Getting your hair to stay put can be a nightmare, especially if you're planning on being on the go all day or dealing with unpredictable weather conditions. If your hair is coarse, thick and short, you are well aware of how unruly and stubborn your locks can be. Instead of simply accepting it, aim to change it. Invest in the right styling products that will give you the strong, reliable hold that you require.
Hydrating Spray
If your hair has a mind of its own, get things under control with a hydrating spray that will not only soften, but give your tresses some lightweight hold, bounce and vitality. Look for a weightless spray that is infused with copolymers, which are compounds that provide hair with extended control and hold. Apart from simply ensuring that your coarse strands behave, make sure the spray consists of a moisturizing component to keep your hair healthy and radiant -- think honey, shea butter or aloe.
Foam
Give your coarse, thick and difficult locks some sexy volume and life with a styling foam. It should also defend against heat damage, a common for frequent users of hair dryers, straightening irons and hot combs. Use a volume-enhancing foam that moisturizes and promotes control and flexibility to your hair with a combination of ingredients like calming aloe vera, sunflower seed extracts, polymers and cetrimonium chloride, which not only protect hair from aggressive heat, but also deeply nourishes it.
Shine-Boosting
Coarse and thick hair has a tendency to look dull and lifeless, so change that depressing reality with a hair spray that will infuse your locks with some much-needed shine and glossiness. Try out a water-free, copolymer-based, non-sticky spray that will defend your hair against problems like flyaway hairs, frizz and flatness -- all while encouraging relentless control, hold and radiance.
Gel
For trustworthy hold for short and thick tresses, add a styling gel to your daily beauty routine. Use a rich and fortifying styling gel that will keep your coarse hair in place for hours with polymers, all while giving them shine and sexy sleekness with silicones. Since your hair is thick and short, make sure the gel won't make it feel stiff -- you want touchable strands, after all!
