How do you use hairspray on curly hair ?

Hairspray can be used while drying and styling your hair or after to preserve and hold your curls. Use cgm hairspray after you have used your mousse or curl gel for extra hold.

The great thing about a spray is that you can use it at any point in the drying process to. As your hair is drying if you feel like it needs a bit more hold you can spray directly on to the the hair without touching it. This means you will not add any more frizz to your hair but just add more definition.

Alternatively you can spray some spray on your hair after you have dried your hair to keep it in place

As hairsprays are dryer than mousse or gel they can reduce drying time.
