Revolution in Cut Primer - Layered Bob

Happy Saturday, everyone!

After about three months of attempting to grow my pob-esque hairstyle out to a bob or midlength shag, I caved and ran to the salon on a snowy Friday night in New Jersey. This cut, while much needed, was even more exciting than any in the past because of a new product I was going to try - Revolution in Cut Hair Primer for Layered Bobs.

Revolution in Cut is a new hair care line created by celebrity stylist Ric Pipino. It consists of caring, priming and styling products.

The Caring products include a sulphate free shampoo, conditioner and a deep conditioner. Styling products include a smoothing cream, curling gel, lifting root spray and tousling pomade. The most exciting thing about this line, however, is the 'revolutionary' primers, specifically designed for different hair styles. So what is a primer, you may ask...


Primers are hair products designed to take control of your hair after caring for it (after showering, before style products). Revolution in Cut has six different primers, crop, layered bob, bob, short layers, long layers and blunt. The main purpose of these primers is to keep your fresh hair cut growing in the direction your stylist intended.

Some women may find it's hard to style their hair after a fresh cut...you can never get it to look exactly like your stylist did. With Revolution in Cut Priming, the life of your haircut is extended, and styling is a cinch! After washing with the sulphate free shampoo (warning: sulphate free shampoo is not supposed to lather, so don't pile it on!) and conditioning, I towel dried my new 'do and got ready for the priming experience.

Since I have almost no hair in the back of my head, I used only about half a pump. The silky cream rubbed into my hair very well; I was cautious about how close I got it to my scalp. Sometimes these pre-styling creams can make your roots get weighed down or look greasy, and I didn't want to deal with that. To my surprise, drying time was cut in half! My hair took about three minutes to dry in full, and the usual frizziness of my short, naturally curly hair was cut out completely. It smelled amazing, and I hoped straightening would be a breeze.

As I predicted, straightening took about 5 minutes, and my hair looked as perfectly sculpted as it did yesterday when I left the salon. I took some of the tousling pomade, Tousle Me, and attacked the back of my head with it...hoping my craving for big, sexy hair would be fulfilled. Again, I was correct.

Revolution in Cut has earned a place in my heart, and I can't wait to try more of their product line. I look like I have movie star hair, and I couldn't be happier! Will definitely update on whether or not I feel the lifespan of my haircut is extended with the use of these...

You can buy Revolution in Cut by Ric Pipino at Beauty 360. Products range from $18 - $32. Judging by the small amount I've used and the excellent results I've seen, the products are definitely worth the price!
