This brand puts the fun back into hairstyling

Back in 2016, four Canadian besties started wondering why and when haircare got so serious—and put their heads together to create a fun, whimsical range of products that delivered real results. Shortly thereafter, Design.Me was born and now with 250 salon retailers in the U.S. and Canada as well as an international presence, there’s been no looking back.

I recently had a chance to try two of the tightly-edited line’s products and both exceeded my expectations. The first, Fab.Me, is a pre-styling treatment that I can never see myself not using. Protection from heat and color fading, detangling, reduced blow-dry time, split-end smoothing, frizz control and shine enhancement are just a few of the benefits packed into this mist, and I was so intrigued I had to open the bottle and get a closer look. The consistency is thicker than a liquid, but it didn’t weigh my hair down the slightest bit. It’s truly awesome.

I’m also been on a volumizing kick lately, so I’ve been trying a variety of root-lifting products. Most of them are just too hard to control, which leaves me with a ton of product on my head and not the anti-gravity boost I’m really after. Once I tried Design.Me’s Puff.Me, my days of experimenting were over. The unique pump releases a small cloud of powder that makes it easy to get it just where you want it—then you massage it in and your good to go. (The regular version is designed for normal to thick hair, but the Puff.Me Light is perfect for giving fine hair a lift.)
