Free Shape, Quick Blow Dry.
Price- $31.95
This is actually my favorite out of all of the products. The idea is that it cuts down the time you spend blow drying, conditions the hair while also protecting it from heat. The best part? It actually works! I HATE blow drying my hair, I will do anything possible to avoid it. My hair dryer is heavy and with how long and thick my hair is it takes forever to do. Using this spray cut my drying time in half. After using it my hair felt silkier as well which is a big plus in my books. The formula is a two part thing which you shake to activate and then spray all over towel dried hair. It also smells quite nice, there’s a little hint of alcohol to it but mostly it’s just a nice floral- ish smell. Definitely DO WANT.

Free Shape, Hot Flex Spray
Price- 31.95
This is your basic heat activated hair spray. No alcohol scent at all in this one, just a sweet fresh smell and it’s another pump action spray. I found this to be a medium hold with heat and worked on pin curls fairly well without heat too. It worked nicely in conjunction with my straightener and I noticed that my hair stayed in place longer with it. While it didn’t take care of or smooth down fly aways like regular hair spray it kept the actual styles in place longer and felt light and non- crunchy. Kind of like not wearing anything at all. So I think the best use for this one would be for natural styles that involve heat styling but need to have movement. The kind of styles that take you a while to do but look like you just woke up with awesome hair ;) I’m now using this instead of my regular heat protector spray because it does double duty.

Hair Play, Dry Touch Up
Price- $28.95
This is a bit of an odd product. I was pretty much expecting a dry shampoo, it looks like a dry shampoo with the aerosol looking bottle etc but it’s not actually an aerosol and it’s not actually a dry shampoo. Generally with dry shampoos you spray at the roots to soak up oil and grossness, this one suggests that you spray around the middle and ends of the hair to give it new life. It was a bit hard for me to test it because generally I have more problems with oily roots than ends so it didn’t do much for me. Again this one has a very nice sweet smell with a tiny bit of an alcohol too. So while this one wasn’t any good for me it still left a nice finish and smelled good so I think it would probably suit someone who did have problems with limp ends.

Add Volume, Volumizing Spray
Price- $31.95
This is another of my personal favorites of this range. Volumizing spray :D James has been bugging me to try Volumizing spray for years because when he had hair he used to swear by it. I complain about my lack of top volume all the time but I’m also very lazy so I ignored him until now XD So yes this smells just as nice as the rest of the range but does it work? Well yes. It works ridiculously well. Here is a terrible phone shot of me after I used it and blow dried for the first time.

Results speak for themselves I think! Once it’s in I was expecting it to make my hair feel dirtier but it just felt grippy not dirty which was a nice surprise. Big plus one. The ability to use wet and also dry for touch ups was great and the volume lasted for me pretty much until the next wash, very happy with this one!

Curl Up, Wave Foam Mousse
Price- $36.95
This reminds me so much of that gel shaving cream that James uses! It comes out as a gel which you then lather into a kind of foam and run through towel dried hair then blow dry on a diffuse setting or air dry. Like pretty much all of these products it has heat protector in it which is awesome. I chose to diffuse dry but my fickle hair couldn’t keep a curl that way. I had more success scrunching it with my fingers and then letting it air dry, the result was more like beachy waves. Quite a nice effect considering how little effort was involved! The smell of this one is kind of like the pink flavor of that Vitamin Water which is my favorite haha. My personal taste is for more heavily styled hair but I think this is nice for casual days.

So overall as a collection I loved it. There were 2 stand outs for me, the Volumizing spray and the Quick Blow Dry spray, they have both made it into my every day routine and I would purchase them again. The others were good too but these two were personal favorites. The bottles are all nice and big so it makes me feel better about spending more for a higher end hair brand as a treat for myself. The whole range is definitely worth checking out and I love the new packaging, it’s really nice when brands listen to feedback!

I love KMS products but I wish they were cheaper!
Also I hope that you feel a whole lot better soon!
Me too! They make such lovely products but I just can’t afford them >_<
I’ve never heard of KMS before, and I don’t know much about styling products, so this was really fun for me to read! :D
I have a question about the Quick Blow Dry, in particular~. Do you think it would also increase the drying time if a diffuser is used? I have curly hair so I can never straight-up blow-dry it, but I also don’t own a diffuser, so I usually walk around with wet hair for three-or-four hours while it air-dries. :| That would be so awesome if Quick Blow Dry is just as effective with a diffuser. @.@
I mean decreasseeeeee. DECREASE the drying time. It probably wouldn’t be very impressive if it increased it, ahaha. >_>
I’m so glad to introduce you to something new :D Haha yes I think it would decrease the time, honestly even when I didn’t use a blow dryer at all I found my hair air dried quite a bit quicker too. My hair takes FOREVER to dry naturally so this is a godsend for me!
Oh I think I will have to try there Quick dry spray.
I find I have to blow dry my hair more than I would like which in turn damages it and makes it really frizzy!!
The plain packaging is one of the reasons I never got round to getting any of these products.
But after seeing their new range on display at Liquid Hair I am totally in love with the bright colours!!
Should really pull out the one we got from the Australian Beauty Bloggers Weekend and give it a whirl but there is so much stuff to go through!
Was great seeing you again at ABBW!
<3 Jen
Oh yes definitely give it a try, I hate blow drying >_< It was good seeing you again too Jen!

Hahaha thanks Minnie, I look like there was an electric shock XD
