Setting Hair: Which Products Work Best?

Setting hair is most effective when each section of hair that is wrapped is given a quick dose of setting spray.

This way, you can do roller sets on dry hair. A huge plus because it means that you only wait for the product to dry, rather than an entire head of wet hair.

Much faster.

Setting hair this way also creates a softer, more natural looking curl and eliminates the obvious partings that result on the scalp when setting wet hair.

The products featured here are ideal for hair sets with velcro or rag rollers. But they're are also working hair sprays. Very effective for thermal hair setting, involving heat styling tools (i.e., hot rollers, curling irons, flat irons).
