The Truth About Pre Styling Hair Products - Thesalonguy

What is going on YouTube? Stephen, a salon guy here, and I had to make this video. Let'S talk about freestylers now, I'm not gon na be salty Stephen. Today, I promise, but I want to share with you my experience as a professional stylist, of what my take on actual pre stylers arcs. I think a lot of people are very confused by a bunch of information floating around on YouTube from non professionals and not to take away from anyone who's, not a hairstylist, because there are a lot of people who actually do have some good information based on their Own experiences, but I want to share with you some of my experiences from a stylist that you kind of understand my perspective of what an actual pre styler is because I'm seeing a lot of people using actual real styling products as pre stylers and I'm like. Oh, my gosh, this whole term free styling, has been driving me crazy. So what is an actual pre styler? Okay: here's an example of a pre styler, my 25 spray, anything that is designed to prep the hair, whether it's prepping it for volume, whether it's prepping it or helping it, be smooth out like something like sleek, which is my argan oil, smoothing serum or say, for Example, maybe you know tidal wave something that has a specific task. It'S supposed to do or a specific goal, or characteristic to that's helping design the shape of the style or has a specific type of solution to a problem like your hair is very, very frizzy or it's super dry. That is a pre styler. Okay, something that you're using to support the end result. That'S it that's simple! So, for example, with a smoothing, serum or sleek. What you want to do is if you're blow-drying your hair and your hair is really really frizzy every time you blow dry it well guess what you need a priest I'll or like a smoothing serum, because you put it in it's used to smooth the hair out. It'S through the tame frizz, then you go in and use a regular styling product like clutch or free game or any sort of styling product to finish off the style. That'S it 25 spray. Again, if you want a little volume, if you want to tame some frizz, if you want to add some condition to your hair, it's really really dry you're, going to apply products that are helping or that have a solution. Okay, because that it's what's getting me concerned, is that so many people are talking about using post styling products as pre stylers and I'm like you know what, like you, can someone products you can use as priests out and it's great, but you know they're designed for Regular styling, you know, I mean they're, not really helping a solution when the hair is wet. That'S why you never see me using my own styling products as priests, others, because that's not what they're designed to do so after you have the hair completely dried from using something that's gon na support that look, which is an actual pre styler. Then you go in with like a clutch or anything to finish off that style. So that's pretty much it you know. Is it wrong if you're using styling products as a freestyler, I mean no, it's not the end of the world, but you know from a professional standpoint if I'm working on an actual client - and I want to achieve a certain look - I'm gon na break it down From when the hair is wet, what am I gon na put in that hair to support that end result, and then how am I going to lock in that end result so think of it as different phases right and you guys that are consumers and regular clients Think of it as different phases of the styling process. Okay, your hair's wet. What does my end result want to look like what kind of style do I want? Okay, what could I use to support that, or what can I use to make my hair look as best as it possibly can, so it's ready to be finished off by the styling product? Okay, so it's like three different phases and if you're a stylist or you're, you know in beauty, school or something and you're you're, trying to figure out what this all means. It'S the same exact thing except you're, the one who's doing it and you're prepping. That hair and getting it ready. So if your hair is very fine or you're looking for extra volume, that's where a mousse comes in, like pre style, there may be a tidal wave getting that volume from the pre styling and the blow-drying, and then you finish it.
