After scouring every local Boots to find Batisse dry Shampoo in Cherry, I finally found it in my Guildford store. Had to have it, never been in to dry shampoos before, but to have my hair smelling like cherries, I couldn't resist. Havan't tried it yet on my hair, but it smells divine.
I decided to take advantage of the Boots 3 for 2 and try some new hair care bits. I've always been a fan of Umberto Gianni, when I attempt to make my hair curly, I always use the Flirty Curls Scrunching Jelly and the Shapely Curls Mouse. I decided to pick up the Old School Setting Lotion for Big Hair to use with my bendy rollers overnight for a 50's set and the Backcomb in a Bottle. I love the packaging of both, the look gorgeous on my newly painted drawers
Today I tried the Backcomb in a Bottle. This is supposed to give your hair volume and texture without resorting to backcombing. You spray onto the roots from about 6 inches away and "jujj" your hair up. I agree it gave my hair volume and texture, but perhaps not to the extremes it suggests. I love volume but try to avoid backcombing when I can to save my hair, so I was hoping for a little more. I expect the best results come from mixing with volume boosting shampoo and conditioner - I used my Naturtint shampoo and conditioner this time, as my scalp was feeling a little itchy.
Below you can see the before and after - there defitetely is a difference, and bear in mind, I did this pretty roughly and quickly - with more effort, I probably could have got more volume. The colour of the pictures came out awful so yes, they are altered in that respect

Have you tried any Umberto Gianni products?
