Garnier Fructis Style Volume Inject Mousse

When I finally ran out of my last mousse, I didn't have a lot of cash, so I thought I would try out a drugstore brand, and because I've been seeing a lot of advertisements for Garnier's hair products, I had to give theirs a try.

What They Say: Take control of your style! Garnier Fructis Style, with fruit micro-waxes, gives you the power to create and control any hairstyle you want. What is volume inject mousse? It is a new generation styling product that builds weightless volume and body that lasts all day without stiffness.

Jen's Experience: When I first started using this product, I was absolutely in love. It didn't provide as much volume as the last mousse I was using, but it never got sticky or stiff no matter how much I overapplied it to one section or how much I let my hair air-dry. It completely met my expectations, and I was thrilled to have bouncy but touchable hair. Over time though, I noticed that my hair was looking less and less healthy and shiny, and though process of elimination, it seems that this mousse may be a little too hard on my hair for everyday use. Although I am no longer using this as part of my daily routine, I do still use it for special events, with no obvious damage to my hair.

Profound Beauty Volume Power Spray

What They Say: "This patent-pending 75mph spray creates unprecedented volume, thickness and dramatic root lift. Micro-fine styling particles are released at high speed, propelling the product directly to the root of the hair, resulting in intense lift and windblown, spontaneous movement."

Melissa Says: This definitely did give my hair a bit of a boost, especially when used throughout my entire hair while bending over and spraying liberally (one of the suggested applications). Once I brushed it through I had increased body with no buildup at all and a soft look. However, in terms of root-lifting, I couldn't achieve a significant difference. I think perhaps my hair is too heavy for the holding level of this spray for me to get any significant root volume from it that didn't get quickly weighed down; this is why I believe this could be a great natural-feel body building spray for those with fine or thin hair. For me, it's nice for a boost in overall fullness, but it didn't achieve exactly what it promised.

Retail Price: $26.00 (at select salons and distributors; go to profoundbeauty.com to find one near you)
