Okay, so I have been cursed with a head of very fine and very plentiful hair (when I was a wee girl, I remember a hairdresser telling me with just the slightest trace of distaste in her voice: "wow...your hair is so thin...and you have so much of it...") and if you're anything like me, after several decades of living with this condition, you still have difficulty keeping your feathery tresses from becoming greasy and wilted like a week-old bouquet of hand-ripped lawn dandelions approximately 60 seconds after stepping out of the shower. Now, despite the unfortunate condition of my hair, I've always been very skeptical of "volumizing" shampoos (where's this volume supposed to come from?? it's just another bottle of viscous liquid detergent, like all the others!), and skeptical I remain to this day—this is not an inane beauty blog entry about how "I Finally Found A ____ That Works! Amazinggg!!1". However, whilst poking around the internets recently in search of new ideas for adding a little moxie to the puff of shoulder-length brown smoke that is my hair, I stumbled upon this product alongside the suggestion that we greasy and limp-haired folks could benefit from swapping out the standard rinse-out conditioner for a lighter leave-in spray formulation, like this one. I figured why not? I mean, this stuff isn't even close to "expensive" when you (again, like myself) are the sort of fiscally irresponsible person who has almost certainly burned thousands of dollars on extortionately priced hair products because you assume that $$$ = "rich people secret," only to be sorely disappointed that rich people either 1. don't actually seem to have any miracle secret solutions for looking too good, or 2. if they do, they take those secrets to the grave. So I tried this, and I quite like it - I still use it to this day. It won't revolutionize the look of your head, but it's definitely been an improvement over my old routine in keeping the grease at bay for longer and I honestly feel like there's a smidge more oomph to my situation up there. This won't be the miracle-awesome-blown-away-fantastic-solution-to-all-my-problems-I've-never-thought-I-could-look-this-good product you might be hoping for (of course, it could be that I'm just the rare exceptional doofus that actually falls for beauty hype hook, line, and sinker), but I like this stuff and I don't have to wait two minutes in the shower for the conditioner to be "done" anymore. I've taken points off only for the scent, it's not anywhere near bad, but I definitely don't love it, no biggie.
