Using Hair Spray Without Being Crunchy

I've never really heard anyone say they're really going for the sticky, crispy look with their hairstyle, but it's what a lot of people end up with anyway. How can you keep your hair from looking Kentucky fried? Here are a few simple tips to remember.

- Not all hairspray is created equal. There are scrunching hairsprays and there are holding hair sprays, anti-humidity sprays and voluminizing hair sprays. Make sure you're getting the right spray for your hair, and don't get something to create curl when you want to create a flexible hold, or an ultra-fine mist when you want extra hold.

- Realize that sometimes your hair doesn't want to be hair, it wants to be a dragon. When that happens, don't force it - go for a different style and try again tomorrow. Forcing your hair into submission by schelacking isn't really a good answer to anything. Just wear a hat.

- Hold the hair spray bottle 8-12 inches away from your hair. Spraying right next to your head makes your hair crunchy and awkwardly shiny.

- If you want volume, spray your hair from the underside and brush up. Let it dry a little and brush the top gently to avoid killing all of the bounce you just created.

- Light aeorosols are easier to use when you want a general hold all over and don't want excessive sticky spots. If you need more hold, go for a heavier aeorosol or a scrunching spray.

Knowing what you're working with, using hairspray in moderation, and being patient when it doesn't work can all create a good, professional look instead of a football helmet look.
