This product does provide volume but I feel like it left my hair dull and frizzy as well. I'm hoping to find a product that can do both but I may just be dreaming

This is a great volumizing product! I like it because it gives enough volume without looking like you have some sort of crazy bouffant. It doesn't flake or leave my hair sticky like some other...

PROS: Does volumize somewhat. CONS: Drying for my dry ends. Makes hair kind of flyaway texture. ALTERNATES: Much prefer TiGi Cat walk Root boost for roots.
