Reddit mentions of Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray, 8.5 oz

I have fine, thin dark brown hair. If I let it air-dry, it's a little wavy. If I blow dry it, it is mostly straight.

  Things You Can Do
  
  
• Change up your part - if you always part one way, you hair sort of learns to lay flatter around that. Switch it up.
  
• Get a hair cut that actually helps - I have collar-bone length hair with some layers for volume. I also stopped doing the "ombre" hair dye thing because it makes your ends voluminous (even frizzy) but keeps your roots super flat.
  
• Tease. Your. Hair. Youtube it. Whatever you gotta do. Tease your hair! And use hair spray when you're done.
  
• Don't OVER-PRODUCT your hair. It will just get oily and die a sad, flat death after like 20 minutes.
  
• If your hair is REALLY oily - don't use conditioner!
  
• Get good at doing wavy-curls with a curling stick!
  
• Half-up, half-down (or half-bun) hair styles allow you to tease the shit outta the crown of your head, and then use a hair elastic to keep that shit in place, so I do that for going out sometimes.

• Here is a quick album I made of how I wear/cut/style my hair: [ message me for link ]

I don't have long, thin hair, but I do have major issues with flat hair due to buildup caused by hard water. Applying Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo to my roots before bed (and sometimes again in the morning), and using Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray after styling have been my saving graces. The Oribe spray is pricey, but one can lasts FOREVER (8+ months for me), smells amazing, and works incredibly well!

(sorry to interrupt this thread) I have the same feeling, and I haven't used the Marc Anthony product -- but I do have some good product suggestions.

I like using a volumizing mousse and/or a hair powder to give my hair grip and volume without a stitch of extra oiliness. I find that most thickening/styling creams tend to weigh my hair down, which makes my hair look fuller but fall flat later in the day. Root spray will do good things for me, but only in combination with something a little stronger.

I use a mousse nearly every time my hair is wet. If I want more volume or to do something when my hair is still squeaky-clean, I supplement with a powder/spray to give it the texture to hold. They are also good to fluff up your hair if/when it falls.

Favorite mousses:

• Drybar's Southern Belle mousse: Sort of a strong smell if you're sensitive to that. Volume, but I can run my hands through it. I've been using this every day.
  
  
• Kerastase Resistance Volumactive: Recommended by my hairdresser. The most powerful mousse I've used, with good hold. Doesn't leave your roots particularly soft but is volumizing magic (and is not usually this expensive).
  
  
• Aveda Phomollient - Leaves hair soft and full. This is the most minimal hold of the three.
  
  
• Runners-up: Bumble and bumble Full Form mousse (Works very well, runs out VERY quickly), Big Sexy Hair Root Pump Plus (Effective, but a little crunchy-feeling).
  
  Hair powder:
  
  
• L'Oreal Professionel True Grip: Love this. My personal favorite. Lasts longer than you'd think, even though it's so small. Doubles as dry shampoo.
  
  
• Schwarzkopf Dust It: Works well for styling/pulling hair up. A little denser than the True Grip.
  
  
• Got2B Powderful: The cheapest, and it's magic. Also made by Schwarzkopf. Holds its own against the other two.
  
  
• Runner-up: Bumble and bumble Pret-a-Powder (pricy, smells good, soft... but just not as good as the others as a texturizer or dry shampoo).
  
  Texturizing spray: This stuff, sprayed at the roots, will fluff up any hair, any time. Works well for volume and for getting styles to hold.
  
  
• HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT ALERT: Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray. Hold up hair, spray at roots, drop hair, roots stay up. Great for fluffing up a ponytail or boosting limp afternoon/next-day hair.
  
  

It's a bit spendy, but Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray is PHENOMENAL. It's like dry shampoo on steroids. It does exactly what it says - gives your hair that dry, textured, roughed-up, lived-in look. A little goes a long way - start with a few small spritzes throughout your hair as you lift and separate, then rough it up with your hands (really work it in). You can then smooth out the top layer if there's too much magic happening. This is used on dry hair.

On the other end of the spectrum, my go-to dry shampoo is a really cheap one (and I've tried a TON). Tresemme Volumizing Dry Shampoo. I've had no issues with white residue and I use it day after day with great results.

I don't! I find that sea salt dries out my hair too much and I've never found one that didn't just make my hair feel greasy. I prefer texture sprays like the Oribe Dry Spray, Bumble & Bumble Dryspun or the drugstore dupe from Garnier Fructis! Once my hair is completely dry, I'll spray all over and kind of scrunch my roots a bit to add volume.

Garnier Fructis makes a great texturizing spray that gets me closer to that second day hair look. And it's reasonably priced, compared to similar Bumble & Bumble or Oribe sprays.
