The Radiant Finishing Spray seals everything your wash and treatment routine has built in. By closing the cuticle as a final step, it locks in moisture, maximises shine, and prolongs the effect of every active you've applied. Think of it as the lid on your routine.

  • Seals the cuticle at the end of your routine for maximum retention
  • Enhances shine and colour vibrancy with each application
  • Controls flyaways without adding weight or stiffness
  • Argan Oil — Cuticle sealing, deep shine, colour vibrancy enhancement
  • Vitamin E — Antioxidant protection against UV and environmental damage
  • Aloe Vera — Light moisture, scalp soothing, reduces static

Shake gently. Hold 6–8 inches from hair. Mist evenly over styled hair. Use as the final step in your routine — after moisturiser and serum. Can be used for mid-day refresh.

Free standard shipping on all US orders over $50. Free returns within 30 days.

The routine

Use it your way.

01
Shake well first
Always shake the bottle before use. This distributes the absorbent particles evenly and ensures consistent application from first pump to last.
02
Apply to the root
Lift sections of hair and apply 6–8 inches from the scalp. Focus on the roots where oil accumulates — not the lengths or ends.
03
Massage and wait
Massage gently with fingertips for 30–60 seconds, then wait 1–2 minutes before brushing. This gives the absorbent particles time to bind to oil and lift cleanly.
04
Brush through
Brush or tousle through your roots. For coily or curly textures, use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb. Finish with a light shake for volume and life.

What's inside

Nothing to hide.

A clean dry shampoo formula with no sulphates, no synthetic fragrance, no aerosol propellants, and no buildup. Just five naturally derived ingredients that refresh your hair without compromising it.

Tapioca Starch
Plant-derived
The primary oil-absorbing active. Ultra-fine particles bind to scalp oil and lift cleanly without leaving white residue, even on dark hair. Completely biodegradable.
★ Hero
Argan Oil
Morocco · Fair Trade
Counterbalances the drying effect of dry shampoos by maintaining the hair's natural lipid layer. Prevents the over-stripped feeling common with conventional dry shampoos.
★ Hero
Kaolin Clay
Naturally mined
Gentle clay that absorbs excess moisture and sebum while smoothing the cuticle surface. Adds softness and manageability to refreshed hair.
Active
Aloe Vera
Certified Organic
Soothes the scalp during use and maintains natural pH balance. Prevents the dryness and irritation that conventional dry shampoos can cause.
Active
Vitamin E
Plant-derived
Antioxidant protection that preserves bond integrity between washes, preventing the cumulative damage that builds up without regular cleansing.

Lab analysis · Hair strand microscopy

See what changes.

Participants submitted hair strands before and after their trial period for independent laboratory microscopy analysis. What you see below is the structural change — not a filter, not a retouch.

Before
<
"Hair shaft with surface residue and oil accumulation — typical of unwashed second-day hair."
After 2 weeks
"Clean smooth shaft with cuticle intact — oil absorbed, no structural disruption to bond integrity."

First dry shampoo that works on my hair type
I had given up on dry shampoo because everything left white powder on my dark coils. This one absorbs the oil, adds volume, and I cannot tell it is there. Two extra days between washes without compromise.

Actually refreshes rather than just covers
Most dry shampoos make my hair feel more dirty in a different way. This one genuinely absorbs oil and my roots look freshly styled. The pump applicator means I can be precise about where I put it.

My 5-day hair secret
I wash once a week and this gets me through days 3, 4, and 5. No white residue, no heaviness, no scalp irritation. Just fresh roots and volume every time.
