Hairspray is our favorite styling product of all time. Overdoing it, however, can leave you with crunchy, sticky strands. If you can't imagine kicking your daily hairspray habit to the curb, a clarifying shampoo like Redken Clean Maniac Hair Cleansing Cream Clarifying Shampoo is a must to give your strands a deep clean feel. This specialized shampoo purifies and clarifies to remove copper, iron, hard water materials, and styling product build-up.

If sleek, shiny hair is more your vibe, a heat protectant alone won’t give you the look you’re craving. After you’ve applied a heat protectant like Kérastase L’incroyable Blowdry Hair Lotion, follow up with a few drops of shine serum like Kérastase L’Huile Original Hair Oil before or after you style. This combo will protect your strands from damaging heat styling while also adding shine and controlling frizz.

If you need to refresh your second-day hair while giving it a bit of style, dry shampoo and hairspray is a match made in heaven. Dry shampoo works to absorb oil while hairspray can add a bit of grit and hold to flat, limp strands.

Looking for formulas to add to your routine? We love Redken’s Deep Clean Dry Shampoo and Triple Dry 15 Dry Texture Finishing Spray. The dry shampoo removes heavy oil for refreshed, clean-feeling hair while the texturizing spray creates effortless, beachy texture.
