The Daycliance Approach

The RAYDIANCE Approach is designed
for individuals who want added
fullness for thinning hair.

The method blends RAYDIANCE hair
fibers with your existing hair so that
your hair becomes fuller while
retaining a completely natural look.

The ultimate RAYDIANCE benefit is a
natural and fashionable solution to
thin hair.
