This is to give the style regular trimming and ensure that the style still holds the shape and hair textures you prefer.
Step 3 – Apply a volumizing or texturizing spray
Apply spray to your asymmetric haircut, as this can provide layers and volume to your hair. It also helps secure your haircut no matter the weather or how you move.
