Finishing Strong: How To Choose The Best Product For You

Ever fall flat? Don’t let your look wilt before your day ends! Finishing products aren’t something to pass on but it can be overwhelming to choose the right thing that’ll work for you. 

 

Even if you’re using a great tool like our cordless curling wand to style, sometimes you need a little help!

 

Check our roundup of our favourite finishing products for different hair types, different hair textures–fine, medium or thick–and environments!

 

What to use: creams

 

Have some baby hairs or flyaways that just won’t quit? Try taming them with our mini detangling brush and a light cream! The lightweight consistency is perfect for slight hairs like these or for those with fine hair!

 

We like Ouai finishing crème available at Sephora US and Sephora Canada.

 

Looking for a humidity-proof cream for thick hair? Look no further than Living Proof! Its cream can keep moisture out of your hair and your frizz-free style in place to enjoy for hours!

 

We like Living Proof no frizz nourishing styling cream available at Sephora US and Sephora Canada.

 

Need a texture spray? This can be used wet or dry, has a flexible hold and is colour safe!


We like Bumble and bumble sumotech flexible cream solid available at Sephora US and Sephora Canada.

 

What to use: gels

 

Want to lock in your hairstyle and shine? This gel works well for all hair types and its firm hold helps keep difficult styles in place!

 

We like Paul Mitchell firm style super clean styling gel available at Ulta. 

 

Need a summer styling gel? This gel delivers high shine and protects hair from UV damage. And it has a pretty strong hold, to boot!

 

We like Eimi pearl styler styling gel available at Ulta.

 

What to use: sprays

 

If you’re styling with your fingers, a texture spray like a sea salt spray will work to style hair into easy waves. 

 

A good texture spray can help prep hair before heat styling and can help you retain curls if you’ve got pin straight hair. Used in tandem with our cordless curling wand and a good hairspray you’re good to go for the whole day!

 

We like Big Sexy Hair spray & stay intense hold hairspray available at Ulta.

 

Want a hairspray that works for all hair types and protect your hair from UV damage? This spray boosts shine, curbs frizz and is safe for use on extensions!

Don’t want anything weighing you down while keeping your style in place? We like this lightweight spray that adds volume and shine. Great for everyone, especially people with fine hair! 

 

We like Matrix total results high amplify flexible hold hairspray available at Ulta.

 

For summer or any other time of the year, we like a hairspray that can outlast humidity. Just style, spray and head out the door with this protective hairspray! 

 

We like Big Sexy Hair weather proof humidity resistant spray available at Ulta.
