Although Kao is not a professional hair styling company, it has developed good products by relying on its mature chemical technology and production strength.
The popular casual style and the increasingly sophisticated perm technology have left many styling products out in the cold, but compared to gels, hair waxes and other products, the setting spray reduces stickiness, has a lightweight and long-lasting effect, and is easy to use, so it is still the most popular styling product. Kao's setting spray series, called Cape, is designed for women between the ages of 11 and 30, and the products are distinguished by packaging colors and text labels.
Unlike Tigi, Kao Setting Spray focuses on a natural fluffy feel. The moisture in human hair only accounts for 5%~10%, if the external environment is humid, too much moisture will make the cuticle open, become rough and uneven, and it is easy to increase the weight of the hair to make it flat and shapeless. Kao's setting spray not only has a low water content and is lightweight to form a film, but also contains moisturizing ingredients such as polyols and lactic acid.
Kao Blue Waterproof and Windproof Styling Spray has been recommended by COSME Awards for its medium-to-high holding power, making it ideal for styling hair after styling with a curling iron. Purple is the strongest styling style, a good ratio of acrylic polymer makes the film relatively hard, moisture-resistant and non-sticky, even in humid weather can better maintain the fluffy feeling of hair, in addition to the overall styling, it is also very suitable for styling air bangs, which is called "iron bangs artifact" by users, but the hair is stiff after styling, which may not be natural enough.
In addition to the most popular blue and purple models, the black models also have a strong holding power. The black spray has some stickiness and is suitable for smoothing out fragile hair and creating a flattering hairstyle. The other styles of the setting spray have a more natural setting force, with the pink version having the lowest film forming content and the weakest setting power.
Kao's setting sprays are divided into slightly scented and unscented models, but the pink model is only slightly scented, and the fragrance is more fresh and natural. Kao spray uses ethanol as the main solvent, so the fragrance-free version can smell a slight alcoholic smell. The four packages of powder, blue, green and purple are available in three sizes: 180/50/27ml, and the other are available in 140/42ml. At present, Kao spray needs to be purchased through overseas shopping or purchasing agents.
