I have never been one to splurge on hair products, as I am very lucky to have naturally blonde, long, stick-straight hair. I have never really had to be a slave to a certain product, because generally all products give me the same result. Recently however, I have been feeling bored with my hair. I know that it is the length that makes it difficult to work with, but I can't bring myself to cut it! Lately I have been trying nearly anything to give it a little bit more life.
I was in need of a new heat protectant spray, and while wandering thorough Target I came across the L'Oreal Boost It Blow Out Heatspray. It claims that it gives "lasting volume." I have used this for a couple of weeks and I will say that I do not notice any more volume than I would usually have using a non-volumizing product. However, I do like it so far, it does the job as a heat protectant spray, and it smells great.
I have heard about Joico shampoo before, but nothing too specific. I saw their Body Luxe Shampoo "for fullness and volume," and decided to give it a try. I have only used it once, and I felt like it left my hair feeling comfortably clean (not like crazy squeaky-clean) but I did not notice any additional volume. However, I have never really been a believer in "volumizing" shampoos, because I just do not see how a shampoo could really do much in that department.
I have been using a Dove conditioner that I love, but then I found the TIGI S Factor Smoothing Conditioner. I have heard good things about this, and have always been curious about it. It smells absolutely amazing! I have only used it once, but it dispersed well through my hair and it has a nice, thick consistency. I usually use a wide-toothed comb to gently comb my conditioner through my hair in the shower, and it combed through easily. It rinsed well and my hair felt soft when it dried. I will also admit that I can't stop sniffing it! Seriously if you see anything from the S Factor line just smell it. SO GOOD!
Last but not least, I have ALWAYS been curious about Big Sexy Hair products. I have never really tried any of them before, but I saw the Root Pump spray and decided to finally give in. It sprays out like a thin mousse if that makes sense, and I sprayed it into the roots of my damp hair and massaged it around before I blow dried it. Unlike the rest of the products I have mentioned, I am not too crazy about the scent of this. It is nice, but it kind of smells chemically and aerosol-y to me. I can't put my finger on it, but it kind of reminds me of the Tresemme Dry Shampoo, which I really did not like. Regardless of this, it's not horrible and it definitely would not keep me from using it. I have not used this enough to say whether it makes a huge difference, but I do notice a little bit more lift and texture, which is always welcome in my opinion. It does not really leave any residue in my hair, and I have not noticed any additional weight to my hair either.
Overall, I am very excited to have some new hair products to try out, and hopefully I will be able to form some stronger opinions about them once I have had the chance to use them more.
