To fix hair that has too much hairspray, simply use a small amount of water to break down the product.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
The key to fixing hair that's overloaded with hairspray is to gently break down the product without completely re-wetting your hair. This allows you to restyle or soften the hold without starting from scratch.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Lightly Mist with Water: Use a spray bottle to lightly mist your hair with water. The goal isn't to soak your hair, but to dampen it enough to loosen the hairspray's grip.
- Work the Water Through: Gently work the water through your hair with your fingers. Avoid rough motions that could create frizz. Focus on distributing the moisture evenly, targeting the areas with the most product buildup.
- Restyle or Soften: Once the hairspray has been loosened, you can restyle your hair as desired. If you simply want to soften the hold, gently scrunch or manipulate your hair to break up any stiffness.
- Dry (if needed): If you've added too much water, use a diffuser on a low setting or allow your hair to air dry. Avoid using a brush or comb on wet hair, as this can cause breakage.
This method effectively breaks down the hairspray, allowing for restyling or a more natural look without the need to completely wash your hair.
