Long or damaged hair breaks for a specific reason: the hair fibre has lost the structural protein network and surface film that resist mechanical stress. Brushing, heat, and environmental exposure all accelerate the damage once that network is compromised. MELU Anti-Breakage Spray works at the fibre level — not by coating the surface with silicone, but by depositing a protective polysaccharide film derived from black chickpea extract that reinforces the hair shaft against the forces that cause breakage in the first place.

MELU Anti-Breakage Spray is built around Regenerative Organic Certified™ Black Chickpea Extract (Hydrolyzed Cicer Seed Extract) — sourced from Mr. Gabriele Colla's farm in Parma, Italy. Black chickpea is unusually rich in polysaccharides and antioxidants. The polysaccharides form a flexible, protective film around the hair shaft that absorbs and distributes mechanical stress — reducing the micro-fractures caused by brushing, detangling, and heat styling that progressively weaken the fibre. The antioxidants preserve the hair's structural proteins (primarily keratin) against oxidative degradation — the process through which chemical processing, UV exposure, and urban pollution damage the hair's internal architecture over time.

Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid provides broad-spectrum UV protection — shielding the hair shaft from the UV-induced protein oxidation that causes colour fade and brittleness on both colour-treated and natural hair. Inulin (fructooligosaccharide, derived from chicory root) provides additional moisture-binding and film-forming properties that reinforce the chickpea extract's protective complex. Hydrolyzed Corn Starch contributes a lightweight conditioning and smoothing effect that improves manageability without adding weight — critical for long hair where product weight causes limp, flat results.

The formula is an ultra-light, invisible mist — applied to towel-dried hair and left in before heat styling. It does not build up, does not weigh hair down, and does not require rinsing.

Efficacy verified through independent clinical and laboratory testing:

  • -33.7% breakage during brushing — clinical test on 20 participants with fragile hair, after 4 weeks of use of MELU Shampoo, Conditioner, and Spray
  • Heat protection up to 230°C (446°F) — from blow-drying and hot tool styling
  • Effective anti-pollution shield — in vitro test on hair strands exposed to nickel, cadmium, and lead (representative urban air pollutants) vs. untreated hair
  • 85% of users noticed healthier, more manageable hair — self-assessment by 20 volunteers after 4 weeks of use of the MELU system

Metro Vancouver note: Urban pollution exposure is a compounding factor for hair damage locally — Metro Vancouver's coastal air carries oxidative particulates that degrade the hair shaft over time. The MELU Spray's anti-pollution shield addresses this directly, making it particularly relevant for anyone commuting or spending time outdoors in the city.

Who It's For Long, damaged, fragile, or breakage-prone hair of any texture. Particularly effective for hair that has been bleached, coloured, heat-styled frequently, or chemically processed — where the fibre's structural integrity has been progressively compromised. Works as a daily leave-in pre-styling treatment. Suitable for fine hair due to the ultra-lightweight formula. Vegan, 97% naturally derived, 94.5% biodegradable.

Best results achieved when used as part of the complete MELU system — MELU Shampoo → and MELU Conditioner →.

Key Ingredients

  • Hydrolyzed Cicer Seed Extract (Regenerative Organic Certified™ Black Chickpea) — Polysaccharides form a protective film to reduce breakage; antioxidants preserve keratin structure against oxidative degradation
  • Terephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid — Broad-spectrum UV filter; protects against UV-induced protein oxidation, colour fade, and brittleness
  • Inulin (Chicory Root) — Moisture-binding and film-forming fructooligosaccharide; reinforces the protective complex
  • Hydrolyzed Corn Starch — Lightweight conditioning and smoothing agent; improves manageability without weight
  • Alcohol Denat. — Fast-drying carrier that allows the active complex to deposit evenly on the hair shaft before evaporating

HOW TO USE: Apply 10–15 sprays to towel-dried hair after washing. Do not rinse. Dry and style as desired. Use daily as a pre-styling treatment for best results. Most effective when used as part of the complete MELU system (Shampoo, Conditioner, Spray) — breakage reduction of 33.7% was measured on the full system after 4 weeks.
