Why we like it
The Moda Team Review
As a White Haven Kevin Murphy salon, we use this on brunette and darker-haired clients who want the same polished finish that Shimmer Me Blonde gives our blonde clients. The gold mica reads on any tone and the Immortelle Oil adds conditioning depth that you do not always get from a finishing spray.
Read full stylist notes
The brunette client who sees a blonde client leaving the salon with luminous, polished hair and asks what was used. We explain that Shimmer Me Blonde is the blonde version and show her Shimmer Shine with the gold mica. Same format, same finish principle, correct crystals for her colour. She takes it home and the feedback at the next appointment is always the same: the blow-dry looks better for longer. Kevin Murphy developed Shimmer Shine after Shimmer Me Blonde to extend the mica crystal concept beyond blonde hair. His reasoning was that as professionals, the tools should set salon retail apart from what clients can find at a drugstore. A leave-in shine spray with gold mica and Immortelle Oil is genuinely difficult to replicate at a mass-market price point. As a White Haven salon, this is the kind of product we use to justify the investment in professional haircare.

How to use
Use it the way we would.
- Twirl the bottle before use — gold mica crystals settle between uses.
- Spray onto damp towel-dried hair or dry styled hair.
- Do not rinse — leave-in product.
- Focus through mid-lengths and ends.
- Spray from 30 to 40 centimetres away, keep moving for even coverage.
- Style or air-dry.
Moda stylist tipTwirl every single time. The mica settles within minutes. Skipping the twirl means you are spraying carrier oil with minimal shimmer and then wondering why the result is underwhelming.

Questions? We get them.
Good to know.
The questions we hear most about this product. If yours isn’t here, a real stylist will answer.
Ask ModaCan I use Shimmer Shine on blonde or grey hair, or should I use Shimmer Me Blonde instead?
Yes — Shimmer Shine works on all hair colours including blonde and grey, but Shimmer Me Blonde is the more targeted choice for those tones. Shimmer Shine uses gold mica and Immortelle Oil; Shimmer Me Blonde uses silver mica and a violet tint that neutralises yellow. If enhancing and warming all-over shine is the goal, Shimmer Shine. If brightening and toning blonde or grey specifically is the goal, Shimmer Me Blonde.
Will Shimmer Shine make my hair look greasy or just shiny?
Shiny, not greasy — when applied correctly. The key is distance and distribution: spray from 30 to 40 centimetres away and keep the bottle moving. Concentrating the spray in one spot on fine hair is what creates an oily look. One or two sprays evenly distributed through the mid-lengths and ends reads as high shine.
Can I use Shimmer Shine before blow-drying or only after?
Both work. On towel-dried damp hair, the Immortelle Oil protects during the blow-dry and the mica deposits conditioning benefit while the hair dries. On dry finished hair, the mica sits on the cuticle surface and the shine is more visible immediately. For maximum shine impact, apply to dry hair after styling. For conditioning benefit through the blow-dry, apply to damp hair first.
Does Shimmer Shine have a strong scent?
Yes — stronger than most Kevin Murphy styling products and noticeably stronger than Shimmer Me Blonde. If you are sensitive to fragrance in finishing products, it is worth knowing this upfront. The scent fades as the product dries. If fragrance is a concern, Shimmer Me Blonde has a lighter profile — though it is only suitable for blonde and grey hair.
Why does it need to be twirled before use — can I just shake it?
The twirling motion is specifically designed to evenly suspend the mica crystals through the liquid without creating air bubbles. Shaking would do the same job but can disrupt the spray mechanism. Twirl gently for five to ten seconds before each use — the crystals settle quickly and every spray needs fresh suspension.
