Va Va Volume with Aveda

Like many girls I am always in the ongoing quest to find the ideal product for more voluminous hair ;) Recently as part of this quest I purchased Aveda’s Phomollient Styling Foam. See the result below.

If I may say so myself; Va Va Volume achieved!

Aveda Phomollient Styling Foam:

What Aveda says: “Our patented formula—which includes certified organic honey, burdock and marshmallow root—creates weightless volume on fine and medium hair. Adds shine without build-up or weight. Uses air-infused technology”

♥ For fine to medium hair types
♥ Light to medium hold
♥ Weightless volume
♥ Detangles
♥ Builds body

How to use? What I do is spray 2-3 pumps into my hand. Rub my hands together to distribute the product evenly (yes, it does liquefy a little) and apply to damp hair; distribute near the roots for added lift. Then I blow-dry my hair (with my head upside down or using a rounded brush ) to create volume.

My hair is pretty fine (but I have quite a bit of it!) and the problem is that it often feels very “flat”. I have experimented with different mouses in the past during my quest for volume and have always hated the results. Sticky, frizzy and stiff/crunchy hair, yuck! Therefore I was a bit hesitant when the shop assistant suggested this styling foam. But I was pleasantly surprised. Phomollient Styling Foam is great because, unlike a mouse, it’s light and airy. This product leaves my hair soft and silky but magically with more volume than mother nature gave me. The foam also smells lovely & fresh, a bit like honey and the scent makes you feel like you’ve just walked out of a salon.

Little $ Tip: Save the top (the pump part that screws on the bottle) of the Phomollient and you can buy the refills for cheaper!
