Textured hair: products and inspirations to give your hair more personality

Have you noticed how some hairstyles stop in some people’s hair while in others, they don’t even get angry? This is largely due to the texture of the wires, which can be thick, thin, rough, smooth, among other characteristics that, together, end up dictating the look of our hair, making them more or less voluminous, easy or not untangle and even more or less wavy or curly.

Well then! Thinking about it, in recent times, several products – called texturizers – have been developed precisely to change this characteristic of the wires, making them easier to handle and shape, according to our preference. And the coolest thing is that, in addition to solving certain problems, such as the lack of volume at the root and the difficulty of fixing hairstyles, many of these products still help to achieve the famous “I woke up now” look. You know that calculatedly messy look? Himself!

So, if you want to change the look of your hair to make a hairstyle or just to get ready in a quick and practical way in everyday life, check out some product tips and inspirations to help you in the endeavor.

10 highly recommended products to texturize your hair

Although all products that change the texture of the hair fall into the same category of texturizers, the specific product for your locks will depend on your needs and the result you want to achieve.

Among the main options available on the market are: salt spray, aimed at those who want to give their hair an extra wave and achieve the famous beach hair; the dry shampoo, which gives volume to the roots and makes the strands rougher, causing them to stop in the hairstyles; the texturizing powder, ideal for thickening and giving a messy look to the thinnest strands; and the texturizing and styling mousses, creams and sprays, which help to thicken the hair and maintain the desired shape.

Here are some of the influencers’ favorite texturizing products:

Where to buy

1. Perfectly (Un)arranged Tresemmé Spray, at Americanas

“The texture is liquid, the smell is very pleasant and it is colorless, so it does not interfere with the pigmentation of the wires. I really like the result, I think it looks really nice, especially now that my hair is shorter and I’m not using a brush and hairdryer anymore. My hair is pure power!” – Ju, from Juro Valendo

2. Small Takk styling cream, by Tigi Bed Head, at Drogaria São Paulo store

“Joined the favorites list for sure! Its texture is very different from anything I’ve ever seen, the smell is of sweet pineapple, very tasty, and the result it leaves on the hair is really very good!” – Petite Vanidades

3. Lee Stafford Volumizing Double Blow Mousse at Beauty Box

“It’s for those who want volume in their hair, whether it’s straight or wavy. You must apply it before drying (I dry it with my head down) and go through it with your fingers, no brush. The volume is incredible! But the hair is not ‘set up’ because the mousse gives a great model, it will stay the way you want it, but with volume.” – Juliana Sena

4. Yenzah Amo Sol Texturizing Spray, at Ikesaki

“The difference between the Yenzah Amo Sol line spray and the others is that, while some leave the hair dry and hard – as if it were really sea water –, the Yenzah spray already does the opposite, leaves it silky and helps to nourish even more on account of coconut oil! And seriously, the hair looks so wonderful and natural, I don’t even know what to say… I just know how to love!” – Juliana Motta

5. Dust it Flex mattifying and texturizing powder, by Osis, at Americanas

“The powder adds texture to the hair and makes it less slippery, which can be really nice to hold buns, braids and tails with more volume.” – Sabrina Olivetti

6. Surf Breeze by Beauty Box

“I loved it, I think it gives extra hold for wavy hair or curling iron without leaving the hair stiff, looking like hairspray (which I hate) – but for that you have to apply it little by little and feel the texture of the hair, because if you apply too much it gets kind of hard.” – Diva stuff

7. Natura Plant styling texturizing spray, by Natura

“Usually when styling my hair with a curling iron, the wavy or curly effect fades throughout the day. When I use the spray during the process, the curls last much longer.” – Marina Smith

8. Puro Luxo texturizing hair pomade by Feito Brasil

“One of the great positives of this ointment is that it has what professionals in the area call “memory”, that is, it thickens the strands without stiffening them too much, making it possible to reshape the hair even after finishing the hairstyle. This is especially interesting for short hair, as it is enough to ‘carefully mess up’ the strands and voilà, a new hair style appears throughout the day.” – Karina Viega

9. Original Batiste Dry Shampoo, at Época Cosmetics
10. Volumizing Powder Volume is Everything, by Quem Disse Berenice

A valuable tip for those who want to bet on texturizers is to always follow the manufacturer’s guidance or people who have already used the product when applying. That’s because the amount, form and timing of application change a lot from one product to another, and going the wrong way can compromise the final production a lot.
