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
