Review – Bumble and Bumble Thickening Hairspray

I really enjoy hair products, especially ones that fill my fantasies with thick and long hair.

Thickening hairspray, you say?  You had me at “thick”!

I think this was a Birchbox item. My apologies for not remembering.

Bumble and Bumble Thickening Hairspray retails for $29.00 for 8 oz of product.  You can get a trial/travel size for $10.00 at Sephora.

From Sephora: 

What it is:
A setting spray that offers a moderate hold for all hair types.

What it does:
This spray lifts and holds all hair types—thin, thick, straight, or curly. Use it for blow-drying, setting, protecting from heat, adding volume, lifting, controlling, and finishing any style. Pair this must-have formula with Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner for a little more heft.

My thoughts:

Does it work?

I spray this on my hair after I wash it at night.  What this does is give me more volume and bounce to my hair the next day.  I don’t think it lasts past 1 day of use.  It does fade out and you will need to reapply.  However, if you over use it too many days in a row it becomes sticky.  It did on my hair, at least.  My hair is thick/thin.  I have a full head of fine hair.

Would I re-purchase?

Yes, but not at the full size.  I think the trial size goes a long way, and I don’t use it very regularly.

Thanks for reading!

Review – Bumble and Bumble Surf Shampoo and Conditioner

It has been ages since I tried a Bumble and Bumble product.  (I used to be obsessed with their dry shampoo because it came in the color red)

Recently, a friend who works at Sephora gave me the Bumble and Bumble Surf Shampoo and Creme Rinse to try.

So what did I think?

First of all, the scent is amazing.  It smells like the beach.  It reminded me of lazily hanging on a beach in Cozumel.  Faintly reminiscent of tanning oil, sea, salt, sand.

If this were a lotion or a body spray, I would be obsessed.

Second, it gives you volume.  Bouncy full hair, probably more bouncy and more wavy and beachy if you actually take the time to style it.  I just washed and went.

Third, it is a bit drying for dry prone hair.  The Creme Rinse, is just a rinse not a full fledged conditioner.  If you need more moisture, you won’t like this.

Four, I wish my hair wasn’t dry so that I could use this often.

Have you tried Bumble and Bumble Surf Shampoo and Creme Rinse? What do you think?
