Leading the way is Streax Professional, the premium product range for hair care, colour and style, specially crafted for salon professionals and technicians, which showcased Retro Remix, its new collection of vintage styles, reimagined for present-day fashionistas. The collection was launched in New Delhi at the 2019 edition of its mega hair show “Hair & Beyond”.
