I received Bain de Terre's rise 'n shine white willow volumizing foam for Christmas last year (and I'm secretly hoping I'll get more this year). It quickly became one of my favorite hair products, especially during the winter. I don't usually do reviews on hair products but I wanted to do a quick one on this wonderful item. Just as a frame of reference I have fine hair that loves to lay flat against my head thus the need for volume :P
Touchable Volume: (B-) Is this the most volumizing product I have ever used? Honestly, no but it is definitely not the least volumizing product I have used. It probably won't give you extreme volume (unless you use it in addition to other volumizing products, ie ones that you focus on the roots) BUT it will give a decent amount of life to limp fine hair without hair feeling gunked up or dirty. My biggest pet-peeve with hair products is when I can feel them. If a product makes my hair crunchy, stringy, dirty feeling, etc. I will hate using it. This gives me volume I can see but can't feel. That said you may get more volume out of it than I do if you use the 3-4 pumps it says to use. I use 1-2 pumps in an attempt to make it last as long as possible and because I have relatively short hair (my hair is cut in a bob).
Texture: (A+) It is a light foam that isn't sticky at all. As mentioned above once it is in your hair you really can't feel it so hair stays nice and soft. A
Smell: (A+) It has a very light fragrance that is very pleasant. I'm really not sure how to describe it.
Added bonus: Static obliterated! (A+) I have a very hard time, especially in the winter, with static electricity causing strands of my hair to stick out. In the winter if I wear any kind of hat or coat as soon as I take it off it looks like I rubbed a balloon on my head. In the past any product I have used to address this problem have really weighed down my hair and/or made it look kind of oily but this foam is like magic. If I use this product on my damp hair I have no problem with static at all through out the entire day!
Price: (A) I'm not sure what the retail would be in say a salon but I found it on amazon.com for just under $12 (before shipping etc.)
Overall: I would definitely recommend this product to anyone with fine hair like mine especially if they were looking for a product to deal with the static-y craziness that winter brings with out flattening their hair.
Final Grade: A
Poll time: I'm trying to determine whether or not I should include some sort of rating system (grade, points, stars, etc.), Thoughts?
Where to buy: amazon.com and any of the places listed here: bain de terre - where to buy
