Hair fixers and finishes, the desired style within reach

We've all probably woken up with unruly or limp hair, which requires a lot of time to fix. However, other days we don't have enough time to achieve a voluminous and well-defined hairstyle and we simply put it up. A perfect hairstyle is essential to having a good image. We all want to look radiant under any circumstances, so we turn to our best allies: cosmetic products, which help us to improve our appearance quickly and effectively.

High-quality hair styling products are in a process of continuous development, so the problem of how to get a perfect and long-lasting hairstyle is already solved. The secret lies in the use of specific finishing products, designed to speed up the hair drying or styling process. In turn, these cosmetics are designed to protect the hair tissue from heat and, most importantly, to set the finish. Hair styling fixatives are the products par excellence to achieve the hairstyle we want so much, so it is important to know the most relevant characteristics of each type of item.

Types of fixatives

Before starting the process of styling our hairstyle, we must know the main characteristics of each of the products and know the uses of each item, to achieve the best hairstyle definition.

• Styling gel is a very versatile product that can be used to achieve spectacular effects, from pointed tips to impeccable updos. It is usually used to style short hair, although it is also useful for taming unruly locks in long hair. Gel is usually formulated with a large amount of alcohol, an ingredient that dries out our hair excessively. In addition, when the styling gel dries, it does not allow you to restyle your hair, as it becomes fixed and inflexible.
• Mousse should always be applied to damp hair and is perfect for adding volume and definition. There are some with or without alcohol, but you have to be careful with the latter because it can dry out your hair. They are perfect for curly hair, as they allow you to control the definition and hold you want. To get a wet effect, you should let your hair air dry and if you want a looser curl, you can brush your hair afterwards.
• Hairsprays are used to keep your hair style fixed and unchanged throughout the day. A few years ago, you needed to use purifying shampoos to remove all the resins, but today the compositions have improved a lot. There are also volume sprays, which are used to volumize the roots, and shine sprays, whose sole purpose is to provide added luminosity to the hair. We recommend brushing your hair to remove the product at the end of the day, to prevent the hair from drying out due to lack of oxygen.
• Waxes are ideal for achieving matte finishes with a medium hold, depending on the product. They are used to achieve casual finishes and are generally made with paraffins. They can be applied to damp hair and left to dry naturally or to dry hair to better define the cut.
• Pomades allow you to reshape your style throughout the day and there are two types of pomades depending on the finish you want to achieve. Oil-based pomades are the original formula and are harder to remove from the hair, and water-based pomades are very similar to oil-based pomades, but easier to remove.
• There is a middle ground between pomades and waxes, known as creams because of their texture. They usually have a medium to strong hold and give hair a natural shine.
• Styling water provides soft hold and vitality to all hair types without weighing it down. It is ideal for achieving a natural look to your hairstyle.

Tips for a more manageable hairstyle

• Combing your hair before washing it will prevent unnecessary tangling. Afterwards, we recommend applying a conditioner close to the roots of your hair and gently massaging it into your scalp. When drying, do so gently with a towel instead of rubbing it.
• When detangling your hair, separate it into small sections and detangle the ends first.
• Use a wide-toothed wooden or hard rubber comb and gently comb small sections of hair.
• It is important to know our face before choosing the right hairstyle, since each hairstyle has a different effect on each person.
• It is advisable to wash your hair properly, as well as choosing a good shampoo and conditioner.
• When applying a setting product, it is important to nourish the hair with an oil to regenerate dry and lifeless hair.
• Nutrition will also help your scalp look more beautiful.
