Wow! I absolutely loved this video and information! I have naturally curly hair and am always blowing it out for volume. I will definitely give the WOW product a try. Justin, would love your opinion on dry shampoos, specifically for longevity and for darker hair?
This is one of my FAVOURITE VIDEOS that you have EVER made! I love it so much Justin. You did such an amazing job! Thank you for asking me for my opinion on how to run this test. I am not a scientist but I sure like to pretend I am. Hahahaha! Sending such a big hug to you and Dionna. You guys are the best!
Thanks Gabi! Your insight was everything for this! I'm stoked you loved it. I'm going to be bugging you about these ALL the time now! LOL. Wish I could hang out with you all next week. Dionna's super jacked!
@@justinhickoxHi Justin. What do you think of hyaluronic acid shampoo and conditioner? I swear, they give my hair so much volume. Even at the roots. It looks like I have 30% more volume. Without using any additional products. Could you try this or give an opinion on it? Thank you. I just found your channel, and I love it! New sub here! ❤
I have thin, fine hair. In the past I’ve tried so many products and with disappointing results. I tried color wow because of the results of your testing and WOW indeed. Doesn’t weigh my hair down and keeps its style. THANK YOU!
I have thin, fine hair with thyroid problems and a 58 yo head. That equals alopecia and no volume whatsoever. I took your advice in another video and got a longer bob. But the wowsa to my new style was the Color Wow!!! I get actual complements on my hair now when I used to wear a hat every day before. In a professional office, that's not professional. Thank you so much for your videos. I feel good about my hair now!!
I would LOVE to see a similar test for humidity controlling product! We who live in a seasonal humid area loath what humidity does to our hair styling efforts!
After having lost massive amounts of hair in the last several years, I gave in and purchased some Color Wow after seeing all the ads on FB. I have to agree!! I’m blown away at how much better it makes my hair look!!! It gets better after sleeping on it too! I only wash my hair once a week at most and it stays clean and smooth the entire time! Also my hair texture has changed dramatically too. It’s very frizzy looking maybe because of all the gray. 🤷♀️ Color Wow keeps it smooth and shiny!! ❤❤❤. EXCELLENT video!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
My stylist suggested Pureology, and I've been using it, but for me it's expensive. Can't wait to try Tresemme. This was the best video on hair products that I have ever seen! Thank you !
I just bought Color Wow Xlarge volumizer, before I watched this video. I was blown away by my results the first time I used it! I’m from Texas, & you know what they say about big hair in Texas. I’ve tried countless volumizing products over the past 20 yrs of my adult life. Color Wow makes INCREDIBLE products, especially their volumizing products. Definitely worth the investment y’all!
I’m a hairstylist too, live in N.C. where there is a lot of humidity in the summer. I have naturally straight, flat hair like corn silk. I have a version of the Lisa Rinna style. I get a lot of volume by using a combination of Sexy Hair-Root Pump Plus and the TRESemme Volume Spray on towel-dried hair, then, blow dry (med/high heat) with a round brush. The Color Wow and the TRESemme also work good together.
I have thin hair and I’ve been using WOW for two years now. I find it great at putting body and lift into my hair. Thanks for just confirming my belief that’s it’s the best.
I tried the color Wow conditioner on my fine curly hair and it literally took out my curls…I used it twice, and then I gave it away to my straight haired neighbor.
Retired stylist here. I have two things: after Pureology was bought out by L’Oréal, their products began to make my head itch. This was confirmed by some other stylist friends, and the mannequins can’t tell you that. Secondly, I’d like to know how well the products washed OUT of the hair so as to not cause “product buildup”. Thanks for an informative video, Justin!
These are great points! The product buildup aspect is great...may be harder to test since I find that many times it takes multiple uses to really determine how much a product will build up. Worth talking to a chemist about for future videos though...thanks for that idea.
This was the most thorough experiment I’ve ever seen. Most just test part 1 and don’t give any thought to other obvious factors that affect the results. As usual, thank you, Justin.
Thank you for including humidity test. I live in the Tampa, FL area and frizz is an immediate problem especially when then the dew point reads 81, the highest it’s been in years. Thank you so very much for this informative vid. Keep them coming!!😊👍
I have thin, fine hair. I have used so many volumizing products, but the Color Wow is my absolute favorite! I use the XL mousse after shampooing (every 2-3 days), and then I use the Raise the Root when styling (daily). I haven't had this much volume in years! Thank you for confirming my opinion! I'd love to see a test on hairsprays, especially flexible/working sprays, and maybe another on texturing sprays. Love your content!
