Overview

People with permanent waves, curls or natural hair get a Design Essentials mist that adds light moisture and shine to dry, styled hair. It softens and boosts body without weighing curls down.

Refreshing dry curls and waves with shine but no buildup is the job here. It gives no hold, so definition depends on pairing it with the matching lotion or another styler.

Who it's for

Permanent waves, dry wave systems, curls and textured styles benefit from a light finishing mist. Those wanting strong definition alone should add a styling lotion.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Light moisture without buildup
  • Adds shine and softness
  • Free of mineral oil and petrolatum
Cons
  • Size not in the bullets
  • Needs a partner product for definition

Performance notes

A fine mist deposits light moisture over styled hair, softening dry curls and restoring shine without coating heavily. Because it is light, it does not flatten volume. Pairing with a defining lotion adds structure.
