I have very long, very fine, thin hair that just constantly looks limp and yuck, so you can imagine my excitement when I got picked to trial this product. While excited, I was also a little skeptical; due to not having a lot of hair I find that most products tend to weigh it down so I stick to just a shampoo and conditioner most of the time.
I'm still not sure on the packaging, I can't decide if its cool or just tacky! I'm not quite sure why this serum needs to be separated either. Nevertheless, the pump works so I'm happy!
This is a 'double' serum, so has two tubes in the pump that mix when you pump them out (one clear one pink). The formula is quite runny and almost silky, definitely not sticky which is good! One thing that I really don't enjoy is the smell, to me the fragrance is quite strong and the only thing I can liken it too is a washing powder we used to buy when I was flatting at uni.. The scent doesn't last too long once in the hair, so I can live with that.
I apply it to towel dry lengths and ends as per instructions. Once dry I do actually notice a slight difference in volume, without any heaviness or greasiness. Compared to my salon brand thickening spray it doesn't produce as much volume however for $11 I am happy with its performance.
Overall, I think this is a decent thickening serum for the price. It does the job fairly well without leaving any noticeable residue and I like how light the formula is. Once I run out of my salon spray I will consider repurchasing this
I have very fine hair that lacks volume and struggles to hold a style. So I was very excited to try this product. I used 2 pumps (on short hair) on towel dried hair. After 5-10mins I styled as usual with a texturising paste and blow dried my hair.
The serum added some volume to my hair with the benefit of not making it greasy or sticky. However I am not sure convinced that the serum is cumulatively thickening my hair. The product made my hair very soft and smooth - which I personally prefer it didn't as much as it did, as it made it hard to maintain my hair style throughout the whole day.
The packaging was attractive, but I worry that it may be hard to know when it is about to run out. The smell was also very pleasant (like a clean smell rather than a perfume smell). This is very affordable product and I will continue using it for the benefit of the small increase in volume it achieves.
