Urban Canvas from Bed Head

Funky hair brand Bed Head has given some its best-sellers a face-lift with the help of some talented urban artists. The Urban Canvas Collection sees Small Talk, Hard Head, Masterpiece and After Party all sporting new looks thanks to the talented trio.

LA artist Jim Mahfood aka Food One, whose work includes the new Tank Girl graphic novel, put his talents to the Small Talk packaging. The 3-in-1 hair styler was given it’s own boost in the shape of monsters on the packaging. He also made over Hard Head hairspray, my favourite of them all.

Masterpiece, a shine spray, was given a new gloss by London-based Jarry Woollacott aka Rust One, who opted for blue and green and swirls. And Manchester based illustrator, Nicholas Saunders gave After Party, for frizz-prone friends, a bold green and neon pink look.

Bed Head Urban Canvas is out now with prices starting from £9.75 and available exclusively in professional salons. To find your closest salon go to www.bedhead.com
