Styling Techniques

Remember: Tools help to create the style; product works to enhance and keep it.

A Shampoo and Conditioner Start

Begin building hair’s style even before it’s dry. A strong foundation will create beautifully irresistible hair with a powerful hold.

Choose shampoos and conditioners based on your hair’s biggest issues. Dyed and chemically treated hair should be given special attention to ensure color doesn’t fade prematurely. See Shampoo Basics.

Cocktailing shampoo and conditioners is an effective way to treat multiple issues at once. For instance, use a clarifying shampoo to eliminate dirt and oil with a volumizing conditioner to add body and movement.

PROTECTION FROM THERMAL EFFECTS

Protect your hair from the thermal effects of styling like blow dryers and irons by misting damp hair with Nexxus HEAT PROTEXX HEAT PROTECTION STYLING SPRAY.  The spray acts as a barrier to absorb heat and prevent breakage for a smooth, frizz-free style.

Evenly Apply Prep-Styling Products

Create and control style by evenly distributing products such as mousses, gels, and hair lotions into damp hair from roots to ends. Work the styling product throughout the hair, pulling all the way through to tips. Finish by running a fine-tooth comb through hair to ensure product is evenly applied.

It’s important to use the right prep products to get the texture you’ll need to create your desired style.

Work Hair in Sections

Hair is more manageable and easier to style when divided into smaller sections. Begin with bottom layers at the nape of the neck moving upward, and then forward to the hair surrounding the face.
