The best texturizing spray depends entirely on your hair type and the kind of look you\u2019re after. However, those will all check a few key boxes: \u201cA good texturing spray adds texture and grip to the hair without it being sticky. Hair should be touchable and smooth rather than crunchy,\u201d says Nino, adding that it will also add volume without frizz. Let\u2019s break it down by hair type:<\/p>\n
A texture spray is the best way to achieve a tousled, \u201clived-in,\u201d piecey look without the stiffness of hairspray or the weight of some dry shampoos, explains Lordet. It works by adding volume, grip, and movement to the hair, making it easier to style while enhancing natural texture. Depending on the formula, ingredients like polymers and powders create lift and definition\u2014perfect for everything from soft waves to slick backs\u2014while humectants keep your hair hydrated for a glossy, smooth finish.<\/p>\n
It depends on your hair type and the look you\u2019re trying to achieve, says Lordet. \u201cBoth products add volume and texture, but they work differently.\u201d Mousse is ideal if you want structured volume and hold, especially for fine and limp hair, he says. Applied to damp hair before styling, it helps create body and shape that lasts\u2014think of the voluminous \u201890s blowout. Mousse also adds a ton of volume at the crown of the head, adds Nino. It\u2019s also great for defining curls as mousse enhances curl patterns without weighing hair down.<\/p>\n
Texturizing products, on the other hand, are better for dry hair when you want an \u201cundone, airy, and tousled look,\u201d says Lordet, adding that \u201cit adds grip and movement without stiffness, making it great for messy buns, waves, and effortless styles.\u201d Nino says that it\u2019s a perfect addition to your hair after using a curling iron, as it \u201cbreaks apart curls and waves into a more natural look.\u201d<\/p>\n
When Allure<\/em> tests a product, our editors look at it from every angle in an effort to best serve you. We review ingredients, scrutinize brand claims, and, when necessary, examine peer-reviewed scientific and medical studies. In addition to testing each and every product that\u2019s included in each and every review, we rely on experts who shape their fields, including dermatology, cosmetic chemistry, and medicine, to help us vet the ingredients and formulas.<\/p>\n And for our reviews of the best texturizing sprays, we enlisted the help of multiple editors, writers, contributors, cosmetic chemists, and makeup artists with a range of experience studying and using these products. Testers considered performance across four primary categories: efficacy, texture, experience, and formula. For more on what’s involved in our reporting, check out our complete reviews process and methodology page.<\/p>\n A beauty product is a personal purchase. You might be searching for a face cream to address persistent dryness or a new nail product to add to your Sunday self-care routine; you may simply be browsing around for the latest launches to hit the hair market. No matter what you seek or your individual needs and concerns, Allure<\/em> wants to ensure that you love anything we recommend in our stories. We believe that having a diverse team of writers and editors\u2014in addition to the wide range of outside testers and industry experts we regularly call upon\u2014is essential to reaching that goal.<\/p>\n After all, can we really<\/em> say a skin-care product is the \u201cbest\u201d for people over 50 if the only testers we\u2019ve solicited opinions from are folks who have yet to hit 30? Can we honestly deem a high-end diffuser worthy of your hard-earned cash if it\u2019s never been tested on curls? We\u2019re proud that our staff spans a wide range of ages, skin tones, hair textures, genders, and backgrounds, which means that we are able to fairly assess any beauty product that comes into the beauty closet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nOur staff and testers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
