Not A Fan

Out of all the GLISS products I've tried, this was the one I wasn't so fond of. I found that it did barely anything for my hair. It didn't give me much lift, but it did leave my hair feeling a bit gritty - a feeling that I hate. I was really hoping to fall in love with this one, but it underwhelmed me a whole lot.

Might not be suitable for everyone

I really wanted this volumizing lift up spray to work for me when I #gotitfree however it made my hair feel very heavy and almost less voluminous than when I used the shampoo and conditioner.

I didn't like that it weighed my hair down and yet promised volume and life! I tried it twice thinking maybe the first time it didn't quite work because I sprayed too much of it onto my hair. When I used it for the second time, I used less and the same result occurred. Maybe it's just my hair and maybe it just doesn't work for me.

I think that there has to be some experimentation done in order to find whether the spray works for your hair or not. I'm still glad that I got to try it because now I can see that it doesn't work for my hair.

My Hair Felt Thicker But..

After using this spray I noticed a few things; my hair felt noticeably thicker but was hard to style. It lacked in shine and it left my hair with an odd filmy feeling regardless of how little or how much I used.

I have medium length hair that I blow dry and style with a round brush. After using this spray my brush tugged in my hair and caused it to go frizzy. Initially I saw some lift but it fell flat again fairly quickly. Although my hair felt thicker, it didn't look fuller. If you want your hair to feel thicker than you might like this. But if you want all the volume, you may not. I won't be purchasing this in the future.

Lift-up Spray Falls Flat

I can’t say I was too impressed with the Gliss Extra Volume Lift-up Spray by Schwarzkopf. Other than its amazing scent, I was disappointed with this product. I’m a fan of most Schwarzkopf hair products but this one just didn’t impress me. Yes, it has a great scent & super pretty, modern packaging. The colour and shape of the bottle is lovely and it sprays well and evenly. It is a small to average size bottle at 5.1 fl. Oz. / 150 ml for a treatment product; however, at around $10 CAD I feel the price is a bit high for a drugstore hair treatment in this size. It delivers in the areas of fragrance and pretty packaging but it’s highly lacking in effectiveness. Formulated “with Collagen Complex, (it promises to) repair inner hair damage and lift (flat, lifeless) hair from the roots for long-lasting volume, without weighing hair down”. (Quoted from Schwarzkopf.ca) However, I didn’t notice any significant volume improvement at all in the look or feel of my fine hair after using the Gliss Extra Volume Lift-up Spray (along with the Shampoo & Conditioner from the same line) after almost 2 weeks. My hair smells incredible but that’s about the only benefits I’ve noticed from using this product. I didn’t experience more volume, lift or life in my hair at all from what I could tell. Perhaps when using all 3 products over an extended period of time, the results would be more significant than what I experienced. So given the lack of effectiveness of this product and the higher price tag, I likely wouldn’t consider ever buying this spray. However, I love Schwarzkopf products so I would definitely be open to trying other Gliss haircare products in future; especially if the price dropped a bit to make them more affordable. Perhaps the Extra Volume line just didn't work for my fine hair but it may work better for other hair types.
