Lived-In Textures: Hair How To
- Step 1 – Prep & Texture: Mist Bumble and bumble Prep Primer through lengths to enhance natural softness and movement, setting the foundation for an undone but elevated finish.
- Step 2 – Define Curls: For naturally textured hair, layer Bumble and bumble Curl Reactivator and Curl Defining Cream to highlight shape and bounce while keeping the silhouette fluid.
- Step 3 – Seal & Shine: Finish with a light veil of new Bumble and bumble Styling Oil to lock in moisture and create a subtle, high-gloss sheen
- The Result: It channels the collection’s beauty–brutality duality: hair that feels lived-in and intimate, yet carries the sculptural elegance and quiet power of a Mapplethorpe portrait.
