Volumizing Blow Dry Mist

Product Information

After I used the straightener to simultaneously straighten and also curl my hair (that, ladies and gentlemen, is my talent), I was able to muster up the dexterity to use a round brush and blow dry—just a little—at my roots to seal in the volume. Together they create volume and styling that lasts longer and won’t leave any product residue on the hair—it’s also recommended for use to refresh second-day hair.

I've tried a lot of Olaplex products, but haven't felt enough about them to make myself a diehard loyalist. It usually takes me a solid 45 minutes to blowdry my hair normally with my typical products, but this cut the entire experience nearly in half, which is astonishing considering how much hair I have. Based on an independent consumer perception study of 43 women with fine to medium hair who use blow dry products.If you know how to use sea salt spray or have used similar hair mist products such as hairspray or dry shampoo for oily hair, the experience is pretty comparable. The only thing keeping me from making this a full five-star review is the slightly matte texture it gave my hair, making it ever so slightly dry on the very ends. After the initial blow dry I did find that my hair was no longer matte, but it did feel ever so slightly drier at the very ends than it would have usually.

Containing Pea peptides, this volumizing mist helps to plump, hydrate and protect the hair strands for strong, healthy hair that feels fresh and revived. I think maybe they should market it predominately as a heat protection spray first, then volumising, as it beats the rest of the top brands in that regard, no contest. If you've been debating air drying vs blow drying because you don't want to damage your hair with heat, this product will eradicate that fear. If you’re ready to try this product at home, curly hair specialist and Olaplex ambassador, Christin Brown, explains exactly how to use the product: You want to apply on wet hair after you've detangled it, she says. Starring a patented active ingredient that works on a molecular level, OLAPLEX formulas seek out broken bonds in the hair (which are caused by chemical, thermal and mechanical damage) and repair them, restoring compromised locks to former glory.

Within 25 minutes, I had blown out my entire head, and it was smooth and even voluminous in its own way. The blow dry mist has a spray lid that is not at all stiff or difficult to use, causing no over-saturation or added wetness that could interfere with styling. Using it as directed by spritzing onto damp hair and blow drying with a round brush, I was looking for a noticeable change in my hair that I wouldn't find with blow drying alone. I have never been the biggest fan of heat protectant or styling sprays, as both tend to leave a gritty texture in my hair or make it look even more dry than it is. Have you noticed your tresses become dry, brittle and elastic since you began bleaching, perming or heat-styling?

With heat protection up to 232 degrees celsius, plus technology to prevent frizz, cut drying time and add volume to wet or dry hair, it promises a lot. Olaplex promises that this product will speed up blow drying time and I certainly found that to be true. I first rough dried and then followed up with a round hair dryer brush to get extra lift at the roots and achieve a bouncier finish. What’s more, it helps to speed up your blow dry time, while also boosting volume — so you’re left with luscious, bouncy tresses with zero stickiness and endless shine. As a heat protectant, it's great; it's super light, speeds up my blowdry, and smells fresh, kind of like laundry.Meanwhile, she says, "Bamboo extract lipopeptide help protect from styling damage and promote style retention, and pea peptides plump, hydrate, and protect strands. The Volumizing Blow Dry Mist repairs and protects hair for faster, healthier-looking blowouts with buildable volume with lasting body and bounce. While packaging and ingredients do always play a part in how I feel about a product, the most important thing is undoubtedly how it performs. My new go-to hair product for humidity, heat protection, and a bouncy blow dry, this will be joining the ranks with my other coveted Olaplex products. And even so, a 'volumizing' hair mist seems like something I don't necessarily need in my arsenal — my hair already has a ton of volume.
