Description
Style Assist Blow Dry Mist
If you love a good blowout but wish it was less of a chore, this will be a game changer. It cuts down drying time, adds epic shine and protects against heat up to 450°F. Here are my two favorite ways to use it...
How to:
On wet hair for blow drying:
1. Apply a thin layer on detangled, towel dried hair before blow drying. (Yes, you can layer this on top of your Leave-In Conditioner!)
2. Blow dry using your favorite flat brush or round brush to create smooth, shiny, healthy looking hair.
On dry hair for thermal styling:
1. Hold the bottle 6” away from your hair and spray a thin layer on the section you want to heat style. I like to comb it through with my fingers or a comb for even distribution.
2. Use your curling iron, flat iron or any thermal hair styling tool to create your desired texture.
Tip: Go easy... a little goes a long way!
Contains Zip-Up Technology, our proprietary strengthening complex designed to "zip-up" split ends while targeting weak areas of the hair, smoothing the appearance of damaged cuticles and helping to protect hair from environmental stressors and color fade.
cruelty free | color + keratin safe
Free of sulfates, parabens + phthalates

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this blow dry mist! It definitely speeds up blow drying time and works as a heat protectant. It has a nice smell to it as well and gives my hair shine. I think the price is a good middle tier product that’s affordable and not poor quality. I’ve used this product multiple times and think it works great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kristin Ess Blow Dry Mist is a total game-changer! It cuts down drying time like crazy and leaves my hair feeling smooth, frizz-free. Plus, it smells amazing without being overpowering, nice scent. Definitely a must-have for anyone who blow dries their hair regularly! Feels like you’re spraying water on your hair.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was skeptical to use this product because I have fine hair and many products make my hair greasy! This product did not do that and I was SHOCKED! I’ve used it with wet hair and dry hair and I really liked it and my hair held nicely without being greasy. The packaging is sleek and I will for sure purchase this in the future!
Don't overspray it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product in exchange for my honest review. It's easy to use, and the bottle is comfortable to hold. The fragrance is a bit strong but wears off quickly. I noticed an improvement in shine and heat protection. I did not notice a lot in frizz reduction or the amount of time it takes to dry my hair. It did make it softer, and the formula is lightweight, provided you follow the instructions and do not overspray it.
Holds pretty well and a travel size!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In the mornings, my hair is super frizzy and messy. I like that this dry spray helps flatten the frizzy hair! The smell isn’t so intense either, it’s very light. It holds pretty well in heat, so that’s a plus. Love the small travel size bottles. Makes it easy and convenient to take on the go.
Pleasant smell

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Kristin Ess Blow Dry Mist for a while, and it really does cut my drying time in half. It leaves my hair smooth and shiny without feeling heavy—but if I spray too much, it can get a little greasy, especially near the roots. A few light spritzes go a long way!
Fights the frizz

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this blow dry mist on one of the hottest, most humid days in South Carolina! We are talking 115° heat index and 100% humidity. My hair is naturally wavy and prone to frizz, so I wasn’t expecting miracles, but this product seriously impressed me. Not only did it noticeably cut down my drying time, but it also kept my hair smooth and frizz-free all day long. No greasy feel, no crunch, just healthy-looking hair. The packaging is sleek and minimal, and a little goes a long way, making it a great value. If you struggle with frizz or live in a humid climate, this is a must-have in your haircare routine.
Soft, Shiny Hair Without the Damage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually avoid blow drying my hair because it tends to be dry, and I don’t want to risk more damage. But I gave this heat protectant a try and was pleasantly surprised! The mist is super fine, and the fragrance is light and non-irritating — I either became nose-blind quickly or it faded nicely. Even though it’s labeled as a “blow dry mist,” you can definitely use it with other heat styling tools too. I sprayed a light layer before blow drying, and my hair came out soft, smooth, and shiny. I’ve attached a photo so you can see the results! Best part? The price is incredibly reasonable for how well it works. Highly recommend!
Frizz-Free Finish & Faster Dry Time — Obsessed!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Kristin Ess Style Assist Blow Dry Mist for a few weeks now and I’m genuinely impressed. My hair tends to frizz and feel a little dry after blow-drying, but this mist has made a noticeable difference. It’s super lightweight, doesn’t weigh my hair down, and adds a nice smoothness and shine without any greasy residue. What I love most is how much faster my hair dries! I noticed at least a 25–30% reduction in dry time, which is a game-changer on busy mornings. Plus, the heat protection up to 450°F gives me peace of mind when I’m styling. The scent is light and fresh — not overpowering at all. You can see in my pic how sleek and soft my hair turned out after using this. Bonus points for the pretty bottle and fine mist application — it feels luxe! Highly recommend for anyone looking to speed up their blow-dry routine and get smoother results.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This hairspray is amazing ! I misted it on the morning after washing my hair. I followed by blow drying and the result was shiny and soft hair. The spray has a very slight scent and a little bit goes a long way. I will definitely get this again when I run out !
Just ok

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first Kristin Ess product I’ve tried, and after using it, I’m excited to explore more from her line. The blow dry mist is excellent—it sprays in a very fine mist and feels like a lightweight oil when applied. I personally love the scent; it’s subtle and not overpowering. It definitely helps reduce my hair’s drying time and leaves my hair super sleek. I’ve tested it on both wet and dry hair, and it works beautifully either way. It gives a smooth, blowout-style finish, and I’ve now made it a regular part of my routine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This spray is pretty good! I like to use it before I straighten my hair. I like the fact that you can use it on wet or dry hair. The scent is also really nice. I noticed that it did give my hair a bit of a shine but didn’t make it oily at all. The packs is very crisp and neutral.
Not CG, and not great for curls

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This made my 2b hair super shiny but it was also weirdly more frizzy and less wavy even though I did all my other styling the same way as usual. I don't normally use silicones (which this has -- no so CG method approved) but I thought I'd give it a try anyway. I think it would be good for some with straight hair but I don't think it's the product for me. It did smell really nice though and I still might use it if I'm straightening my hair for some reason.
Fantastic blow dry mist!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tend to use higher end hair budget items that have cleaner ingredients. This is an affordable price point but doesn’t do a ton for frizz control or quicker blowout. Smell is ok
