Big hair in a bottle : Oribe Maximista

Right now you're looking at the most expensive hair product I've ever bought. It's one of those products that's appeared on every blog going and I knew it would only be a matter of time before I caved in and tried it for myself.

Now when it comes to volume my hair is definitely lacking. I have that kind of hair that's very fine so it's quite soft when it's newly washed and kind of just hangs there ( think captain caveman), which is why there's always some kind of volumiser / thickening spray in my pre- blow dry routine.

My current big hair enabler is the famous Oribe's Maximista thickening spray. I've only been using this for a couple of weeks but seriously why didn't I buy this baby sooner?! Five or six spritzes at the roots gives the perfect amount of lift and a few through the lengths of my hair really thickens it up. It does have quite a sticky feel which I was a little unsure of at first but I've learnt that it means it gives hair a bit of texture too.

After a wee bit of experimenting I've found that this works best on hair that's about 3/4 dry and even better if I tilt my head upside down when I'm drying my hair. Then we're talking seriously fat hair. For you gals with hair that's a bit on the dry side it's worth noting that this might be one to steer clear of. After a couple of uses it really accentuated my dry ends and reminded me I'm well overdue a trim.

Although pricy it's working wonders on my super flat hair wash after wash. If it's big hair you're after this won't let you down.
