Styling products lined up
'As long as your hair looks good!' But how do you achieve that, and more importantly, with which styling product? You have wax, gel, paste, and more. In this blog, we explain the differences, what you can expect from a product, and what products Calmare offers.
Wax
Hair wax is a versatile hair product. The finish can vary greatly per product, as there are waxes with a matte finish as well as those with a very shiny finish. Hair wax products generally have a fairly strong hold and are therefore popular with many people. Hair wax is usually a reasonably dry and hard product that you use for structure, definition, and hold.
Calmare Care & Shine Wax is perfect for those looking for flexible, shiny hold and optimal hair care. Calmare Care & Shine Wax protects hair from sunlight thanks to a UV filter. In addition, aloe vera ensures that the hair is not only cared for but also gets a beautiful shine. Only a small amount, the size of a hazelnut, is needed to style the hair!
Calmare Polish is a reasonably firm wax and provides good hold. The hair stays in shape for a long time after application, gains elasticity, and gets a beautiful shine. The scent of the Polish is pleasantly fresh and contains only the very best and most sustainable ingredients.
Calmare Clay Wax is a clay-based wax and provides a natural look with a matte finish. The Clay Wax offers long-lasting hold and strong fixation with structure. This somewhat stiff and dry texture gives extra volume and makes the Clay Wax a perfect product for all hair types, but certainly also for thinner hair.
Paste
A paste is generally a bit wetter and has slightly less hold compared to a wax. This makes a paste ideal for restyling; a paste does not dry out and does not become hard in the hair. The variety in hold and shine in pastes is, just like with wax, large. A paste is very versatile and is used for definition, accentuation, and hold. Calmare's pastes are slightly shiny and suitable for classic and messy styles.
Calmare Model & Go is a slightly shiny paste, easy to apply, and perfect for contemporary hair styling. Looking for a bit of shine and flexible hold? Then this Calmare Model & Go is for you. The styling paste contains a unique formula, which gives texture, volume, and movement to the hair.
Calmare Shaper is a powerful, yet flexible product. It does not harden but gives body and volume to the hair. Thanks to additives such as carnauba wax, the hair feels thicker and the hairstyle is easily controlled. With a small amount of Shaper, the hair is easily kneaded into the desired shape. Tip: for extra volume, knead the hair. Throughout the day, the hair is easy to restyle. The Shaper gives a shiny result, lasts a long time, and is easy to wash out.
Gel
Gel is a relatively wet product compared to wax and paste. Gel dries quite hard and generally has a somewhat lower hold because the product is so wet. The faster a gel dries, the higher the hold. Calmare Gels are not only stylish but also nourishing due to additives such as almond and aloe vera.
Calmare Lagune is a favorite among Dutch hairdressers. This strong gel is very suitable for firm and edgy hairstyles. You can even easily restyle your hair after a few hours by applying a little water to it. The Lagune provides a long-lasting result and is easy to rinse out.
Calmare Setting Gel can be applied to both wet and dry hair. The gel is non-sticky and gives a light wet look. Calmare Setting Gel is ideal for any hairstyle. From long wavy styles to short modern cuts. Thanks to its mild composition, the gel is suitable for children and adults with sensitive scalps.
Volumizing powder
A volumizing powder is unique in itself and cannot be classified into a product category, but it is certainly worth mentioning in this blog. Volumizing powder or hair powder contains microfibers or microparticles that make the hair look and feel thicker and fuller. You apply the powder to the roots and immediately experience the effect.
Calmare Styling Boost is specially developed for fine and lifeless hair. Sometimes you just lack some volume or your hairstyle quickly falls flat again. The Styling Boost is a powder that visibly provides more volume and natural control. The hair gets noticeably more structure and grip. Ideal for styling your hair up or creating volume in a short cut!
In short, the choice is huge! And what one person finds pleasant to use, another might not like at all. Tastes differ, and that certainly applies to styling products.
