- 1. Preparation: Complete your styling routine (curling, straightening, or pinning).
- 2. Shake: Shake the can vigorously before each use.
- 3. Apply: Hold the can approximately 25 to 30 centimetres (10 to 12 inches) away from dry hair.
- 4. Spray: Mist in short, even bursts over the finished style to set the look.
- 5. Layer: For an even stronger "freeze" effect, wait 30 seconds for the first layer to dry, then apply a second misting to specific sections.
- 6. Pro Tip: To create extra volume at the crown, lift sections of hair and spray directly at the root, holding the section in place for 3 seconds while the spray sets.
Will this hairspray make my hair feel sticky or crunchy?
Because Headstrong is an "intense hold" spray, it will feel firmer than a flexible spray like Fluxus. however, it is specifically formulated to dry quickly and remain touchable without the sticky, gummy residue found in cheaper alternatives.
Can I brush through my hair after using Headstrong?
While this is a "freeze-hold" spray, it is still workable. If you need to restyle, we recommend brushing through gently with a boar-bristle brush. For a spray that is specifically designed to be brushed out and restyled, you may prefer amika Fluxus.
Does this spray protect against the Canadian winter static?
Absolutely! Headstrong is excellent for sealing the hair cuticle, which helps to eliminate the static and flyaways often caused by dry, cold air and hats.
