- medium
- strong
- super strong
If you have soft and thin hair, then you will have enough hair varnish with a weak fixation.
Medium varnish varnish, designed for daily styling of not very thick hair. Using such a tool, you can give volume to thin and long hair. If you have hard, non-obedient hair, then in this case the most effective lacquer is a strong fixation. It is also used for laying bangs.
