The coloured, translucent caps of L’Oréal’s ‘play ball anti-frizz fizz’ and ‘play ball wax smoothie’ hair styling products are moulded from Surlyn, selected for its high transparency and ability to form thick-walled parts with uneven thicknesses. The ‘play ball’ range from L’Oréal Professionnel comprises fun hair products which encourage users to get creative and get the most from their hair style.

It was with this theme in mind that designers created the packaging of the play ball range’s aerosol-based hair-care products: the ‘anti-frizz fizz’ and the ‘wax smoothie’. Each has a white, aluminium aerosol container, decorated in pastel shades of blue and purple respectively. A key feature of the packaging’s design is the ball-shaped, translucent cap, moulded in highly-transparent Surlyn, which is coloured to match the container’s decoration using masterbatching.
