Bumble and Bumble Thickening Hairspray

I was inspired to buy Bumble and Bumble Thickening Spray by elleuk.com’s feature on “The Products We’ll Never Cheat On”. I have heard of Bumble and Bumble products before, however had not tried any. I normally don’t spend more than what I would on regular drugstore brands on products that aren’t personally recommended. Seeing as Elle’s Deputy Beauty Editor recommended BB Thickening Spray I decided to give it a go. The first thing I did (as I always do) was google it, to find out how to use it. I read a few reviews and watched instruction videos on bumbleandbumble.com. The videos were helpful, however I find that doing your own hair is very different to how a hairdresser does it, especially on long hair. It is much easier for someone else to do your hair, they have more flexibility. Hairdressers always use a brush and hairdryer, which I find very hard to do with long hair. I use a hair styler with a round brush which makes life a lot easier, however a separate brush gives a much nicer effect.

I ordered online and receive my BB Thickening Spray the next day. I decided to use only a few squirts of product to see how my hair would react. I sprayed my hair while damp, blow dried it upside down and put on rollers for a few hours. Initially I wasn’t too impressed with the product. I did get an initial boost of volume but it didn’t last long and I didn’t see much difference in thickness. I have been using it for two weeks now and am much happier with it. It took a few mistakes though. I once misted all over once I had put my rollers in for a set finish, as instructed on the bottle and when I took the rollers out my hair was like hay. I had to brush it out, which helped but left my hair feeling weighted down. I now know that I need to brush the product out right away. I have also noticed that with use my hair has become thicker and stronger and easier to style. Over all I am very happy I decided to get it and am thinking about trying their Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner and perhaps the serum. My hair doesn’t tend to react well when I use a full line though so I may put it off for awhile.

Bumble and Bumble Thickening Hairspray appears on many lists of best products and Bumble and Bumble claim it is one of their best sellers loved by hairdressers, models, fashionistas and beauty junkies worldwide. The product is for blow-drying, setting, heat protection, adding volume, lift and control and finishing. It can be used by anyone on any type of hair, thick hair too. They advise to spray on wet or damp hair evenly by sections, work through and style. Then mist all over for a set-ready finish.

My advice for any new starts: be prepared for a bit of trial and error before you discover how to use the product on you hair.
