My favourite frizz-free styling spray is loved by A-listers – here’s why you need to try it

That's right, you guessed it. Color Wow's Dream Coat Supernatural Spray has seen a reduction in the sale, and I couldn't help but shout it from the rooftops. After all, it is the number one bestselling product in the hair sprays category... with one bottle of the styling spray selling every six seconds.

As someone with dry, wavy and frizz-prone hair, I never thought I'd be able to find a product that'd give me gorgeous, glass-like tresses. The spray claimed to be an award-winning, humidity-blocking and anti-frizz formula, which ticked every single one of my haircare concerns. But after many years of hearing it all, I honestly thought it was too good to be true.

Dream Coat has pulled in a whopping 84,000 reviews on Amazon, and fans of the product have even dubbed it 'magic in a bottle'. Kim Kardashian's own hairstylist, Chris Appleton, is also a fan of the renowned spray, commenting 'Dream Coat literally changes the texture of the hair... honestly, it's pretty wow'.

Listen, I've attended so many hair salons over the years that I've lost count. But, always wondered how they've managed to get my frizzy hair so ridiculously shiny. I always try and keep my eyes peeled to see what products they use. At one appointment, I noticed them using a bottle of the Dream Coat Spray, and that's how I knew it was a force to be reckoned with.

"As I may or may not have mentioned before... I struggle a lot with frizzy hair, given that my hair is naturally wavy. I've always found that despite smoothing my hair, styling serums leave my hair feeling too greasy. So, my hair never stays sleek, no matter what I do. That's where Dream Coat has become my ultimate hair saviour.

The formula is lightweight, invisible and totally weightless on your hair. The effects are fairly long-lasting and will honestly save you from any future bad hair days, just trust us on this one. You just spray it onto freshly washed, towel-dried hair, blow dry it with your favourite hairdryer and watch the magic happen.

I've been testing this product on and off for a few months, and I love it so much that I tend to save it for special occasions when I want to go all-out with hair styling. I'm about halfway through the bottle, and I purchased it sometime last year, so it does go the distance.

One thing to be mindful of is that the Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray is a heat-activated formula. Therefore, after using it, don't leave your hair to air dry - blowdrying is key here, and it really enhances the glassy hair effect.

My hairdryer of choice? I used the Revlon One-Step for shape, volume and bounce. I have layers, so I love adding some dimension with the two-in-one hairdryer and styling tool. All-in-all, would I say Dream Coat is a must-have purchase? For me, yes. And I will, without a doubt, be repurchasing it as soon as I run out."

Pros:

• Healthy-looking, shiny and sleek hair: After using Dream Coat on my hair, I could almost get away with looking like I'd had it professionally done at a salon. I absolutely loved the effect that it had, which is why it's a repeat purchase for me.

• A reduction in frizz: I can confidently say that it reduced the amount of frizz in my hair. The top layer of my hair still had the slightest amount of fluffiness, but I'll keep this in mind for when I apply next time, as I might have needed to apply more product to that area.

• Long-lasting anti-humidity power: Despite being caught in the rain and facing the humidity of a packed bar, my hair was in pretty good condition when the night eventually came to an end. When does that ever happen?

Cons:

• The pump applicator: Like another reviewer, we experienced an issue with the pump detaching from the packaging on a few occasions, but for us, this was easily pushed back into place, meaning that the spray still worked as usual.

• The packaging is a little bit bulky: Not entirely ideal for travelling and a little bit tricky for storage at times, as it can take up a bit of room in your bathroom given it being fairly wide. Travel-sized options are available, however, and the Dream Coat Supernatural Spray, 50ml is available to shop if you want a smaller option.

Final verdict

I appreciate that there are a variety of hair types who may have differing levels of success with this product. I've seen customer reviews who claim to have wavy hair like mine and have also praised Dream Coat, saying it's a brilliant product for taming frizz. However, reviewers with different hair types have also had a lot of great things to say about the styling spray - just check out the reviews.
