After hair wax, hair creams and hair gels, hair sprays have become the popular choice for a lot of men. 

Unlike other hair styling products, sprays are easier to use and provide great results. However, like every other product, using them incorrectly can damage your hair. 

That’s the difference between hair care and hair styling products. The latter always leaves residue and has some side effects. 

Well, you need not worry because that’s exactly what we’ll talk about today. 

Here’s all that you need to know about using hair sprays correctly and how to deal with the side effects. 

How To Use Them? 

There are many different types of hair sprays out there - hair fixing sprays for holding hairstyles, dry shampoos for greasy hair, hair colouring sprays and many more. You’ll also have a choice between glossy and matte finish. Therefore, before anything else, you need to know the right fit for your hair.

The rest of the process is pretty easy. All that you need to do is shake the bottle well, place the can about 20-30 cms away from your hair and spray away. Make sure to spray from all different angles and wait for the product to dry before you touch it. Voila, your hair is fixed! 

Hair Care Tips You Must Follow 

Even though hair sprays are helpful in styling, using them frequently can damage your hair and cause hair fall. Here are some tips that you must follow to replenish the lost nourishment of your hair: 

1. Don’t Spray Too Much

A good hair spray will not require you to spray more a couple of times. That’s because the more product you use, the more it can deposit on your hair and scalp and cause several other problems (hair breakage, dandruff, etc.). This can also cause your hair to look too greasy. So make sure that you spray just enough and not over-do it.

2. Can You Leave The Product In?  

A good hair spray should not leave residue, but it’s always better to give your hair a nice cleanse the next morning. It’ll also depend on the quality of the hair spray, your hair type and how often you use it.

For oily hair, it’s important to wash it off the next day as it can cause greasiness. The dry hair types might find it easier to leave it in for another day. In any case, if you’re using it on a daily basis, you need to start washing your hair more frequently.

3. Use A Hair Mask Occasionally 

Even though hair sprays are not as damaging as gels, creams or wax, using them every other day can cause dryness and hair breakage. This is why using a hair mask occasionally is a great idea. It will protect your hair and replenish the nourishment.
