Awful Product

I swear by the quality of Aveda, and I needed hairspray and bought this. It is way too stiff. My hair felt like I was wearing a helmet. It makes one's hair look fake and old lady like (no offense intended, but hair stylists tend to overdo the hair spray on older ladies) and for hair that is thin and has no body at all. I couldn't even run a brush or comb through my hair. I washed my hair, and promptly returned it.

Gross

The worst thing about this is the strong, very herbal smell. Right behind that, though, is the stickiness of the spray. It gums up all over the bottle top, and stays the same way on hair. It made my hair flat and sticky. And it's expensive too! This is simply an awful spray.

Awful product

This hairspray is very sticky. It doesn't add volume at all--in fact, it causes clumping and crunchiness. It also clogs the pump very easily and doesn't dispense well. It shoots out in a stream rather than a fine mist. I would never purchase this again.

Natural looking all day hold without flattening, stickiness or helmet head look.

I never paid attention to the "volume" claim of Pure Abundance. I just use it to hold my hair in place without that "cement look" It is not heavy or sticky. It held my hair all day and through the night after getting it salon styled and sprayed(the stylist recommended it and loved it herself)for my daughter's wedding in May. I was also able to touch my hair up with out it flatt...read moreening out-maybe that's why they tout it as volumizing. My hair style is relatively natural looking, but was styled with added volume for the wedding for a "dressier" and the spray left it looking that way.

Good Product

I have to disagree with the negative reviews. I have fine, thin hair and this used with the volumizing shampoo add a lot of volume; doesn't leave my hair looking stiff or feeling dirty.

fine thin hair and it's a CLUMP

Ever saw the Klumps? that's what happens when you use this hairspray. First off, it shoots out like Windex (one shot stream, not a mist), and then you have to work furiously fast to try and spread that jet spray on as many little hairs as you can, and you fail miserably, and you end up with a KLUMP of wet, sticky, spray hair in just that one spot. No good, Sherman. The Pure Abundance powder is...read more not much better. It's not a powder. It quickly turns sticky. Seriously, it takes less time to just wash and dry your hair again than to try and make it look good using these products. And that stinks b/c I'm usually an Aveda fan. :(*

It smells great!

I do like this product.....lift and spray lightly and it will keep your hair "fluffed", but it does make it stiff (although it doesn't look stiff. It's hard to brush out, but it washes out okay and I find it lasts all day.

I have fine, thick hair, and I LOVE it

I have found this product definitely adds volume to my fine locks. You can't use a ton of it or it will weigh your hair down, but if you use the right amount it not only holds, but adds volume as well. Like all Aveda products, the scent is phenomenal. I would definitely recommend it to others.

It weighs your hair down

I have fine, limp hair and this product does not work for me at all. Yor hair looks stiff and clumpy.
