Thank you for doing all these videos for us Summer you are so knowledgeable

[@geslinam9703]

I really love the ColorWow Raise the Root volume spray. It’s the only one I have ever used that truly works - however, it’s brutal on my color. I have bleach highlights and they are oxidizing reddish.

[@realhousewifeoftransylvania1.0]

LP is so good. Even without heat use it with heat and also put it on after washing at night and put my hair up and the volume is so good the next day without a stiff or sticky feeling!!

[@signorablu]

Hi Summer, great video with very helpful information. What are your experiences with root lifting powders vs. sprays (such as those listed in this video). Also what do you think of Big sexy hair root booster? Thank you so much. Would love more product videos and tutorials on volume/thickening!

[@StylesBySummer]

Hi! Overall I have always liked more of a foam based spray. Volume powders can be great but myself I find them to be sometimes to much of a product feel. Big Sexy is a great root lifter, I don't feel it gives a ton of product feel and had good lift. I'm glad you are enjoying the channel!

[@mechellecee8168]

Why do you apply the small talk? Do you apply it every time you blow dry your hair? I need to know if I should but it too 😊

[@sandrawilliams743]

Is there a non sticky or hardening root lifter Summer im going to see which one you think is the best

[@a.sehari6522]

thank you so much.

[@StylesBySummer]

Happy you enjoyed!

[@ruthhatfield8869]

What is the difference between a root booster and a volume foam like Full Frame. I use Full Frame but still need volume. My hair is fine and also thinning due to hormones and age.

[@salmab9118]

Thanks so much for the comparison ! Does the aveda thickening tonic compare to these products in quality ?

[@StylesBySummer]

I actually have never used an Aveda Product!

[@turragorman59]

Living Proof is excellent but I watch for sales.

[@lisarhoades3559]

Great video - would love if you would talk about scents of these as I am sensitive to strong smelling hair products, especially if they linger. Thx!

[@StylesBySummer]

None of these have a super strong scent to me, but I also have a very weak sense of smell! Lol, so I might not be super helpful!

[@terrybullard7377]

@@StylesBySummer Moroccan Oil smells like a man's old spice after shave, but it is a great product. The scent does not linger.

[@lisaswords1582]

Summer, you are so awesome! You are so informative, I love your comparison videos and I always learn so much!! You should have many thousands more subscribers!!! ❤️

Thank you Lisa! ❤️❤️

[@lisaswords1582]

@@StylesBySummer So true!! You may have said in past videos, but what is the texture of your hair and what does Small Talk do for your ends, please?

[@taliadougall1774]

Hi. Great video! What hairspray do you use? Always on the lookout for something I love more! I have fine flat thinning hair that always sticks to my scalp😢TIA

Can u do q video about fine dry very damaged hair and tell us what shampoo conditioner and styling products should we use

[@StylesBySummer]

Always appreciate any video ideas! My video next week is about Olaplex which will have some good info for damaged hair.

[@conniesmith3007]

Love this review, will need to try Living Proof and see how it works on my fine flat hair!

[@StylesBySummer]

You'll have to let me know what you think!

[@jenniferlaynemusic]

How did it go?

[@conniesmith3007]

Loved it but now suffering from sudden hair loss, not sure why but so scary. Not related to the product at all though

[@jenniferlaynemusic]

@@conniesmith3007 thanks for the response! Sorry to hear about the hair loss. Hope it heals up

[@conniesmith3007]

Thanks a lot - I sure do too!

[@lisaa9361]

Just seeing this video now. Summer, do you think the Living Proof root lifter will work on fine hair? Thank you!

[@StylesBySummer]

Yes it does! Just don't overuse!

[@jhershour]

Great video. You mention that you tease your hair. Do you have a video on the correct way to tease hair?

[@StylesBySummer]

I have a couple blow dry videos that I believe I show teasing in. Working on a video this week where show me teasing some actually, will be uploaded next week!

[@kearabevels]

I love Paul Mitchell Root lifter and volumizing mousse. But although it gives excellent volume in my hair, to me it has to much product feel. It’s hard to blow dry my hair with it.

[@sayantaniist]

R u using the products still now?

[@kearabevels]

@@sayantaniist I'm only using the root lifter now. I use Kenra blow dry lotion and put in the root lifter while damp then I blow dry

[@sayantaniist]

@@kearabevels thanks

[@larkfly9273]

Can you use them on dry hair? Or if not maybe wet the hair just with a spray bottle with water and then put the product in? Relly helpful video!

[@StylesBySummer]

None of these are meant for dry hair.

[@woocash1]

What's the difference between Moroccanoil volumizing mousse and rootlifters? Are they all essentialy pre-stylers with different effect? I'm confused

[@StylesBySummer]

Roots lifter you spray directly on your scalp and typically give more lift at work over a mousse. I like to use a root and mousse together for the most volume!

[@woocash1]

@@StylesBySummer Thank you for your quick and helpful response. In terms of a mousse that provides some hold, is there one that you would recommend?

[@TracyD2]

I’m looking for a root lifter for sensitive scalp. Does anyone know?

[@farzanakhairi9652]

which store did you buy the mannequin from?

[@StylesBySummer]

Amazon!

[@raqueldelclos]

Does the living proof one have to be applied to wet hair?

[@StylesBySummer]

Yes!

[@davidberry9226]

How did the living proof smell?

[@StylesBySummer]

I have a terrible sense of smell, but to me it was fine.

[@vanessaangrisani5542]

You should talk about fortified shampoo for fast hair growth.

[@candiluchau3458]

I didn't see that there was any volume added at all with any of them. Her hair is totally straight and flat. Not impressed.

[@paulaoconnorhealy8775]

No difference what so ever. Still flat as a pancake no root volume at all.

[@donnamcelhinney9121]

I disagree - HOWEVER - I also think that if you have fine hair (like I do - and that she appears to have), you’d notice the extra volume she had using these products. I don’t have thin hair - but it’s fine (while also having a lot of natural curl). So, I can get a lot of curl/waves during a blowout on my layers without much effort, but I always feel like the top of my head doesn’t match the volume on the rest of my hair after styling. It feels/appears to be COMPLETELY flat against my scalp. I bet that her hair is the same way - and these products look like they give a little lift right after blow drying (which she then enhances when she finishes styling her hair by adding some back combing/teasing - which isn’t part of this video). I am going to go look at some of her other videos where she shows how she does a complete blow out + adding some back combing/teasing to see. If your hair is really fine, teasing/back combing does nothing without having some sort of product that adds texture to your hair at the roots in order to hold. I am trying to find a way to get some root lift to match my side volume WITHOUT using hairspray (or any type of “sticky/crunchy” product). When I used to wash my hair every morning (unless I wore it up the second day), I used hairspray to maintain some root lift. But I absolutely hate the feel of hairspray. I love having movement in my hair - and how healthy my hair looks/feels without hairspray. I also really love not having to blow out my hair every time I want to wear it fully styled (and down). If you don’t have fine hair, I can understand how the results from her blowout after using these products doesn’t seem like it did much. Also, she doesn’t appear to be trying to add waves/curls or a bunch of volume to the rest of her hair based upon the cut she has - she wants her sides to be sleek/straight with just a little bit of a volume and curve to follow her face/jawline.

@@donnamcelhinney9121 I appreciated reading your thoughtful response, thanks! About your quest to find a way to get root lift without hairspray, have you watched Summer's recent video entitled: "BIG Hair Goals. Get INSTANT Volume that LASTS. FINE Hair DREAM Tool"? That crimping tool might be just the thing you're looking for.
