Styling the cast of such a high-energy production requires not only a calm demeanor to manage the backstage bedlam, but also a set of products that can do a task quickly. Maybee swears by Pravana. "When you're working backstage, time and versatility are of the essence," he says. For this reason, he especially likes Super Shape Hair Spray and Finishing Mist.
"They allow me to shape, mold, spritz and spray different hair types and textures for a variety of styles that require relatively quick changes. Because the products impart such gentle hold, hair can be brushed out and restyled for the next scene, in no time flat," says Maybee. Since it's not only the actors that get a workout, but also their hair, a post-show Deep Hydrating Hair Masque is a must, as are Chroma Silk Vivids for high-impact color in pink, purple and magenta hues.
