Follow Grazia on Google. I’ll be the first to admit that my hair has required more than just a little TLC in the past few months. What can I say? I’m just a girl. As a beauty editor, I’m lucky enough to have a lot of great products at my disposal. I've recently cut my hair and decided to ease up on my highlights, too (sob) so what better time to begin collating a routine that truly focuses on my hair health? There’s the K18 Hair Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask, £30, known to repair broken bonds, the Pureology Strength Cure Shampoo and Conditioner, £52.50, a dream duo for restoring brittle strands and the OGX Damage Remedy+ Coconut Miracle Oil, £8.99, which protects frayed ends. And, of course, copious amounts of heat protectant for the rare occasion when I do allow low heat to touch my hair - the Dyson Airstrait only, just FYI. The one thing my newly streamlined routine was missing however, was a do-it-all leave in product - a single post-shower spritz that would detangle, hydrate, condition, volumise, and de-frizz. Which is where Color Wow’s brand new Money Mist comes in.
Ideal for repairing damaged hair
Ideal for repairing damaged hair. Made using a cocktail of powerful ingredients, just a light misting acts as a multi-purpose wonder. When I say it's everywhere, I really do mean it's everywhere - its advertising strategy errs a little on the aggressive side, to say the least. That said, I really rate the products. I’ve tried several including the Color Wow Money Masque, £39.50 and the Color Wow Extra Strength Dream Coat, £15, and have been consistently impressed at how they’ve made my hair feel and look. They’re science-backed too, so consider me more than just a little intrigued by this newest launch.
How does the Color Wow Money mist work? According to the press release (which I've really scrutinised) the Money Mist can 'adjust to an individual fibre’s needs because of the diversity of size, molecular weight and type of ingredients found in the formula.' This means that each hair fibre is flooded with the exact level of peptides, hydration and conditioning it needs to strengthen, moisturise and smooth texture. There's Color Wow's proprietary Baolyzed Amino Acid Complex to thank for that, created by renowned chemist Dr. Joe Cincotta. It's this complex that penetrates the hair shaft easily, helping to reinforce the hair from the inside out. The results? Nourished, more hydrated, and, ultimately, more expensive-looking hair.
How to use Color Wow Money Mist
It's simple. After washing, I'll spritz a liberal amount through my lengths and ends. It's a leave-in conditioner, working to hydrate and detangle, allowing for me to comb through my hair much more easily. I'll then blow dry as usual and, trust me when I say I'll see a marked difference in the look and texture of my hair on the days I use it. One misting is enough to make my dry hair look moisturised while any frizz is minimised instantly. It's impressive stuff.
Color Wow Money Mist: Our Honest Review. The Money Mist has become a staple part of my new hair repair ritual. It may be £30, but trust me when I say its worth its salt. When it comes to hair struggles, I've been pretty lucky throughout my life. In terms of hair type and texture, I've always had naturally wavy, manageable hair, for which I'm grateful. But, no matter what I've tried-smoothing shampoos, hair oils, serums, overnight treatments, masks, you name it-the one hair issue I've never been able to beat is frizz. In fact, one of my earliest memories of embarrassment was when my third grade teacher called me over to her desk and asked to put lotion in my hair to "smooth the frizz." I was nine!
If there is one product on the market that I would venture to say has revolutionized the world of "glass hair" and movie-star level shiny strands, it's Color Wow's Dream Coat ($28). From Kim Kardashian to Hailey Bieber to fans, influencers and everyone in between, users can't get enough of Color Wow's hair-smoothing formulas. That being said, when I decided to give my journey to frizzless hair another try, Color Wow was the first place I looked. After just one use of their new Money Mist Hydrating Leave-In Conditioner ($29), I knew I'd finally defeated my frizz once and for all.
Color Wow Money Mist: What It Is. Color Wow's Money Mist is the latest addition to the brand's arsenal of hair-loving styling products. After years of rigorous research and development, Money Mist's formula passed the test of being a frizz-reducing formula suitable for all hair types thanks to the brand's innovative Adaptive Technology, which simultaneously provides heat protection and UV defense while detangling, reducing breakage, strengthening, moisturizing and defrizzing for the silkiest, smoothest hair of your dreams.
Whether I'm air drying or using a hot tool or blowdryer, I feel like my hair always ends up looking puffy and brittle after styling, even if I used a curated concoction of treatments beforehand. I was immediately drawn, as a result, to the multitasking power of Color Wow's Money Mist, and I knew if the great minds behind the transformative Dream Coat were at work here too (they were) that this would be a no-brainer.
How It Works: One of my main issues with any styling products I've used before that promise silky, satiny strands is that the formula weighs down my hair and makes it feel greasy and flat, but you can tell immediately from the way that Money Mist sprays that that is not the case. With each spray, the lightweight formula penetrates and coats the hair follicles in an ultra-fine mist that sprays out evenly and easily, making application a breeze. Within the lightweight formula, though, Adaptive Technology is working magic on each individual strand, as the mist adjusts to each fiber’s needs based on the diversity of size, molecular weight and type of ingredients found in the formula. At the same time, each fiber is nourished with a precise level of peptides, providing intense hydration and conditioning, thus strengthening, moisturizing and smoothing texture all at once.
Color Wow Money Mist Before and After. If the science-backed, years-in-the-making formula wasn't enough to convince you, let the pictures speak for themselves. To get this shiny, red carpet-ready hair that I long thought perpetually out of reach, all I did was section off my hair after washing and towel drying and mist each layer with the product before combing it through to ensure even distribution, and blowdrying as normal.
