Anyone whose finished style looks flat or dull and who wants a quick boost of shine without extra hold. Paul Mitchell lists it for all hair types.

It is particularly useful on sleek, blown-out or flat-ironed styles, where shine shows most, and as a final touch for stylists before a client leaves the chair.

Shine is often the difference between a style that looks finished and one that looks dry. A light silicone mist smooths the surface of the hair so it reflects light evenly, and the fine spray pattern means you can add gloss to the whole head without weighing it down or making it look wet. It's a quick last step that makes blow-dries and sleek styles look more polished.

1. Finish your style as usual.
2. Hold the can at a distance and mist lightly over the hair.
3. Add more where you want extra shine.

Use it as a final touch on any style. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame while spraying; the can contains flammable propellants.

The main strength is a fine, even mist that adds noticeable shine with a natural rather than greasy finish, and Paul Mitchell says it also helps protect hair during heat styling. It works on any hair type and adds no stiffness.

Keep in mind it offers shine rather than hold, so it won't fix a style in place. It is silicone- and alcohol-based, the brand gives no temperature rating for its heat protection, and as an aerosol it should be kept away from heat and flame while spraying.
