Matching Products to Your Hair Type
Ever tried to style your hair with the wrong product? It’s a bit like trying to wear shoes that are two sizes too small – painful, ineffective, and pretty much guarantees a bad day. You wouldn't slather a heavy, greasy wax on super-fine hair, just like you wouldn't expect a lightweight mist to tame a thick, rebellious mane. The real secret to unlocking a great hair day, every single day, is playing matchmaker between our products and your hair's unique personality.
This isn't about forcing your hair to be something it's not. It's about leaning into its natural texture and giving it what it needs to shine. Once you understand what your hair is thirsty for, you can build a personalised styling arsenal from our collection that makes doing your hair feel less like a chore and more like a bit of creative fun.
Let's break down exactly what from our range works for each hair type.
Fine and Straight Hair Solutions
The number one enemy of fine hair? Gravity. It’s a constant battle to get any kind of lift or body that doesn't fall flat by lunchtime. Your mission is to find products that create volume without weighing things down. This is where our Weightless Volumising Mousse is an absolute game-changer. Think of it as an airy, cloud-like foam that wraps around each strand, giving it structure and a serious boost from the root, all without a hint of stickiness.
For straight hair that’s looking a little lifeless and needs a bit of grit, our Texturising Sea Salt Spray is your new best mate. A few spritzes of this stuff, and you’ve got that effortlessly cool, just-off-the-beach wave. It gives you a light, flexible hold that encourages movement, so you get that perfectly imperfect, lived-in style.
Taming Thick and Wavy Hair
If you've got thick hair, you're blessed with incredible natural volume, but it can often feel like it has a mind of its own. Your goal is to find that sweet spot between control and smoothness. Our Smoothing Control Cream is the perfect first move. It’s designed to calm frizz and add a dose of discipline, leaving your hair feeling soft and surprisingly manageable.
Wavy hair, on the other hand, just needs a little encouragement to bring out its natural S-bend. You want something that enhances the pattern without making it heavy or greasy. Our Flexible Hold Pomade is brilliant for this. It lets you define those waves and fight off any pesky flyaways while keeping everything touchable and pliable.
The real magic happens when you find a product that works with your hair's natural tendencies. Think of it as a partnership—our products provide the support, and your hair does the showing off.
This chart breaks down how some of our most popular stylers stack up when it comes to hold and shine.
As you can see, something like a gel is going to give you that rock-solid hold, whereas a pomade dials up the shine for a slicker finish. It’s all about picking the right tool for the job from our curated selection.
Defining Curly and Coily Hair
Curls and coils are absolutely stunning, but they’re also naturally prone to dryness, which leads to the dreaded frizz. For you, hydration is everything. Our Hydrating Curl Cream was made to quench thirsty spirals. It sinks in to define each individual curl, knocking back frizz and adding a heap of bounce and shine for a lively, healthy look.
To make sure that beautiful definition sticks around, you need a product with some serious backbone. Our Maximum Hold Gel gives you all the structure you need without that stiff, crunchy feeling. It creates a protective 'cast' around your curls while they dry. Once it’s set, you just gently scrunch it out to reveal soft, perfectly formed coils that will last all day long. Finding the right hair styling products truly is the first step to falling in love with your hair.

Feeling a bit overwhelmed? No worries. We've put together this quick cheat sheet to take the guesswork out of finding your perfect product match from our range.

