These recent launches are all ready to give your client --or you-- vacation-ready hair and skin. With innovative delivery systems (meet a dry hair mask and dry oil hairspray) and unique ingredients (the humble tomato, the hydrating hyaluronic acid) these hair care products offer frizz control, humidity protection, and hydration.
KMS HairStay Range Gets a Refresh — and a Game-Changing New Dry Oil Hairspray
KMS Hair has updated its much-loved HairStay finishing range with new formulas enriched with upcycled tomato, a powerful antioxidant that shields hair from UV rays and environmental stress. Alongside these updates, the brand is launching the HairStay Dry Oil Hairspray — a lightweight, flexible-hold finishing spray that delivers touchable control, lasting frizz protection, and a healthy dose of shine.

Designed to work on any hair type or style, the new Dry Oil Hairspray combines a soft, hydrated finish with up to 72 hours of humidity resistance. It’s completely versatile — the kind of product you can mist on for sleek, polished looks or use to give loose waves a smooth, frizz-free edge.
What's Different
The Dry Oil Hairspray offers light, flexible hold that’s easy to brush through, restyle, and refresh. It seals in moisture to help reduce split ends, adds up to twice the shine, and hydrates weightlessly so hair stays supple instead of crunchy.
Protection is another strong suit — the formula controls frizz and shields against humidity for up to three days, while also guarding against environmental damage.
The Power of Upcycled Tomato
Ad Loading...
Every product in the updated HairStay range now benefits from KMS Hair’s newest ingredient innovation: upcycled tomato extract. Sourced from leftover tomato skins from Italian sauce production, the peels are broken down to release micronutrients and antioxidants that form a protective shield around the hair. This ingredient helps keep styles intact while reducing waste and supporting a more sustainable beauty industry.
The HairStay Lineup
The refreshed range includes:
NEW HairStay Dry Oil Hairspray – flexible hold, hydration, shine
HairStay Firm Finishing Hairspray – strong, lasting hold
HairStay Working Hairspray – buildable control for styling and setting
HairStay Anti-Humidity Seal – maximum frizz and moisture barrier
All deliver up to 72 hours of hold and humidity protection without flaking, in fast-drying formulas that work for all hair types.

Sustainability & Style
With packaging reduced by up to 15%, vegan and PETA-approved formulas, and CO₂-compensated production, the updated HairStay range balances performance with planet-friendly practices. The products also feature a crisp lime, mint, and fruit fragrance that leaves styles smelling as fresh as they look.
From IGK Hair, this innovative dry hair mask works while you sleep—no washing or rinsing required. The overnight treatment is powered by bond-building technology to help repair and strengthen hair from the inside out, plus vegan silk proteins to smooth and soften. Perfect for summer-exposed strands, it absorbs quickly without residue, so you can apply it before bed (or any time) and wake up to healthier-looking, shinier hair. Key Benefits: Repairs, softens, and strengthens while you sleep; no need to rinse; smooth finish without buildup. Perfect For: Damage repair without downtime, busy schedules, and post-sun hair revival. Available at igkhair.com and professional salons.
