L’Oréal Professionnel has added four new products to its Tecni.Art Collection: LissControl, Web, Morning After Dust and Super Dust.
LissControl & Web: The perfect duo to control every style! LissControl is a gel-cream hybrid that smooths, controls and adds a sleek finish. Top it off with Web, a multi-purpose design sculpting paste, to add structure or a tousled finish. This duo works on all hair types and densities. Can be used on wet, dry, styled or air dried hair. LissControl is designed to provide 24-hour anti-humidity protection. It is ideal for managing the look of unruly, frizzy or rebellious hair.
Styling Tips: For curly hair use the product on damp locks and air dry. This defines curls for a smooth finish. .Apply 1 to 2 hazelnut-size drops onto washed and towel-dried hair. Spread evenly with a comb on to lengths and ends. Reapply if necessary depending on length and thickness of hair.
Web can be used for a deconstructed, disheveled style. It helps re-styling efforts for structured, tousled and textured looks.
Styling Tip: Apply to dry hair by rubbing a nut-sized amount between hands, then pull hands slightly apart to stretch out the fibers, just like a web. Then run through your hair for a textured effect and style as desired.
The Morning After Dust is a cleansing dry shampoo that revives any style and absorbs oil with zero residue and a light hold. It revives hairstyles by absorbing oil, leaves no residue and adds light hold. The Super Dust is an ultra-fine volume and texture powder that creates weightless volume, texture, medium hold and grip. The dry shampoo technology means weightless volume, texture and hold. It's ideal for creating big, voluminous styles and updos and allows for easier backcombing.
