Inspired during photo shoots where it's essential to make hair shine without leaving it greasy and unworkable in the process, this versatile, high sheen styling products offers endless shimmer and polished elegance.
 

Hair powders add sexy va-va volume, extends the life of a blow-dry by absorbing excess oil and provide a dry texture that keeps pins and clips from slipping (so styles stay put). The shades enhance or shift hair color - these fantastic (and fun) forms of temporary color can be used to blend away roots between color appointments. Color: White, Blondish, Red, Brown, Black
 

Styling Lotion makes working with delicate or fine hair less risky. It is light, both in terms of hold and weight, and it makes hair less vulnerable by lubricating, detangling, and gradually strengthening. Consider Styling Lotion a multi-talented mist or as Thickening Spray's less-controlling sister; a gentle starting lotion for the uninitiated or naturalist
 

The name we gave this setting spray (one of our very first products) thrilled our many clients with body issues who never felt their hair was thick enough (they never thought they were thin enough or rich enough, either). While there's no doubt that Thickening Spray helps truly fine hair achieve styling lift-off, it also works wonders with virtually any type - thick, thin or otherwise. Used with a blow-dryer, curling or crimping tongs, rollers and pins, needle and thread, tissue, staples, whatever stylists dream up - the sky is the limit.
 

It's our answer to the gels and mousses that flooded the market in the late 1980s, around the time when it was conceived. It's neither a gel nor a mousse, yet works a lot like both. Styling Creme is a setting medium that works well for many hair types, holding fairly firmly and giving extra texture. People with curly hair love it for definition; it's great for thick, heavy hair when blow-drying, and for combing through short styles that dry naturally (also contains a UV filter). 

Grooming Creme was born when one of our Editorial Stylists began blending unlikely concoctions of hand and body lotions for use on hair at fashion shows. These experiments resulted in this sublime blend of oils suspended in a silky creme that is the essence of simple elegance.

Grooming Creme is an excellent choice for men as well: a bit reminiscent of the hair cremes of the 1960s and appropriate for both buttoned-up and loosened-up occasions. Its moisturizing oils make it a good substitute for conditioner.
 

A trick often used on photo shoots to get hold and shine is to use waxes. Before the creation of Styling Wax, the drawback was they didn't wash out; it could take days, driving models crazy. Styling Wax is a water-soluble combination of wax and silicone that gives the kind of shiny finish usually achieved with oils, making it far less greasy than its predecessors.
 

Sumowax was arguably our most arduous birth of all and the brainchild of Laurent Philippon, Bb. Editorial Stylist and a Parisian with endless curiosity. It all started when he became enthralled with the part hairdressing played in ancient Japanese sumo wrestling rituals, where wax is melted in iron cauldrons, applied and then cooled to set glossy, black helmets of hair.
 

Sumotech is a distant, contemporary off-spring of traditional Sumowax and, like many of our styling products, a hybrid. It's not a wax, not a paste and not a creme, but in some ways all of them. In any case, it quickly became an all-time favorite with both men and women. 
 

In typical grass-is-always-greener fashion, naturally curly women often wish they had anything but.

So we came out Straight away with a win-win solution. A blend of no fewer than five types of silicones, it makes short work of the curliest client, and properly coached in the art of the blow-dry, sends them home with a valuable tool.
 

For those who find Does It All a bit too subtle, Classic Hairspray is tailor-made for today's interpretations of yesteryear's bouffants, laquered updos and curly confections with a modern softness that brushes out like a breeze.
 

It's the ultimate working spray that is less about hold than subtle degrees of control and natural movement. It helps hair respond to heat tools (while protecting it) and gives the necessary 'grip' for back-combing, pinning up or curling. It builds volume, leaves a very touchable finish and is virtually impossible to overuse.
 

Holding Spray offers fairly firm yet flexible, workable control, whether misting a finished style and taming strays or saturating hair before applying hot irons and tongs to hold shape. In either case it's a great all-around styling tool with lasting hold that brushes through without a struggle.
 

Salt water is no secret to editorial stylists for adding volume and texture, and anyone who has been in the ocean knows it too - that salty, sexy, sun-dried, wind-styled feel (that seems such a shame to wash out). So while we haven't exactly bottled the real thing, we've replicated (and in some ways improved) it, including Seaweed and Kelp Extracts to enhance moisture.
