I've spent what feels like a lifetime lusting after Alexa Chung-esque tousled messy hair, a lifetime that is of trying and failing. My hair is just too soft and floppy to do a 'textured' look. However, with the help of a few styling products to give it some grit I do manage to get part of the way there.
After having used a few texturising sprays before I was super excited when I accidentally spotted the Bumble & Bumble dry spun finish spray on the US website and I couldn't wait for it to come to the UK.
I eventually got round to picking up a bottle ( it took me a while to accept I was going to pay £21 for a hair spray, eeeeeep!) and I'm so glad I did
With raw silk powders this spray is designed to work a bit like a dry shampoo and add volume and oomph to hair as well as texture. At first I was a little apprehensive using it. I've had countless disasters where I've been a little heavy handed spraying products in to my hair and it's left it feeling all sticky and flat. However the Dry spun spray leaves absolutely no residue at all ( no scary white patches like with a traditional dry shampoo!) and is weightless - it didn't actually feel like I'd used any product, which I personally love as I hate the feeling of product build up, yuck!
I've been spraying this mainly at my roots and a little through the ends of my hair and then ruffling it with my hands to give it some fullness and that effortless I've-not-tried-too-hard-with-my-hair-today look. I've actually been really impressed with how well this actually holds too - I've found a lot of similar sprays drop after a while and my hair loses the volume.
So far this is my favourite texturising spray I've tired. At £21 it's not cheap but it's nearly half price of the Oribe blogger favourite.
What is your favourite texturisng product?
Sounds like a great product although I agree with you about the price - it had better be rocking for that kind of money! Xx

Sounds like an amazing product although a tad pricey, but if it works as well as you say it does I guess it might be worth it! My hair is so naturally straight and fine, I'm always looking for something to add a bit of texture and volume :) xx
ReplyDeleteIf you don't want to fork out for this one you could always try the Tresemme version first and see if you think it does anything for you :) it's a really good cheaper alternative xx
DeleteI've heard that sea salt & water in a spray bottle can add some more texture & volume! :) This sounds like a great product though x
ReplyDeleteI've had a go with sea salt sprays before and even made my own and I just can't get along with them. I have naturally really curly and frizzy hair and the wetness just makes my hair go mental :( I wish I could get away with them though because I know a few people they work miracles for x
DeleteSounds good dear, although quite pricey just for a spray. Glad you have found something that works for you though :-) xx

I haven't tried many texturising products and the ones I've tried haven't done any noticeable difference. But this product sounds great! Thank you for leaving a comment on my blog. I really like yours and just started following. I'd be very happy if you'd follow me back so that we can stay in touch! :)

I'm desperate for something that will give me roots volume but my hair just flops within seconds! Sounds like you have similar hair so if you think this holds, I may have to keep an eye out for this on a deal ;)
ReplyDeleteReally helpful post lovely, thank you!

Definitely going to have to give this a whirl as I can't afford the Oribe one but found cheaper versions like the Vo5 one a bit dissapointing!

Vo5 disappointed me a bit too :( I don't think it did much for me xx
DeleteLooks great, but I don't think I'd ever want to use it at £21!

I've been eyeing this up recently so great timing to come across your great review! I really like the Tresemme Plumping Powder atm :)

I really want to try this but I have one important question. Does it dampen your hair at all? My short hair is so frizzy that a tiny bit of liquid will ruin it and I won't walk around looking like one of those key chain trolls.
ReplyDeleteThe price of the Oribe spray make me a bit dizzy. I'd have to lose my mind a bit before buying that.

No it doesn't wet it at all :) I have super frizzy hair so it would be awful for me if it did! & I know me too! I'm afraid to try it in case it's amazing as everyone says & I can't live without it xx
