The Secret to Glass-Like Shine

The Style Protect Shine Bright Taming Serum is formulated to address the surface texture of the hair. When hair is damaged or dry, the cuticle (the outer layer) lifts, which creates frizz and prevents light from reflecting. This serum works by smoothing that cuticle down.

Unlike heavy silicones that can build up and suffocate the hair, this cream-to-oil formula is surprisingly airy. It smooths frizz and flyaways instantly upon application, “gluing” split ends temporarily and taming the static that causes that halo effect. The result is hair that looks polished, vibrant, and incredibly healthy.

Ingredient Spotlight Nature Meets Science

This shine-enhancing serum relies on a blend of botanical oils and strengthening proteins to deliver results without compromising hair health.

Ingredient	Primary Function	Why Your Hair Needs It

Camelina Oil	Nourishment	Rich in Omega-3s, it hydrates and seals the cuticle to lock out humidity.
Vegetable Proteins	Strengthening	Penetrates the hair fiber to reinforce strength and prevent breakage from daily wear and tear.
AntiFade Complex®	Color Defense	A proprietary blend of antioxidants and full-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreens to keep hair color vibrant.

How to Apply for Best Results

Applying serum might seem straightforward, but technique is everything. Using too much or applying it to the wrong area can lead to oily roots. Here is how to master the application of the Style Protect Shine Bright Taming Serum.

Step 1: Less Is More

This formula is concentrated. Start with a pea-sized amount. You can always add more, but you cannot take it away without washing.

Step 2: Warm It Up

Rub the serum between your palms. This warms the oil, making it easier to spread evenly and activating the ingredients.

Step 3: Ends to Mid-Lengths

Focus your application on the ends of your hair, which are typically the driest and most damaged parts. Work your way up to the mid-lengths.

• Pro Tip: Avoid the scalp unless you have extremely coarse or dry textured hair.

Step 4: The Final Polish

Gently run your hands over the surface of your hair to tame any remaining flyaways. If you are battling serious frizz, pair this with a frizz-fighting wash routine like the Pureology Smooth Perfection Shampoo for a solid foundation.

Step 5: Combine for Customization

For extra hold with your shine, you can mix a drop of this serum with a styling gel or mousse before blow-drying.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Here are the answers to the most common questions about this shine serum.

1. Will this serum make my hair look greasy?

No, provided you use the correct amount. It is designed as a lightweight serum for frizz. Start with one pump (or less for fine hair), emulsify it in your hands, and focus on the ends.

2. Can I use this on fine hair?

Yes! Unlike heavy argan oils that can weigh fine hair down, the Coriander Seed Oil base is light enough for fine textures. Just remember to avoid the roots.

3. Is it safe for color-treated hair?

Absolutely. Like all Pureology products, it features the AntiFade Complex® to protect your hair color from fading, making it ideal for dyed hair.

4. Does it contain silicone?

It creates a silicone-like slip and shine using a blend of oils and smoothing agents, but it is free from heavy, insoluble silicones that cause buildup.

5. Can I use it on wet hair?

Yes. applying it to damp hair before blow-drying can help detangle and protect. However, it shines brightest (literally) when used as a finisher on dry hair.

6. Does it help with split ends?

While it cannot permanently repair a split end (only a haircut can do that), it temporarily seals the cuticle, making split ends appear smooth and invisible.

7. Is this serum vegan?

Yes, Style + Protect Shine Bright Taming Serum is 100% vegan and cruelty-free.

8. How does it compare to the Hydrate oils?

This serum is focused primarily on surface shine and taming flyaways. If you need deep internal hydration for very dry hair, you might look at the Pureology Hydrate Glow Catcher Hair Oil, but for finishing and polish, Shine Bright is superior.

9. Will it protect my hair from the sun?

Yes, the AntiFade Complex contains UV filters that help shield your hair from the sun’s damaging rays.

10. Can I use heat tools after applying this on dry hair?

It is generally best to use a dedicated heat protectant before using hot tools. This serum is best used after you have finished curling or straightening to break up the curls and add shine.

11. What does it smell like?

It features a sophisticated scent profile with notes of Tuberose, Almond Milk, and Cedarwood.

12. Does it work on curly hair?

Yes, it is excellent for breaking the “cast” of a gel on curly hair. Once your curls are dry, scrunch a little serum in to soften the hold and add bounce.

13. Is it good for gray hair?

Gray hair can often be coarse and wiry. This serum softens that texture and adds a beautiful silver shine, removing the dullness that sometimes affects gray hair.

14. How long does a bottle last?

Because you only need a pea-sized amount per use, a single bottle is incredibly long-lasting, often lasting users 6 months or more.

15. Can I mix it with other products?

Yes, “cocktailing” is encouraged. Mix it with the Pureology Strength Cure Superfood mask for an extra nourishing treatment, or with your leave-in conditioner for added slip.
