Pureology Review: All the Reasons This Cult Leave-in Hair Treatment Changed My Life

If the best-selling Pureology Color Fanatic Multi-Tasking Leave-In Spray was a person, it'd be the overachiever.

You know, like that one girlfriend who seems to balance everything in her life effortlessly, without looking dishevelled or behaving unhinged?

That's the Pureology multi-tasking spray.

I've been bleaching my hair for years, so my cupboard is overflowing with strengthening hair products for coloured hair.

More often than not, it gets overwhelming and things go unused.

So when I first tried the Pureology Colour Fanatic Multi-Tasking Leave-In Spray back in the day, I was sceptical, because it talks a big game.

Instead of having five different hair products, the brand reckons you only need this one.

It says it does absolutely everything, from preparing the hair for heat styling, to shinifying the hair after.

(Someone, please add shinify to the dictionary if it isn't a real word.)

Spoiler: Pureology Color Fanatic Multi-Tasking Leave-In Spray has been my beauty bestie ever since I got my hands on it.

With 21 essential benefits in just one spray, it's a global best seller for many reasons.

What Is Pureology Colour Fanatic?

If you couldn’t tell by now, it is basically an all-in-one leave-in conditioning spray.

It works on both dry or towel-dried hair to prepare the hair for styling, protecting the hair from heat or environmental aggressors, and perfecting the hair.

Leaving hair looking glossy and feeling as soft as ever, it's unsurprisingly loved by everyone who uses it.

Light on the hair, it's formulated with nourishing ingredients like omega-3-rich camelina oil and olive oil to really soften and hydrate the driest of hairs.

This is why the hair feels immediately softer after using it.

The lingering scent it leaves behind is quite luxurious, a rose and floral ginger mix with a touch of cedarwood.

The 21 benefits are separated into 3 categories, prime, protect and perfect; all listed on the back of the bottle.

For those that don’t have the bottle, don’t stress!

Here they are:

• Helps preserve colour vibrancy.

• Excellent leave-in conditioner.

• Instantly detangles.

• Makes blow-drying easier.

• Moisturises parched hair.

• Helps smooth hair fibre.

• Weightlessly conditions.

• Primes hair for styling.

• Helps prevent split ends.

• Helps prevent breakage from brushing.

• Helps strengthen hair fibre.

• Protects against heat damage.

• Helps protect against external aggressors.

• Smooths out hair surface.

• Creates silkiness.

• Helps seal hair cuticles.

• Reduces dryness.

• Controls frizz.

• Reduces static.

• Refreshes hair for restyling.

• Adds shine.

How to Use Pureology Colour Fanatic.

How to use the Pureology colour fanatic multi-tasking leave-in spray will depend on what you use it for.

If you want to use it as a heat protectant:

Spritz it onto dry or towel-dried hair and style it as you wish.

As a detangler or leave-in conditioner:

Spray onto dry or towel-dried hair and let it work its magic.

As a finishing spray to enhance shine:

Simply spray after you finish styling.

The formula is concentrated and rich with oils, so I suggest spraying it once or twice at first, and then building it up if you feel like your hair needs extra.

See? So easy to use, it's literally foolproof.

My Pureology Color Fanatic Spray Review.

Like an assistant, the Pureology Color Fanatic Multi-Tasking Leave-In Spray has decluttered my cupboard and made my life so much easier.

I personally think they can add ‘hair perfume’ as a 22nd benefit.

The scent lingers and it's such a gentle fresh scent with a hint of spice.

If you love the smell of Aesop products, you’re going to enjoy this.

As for the effectiveness of the product, let's just say in these selfies and videos, my red colour hasn’t been touched up in over 3 months, and it still looks pretty good.

Thank goodness I have an appointment tomorrow, but with a spray that prolongs my colour like this one, it makes the time in between salon visits bearable.

Pureology Leave-In Conditioner Spray Reviews.

But that's enough from me, here are some Pureology leave-in spray reviews from our AB customers:

"This multi-tasking hair serum/lotion is great. It has a spray nozzle but I usually spray a few pumps into my palm and disperse through my hair with my hands, I feel like I waste it when I spray it directly. It leaves my fine hair soft, manageable and protected from heat styling. It also smells great." - Natasha.

"I love this leave-in spray, and so do my children - we all use it daily. I find it is an excellent detangler, particularly for longer lengths or kids. It does a great job of maintaining my colour and preventing fading. It also smells amazing." - Ally.

"I have been using this spray for years following a recommendation from my hairdresser. As soon as the bottle nears empty I repurchase without delay. This product absolutely has contributed to my long colour treated blonde hair remaining healthy and hydrated. I never apply heat to my hair without spraying this product onto my strands. If you're sceptical, l suggest reading up on the efficiency of this product and similar, as they help prolong colour, especially toners." - Andrea.

Is Pureology Color Fanatic Multi-Tasking Leave-in Spray for You?

I believe the Pureology Color Fanatic Multi-Tasking Leave-In Spray would be great for anyone with hair.

It can be used in so many ways and is overall an excellent product.

If you’re someone who frequently visits their hairdresser for a bleach sesh, like me, this is an absolute essential in your routine.

It protects your hair, makes it more manageable and on top of that smells like sexy flowers.

Trust me, this is good stuff.
