine will also help you achieve beautiful hair in the long term.
4. Nourish your hair
Hair care products based on vegetable oils and vegetable butters are excellent for protecting your hair from humidity and have many benefits. These natural ingredients help nourish and hydrate the hair, while forming a protective barrier that locks in moisture and prevents moisture from penetrating the hair fiber. To properly nourish your hair, we recommend Argan oil, Coconut oil, Jojoba oil, Avocado oil and Castor oil. These oils are rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants that nourish the hair and give it great shine. As for vegetable butters, Shea butter and Cocoa butter will provide you with intense hydration. These butters are rich in fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants which intensely nourish the hair, protect it from external aggressions and make it softer and more supple.
Tip: Apply the treatments to your towel-dried hair after washing and before drying it. This will allow the ingredients to penetrate the hair fiber more effectively, leaving your hair softer, stronger and shinier. This added moisture protection will help keep your style in place longer, even in humid or rainy weather.
5. Use accessories
To maintain your hairstyle throughout the day, using hair accessories is essential. Clips, elastics, barrettes or headbands can all help keep your hair in place. Alone or in addition to the setting products that you have used, they will be essential to you. Choose your accessories based on the texture and thickness of your hair; the thicker your hair, the thicker the accessories should be. By using accessories, your hair will be less damaged and this will ensure optimal hold of your hairstyle.
