I have several clients that are looking for a hair spray by Paul Mitchell or other companies that is truly alcohol free, paraban free, vegan and sulfate free and is not tested on animals. Will Paul Mitchell be coming out with an alcohol free version in the very near future in a workable flexible styling spray, and also an alcohol free version in a firm or extra firm finishing spray? Also many clients are searching for alcohol free styling mousse or gels.

Since this is a hairspray as well as heat protection to be used on dry hair, can it be used on a daily basis without washing in between? Or will the product cause a tacky buildup over time? For reference, I wash my hair once a week, but heat-style it daily. I'd like to protect my dry hair from the flat iron, but don't want to wash it more frequently than I already do.

Best Thermal Styling Product I've Tried So Far!!!

After reading some reviews, I decided to give this a try. This is a great product to protec...

I used to love this spray, scent was lovely. New can just plain stinks!! I can't stand smell. I would have never bought if I new they changed the scent. I can't return, stuck with it. Have to search for replacement brand now. Very disappointed.
New Heat Styling Staple!
I was beyond impressed with this spray. I tried wand curls on my blown out 4b hair for the first time and used this. Not only does it serve as a heat protectant but the flexible hold with little to no crunch is perfection!

This is a light weight hairspray designed with a heat protectant in it. However, I cannot get past the horrible smell. I know everyone is different but John Paul Mitchell please work on the fragrance of this product. Makes me gag when I use it because it smells like a wet, dirty dog.
Love it
