I always feel like honking a special klaxon when I find a wonder product for fine and limp or—always fun—fine and frizzy hair. The klaxons are few and far between, but never mind because today’s is an extra loud one, easily worth two or three normal-volume klaxons. It’s Style on Steroids Performance-Enhancing Texture Spray by the always impressive brand Color Wow. While I’m mentioning it, see also its Dream Coat Supernatural Spray, a sort of “I wouldn’t believe it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes” heat-activated bringer of shine that is a bit like wearing an invisible rain hat in wet or humid weather, and the literally invaluable One-Minute Transformation Styling Cream, which smooths frizz in moments and transforms messy, nest-like hair into something manageable, defined and deliberate-looking. No heat needed, you just slap it on—with a light hand if your hair is fine and more generously if it isn’t. If you do a search online, I’ve written about both of these before.
Style on Steroids makes it a greatest hits triple. If you have the aforementioned fine, flat hair and don’t yet know this product, you are going to thank me in your head for weeks. Months, possibly. Years. The amount of volume it gives is extraordinary. More to the point, it doesn’t feel like you have a ton of product in your hair. I wouldn’t go as far as saying that it felt undetectable, but it comes reasonably close. It is absolutely not sticky, it doesn’t make your hair feel stiff, unnatural or helmet-like and, best of all, it moisturizes as it sits there, meaning that the horrible dry, almost dusty feeling you can get with some texturizing sprays simply doesn’t feature. Your hair moves and feels natural—there just appears to be an awful lot more of it.
