Pop & Lock High Gloss Finish from Color Wow is a silicone serum that adds extra shine to dry, frizzy hair. The lightweight formula combines the care of an oil with the shine of a serum in a single product. You can use Pop & Lock High Gloss Finish on wet hair after washing, or as a final step on dry hair.
It suits every hair type: straight, wavy, curly and coily, especially dry hair that frizzes easily. The thin layer it forms around each strand smooths rough, split ends and makes them less noticeable.
Who is Pop & Lock High Gloss Finish for?
If your hair is coloured or dull, Pop & Lock High Gloss Finish adds shine straight away. The serum doesn't weigh hair down, and you only need a few drops. Whether you use it after washing or as a final styling step, the formula leaves hair smoother and glossier either way.
How do you use Pop & Lock High Gloss Finish?
There are two ways to use Pop & Lock High Gloss Finish. On wet hair, rub a few drops between your palms and work them evenly through your hair, paying extra attention to the lengths and ends. Then carry on styling as you normally would.
On dry hair, rub a few drops between your palms in the same way and smooth them lightly over the hair. This gives a frizz-free, glossy, polished finish as a final step after styling. Use Pop & Lock High Gloss Finish every time you wash or style your hair.
Active ingredients
Cyclopentasiloxane, Phenyl Trimethicone and Dimethiconol. These are silicones: ingredients that form a thin layer around each hair strand. That layer reflects light, which makes hair look glossier, and smooths the hair cuticle, which visibly reduces frizz.
Mica and Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891). Mica is a fine, shimmering mineral, and Titanium Dioxide is a white pigment. Together they give the formula the pearl-like sheen that shows up on your hair as soon as you apply it.
Ethylhexyl Salicylate. A UV filter in the formula. This ingredient absorbs part of the sunlight before it reaches the hair strand, which helps protect hair colour from the effects of UV radiation.
Propylene Glycol and Hexylene Glycol. Moisture-regulating ingredients that hold moisture in the hair strand. They also keep the formula itself light, so you can spread it through your hair easily with just a few drops.

Frequently asked questions
Do you use Pop & Lock High Gloss Finish on wet or dry hair?
You can use Pop & Lock High Gloss Finish on both. On wet hair, work a few drops through your hair before styling. On dry hair, smooth a few drops lightly over your hair as a final step for a frizz-free, glossy result.
What is the difference between Pop & Lock High Gloss Finish and Money Mist?
Pop & Lock High Gloss Finish is a leave-in serum. You work it through wet or dry hair by hand, for instant shine and a frizz-free finish. Color Wow Money Mist is a spray you use on damp hair, right after washing and before styling. It leaves hair stronger and glossier with less breakage. Both are described in the product information as offering protection against heat and UV radiation, each at a different point in your routine.
Does Pop & Lock High Gloss Finish protect against heat or UV radiation?
The product information mentions protection against heat, UV radiation and colour fading. The ingredient list includes Ethylhexyl Salicylate, a UV filter that contributes to protection against UV radiation.
