Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Wild Ginger Finishing Spray

Product Overview

This finishing spray from Paul Mitchell is designed to lock in your styled look with a firm hold while adding radiance and managing humidity. The formula incorporates hand‑harvested Hawaiian awapuhi (white ginger) extract, which helps balance moisture in the hair and leaves it feeling soft and healthy.  

It offers a “natural finish” (i.e., not stiff or crunchy) with buildable hold, and works for all hair types. 

Key Features & Benefits

• Firm hold with natural finish: Provides a strong hold while maintaining a touchable, natural texture rather than a “helmet” effect. 
• Humidity resistant: Helps hair stay styled even in humid conditions, reducing frizz or flyaways. 
• Moisture‑balancing botanical: The awapuhi extract offers hydration and supports hair health when used alongside styling. 
• Color safe & paraben free: According to the brand listing, the product is color safe and free from parabens. 
• Pleasant tropical scent: The line carries a signature tropical‑ginger/green tea/mango type fragrance, which many enjoy.

Why Choose This Product?

You might opt for this finishing spray if:

• You want a high‑quality salon‑style hairspray that gives strong hold but doesn’t leave hair feeling stiff or crunchy.
• Your hair is exposed to humidity, fly‑aways or you live in a humid climate and need a finish that helps resist those issues.
• You appreciate premium ingredients (like the awapuhi extract) and want your styling product to also support hair health rather than just hold.
• You want versatility: it works for all hair types and can be used for everyday styling or special occasions.
• You enjoy a fringer—scented finishing spray, and are comfortable with a slightly higher price tag for premium results.

Considerations:

• Because it offers firm hold with humidity resistance, if you prefer ultra‑light hold or minimal product, you might find it slightly more “styling‑spray” than ultra‑light mist.
• As with all aerosol sprays, you should ensure good ventilation and follow safe usage (no spraying near open flame, avoid eyes). The website notes the propellant ingredients and usage instructions. 
• The scent is quite noticeable (tropical/ginger/mango notes) — if you have sensitivities to fragrance, check if it’s acceptable for you.
• Always ensure you purchase an authentic product and store properly (cool, dry place, cap closed) to maintain performance.
