A barber’s top coat is a staple in the world of hairstyling. It gives added texture and length to the hair being brushed onto the head. It is called a top coat because it is added to some products, like hair gel, which is placed on the hair to enhance texture.
Barbers routinely use paint or chalk dust to create top coats on their clients. Many use glossy tape or cellophane as a backing for the paint or chalk dust. The paint or chalk dust is then spread onto the head and allowed to dry before being brushed.
This process can take several hours so do not worry about looking pasted if you are still new to this style of hairstyling.

Hold and shine
As hairstyle 328 says, a hairstyle has the ability to hold shine. This comes in two ways: 1) When you sit back and relax, your hair begins to feel more comfortable and soothing with the products being applied to it, or 2) When you brush or comb your hair after applying the product, it appears more shiny.
The way to have this effect is to hold the product longer when applying it to your hair. You also must use a higher quality product than the one that is selling for cheapo hair dye. The better quality product will last longer because it is more luxurious in texture.
Another way to have hold and shine is to wake up with damp hair the next day. Brushing or washing your hair as soon as you get out of bed can result in flyaway hairs, lack of shine, and/or flattened outensity which reduces its hold and/or shine effect.
If you have very curly or thick hair, then please do not use setting sprays as they may cause your hair to look bouncy or like it set down a little bit.
Gel
Gel is a new trend in hairstyle. People are trying them out and seeing what they look like with them. They are having huge success with this new hairstyle!
The way gel is used in the hair style is as a holding solution. The gel is brushed into the hair and then pulled through slightly combed up to let it dry fully. The result is a soft, flowing look that looks wonderful on people!
As with all new trends, there are probably more mistakes when it comes to gel style hair.
Oil
Oil is one of the most common things sprayed on people’s hair. Many brands use sesame oil or coconut oil as a styling oil, which makes it easy to use.
But if you can’t find either of these oils, there are many other options. Almond oil is a popular one because of its smooth texture and versatility. It can be used straight out of the shower as a styling oil or massage oil.
Cocoa butter can be added onto hair as a styling butter or put on top of dressier hairstyles like high ponytails or loose waves. Either way, it should be used always because of its richness.
Then there are cherry and grape Papain compounds, which are often added to recipes for shampoos and cosmetic products based on hair type.
Water
When barbers sprinkle water on a client’s hair, they do so to add volume. This is important to know because barbers can have very long hair!
When barbers have long hair, they sprinkle water onto it to add volume. This is important to know because the longer the hair, the more water needed.
Barber shops typically do not use large amounts of water until around medium length hair. Small amounts of water added during comb pass or wetting the hair can give rise to more volume.
But what exactly is Water?!
To start off, Water does not exist; it is a term coined by our hairstylists. When used, it is referred to as a spray or mist made from citrus-based ingredients such as linden flower and cetearyl alcohol (a wax remover). These ingredients soften and dissipate fast when applied to the skin surface of the head. It also has anti-bacterial and antifuss properties which prevent dryness and flaking.
Odor neutralizer
Finding something that reduces hair smell is an essential part of barbering. While some things reduce skin odor, it is hard to find that without side effects.
Hair smell is strong enough that you can taste it. It also can be persistent, lasting for a few days or even weeks. This makes sure you know what your client has been wearing and how they have dressed their hair over the past week.
Some things that reduce hair smell are benzoyl peroxide, triclosan, and propolis. Because of their potency, these are not recommended for first-time barbers. Instead, they should be used in combination with another product.
Traditionally, hairdressers would use wet wipes to clean their hands and start their haircutting process. However, due to the high amount of alcohol in the wipe paper, most clients do not feel the need to wash their hair after being cut.
All of the above
All of the above foregoing statements are correct. There is no barber that does not offer you all of the above. As mentioned earlier, some do more than others, but all will give you all of the above.
As a rule, however, most offer at least shampoo and shower gel, as well as some sort of deodorant or bug spray. Some even offer cosmetics like foundation or powder blush and product over highlighter.
But before you book your next appointment with your favorite barber, make sure that he or she is offering the right things for you.
Some products contain dangerous chemicals and/oraloreic/aloe-based alternatives are rarely detected in store stocks. Others may not be budget-friendly, making you end up with less hair coverage than you wanted. And still others may not be helpful for your hair type or texture.
Nothing!
Most people have heard that coffee or coffee drinking is bad for your hair, but most people don’t know that black coffee is actually harmful.
Coffee contains caffeine, a powerful stimulant.
It depends on the type of hair spray you use
Most hairsprays are made of an oil combined with a substance that spread on to your hair. This made it stick to the platelet more strongly.
This makes it difficult for your hair to move, which is what you want it to when you are spraying it on. To get the same effect as a more forceful hairspray, use less of it dosage-wiseño
It also depends on the kind of hairstyle you want. Some examples are wigs and cut/shoulder-length hairstyles. A Barber can easily put it on in a few minutes, especially if he has some leftover product from the previous client who used it.
If not, then there are time constraints to go by! A Barber must have his or her supplies by 5:00pm or he or she will be told offño
