The Best Texturizing Sprays for Effortless Volume and Definition

Below, Chase outlines his six-step process for using texturizing spray like a pro.

Step 1: Start with Dry Hair

“Texturizing spray is designed to work best on dry or mostly dry hair,” Chase says. “Freshly washed? Make sure your strands are completely dry before you begin.”

Step 2: Shake It Up

“Give the can a good shake,” Chase instructs. “This ensures the ingredients are evenly mixed so you get consistent texture with every spritz.”

Step 3: Spray from a Distance

Chase advises holding the bottle about eight to 10 inches away from the hair and spraying lightly, focusing on the mid-lengths to the ends. “That’s where you want the most movement and texture,” he says. “Avoid soaking your roots unless you’re using a spray made for volume there.”

Step 4: Work It In

“Once you’ve sprayed, use your fingers to scrunch, tousle, or twist sections of your hair,” Chase says. “This helps distribute the product and create that perfectly imperfect look.”

Step 5: Build as Needed

“Want more drama? Just layer in a bit more spray. Start light—you can always add more, but it’s harder to dial it back,” Chase says.

Step 6: Style and Go

Finally, “Let your hair do its thing!” Chase says. “Whether you’re leaving it down, throwing it into a messy ponytail, or creating soft waves with a curling iron, the spray will give your style extra hold, volume, and staying power.”
