This spray did nothing at all for my medium textured layered hair.  I have no idea why this has become a cult favorite.  Many years ago, it was recommended in the fashion magazines all the time, so naturally, when I was in NYC, I had to buy it.  However, it was a miserable failure.  Not only did it not produce any volume whatsoever (I sprayed it on the roots, where, naturally, volume should be) but it made my hair oily and I had to wash it again the next day (I usually shampoo every other day or every two days).  It also comes in a very small container so it's very expensive to use.  I just sprayed a few spritzes on the roots and then blew my hair dry upside down.  When I lifted my head, yes, I had volume, but by the time I used a curling iron to create some waves, the volume had totally deflated and my hair was, once again, completely flat.  So much for that.  I can't figure out why this was ever touted as a great product by Vogue, Elle and other women's magazines. I think the fact that it's made in France has something to do with its mystique.  However, times have changed and so has the market for hair products.  Perhaps back then, there were few volumizing options, but now, the market is flooded with choices and there are far better products out there.  Right now, I like Living Proof Amp, which is a cream that's applied to the roots of clean, dry hair.  It provides long lasting subtle volume that can be easily revived with a few discrete fluffs.  So far, it works well for me, but I am exploring other options all the time.  But this Phyto spray is definitely a fail for me.  I used it a couple of time, each time trying a different technique to create volume and each time failing.  So now, it sits in my hall closet, where hair product FAILS go to die.  I hate to pawn it off on family or friends, because it simply doesn't work.  I have no problem spending big money for hair products that actually do what they claim to do, but I absolutely HATE spending good money for crap.  And believe me, this product sucks.  I guess Phyto paid off the editors of the magazines that recommended this spray, either that, or the editors are simply fascinated with French-made products, whether they work or not.  And of course, editors receive a bounty of free products that they are then duty bound to recommend.  That is the only scenario that explains why this product received so many positive reviews.  I'm sure my experience is not unique though.  Before you waste $29 on this spray, consider the following:  it is not a hairspray at all but is oily like a heavy conditioner, it certainly is NOT for fine hair, and the size is ridiculously small.  All I can say is that this is definitely not a good volumizing product.  I don't recommend it at all.  And if you buy it on Amazon, you'll very likely get a counterfeit product.  All the more reason to skip it and keep looking.
