Hairspray – a real love-hate relationship. We’re changing that now! We have hairspray tips from the pro that will completely change your routine!

Sticky hair, white lumps and a smell that makes us want to run out of the house immediately: hairspray has a very bad reputation with many of us. Why? Good question! The styling product is the Holy Grail on the red carpet and on catwalks. Why can’t it be the same at home ?! It can! Because we asked Eren Bektas, hair expert at L’Oréal Paris, for his best tips.

Everyday styling with hairspray

For stylists like Eren Bektas, who work with styling products every day, one thing is very clear: “Hairspray is used to style the most beautiful hairstyles, whether on the set or on the red carpet. Woman or man – a hairspray is indispensable for the right occasion and the right hairstyle . Success here depends on the correct dosage and the quality of the spray. ” He himself can, for example, on that Elnett hairspray from L’Oréal Paris do not waive. Incidentally, the cult hairspray Elnett is turning 60 this year.

Of course we know that the hairstyle has to be right on the red carpet or on stage. Come what may. But in everyday life, hairspray should be one thing above all else – practical. We don’t want concrete hairstyles. That’s why Eren Bektas advises us:

Spray from a distance of 15 to 20 cm, more in the roots and medium lengths. Only spray the lengths and tips with a touch or let them out – depending on the hairstyle! The dosage depends on the style and hair, everyone should find that out for themselves.

But don’t worry: if you choose a very fine hairspray, you can usually easily comb it out and style your hair again. Hair lacquer would be a bit more difficult here, for example. And this is exactly how you can recognize a good hairspray. In addition, it shouldn’t take away the shine from the hair or weigh it down. That should be there, right ?!

If you don’t want to fix your hair at all, but just want to tame flying hairs, Eren Bektas has another ultimate tip:

Put some hairspray on a large powder brush and apply it to any protruding hair. The hairstyle is perfectly preserved and the fine hairs can no longer be seen.

Why didn’t we do this before? Sounds a lot easier than we always thought. We should all give hairspray a second chance because obviously we just haven’t used it properly yet …
