TEXTURE TALK
My name is Grant Gibson… and I am obsessed with the texture hairspray. It is so versatile, and having a product that gives me the flexibility and creativity that I need as a stylist and educator is so key. Stylists ask me all the time, “when or where would I use it?” I totally think the question should be “when don’t I use it!?” I find this so productive on all hair types and textures. Being able to create volume as a prep product on damp hair, a dry finisher or a refresh for clients looking for voluminous results. To me, the texture hairspray is the ideal mixture of hairspray, dry shampoo and texture dust. I love brushing out styled waves with it, or applying to up-styling and braids! So many of our clients want volume, but don’t want sticky or heavy ... the texture hairspray is a modernized multi-purpose mousse. I love applying on damp hair and blow drying in for the most volume and texture without weight or a heavy residue!
It also works beautifully as a dry shampoo for clients who don’t want to shampoo but want that bounce that fresh hair brings! I definitely have a texture hairspray in my bag, all of my styling kits (my wedding kit, especially!) and I keep one in my car for those rushed morning where I need a hair pick me up (think dry shampoo with more control and volume!) So, if you didn’t know, I’m originally from Scotland and lived in London for years. I’m one of five kids and the only one to be blessed with copper hair! I love copper colour so much that my puppy matches my hair colour! Fun fact: spraying texture hairspray on your pins keeps them in all night long! And, for restyling, it brushes right back out of the hair for perfect transition into another style.
