L'Oreal Paris Studio Line #TXT Volume Supersizing Spray – Review


I have naturally thin hair and so I am always on the lookout for products that would add volume and bounce to my locks.

Line #TXT Volume Supersizing Spray
With texturising micro-powders the volume supersizing spray instantly creates bouffant back-combed volume from root to tip. Leaves the hair sensationally texturised and volumised, with an irresistible matt finish.

My thoughts
I am on my second can and I have to say, I am super impressed. It claims to add texture and volume to your hair – it does exactly that. It smells amazing which is a plus because usually hair sprays smell awful. Besides adding body to my hair, it also makes hair appear somewhat matte and natural-looking as opposed to looking like you’ve put something in your hair.

I like to spray it on my roots and back comb if needed. When I am in a rush, I spray it on and scrunch my locks to create volume and texture. It doesn’t have a lasting hold which is kind of disappointing. Also, I noticed that it makes my scalp oilier than usual – another downside.

All in all, I am in love with it only because it adds lots of volume to my lifeless hair.

You might not it this...

  • It doesn't hold very well

My rating

TONI&GUY Casual Sea Salt Texturising Spray Limited Edition Marchesa – Review


Alright guys, this is my second sea salt hair product and I have to say I am not disappointed.

Casual Sea Salt Texturising spray Limited Edition Marchesa
Tropical textures with TONI&GUY Sea Salt Texturising Spray and bold botanicals.

Create texture and body with light hold. Suitable for all hair types and perfect for achieving a lived-in, beach look. Spray evenly from root to tip, on towel-dried or dry hair and work though to create tousled waves with natural movement.

My thoughts
Holy moly, do I love the scent! Smells just divine. I love how it gives body to my hair and creates a sexy mess. After spraying it on my damp hair, I use a diffuser to create those loose tousled waves. You can also use it with a curling for better definition. Did I mention it gives my limp hair some life? My hair is naturally thin and straight and I am always picking products that would add volume to my locks. My only gripe is it doesn’t hold; I have to use a hair spray for a long-lasting hold.

Sea salt sprays tend to make hair dry and might make your scalp itchy so avoid spraying it on the roots. Also, you need a little amount of product to get the job done. Don’t go overboard; it might weigh down your hair so be careful with that. For some serious va-va-voom hair, add a volumising product (I love using L'Oreal Studio Line #TXT Volume Supersizing Spray).

Overall, I am happy I got to try it. The one I have is an L.E so if you don't find it on the shelves, do not freak out for it's the same as the regular Casual Sea Salt Texturising Spray.

You might like it if...
  • You expect it to create a tousled texture to your tresses
  • You expect it to add some volume
  • You think it smells amazing
You might not like it if...
  • It doesn't hold the texture all day
  • You expect it to give some serious amped up volume

My thoughts
I got this spray last year and I couldn’t be happier. This is hands down a huge winner for me as it does everything it says. I was previously using Paul Mitchell spray which was pretty decent but it didn't do much at retaining moisture in my hair after heat styling. This, on the other hand, keeps my tresses looking soft and shiny which is what I adore most about it.

The product comes in a bottle with a well-made nozzle. I spritz around eight to ten times to cover each section of my towel dried hair. I follow with blow drying and then straightening if that’s required. I would advise against drenching too much of your hair with it as that could end up with flat and greasy looking hair. Plus, by all means never use a flat iron on wet hair; it will only burn your strands!

I am certain this product serves its purpose well because if I skip it, I notice that my hair doesn’t turn out looking as smooth, conditioned and manageable as it does when I use it. For extremely frizz prone hair, I would suggest using a separate serum because it may not help much with that. Oh did I mention how amazing it smells? Even though the scent dissipates after a while, it leaves me feeling uplifted. All in all, I am happy and will definitely repurchase when I run out.

You might like it if...
  • You expect it to condition your hair 
  • You want something to protect your hair from heat damage
  • You like the pleasing scent
  • It leaves your hair soft and shiny
  • It doesn't feel heavy on the hair
  • If it's pocket-friendly
You might not like it if...
  • You have very dry hair
  • You expect it to tame frizzy hair
