Hair Gel

Hair Gels are a very versatile styling product and can be used to mold and shape your hair to just about any style you were wanting depending on the holding strength of the gel. They are also broken down into three different categories depending on the strength which are light, firm and strong.

Light hold hair gels are normally used for hairstyles that have a good amount of leeway to move around and to bring out more of your natural hair type. Light hold hair gels can be used for all hair types and lengths.

Firm hold hair gels are slightly stronger and is used to really define your hairstyle especially when it requires very precise shaping (i.e. spiky hair). Firm hold hair gels are suitable for straight and wavy hair that are short and medium in length.

Strong hold hair gels are the strongest of all the gel types and is best used for the really crazy hair styles that need very accurate styling to pull off. This type of hair gel is recommended for straight and wavy hair with a short or medium length.

Hair Wax

It also gives your hair a more shiny and glossy finish. This type of styling product is mostly used for straight and wavy hair that is between a short and medium length.

Hair Mousse

Hair mousse is a styling product that is perfect for giving definition to wavy, curly and kinky hair. They provide a bit of holding strength so you can slightly style your hair as well and depending on the type of hair mousse you can pull of the wet hair look as well. This styling product is also good for any type of hair length including long hair.

Hair Spray

Hair sprays are typically used to lock your hairstyle in once you’ve shaped your hair with other styling products. You should definitely use a higher quality hair spray that doesn’t flake if you touch your hair. These flakes can resemble dandruff and no one wants anyone mistaking it for that!
