Certain hair products add texture to shorter styles and tame flyaways for others. Choosing the best hair product for one’s crowning glory can be a daunting job, considering the fact that hair differs from one to another. From hairstyle, texture, volume, and colors, hair can require meticulous care when it comes to making it look perfect and stylish. Typically, the best hair products lock in the shape and style one spends every morning working so hard on. Ideally, these ensure that the style you tried to achieve during the morning prep-time will somewhat be the same thing you will see when you’re back home. Gone are the days where hairspray leaves your hair with the same effect of cement. Modern products give texture, control and a shield against the elements like humidity and damage, without the typical crunchiness, hardness, and artificial shininess after hairspray. Below are our picks for the best finishing hair products–applicable to the everyday modern man and woman. Even if you don’t plan to use it every day, it is smart to have these products at the ready for those occasions when needed.
DEVACURL
Dedicated to men and women with curly locks, Devacurl hairspray does not leave curls crunchy compared to any other products. For both men and women, it is a favorite staple among those with textured hair. It prevents hair from frizzing and leaving a poofy finish while giving your curls bouncy hold to preserve the style you so carefully coifed in the morning.

MOROCCANOIL
Perfect for tropical countries and cities that go all out with the heat during the summer like Macau, Moroccanoil heat protectant hairspray is a must-have when the temperature goes up. Typically, hairspray comes right after a blow-drying session, this one from Moroccanoil shields each strand from heat for up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, so hair doesn’t get damaged and broken by the high-temperature gusts of your blow dryer. For a healthier and more radiant shine, it comes with argan oil to coat each strand.
