My hair is naturally straight and quite fine, so I am always in search of ways to pump up the volume. I’ve tried all sorts of volumizing mousses and sprays, but I never seem to get the bounce that I’m looking for. With a name like Lift, I knew that I had to give this Josh Rosebrook texturizing spray a try on my limp tresses!
This spray comes with a triggle nozzle that applies a fine, even mist of product to the hair. There is a small lock at the base of the nozzle that is convenient for traveling or for preventing general clumsiness if you are anything like me. There is also a floral, herbaceous scent that is noticeable upon application. For maximum volume, the product instructions recommend applying this spray to the roots of towel dried hair before blow drying with a round brush. I very rarely blow dry my hair, but I experimented with this method and was left was some serious oomph! I find that lifting up sections of hair and really working this product into my roots produces the best result. Flipping my hair upside down before blow drying also seems to increase volume beautifully.
This product also works wonders when I let my hair air dry. I spray my damp roots as usual and then flip my hair to the opposite side of my part to dry. This will leave your hair feeling a bit crunchy due to the yucca starch, but breaking up the product with your hands or a brush will eliminate this feeling. The first time that I tried this technique, my husband commented on the fluffiness of my hair. Serious points for this product!
Overall, I am very happy with this volumizing spray and I am excited to try out more from Josh Rosebrook. I love the lift and texture that I get from this product and it seems to last well throughout the day. When my hair starts to go a bit flat, I just flip my head over and massage my roots for a few seconds. This restores volume with ease and produces a sort of tousled effect. I do have to note that I tried spraying this product on dry hair and it seemed to leave a fair amount of residue and build-up at my roots. It still provided a wonderful amount of volume and texture, but I recommend using this spray as intended for optimal results.
The full size version of this product retails for $22 (4 oz., 120 ml), but there is also a travel size available if you are interested in testing it out ($15 for 2 oz., 60 ml).
