Split between a Construction range, for use on damp hair to shape, and a Finishing range, to use on dry and styled hair, the Couture Styling products offering a technological avante-garde for long-lasting fusional hold and absolute freedom of movement.

In collaboration with celebrity stylist Luigi Murenu, who’s styled the hair of Madonna, Naomi Campbell, Charlize Theron and others, the Couture Styling range is made up of twelve products designed to bring catwalk style to the masses.
