When applying hairspray to give root lift, spray hairspray onto a vent brush and brush through roots, lifting as you do it. This will add volume without using extensive amounts of spray and leaving hair feeling hard and sticky.
When using mousse apply to wet hair, comb through to desired effect and leave to dry (hair will feel hard) When dry you can then brush or comb through and hair will feel soft again but will have a nice hold. Paul Mitchell Sculpting Foam is a perfect product for people who don’t like a product feel. You can also revitalise mousse before washing again by wetting hair and styling as desired.
