bdTrial: Pumping up the volume

The BD team compare a range of volumising and texturising sprays on the market.

John Frieda Luxurious Volume Anytime Volume Refresher Dry Shampoo
Just like Dolly Parton, I am a big believer when it comes to hair, the bigger, the better. John Frieda Luxurious Volume Anytime Volume Refresher Dry Shampoo does double duty, banishing oily locks and making sure the va-va-voom volume sticks around, no matter how long it’s been since I reached for the shampoo. - Sarah

Schwarzkopf Extra Care Dry Conditioner
I have quite fine hair, so I’m always in need of some extra volume. Schwarzkopf Extra Care Dry Conditioner delivers just that, as well as instantly hydrating those dry ends without dragging my hair down or leaving an oily residue. The refreshing citrus scent is definitely a plus! - Laura

TONI&GUY Hair Care Casual Rough Texturiser
I like the texture sea salt spray gives my hair, but I hate the woolly feel that comes with it. The Casual Rough Texturiser delivers a similarly dishevelled style with a matte finish, while ensuring hair still feels soft and clean. Giving good grit isn't the only thing making this a must-have in my books - it also smells delish and adds impressive volume. - Yelena

VO5 Dry Texturising Spray
I’m a tousle-and-hustle kinda girl, which is why I have a solid line-up of texturising sprays. This one from VO5 is the best I’ve come across in a long while: it has sea salt, but goes on dry for that beachy wave look sans the crunchy feel. And it smells DIVINE. - Katia

Garnier Full & Luscious Volume Booster Texturising Spray
I’m pretty in love with volumising sprays: they provide some serious OOMPH, minus the grittiness that dusts or powders offer. This Garnier product is a gem with a delicious fragrance and a low price point - so every gal can be whipping their hurr back n’ forth. - Kelly

Fudge Sea Salt Spray
I’ve always been a huge fan of tousled and textured locks. But as luck would have it, Asian hair just doesn’t fall that way. I’m happy to say this salt spray delivered a “I woke up like this” look that I could only wish for. Its rough texture gave my locks a dreadlock look that made me feel part-hipster, part-gypsy. Yay! - Jocelyn

Pantene Dry Shampoo Volume Booster
I wouldn’t describe my hair as voluminous in any sense of the word, but a good boosting spray fixes my hair woes in a flash. The Pantene Pro-V Volume Booster Dry Shampoo is a handy two-in-one product that absorbs oil and adds volume, without weighing the hair down. A quick spritz of this in the morning and I’m good to go! - Aja

KMS California ADDVOLUME Root and Body Lift
I’m seriously missing beach hair, so I decided to try to create that carefree, tousled look myself. The KMS California Add Volume gave me the lift and body my hair needed to drag it out of its winter slumber. I just popped it into in my towel-dried hair and quickly blasted my hair with the hair-dryer - the result was a loose but controlled curled, with tons of boost. Now I just need the sun and saltwater bit… - Nat

Sebastian Professional Texture Maker
My hair is notoriously difficult to tousle and texturise, and often just gets sticky and falls flat, so I was very pleasantly surprised when this product actually worked in my hair! I tried it on both damp and dry hair but found it worked more effectively when my hair was slightly wet. It gave me a great gritty texture that enhanced the slight natural curl in my hair, and I could then use my fingers to either twist my hair into tousled, beachy waves, or ‘scrunch’ it up for a more messy vibe. Oh, and it also smells ah-mazing! - Deb
