I have
very fine hair, lots of it, but very fine. Those of you who are like me know
what comes with fine hair; the fluffiness, the fly-a-ways, the easily broken
strands that cause that breakage layer at the ponytail line are all constants
that must be dealt with regularly. As a guy I was able to avoid these burdens
for a long time, but alas I am growing my locks out again and am running into
these all too familiar problems again.
These
issues became the catalyst that began my search for a product that might combat
the fluff. I am getting more and more pressure to flaunt my locks at work, as a
stylist I should showcase my ability to be stylish, instead of hiding my mass
of fluff under an extensive collection of hats, therefore, I needed a product
that would not weigh my light and fluffy hair down, but would also control it
and keep me from looking ridiculous. A while back the salon got a few new
Session Series products from Catwalk to try, one of them being a salt spray.
Other product lines call it an ocean spray, sea salt spray, or beach spray…but
a rose is still a rose right?
This
product does a great job of making my hair feel coarse and thick, even dirty;
just as if I had spent the day swimming in the ocean. This may not sound all that good, but trust me
it is. By making the hair coarse, it is less fluffy and has less fly-a-ways. By
making it feel thick, it makes it appear fuller and more stiff so it doesn’t fall
flat and has more volume. As for the dirty…well that just means you
can still tell there is product in the hair, but I am willing to deal with that
since it makes it more of a full styled look as opposed to a dried dandelion
head in the wind. It works best if you blow dry right after spraying, and
remember this product alters the texture of the hair from smooth and flat to
course and full, and though it has a bit of a hold quality, some hair spray may
be needed once you get your hair the way you want it.
