Our Take

Rated 4.6 stars from over 600 Ulta reviews, this protein-free leave-in spray from the Strength (purple) range is a lightweight protectant against the three things that do cumulative damage to colour-treated and heat-styled curls: UV exposure, heat, and environmental pollution. Non-greasy and quick-absorbing, it can go in before your leave-in on wash day, or be spritzed onto dry curls between washes without disrupting your existing style. If you colour your hair, spend significant time outdoors, or live in a city where pollution is a factor, this is the product to add when your curls start looking dull or feeling brittle despite a solid moisture routine.

How to Use

Apply to wet or damp hair after your leave-in conditioner on wash days. Spray the product throughout your strands, using the raking method for even distribution. Air dry or diffuse as usual. On non-wash days, apply to damp hair for protection against everyday aggressors.
