Anyone who blow-dries their hair regularly and wants to spend less time under the dryer, including people with colour-treated hair, since Oligo lists it as colour safe. It is a simple spray-and-comb product that works for home use and in the salon chair alike.

Oligo does not limit it to a specific hair type; it is a lightweight mist rather than a cream, which makes it an easy fit for most textures.

The main reason to reach for this mist is time. It is designed to make water leave the hair faster during the blow-dry, which Oligo puts at up to half the usual drying time, and it protects against heat and UV at the same time. For anyone who blow-dries several times a week, that combination means less heat exposure overall and a quicker routine without giving up protection.

Shake well before using. Mist evenly onto clean, damp hair, comb through to distribute, then blow dry and style as usual.

• Pro: Oligo states it can reduce blow-drying time by up to 50%.
• Pro: adds heat and UV protection in the same step, so there is one less product to apply before the dryer.
• Pro: listed as vegan, sulfate free and colour safe.
• Con: it is a prep mist, not a hold product, so you will still need a styling or finishing product if you want hold.
• Con: Oligo does not publish a full ingredient list for it online.
