The most popular, well-known and most actively used styling product is a modeling hairspray. Despite the significantly expanded range of styling products in recent years, it continues to occupy a leading position.

The secret behind the continued popularity of hair styling sprays is the combination of convenience and efficiency. In fact, modeling hairspray is a familiar liquid form, which, unlike dry, dries longer. Accordingly, during this time, you can make some adjustments to the image: highlight individual strands, emphasize the parting, change the shape of the bangs.

Modeling varnish may also be referred to as spray or shaping varnish by various manufacturers. Its main difference from its counterpart in the dry form is the possibility of working out the individual components of the styling, while the dry one is used for the final fixing of the hairstyle.

Importantly, liquid varnish is indispensable for styling thick, heavy, wavy, curly and coarse hair, but at the same time it is great for creating smooth classic styling and allows you to completely hide short vellus hairs.

To give the finished hairstyle a perfect shape and a neat look, the knock-out strands can be processed additionally, and then combed in the direction of growth and smoothed with a wide-toothed comb. For thin hair, such a varnish is also indispensable: it will help to provide styling with a persistent additional volume.

Rules for applying modeling varnish

To ensure a uniform application, it is necessary to spray the varnish from a distance of approximately 30 centimeters. On long and medium length hair, the product is applied from the bottom up.

As for the degree of fixation, similarly to other styling products, it can be different. For example, thin hair will be fine with a light hold, while thick, dense and stubborn hair needs a stronger hold. In addition, the more complex the shape of the hair is planned to be, the more resistant styling products must be used.

A high-quality modeling varnish should not weigh down and stick strands and leave a whitish coating on the surface. After application, they should retain their natural appearance and elasticity.

Disadvantages of modeling hairspray

The only drawback of such a tool is the presence of alcohol in the composition, which has a drying effect.

There are situations when an already processed strand needs to be corrected. But if you try to comb it, it can become stiff and covered with bloom. A fat-based remedy will help correct the situation. For example, wax is suitable, which, after application, will separate the hairs and allow you to re-model the styling.

If, after the end of the styling, a small coating appeared on the strands, then shine will help to correct the situation. Well, in general, when using modeling varnish, you must follow the same rules as for other styling products - apply only to clean hair, do not use simultaneously with more than one additional product and follow the measure so as not to achieve the effect of excessively heavy and oily hair.
