KEVIN.MURPHY Staying.Alive Leave-In Treatment 150 mL — Weightless Repair & Frizz Control

STAYING.ALIVE is a weightless leave-in treatment that repairs dry, colour-treated, and damaged hair while smoothing frizz and boosting shine.

Designed by KEVIN.MURPHY, this leave-in mist blends silk proteins with vitamins C and E and naturally derived antioxidants to replenish hair without weighing it down. The fast-absorbing formula seals the cuticle to help reduce breakage and make hair easier to comb, styling-friendly and visibly softer. Sulfate- and paraben-free, it works as a daily maintenance step for salon-finished results at home.

How does STAYING.ALIVE improve dry or damaged hair?

The formula delivers targeted nutrition and surface-smoothing agents that temporarily bind to weakened areas of the hair shaft, improving manageability and appearance. Regular use helps hair feel stronger to the touch and look glossier without heavy residue.

• Silk proteins help coat and reinforce the hair surface for smoother texture
• Vitamins C and E provide antioxidant support for hair exposed to environmental stress
• Lightweight spray penetrates quickly and distributes evenly for instant softness
• Seals the cuticle to reduce friction and breakage during styling

Will this leave-in work on colour-treated hair without fading my colour?

STAYING.ALIVE was formulated to be colour-friendly and gentle, adding protection and hydration without harsh sulfates or parabens that can strip pigments. It helps lock in vibrancy by smoothing the cuticle and reducing mechanical damage during brushing and styling.

• Sulfate- and paraben-free to minimize stripping of salon colour
• Creates a smoother surface that better reflects light and shows shine
• Light formula won’t weigh coloured hair down or make it look flat
• Use between washes to extend the life of salon colour and gloss

How do I use STAYING.ALIVE for best results?

Spray on damp or dry hair focusing on mid-lengths and ends, then comb through or style as usual — no rinse required. Use a few pumps after washing to lock in moisture, or mist lightly on dry hair for instant smoothness and frizz control throughout the day.

• Apply to towel-dried hair before blow-drying to protect and detangle
• Use on dry hair for quick touch-ups and to tame flyaways
• Concentrate product on ends and damaged sections rather than the roots
• Combine with KEVIN.MURPHY styling products for tailored hold and finish

What makes the ingredients effective and environmentally mindful?

The blend pairs proven actives like silk proteins with antioxidant vitamins derived from natural sources to nourish hair while keeping the formula clean. KEVIN.MURPHY keeps the product free of sulfates and parabens and maintains cruelty-free standards, reflecting a salon-grade performance with conscious formulation choices.

• Silk proteins: surface-smoothing and strengthening benefits
• Vitamins C and E: antioxidant support for stressed hair fibres
• Lightweight, non-greasy base prevents buildup with regular use
• Cruelty-free and free from sulfates and parabens

Who is this for: STAYING.ALIVE suits anyone wanting a reliable, lightweight leave-in to restore softness, control frizz, and protect hair from everyday wear — especially those with dry, colour-treated, chemically processed, or brittle hair. It’s also a practical choice for people who prefer low-residue, salon-quality finishes without harsh ingredients, and for stylists seeking a finishing spray that improves manageability and shine.
