What are grooming sprays for men’s hair styling?

Grooming sprays are a handy and quite versatile family of grooming products that most men can benefit from.

Some are comprised with natural ingredients like sea salt, aloe and glycerine while others include UV protectants and heavy conditioners. Some are designed as stand alone stylers while others act as a pre styling aids.


Why are grooming sprays used in men’s hair styling?

As a pre styler grooming sprays assist with the initial shaping and forming of a hairstyle. They also provide conditioning and protective attributes, ideal for the rigours and heat of blow drying when styling. As a stand alone styling aid, grooming sprays help provide natural looking movement in long hair and help to accentuate natural waves and curls in those hair types. Grooming spray is perfect whenever volume, texture and a little subtle hold is desired.


When to use grooming sprays in men’s hair styling?

Grooming spray is best utilised on damp hair after towel drying. The spray can be spritzed onto the hair and then distributed through with the hands and fingers. For detailed hairstyles the protective properties are now in place for the blow drying and further styling with additional products. For loose and natural looks the job is already done, let the hair dry off completely for light hold and a little razzle-dazzle.
