Stylus by FHI Brands has launched the Stylist Try Me Kit for professional hairdressers, providing them with the opportunity to sample all of the products in the new Stylus Thermal Styling Care line. The kit also includes an "I STYLUS, DO YOU?" black canvas bag.
The thermal styling hair care products are new line of treatments, thermal styling and finishing products, color coded for ease of use.
The Stylus system begins with Sheer Remedy – a liquid satin treatment color coded in aqua to represent water, healing and therapeutics.
Fresh Start is a protective prep and primer that creates the hair canvas and Be Protected is a thermal protecting foam that covers the hair evenly for heat and environmental protection. Both are color coded in yellow because, just as the sun rises first thing in the morning, these are the products with which you begin styling.
High Altitude is a root lift spray, Full Blown is a blow out volumizing mousse, Pump it Up is an express blow out serum and Total Control is a maximum hold gel. These four products are color coded in red to represent heat. FHI Brands offers many heat styling tools, so the brand created four thermal styling products that are activated in the hair and can be reactivated using heat. This technology allows for styling and restyling, which is especially helpful behind the scenes at New York Fashion Week, Los Angeles Fashion Week and Miami Swim Week.
Stay Beautiful is a working, light hold dry hair spray and Stay Styled is a variable hold dry hair spray color coded in the cool color blue to be used as the hair is cooling, while you are setting and locking in the style. Stay Finished is a firm hold dry hair spray and Stay Put is a mega firm hold hair spray color coded in purple. Shine Express is an instant shine mist color coded in magenta to complete all of your looks.
