Well, I had meant to style my hair last night, so I applied the COLOR WOW Xtra Large Bombshell Volumizer #but ran out of time, so I ended up air drying and going to sleep without styling. Then this morning, I just had to put it up in a bun to keep it out of my face all day.

So, I was pleasantly surprised when I finally took it down this evening! 

it felt soft but definitely more voluminous than air drying on my own. You can see the difference in waves though compared to the dae styling cream I posted below. This smoothed out my waves considerably. 

Anyway, I look forward to trying again and actually styling my hair!

Your hair looks so stunning! I think this is such a great product! @sister13 

[sister13]

Thanks! I am really enjoying the volume without any stickiness and tangles. It still feels soft but definitely with more volume at the root and throughout. @peculiarzmakeup 

[CookieGirl1]

@sister13 wow, it definitely gave your hair some volume!  Your hair is so long and pretty 😍.

[sister13]

Thanks so much! I like that it still feels soft when using this but definitely more volume. @CookieGirl1 

[CorgiMommy]

@sister13 do you ever have a bad hair day?  Your look is awesome 

[sister13]

Aww, thanks, it definitely  gets greasy and flat sometimes, but I did get lucky in the hair department! @CorgiMommy 

[Titian06]

Wow, that's volume, @sister13 ! 🔊  Your hair is enviable!

[sister13]

Thanks, this really surprised me, somehow I thought it would only ; work if I heat styled it! @Titian06

Today I used all Color Wow products-

COLOR WOW Color Security Shampoo 8.4 oz/ 250 mL 

COLOR WOW Money Mask Deep Hydrating & Strengthening Hair Treatment 7.5 oz/ 215 mL 

to wash and condition my hair.

I used the Money Mask on my ends for extra moisture, COLOR WOW Xtra Large Bombshell Volumizer , and COLOR WOW Dream Coat Supernatural Spray Anti-Frizz Treatment  before blow drying my hair. I was told my hair “looked soft” and it was really bouncy.

I added COLOR WOW Pop + Lock Frizz Control + Glossing Serum 1.8 oz/ 55 mL   for some added moisture and shine. Not sure that it added that much shine but it did help with smoothing.

In case anyone is needing tips on how to use the Briogeo Style + Treat™ Yuzu + Plum Oil Hair Styling Sleek Stick 0.5 oz / 15g   I have finally figured out how to apply it without looking like I have never heard of shampoo.  
i spread it onto a makeup palette and then use a Ben Nye STB-07 makeup brush (it’s a glorified toothbrush) to take it off the palette. I then apply it to my hair using the brush.  It goes on much better that way and takes care of any and all flyaways.

Thanks for sharing, @heartsmyface ! 💖💖💖

[sister13]

Good tip. I applied directly which worked but I would only do it when I know I’m washing that day or the next because it was a lot. @heartsmyface 

[peculiarzmakeup]

This is so creative and useful thanks for sharing this tip I feel like this could be super helpful 🙂 @heartsmyface 

[heartsmyface]

@peculiarzmakeup  It worked much better than applying it directly did.  I suppose it could have passed slicked back in a tight pony.

[CorgiMommy]

@heartsmyface great idea 

[sister13]

First time using the dae Cactus Fruit 3-in-1 Styling Cream Original . Since my primary hair routine is air dry due to lack of time and laziness, this is a big test! 

I was really impressed on this first use. It gave some extra definition to my wavy hair that’s gotten long and needs a haircut. I think I might use a touch more product next time but I never want to start with too much.

This is how it looked after applying to damp hair and just letting it air dry. It felt soft and not sticky and still had a nice shine. And it smells amazing, relatively strong and fruity but not necessarily noticeable after application. I plan to use it at least once more before parting my full review but wanted to post initial thoughts. 

Thanks again @TeamBIC  and dae for the chance to try it out!!

I love your waves, @sister13!

[Titian06]

Gorgeous waves in your hair, @sister13 ! 😍

[makeitup305]

@sister13 it looks really good for an air dry. I need to give it a try still. What shampoo and conditioner are you using? any leave-ins before this one?

[sister13]

Thanks! For shampoo and conditioner, I mostly alternate between Kerastase Blond Absolu Bain Lumiere Kérastase Blond Absolu Hydrating Illuminating Shampoo 8.5 oz/ 250 mL + Kérastase Blond Absolu Strengthening Conditioner 

 and

 Kérastase Première Repairing Shampoo for Damaged Hair 8.5 oz / 250 ml + Kérastase Première Masque Filler Réparateur For Damaged Hair 6.76 oz / 200 mL 

I usually do the Innersense Sweet Spirit Leave in conditioner spray and the Kérastase Première Sérum Filler Fondamental For Damaged-Hair 3.04 oz / 90 mL heat protectant before any styling products. @makeitup305
