I tried it Tuesday: Paul Mitchell Volumizer

Tuesdays are "I Tried It Tuesdays" where I'll tell you about something I recently tried -- an item, a movie, an activity, etc.

Today's topic:
Paul Mitchell Hair Volumizing Spray Root Lifter

What it is: A hair product that you spray on damp (or dry) hair that promises to make your hair look and feel fuller and thicker. Or...in my girlfriend, Jen's words: "You know how all the stars say hair is best to style when it's dirty...well, this gives you that 'dirty hair' feel and texture without greasy, dirty hair."

Why I tried it: I'm growing my hair out and it is just...ugly right now. Not short, not long...sort of shaggy and dark and ragged looking. I was telling Jen that I don't know why I try to grow my hair out because it's never as full and thick as I hope it will be. She told me about PM Volumizer and gave me some to try.

What you do: You spray it on -- sparingly -- damp or dry hair and then use your hands to scrunch it in. Then, blow dry your hair. The spray reacts with the heat from the hairdryer to thicken hair.

Does it work: Yes. I definitely noticed a big difference when I used the Volumizer (big, thick hair) versus the flat, limp hair God gave me.

Did I like it: Yes and no. I like the thickness of my hair, but I didn't like the feeling of the spray...it made my hair feel dirty (even though it didn't look that way). It should be said, though, that I am the kind of woman who isn't big on any kind of hair product or elaborate styles. I do not own a curling iron and it takes me about 2 months to use a bottle of hairspray. So...it could be that I'm just not used to "product" hair at all.

Would I recommend it: Yes...if you're looking for fullness..you will find it with this stuff. Just be aware that if you're not the kind who typically uses a lot of hair products, you may not like the feel of it.

Cost/Where to get it: Paul Mitchell is only sold at Salons...but it's sold at most salons (even Wal-Mart's salon). An 8.5 ounce bottle is about $10 or so.
