Hair Styling Secrets You Need to Know
Professional stylists create stunning looks not just with their skills but also with their knowledge of products and techniques. The good news? You can replicate their results at home by following these 10 expert tips. Salon Shelf has all the tools and products you need to style your hair like a pro.
1. Start with the Right Shampoo
Great styling begins with healthy, clean hair. The Moroccanoil Moisture Repair Shampoo is perfect for restoring elasticity and shine while preparing your hair for heat styling. Follow up with the Moroccanoil Moisture Repair Conditioner for hydration and manageability.
2. Always Use Heat Protection
Heat tools can cause irreparable damage if not used correctly. A heat protectant like L’Oréal Professionnel Serie Expert Vitamino 10-in-1 Spray is essential. This multi-purpose spray adds shine, smooths flyaways, and defends against heat damage up to 230°C.
3. Invest in High-Quality Tools
Professional-grade tools deliver better results while minimising damage. The Diva Atmos Dry + Style combines cutting-edge airflow technology with multiple heat settings, making it a must-have for versatile styling.
4. Master the Art of Sectioning
For precision styling, divide your hair into sections. When curling, start at the bottom and work upwards. Use the Diva Atmos Curl for smooth, long-lasting curls without tangles or uneven heating.
5. Finish with a Shine Enhancer
The difference between a good style and a great one is the finish. Use Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray to lock in your look while maintaining a natural, touchable texture. For added gloss, apply a light mist of Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine.
6. Refresh Between Washes
Dry shampoo is your best friend for extending styles and adding texture. Try Batiste Dry Shampoo for an instant lift and oil control, perfect for refreshing your hair after a long day.
7. Add Volume Where It Counts
Volume starts at the roots. The L’Oréal Tecni Art Volume Lift Spray is specifically designed to add height and body to your style without leaving a sticky residue.
8. Know When Less Is More
Avoid overloading your hair with too much product. A pea-sized amount of Moroccanoil Treatment Original is enough to add shine and tame frizz without weighing your hair down.
9. Protect Your Style Overnight
To maintain your look, sleep on a silk pillowcase. It reduces friction, prevents frizz, and prolongs the life of your style.
10. Use the Cool Shot Setting
Finish every blow-dry with a burst of cool air. The Diva Atmos Dry + Style has an integrated cool shot feature that sets your style while sealing the cuticle for added shine
