How does REF keep your colour beautiful for longer?
All REF Stockholm products contain the Colour Preserve System: a natural UV filter based on sunflower oil baSis. This clever mix protects your colour from fading and gives a healthy shine. Whether you have coloured or natural hair, your locks stay fresh and vibrant.
What do the numbers on styling products mean?
Every REF styling product shows three numbers, like 303. It’s not a secret code, but a handy system:
-
1st number = Hold
-
2nd number = Shine
-
3rd number = Volume
So: a 303 product has medium hold, no shine and medium volume. Super handy when choosing your Perfect styling match!
Is Maria Nila sulphate-free?
Yes! All Maria Nila shampoos are completely sulphate-free. That means no harsh Si cleaners that dry out your hair or irritate your scalp. Instead, Maria Nila uses mild, plant-based alternatives like Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate, perfect for sensitive scalp and coloured or dry hair.
So whether you have curls, suffer from sensitive scalp or simply want softness without chemicals: Maria Nila is a great choice.
