Bristows is a British brand celebrating 70 years of styling the nation’s hair. From 50’s bouffants and beehives to 2024’s textured shag cuts, Bristows has stood the test of time with a firm hold on keeping hair in place at great value prices since 1954. The brand’s adverts and packaging have been as iconic as the styles it has held in place over the decades.
Over the years, Bristows’ hair range has evolved and adapted to changing consumer demands, trends and innovation in hair. The brand packaging has undergone several design updates, with the pink can becoming iconic in haircare.
70 years on and the Bristows range looks a little different today with new look packaging and line extensions in hair mousse, dry shampoo and – coming soon in 2024 – heat protection.
Starting at just £1.49 for Bristows hair mousses and dry shampoos and with all products priced less than £2, Bristows has long been a brand that enables its users at home, in salon and backstage to take on modern hair styling trends at low prices.
Celebrity hairstylist and Bristows ambassador Desmond Grundy is a fan of Bristows and uses it in his kit, he describes: “My favourite product from the Bristows range is the Extra Firm Hold Hairspray. It’s so versatile. I use it for styling, blow drying, tonging, up-dos, ponytails, buns. It’s a really fine mist and not sticky at all so it’s easy to use and gives a really natural look and feel on the hair.”
Bristows hairsprays (RRP £1.69 for 400ml) utilise fine mist technology to tame fly aways, protect from humidity and control for 24 hours. Available in Ultra Hold, Extra Firm, Natural Hold and Conditioning Hold.
Bristows mousses (RRP £1.49 for 200ml) are perfect for every day, full bodied styling or curl definition. With 24 hour, long lasting hold, they add volume and shine for a natural look with hair that feels soft without stickiness. Available in Volume & Body and Curls & Waves.
Bristows dry shampoos (RRP £1.49 for 200ml) will instantly refresh and revitalise dull and lifeless hair while adding enviable volume. Rice starch levels match the dry shampoo market leader and perform well to absorb excess oil from the hair and scalp, without stickiness or drying it out, meaning you can go longer between washes and hair is left feeling fresh and clean. Available in Original, Tropical and Sweet Dreams Overnight Dry Shampoo.
