6. Don't Overuse Products
How much product you should use depends on
density, length and texture of your hair. A few products give you control. However, too many may lose your control over your hair.
Compared to super-hold gel, one can use lots more of mousse. Start with small quantities, gradually increasing depending upon feedback your hair gives. Use a drop or two of pomades, shiners and glossers. Give up finishers, conditioners and volumizers.
Remember, you can always add more!
7. Add Body
Limp, flat lifeless hair days are considered as bad hair days. Do you want to add body to your hair? Bend at waist, start drying your freshly washed hair as you finger style it. When half of moisture has disappeared, add gel or mousse. Finally use a large-toothed comb or vent brush to lift hair. If it is humid, use a tiny amount of mousse. Finger style it into dry hair.
8. Tame That Cowlick
Cowlicks are mostly at back crown area or at hairline. A hairline cowlick can look smart when you lift it to get more height, or brush hair in opposite direction. Little gel before drying gives it wanted look.
In case of back crown cowlick, use hot rollers only for that portion. For short hair, two rollers are set in alternating directions. Once rollers have cooled, backcomb area, smoothen surface and comb ends.
9. Easy Up do
The golden rule for a great up do is to gather all your hair together high and neatly high enough on your head. Carefully rolling or wrapping it in desired direction hide pins under a seam or a bun.
10. Be Prepared
A small bottle of water can be handy for misting hair if it leaves its setting by midday. If it is humid, carry a small size of a frizz control product. Getting a shorter cut, a body perm or a root perm can control hair limping in humid weather.
Separated curls are trendy and convenient. Wrap your long hair into an up do during day; when you undo it, it will fall in great volume.
Nowadays, there are many easy to carry purse-sized curling irons and setting tools. Use them for quick touchups.
