How To Use BBLUNT Hot Shot Finish Spray for Radiant Shine Correctly

BBLUNT Hot Shot Finish Spray is a shine-boosting finishing spray from the BBLUNT hair colour and styling range that adds a radiant, glossy sheen to any finished style. A light mist over the completed look seals the cuticle surface and amplifies the hair's reflectivity, turning a good blowout, a set of curls, or a sleek straight style into something that looks polished and camera-ready. The 200 ml can is NABL tested and patch tested. This guide covers the complete application process for the Finish Spray and how to use it for the best shine result across different hair types and styles.

Before You Begin

Shine finish sprays work on the outer surface of the hair cuticle, so the condition of that surface before spraying determines how good the result looks.

• Finish the style completely before picking up the spray. Hot Shot Finish Spray is a finishing product. It enhances a style that is already shaped and set. Apply it after blow drying, straightening, curling, or air drying, not partway through the process.
• Smooth the hair before spraying. Straighten frizzy sections, smooth down flyaways, and ensure the surface of the hair is as flat and even as possible. Shine spray reflects light from whatever surface it lands on, so starting with a smoother surface gives a more polished result.
• Apply a heat protectant before any heat styling. If the style involves a blow dryer, straightener, or curling tong, use a dedicated heat protectant at that stage. The Finish Spray is not a heat protectant and should only be applied after the style is done and the hair has cooled.
• Shake the can gently before use to redistribute the formula and ensure the nozzle delivers a consistent fine mist from the first burst.
• Use in a ventilated space away from open flames or heat sources. The product is aerosol-based.

How To Use: Step by Step

1. Complete and settle the style on dry hair Finish the full styling process before reaching for the Finish Spray. Blow dry, curl, straighten, or air dry as usual, smooth flyaways, and set the parting and shape. The spray is applied over the completed look, not during it.
2. Shake the can gently Give the can a few gentle shakes to ensure the formula and propellant are well mixed. This helps the spray deliver a fine, even mist from the start rather than a coarser, uneven spray on the first burst.
3. Hold the can 25 to 30 cm from the hair Position the nozzle 25 to 30 cm (about 10 to 12 inches) from the surface of the hair. This distance produces the fine mist that gives even coverage and a clean shine finish. Closer than this concentrates the product and can leave the hair looking oily; further reduces the amount of product that reaches the hair.
4. Spray in short, even sweeping bursts across the style Use two to three short bursts, moving the can in a broad sweeping motion over the outer surface of the hair. Aim to cover the top and sides of the style evenly. Avoid holding the nozzle in one spot. For longer hair, sweep the can from roots toward the ends in smooth passes to coat the full length.
5. Allow the spray to dry fully without touching Leave the hair completely undisturbed for 30 to 60 seconds after the final burst. The shine formula needs a moment to settle evenly on the hair surface and dry to a smooth, light film. Running fingers through or brushing the hair while the spray is still wet redistributes the product unevenly and reduces the overall shine effect.
6. Assess and add a second light mist only if needed Once the first application has dried, check the finish in the mirror in both natural and indoor light. For a deeper, more mirror-like shine on very thick or matte-textured hair, one additional short burst adds more reflectivity without risking over-application. Allow the second layer to dry fully as well before touching.
7. Refresh mid-day with a single targeted burst if needed If the shine has faded through the day, a single short burst over the outer surface of the style refreshes the finish. Keep reapplication light. Repeated layers of product through the day can eventually dull the shine rather than boost it once enough residue has built up on the surface.

Best Uses for Hot Shot Finish Spray

Hot Shot Finish Spray is the right product for a wide range of styles and finishing needs. Here are the situations where it makes the most difference.

• Blowouts: The most natural fit for a shine spray. Mist lightly over a finished blowout to amplify the smoothness achieved with the brush and make the style look freshly done for longer. The spray also adds a layer of humidity resistance that slows frizz from creeping back into a blow-dried style.
• Straight styles: A full light mist after straightening adds high-gloss finish that makes the straightening result more visible and dramatic. Apply after the plates have been used and the hair has cooled.
• Curls and waves: A shine mist over defined curls or waves gives them a healthy, dimensional look. Curly and wavy textures sometimes look dull when fully dry, and the Finish Spray restores a lively, glossy quality to the surface of each strand without disrupting the curl pattern.
• Colour-treated hair: The colouring process can reduce the hair's natural surface smoothness and light reflectivity. A finish spray mist restores the glossy appearance that freshly coloured hair has and helps the depth and tone of the shade read more vividly.
• Before photographs or video: Hair that looks good in natural light often looks flat under studio lighting or on camera. A shine spray applied before photographs intensifies the light-reflective quality of the hair and makes the style more visible on screen.

Preventing Build-Up Between Washes

Finish sprays used regularly can build up on the hair surface over time, which paradoxically dulls the shine they are meant to add. Build-up creates a rough, uneven film on the cuticle rather than the smooth reflective layer that gives shine. A few habits keep this from happening.

• Wash the hair thoroughly at the end of each day that styling products have been used. A good lather and full rinse removes the coating left by the finish spray and any other styling products layered over it.
• Use a clarifying or deep-cleansing shampoo once a week to strip cumulative residue that regular shampoo does not fully remove. A clarifying wash restores the clean, smooth surface that makes shine spray work at its best.
• Apply the Finish Spray only on the mid-lengths and ends for everyday use, keeping the roots clear. This extends the look without over-coating the areas that build up product the most quickly.
• Avoid layering the Finish Spray over other heavy or oil-based styling products in the same session. On an already-coated surface, the spray has less clean hair to bond to and the shine effect is reduced.

The Product

Conclusion

BBLUNT Hot Shot Finish Spray adds a radiant, glossy shine to any completed style in seconds. Apply it as the very last step on dry, fully styled hair, hold the can 25 to 30 cm away, and use short sweeping bursts to cover the full surface evenly. Allow the spray to dry without touching the hair, and add a second light layer only if the texture or thickness of the hair needs it. Used consistently with a good wash routine to prevent build-up, the Finish Spray keeps the hair looking polished, reflective, and freshly done every day.
