What is styling foam and what is it?

First, let’s figure out what it is.

Foam happens various types of fixation, which are always indicated on the package verbally and in numbers from 1 to 5: from the lightest to the strongest.

So, the foam envelops the hair, making its structure more pliable and reducing its tendency to electrify. This greatly facilitates many manipulations with the hair.

1. Giving hair texture with hair foam

Owners curly and wavy hair sometimes they complain that their curls lack elasticity and a clear shape, and their hair is often “fluffy”. However, not all of them know that hair foam is a great way to make curls manageable and even more beautiful.

Regardless of the thickness and density of your hair, choose a foam with an easy degree of fixationso that the hair does not become heavy.

The secret is to apply the product to slightly damp hair after washing it:

• Spread a medium amount of foam evenly over the strands.
• Then lightly “curl” the hair with your hands, placing the ends in your palms and heading up.
• Repeat this movement several times during all natural hair drying. You do not need to reapply the foam.

This method works even better if you dry your hair with a hairdryer with a special nozzle – diffuser… Then the curls will be the most elastic and retain their excellent shape for a long time.

Usually, such manipulations with hair are aimed at adding volume to the hair: they are, as it were, “lifted from the roots.” If you do not treat your hair with foam, this volume will quickly evaporate.

4. Increasing the resistance of curls will help to achieve a foam for hair styling

• Experienced hairdressers often recommend to their clients wash your hair at least 12 hours before the meeting with them, so that by the time of the process the hair is less electrified and more manageable.
• Some stylists also recommend that you dry your hair naturally. applying hair foam on them…
