At its core, Bumble and bumble is about giving people the tools, the confidence, and the freedom to express themselves through hair.
The new collection limits hair’s exposure to heat and damage.

The desire for safe, efficient thermal tools sure has caught fire, thanks to Bio Ionic’s new GrapheneMX Collection. The tools take the fear of heat away, thanks to proprietary, naturally developed mineral complexes that leave hair healthy and conditioned.
The new line includes a dryer, styling iron and brushes. The technology holds a consistent heat level without recovery time, so hair is exposed to heat for a shorter time while creating a more uniform style. Boasting up to 68% less damage, hair is left healthy, hydrated and softer than before.
Artists Kim Bruce, Stephanie Hodges and Marissa Larson have found the new collection to be a staple at their stations.
“The tools in this collection are must-haves for stylists,” Bruce says. “I can’t get enough of them.”
The dryer is designed to condition hair while drying for fast, frizz-free styling. Larson says it’s particularly helpful with clients who have thick or textured hair.
“Curly hair can be stubborn whenever I’m trying to smooth it during a blowout,” Larson says. “But we had no problems when using the GrapheneMX dryer and brushes. They got the job done in half the amount of time, and my client’s hair was left feeling healthy.”
The iron allows for smoothness and shine, due to plates that maintain a consistent heat level with no hot spots.
“The iron allows me to straighten or curl hair at a lower temperature without damage,” Hodges says. “Plus, I’m still able to achieve incredible shine.”
When using the styling brushes and paddle brush, stylists are able to distribute heat more evenly for faster styling.
“The brushes are my favorite,” Bruce says. “The handle has a triangular shape, which makes it ultra comfortable when doing a blowout. The bristles are soft enough that they don’t scratch a client’s scalp while also being firm enough to grab the hair and blow dry it with tension.”
