BUMBLE AND BUMBLE
Bumble and Bumble is a haircare brand that rules internationally. Offering an extensive variety of cruelty-free hair products, such as purple toning shampoos, heat shields, and anti-frizz conditioners, this brand has earned itself a trusted reputation in high-end salons.
Bumble and Bumble has five decades of history behind it. The founder, Michael Gordon, created the company in 1977, inspired by the fashion-forward thinking of the 60s and 70s that he had seen around him as a young hairstylist apprentice.
The brand is headquartered in NYC, where it all began with one humble but hopeful salon. Bumble and Bumble’s mission has remained the same throughout the decades and all the crazy trends of the ‘80s, ‘90s, and ‘00s: to give a diversity of people haircare products that work and allow them the creativity to express themselves through fabulous, healthy hair.
Its first product, the Brilliantine, was launched in 1991. This texturizer provided an innovative means of getting the separated, tousled look that would become ultra-popular in the ‘90s. Since this initial launch, Bumble and Bumble has continued to offer men and women game-changing products, such as primers and sun protection, for their at-home hair routines.
