Keune brings a new addition to its Blend Collection with the launch of Salt Mousse, a body-building product that lifts, texturizes and volumizes. Sea salt added to the airy yet solid formula builds a beachy, texturized finish. Keune’s Multivitamin Complex energizes and nourishes the hair. Simply apply a generous amount of Blend Salt Mousse to the hair from roots to ends. Blow-dry for extra texture and volume, then style as desired.
Each Blend product can be mixed with any other in the line. Some favorite Blend cocktails from the Keune Education Team include:
For a texturized, curly/wavy wet look, apply Blend Salt Mousse to the hair from roots to ends and blow-dry using a round brush. Create a slicked-back look by applying Blend Gel at the roots with a wide-toothed comb.
For big hair that lasts forever, apply a generous amount of Blend Salt Mousse to damp hair and blow-dry. Fix the look with Blend Fixing Spray, making sure to spray a minimum of 12 inches from the hair. You can also spray Fixing Spray into your palms and work it through the hair.
For texturized, beachy hair, apply Blend Salt Mousse to the roots of wet hair and spray Blend Sea Salt on the lengths. Blow-dry while twisting sections around your fingers.
The Blend line also includes Blend Shape, Blend Paste, Blend Clay, Blend De-Frizz, Blend Gel, Blend Wax, Blend Fiber Wax, Blend Glue, Blend Sea Salt Spray, Blend Prep Spray, Blend Gloss Spray, Blend Refreshing Spray (Dry Shampoo), Blend Volume Powder and Blend Fixing Spray.
