All hair types, 1 through 4c, that want a glossy, polished finish on dry, styled hair. It is particularly useful for colour-treated hair, thanks to the UV filters, and for smoothing flyaways at the end of a style.

Finer hair should apply it through the hands rather than spraying directly, as amika recommends.

Top Gloss is the final polish: a dry, fine mist that makes a finished blowout or curl set look glassy without the heaviness of a serum. Because it also calms flyaways and filters UV, one spray covers shine, a bit of frizz control and colour care in the last ten seconds of styling.

• Use on dry hair only.
• Hold 10 to 12 inches from hair and spray from mid-lengths to ends for a glossy finish.
• For finer hair types, mist onto hands and run through hair from mid-lengths to ends.

Safety: extremely flammable aerosol. Contents under pressure; do not puncture, incinerate or store above 49°C/120°F. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Avoid contact with eyes. Keep out of reach of children.

Pros

• Very high shine from a light, non-greasy mist
• Also tames frizz and flyaways
• UV filters help keep colour vibrant

Cons

• A finishing spray only: no hold and no heat protection
• Aerosol: extremely flammable, keep away from heat and flame
• Fine hair needs a light hand, applied through the palms
