Jennifer Lopez’s Color Wow Volumizer Gives My Fine…

Not to be dramatic, but I’ve been on a lifelong mission to find the hair products that will give my fine hair the bouncy volume it deserves. A good hair day perks up my mood and gives me a nudge of self-confidence that rivals my favorite lip gloss (Dior’s Lip Glow Oil, to be exact). I’ve tried gels, mousses, creams, powders, and sprays to trick my fine hair into thinking it’s full and voluminous, but they’ve all fallen flat—literally. That is, until I discovered the Color Wow Xtra Large Bombshell Volumizer.

According to my hairstylist, I actually have a lot of hair—it’s just fine and stick-straight. It has a little texture (not enough to qualify as wavy, but just enough to make frizz an issue), which is why I need a volumizing product that controls frizz and adds shine without weighing my hair down. After a somewhat desperate Amazon search for volumizing hair products, I stumbled upon this Color Wow option. 

Color Wow Xtra Large Bombshell Volumizer

The fact that this volumizer has over 9000 five-star reviews is what ultimately won me over. It’s priced at $26, which is admittedly on the higher end, but I reasoned that you can’t put a price on great hair. Plus, based on my Amazon purchase history, one bottle easily lasts me a couple of months. After my first use, I was hooked. It has become my go-to hack for major volume and shine, and I even think it makes my hair look thicker. Unlike gels and mousses that can leave hair stiff or sticky, this formula has an airy foam texture that delivers weightless volume. 

The key to the Xtra Large Bombshell Volumizer is using enough and combing it through to evenly disperse it throughout your hair. After shampooing my hair, I brush it, turn my head upside down, and apply several pumps to the roots, then apply a couple more pumps to the rest of my hair. After applying the volumizer, I brush out my hair, dry it with a hair dryer, and style with a curling iron, finishing with a spritz of hairspray. (This formula also doubles as a heat protectant, so it saves you a step and keeps your hair healthy.) 

On day two, my hair has the same bounce; however, I do have to curl it again since it starts to revert back to its natural straight texture. I usually wait until day three to wash my hair and, thanks to this product, it stays volumized until then. With such successful results, it should come as no surprise that the Xtra Large Bombshell Volumizer also has a celebrity following. Not only is Amal Clooney a fan, but Jennifer Lopez used it for her Golden Globes hairstyle earlier this year to get the perfect bombshell blowout. 

Now that I’ve tried (and loved) this Color Wow product, I’m ready to try more. Keep scrolling for the other Color Wow picks J.Lo’s hairstylist, Chris Appleton, used to create her Hollywood glam Golden Globes hair look.
