Transcript excerpt

You've seen the mont texture tool all over your feed but what is it and what is it actually doing? Well as someone who grew up with straight flat hair I had an issue. Powder damaged my hair making it dry and brittle. Sea salt spray is about as effective as a car with no engine. And clay is heavy leaves residue in the hair rank clumps when worn all day. And well three years ago I decided I'd had enough. If I couldn't find the perfect product for straight flat hair, I was gonna invent one myself from scratch. What did I want? Well, to begin with, beautiful natural texture, but it had to be lightweight with a strong all day hold, washes out with just water, smells better than your designer fragrance, and is wind resistant. Sounds impossible, right? But better refusing to give up three years, fifteen samples, we struck gold. And that's why we're the fastest growing men's hair brand in Europe. Because it's not just another product with different branding on. It is literally the thing you've been looking for.
