For anyone who wants a finished style to stay put through the day without the stiff, helmet-like feel of a firm spray: blowouts, loose curls, waves and soft updos on any hair type. It's a good everyday spray for people who restyle or brush through during the day, and a reliable medium-hold option for stylists finishing clients who want movement.

Most people don't need maximum hold every day; they need a style to survive humidity and a long day while still looking and feeling like hair. JoiMist Medium is built for exactly that middle ground: enough grip to control frizz and flyaways, a clear flexible finish that can be brushed or re-shaped, and protection against humidity, heat and pollution that a basic hairspray doesn't offer.

Shake well. Hold the can 8 to 10 inches (20 to 30 cm) from dry, styled hair and mist evenly over the finished style. For more control, layer additional light passes rather than one heavy spray, or mist into the roots and scrunch for extra lift.

Pros:

• Medium, flexible hold that keeps movement in the style
• Dries clear without a tacky or stiff finish
• Helps control flyaways and frizz and resists humidity
• Adds thermal and pollution protection on top of hold

Cons:

• Level 6 hold won't lock in intricate updos or very heavy hair on its own; step up to JoiMist Firm or Power Spray for that
• Aerosol format, so it has to be used and stored away from heat and flame
