Uevo Design Cube Soft Gloss

Uevo Design Cube Soft Gloss* - £15.50

I tend to be quite minimalistic with my hair. I only wash it once or twice a week so after going through the whole blowdrying process I normally stick to a single styling product. I prefer a sleek & polished finish so I often look for things that can smooth any frizz or flyaways without flattening my hair down completely. A hair product that I've been really loving lately is this Uevo Design Cube. Uevo is a Japanese brand & their products are apparently very popular in Japanese hair salons. The Uevo Design Cube is available in 10 colours offering a variety of holds & finishes. The range is comprised of unisex hair waxes, gels & glosses. Not every product will be suitable for every hair type or length but there's a clever system in place to help you decide which Design Cube is the one for you. Each product has been assigned two numbers. The first number dictates how hard the product is & the second number shows how heavy it is.

I was kindly sent a tub of Soft Gloss by Hyde Park Hair Shop, the exclusive UK supplier of the Uevo Design Cubes. Soft Gloss is suitable for all hair types & lengths. The numbers on this product are 2-9 which means it offers a soft heavy hold to your hair. Soft Gloss contains natural pearl essence which gives the most beautiful shine & moisture. You can even see some pearlescent pink tones in the gloss which adds to the shimmery effect. It smells really amazing too, you can tell it's a salon quality product. Plus how cool is the packaging?! The neon pink shade definitely drew me to Soft Gloss. It looks like a lego cube & if you buy more than one of these products you can actually stack them like lego. Pretty cool huh?

In terms of performance this is exactly the kind of styling product that I like to use. I simply take a small blob of the gloss, rub it between my palms & run it through the lengths of my hair. The result is some seriously sleek & frizz-free hair. It adds some separation & definition but it still looks soft. I sometimes get a bit more product and twist it through the very ends of my hair to make it a bit more piecey. It's great for ruffling up your hair with to make it look effortlessly stylish. I don't find that it weighs down my hair or makes it greasy either which is always a dealbreaker for me. I've mentioned my love for Bumble & Bumble Brilliantine many times before & this product is actually comparable to it. Obviously one is a creme & the other is a gloss but they have a fairly similar effect on my hair. The pearlescent particles in Soft Gloss manage to add even more shine for a perfectly glossy finish. It makes my hair feel incredible too. Basically if you like Brilliantine, you'll absolutely love this. There's a Design Cube suitable for everyone so make sure you check out the collection.
