Continuing from the global success of essence ULTÎME by Claudia Schiffer; Schwarzkopf has launched the styliste ULTÎME styling range. This range is designed to help women achieve hold for long-lasting style, a sleek, shiny finish, natural beach waves, and big volume and incorporates micro-fine molecule technology which means the product forms a light, invisible layer that gives hair long-lasting hold without stickiness. What’s more the products are just $9.99 for huge bottles so they are a bargain price. I spend up big time on skin care and don’t mind splashing out on a beautiful lipstick, but I am loathe to cough up too much money for a hair product.

I tried a couple of products in the range and so far I’m impressed. In fact, I am in love with the defrizz cream. I put it on after blow drying, then twist my hair into a soft bun and go to bed. The next day my curls are super bouncy and defined, as well as completely smooth – without any frizz. That’s pretty much unheard of for me. I also tried the texture spray which does give curls a bit more definition and boost, without leaving them horribly crunchy or stiff. I like it. And as I said, for the price you can’t really go wrong.

The range includes:

styliste ULTÎME AMINO-Q HOLD Hair Spray and Foam Mousse – containing micro-styler technology and amino acids to protect the hair. The mousse helps create the style, while the hair spray gives you a 48-hour ultra-strong finish for sensational hold, increased resistance and 100% control.

styliste ULTÎME SATIN FRIZZ CONTROL Straightening Spray with satin smooth serum, reduces frizz while protecting hair against heat damage (ideal for styling with straightening irons), for a 4 days straight effect.

styliste ULTÎME SATIN FRIZZ CONTROL Defrizz Cream with satin smooth serum, reduces frizz and flyaways for dazzling sleekness and perfect manageability.

styliste ULTÎME SEA SALT BEACH LOOK Texture Spray contains real sea salt, helping you to achieve a soft, natural look with tousled beach waves, regardless of the time of year.

styliste ULTÎME BIOTIN+ VOLUME Soufflé with biotin-complex and extra root-lifting effect, adds body and texture to the hair from root to tip, without weighing down.
