Ideally, you should use hairspray every two to three days after washing or brushing your hair, rather than every day.
Why Not Use Hairspray Daily?
Using hairspray every day can lead to product buildup, making your hair feel stiff, sticky, and dull. It can also potentially dry out your hair over time.
Recommended Usage:
- Frequency: Every two to three days.
- Application: Short bursts (1-2 seconds).
- Distance: Approximately 30 cm (12 inches) from your hair.
- Technique: Spray evenly over the desired area.
Best Practices for Using Hairspray:
- Choose the right hairspray: Select a hairspray formulated for your hair type (e.g., fine, thick, dry, oily). Different hold levels are also available.
- Brush your hair before spraying: This helps distribute the product evenly.
- Use in a well-ventilated area: Avoid inhaling hairspray.
- Wash your hair regularly: Remove product buildup.
- Consider using a clarifying shampoo: To deep clean your hair occasionally.
- Avoid overuse: Less is often more.
Alternative Options
If you want to style your hair daily without using hairspray every day, consider using alternatives like:
- Mousse: Adds volume and texture.
- Gel: Provides a stronger hold.
- Texturizing spray: Creates a tousled, undone look.
- Sea salt spray: Adds texture and waves.
By following these guidelines, you can use hairspray effectively without damaging your hair.
