Behind the Scenes
You may already know how popular Bumble and Bumble is. They are used in about 85% of the runaway shows during New York fashion week. They are known around the world. Their top stylists and creators have been with the company for over 20 years. Here are 4 of their top ‘backstage” products and how they are used.
PREP
Prep is a foundation product. If you have very soft hair and need some texture, prep is the product for you. It creates an even canvas for your styling products filling in the holes in your hair's cuticle. It is hydrating and detangling.
THICKENING HAIRSPRAY
This multi purpose styling spray is great for achieving volume and for a soft blow dry with hold. The great thing about Bumble and Bumble products is that they are layering products, meaning that the more you use, the stronger the hold. However, if you feel you used too much product, use Prep to break it up.
SURF SPRAY
Surf Spray was created during a photo shoot where they were trying to create a beachy wave look on the model. The hairstylist was using salt water to create the look. After the shoot, they went back to the Bumble and Bumble offices and started working on Surf Spray. It’s so easy to use, after spraying Prep (or Tonic) all over your hair, follow up with Surf Spray evenly throughout the hair. You can scrunch and defuse it, or let it air dry.
BRILLIANTINE
The first product they ever made (really). Brilliantine will give you a sleek, slept-in, sexy look. You can cocktail it with other products or use it on its own. Start with a small amount and build up from there. Apply to damp hair after Prep or Tonic. Apply a small amount on dry hair after styling for more shine.
