How do you apply hair spray paint?

Applying hair spray paint is a fairly simple process if you follow the right steps. Here’s how to do it:

Steps for Applying Hair Spray Paint

Start with Clean, Dry Hair: Before you begin, make sure your hair is clean, completely dry, and free from any product buildup. This ensures the hair spray paint adheres evenly and provides the best results.
Prepare Your Area: Protect your surroundings by working in a well-ventilated area and covering surfaces with old newspapers or towels to avoid staining.
Section Your Hair: Divide your hair into sections to make the application more manageable and even. Use clips to keep the sections you’re not working on out of the way.
Spray on Your Hair Color: Holding the can about 6-10 inches away from your hair, spray the color onto the sections you've prepared. Use short, even bursts to apply the hair spray paint, avoiding heavy, concentrated sprays that could lead to uneven color and wet patches.
- Example: Start with a light layer and then add more as needed to reach your desired color intensity.
- Tip: For highlights, focus the spray on the ends or specific strands.
- Note: Be sure to follow the specific product instructions as variations may exist.
Style Your Hair as Usual: Once the hair spray paint has dried completely, you can style your hair as you normally would, using a brush or comb. Try not to use too much product that may cause the spray paint to move around.

Test Spray: Perform a test spray on a piece of paper or in a discreet area of your hair to check the color and spray pattern before applying it to your whole head.
Ventilation: Always use hair spray paint in a well-ventilated area.
Even Layers: Avoid applying too much at once, and build the color gradually for an even and natural-looking finish.
Washing: The hair spray paint should wash out with shampoo, but may require more than one wash depending on your product type and hair porosity.

By following these steps and tips, you can easily and effectively apply hair spray paint to achieve your desired look.
