The A-list hair hero

Odds are you don’t need an introduction to hair stylist Oribe Canales. Known for his charming charisma and high-gloss ethos, the Cuban-American is as jet set as the clients who fly him around the world. Far from being a cookie-cutter hairdresser, his 40 years of experience of styling the world’s elite – from Linda Evangelista to Jennifer Lopez and Penélope Cruz – have honed his skills in creating a cut that manages to be both feminine and alluring. But it’s his styling that has created waves on the red carpet; Oribe is known to take an up-do to glamorous new heights.

Oribe launched his eponymous line 10 years ago, together with co-founders Daniel Kaner and Tev Finger, marrying his best-in-class hair knowledge with high-tech, luxury formulas that really delivered – from gels that condition, oils that hold, sprays that don’t flake, and skincare-grade shampoos and masques that have the richness of a moisturizing cream. Not only is the packaging sleek (perfume bottles served as the inspiration), but the product really does deliver. Now, a decade later, they’ve reached global, cult-like status.

The most coveted product globally is also a backstage and film-set essential and a personal favorite of Oribe: the Dry Texturizing Spray. While we all know about dry shampoo, this multi-tasking spray is a styling hybrid – part texturizer, dry shampoo and volumizer, its unique, high-performance formula also cleverly absorbs oil at the roots and extends any blow dry with a new lease of life. The result? Hair is left with incredible volume and the sexiest of textures all without the powder residue that comes with some dry shampoos, leaving you with just-styled hair for days (and nights). It smells great, too; Oribe’s signature fragrance (a blend of bright Italian bergamot, heady tuberose, jasmine and warming sandalwood) leaves hair with the most enticing of trails. Simply shake and spray where you want volume and style.

To commemorate Oribe Hair Care’s 10-year anniversary, this hero product is now available in a limited-edition, sequin-wrapped bottle, so it not only gives you good hair every day but makes the perfect addition to your vanity table or bathroom cabinet. Happy birthday, Oribe!
