DedCool and Emi Jay launched the DedCool x Emi Jay Mochi Milk Gift Set in Yellow Mochi Sky on emijay.com on 29 September 2026, priced at $59 (US). The limited-edition set pairs DedCool's Mochi Milk scent, which the brand calls a bestseller, with Emi Jay's Big Effing Clip, which won a Cosmopolitan Holy Grail Beauty Award. It contains a hair and body mist, a set-exclusive clip and an angel-wing air freshener.

What's Inside: The Products

The set includes three products. Two of them are exclusive to the set:

• Aura Hair + Body Mist in Mochi Milk (1.8 fl oz / 53 ml): the brand describes it as a fine, sweet and creamy mist. According to Emi Jay, it contains glycerin for frizz control, smoothing and soft shine, plus aloe leaf juice to hydrate and protect.
• Big Effing Clip in Yellow Mochi Sky: Emi Jay calls this its most-loved claw clip. This version has a matte finish with star rhinestones. It measures 4" x 1.5", is made from custom cellulose acetate and won a Cosmopolitan Holy Grail Beauty Award. According to Emi Jay, it holds a full head of hair from morning to night without pulling.
• Mochi Milk air freshener: an angel-wing-shaped freshener for a car or wardrobe.

The Mochi Milk Scent

The brand describes Mochi Milk as a soft, comforting gourmand that smells like dessert without being too sugary. The notes are:

• Top: marshmallow, peach nectar, enveloping incense
• Middle: sweet rice milk, vanilla bean, jasmine petals
• Base: Australian sandalwood, sensual amber, white musk

Price & Value

The gift set costs $59. Emi Jay states a $74 value if the items were bought separately and says the set saves 20%. Only the mist is sold on its own, at $24. The Yellow Mochi Sky clip and the air freshener are available only in this set. For comparison, the same clip design in Pink Mochi Sky sells for $38. Emi Jay marks the set as final sale.

How to Use It

• Second-day hair: mist lightly over the lengths. According to Emi Jay, the glycerin tames flyaways and adds shine.
• Layering the scent: spritz the hair first, then the pulse points.
• Styling: twist the hair into a low bun and secure it with the Big Effing Clip. Emi Jay says the clip holds a full head of hair with no pulling.

Emi Jay's Mochi Sky drop also includes two other products:

• Big Effing Clip in Pink Mochi Sky ($38)
• Sweet Dreams Silk Scrunchie in Mint Mochi Sky ($32), made of 100% silk charmeuse and handmade in Los Angeles

What Makes the Rosemary PDRN Silk Hair Oil Different?

• medicube claims heat protection up to 464°F / 240°C, clinically tested by P&K Skin Research Center.
• The formula pairs PDRN (Sodium DNA) with 31 proteins and amino acids in a silicone-based glass oil.

It is one of several leave-in hair launches this autumn, alongside the Pantene Abbey Yung Deep Nourishing Transforming Cream to Mist Spray, which also arrived in the US in September 2026. Heat protection and frizz smoothing are also two of the three steps in the K18 Repair, Protect, Smooth Holiday Set.

Formula and Packaging

The oil comes in a spray bottle. Its first three ingredients are dimethicone, isododecane and dimethiconol. The formula also contains argan oil, rosemary leaf oil, Sodium DNA (PDRN) and a protein and amino-acid complex. Amazon lists the package as 5.16 x 2.05 x 2.05 inches and 5.29 ounces.

How to Use

medicube says to apply an appropriate amount to wet or dry hair, focusing on damaged areas. For a smoother finish, it says to apply more to the mid-lengths and ends after blow-drying. The brand also suggests pairing the oil with the Rosemary PDRN Hair Mask for extra bonding care.

Pantene has launched the Abbey Yung Deep Nourishing Transforming Cream to Mist Spray, a leave-in co-created with Abbey Yung. Yung is a certified trichologist and quality hair advocate known from TikTok. The spray appeared on pantene.com on 28 September 2026 and costs $14.99 at Amazon and Walmart in the US. Pantene revealed it with an Instagram unboxing reel. It joins the Abbey Yung Method line and, according to the brand, delivers cream-level nourishment in a weightless mist for dry, damaged hair.

What's New: A Cream That Turns Into a Mist

According to Pantene, the transforming cream to mist spray delivers the richness of a cream in the even distribution of a fine mist. It is dispensed from a gold pump bottle and is designed to spread evenly through hair.