Meet the Stars of the Show: Your Styling Line-up
Ready to finally understand what all those bottles and tubs actually do? Let's meet the heroes that are about to completely change your hair game. This is your all-access pass to our lineup of hair styling products, where we'll pull back the curtain on what each one does and, more importantly, when to reach for it.
Think of it as being introduced to your new styling dream team. No more confusion, no more guesswork. Our virtual shelves are packed with formulas we've hand-picked to deliver incredible results, whatever your hair goals might be. Let's get to know the key players in our collection.
The Foundation: Building Hold and Structure
Every great hairstyle, just like a building, needs a solid foundation. These are the heavy lifters of the styling world, the products you call on from our store to create shape and structure that actually lasts.
First up is the classic hairspray, the trusty bodyguard for your finished look. Our collection has everything from flexible, barely-there mists that let your hair move naturally, to super-strong formulas that lock your style in place with absolute confidence. Taming a few flyaways or cementing a complex updo? We have a spray for that.
Then there’s mousse, the undisputed champion of root-lifting. If you're chasing that gravity-defying volume, this airy foam is your secret weapon. You work it into damp roots before blow-drying, and it builds incredible body and fullness without ever feeling sticky or heavy. It's the key to that salon-fresh bounce.
The Artists: Sculpting and Defining Your Look
Once your foundation is set, it's time to add some personality. This next group is all about texture, definition, and precision, giving you the artistic control to mould your hair exactly how you want it.
- Gels: For that high-shine, wet-look finish with maximum control, nothing beats our hair gels. They deliver a firm, crisp hold that’s perfect for slicked-back styles or defining sharp, edgy cuts.
- Pomades and Waxes: These are the masters of pliable styling. Our pomades offer different levels of shine and hold, brilliant for classic, polished looks. Our waxes, on the other hand, usually give you a more matte finish with a reworkable texture, perfect for creating that effortlessly piecy, "I woke up like this" vibe.
- Creams: Think of our styling creams as the smooth operators. They offer a light, touchable hold while taming frizz, adding a bit of moisture, and leaving a subtle, natural-looking finish. They're fantastic for soft, controlled styles that don't look "done".
Every product in our collection is a specialised tool. A painter chooses different brushes for different effects; a great stylist knows when to reach for a cream instead of a wax. Our goal is to give you that same professional toolkit.
It's clear people are taking their hair seriously. The demand for high-quality hair styling products has skyrocketed, showing a massive shift towards people wanting professional-grade results at home—which is exactly what our collection is designed for. You can dive deeper into market trends in this detailed report.
The Polish: Finishing Touches and Protection
The final act is all about adding that professional polish and keeping your hair safe. Our serums are your ticket to red-carpet shine, instantly smoothing the hair's cuticle to fight frizz and reflect light for a glossy, healthy look. A few drops is all it takes.
And before you even think about picking up a straightener or curling wand, our heat protectants are completely non-negotiable. These essential sprays create a barrier between your hair and high temperatures, preventing the damage and breakage that comes with heat styling. Seriously, consider it the most important first step you can take.
How to Apply Styling Products Like a Pro
Having the best hair styling products from our store is a brilliant head start, but knowing how to actually use them is the secret to unlocking their magic. Think of this as your hands-on masterclass, packed with all the insider tricks to get those salon-fresh results right in your own bathroom. It’s time to stop the guesswork and start styling with some real confidence.
Let's break it all down and show you how a few simple tweaks to your technique can completely change your hair game, making sure you get the absolute most out of every single product in our range.
The Foundation Rules of Application
Before you even pop the lid, remember these two golden rules. First, always start with less product than you think you need. Second, always apply it away from your roots (unless it’s a root-lifter, of course!). You can always add a bit more, but you can’t take it away without a full-on do-over.
Slapping product directly onto your roots is a fast track to greasy, weighed-down hair. Instead, work things like creams, pomades, and serums from our collection through your mid-lengths and ends first. Then, use whatever is left on your hands to gently smooth down any flyaways near your scalp.
Mastering Different Application Techniques
How you apply a product is just as crucial as what you're applying. The right technique is what wakes up the formula and tells it what to do. A little practice here makes a world of difference.
- For Texture and Waves: Want those perfect, beachy waves with our sea salt spray? Don’t just spritz and pray. Lightly mist it onto damp or dry hair and then get in there and scrunch upwards with your hands. This action is what coaxes your natural wave pattern out to play and gives you that awesome, piecey texture.
- For Sleekness and Shine: If you’re chasing that flawless, slicked-back style with one of our pomades or a high-shine finish with a serum, the magic word is smoothing. Rub the product between your palms to warm it up—this is key!—then glide your hands over the surface of your hair. This tames frizz in an instant and creates that polished, almost reflective finish.
The goal is to make the product work for you. It’s a bit like cooking; the same ingredients can create wildly different dishes depending on whether you chop, blend, or sauté them. Your hands are your most valuable styling tools!
The Art of Layering Products
For those more ambitious styles that need hold, volume, and shine, layering is the ultimate pro move. The trick is all in the order of operations: always go from the lightest formula to the heaviest when using products from our store.
- Start with Protection: Your first step, always, is a lightweight heat protectant on damp hair. Consider it non-negotiable. It’s your hair's personal bodyguard against the damage from blow dryers and styling wands.
- Build Your Base: Next up, apply your main styler. This could be our volumising mousse worked into the roots or a curl cream distributed through the lengths. This is what builds the fundamental shape of your style.
- Define and Finish: Once your hair is dry, it's time for the finishing touches. Use a wax, pomade, or serum to add definition, texture, and that final pop of shine. A light mist of hairspray will lock it all in place without making it feel stiff or crunchy.
Learning how to properly apply treatments can also give your hair's health a serious boost, creating a better canvas for any style you can dream up. For tips on getting the most from nourishing formulas, check out our guide on how to use RPR Rejuvenate My Hair for the best results.
Once you master these application secrets, you'll turn your daily routine into a fun, creative session that delivers stunning, long-lasting styles every single time.
So, What's Actually in Our Products?
Ever flipped a bottle over, scanned the ingredients list, and felt like you were trying to decipher a secret code? We’ve all been there. What’s inside these bottles is just as crucial as the final look, so let’s pull back the curtain and show you exactly what makes our hair styling products tick.

