Hair styling products are a necessity for any hairstyle. Both men and women can use these products to give their hair volume, shine and hold. Professional stylists use these products daily to create different styles with hair. They are also available in the form of sprays, gels, and mousses, which may help hold the style all day long without making one’s hair feel sticky or stiff. Hair styling products may be used on wet or dry hair. The use of styling products varies according to the individual's needs. For example, curly or wavy hair will need more moisture than straight or fine hair. Hair styling products are available at most beauty supply stores and department stores. Before using any kind of product on the hair, one must check the label carefully to ensure it's right. Some people have allergies or sensitivities to certain ingredients, while others may have difficulty with certain products containing alcohol or petroleum byproducts. However, choosing a product can be confusing because there are so many options.

1 - Waxes

Waxes are a great way to add texture and hold to the hairstyle. They also work on any hair type and can be used for various styles. They come in many different types, including hard and soft wax.

• Hard wax: Hard waxes are usually made from beeswax or carnauba (a plant resin), and they create the strongest hold in one’s hair. This product is ideal for people with thick or coarse hair because it will hold a person’s style all day long. One can also use hard wax as a base under other products that someone wants to last all day.
• Soft wax: Soft waxes are made from beeswax or carnauba (a plant resin) with added oils or fats to make them easier to work with than hard waxes. This type of product is great for fine-haired people who want a stronger hold than what their natural texture provides without having too much stickiness from the product itself.

2 - Pomade

Pomade is a styling product that is most commonly used on hair, but it can also be used on facial hair. Pomade is a combination of oil and wax that creates a cream-like substance. It is usually applied to damp hair and allowed to dry naturally, but it can also be applied to dry hair and combed through with fingers after it has dried. The purpose of pomade is to provide hold while allowing the user's hair to look natural and not stiff or greasy. For this reason, if necessary, pomade should only be applied in small amounts throughout the day. When choosing a pomade, consider how heavy you want the hair to look. Choose one with more hold to have something more dramatic to last through the day. The pomade comes in different formulas depending on one’s desired effect. Some formulas are stronger than others, so choose one that best fits your needs before applying it to the hair. Some types of pomade include petroleum jelly, beeswax, lanolin, and vegetable oils such as coconut oil.

3 - Hair mousse

There are so many different types of hair mousse. If a person has very fine hair, a volumizing mousse will work well. A lightweight gel-based mousse will be a good choice if the hair is coarse and needs some control. If one has curly or wavy hair, look for products that contain silk proteins. These ingredients will help smooth out the cuticle of each strand and make the curls look more uniform and defined. For straightening or smoothing out frizziness in naturally curly or wavy hair, look for products that use silicone as their primary ingredient because they coat each strand with a protective layer and help keep moisture inside the cuticle. This keeps frizz at bay and protects against damage caused by heat-styling tools like flat irons and curling irons.

4 - Hair serum

Hair serum is a lotion applied to the hair after shampooing and conditioning. It helps to add shine and manageability to the hair while making it more flexible and less prone to breakage. Hair serums suit all hair types, including curly or straight, thick or fine. Products containing silicone and mineral oil are heavy and can weigh down the hair. Products containing natural oils such as olive oil and coconut oil are lighter than other hair serums but still provide some shine. Some products contain both silicone and natural oils, which work together to provide a combination of shine and conditioning properties. The best time to apply them is after washing the hair so that the cuticle layer of the hair is open and ready for the conditioning effects of the product.
