Hair Fibres for Everyday Life: Work, Gym, Travel and Special Occasions

Hair fibres are quick and easy, which makes them simple to fit into a busy life. But different situations call for slightly different approaches. Here is how to get the best from your fibres wherever your day takes you.

For work

  • Add fibres as the last step of your morning routine, once your hair is dry and styled.
  • Use thin layers and a light mist of hold spray so they stay put through meetings and the commute.
  • Check in daylight before you leave, as office lighting can look different.
  • Keep a small comb at your desk for a quick tidy-up.

For the gym and sport

  • Apply after exercise, not before. Sweat can make fibres clump or run, and they are not designed to withstand heavy sweating or swimming.
  • Shower and wash your hair first, then dry, style and apply.
  • If you need to apply beforehand, use a thin layer and a firm hold spray, and blot sweat gently rather than wiping.

For travel and holidays

  • Check the rules for powders and sprays in hand luggage with your airline.
  • Pack your fibres in a sealed bag inside a hard case to stop them from leaking.
  • Bring a hold spray and a small comb.
  • Plan for the weather. Humidity, wind and rain all affect fibres, so a hat or umbrella can come in handy.
  • Avoid applying before swimming. Apply afterwards, once your hair is dry.

For weddings, parties and special occasions

  • Do a practice run a few days before, so you know how much to use and how it looks in photos.
  • Choose your shade in daylight.
  • Apply in thin layers and finish with hold spray for staying power.
  • Take a small comb and the bottle in case you need a quick touch-up.
  • Keep away from hugging with your head against clothes straight after applying, and let the hold spray dry first.

For hot weather

  • Use a thinner layer, since less product is needed.
  • Blot sweat gently with a tissue.
  • Reapply lightly if needed.

For cold and wet weather

  • A hat is fine once the fibres are set. Let the hold spray dry for a minute or two first.
  • Carry an umbrella, since heavy rain can wash some fibres out.

At bedtime

  • Brush your hair gently to remove loose fibres.
  • Wash your hair and scalp thoroughly at the end of the day if you prefer.
  • A dark pillowcase can hide any transfer.
