Congratulations, @ElleElleG! My hair is not the market fit volumizing products, either. I’m willing to try the Color Wow since it’s in mousse form, but I’ll still probably need a gel over it.

@ElleElleG  Congratulations on the summer gratis start 😊.  I go through Duck Duck Go to get onto the site. Chrome didn’t work for me either.

@ElleElleG Congrats! I do love the size of the Briogeo. 

I've been having lots of issues accessing the boards on Chrome too. I'm able to access it, but it usually takes signing in multiple times.

Kérastase oil

I am sharing my honest and authentic opinion, as a Sephora Beauty Insider Community Ambassador.  I love that it is refillable to reduce waste. It’s pretty easy to twist the inner tube out to replace it with a new one which I appreciate. I have been using it after I shower and placing one pump towards the middle to ends of my hair. I have more coarse, dry, and wavy hair and found it to be also hydrating on my dry scalp. Although I didn’t notice a whole lot of added shine or less frizz, it did help nourish and hydrate my dry scalp and ends of my hair making it feel softer than without. I also tried it before flat ironing my hair and could see and feel how much smoother and softer it made it feel. I will also be adding it before I shampoo as a hot oil treatment.

It’s definitely worth a test in store or trial of the mini version to see if you would like it or not. Overall I was pretty impressed with it.

Dae leave in cream

I am sharing my honest and authentic opinion, as a Sephora Beauty Insider Community Ambassador.  This isn’t my first time trying the styling cream as I got 2 deluxe samples of it before from Sephora. I do love the fruity sweet smell which is the same scent as the hair mist.

After using the styling cream for a couple of months now, I found it to be just okay for my hair type (more coarse, dry, and wavy).  I have tried it on wet hair after a shower and let my hair air dry while out doing errands. I didn’t notice it enhancing my waves or helping with frizz. I did make sure to use a small amount (nickel size) and warm it in between my hands before spreading it from the middle to ends of my hair. A little goes a long way if you don’t want your hair to feel like it has too much product in it or weighing it down. I also tried it on dry hair （the next day after a hair wash）. Although I didn’t see an increase in shine it did make my hair feel a little softer.

Overall it’s a good product but not a great product for my hair type.

Moroccan oil hairspray

I am sharing my honest and authentic opinion, as a Sephora Beauty Insider Community Ambassador.  I love that this has the same signature scent as the tried and true hair oil and body mist. I styled my hair with loose waves early in the day and immediately sprayed it on after I was done to hold the style longer. It kept the waves in tact the rest of the day. I also made sure to not sleep on my hair but lay it above my head and the waves were still good as when I curled it the day before. Even though the volume was gone on the top of my head It still kept the volume below.  It also didn’t make my hair feel crunchy or hard like some hairsprays do which I really appreciated. Although I didn’t notice much shine from the product, I did see that it helped with frizziness that I normally get. Overall, love the scent and how it feels and keeps my style in tact. I will be adding it to my loves list when I need a new one.

Amika Volumizer

I am sharing my honest and authentic opinion, as a Sephora Beauty Insider Community Ambassador.  I love that it has a lock twist function when you are not using it. It makes it easy to travel on road trips with.  I sprayed my roots at the crown of my head in three sections-top and both sides and rubbed the product in to create the volume. It did add instant volume when first applied and didn’t make my hair feel stiff or crunchy.  Sadly, the volume on top didn’t keep throughout the day unless I applied more product (it did last several hours though).  Love the concept of it but wish it would last longer without having to reapply it throughout the day or applying too much product all at once.

Bridgeo stick

I am sharing my honest and authentic opinion, as a Sephora Beauty Insider Community Ambassador.  I know most people would apply it straight to your hair from the tube but I actually found it best to warm the product onto the palms of your hands first. You can then get a feel of the texture or you can use the product on your hand and smooth out flyaways/frizz that way. I found that if you just apply the stick and don’t warm it up first that it could either apply too much product or cause a greasy mess. By warming it on your palm it makes it easier to slick your hair back with it. You don’t need to rub it in hard just softly glide it through your hair and then use a comb if needed to get a clean sleek look.  It’s been great for my bangs which I part sideways now.  Now I don’t have to always use gel to sleek back my updos because this works just as well and creates some shine.

Color wow volumizer

I am sharing my honest and authentic opinion, as a Sephora Beauty Insider Community Ambassador.  I’m used to creating volume in my hair with an aerosol spray not foam texture so this definitely was something I was interested in trying. I only pumped a quarter size amount into my hands. Then I rubbed the product in sections at the crown of my head and then throughout the lower portions of the waves I created the day before. Immediate va va voom volume.  It revived my day after waves and made it look fresh and it kept the volume for hours without making it look flat or limp. I was shocked at how much I liked the foam texture. It didn’t make my hair feel or look greasy or sticky or stiff but touchable and soft. I definitely recommended this product if you are looking to add instant and lasting volume into your hair style.
