Goldwell Double Boost Root Lift Spray

Goldwell Double Boost Root Lift Spray

A super-effective, salon-grade styling aid that gets high marks for accurate claims: a "root boost spray for the ultimate lift" that "makes hair feel thicker and stronger." Just spritz towel-dried roots for the effect of Velcro rollers without the effort. It pumps up even fine hair extremely well. The tr...More

Goldwell Dynamic Loop Curl Spray

Goldwell Dynamic Loop Curl Spray

If this product were rated on the springy-ness it provides alone, it would get a 10. The bamboo proteins in this spray work some sort of voodoo magic to make curls into perfectly shaped, people-stop-you-on-the-street-to-compliment-your-hair spirals. But it's not all roses and daisies: While it does add shine, it doesn't moi...More

Wella Color Preserve Thermal Protecting Spray

Wella Color Preserve Thermal Protecting Spray

This lightly scented, non-drying, pump spray claims that it preserves, protects and prolongs hair color up to 78 longer, but it's hard for the average person to confirm that. (If you're styling with heat often, why take a chance?) What it immediately delivers after a hot blow-dry is boosted vibrancy in color. Those who have...More

Alberto VO5 Extreme Style Volume Blast Styling Spray

Alberto VO5 Extreme Style Volume Blast Styling Spray

Style won't hold for 24 hours but volume will. I used this to rope my naturally flat hair into a full, beach-y look one evening. Amazingly, my hair still looked big the next morning. (The mess needed restyling, but only with hairspray.) The alcohol formula dries seconds after leaving the aerosol can, leaving a crunchy, stif...More

Sebastian Originals Shaper Plus

Sebastian Originals Shaper Plus

So many false promises for one bottle: "24 hour control" that "holds up in high humidity" reels buyers in, but you must remember, almost nothing is capable of that. It’s true that the hold is "touchable." And the scent is nice, but one spray and you’re surrounded by a thick cloud whose taste li...More

John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Starlit Waves enhancing spray

John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Starlit Waves enhancing spray

This oh-so-pretty, coconut-y spray does help give natural landlocked waves a tousled, beach-y touch. It's particularly good for midday refreshers. And like it promises, it provides "multi-dimensional shine" for brunettes, regardless of whether your color comes courtesy of nature or a bottle. But don't believe the ...More

PHYTO Phytocurl Spray With Passion Flower Extract

PHYTO Phytocurl Spray With Passion Flower Extract

This botanical-laden, earthy-smelling spray adds subtle shine and definition to waves if your hair is thick. Fine, thin hair? Prepare to be weighed down. The product works better as a curl refresher on dry hair than it does on freshly washed hair because it adds oomph to deflated waves without a crunchy feel. Beware if you ...More

Redken workforce 09 flexible volumizing spray

Redken workforce 09 flexible volumizing spray

Despite a "24-hour humidity resistance" stamp, this spray left my fine hair flat after five hours of walking through Manhattan in early September. Indoors, a hefty application of the delicate mist, which smells a bit like bug spray, gives hair noticeable bounce with medium hold and no stiffness or crunchiness. The...More

Garnier Fructis Style Surf Spray

Garnier Fructis Style Surf Spray

Scrunching dry hair with this non-sticky, lemon-alcohol-scented liquid just makes strands look dry and frizzy. However, following the "tousled tendrils" directions on the back of the pump bottle helps hair achieve that beach-y, Jennifer Aniston look. Be sure to secure style with hairspray or it will fall apart fas...More

Redken All Soft Velvet Whip Thermal Softening Treatment

Redken All Soft Velvet Whip Thermal Softening Treatment

My hair resembles wheat in look and feel, so any product with "All Soft" in the name is an easy sell. This light cream contains olive oil, avocado oil and gold camelina to add shine and it does -- but not much. It certainly wasn't silky. It might help protect hair from blow-drying and flatironing, but it doesn't m...More
