Advantages: Great looking can, works and smells good

Disadvantages: As soon as you use hair straighteners life is lost (though other benefits do stick about)

My hair at the moment could only be described as rather limp looking. After not being to well of late my hair has really suffered quite badly. I've always had quite thin, fine and flyaway hair but lately not only has that been a problem but I've been losing alot of hair and quite often. I've now been diagnosed with an under-active thyroid glad which goes quite a way to explaining why this has all happened to me! Along with hair looking quite thin my hair looks a bit dull and tatty in general and gone is my usually glossy hair which is why on a recent shopping trip I not only invested in this but a few other products as well! Ok any excuse to spend more money! lol.

The Packaging....

200ml bright red tin with matching coloured plastic lid and matching push button to dispense the product out of under that. In black and silver writing on the front I'm told it's Charles Worthington London, Results, Full Volume 'So Uplifting Volumising Mousse' for 'Fine, Limp And Flyaway Hair' and is firm hold and at the bottom I'm told what weight the product is (as I've listed already). On the back of the can I'm told a bit about the product, directions for use are given, ingredients are listed, warnings are stated as are contact details for Charles Worthington, I'm told the can is made of aluminium and finally there is a bar-code on there. I do like the can, it's sleek, well matching and looks neat and tidy and not one bit cheap looking!

Directions For Use....

Shake can well before use. Lift towel-dried hair in large sections, holding can upright and spraying mousse into roots each time. Work lightly through roots and lengths and style as normal. Follow with results full body invisible- hold hairspray.

My Experience Using It....

So I use this on towel dried, clean fresh and combed through hair. I spray a fair amount of the runny, clear wet with a few white bubbles in it mousse into my hands. It's got a sea fresh smell to it that is unisex in fragrance and light but very nice smelling indeed. It's a weird consistency and I was expecting a mound of thick white bubbles to hit my hands but no, it's quite sloppy and a wee bit sticky. Now you can of course spray it directly to where you want it but I prefer my option. Either way you want to use it is fine and it dispenses out the can easily you just have to remember to give it a good shake up first!

I slap in on my hair and you you can concentrate on roots or wherever you feel you need the mousse (as I have said), personally I like to slap it all over my hair as I find it easier and I want all over volume. It vanishes very quickly into the hair and then I again comb it through once again and then I tip my hair upside down and rough blow dry it on a cool setting to help lift my hair.

As I am drying my hair and rubbing my fingers through it, it is slightly sticky but that feeling is lost when hair is completely dry and hair is left supple and feeling slightly hydrated but soft and hair is really defined. Body is created and shine is given. Hair is bouncy and natural looking and in short this works really well and gives me 50% more body and it looks great and alot thicker than before I used the product. My ends appear alot thicker and I have more volume at my roots!

So if you were to stop there... yep use the mousse and blow dry and you get really good results. However I then have to straighten my hair with my ghd's and any body and bounce I've achieved vanishes into thin air, however hair still feels smooth and fresh, unsticky and alot less frizzy and dried up at the ends, it's just the body which is pretty much gone but still there is a bit but it's not as noticeable.

Overall....

A product that can work if you let it and encourage it. My hair is shinier when using this and easier to manage and control in general and yes I love being frizz free and humidity doesn't affect the looks I've achieved! It's a great product if you don't use straighteners!

Summary: A product to work with and worth a try!