They're the ones working tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure your hair doesn't just look amazing, but feels genuinely healthy and strong.

The Good Stuff We Swear By
We've selected products containing nature's finest to give you that salon-fresh feeling at home. These aren't just styling aids; they're little treatments in a bottle.
- Argan Oil for Unbeatable Shine: Famously dubbed 'liquid gold', and for good reason! This stuff is a miracle worker for taming frizz and flyaways. It wraps each strand in a glossy, light-reflecting coat that never looks oily.
- Keratin for Serious Strength: Your hair is literally made of keratin, so topping it up is like giving it a protein shake. It helps patch up damage and reinforce weak spots, making your hair tougher against the daily grind and heat styling.
- Shea Butter for Deep Hydration: If your hair feels a bit parched or brittle, shea butter is the big gulp of water it’s crying out for. It's a fantastic moisturiser that melts into the hair, bringing back softness and making it so much easier to handle.
What You'll Never Find in Our Formulas
What we leave out is just as important as what we put in. We are committed to offering quality products, which means you won't find harsh chemicals that can strip your hair’s natural goodness and annoy your scalp.
Our philosophy is pretty straightforward: help you create amazing styles without sacrificing your hair's health. Every single ingredient in the products we carry is there to make sure it's doing something good for your hair, getting you closer to your goals, safely.
We are proud to stock products that say "no thanks" to nasties like sulfates, which can strip away your natural oils, and parabens. This focus on cleaner, kinder ingredients is exactly what savvy consumers are asking for. Modern style isn't just about the look—it's about using products that are sustainable, cruelty-free, and free from harsh additives. You can dive deeper into how shopper choices are changing the game in this insightful report on APAC hair care trends.

Got Styling Questions? We've Got Answers
Still scratching your head over a few styling conundrums? Fantastic. Let's bust some common hair myths together. We've pulled together the most frequent questions that land in our inbox, and we're here to give you the straight-up, no-nonsense answers so you can style with total confidence using products from our store.
Let's get into it and clear up the confusion, shall we?
Can I Actually Use More Than One Styling Product at a Time?
You bet! In fact, a little product cocktailing is the secret sauce behind most amazing hairstyles. It’s all about layering, and the trick is to apply them in the right order.
A good rule of thumb is to go from lightest to heaviest. You might start with a feather-light heat protectant spray from our collection, then work a bit of volumising mousse into the roots. Once your hair is dry, you can use a touch of texturising wax for definition and finish with a spritz of hairspray to lock it all in. The golden rule? Start with less than you think you need. You can always add more!
Help! How Do I Stop My Hair Feeling Weighed Down?
Ah, the dreaded product buildup. That heavy, dull feeling is a total style killer, but it's easy to avoid. Just remember the stylist's mantra: "less is more." When you're scooping out that pomade or spraying that texturiser, start small.
Also, introducing a good clarifying shampoo into your routine once a week is an absolute game-changer. It acts like a reset button, washing away all the residue from products, hard water, and everyday life. We have a selection of shampoos labelled 'clarifying' or 'detox'—they’ll get your hair and scalp squeaky clean and ready for a fresh start.
What's the Real Difference Between Pomade, Wax, and Gel?
Great question! It really boils down to three things: hold, shine, and how much you can mess with it later. Think of them as different tools for very different jobs, all available in our store.
- Gel: This is your go-to for a rock-solid, stiff hold. Gels give you that high-shine, 'wet' look that’s perfect for slicked-back styles that won't budge.
- Wax: Looking for texture and definition without the helmet-head? Wax is your friend. It offers a more flexible, medium hold with a matte or low-shine finish, so things look natural and touchable.
- Pomade: Pomade is the cool, versatile cousin. The water-based formulas in our range give you a flexible hold that rinses out in a flash, while oil-based types offer a stronger hold with more gloss.
We make it easy by breaking down the hold and finish on every product page, so you always know exactly what you’re getting.
One of the biggest hair battles we hear about is the fight against frizz. The right styling cream is a great weapon, but winning the war starts with your whole haircare routine. We've got you covered in our guide to achieving frizz-free hair with Matrix Mega Sleek, and it's full of tips you can start using today.
