Review: Charles Worthington texturising spray

Hi, my names Lucy and I am a self confessed addict to Bumble and Bumble hair care. There! I said it. Unfortunately for me though, the money in my Topshop replica of a fluorescent orange Cambridge Satchel purse does not match the love affair. In between procrastinating (I mean revising) I watched a video by Fleur De Force in which this dashing pink product was recommended by her friend Amelia for those who could not justify spending that much money on my beloved B&B dry spun finish spray or the critically acclaimed Oribè




The claims: Back combed effect.
                   Height, texture and volume.
                   Non-greasy.

And my initial thoughts you ask? It smells AMAZING (keeping the blog censored) the diffused particles reminded me of a hairstylist snacking on strawberrys in the corner of a salon. 
Back combed effect? Could not really judge as I have a fear of split ends, ever since going for a drastic chop to save my locks. So, I have not touched the back comb since in a good few months.
Non greasy? Definitely not! Though despite my fine baby hair (thanks Dad) I don't ever really get oily roots.
Height, texture volume? Not bad I must say! I really liked the finish it gave me, the one in which I have just rolled out of bed without burning my fingers on the GHDs. Impressed. 
But does this live up to my Bumble & Bumble can? Sadly, no! I felt this made me hair feel slightly crisp and sticky ( save that for cinder toffee) but for the price? Without doubt! At £6.99 in boots currently, it's hard to knock its value against a £21 original from B&B. I believe it's worth the money with the positives outweighing the negatives. Especially, with the up and coming festival season (praying to see Alex Turner at Leeds)

Rating overall: 7/10
