What is REF Ocean Mist No.303 designed for? It’s a mineral-rich sea salt spray that creates a natural, after-beach look with texture, workable body, and a matte finish, ideal for tousled, voluminous styles.
How does it benefit hair? Quinoa protein strengthens and protects hair structure, while sodium chloride and magnesium sulfate add texture and volume, and panthenol hydrates for a soft, non-sticky finish.
Is it suitable for all hair types? Yes, it works for all hair types, especially fine or flat hair needing volume and texture, though curly or thick hair can also achieve a defined, beachy look.
Is it vegan and cruelty-free? Yes, it’s 100% vegan and cruelty-free, formulated without animal-derived ingredients or testing, aligning with REF’s ethical standards.
Can it be used on coloured hair? Yes, the Colour Preserve System provides natural UV protection to reduce colour fade, making it safe and beneficial for colour-treated hair.
How long does the styling effect last? The texture and hold last until the next wash, typically 1-2 days, depending on hair type and environmental factors, with light hold for natural movement.
Does it make hair feel dry or sticky? When used sparingly, it leaves hair soft and fresh, but over-application can cause dryness or fluffiness, as noted by some users, so apply lightly.
Can it be used daily? Yes, it’s gentle enough for daily use, but 2-3 times per week is ideal to avoid potential dryness from salt and alcohol, especially on fine or dry hair.
Does it have a strong scent? It has a mild, fresh marine-like fragrance, described as subtle and pleasant, evoking a beach vibe without being overpowering.
Does it provide UV protection? Yes, ingredients like PEG-25 PABA and ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate offer UV protection, shielding hair from sun damage and free radicals.
