Most notable for its hair controller, which transforms texture without harsh or dangerous chemicals, QiQi has had a rebrand and has introduced a whole new line-up with super sleek packaging that’ll look great on salon shelves.
Hair Controller
Hair Controller works by using organic compounds that penetrate the cortex, softening the disulfide bonds and hydrating the hair without damage. Once disulfide and bonds are softened, the stylist applies heat and tension to realign and fix the bonds into their new shape. Using varying amounts of heat, tension and styling when finishing creates custom results ranging from frizz free curls to natural looking straight hair. Voila!

The brainchild of founders Aaron and Gili Lisani, QiQi is the embodiment of their relentless passion and pursuit for excellence.
Aaron, who began his career in sales before founding his own boutique factory, immersed himself in the intricacies of hair straightening and texture control. His commitment to innovation led to the creation of Qiqi’s iconic products, most notably the Hair Controller – a fully customisable salon treatment that reshapes texture without compromising hair health.
“My journey began in sales, but my exposure to manufacturing fueled my desire for improvement. Qiqi is the realisation of my vision to redefine industry standards, delivering sophisticated products that exceed expectations,” Aaron affirmed.
“We are not satisfied with the ordinary. Qiqi empowers individuals with total control, ensuring no harmful ingredients, outdated processes, ineffective formulas, or limits,” he adds.
