ABOUT SMTHELSE

What is SMTHELSE?

SMTHELSE is co-created by Jon Kortajarena, internationally known for his career in fashion and film and the team behind Hair Couture, with more than 5 decades of professional experience. After more than twenty years working with the world's leading fashion houses, Jon and Hair Couture created SMTHELSE as a modern, conscious luxury haircare brand inspired by Jon's roots and refined vision of beauty. 

What does the name mean?

SMTHELSE stands for "something else": a different approach to luxury, focused on timeless elegance, authenticity, sustainability and emotional connection rather than trends and excess.

Is SMTHELSE a men’s or women’s brand?

Neither. The range is formulated for all hair types and created without gender boundaries.

Is SMTHELSE an affordable luxury brand?

Yes. SMTHELSE brings professional-level
performance and a considered approach to luxury within reach, rather than
treating either as exclusive.


Using the Products

Is SMTHELSE suitable for all hair types?

Yes. The range is formulated for all hair types and textures, and created without gender boundaries. Product pages indicate where a formula is particularly suited to hair that is damaged, fine, oily or prone to frizz.

Can products from different collections be combined?

Yes. SMTHELSE lines are formulated to layer, so collections can be combined to address more than one concern at once. For the fullest effect within a single concern, the shampoo, conditioner, and mask of one line are designed to perform best together.

How often should the mask be used?

The mask delivers its fullest effect when used once or twice weekly, applied after cleansing in place of, or alongside, the conditioner.

Is the range vegan?

Yes. Every product in the range is 100% vegan. The formulas are also free from sulfates, silicones and colorants.
