KEVIN.MURPHY HAIR.RESORT is a beach-texturising lotion that creates tousled, vacation-style waves in minutes.
This lightweight lotion adds grit, body, and hold so hair looks fuller without feeling sticky or heavy. It works by giving strands a salty, matte texture, helping curls and waves to appear more defined and touchable.
The scent is fresh and slightly tropical, making styling feel like a quick escape to the seaside. Hair dries with a casual, lived-in finish, as if you’ve spent the day by the ocean.
Perfect for medium to long hair, and anyone who wants easy, undone texture. Use it on damp hair before air-drying or blow-drying, or scrunch into dry hair to revive flat, limp lengths.
How To Use KEVIN.MURPHY HAIR.RESORT
- Apply a small amount to clean, towel-dried hair.
- Distribute evenly from mid-lengths to ends.
- Scrunch hair with hands to encourage waves and texture.
- Leave to air-dry for a relaxed, beachy look.
- Or blow-dry with a diffuser for extra volume and hold.
- Add a pea-sized amount to dry hair to refresh style.
