| 42ENGLISH's Full Review: Joico Hi Rise 10.5 oz |
I usually wear my hair long and super straight but I was getting tired of the same old style. So I got it styled. Kept the length but had it shortened on top and layered long. The style is great and very versatile but it does require some lift on top. My hair is thick but not full of body the way it should be and the top is always a problem with a hairstyle like this. I asked my hairstylist about some products and she recommended Joico Hi Rise Volume-boosting Styling Mousse. At the time it was styled she curled and teased it a little. I prefer to have my hair wilder and wispy looking so I bought this product from her for $13.50 and took it home to try it out.

My experience:
After washing and toweling my hair, I went to apply this product at the roots. The directional delivery system consists of a tiny 2/10ths of an inch tube which is supposed to direct the application to the roots by digging it into the hair. Well, that didn’t work too well. I could think of something more innovative than this to improve direction, like maybe an extension of about an inch. Anyway, I managed to apply it to the roots with just my fingers. Then I combed my damp hair out to distribute it evenly. I bent over and dried the roots upside down taking care to cool it down before standing upright again. Then I blow-dried the rest curling it under with a large round brush.
My hair was considerably lifted around the crown area and after a little teasing and hairspray spritzes, I got the desired effect. It turned out lifted at the roots and scrappy on top with long wisps down the length. Just right. I did apply some medium hold hairspray to keep it in place on top and it lasted the whole day.
Conclusion:
I like that this product is alcohol free to start off with. None of the moisture was taken from my hair with this process which left it shiny and soft. It made a great deal of difference to the body of my hair especially around the scalp area. The fruity scent is great and it is not as messy as some mousses (or is it micce?). I can honestly say that without Joico Hi Rise Volume-boosting Styling Mousse, my hair hangs limp but when I apply this product, it takes on a new life. I recommend this to anyone who has problem with volume, especially when you need lift on top. It has really done a good job with my hair.
