Shine Spray
Less: Citré Shine Shine Mist Anti-Frizz Spray Laminator, $4.49
Luxe: Jonathan Product IB Shield Humidity Lock-Out Shine Spray, $32
Ingredients in Action
The less expensive spray contains vitamins, silicones and a UV protector. The higher-priced product has tourmaline, antioxidants, silicones and UVA and UVB filters.
And the Winner Is …
Because of the sun filters in these shiners, your color is less likely to go flat. Plus, the extra protection gives your hair radiant shine -- and it smells nice. But the aerosol formula means you get better coverage with the expensive product, and it's loaded with additional moisturizing ingredients.

Surprised the Tresseme and Suave heat sprays aren't listed in here for "less" options.

I love the Luxe vs. Less stories. I am always surprised by the results and I found out what not to spend my money on!

I wonder how the Pantene Restoratives compares to their new Restore Beautiful Lengths. I liked the only new Pantene product I've tried,one of the color preserve conditioners, it was shockingly good.
