    Pin and spray the front with Infinium 3 up and away from the face.

By applying infinium directly to a bristle paddle brush and then “painting” the hair with sweeping strokes of definition and shine, the Brush Set Technique creates limitless possibilities for the construction of styled, sculpted and truly designer looks on and off the runway. Recine’s signature 4 step technique, crosses into a new realm of haute couture styling.
