Raise the Root Thicken + Lift Spray - All-Day Volume for Fine, Flat Hair without dulling color

I think this works well on my roots, gives me a little needed lift. I like that you can use it on dry hair too, with no oiliness.

Love this product! Use on my roots in damp hair. Once dried, easy to tease and get great volume. I have short, thin hair and it works amazing!

It adds volume at the roots without making my hair feel sticky or greasy. Leaves hair feeling soft and provides a flexible hold. However, it doesn't add as much volume as advertised. It is high-quality product and does not negatively affect hair health. Hair actually looks healthier and thicker afterwards.

I have healthy, short, fine textured hair and I always need to use a root lifter of some kind. This WOW raise the root works wonderfully for my short pixie cut. I spray the lifter onto my damp roots and then blow dry and style it. It gives me just the right amount of lift making my hair appear more voluminous than it is and my hair remains styled throughout the day. The fragrance is so pleasant and fresh. I highly recommend this for fine and flat hair.

I never received my product from ordering here and had to get it some place else. I did, however, want to write a product review based on my experience anyway. It feels like a texturing product. I definitely did not get the dramatic experiences people are showing online and maybe it's because I used it sparingly for a couple of factors. I read reviews that it can be very stiff and has a very strong fragrance which I can't tolerate with anything. I applied it to the roots of each section of damp hair and then combed it in before applying the heat of the blow dryer. Without the product, I can get lift but that lift drops within 10 minutes especially in southern humidity. I typically can't have product in my hair since it is so fine and anything makes it heavy. This product was light, based on my usage, and I did not experience stiffness. It did not feel like hairspray. However, I did not use a ton on my roots and I can feel that if I used anymore product than I did then it would probably be too heavy and wouldn't work. I did experience a little more lift than I normally would after a blow dry and it did drop a bit 10 minutes in. So, my experience is that it works to an extent. A few reviews indicated that the fragrance was so strong that it gave them a migraine. I used this on a day where I had a migraine with the assumption that, if it got worse, I would wash it out promptly. It did not make my migraine worse. I do REALLY wish they made a fragrance free version of this. There is really no need to add fragrance to things unless you are hiding something in the ingredients. By midday, the product stopped working and my hair went back to how it always is.

The best root spray! I used to use a root pump AND a mousse for volume (what can I say, the higher the hair, the closer to God, Ok?!). With this, I was able to cut out the mousse completely! I also use this instead of dry shampoo on days when my hair could use a wash. Just spray it on the roots, flip your head over, and blow dry with a brush. It works better than dry shampoo!

After only a few hours, the product becomes very gritty feeling, and your hair will feel dry and porous to the touch. If you read the ingredients, the first one is denatured alcohol. The rest are other chemicals like polymers. The next morning after using it, my hair felt gummy at the roots where the product had been applied, and it looked dry and dull. My scalp also felt itchy. I didn’t want to risk any further damage or breakage, so I immediately tried to shampoo it out. When I got my hair wet in the shower, it felt weird to the touch, like it had something bonded to it. The first shampoo didn’t remove the buildup or icky coated feeling. I shampooed a second time, something I never do, and it started to feel slightly better, but I could still feel something wasn’t right with my hair. Usually after shampooing, it feels clean and smooth. I didn’t want to do a third shampoo, so I used my regular conditioner and hoped for the best . After blowdrying my hair, it still looked dull and had none of its regular shine or softness which is not at all how my hair usually looks and feels after washing it. The gritty, gummy, feeling at the roots was gone and so was the itching, but my hair still doesn’t feel like it did before I used this product. It definitely damaged my hair. I wish I had checked out the ingredients more thoroughly before buying it. I noted that most of the reviewers who posted a photo or video did so immediately after styling, following their first use of the product, which is when it looks and feels its best. After only a few hours of being in your hair, that’s when the damaging effects will start to appear. This product is getting super over-hyped on social media by influencers. please don’t make the same mistake I did and fall for it . If you need lift at the roots, just use a good quality hairspray and styling products. I reached out to ColorWow with my concerns, and they offered to exchange this product for a different one if I return it. However, after reviewing the list of similar sounding ingredients in their other formulations, I’m going to take the financial hit and the lesson to be more careful in the future. I spent $25 on some thing that is genuinely terrible and should be pulled from the market.

This stuff is really the WOW, I have thin hair but a lot of it, if that makes sense, so it can look and be very flat, with zero volume, I’m not kidding when I say I used this one time, and my hair was transported back to the voluptuous hair of the eighties, haven’t used hair spray in decades but that’s how good the hold was, like I used half a bottle of aqua net to get the hair high, and for it to stay that way without the hard gritty feeling of hair spray, just try it you won’t be sorry, I like others rely on good, even bad reviews before turning over my hard earned dollars on products that may or may not be worth it, so Amazon please please post all reviews even the bad ones
