HollyDay Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 So, I decided on a whim to cut about 8-10 inches off my hair. Totally unlike me to do something so radical and spur of the moment, but I did. And I like it. They stylist recommended I use a texture hair spray to give it more "umph" on days when it needs it. She didn't push a product or give a recommendation, which in some ways I appreciate. The salon uses Bumble and Bumble, which I like, but it is pricey. I've tried Batiste dry shampoo before and it broke out my scalp. So, not going back to that (fortunately, dd likes it). So, what texture sprays does the Hive recommend?

LuvToRead Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I haven't found one I love, but I can tell you I don't like the Verb sea salt spray. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does help. I was looking at that one on line. I tried Not Your Mother's Sea Salt spray today and it was not what I was looking for. The affect was great! But, I didn't like the feel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I didn't like the feel I never heard of sea salt spray before this thread so I am no help but I am really curious. I have lots of allergies to hair products so I need to proceed with caution but would love something to control my hair so I plan to follow your thread. 😉 Sea salt sounds like it has potential if I can find the most basic one. One of the reviews of Not Your Mother’s said that it smells wonderful........is it scented heavily? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They claim their product only "has good stuff". No parabens, gluten, or sulfates. I've seen DIY recipes for seal salt spray, but I haven't tried any. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I didn't like the feel I just bought some Joico body shake, but I haven't had a chance to try it. My all time favorite is Sexy Hair's Soy Renewal Beach Spray. It has been discontinued so I am hoarding what I have left. You use it on wet hair, so it's not a hair spray. Most of these kinds of products do make my hair feel very dry and straw-like.

school17777 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) I use Amika. https://loveamika.com/products/undone-volume-and-matte-texture-spray Amika products smell really good! I got the styling brush gift set which comes with several products including the texture spray. Edited April 10, 2019 by school17777 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zimom Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 A few visits ago my stylist recommended Living Proof Full Dry Volume Blast. I really like it but I'm too frugal to spend the $$ for the # of uses per can. YMMV. Apply it to dry hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyforlatin Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 So with salt spray, do you have do anything else except spray it into your hair? And it gives you volume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Root Lift. You put it into your hair near the scalp and it gives you some body there. It's too heavy for all over use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it gives you volume? It doesn't necessarily give volume, but rather texture. I don't use it on my roots, I use mousse and a blow dryer for volume. The salt spray just makes my hair look not as straight. The ends look a bit wispier. I know I'm not doing a great job explaining this. **I do sometimes use it on my roots, not always. I am always trying something different, so I can't remember what I do one day to the next! Edited April 11, 2019 by LuvToRead 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
