- Q
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.

Best Thermal Styling Product I've Tried So Far!!!
For quite some time, I've used another thermal spray prior to flat ironing my hair but never really fell in love with it because it always left my hair with a tacky feeling and flaky after using a flat iron. 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!
Cannot Get Past The Smell

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
