I’ve whittled down my haircare harem to a bonce-pleasing edit – but there’s a problem. The the pinnacle of achieving undone ‘I-swear-I-haven’t-touched-it‘ locks with a swoosh load of volume rests on a rather purse-weeping purchase, Oribe’s Dry Texturising Spray. You’ve no doubt heard me whittle on about the volume-injecting properties of this little can of goodness before. But since my hair has been lopped off, my shorter doo is just lapping up the stuff and at £18 for the mini bottles shown and £38 for the big boys (I’ve gone through two of these, lets not do the maths), it’s becoming quite the pricey habit. Here’s the justification…
I’ve trialled and spritzed my way through a fair amount of sprays with big promises – quite literally - but the Oribe Dry Texturising Spray surpasses them all. No crunch or crisp, or sticky tresses, just pumped-up hair with a touch of texture. It makes it a little matter than usual, which helps the hair to hold when a spot of ‘poofing‘ takes place – equalling undone hair in a can. I do three spritzes on dry styled hair around my parting, focusing more on the roots and the fronts – massage through, shake and you’re done, that’s it. No-fuss, frizz-free, can’t quite put your finger on it volume. The only downfall aside from the whooping price tag? This mist is also marketed as a dry shampoo too, but I don’t find it to work that well at keeping my greasy mop in check. I reserved it exclusively for volumising purposes and layer it over a dry shampoo spray on oily days.
Confessions made, this is a post that I hope will wallow in the depths of VDM that my Mum will never find. But I’m here, pen and paper in hand ready to scribe down your Dry Texturising Spray-esque suggestions that will hopefully relieve some tension on my purse strings and rid my kitchen cupboards of Sainsbury’s Basics produce. But until I find something that occupies the same va-va-vooming category I’m continuing my mini bottle a month habit cause this stuff is ah-mazing. Spoken like the words of a true addict, eh?Â
