    The innovative Brush Set Technique converts infinium into a visionary styling tool, creating endless possibilities, limitless creativity and artistic freedom for hair that is not just styled but transformed.

    The revolutionary technology behind infinium allows stylists to comb and re-comb hair to rework the style without residue, while providing shape memory. 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.
