Excellent product, but please stop changing the name!
Been loyal to this product for years, as it truly makes a noticeable difference for volume of hair. Works for blow-drying and air-drying.

I love the product!
Hair Type Straight Hair
If you have fine hair and want some fullness to it, then this is what you need. Love the scent and is not heavy on your hair.
Amazing product!
This product is excellent! It gives instant lift to my hair. I have tried many products that my hairstylist sold me and they didn't compare to this product!
Love this product!
This is the best for creating volume for fine hair.
So disappointing
I really wanted to like this but it was just such a letdown. This product made my hair feel really greasy and not at all touchable. I returned this after one use.
Great Product!

I have fine hair and Bumble and Bumble Thickening Blow-Dry Prep Spray really gives it volume and texture. My hair dresser used it on my hair and I had to have it. Love it!
