The Instant Lift Thickening Spray is perfect to add volume and lift to your style but it does not have heat protection.

pretty good if used correctly.
My first mistake when using this product was that I piled it on my damp freshly washed hair like some sort of leave in spray conditioner. Which left my hair feeling overly hard and stuff (like hairspray). But after re-washing my hair, spraying just a couple sprays near the root area on each side of ...

Light Hold - Not Much Texture
I'm so so sorry to say that this light hold and minimal texture really didn't do much for my short textured and layered hair. The hold is pretty light and I needed to back it up with another texture spray to get the fuller effect. This bottle says to use 5-7 sprays, I used a lot more and still felt ...

Light Hold - Not Much Texture
Hair Type Straight Hair
I'm so so sorry to say that this light hold and minimal texture really didn't do much for my short textured and layered hair. The hold is pretty light and I needed to back it up with another texture spray to get the fuller effect. This bottle says to use 5-7 sprays, I used a lot more and still felt like my hair was flat. I did blow-dry my hair upside down like the bottle said but it still didn't do much. This will not be my daily go-to but I will use it for light hold days and I'll surely use a lot more sprays than suggested. I like this brand of products and will continue to buy other products from this line. Their Thickening Mousse has a lot of hold and scrunches well for a textured and volumes look. I'll go for their mousse instead next time. Glad I got to try this out, however!!!
Nice Texture, Soft Hold
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I bought this online to give it a try as I have used a lot of different texture sprays on my shorter hair. I bought 5 texture products from Ulta and this texture spray offers soft hold and nice texture. I did blow dry my hair with this product and it helped me get better volume and texture. I will surely buy this product again! Also, prices are great, especially during sale times. I much prefer to shop online because I like to try new things often. Thanks for another great product!!!

Great product
