ADDITIONAL TIPS ON PRODUCTS
LAVENDER SMOOTH BALM
Preparation for straightening
How to prepare your hair better for straightening without damaging it? Hannes Trummer explains how: Apply a small amount of LAVENDER SMOOTH BALM evenly to damp hair, do not rinse and style. It provides ideal protection against the heat of styling.
PROTEINSPRAY
Refresher
Fine hair tends to lose volume after the last shampoo has been a little longer. Hannes Trummer tells us today how the hairstyle can be refreshed without daily washing: Simply spray a small amount of the PROTEINSPRAY on the hair and blow dry the hair briefly. Attention: Shake well before use!
ELDERFLOWER SALT SPRAY
Naturally chic evening hairstyle
Like an elegant but still naturally chic evening hairstyle we reveal - a little "home glam" at the turn of the year. The ideal preparation for pinned-up hairstyles, especially for fine and straight hair - the ELDERFLOWER SALT SPRAY. Simply spray it on the hairline, spread the lengths with your fingers and then style as desired. For additional hold, we recommend styling your hair with the THYME LACQUE to fix them. If you want a shinier look, you should finally spray on the LINDENGLOSS FINISHING SPRAY.
Beach Waves
How do you get the wavy beach look, when the sand is a long way off?
Spray the ELDERFLOWER SALT SPRAY liberally into damp or dry hair, knead with your fingers and style. Let your hair dry or blow dry. If you have more time, spray into damp hair, work in braids or a bun and let your hair dry. After opening you will be rewarded with natural waves.
Natural Wedding Hairstyle
It does not necessarily have to be the elaborate updo for the wedding. Those who prefer it natural also have other options. Open hair are wonderfully suitable as a bridal hairstyle. Hannes Trummer knows the best way to style a natural wedding hairstyle: spray the ELDERFLOWER SALT SPRAY onto the hairline, spread it with your fingers in the desired lengths and style as desired. Fix with THYME LACQUE - this gives additional support so that the hairstyle lasts until dawn.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
‘Dry Shampoo’
Especially at high temperatures, sweat that spreads through the hair is almost a daily occurrence. This can then quickly look a bit "greasy". Here's a tip on how to get rid of the excess shine: simply apply the ELDERFLOWER SALT SPRAY in the mist to the roots a full arm's length away. The spray swallows the excess shine and has a matting effect. And best of all, you don't even have to grab a hairdryer.
Freshen up your Style
Are you looking for a product to freshen up your style (with a hair dryer and a brush) the day after shampooing?
Co-founder and stylist Hannes Trummer explains how: spray the Elderflower Salt Spray with a little distance over your hair and then blowdry headfirst with a brush. A kind of natural dry shampoo.
Flat hair
Winter is the time of hats and caps. To maintain volume even under your hat or cap, simply spray Elderflower Salt Spray onto the hairline, allow to dry for about two minutes and then brush through your hair once with a natural bristle brush. This creates natural volume. This way your roots do not look flat even after wearing headgear.
Bun
The bun ranks among the most popular hairstyles for putting up long hair. Today Hannes Trummer explains, how he shapes the popular hairstyle: simply spray the ELDERFLOWER SALT SPRAY onto the hairline, spread it over the lengths with your fingers and style. Fix with THYME LACQUE for additional hold.
FLOWER WHIP
Perfect bounce
The Less is More FLOWER WHIP is particularly suitable for curly hair. Be it to bundle or define them. The styling cream gives your hair an attractive shine and bounce. Hannes Trummer, co-founder of Less is More and dtylist, explains how he uses the product today: simply work it into damp hair, blow-dry with the diffuser for beautifully bundled curls or into dry hair for definition.
ROSE SERUM
Allrounder
ROSE SERUM is not only wonderfully suitable as a rich care mask for the hair - thanks to its mild formulation, rich in natural ingredients, the oil can also be applied directly to the skin for a massage. A few drops in the hot bathtub turn the bath into an oasis of well-being in the twinkling of an eye. And one more thing: Rose Serum is also an insider tip for beard care.
Beard Oil
ROSE SERUM is multifunctional. It also works wonderfully as a beard oil. Simply massage 1 - 3 drops of it gently into the beard. The oil will not wash out afterwards, so it cares, protects and strengthens your beard.
Bath essence
Bathing is bliss. The metabolism is stimulated, colds are prevented and toxins are eliminated through the pores when you sweat. In the bath: Less is More ROSE SERUM and a handful of organic dried flowers.
