To achieve the best curl definition, we suggest using fantasticstyle® Curl Defining Crème, Use your hands to scrunch or squeeze the curls into place. Never brush curly hair. Let it air dry or use a diffuser. For extra shine, apply some fantasticfinish® Spray Shine. Just spray it in the air and walk through.
We suggest going for subtle highlights for your gray. The highlights will blend in with the lighter streaks of your own color without creating a major change. That way, repeating this service is completely up to you.
You can perm hair every 2-3 months. Your stylist will observe the condition of your hair. If needed, the stylist will recommend a pre-perm conditioning service, such as our Fantastic Intensives™ Perm Conditioner. This treatment, before a texture service, will assure fantastic, long-lasting results without dryness or frizz.
Want to add volume to your tresses? With the right products and styling tips you can! Begin by using Fantastic Sams® Volumizing Regimen. Start with Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner then add fantasticstyle® Volumizing Potion to clean damp hair. While your hair is still damp, apply fantasticstyle® Volumizing Root Lifter at the roots. While drying short hair, use a round brush to create lift. For long hair, simply bend over and dry your hair upside down.
If you have fine or thinning hair, try fantasticstyle® Volumizing Spray. Its non-alcohol formulation fortifies your hair’s internal structure for natural fullness and volume. After shampooing, spritz evenly through damp hair, directing the spray toward your roots. Comb through your hair to distribute evenly, and style as desired. You can also apply fantasticstyle® Volumizing Spray to dry hair. For best results, use the entire Fantastic Volumizing Regimen.
First, blow-dry curly hair to take out as much moisture as possible. Next, divide hair into sections. You may want to secure them up with a clip so you can focus on one at a time. Take down one section and apply fantasticstyle® Smoothing Gel to it. Use a round brush to gently pull the section of hair straight. Follow the brush with your hair dryer, and always keep the dryer moving down the length of your hair. Once that section is complete, take down a new one and repeat until all hair is straight.

If you’re in a hurry, you don’t have to blow dry your whole head. First, apply mousse, like our Fantastic Hair Care Styling Foam, throughout your hair. With a wide-tooth comb, draw a line from ear to ear on top of your head, and divide the front section into thirds. Blow-dry one side first, and then using a round brush, roll it towards your face. Continue with the crown, followed by the other side of the head. Run your hands through your blow-dried hair to blend in with the rest.
When hair is lacking luster, it’s time to revive it with fantasticrepair® Moisturizing Conditioning Masque. This intense conditioning treatment formulated with fantasticcomplex™ is designed to nourish and repair the internal structure of your dehydrated hair. For added luster, try fantasticfinish® Spray Shine and our NEW! Nourishing Serum.
It’s normal for hair to get some residue build-up, especially if you use non-professional styling aids that tend to coat the hair. Use a clarifying shampoo at least once a week instead of your normal shampoo. Try fantasticcleanse® Clarifying Shampoo – it is color safe and won’t relax perms.
To maintain healthy hair, we recommend that you have your hair trimmed every 4 to 6 weeks. This helps reduce split ends and promotes healthy-looking hair. You don’t even need to make an appointment, just stop by one of our salons. To find one near you, go to our Salon Locator.
Flyaway hairs are caused by two things: static electricity and lack of moisture. We have the tips to help prevent them. First, use a brush with natural, not plastic, bristles, which help distribute natural hair oils and increase shine. To add moisture, use the Fantastic Sams® Moisturizing Regimen, which is specifically formulated to provide intense hydration. To help fight frizz, add a drop of fantasticstyle® Nourishing Serum to damp hair, then follow-up with fantasticfinish® Shine Serum on dry hair. It increases shine and closes the cuticle for a smooth, sleek finish.
Apply a small amount of fantasticstyle® Molding Mud to your fingertips, working through hair to create a messy, textured look.
- 1. Brush hair smooth from roots to tips with a natural bristle brush, which helps naturally polish the hair for a smoother, sleeker ponytail.
- 2. Take a dime-size amount of fantasticstyle® Smoothing Gel into your hands and warm it for three seconds by rubbing your palms together. Distribute through hair, concentrating on the crown of your head.
- 3. Grab hold of hair tightly (in ponytail fashion) and brush hair back starting at the nape, and working all the way around the head. The base of the ponytail should be right below the occipital bone (the bony ridge right above the nape.)
- 4. Slide on a non-tearing elastic hair tie and secure at the base of your ponytail with two bobby pins on top and bottom of ponytail. Placing bobby pins at the base will allow you to get the tightest ponytail possible without creating “ripples” at the crown or around the hair elastic. Bobby pins will also allow for easy ponytail dismantling; simply take out pins and the ponytail will unravel on its own without any hair snagging.
- 5. If you do get ripples on the crown area, take the point of a tail comb and slide it across the ripple horizontally to sooth it out.
- 6. Lightly spritz the crown with a medium-hold hairspray such as fantasticfinish® Finishing Spritz and voila! You’ve got a perfect ponytail.
