What's a Sealer?
An oil or water-based styling product that smooths the hair shaft and creates a smooth, pliable, protective barrier around the hair. We consider this an optional step for most hair types. Sealers are the final step in your product application, going on after all other styling products have been applied.
Sealers:
- are primarily surface-acting
- help to combat frizz
- add shine
- seal in moisture
In general, Sealers are lighter and more malleable than Definers and, because they tend to be oil-based, can provide a soft, pliable finish and no hard cast.
For some hair types, this is preferable to the rigid feel of a traditional gel and may offer the same level of frizz control and moisture retention. Take our Hair Type Quiz to learn about your hair type and find the sealer(s) we recommend for you.
