COLOR WOW Xtra Large Bombshell Volumizer - New Alcohol-Free Technology for Lasting Volume and Thickness

This stuff is pricey but it really worksBig hair results

Why did you choose this product over others?:Lots of reviews said this product was not sticky and doesn't weigh down the hair so this was the reason why I bought it. It is a bit sticky in the hands and takes a good 3-5 minutes to evaporate off. The bottle says to use 2-3 pumps on each section and apply root to tip. It looks like a lot at first but I did it anyway. After it slid off the barrel, I was upset to then feel the product in my hair and see it dried in the hair like mousse but after a few brushes, the clumped up strands separated into individual hairs and it felt like there was nothing in my hair. My hair felt clean.My hair right now:I am a victim of having flat hair no matter how many layers I get put in, products used or length hair I have. I am of Indian heritage, have fine silky glossy hair that is thinning, I am nearly 40 and have psoriasis on my scalp. Having a good hair day is difficult. I even lightened my hair to stiffen the hair structure and bought an airwrap to help and my hair still dropped.I got so fed up and now have a chin length bob haircut with small side fringes. My fringe has started to flatten as it's grown and the rest seems to clump together and weigh down. The hair at the back of my head has decided to start parting itself and flattening on my head just after a few hours of washing and hairdrying it, which is really annoying and looks silly, in my opinion.After using product:I used the airwrap (big barrel) and 2-3 pumps per section on wet-damp hair. I had about 20 sections that were going on the barrel. My hair had dramatically lifted after taking the section off the barrel, which never happens with other products, but I knew not to get too excited because my hair always drops. Got to the fringe last and it was beautiful how it came off the barrel and after running my hands through the hair a few times still held it's shape. I looked like a mushroom but I knew it would drop. After 45 mins, no surprise, my hair had dropped a little bit but still had good volume. I was still doubtful that after a planned day in the sun, it would be flat soon enough. I got through a whole day of doing things like washing dishes (which steams and ruins my hair), heat in the house, outdoor heat, a bit of sweat, karaoke, drinking, wind and my hair was still volumised when I went to bed. It had fallen a tiny bit more but was still way better than anything else I've used before and even my husband said how it had held up really well. I've woken up this morning and it is still voluminous and still feels and looks clean. I am tempted to wash my hair again today and do it again because I'm not sure how long the volume will stay and I am due to go out again in the heat. Overall I think this is a winner. I'm not sure how good this is for psoriasis but I don't care if I can look this good. The volume helps to hide the flakes.The hair on the back of my head is flat today, probably from sleeping on a pillow, but the parting is not there because I styled it better and think this product has helped the roots to point in the right direction.3 pumps is alot but if you have lifeless hair like mine, and you are going out for something special, do it.I don't normally leave reviews this lengthy but I know there are women out there who struggle to get that volume and sometimes the salon can't even get it right.Tips-You have to work fast for your hair not to dry out, otherwise I suspect it would be sticky.-Pump directly on the roots, rub it in a bit and slide product down to the tip.-You have to overvolumise to beat the dropping of the hair.-Whatever heat appliance you use, lift the roots towards the ceiling.-Cool set each section.-Brush hair upwards to keep the direction of the lift in place

I saw a video on TikTok which made me think, "Wow, I must give this a try - my hair is going to be amazing". I ignored the comments from the people that said it didn't work on fine hair....but I admit, they were correct. I followed all the instructions and yet my hair felt icky and greasy and was flatter than the tyre on my car that time I accidentally hit the kerb going 30mph 🫠 I could even sense the disdain from my dog that I fell for the hype, had pancake-flat-greasy hair, and wasted £20 that otherwise could have been spent on a new Teddy for him.I am an optimist and gave it a second try, using a minimal amount of product... same result, colleagues swerved me at work obviously assuming that I had become a soap dodger, so I immediately uninstalled the TikTok app.Anyway, the real kicker was that the bottle wasn't shut properly. My husband laid the package down flat (I probably told him it was something for work) and by the time I got home, my kitchen worktop was already wearing most of the product. No complaints from her, but she's also made of wood so it's your choice on who to believe. Not only am I £20 down, but I also had to bribe the dog with expensive treats so that he didn't tell his dad about the entire debacle, where ultimately I'd receive another lecture about falling for clever advertising.Anyway if your hair is fine, this is not for you. If your hair is not fine then you probably don't need it anyway (lucky cow) and go buy your dog a new toy instead.P.S. I lied about uninstalling TikTok... and I definitely have not learned my lesson.

A little expensive but I will purchase again because it does the job!Picture on the right is just using WOW and blow drying hair, volume right from roots

Bit expensive but really good, great volume for hair, recommend

The first time I used it I thought it was so bad that it must be faulty. There was really no result at all and the foam is really watery so went back to all reviews to see what the issue might be. The foam is supposed to be watery -according to reviews- and it seems I needed to use a lot more. I put more on my dry hair and it did look better. I have very fine/thin hair and it gave me body and movement akin to naturally thicker hair which is nice but because my hair is so fine I still have to use hair spray so that benefit is sort of cancelled out. My hair looked nicer the next day than it does usually though. I would say your hair needs to be a bit thicker than mine for it to be 'wow'. Not a holy grail for skinny tresses and you have to use quite a lot so it's very expensive.

EDIT: ok so I have tried using the money mist and then this mousse as well, my hair in long and fine, I dry my hair using a round brush and then I flip my head forwards and dry the roots and no word of a lie, my hair looks and feels thicker, it’s given me volume, to make it last I use some texturising spray. I think with these products we need to try different ways and see what works, more/ less product, everyone’s hairs different. I would say try and see what works for you. Yes it’s pricy but I would definitely buy again.Sadly this does nothing for my hair, definitely have no extra volume even when also used with the base of root treatment too. Hair does look nice though but definitely no volume. Not sure I would recommend sadly.

Great size. Very effective. Good value for money. I am really well pleased with this purchase.
