Provitamin B5 • Conditioning cream • 150ml
The most conditioning-focused option in the range. Its formula contains glycerin, sorbitol and Provitamin B5 (panthenol), supported by emollients for softness, smooth application and a polished brilliantine-style finish.
Best for: Softer styling, dry-looking hair, classic finishes and clients prioritising conditioning over firm hold.
Apply a small amount through damp or dry hair, then comb or shape into the desired style.
View Product →Medium hold • Flexible everyday styling • 150ml
The balanced everyday option. Beeswax gives the cream body and pliability, while PVP supplies medium styling hold. Sorbitol and dimethicone support a smoother feel without turning the product into a hard wax.
Best for: Everyday barber finishes, flexible control, medium-length styles and clients who do not want an extra-firm product.
Work a small amount between the palms and distribute through damp or dry hair. Add more only where extra control is needed.
View Product →Extra hold • Strong cream control • 150ml
The extra-hold option for clients who need more control from a cream format. Its beeswax, PVP and emollient base supports stronger shape retention while still applying and spreading like a styling cream.
Best for: Stronger control, thicker hair, structured styles and clients who want more hold without moving to a firm wax or clay.
Warm thoroughly between the palms and apply evenly. Use on dry hair for stronger control or damp hair for smoother distribution.

Brilliantine focuses most heavily on conditioning and polished softness. Cream #5 is the medium-hold everyday option, while Cream #6 is the extra-hold option for clients requiring stronger control.
Brilliantine is the most suitable starting point because its formula contains panthenol, glycerin and sorbitol, together with a richer emollient base.
Cream #5 is the balanced everyday choice. It offers medium hold without being positioned as the strongest product in the range.
Cream #6 is the extra-hold product and is the clearest choice for thicker hair or more structured styles.
Yes. Damp application generally gives smoother distribution, while dry application gives more direct control and definition. Start with a small amount and build only where necessary.
Give your customers a clear choice between conditioning, medium hold and extra control—all within one professional Nish Man collection.
