Ever wonder why blonde hair seems to hold styles so much better? It all comes down to hair science!
✨
When you lighten hair, it slightly roughs up the cuticle, which gives it incredible texture and grip. This makes it so much easier to hold a curl, build volume, and craft detailed, full up-dos.
On the flip side, super smooth, shiny, and healthy virgin hair has very little friction. The strands just want to slip and slide past each other! Without the right products and heat styling techniques, it can stay limp and make it almost impossible to build that lived-in texture.
But don’t worry! You don’t have to be blonde to get the look! Using the right texturizing sprays, grip powders, and prep products can give any hair type that perfect, workable texture.
