Celebrity Hairstylist Chris Appleton’s Go-To Color Wow Products for Achieving His Iconic ‘Glass Hair’ Look

07/07/2025

Celebrity colorist and hairstylist Chris Appleton is known for his iconic, ultra-glossy hair look, often seen on A-list celebrities like Jennifer Lopez ,Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande and Dua Lipa. It’s no doubt that Appleton’s favorite products come straight from the brand Color Wow Hair, known for their products that help fight frizz, boost shine, and add volume to every user. Although many of his looks feature Color Wow products, one truly shines above the rest. 

Appleton’s secret to glossy healthy looking hair? None other than Color Wow’s Dream Coat Supernatural Spray. It’s an anti-frizz treatment and humidity-proofing spray that silkens, smooths, and totally transforms hair texture. Not only will it give you that dreamy glass look, it’s weightless, non-greasy, and keeps your hair safe from heat. This #1 spray can last through 3-4 washes, and will keep your blowouts sleek and smooth for long-lasting frizz control. 

But that’s not all, Appleton keeps his followers in the loop with every product he admires and loves so we, too, can achieve beautiful frizz-free hair. He has a lot to say about the Money Mist from Color Wow Hair, calling it “magic” and “essential for reducing breakage and detangling”. For many of us this summer, hot days are spent in the pool taking a dip or chasing waves in the ocean, but with that can come knots and dryness. The Money Mist light leave-in conditioner gives you an instant transformation, providing slip and removing the workout behind detangling hair. 

If frizz isn’t your problem, but volume is, he’s got something for you too! Color Wow’s Xtra Large Bombshell Volumizer is the first-of-its-kind. According to Appleton, it’s a product that does all the work for you. All you need is a blowdryer to see the effects of this volumizer, giving you undeniable bounce and weightless volume. The bigger the better right?

Now, the brand behind the bounce is continuing to make waves. On June 30th, L’Oreal acquired Appleton’s go-to brand, Color Wow Hair, deeming it “one of the world’s fastest growing and most innovative professional haircare brands.”
