That's it. In just one blow dry, Dream Cocktails begin transforming the look and feel of your hair while protecting it from heat styling.

What Do Color Wow Dream Cocktails Do?

Color Wow Dream Cocktails are heat-activated leave-in treatments that target three of the most common hair concerns:

Carb Cocktail for fine, flat hair
- Coconut Cocktail for dry, dehydrated hair
  
  Kale Cocktail for fragile, damaged hair

Each Dream Cocktail is designed to solve a specific problem.

As soon as heat from your blow dryer hits your hair, the technology activates to either strengthen strands, restore hydration, or add thickness to your hair.

Every formula also has built-in heat protection to help keep your hair safe from the drying effects of heat styling.

Massive results. Zero effort.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dream Cocktails

Do I Need Heat or Can I Air Dry?

Dream Cocktails are heat-activated, so blow drying is recommended to achieve the best results.

Do Dream Cocktails Protect Against Heat Damage?

Yes. Like most Color Wow products, every Dream Cocktail contains built-in heat protection to help shield hair from heat styling damage while improving the look and feel of your hair.

Can I Use a Dream Cocktail Every Time I Blow Dry?

Absolutely, and we recommend that you do.

Not only do Dream Cocktails deliver instantly healthier-looking results after every blow dry, they also continue improving the condition of your hair with continued use.

Can You Layer More Than One Dream Cocktail?

Yes, but always layer them, never mix them. If you're using two Cocktails, always apply Dream Cocktail Kale-Infused first.

That's because Kale works inside the hair strand, helping strengthen internal sulfur bonds.

Dream Cocktail Coconut and Dream Cocktail Carb work on the surface of the hair, so they should always be applied after Kale.

Dream Cocktail Carb and Dream Cocktail Coconut shouldn't be used together because their thickening and smoothing technologies work against one another.

Can You Use All Three Dream Cocktails Together?

We don't recommend using all three formulas at once. Instead, choose one of these expert pairings:

Kale + Carb for stronger, thicker-looking hair
Kale + Coconut for stronger, smoother, silkier hair

Can You Use Dream Coat and Dream Cocktails Together?

Yes. Apply your Dream Cocktail first, then follow with Dream Coat before blow drying.

Dream Cocktails target specific concerns like damage, dryness or lack of volume, while Dream Coat creates an invisible humidity-resistant finish that helps keep your blowout smooth, sleek, and frizz-free.

Together, they're the perfect prep routine for healthier-looking, longer-lasting blowouts.