MASCOBADOGEL
Classic style gel
Versatile gel for strong hold, can be used as a classic style gel and also as a fixing gel when blow drying to obtain maximum volume.
LINDENGLOSS FINISHING SPRAY
Antistatic
The LINDENGLOSS FINISHING SPRAY smoothes and protects specially coloured, damaged hair. And for those who like to wear winter caps: it has an antistatic effect. Simply shake well before use and then spray sparingly over the tips or lengths of hair to finish styling. So that the hair stays where you want it.
Flyaway hair
Tame flyaway hair - Hannes Trummer shows us what helps against statically charged hair: Take LINDENGLOSS FINISHING SPRAY and spray a small amount on your comb. Comb through your hair and then blow-dry. The best thing is that our lindengloss spray not only has an anti-static effect, it also protects hair from heat.
Perfect shine
Hannes Trummer tells us how to get perfect shine into your hair: After blowdrying, spray the LINDENGLOSS FINISHING SPRAY onto the still hot hair, then blow-dry again briefly with on a cool setting - this closes the hair structure and gives perfect shine. Shake well before use!
THYME LACQUE
For a long-lasting styling
Start the weekend with gentle waves and natural volume. For long-lasting styling, @christophtomann stylists recommend Less is More THYME LACQUE as a finish: it gives stability and soft shine without sticking together. Just try it out!
Baby, it’s cold outside
Less is More THYME LACQUE is a fixing hairspray on a natural basis. The spray gives your hair hold, enhances shine and moisturizes. And that's not all: thanks to thyme it also helps prevents colds and coughs. So it's just the thing for the cold season.
ANGELROOT VOLUME SPRAY
Festive hair styling
Whether a company Christmas party or Christmas Eve with the family, the festive time is just around the corner. Festive hair styling can be wonderfully conjured up with the ANGELROOT VOLUME SPRAY. Organic beet sugar from Austria gives the hair volume, strong hold and moisture. Good to know: Shake well before application and heat-activate by blow-drying so that the sugar molecules combine and the hair does not stick together.
Volume
Volume from the hairline, despite a smooth hair texture. Is that possible? Hannes Trummer says yes, and explains to us how he does it in his salon ‘minusplus’: Spray Less is More ANGELROOT VOLUME SPRAY on your fingertips and then apply it to the damp hair roots. Now start blow drying your head down. Next, use a paddle brush to blow-dry your hair in all directions. Then use a round brush to shape the lengths and tips and spray Less is More EARL GREY BLOW-DRY SPRAY over your hair as finishing.
KIESELWAX
Strong texture for your hair
Hannes Trummer explains how you can give your hair a strong texture with a matte finish: rub the KIESELWAX well in your hands. Work into dry hair for shaping and texturing. For more grip when blow-drying: apply just before evenly to damp hair.
Woke up like this
You want the natural, yet perfect look that lasts all day? Hannes Trummer shows us how: simply rub the KIESELWAX well into the palm of your hand, mix it with the FLOWER WHIP and spread it over wet hair. For a rough curly look à la "I woke up like this".
HONEYWAX
Mix it with Kieselwax
Has your last hairdresser‘s visit been a while and is your hair not short anymore?
That sometimes makes styling your hair a little difficult. For this exact situation Hannes Trummer tells us one of his tricks: First, spread Less is More HONEYWAX well in your palms, then add and mix KIESELWAX. Rub the combination in your palm until it is not longer visible. And then just work this in your hair.
LIMESOUFFLÉ
More bounce
Your hair often hangs straight and heavy? Today Hannes Trummer explains how to conjure up more bounce in your hair: Rub the LIMESOUFFLÉ between your fingers and use it like a comb to accentuate the bounce with blow-dried medium to long hair.
FOR CERTAIN PURPOSES
AUTUMN
Weekly treatment
Strained autumn hair is pleased about a weekly treatment. The nourishing leave-in conditioner LAVENDER SMOOTH BALM is ideal for dry hair. It gives your hair wonderfully soft smoothness and protects it from split ends. Apply a small amount evenly to wet hair, do not rinse.
Intensive treatment
The perfect beauty ritual for a cosy autumn evening is an intensive treatment with ROSE SERUM every two weeks: massage the serum into the scalp and hair and let it work overnight. Rinse well with shampoo the next morning (two washes)! The intensive vitamin shine serum repairs and cares for dry, brittle and frizzy hair.
