"Hi, my name is Lauren on behalf of Expert Village. I'm here to discuss short curly locks with you. Many women have multiple products in their bathroom and they use them not knowing what exactly which products to use. For somebody like Heather with fine hair, you're going to want to use light whole products beginning in order to get your hair to stay and stay throughout the entire day. I recommend using a mousse in order to create volume as you blow your hair out. Mousses are light weight. If you were to look at it on a scale of products, mousses would be your lightest hold and then there would come creams and your gels which are your heaviest hold. People with courser hair are going to want to go for more of your gels so that way it maintains the hair weights down the hair a little bit more so it prevents frizz and creates smoothness and also it separates the hair a little bit easier. Another product that you're going to want to use after you are finished your blowout are different palm aides, waxes, creams in order to create separation keep your hair exactly the way it should be. Heather her hair is fine, It's going to want to use something for a light hold some of your waxes tend to fall a little bit heavier on fine hair. I recommend she would go with a little bit of a fiber cream which has little threads in it. It almost acts like a hairspray but without all the alcohol in the product. She's going to want to maintain her style especially with curly hair cause her hair is naturally very straight. She's going to want to really get something that is going to hold, hairsprays are also a good way to get your style to last throughout the entire day. The course of your hair is the heavier the spray, you're going to want to use for Heather. We can use something that is a little bit lighter weight cause it still will get a nice hold yet it would not weight her hair down which in the end it will make her hair fall as the day goes on."
