What do the numbers on the styling products mean?
On every REF styling product you'll see three numbers, such as 303. This isn't a secret code, but a handy system:

- 2nd digit = Shine
- 3rd digit = Volume
So: a 303 product gives you medium hold, no shine, and medium volume. Super handy when choosing your perfect styling match!
