I had the opportunity to try out the volume spray on a mannequin head, while doing curvature and straight volume rollers and pincurls. The hair was cut in a diagonal-forward graduated bob—so it was pretty short in some areas. It was my first time doing this kind of roller set—and after using loads of gel and multiple pins per roller, the little hairs were still falling out, so I gave up and knew I had to spray it down with hairspray.

I sprayed between the layers at the base for maximum volume and placed her under the dryer for about 30-40 minutes. When she was dry, I raked out her curls, did a little back brushing, and voila! Her finished look was full of movement and body, not sticky at all, and full curl retention. Even after being shoved in my locker overnight, she still looked fantastic.
