Playable Texture is for anyone who restyles through the day and wants texture that doesn't weigh hair down. It suits undone, touchable looks on straight to coily hair (per KMS).

It is simple to use and works for home styling; stylists may use it as a final texturizing step before sending a client out.

The key word is playable. Many texture sprays add grit that sets in place; this one is designed to stay pliable, so the texture can be shifted, re-scrunched or reshaped later. Because each spray builds on the last, it is easy to tune the amount of texture for the style rather than overshooting.

1. Shake the can.
2. Spray into dry hair.
3. Use your hands to shape; add more sprays to build texture.
4. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame while spraying; the can contains flammable propellants.

On the plus side, texture is buildable, so it's easy to control how much you get, and the pliable finish means you can rework the style later instead of starting over. KMS describes it as weightless, which matters on hair that flattens easily.

On the downside, it is a dry-hair product and does nothing as a blow-dry base. KMS doesn't give a hold rating, so it shouldn't be expected to lock a style in place the way a hairspray does. The can holds flammable propellants and alcohol, so keep it away from heat and flame while spraying.
