What is Texture Fluid?

Texture Fluid by NIKA, from the Styling Secrets line, is a texturising and volumising gel fluid that gives hair visible body and texture, with a medium hold and a natural, movable finish. Applied to damp or dry hair before blow-drying or air-drying, it builds volume with the conditioning polymers Polyquaternium-37 and Polyquaternium-55 and the film-forming polymer VP/VA Copolymer, which helps the style keep its shape. In the salon about 5 ml is used per styling, so a 150 ml bottle gives around 30 applications.

Key ingredients

• Polyquaternium-37 and Polyquaternium-55: conditioning polymers that give body and hold.
• VP/VA Copolymer: film-forming polymer that helps the style keep its shape.
• Butylene Glycol: humectant and solvent of the water-based fluid.
• PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil: solubiliser derived from castor oil that disperses the fragrance in the fluid.

Results

The hair shows more body and texture, with a natural finish and a medium hold that keeps it movable. A round brush during the blow-dry gives more volume; air-drying gives a looser result. Used sparingly, it keeps the hair light, and a hairspray adds more hold when needed.

How to use Texture Fluid

1. Start from washed, towel-dried hair, or from dry hair.
2. Distribute a small amount evenly from roots to ends.
3. Blow-dry, with a round brush for more volume and definition, or let the hair dry naturally for a looser finish.
4. Avoid using too much product, to keep the hair light. For more hold, finish with a hairspray.
