I can’t say that I’m all that interested in hair products, because normally, I’d like to consider myself pretty low-maintenance with my hair. Over the last year or so, I’ve been trying to keep my hair healthy and maintained with regular trims and re-freshening my hair with moderate re-layering. I’ve also changed my general hair routine to washing every 2-3 days, using a deep conditioning mask in place of conditioner, and using hair oil/serum before letting my hair simply air dry. Since this change, I’ve noticed much fuller hair without any volumizing products, my scalp seems more balanced, and my hair seems to be growing at an astronomical rate!
However, I’ve been having some trouble maintaining texture in my hair without product/product build-up. Keeping my roots clean is essential since I leave a few days in between before washing. I’ve noticed that if I use hair wax for volume and fringe maintenance, my roots get oilier quicker and I haven’t been able to find a decent solution.
Enter Bumble and Bumble Thickening Dryspun Finish.
The Bumble and Bumble Thickening Dryspun Finish is “a translucent dry spray for instant fullness and texture.” Much like hairsrpay, you shake the can and hold it a few inches away from your hair before spraying. It “creates instant fullness and texture to spin hair into an airy silhouette.” The texture of this spray is super lightweight and feels like nothing is coming out of the can. In fact, it just feels like air with some weight to it. The “raw silk powders with light-holding polymers adhere instantly for a softly interlaced texture to make hair look weightless and effortlessly full—and keep it that way.”
I lift my hair in sections and spray the product underneath. I shake my fingers through my hair and re-arrange it around my head as I continue to spray. It gives me lift and slight volume that’s piecey and “worn in” looking. It keeps my hair from getting oily since it’s dry air and not waxy like most of my hair styling products. For me, I spray this in my hair the night after washing in the morning. My piecy, yet naturally “put together” look stays throughout the day and into night…well into the next day without issues. It doesn’t dry hard like hairspray, but somehow keeps everything together without looking too neat. It seems to thicken up the texture of my hair, giving it some lift and volume without looking or feeling heavy. On day 2 hair when my hair usually goes up in a bun, I spray this into the ends of my hair and it gives my bun some oomph.
It’s expensive, but worth it in my opinion — so if what I’ve described sounds like a look you’re going for, I’d recommend this product. If you’re looking for strong hold/hairspray, this isn’t the product for you. However, if a messy worn-in look is your thing, give this a try!
