Style Protect Instant Levitation Mist
Achieving lasting volume can feel like a constant battle against gravity. You might leave the house with bouncy, lifted hair, only to find it has fallen flat by lunchtime. Many volumizing products promise the world but deliver crunch, stickiness, or a heavy residue that ultimately weighs hair down. The search for a product that provides genuine lift without the side effects can be exhausting.
Imagine a product that could give your roots an instant lift, providing airy body that lasts all day while also protecting your hair from heat and environmental damage. The Style Protect Instant Levitation Mist is that breakthrough. This innovative spray provides an immediate boost from the roots, creating up to 24 hours of weightless volume. It’s more than just a styling product; it’s a complete hair-lifting treatment.
This guide will break down how this unique menthol-infused formula works, how to use it for maximum effect, and why it’s becoming a holy grail for those seeking dramatic, touchable volume.
The Secret to Long-Lasting Lift
The Style Protect Instant Levitation Mist redefines what a volumizing spray can do. Unlike mousses that require heat activation or sticky root sprays, this is a lightweight mist that works instantly on damp hair. Its power comes from a unique combination of ingredients that create lift, provide hold, and care for the hair fiber.
The star of the show is its menthol-infused formula. This provides a cooling, tingling sensation on the scalp, which helps to stimulate the roots and lift them away from the head. This “levitation” effect is then locked in by flexible polymers that hold the volume in place for up to 24 hours without creating stiffness. It’s the perfect foundation for a powerful blowout or for adding life to air-dried styles.
Core Benefits You Can Expect
- 24-Hour Volume: Clinically proven to provide weightless body that lasts all day and night.
- Instant Root Lift: The menthol-infused formula creates an immediate lifting sensation and effect.
- Heat Protection: Doubles as a heat protection mist, guarding hair against damage from blow dryers and other styling tools.
- Color-Safe Formula: Features the exclusive AntiFade Complex® to protect your hair color from fading and dullness.
- Non-Sticky, Touchable Finish: Leaves hair feeling soft and natural, never crunchy or tacky.
Deconstructing the Menthol-Infused Formula
The innovation behind this weightless volume mist is its carefully selected blend of ingredients that work in synergy.
| Ingredient | Primary Function | Why It’s a Game-Changer |
|---|---|---|
| Menthol | Stimulation & Lift | Provides a cool, tingling sensation that invigorates the scalp and helps to lift the hair follicle at the root for an instant “levitating” effect. |
| Xylose | Heat Protection | A sugar-derived ingredient that forms a protective barrier on the hair shaft, shielding it from thermal damage during styling. |
| Vegetable Proteins | Strengthening | Reinforces the hair’s internal structure, reducing the risk of breakage from brushing and styling. |
| AntiFade Complex® | Color Preservation | A signature blend with antioxidants and UV filters to keep your color vibrant and prevent it from oxidizing. |
This combination ensures you are not just styling your hair, but also treating it. By including a heat protection mist directly in the formula, it streamlines your routine and guarantees your hair is safe.
How to Achieve Instant Levitation
To unlock the full potential of this volume-boosting mist, proper application is key. Follow these simple steps on clean, damp hair.
- Prep Your Hair: After washing with a volumizing product like Pureology Pure Volume Shampoo, gently towel-dry your hair until it’s about 60-70% dry.
- Target the Roots: Section your hair and spray the Style Protect Instant Levitation Mist directly onto the root area. Don’t be afraid to lift sections and spray underneath for maximum lift.
- Distribute Evenly: Mist a small amount through the mid-lengths and ends for all-over body and heat protection.
- Style for Volume:
- For a Blowout: Flip your head upside down and blow-dry, focusing the air at the roots to lock in the lift. Use a round brush to finish and smooth the ends.
- For Air-Dried Texture: After applying, you can scrunch your hair and let it air dry for a more natural, tousled volume.
- Finish Your Look: Once dry, your hair will have noticeable lift and body. Lock it in with a flexible spray like the Style + Protect Soft Finish Hairspray.
Real Customer Reviews What Users Are Saying
Looking at feedback for the Style Protect Instant Levitation Mist, several key themes emerge. Users consistently praise its effectiveness and unique feel.
- The Tingling Sensation: Many reviewers love the cool, refreshing feeling the menthol provides. They describe it as a sign that the product is “working” and invigorating their scalp.
- Unbelievable Volume: The most common praise is for the dramatic, long-lasting volume. Users with fine, flat hair report that it’s the only product that gives them lift that doesn’t fall by the end of the day.
- Truly Weightless: A major selling point in reviews is the lack of residue. People are thrilled that it delivers powerful results without making their hair feel sticky, crunchy, or dirty. One user noted, “It gives my hair the body of a mousse without any of the grit.”
- Great for Fine Hair: Customers with fine hair call it a “miracle product,” noting that it adds fullness and body without weighing their delicate strands down.
Some feedback mentions that a little goes a long way, and over-spraying can make hair feel slightly textured, so starting with a light application is recommended.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Here are the answers to the most common questions about this revolutionary volumizing mist.
1. Is the menthol sensation very strong?
The menthol-infused formula provides a noticeable cooling and tingling feeling on the scalp, which most users find pleasant and refreshing. It is not overpowering and subsides after a few minutes.
2. Does this product actually provide 24 hours of volume?
Yes, it has been tested to provide significant volume and lift that lasts for up to 24 hours, making it ideal for long days or events.

No. It is a weightless volume mist designed to leave hair soft and touchable. When used correctly, it provides hold without any sticky or crunchy residue.
4. Can I use this on dry hair?
It is formulated for use on damp hair before styling. Applying it to dry hair may not provide the same lifting effect and could result in an undesirable texture. For dry hair refreshing, a product like the Style Protect Refresh & Go Dry Shampoo is a better choice.
5. Does this product contain alcohol?
It may contain cosmetic-grade alcohols that help the product dry and set, but they are part of a balanced formula with conditioning agents to prevent drying out your hair.

7. Is it safe for color-treated hair?
Absolutely. Like all Pureology products, it includes the AntiFade Complex® to help protect your hair color from fading, making it a perfect choice for colored hair.
8. How is this different from a mousse?

9. Will it weigh down my fine hair?
No, this product is a dream for fine hair. It’s engineered to be lightweight, providing lift and body without the heaviness that can cause fine hair to go flat.
10. Can I use this if I have a sensitive scalp?
While the formula is gentle, menthol can be stimulating. If you have a known sensitivity, it’s always best to perform a patch test first.
11. What does the Instant Levitation Mist smell like?
It features an aromatherapy blend of Tuberose, Almond Milk, and Cedarwood, leaving your hair with a light and sophisticated fragrance.
