Vegan Finishing Spray with Strong, Brushable Hold and a Glossy Finish
REF Hold & Shine Spray N°545 is a finishing hairspray built around two acrylate film-formers — Octylacrylamide/Acrylates/Butylaminoethyl Methacrylate Copolymer and Acrylates Copolymer — that lock the finished style in place while staying brushable. A small silicone duo (Trimethylsiloxyphenyl Dimethicone plus a Bisamino PEG/PPG-41/3 conditioning silicone) lays the film down evenly for a glossy, non-matte shine, while Chenopodium Quinoa Seed Extract delivers the plant protein REF builds every formula around.
Why Choose It?
- Strong, layerable hold from a dual film-former system — Octylacrylamide/Acrylates + Acrylates Copolymer
- Glossy finish from Trimethylsiloxyphenyl Dimethicone and a conditioning silicone blend
- Brushes out cleanly — no flaking or sticky residue when the film is set
- 100% vegan and cruelty-free — quinoa seed extract used as the plant protein in place of animal keratin
- Sunflower (Helianthus Annuus) and quinoa seed extracts add cosmetic conditioning to the styling film
Best For
Anyone looking for a finishing hairspray that gives strong hold and visible shine without locking the hair into a stiff helmet — the film stays brushable and layerable. Suits straight, wavy and curly hair. Vegan formula, so it fits routines that exclude animal-derived ingredients.
Use as the final step of a styling routine on dry, already-styled hair.
- Finish styling first — blow-dry, iron or curl the hair as usual.
- Shake the can well before each use.
- Hold the can 20–30 cm from the hair.
- Spray in short bursts, moving along the head — sides, crown, ends.
- Let the film flash off for a few seconds before touching or brushing the hair.
- Layer additional passes if more hold is needed — the spray is designed to build.
Tips
- Pair with a heat protection spray so the hair is protected through the styling step that comes before the finishing spray.
- For a softer, brushable finish, hold the can further away — 30 cm or more — so the spray lands as a light mist rather than a wet coat.
- Layer in light passes rather than one heavy spray — the acrylate film sets better and the finish stays flexible.
- Avoid spraying near open flame and store the can away from direct heat — Alcohol Denat. and Dimethyl Ether are flammable.
