Aveda Brilliant Medium Hold Hair Spray, 8.5 fl oz — Non‑Aerosol Pump, Anti‑Humidity & Shine

Aveda Brilliant Medium Hold Hair Spray is a 93% naturally derived, non‑aerosol finishing spray that adds shine, medium hold and humidity resistance to styles for all hair types.

This lightweight pump spray is formulated with plant-based extracts including black tea, certified organic chamomile, calendula and aloe to help lock styles in place while imparting glossy definition. The pump delivery avoids aerosols and disperses a controlled mist that builds hold without stiffness, and the Pure-Fume aroma blends jasmine, rose and clove for a layered botanical scent. It's designed for everyday use and leaves hair touchable with a natural-looking finish.

How does this spray control frizz and humidity?

The formula helps reduce the impact of humidity on styled hair by sealing the outer hair surface and smoothing flyaways to preserve shape and sheen. It creates a medium-strength barrier that maintains style integrity without forming a crunchy cast.

• Anti-humidity ingredients help resist moisture-induced frizz.
• Non-aerosol pump applies even mist for consistent coverage.
• Medium hold keeps movement while reducing stray hairs.
• Leaves a glossy finish rather than a matte or stiff texture.

Will it work with fine, thick, or chemically treated hair?

The spray is formulated for all hair types; you can adjust application distance and amount to match texture and porosity. Fine hair benefits from a light, distant mist to avoid weighing down, while thicker or textured hair can handle more direct layering for longer-lasting control.

• Fine hair: spray from 10–12 inches for light hold and shine.
• Medium to thick hair: layer brief pulses for added control.
• Color-treated or chemically processed hair: gentle, plant-derived ingredients help maintain finish without harsh synthetics.
• Use at roots to boost body or at ends to smooth and define shapes.

How do I apply and troubleshoot the pump nozzle?

Apply to dry hair from about 25–30 cm (10–12 inches) away, using short bursts to build the desired hold and shine. For root lift, lift sections and spray toward the scalp; for finishing, mist over the entire style to set and add luster.

• Pump nozzle dispenses controlled mist—no aerosol propellants.
• If the nozzle clogs, rinse under hot water and pump until flow returns.
• Layer in short sprays rather than one long blast for even coverage.
• Works well with heat styling and post-brush finishing techniques.

What ingredients give it natural origin and scent?

Most of the formulation is plant- or water-derived under ISO 16128 guidelines, including black tea, aloe and certified organic chamomile and calendula. The fragrance is a Pure-Fume blend that uses essential-oil-based aromatics like jasmine, rose and clove for a botanical bouquet without synthetic parfum.

• 93% naturally derived components (per ISO 16128).
• Key botanicals: black tea, chamomile, calendula, aloe vera.
• Scent profile created from natural aromatic sources (Pure-Fume).
• Formulated without parabens, phthalates, SLS/SLES, mineral oil, and other listed synthetic ingredients.

Who is this for: Aveda Brilliant Medium Hold Hair Spray suits anyone seeking a touchable, medium-strength finishing spray that tames humidity and adds shine without heavy residue. It's a practical pick for everyday styling—from quick touch-ups and root lift to finishing blowouts—especially for users who prefer plant-forward formulations, non-aerosol delivery and a botanical fragrance. Professionals and at-home stylists alike will appreciate the controlled pump action and versatile hold for varied textures and styling routines.
