What They Say: "Our patented formula—which includes certified organic honey, burdock and marshmallow root—creates weightless volume on fine and medium hair. Adds shine without build-up or weight. Uses air-infused technology."

Jen's Experience: I generally use a whole menagerie of volume-building and shine-building products with my hair, starting with my volumizing shampoo and ending with the shine serum that ends my daily hair care routine. Here's a product that claims to help in both respects, so I had to give it a whirl. I like that it's similar to a mousse, which is tops for volume, but that it doesn't contain alcohol. It appears to be liquid in the bottle, but pressing the pump a couple of times results in a handful of light foam. Using the right amount (which appears to be two pumps) is perfect for light, fluffy volume that lasts for a couple of days. Too much, though, and I get stiff, greasy hair with no volume at all. It's a fine line. When it's works, it's great, but when it doesn't, my hair looks pretty pathetic. Would I recommend it? If you've got fine to medium hair, and don't mind experimenting, this may be a great product for you. But if you're like me and are looking for something more foolproof, you should pass on this product.
