This is a more expensive texturising spray, but it is one of the best. It's perfect for fine hair that tends to fall flat and needs a boost.
Some salt sprays can be drying and leave hair feeling sticky, but thanks to propolis and castor oil, this formula helpfully keeps hair soft and shiny.
This creamy, flexible pomade is great for scrunching through lengths for a tousled effect, exactly like Bieber's. Plus, you can also use it to smooth flyaways in a sleek bun.
Unlike other oils, this one is light, thin, and dry in texture, as opposed to thick and greasy. It helps to soften coarse texture and repair broken strands, but won't weight your hair down in the process.
If you've recently chopped off your locks then dry, fluffy tips and split ends are probably a thing of your past—for now. To prevent them from reoccuring, use a nourishing hair mask (like this one) on a weekly basis.
One thing that hasn't changed about Bieber's hair is how healthy and shiny it appears. This fine mist will add an instant glass-like sheen to your bob—essential for the 'cool girl' look.
One of the best things about short hair? You can set down your hairdryer, because your hair is about to dry (naturally) a whole lot quicker. This lightweight cream helps it to do so without frizz and flyaways developing.
To keep the ends of your bob sleek and choppy, like Bieber's, run a little of this smoothing cream through the tips. Frizz and fluffiness is quelled instantly.