WINTER
Caps & dry heating air
Temperatures are dropping and already we struggle with electric hair. This is often caused by wearing caps or dry heating air. During this time, our hair needs more moisture than usual, so more intensive care is advisable. Perfectly suited for this are leave-in products that provide moisture. We recommend: LAVENDER SMOOTH BALM, PROTEINSPRAY and LINDENGLOSS FINISHING SPRAY.
Heat protection when using the hairdryer
Cold temperatures hardly allow us to air dry our hair. So we reach for the hairdryer. Hannes Trummer explains why natural heat protection is so important: wet hair is particularly sensitive. If it is too hot, the water in the hair evaporates and the softened hair surface jumps up. That's why I strongly recommend applying natural heat protection before blow-drying, such as PROTEIN SPRAY, TANGERINE CURL BALM, LAVENDER SMOOTH BALM or LINDENGLOSS FINISHING SPRAY.
SUMMER
Keep a cool head
We reveal how to keep a cool head in spite of the heat. For when you've caught too much sun and your scalp is sore. For best results spray HERBAL TONIC directly onto the scalp and just leave it in. Thanks to its gentle plant waters and extracts, it has a soothing and anti-inflammatory effect. The tonic is also excellent for mosquito bites or just as a refreshing facial spray on those hot days. Unlike the skin, UV rays do not cause inflammation in our hair, but damage the cuticle layer of the hair fibres. The hair becomes dry and brittle. Less is More ROSE SERUM wraps itself around hair like a protective film and provides it with moisturising ingredients that counteract drying out. Thanks to the high concentration of natural anti-oxidants, the serum effectively protects against damage from UV rays.
PROTEINSPRAY contains high concentrations of natural anti-oxidants. They provide protection for the hair against UV damage. For well-groomed summer hair.
Sunburn on your head? The HERBAL TONIC remedies irritated scalp, soothes itching and has a cooling effect! By the way, here's a tip from Less is More Team: even with mosquito bites it has a wonderful cooling effect, so you should always have a Herbal Tonic travel size in your pocket for barbecue evenings!
CHILDREN
If you have to tush again in the morning, hair care that makes children's hair easy to comb and untangles is worth its weight in gold: we recommend TANGERINE CURL BALM or PROTEIN SPRAY. The latter is particularly easy to apply and can also be used in dry hair.
CURLS
Everyone who has curls knows the problem: often your hair is frizzy and your tips dry. But that doesn't have to be the case. Hannes Trummer shows us how. For closed and shiny curls, apply FLOWER WHIP and MASCOBADOGEL to wet hair.
For very dry hair, simply add a drop of ROSE SERUM.
Keeping curly hair in check can be quite elaborate. Hannes Trummer explains how to hold the curls optimally and quite simply: Mix Less is More LIMESOUFFLÉ (2/3) with LAVENDER SMOOTH BALM (1/3), knead into damp hair and air dry or blow dry.
As finishing spray the Less is More THYME LACQUE into dry hair and give the curls the desired shape.
UNDONE
Look for short and mid-length hair. Hannes reveals how to create an intentionally unintentional look for short and mid-length hair. Simply apply HONEYWAX and FLOWER WHIP to dry hair and tousle with a blow-dryer on the highest setting. Quite simple, isn't it?
BRAIDS
Whether on the beach, in the swimming pool or while hiking - braided hairstyles are ideal for summer. Here are a few tips from Hannes Trummer on how to make your braided hair last the day: spray the ELDERFLOWER SALT SPRAY on the hairline, spread and style it with your fingers in to the lengths. Fix with THYME LACQUE for additional support.
SOFT VOLUME
Hannes Trummer explains to us how he provides soft volume: Simply spray the ANGELROOT VOLUME SPRAY evenly onto towel-dried hair before blow-drying. Then move the hair roots through regular brushing and blow dry. (The preparation booster is only activated with the blow-dry heat.) Finally, work EARL GREY BLOW-DRY SPRAY into damp or dry hair as a firming agent for shape and definition.
BEARD
Whether a three-day stubble or a full beard - even the hair on your face wants to be cared for. The combination of Less is More HONEYWAX and ROSE SERUM is ideal for men with a medium to long beard. Once the beard loses its desired shape, mix the two products well in your palms and rub in from root to tip. Provides care and a flexible hold for the whole day.
