Dry Texture Spray is a dry, argan-oil infused spray for effortless, undone styles with long-lasting hold. Use as a finishing spray for styles with carefree, textured volume. Can also be used as a prep spray to provide foundational grip needed for no-slip braids and updos. A particle matrix of high-performance resins and zeolite form a bond between hairs for a texturized hold with a dry, gritty finish.
Texture Clay is a moldable clay that defines and sculpts to create natural looks with a matte finish and strong hold. Features a blend of argan oil, shea butter and bentonite clay for piecey, roughed-up styles. Achieve customizable versatility—this unisex hair clay allows for time to style before the hold sets in to build to a desired level of texture for both short and long hair. Tames and controls frizz all day and leaves behind a non-sticky, non-greasy finish.
Glimmer Shine is a finishing spray that attracts and reflects light to give hair a gorgeous gloss. Infused with argan oil, vitamins and antioxidants, this hair shine spray creates an invisible veil of shine which helps protect hair against harmful environmental elements like the sun, salt water and chlorine. It also enhances color and highlights, for hair that reflects beautifully in any light. Alcohol-free.
HAIRSTYLES TO BEAT THE SUMMER HEAT:
Top Knot: When it's too hot to have a single strand touching your neck, a top knot is the perfect solution. Prep hair with Moroccanoil Treatment Original, pull up in to a stylized bun, and for extra grit use Moroccanoil Dry Texture Spray for a messy top knot that will stay all day.
Peek-A-Boo Braid: Braid bangs back behind your ear for a clean look. Taking hair off your face will keep your bangs from surrendering to the humidity. Use Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine for added shine and seamless styling.
High Ponytail: Anything but boring and practically a summer necessity, the high pony is a staple around the office. This simple, yet chic updo will pull hair away from your face and neck allowing for a breezy look you can take from day to night look. Use the Moroccanoil Texture Clay to piece out the ends and to tame flyaways at your hairline.
