L'Oreal Paris Studio Line #TXT Volume Supersizing Spray

L'Oreal Studio Line #TXT Volume Supersizing Spray. £3.79

I've never been a huge fan of using too many products such as hairspray & mousse as they really don't tend to agree with my fine hair. I usually just stick to a light oil, a heat protection spray and a little bit of dry shampoo. However, texturising sprays (the newest kids on the block) really caught my eye as my hair always falls quite flat and too much backcombing just isn't that good for the hair. I had read rave reviews on the Oribe Dry Texturising Spray and the Bumble&Bumble Thickening Dryspun Finish, but there was just no way in the world I was prepared to pay those prices just for a bit of texture and volume! £38 Oribe? REALLY? So you can imagine my face when I spotted the advert for this spray. I was aaaaaallll over it!

How can I describe this spray? You know when you've just washed your hair and it just won't go how you want it to as it's just too soft and smooth? This spray just gives it that grit it needs to behave and go the way you want it to. It's applies like a dry shampoo - without the horrible white cast you get from most of them. L'Oreal advise to style in the following ways:

1. Divide dry hair into upper and lower section.
2. Spray each section generously and scrunch hair.
3.Continue to spray until you reach your desired volume.

I have found it works well that way, but also just spraying a bit in the roots for a little extra boost works well too. I honestly really like this spray, as it gives a gritty feel to the hair without weighing it down and making it look dirty. It's an absolute godsend when I'm wearing my hair in a messy bun as it just goes exactly the way I want it to. The smell is an absolute brucey bonus aswell - diviiine! The one thing I will say is that it have the best staying power when I'm wearing my hair down. I do find I have to apply a little bit more after a few hours but that's not a dealbreaker for me!

All in all - I will definitely be repurchasing this spray again and again. However, a few other highstreet brands have jumped on the bandwagon and I don't think my self control stretches as far as not trying them out!

Have you tried any of the latest texturising sprays? I'd love to read your reviews!
