Swingy, voluminous, just-left-the-salon hair, in a can. Ideal for fine strands, this spray lifts hair at the roots and plumps up the texture of hair for big bounce. It also sculpts as you blow dry with a brush and retains the shape so it won’t drop or fall flat.

Now for the mane event: A great hair dryer! This hero for hair is equipped with Moisturizing Heat Technology that hydrates hair from the inside out by emitting natural negative ions that allow water molecules to penetrate deep into strands. It also speeds up dry time by 75% compared to standard hair dryers, so you’ll also be cutting down on damaging heat exposure.
