Among the hero products is Modern Hairspray – The Multi-Task Styling Mist a three-time sell-out success and loved backstage at fashion week by the likes of Gigi and Bella Hadid.

Providing hold and light texture plus heat protection up to 230ºC, the expert formula can be used with heat stylers such as straighteners or tongs to create long-lasting styles. Lightweight and buildable, it will give all party styles longevity and a high shine finish, but also easily brushes out at the end of the night or next day to rework your look. 

Modern Hairspray is my desert island hair product. It's the ultimate multi-tasker: it sets, styles, adds shine, volumises, creates texture, protects from heat styling damage, and so much more…

Modern Hairspray offers five benefits in one chic olive green package: 

FRIZZ FIGHTER – protecting your hair from the humidity which causes frizz
DAMAGE CONTROLLER – to save hair from the damaging effects of heated styling tools, which can cause breakage, colour fade and split ends
LASTING HOLD – for enduring styles
CURL SAVIOUR – set and hold heat-styled curls, waves and bends, so they last all night. Mist each section of your hair before you style with a tong
STATIC SHIELDER AND MANE TAMER – keep flyaways under control by lightly spraying and taming with a toothbrush
