When it comes to achieving your desired hairstyle, there are only a couple of things you need to know to get it done: use the right styling products and know how to use them. Lucky for you, we are going to tackle just that in today’s post. How many times in the past have you been frustrated in your effort to re-create a hairstyle you saw on your favorite celebrity? You wanted to copy that hairstyle but it never comes out the way you want it to, or the way they look on your favorite celebrities. Sometimes, one product just isn’t enough. Learn the magic of mixing various hair styling products so you can achieve the hairstyle you want.

For Tousled Waves…

There are two key products you need to style your hair into tousled waves: texture paste and curl cream. You need a good blow dryer, too, in order to achieve the shape and waves you want. Apply the curl cream while hair is still slightly damp. Then, add the texture paste last in order to achieve definition to the waves. The curl cream helps to build the foundation so you can get defined waves while the paste will add some messiness so your curls do not look too stiff.

For Silky Straight Hair…

When styling super straight and sleek hair, you need to use both a shine cream and flexible hairspray. If you think a heat protection spray and straightener is all you need to create that sleek finish, think again. Make sure you spritz some flexible hairspray onto your locks before you run the flat iron over it. This will help to seal in the shine to your hair so it looks healthier and aglow.

For Voluminous Blowout…

To achieve a voluminous blowout, you must use a shine cream and thickening spray. Start with a shine cream when you blow dry your hair. As you move along with your styling efforts, spritz some thickening spray too. This will help to give maximum lift to your hair so you can achieve the shape and volume you want. The shine cream will give it a weightless shine so your hair looks healthy without losing its body.

For Sleek Braids…

This method will simplify the process of achieving sleek looking braids. Start by applying gel onto your wet hair and do a three-strand braid. Once you are done braiding, you can add the shine spray so that your hair will look more lustrous with the braids on.

For Ballerina Bun…

A ballerina bun is one of the most sought after hairstyles but also the most difficult to pull off. To make this hairstyle look more polished, apply a styling cream to your hair before you blow dry it. This will help you achieve lots of volume once you are done prepping up the style. Then, form your hair into a neat bun before finishing off with a medium hold hairspray. The hairspray finish will allow you to achieve more hold for the style.
