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

Good. Not great.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s good. Not great. I love this line generally (the leave in is fabulous) but this was just ok. Felt like it may have weighed my hair down a bit more than I’d like. Scent is great and the shine seems pretty effective. Just ok for me.

A must buy!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the latest and greatest addition to my hair care routine. Whenever I don’t use this I notice my hair doesn’t feel or smell as good and the shine it adds is deff worth it for the price and value.

Doesn't cut drying time
I really like the Kristin Ess brand and this seems like a great leave in. But it doesn’t do anything for me to cut drying time.

Better in natural hair
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Kristin Ess Blow Dry Mist is definitely worth the price. The scent is light and clean—not overpowering. I love how fine the mist is, making it easy to distribute evenly through damp hair. It adds noticeable smoothness and shine while cutting down on drying time. My hair feels softer without any heavy residue. The packaging is sleek and looks great on my shelf, plus the spray nozzle works really well. Highly recommend if you want a heat protectant that actually performs!

Shine, protection and more!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A blow drying mist that has heat protectant! I was excited to use and after a whole month of use, I can honestly say it helps my hair get less damaged. I liked how it gave it a great shine and took away the dullness I once had. It’s now my go to especially after a shower and need to quickly blow dry. The scent of this product is very minimal almost mute, which I personally appreciate.

Leaves hair shiny and smooth

Great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] absolutely love the Kristin Ess Blow Dry Mist! It’s super lightweight and doesn’t leave my hair feeling greasy or weighed down, which is a huge plus. I noticed it really does cut down on drying time, and my hair feels smoother and shinier after blow-drying. It also helps tame frizz and makes my ends look healthier, almost like I just left the salon.
