Frequently asked
Common questions.
How do I use volume spray correctly?
Lift sections of hair at the root. Spray underneath the root, NOT on top. Most users spray top of head, get nothing, and blame the product.
Will volume spray make my hair greasy?
Most don't if applied at root only. Volume spray on lengths and ends causes greasy strands.
Volume spray vs root powder?
Different finishes. Spray adds spring; powder adds grit. Most clients prefer spray for everyday and powder for going-out.
Does volume spray damage hair?
Most don't. Sulphate-light formulas (Living Proof, Aveda) are barrier-friendly.