The formula combines peptides with Pantene's Pro-V Complex, which includes pro-vitamin B5. The retailer listings also name Moisture Barrier Builders and Protective Antioxidants. Pantene says the formula:

• Helps repair dry, damaged strands for stronger, more resilient hair
• Protects against heat up to 450°F, so it can be used as a heat protectant
• Instantly detangles
• Hydrates, restoring softness, shine and manageability without weighing hair down

The brand describes it as color safe and suitable for all hair types, especially thirsty strands. Pantene's official before-and-after images show color-treated blonde hair and long dark hair, both labelled "no retouching."

How to Use It

1. Apply to damp or dry hair as a leave-in treatment.
2. Spray generously, then work it through from root to tip.
3. Style as usual. Pantene positions it as heat protection before blow-drying or flat ironing.
4. Use daily, as Pantene recommends.

Because Pantene's directions include dry hair, the spray can also be applied between washes.

The Abbey Yung Method Routine

Pantene suggests pairing the spray with a Pantene nourishing shampoo and the Melting Pro-V Pearls conditioner, then finishing with the cream to mist. The official image marked "approved by The Abbey Yung Method" shows a three-step routine:

• 01: Sheer Volume shampoo
• 02: Miracle Rescue Deep Repair conditioner
• 03: Deep Nourishing Cream to Mist Spray

Price and Release Date

The spray appeared on pantene.com on 28 September 2026. It costs $14.99 for 5 fl oz at both Amazon and Walmart in the US. Target also lists it, though no price is confirmed there. An Ulta Beauty listing is not yet confirmed.

It debuted on TikTok Shop in the $18 (US) Shimmer & Shine Stick Duo. It arrived on elfcosmetics.com and target.com on 2 October 2026 and is due in Target stores on 8 November 2026.

Formula and Finish

The Shimmer Glimmer Glitter Hair Stick comes in a lilac twist-up bullet. According to e.l.f., the formula is buildable, lightweight and non-greasy, and it glides on with no residue. The brand suggests using it on styles from sleek edges and braided crowns to half-up ponytails and loose waves. It can be applied sheer or layered for more intensity.

How to Apply

• Style first, shimmer last. Finish the hairstyle, then glide the stick over the areas to highlight.
• Target high-shine zones such as slicked-back edges, braid ridges, hair parts or the length of a ponytail.
• Build gradually. Start with one swipe, then layer for more intensity.

The Shimmer & Shine Stick Duo

The hair stick launched first on TikTok Shop in the Shimmer & Shine Stick Duo for $18. The duo pairs the Glitter Hair Stick with a Glow Reviver Lip Oil Stick shade. Read our breakdown of the Glow Reviver Lip Oil Stick shade range for details.

The Dyson Advent Calendar 2026 is Dyson's first beauty advent calendar: 12 drawers of hair care, with a Supersonic Travel dryer in the last one. It costs €399, is sold only in Germany and went on sale on 28 September 2026.

Availability update (7 October 2026): available to pre-order on dyson.de at €399. Dyson says it's a limited edition, sold while stocks last.

Release Date

Dyson says the calendar is available from 28 September 2026 at Dyson and selected retailers, only in Germany and while stocks last. Pre-orders on dyson.de opened on 24 September 2026. Payment is taken three days before the order ships, and the delivery date is shown at checkout.

Price

The calendar costs €399 in Germany. Dyson says the contents are worth €551 in total.

On its own, the Supersonic Travel in the same Ceramic Pink / Rose Gold colourway has an RRP of €299 on dyson.de, and was on offer for €259 on 7 October 2026. At the RRP, the other 11 drawers, the box and the accessories account for €100 of the calendar's price.

What's Inside the 12 Drawers

Dyson has published the full contents:

• Dyson Supersonic Travel hair dryer, Ceramic Pink / Rose Gold (drawer 12)
• Dyson Chitosan Multi-Use Styling Spray, travel size, 50ml

The Hero: Dyson Supersonic Travel

The 24 December drawer holds the Supersonic Travel. According to Dyson, it's 32% smaller and 25% lighter than the original Supersonic. Dyson lists 3 heat and 2 speed settings, automatic dual voltage (100–240V) and compatibility with existing Supersonic attachments.

• 12 drawers, not 24. Each drawer is opened every second day, from 2 to 24 December.
• A full-size tool inside. The last drawer holds a hair dryer, and the box itself is shaped like a suitcase with a handle, with "supersonic travel" printed inside the lid. Dyson says the calendar is built around travel.
