How to Use Summer Edition

Summer Edition is a seasonal release designed for those who want extra strong hold, high shine, and reliable all-day performance. Built on Bonafide's water-based formula, it delivers the control needed for structured styles while remaining easy to wash out at the end of the day. Combined with its signature pineapple-melon fragrance, Summer Edition offers a fresh take on one of Bonafide's strongest styling experiences.

What Styles Is It Best For?

Summer Edition excels at:

-Slick backs
-Pompadours
-Side parts
-Executive contours
-Traditional barbershop styles

If you prefer a polished hairstyle with lasting hold and shine, Summer Edition is an excellent choice. It works well on straight, wavy, and curly hair and is suitable for both medium and longer hairstyles that require dependable control throughout the day.

Step 1: Start With Clean Hair

For the best results, begin with clean hair. Summer Edition can be applied to either dry or lightly damp hair depending on the finish you're after.

-Dry Hair: Maximum hold, control, and structure.
-Lightly Damp Hair: Increased shine and easier product distribution.

Avoid applying to soaking wet hair, as excess water will dilute the product and reduce its holding power.

Step 2: Scoop and Emulsify

Use a fingertip-sized scoop for shorter hairstyles and slightly more for longer or thicker hair.

Rub the product thoroughly between your palms until it becomes evenly distributed across your hands.

Step 3: Apply Evenly

Work the product from the back of your head toward the front, making sure to coat the hair evenly from roots to ends.

This approach helps ensure consistent hold throughout the style and prevents excess product from accumulating in the front of the hair.

Step 4: Style Your Hair

Use a comb for clean lines and a polished finish or your fingers for a slightly more relaxed appearance.

Because Summer Edition offers strong hold and high shine, it's particularly well suited for structured styles that need to maintain their shape throughout the day.

Pro Tips

For Maximum Hold

Apply to completely dry hair and use a blow dryer before styling to build volume and structure.

For More Shine

Apply to lightly damp hair and use a comb to create a smoother, glossier finish.

For Thick Hair

Apply the product in two lighter layers rather than one heavy application to achieve more even distribution and stronger overall control.

For Larger Styles

Use a blow dryer to create volume before applying product. Summer Edition performs exceptionally well in pompadours and other styles that require height and shape.
