Especially at the ends. As far as styling products go, the end result and desired look should always determine the styling product that you choose. I strongly encourage people to sample. Take adavantage of companies that offer sampling opportunities to find the right product. As a general rule, gels are best for coarse hair.
Sprays are ideal for finer hair.
Use less product on fine hair. Always apply product from the ends of the hair up. Second, it helps to prevent people from applying to much at the root where hair tends to become weighed down, causing the whole look to slump. Third, it helps to prevent frizz and loosen tangles before you brush your hair. If you use a mousse for volume, apply it only at the root and new growth and blow dry this part of the hair seperately before you add a gel to the rest of the hair.
