This lightweight styling spray is the key to a bouncy blow-dry, adding a flexible hold and glossy shine without weighing the hair down. Formulated with baobab protein and panthenol, this mist leaves strands feeling stronger and hydrated, whilst reducing the appearance of breakage. What's more, the spritz also boasts a sensory blend of rhubarb, honeysuckle and redcurrant.
McCall's hair stylist (and partner), Michael Douglas, posted a reel to his Instagram in which he shared an insight into Davina's haircare routine, before attending the National Television Awards on 11th September 2024.
The hairdresser first prepped McCall's locks with the Arkive Blow Dry Spray and Sebastian Professional's Potion 9, both which work to reduce the appearance of split ends, provide a flexible yet strong hold and offer a high-shine finish. Douglas then placed mdlondon's Radial 2 Round Brush underneath each strand of hair and rolled it towards the ends, following the brush with the brand's Blow Professional Hair Dryer to add volume, bounce and flick out the ends.
And voilá! That's quite simply all it took to create McCall's salon-worthy blow-dry finish. Stressing just how little time the red-carpet hair look took in the caption of the Instagram post, Douglas says: "It honestly took 5 mins to do her hair. Literally just a fringe blow out!"
