Hair care and styling // Recommended products and advice

In this article, we’re diving into the world of hair care and styling, starting in the shower with your shampoo and conditioner, and continuing through to those final tweaks in the mirror before heading out with your freshly styled hair.

Shampoo + Conditioner

The Oway range includes hair baths, hair masks, and conditioners, with something to suit every hair type. From everyday hydration in the Frequent Use range to deep nourishment in the Rebuilding range, there’s something tailored to meet individual needs. All the ranges can be intermixed and customised, creating the perfect routine for you. These products are the first ‘building block’ in helping to create your hairstyle, so it’s important to use those best suited to your hair, scalp, and lifestyle. Your stylist will be able to advise and recommend products that meet all your needs.

Styling // Short hair

Now you’re fresh, clean, and ready for some styling tips for short, textured, or choppy styles. Reach for Oway Sea Salt Spray, which can be used on both wet and dry hair to create a separated, beachy look. Simply spritz from 10cm away, then either diffuse or rough dry your hair to create separation and movement.

Oway also offers a range of putties and pastes, including Shaping Putty, which provides medium to strong hold with a semi-matte finish. This product is perfect for adding separation and definition through the ends of your hair—try pinching the tips for a sharper style. For an even stronger, firmer hold to create more shape, try Oway Supreme Matt Paste. With no residue, this product is ideal for those who prefer a natural finish without excessive shine.

Styling // Long hair

If you have longer hair and are looking for bounce and volume, start with Oway Thermo Detangling Cloud. Spray through wet hair to help detangle and add weightless nourishment. With high thermal protection, this product is a must before using your styling tools. For added definition and body, use Oway Flux Potion on wet hair—it acts as a blow-dry aid to help create a full, bouncy finish. It’s weightless but provides a soft hold, making your bouncy blow-dry last all night.

REMEMBER // heat dries and shapes the hair, and cold sets it. Once your hair is dry but still warm, try adding velcro rollers to lift the roots. Let them cool fully before removing them. For extra oomph and volume, sprinkle Oway Volume and Texture Hair Puff into the roots and mid-lengths once the hair is dry. Massage it in, and watch your hair reach new heights. This product can also refresh your style the next day, extending the life of your blow-dry. It can also be used on shorter styles for added texture.

For a sleeker, shinier finish, try Oway Glossy Nectar. It can be used on both wet and dry hair for added shine and nourishment. Glossy Nectar also has restructuring properties, making it perfect for those with dry hair who struggle to achieve a smooth finish. Use one full pump through the mid-lengths and ends on wet hair, then half a pump on dry hair to tame any flyaways.

To embrace natural waves and curls, there are two products to help showcase your style. For softer, smoother results, Oway Curl Priming Cream moisturises, conditions, and intensely hydrates while smoothing the cuticle—ideal for softer, defined curls. Apply to wet hair before air drying or diffusing. For a shaggier, messier look, return to the Oway Sea Salt Spray—the number one hero for texture. Spritz on dry hair, then blast it with the hairdryer to break up layers and define curls.
