The Volume Spray I Recommend To Every Client Who's Tried Everything: Davines VOLU Hair Mist

A client named Lauren came into LAHH Salon six months ago looking absolutely exhausted from trying to get volume in her hair. She has very fine hair that falls completely flat within an hour of styling.

"Emily, I've bought every volumizing mousse, spray, and powder at Sephora," she said, showing me a bag full of barely-used products. "Nothing works. My hair is flat against my head by the time I get to work. I'm ready to just accept that I'll never have volume."

She looked defeated. She'd spent hundreds of dollars on products that promised volume but delivered nothing. Some made her hair crunchy. Others made it sticky. Most did absolutely nothing at all.

"Before you give up, let me try something," I said, pulling a bottle from my station. Davines VOLU Hair Mist. "This is the only volumizing product I've found that actually works on fine hair without making it feel like cardboard."

She looked at the bottle skeptically. "I've tried volumizing sprays before. They never work."

That's what everyone says before they try this one. Then everything changes.

I'm Emily Safran-Wands from LAHH Salon in Bay Harbor Islands, and I'm going to tell you what happened to Lauren and why this volumizing mist has become the one product I recommend to every single client with fine, flat hair.

When Six Months Of Failed Products Led To Giving Up

Lauren had been struggling with flat hair for over a year when she came to see me. She has naturally fine, straight hair that has zero body or volume on its own.

"I've tried everything," she told me, her voice shaking. "Mousses make my hair crunchy and stiff. Powders make it look dirty. Sprays don't do anything at all. I spend 30 minutes blow-drying my hair with a round brush trying to get volume, and by the time I park at work, it's completely flat again."

She'd been to three different salons over the past six months asking for help. Each stylist sold her a different volumizing product. None of them worked for more than an hour.

"I'm starting to think my hair just can't have volume," she said. "Maybe I need to accept that and just wear it up all the time."

I looked at her hair. It wasn't damaged. It wasn't unhealthy. It was just fine-textured hair that needed the right product to create lift at the roots.

"Your hair can have volume," I told her. "You've just been using products that aren't designed for fine hair in humid climates."

Here in South Florida, humidity kills volume faster than anything else. Most volumizing products create temporary lift that collapses the second you step outside into Miami moisture. You need something that actually strengthens the hair and creates lasting body.

Davines VOLU Hair Mist is different because it contains turnip extract, which specifically boosts body from within the hair shaft. It's not just coating your hair with something sticky to hold it up. It's actually strengthening each strand so it can hold volume on its own.

I shampooed Lauren's hair with the Davines VOLU Shampoo, then skipped conditioner completely. This is crucial for fine hair that needs volume. Conditioner weighs hair down, even lightweight conditioners. When you're trying to build max volume, you skip it.

I sprayed the VOLU Hair Mist directly onto her roots while her hair was still damp, focusing on her crown and the areas where her hair was flattest. Then I blow-dried her hair lifting it straight up at the roots.

When I finished, Lauren stared at herself in the mirror for a long time without saying anything.

"My hair has never looked like this," she finally said. "It has actual volume. Real volume. Not crunchy, not sticky. Just... volume."

She touched her hair carefully, like she was afraid it would collapse. It didn't.

"How long will this last?" she asked.

I told her it should hold all day, even in humidity. She didn't believe me.

Lauren left that day with the VOLU Hair Mist and strict instructions: shampoo with volumizing shampoo, skip conditioner, spray the mist on damp roots, blow-dry lifting at the roots. That's it.

Three days later, she texted me a photo taken at 4 PM. Her hair still had volume. The text said: "I've been at work for 8 hours and my hair still looks like this. I want to cry. This has never happened before."

The Application Mistake That Ruins Volume For Most People

Two weeks after Lauren started using the VOLU Hair Mist, she came back for a trim. Her hair looked amazing. She was smiling for the first time since I'd met her.

"This product changed everything," she said. "But I have a friend with fine hair who tried it and said it didn't work. Why would it work for me but not for her?"

I asked Lauren to describe exactly how her friend was using it.

"She sprays it all over her hair after she blow-dries," Lauren said. "Then she styles it."

There was the problem. You can't apply VOLU Hair Mist to dry hair and expect volume. It doesn't work that way.

This product needs to be applied to damp, towel-dried hair before you blow-dry. The heat from blow-drying activates the volumizing ingredients and sets the lift at your roots. If you spray it on dry hair, you're just making your hair damp again without creating any structure or body.

Also, most people spray it all over their hair. That's wrong. You need to focus the application on your roots, particularly at the crown where hair tends to lay flattest. You can lightly mist the mid-lengths if you want, but the roots are where volume actually starts.

Lauren's friend had been using the product completely wrong, which is why it wasn't working.

I showed Lauren exactly how to apply it: section your hair, spray directly onto the roots, lift each section straight up while blow-drying. That technique creates lift that lasts all day.

"Can I tell my friend?" Lauren asked.

"Please do," I said. "Most people give up on volumizing products because they're not using them correctly."

One month later, Lauren came back with her friend Sarah. Sarah has even finer hair than Lauren, and she'd been struggling with the same flat-hair problem for years.

"Lauren told me I was applying it wrong," Sarah said. "Can you show me the right way?"

I did the same technique on Sarah's hair. When she saw the results, she started crying.

"I've been fighting with my flat hair for ten years," she said. "I thought I was just stuck with it forever."

The No-Conditioner Rule That Nobody Wants To Follow

The hardest part about getting clients to use VOLU Hair Mist correctly is convincing them to skip conditioner.

A client named Rebecca came in about two months ago asking about volumizing products. I recommended the VOLU line and explained the application process: shampoo, skip conditioner, apply mist to damp roots, blow-dry.

"Skip conditioner?" she asked, looking horrified. "Won't my hair be dry and tangled?"

This is what everyone says. We've been conditioned to believe that you must use conditioner after every shampoo or your hair will be damaged.

That's not true for fine hair that needs volume. Conditioner, even lightweight volumizing conditioner, adds weight to fine hair. When you're trying to build maximum body and lift, that weight works against you.

The VOLU Hair Mist itself provides enough moisture and strengthening to keep your hair healthy. You don't need conditioner on top of it.

Rebecca was skeptical but agreed to try it for one week. If her hair felt dry or damaged, she could go back to using conditioner.

One week later, she texted me: "My hair isn't dry at all. And it has so much more volume without conditioner. I can't believe I've been weighing my hair down for years thinking I needed it."

Now, four months later, Rebecca comes in every six weeks for trims. She hasn't used conditioner once since that first week, and her hair is healthier and more voluminous than it's ever been.

"I tell people I don't use conditioner and they look at me like I'm crazy," she told me at her last appointment. "Then they see my hair and ask what I'm doing differently."

If You've Tried Every Volume Product And Nothing Works

Lauren was ready to give up on ever having volume before she tried Davines VOLU Hair Mist. Sarah had been fighting flat hair for ten years. Rebecca thought she needed conditioner to keep her hair healthy.

All three were using the wrong products or the wrong techniques. Once they found VOLU Hair Mist and learned how to apply it correctly, everything changed.
