Using the new Design Essentials SleekPlay

Low, easy to maintain hairstyles have resurged and are as popular as ever, but short does not mean no maintenance. It is important to keep the hair and scalp clean and moisturised and to ensure conditioning follows shampooing, especially if you’ve explored the use of colour to make your short style stand out from the crowd. Edgy, carefree looks, whether straight or wavy, will benefit from definition to finish the style. For defining natural waves or spiking straight hair, the new Design Essentials Sleekplay Freestyle Sculpting & Finishing Putty is ideal for shape, hold and for sculpting spiked, textured styles while being suitable for adding definition to waves.

For creating fun, flexible thermal styles, the new Design Essentials Sleekplay Hot Style Thermal Styling Glaze comes to the rescue! This will give high shine to your hair without weighing it down, creating soft movement and style memory with a touchable hold that defines your curls, leaving a smooth finish.
