Hair Spray
Use on dry hair to secure curl and hold style in place. There are hundreds of hair sprays available to cover a variety of hair types and consumer wants. Molding spray makes hair stiff and holds it firmly in place. Medium strength spray holds hair without a lot of stiffness, and mild strength sprays hold hair but allows it move and look natural. In addition to keeping your hair in place, some hair sprays offer other benefits like added shine and SPF protection.
Henna
Derived from the henna plant, a vegetable dye made from its leaves and stems into a powder. Traditionally, it imparts a reddish cast to the hair by coating it. Clear henna enhances shine. Henna cannot be dyed over since it coats the outer hair shaft, affecting the penetration of the chemical colorant.
Humectant
A high-shine product that draws moisture from the air to moisturize the hair, humectant is especially effective in dry climates and on naturally curly or permed hair.
Medulla
Inner layer of the hair (missing from fine hair) that hair is thought to be the supporting structure of the hair
Molding Mud
Molding mud is a thick and heavy product that can be used to control or define small areas like curls or spikes.
