Great hair care product

I have used another brand of hair care products for years, and recently discovered how great Dry Bar products are. My hair is limp and fine, and this product does a great job giving me lasting lift at the roots. And, it smells great too.

Not for fine, wavy hair

I had high hopes for this product because I really like the brand's volumizing mousse, but it is a complete fail. I disagree with others about the scent - really like it - but the product weighs down my fine hair and eliminates all of the natural wave (my hair's best feature). If you are looking for an efficient straightener, this is for you. If you want to add volume to fine hair - even in specific localized spots - and maintain your natural wave, this definitely is not your product.

works well but beware the overpowering scent

Nice volumizing for my fine, straight hair. The smell is very powerful, it's a love it or hate it situation. I personally don't like the scent but it does work to make my hair look thicker so I will bear with it. I'm taking off a star for the scent alone.

go big or not so big.

This is good, but not as good as the spray version was which Nordstrom appears not to carry it's little liek a throwback to the 80"s moose but hey, if works who cares? The thing about the spray was you could use to second day when your hair tends to get flat and you need a root "boost". This product is for use on damp hair prior to blow drying. Overall I would buy it again and recommend it.

Smells terrible!!!

I received a small sample of this with my new Drybar The Double Shot Blow-Dryer Brush and thought I'd give it a try since I love their dry shampoo so much! This product smells terrible!!! It reminds me of a foul smelling armpit deodorant. I styled my hair yesterday and HAD to wash it today to get rid of the stench. As far as effectiveness, it pumped the roots a tad (gave one star for that) but nothing like the before and after photo they show on here. I prefer Big Sexy Hair Root Pump over this any day. Drybar has some great products but this isn't one of them.

Poor nozzle quality

It works, but the nozzle breaks easily so there is a limited use. Drybar has another product for volume that has a better nozzle. The formula irritates my scalp.

Theoretically, this product is probably

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Theoretically, this product is probably great. But I’ve had two sent to me now and the product won’t come out of the canister.

Great Volume

I really like how this product adds volume to my fine thin hair. My only negative is the scent is very strong and tends to compete with my perfume.

I finally found a product that works!!

I love the results I get when I use the Southern Belle Volume Boosting Root Lifter. I have very fine hair that doesn't curl, so after 70 some odd years I decided to stop fighting gravity and go straitght. So of course it has no lift . This is the first product I have tried that actually works. I'm thrilled! Can't wait to try more of your products.
