Discover your perfect styling partner 

Everyone knows it, a bad hair day. Your hair won’t sit the way you want, but with the right styling products, this problem is quickly solved. In this blog, we tell you the top 10 shapers to style your hair when it’s not cooperating. We also explain the difference between types of shapers and give tips for using a shaper. So with these products you can slay and your bad hair day is going away!!

 

What is a Shaper?

A shaper is a paste, cream, pomade, or wax specially developed to style and shape your hair. This type of hair product adds texture, definition, and holds the hair firmly in place without feeling too stiff or hard. Shapers are popular because they offer flexibility in styling: you can easily reposition your hair without losing its grip. While gels often give a shiny, hard finish, a shaper offers a natural look with freedom of movement.

 

What is the difference between wax, pomade, paste, and cream?

With so many different hair styling products, we understand that it can be hard to keep track of the differences. So we’ve summarized it for you, so you know exactly what suits your hairstyle best. In this blog, the different products are grouped under one umbrella term, namely ‘shaper’.

A quick summary:

Wax: Matte finish, strong hold – ideal for texture and short styles.

Pomade: Shiny finish, medium to strong hold – perfect for sleek, polished looks.

Paste: Matte/natural finish, medium hold – versatile for smooth, flexible styles.

Cream: Light shine, light hold – good for frizz control and a soft, natural look.

 

Tips for using a shaper

Want to get the most out of your shaper? Here are some handy tips:

• Use small amounts: Start with a small amount – often a fingertip is enough. Add more if needed.
• Apply on dry or slightly damp hair: Shapers often work best on dry or slightly damp hair because they grip better that way.
• Style with your hands: For a natural texture, you can use your hands to distribute the product. For a sleek look, use a comb.

 

How to choose the best shaper?

Choosing the right shaper depends on your hair type, your desired look, and the hold you want. Here are some tips:

• Hair Type: Do you have thin hair? Then choose a light shaper that adds texture without weighing it down. Thick hair often benefits from a strong shaper that holds well.
• Desired Finish: For a natural look choose a matte shaper; for a polished look a shaper with a slight shine may suit better.
• Hold level: Determine whether you need a strong, medium, or light hold. For a messy, flexible style, a medium hold is ideal, while tight hairstyles benefit from a stronger hold.

 

What can you do with a shaper?

A shaper can be used for many different occasions and hairstyles. Don’t have time to wash your hair yet? Postpone it by making a sleek bun with the help of the shaper and the Lussoni Backcomb Volume Brush. By using these products, everything stays slicked back and no baby hairs stick out anymore. 

If you have curls, a shaper is also perfect to use. By applying the product to damp hair and then styling as desired, a defined curl is created. 

But this is also a suitable product for men; all kinds of styles can be made with this product. From the spiky style, Classic side part to the Quiff. The shapers are available in different hold strengths, so there is something for everyone.
