Do Hair Spray Have Side Effects?
It's good that you know what you are getting yourself into before you begin. Luckily, it's difficult to say all hair sprays have side effects. Some years ago before recent advancements, hair sprays were known for containing harmful substances that can trigger hair loss and cause common skin and hair issues such as scalp irritation and dry, brittle hair. Now, if applied correctly, most hairsprays are harmless. But with frequent use, it can leave residues on the scalp causing dryness or even modify your hair color in some way. Always go for lighter hair sprays, for example, GK Hair Lock Me Color Masque is great for protecting your color-treated hair from needing more or often reapplication. Finally, with regular wash using a clarifying and lightweight shampoo like GK Hair Moisturizing Shampoo formulated for daily use, you would be keeping your hair in health.
Common Mistakes to Avoid When Using Hair Spray
By now, you're probably wondering what mistakes you may have been making with your hair spray. While the benefits of the hair spray are unmatched, you could still be making avoidable mistakes. Here are a few of them to be wary of:
Using Too Much
For the best hair spray frequency, the rule of thumb is to apply a few spritz on even part of your hair. You may think applying in large quantities will serve a great hold, it doesn't. You do not need to apply too much to hold your hair in style.
Applying Hair Spray Too Frequently
The hair spray isn't like our moisturizing conditioner that can be applied throughout the day. If you constantly apply hair spray, products build up and then expose your scalp to irritation. The thing is, you may not easily notice that products are building up in your scalp and hair. Go for mild application or use alternatives.
Applying From a Distance
You do not want the stiffness or a crunchy texture that comes from applying too far away. Instead, hold the spray bottle from a distance 20-30cm (8-12 inches) away.
Combing Through Sprayed Hair
If you decide to use a hair spray, then you should detangle your hair first. Detangling with a quality moisturizer will smoothen out knots or tangles. Do away with small-tooth combs as they do not help. Go for a wide-tooth comb to ease the detangling process. Afterwards, you are ready for a hair spray. With this method, you will not experience split ends and breakage that may occur from combing sprayed hair. If you are unsure of what to use, try GK Hair Leave-In Conditioner Spray—perfect for nourishing and styling hair.
Proper Way of Using the Hair Spray
There's no one-size-fits-all method of using hair spray. Not especially when hair sprays differ in composition and what they are meant for. Those intended for color treated hair would have instructions to suit its purpose. Look out for hair growth sprays like GK Hair VolumizeHer Spray, if you need your hair to add volume, length and shine. As a rule of thumb, it is imperative to go through manufacturer's instructions before application. Regardless, here are general tips to using the hair spray:
Clean and free nozzle from products. There's every tendency to be in a rush while using hair sprays since they are finishing products, that you forget to clean them up for the next usage. Be sure to clean nozzles properly.
Dry your hair with a GK Hair Feather Light Blow Dryer. This is a two-in-one functional styler and dryer which makes it a unique choice.
Hold the spray within 20-30cm distance from your hair. You do not want to weigh your hair down with the hair spray.
Protect your eyes from products. Since they are liquid and in spray bottles, it's very possible that products can get into eyes if done without utmost care.
Spray in short bursts along the edges rather than one long, heavy press. It's true that you do not have the whole day to spray your hair. Be more patient with the process; apply in short and meaningful bursts.
Alternatives to Hair Spray You Can Try Out
If you would rather not use hair spray all the time, consider trying any of these alternatives
