Why Hairspray is the Perfect Setting Spray (For Your Hair!)

Let’s be honest—when you’ve spent time perfecting your hairstyle, you want it to last. Just like setting sprays keep your makeup fresh, the right hairspray can lock in your look and give you that just-styled finish, even hours later.

• Lock It In: Think of it like the final touch that seals your style, reduces frizz, and adds shine. THE VEIL and THE MASTERYaren’t just about hold—they’re about keeping your hair touchable, soft, and shiny while still staying in place.
• All-Day & Night Hold: Whether you’re rocking a sleek bun, bouncy curls, or beachy waves, the party season demands hairstyles that can go the distance. With holiday gatherings, dinners, and late-night dancing, you need hairsprays that work just as hard as you do!

THE VEIL: Lightweight Hold for Effortless Styles

Meet THE VEIL, your go-to for a soft, natural hold that keeps your hair in place while still looking touchable. It’s the ideal way to achieve that trending ‘undone’ look that’s all over your feed. This isn’t your average hairspray - its perfect for you if you love soft, natural styles that still need a bit of control. 

We know you want to treat your hair with the same love as your skin. That’s why we’ve packed THE VEIL with scalp-friendly ingredients like baobab oil to boost shine and moisture.

• Perfect For: Achieving that ‘I woke up like this’ look, taming flyaways, and adding a touch of gloss to your ponytail or loose waves. It’s a lightweight, versatile spray that aligns with the trend of multi-tasking products—perfect for those who want effortless, healthy-looking hair.

Pro Tip: After curling your hair, mist with THE VEIL to lock in those soft, bouncy waves without any stiffness. 

THE MASTERY: Long-Lasting Hold for Bold Styles

Now, if you’re looking for serious staying power, THE MASTERY is your go-to. It’s all about keeping your hair looking just as good at the end of the night as it did when you first styled it.

• Perfect For: Structured styles like sleek updos, voluminous blowouts, or bold curls. Whether it’s an all-night party or a long workday, THE MASTERY will keep your hair exactly where you want it.

Pro Tip: If you’re heat-styling, layer THE MASTERY for an extra boost. Start with a light mist, let it set, and go in with another spritz. It’s perfect for keeping that ‘90s blowout trend’ alive—think big hair with loads of volume.

Trending Hairstyles & Styling Tips for the Season

With the festive season upon us, there’s no better time to experiment with styles that not only look fabulous but also last all night. Here’s how you can use THE VEIL and THE MASTERY to master the season’s hottest trends and keep your hair looking on point, no matter the occasion.

1. Glass Hair: Sleek, Shiny, and Totally On-Trend

If you’re all about that smooth, mirror-like shine that’s taken over Instagram, Glass Hair is your go-to look. It’s all about creating a sleek, polished finish with zero frizz.

• How to Achieve It: Start by blow-drying your hair with a round brush to get that smooth base. Once you’re done, spritz THE VEIL lightly over your hair to seal in that shine and control any flyaways. The lightweight formula ensures your hair remains soft and touchable without weighing it down.
• Pro Tip: For an ultra-sleek look, finish off by running a straightner through your hair in small sections. Mist THE VEIL again for that glassy finish and extra shine. It’s perfect for holiday dinners, chic office parties, or just whenever you want to feel effortlessly glam.

2. ’90s Blowouts: Big, Bouncy, and Full of Volume

We’re seeing a major comeback of the ‘90s-inspired blowout, and we are here for it! Think big, bouncy hair with lots of volume, body, and movement. It’s the perfect look if you want to channel that glamorous, confident vibe this party season.

• How to Achieve It: After washing your hair, apply a volumising mousse to damp strands. Blow-dry using a round brush, focusing on lifting your roots to create that signature volume. Once styled, lock it in with THE MASTERY. This will give you that extra hold without sacrificing softness.
• Pro Tip: Want to take it up a notch? Use large Velcro rollers after blow-drying and let them set while you finish getting ready. Once you take them out, mist with THE MASTERY for all-night hold. You’ll be turning heads at every holiday party, guaranteed!

3. Tousled Texture: Effortlessly Undone Waves

For those days when you want that ‘I woke up like this’ look but actually put in some effort, Tousled Texture is your best friend. It’s all about achieving those perfectly imperfect waves that feel casual yet chic.

• How to Achieve It: Start with dry hair and use a large-barrel curling wand to create loose waves, focusing on the mid-lengths to ends. Once done, spray THE VEIL all over for a soft hold that keeps your hair looking natural. Scrunch with your hands to add texture and break up the waves.
• Pro Tip: For extra volume and a bit of grip, flip your head upside down and give a quick spritz of THE MASTERY at the roots. This adds texture and helps those waves stay bouncy all night long. Perfect for a casual get-together with friends or a cosy holiday brunch.

4. Sleek Ponytails: Chic, Simple, and Always in Style

Nothing says timeless elegance like a sleek, pulled-back ponytail. It’s a go-to look for when you want to keep things simple yet sophisticated. Plus, it’s perfect for those moments when you’re rushing from work to a festive dinner. 

• How to Achieve It: Use a flat iron to smooth out your hair, then gather it into a low or high ponytail, depending on your vibe. Spray THE VEIL over your ponytail to keep it sleek and shiny, while taming any flyaways.
• Pro Tip: For that extra polished finish, take a small section of hair and wrap it around the base of your ponytail to hide the elastic. Finish with a light mist of THE MASTERY to ensure everything stays in place, even if you’re dancing the night away.

5. Retro Updos: Glamorous and Statement-Making

If you’re feeling extra festive, why not opt for a retro-inspired updo? Think voluminous buns, classic chignons, or beehive-inspired styles that add a touch of old Hollywood glamour to your holiday look.

• How to Achieve It: Start by backcombing the roots to create volume at the crown, then twist your hair into your desired updo. Use THE MASTERY to hold everything in place and smooth out any flyaways.
• Pro Tip: For a more modern twist, leave a few face-framing strands loose and curl them for a soft, romantic touch. Finish with THE VEIL for a touch of shine that makes your updo look effortlessly chic.

6. Day-After Waves: How to Refresh Second-Day Hair

Let’s face it, sometimes you just don’t have the time (or energy) to start from scratch. The good news? You can revive your day-old curls or waves in no time.

• How to Achieve It: Use a spritz of THE VEIL on your lengths to refresh and add shine without making your hair feel heavy. For extra volume at the roots, flip your head upside down and spray THE MASTERY directly at the roots. Give it a quick massage, and voilà—your style is good as new!
• Pro Tip: This trick works wonders for when you’re going straight from the office to an evening out. It’s your secret weapon for extending the life of your blowout or curls, all while keeping your hair looking fresh.
