Sebastian Volupt Spray Review

Fearless is thinking Outside the Box.  Maybe getting rid of the comfortable bob you have worn for years and trying something new.

Fearless is taking a deep breath and pushing yourself to do something you normally wouldn't do. 

Fearless is not being afraid of who you are and working with what you have.  Be Fearless.  Life is more Fun.

I recently had the opportunity to review Sebastian Professional Volupt Spray.  This spray is a volume-building spray gel that utilizes cushion particle technology.  I was excited to try this because I have used Sebastian Shaper Plus Hairspray for about 13 years and love it.  I was eager to see what the latest product from Sebastian Professional could do for me.  I have always had thick, coarse hair but I have noticed it thinning in the past few years.  I wanted to see if the Volupt Spray could come through for me in adding volume.  I also wanted to try a Fearless Look - just like in their ads.

 The before picture shows me with morning hair (washed the night before and dried naturally).  

I began my process by wetting my hair but not washing it.  I then used one grape-sized amount of Trevor Sorbie Deep Conditioning Treatment and did not rinse it out.  The next step was using about 10-13 sprays of Sebastian Volupt Spray.  I always tend to use a little more than recommended due to the thickness of my hair.  I worked it through to the ends with my hands. 

The Volupt Spray smelled great and the bottle comes with a great cap that actually stays on.  It wasn't sticky either like mousse.  The best part is that it contains a heat protectant.  I am always looking for ways to simplify my morning routine and using less products is a great way to do that.

 I then blew my hair dry with the diffuser attached to my blowdryer.  

After my hair was dry it was a little wild.  My hair is coarse and naturally wavy.  The Volupt Spray added a lot of volume and the feel of thickness to my hair. 

I then curled large sections in ringlets with a 1 1/2 inch barrel curling iron. 

I then flat-ironed the ends (I did not take a picture of this step).  The first look was...a little 80's.

I then chose to throw it up in a side ponytail, looping it as a loose bun and pulling it until I had the desired look.  Here is a picture of what it looked like before I pinned it closer to my head with one bobby pin.

To finish the look, I sprayed my hair with Sebastian Shaper Plus.  It literally took less than one minute so I didn't even get a picture.  I changed my lip color to a lighter shade (which I rarely do) and here is the final shot:

It is fearless to me because I would normally never wear this hairdo outside of the house.  As I said, I liked the entire review process of the Volupt Spray because it made me think outside the box and try something new.  It made me rethink more than my hairdo, but my wardrobe, and my attitude.  Sebastian hit a home run again!
