Björn Axén has been in the market since 1963 with professional salons in Stockholm (he opened his first salon after training in Paris) and still provides services to the Swedish Royal Family. In 1984, the brand introduced its own product line, with a focus on innovation, sustainability and quality. Their brand-new Curl series, launching in August 2025, is specifically designed for curly hair. It's a complete 4-step routine that provides hydration, definition, bounce, and frizz control:

  • Curl Shampoo: Sulfate-free, with creatine, Scandinavian birch water and jojoba oil for gentle cleansing, hydration and shine.
  • Curl Conditioner en Curl Hair Mask: Intensely nourishing with shea butter, creatine and jojoba oil for soft, bouncy curls.
  • Curl Creator Cream (for thick hair) and/or Curl Defining Mousse (for fine hair): the cream provides heat and UV protection up to 220°C, nourishes with creatine and jojoba and defines without weighing down; the mousse is light, nourishing and gives structure with shine.
  • Curl Reactivating Spray – a refreshing mist with glycerin and almond extract to restore curl definition and hydration between washes.

You've probably seen it pass by, or maybe it's already in your shower. massageborstel for your hair and scalp! Using the brush is simple, but requires a bit more effort. Massage the shampoo in with the brush for a minute and then rinse it out again in the shower for a minute (also trained those arm muscles!). Your hair naturally grows from your scalp, so it is important to take good care of it.

When you get out of the shower and you have combed your hair and scalp in the shower with the massage brush, you probably have some tangles that need to be brushed out. The best way to do this is with a nourishing conditioner (which ensures that your hair becomes less frizzy) and a brush. Wet your hair, add a dollop of conditioner and borstel your hair from bottom to top until it is tangle-free.

Style that hair

Of course you can style your hair with your hands, but sometimes it's just a little easier and better with a good brush. The advantage of using a styling brush that you can often create just that little bit of extra volume in your hair. When you get out of the shower, you can squeeze the water out of your hair and then fold your hair into a microfibre cloth. If you don't have one in your closet, you can also just fish a large shirt out of the closet. When your hair is towel-dried, you can distribute a cream in your hair and use the brush to bring the curl in well. To keep the curl in place, you can scrunch a gel in with your hands.

In addition to the Denman styling brush, the Curl Define Styling Brush (a mouthful) also a good option to style that bouncy curl on towel-dried hair after showering. It may look complicated, but it is actually very handy. You comb a section of hair and through the ridges on the side your curls come apart - they bounce up by themselves. Easy.
