Texturising spray

A texturising spray is a light spray that adds grit and separation to hair, helping create the tousled finish common to shag haircuts. It can be applied to damp hair before drying or to dry hair for a refresh, sprayed from a distance and worked in with your fingers to avoid stiff patches. Sea-salt-style versions give a beachy matte finish and can be drying for some hair. Use sparingly.
