Step 2 · The build
Not Your Mother's
Partial credit means the part only partly matches that standout.
The 100 points
We split Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray Strong Finish into 3 standout parts. Each bar shows what the build earns.
Film-formers and polymers (Va/Crotonates/Vinyl Neodecanoate Copolymer, Octylacrylamide/Acrylates/Butylaminoethyl Methacrylate Copolymer, Aminomethyl Propanol) give hold, set and heat or humidity resistance.
Oils and butters (Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Hydrogenated Olive Oil Unsaponifiables, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate) soften the hair and seal in moisture.
Silicones add slip and shine and help cut combing damage. PEG-12 Dimethicone do that here.
Optional
69 / 100. We have not found a shelf product that closes more of the gap yet.