On my short hair, Tresseme works great! I style on Sunday before church and basically don't do anything but brush it. It holds it's volume and shape even through my rolling over from side to side during the night.
I just tried Color Wow for the first time today after watching your tests. And yes, Wow! My fine hair feels like I’m wearing someone else’s! More texture, thick feeling and bounce. Love it. And I have tried the Amika, Kenra thickening/smoothing, Olaplex, and many others. None work as well.
I’d love more product comparisons and appreciated you included a lower price point. As someone else suggested I’d appreciate a note about scent as I’m sensitive to odors.
Yes I would love to hear more about products and scent. It is so hard to find hair products that are NOT scented that actually work. There are so many people who do have scent issues and cannot use products that have scent in them - also just because they don't have scent in them, but have essential oils, that counts as scent as essential oils are very overpowering and people with scent issues typically cannot use them either. I sure can't. I wish more hair care companies would include unscented products in their line.
@@StacyA-tm5rj color wow has a lot of products in their line without additional scent added. It’s possible an ingredient on the label might serve a separate person and still carry some scent. But a many of the products don’t have ingredients in there that are solely for perfuming purposes.
I have been using Color WoW for a while now, and have seen amazing volume even on my pixie! So it’s great to see a professional give it the #1 placement!
When I saw this video, I immediately subscribed to your channel. You're simply amazing. That's hard labor. You're also fair and unbiased. Thank you so much!
What a great video. I have had very fine thin hair my entire life. I have used what seems like every volume product out there and discovered the COLOR WOW products about a year ago The Bombshell XL mousse is my favorite. It gives me great volume that lasts until my next shampoo It leaves my hair soft enough so I can run my fingers through it and restyle it The Raise the Root product is also a game changer but adds more of a product feel to my hair. I add it when going to an event where it is very humid and even windy and I need my hair to have volume that is guaranteed not to deflate
Thanks so much! This was both informative and entertaining . I ‘m impressed with the amount of work this entailed and the rigor with which you dealt with all the variables. After trying SO many volumizing products I can now narrow my choices so I have a better chance of finding what works for me. Great job! 😢
The ColorWow is the best volume product BY FAR I have ever used. I haven't used the other 4 in this video, but I've been using many volume-promising products for 40ish years. Most weigh hair down (while promising to be "weightless" of course), feel gritty and dirty, and make hair look dull. Any volume deflates the instant you touch your hair, or move around., or try to add any shine. When I tried ColorWow, I was truly shocked. The only slightest negative for me is that my hair feels a tad dry, but I can fix that with a few drops of oil WITHOUT deflating the volume. I can even add DreamCoat over it for more shine and to reduce frizz in humidity. Amazing.
This was awesome! Maybe you have done something like this before but what about shampoo/conditioner for fine hair to create volume? So thankful I found your channel!
I'm thrilled that a much less expensive product proved to be so effective. Go Tresemme! I'll be getting a bottle of that tomorrow for sure. Thanks! This was such a helpful video! 💜
I have used Color Wow shampoo, conditioner and volume products for several months now. It is absolutely the best product I’ve ever used. I also lost some hair after having Covid and I’ve had just normal loss with this line of products.
Yay for Tresemme. I use their mousse. Will get the spray now too. Yes, more of these videos. How about how to get shine into gray hair that doesn’t weigh it down. 🙂
This was a great video to watch. I bought the Color Wow and WOW! I HAVE FINE HAIR THAT TENDS TO GO FLAT AND I LIVE IN THE SOUTH AND IT’S QUITE HUMID WHERE I’M AT. I AM THRILLED TO REPORT THAT MY HAIR HAS HELD THE CURL AND VOLUME UP ALL DAY! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!
Thank you so much! I actually have been using the Color Wow volumizer for the past several months and have been absolutely loving it. It's the first product that actually can hold my heavy hair.
I have thin hair - these manikins had lots of hair - I have tried almost every volume product on the market - and the ones you used never worked for me - try Colorproof or Big Sexy Hair volumizers - they work for thin wispy hair ,, they hold well and can be refreshed.
Their texturizing spray is really good too. I have a Volumizing spray from them that I find myself using more than my very pricey hair products. Happy to know it’s not just me that has found this brand to perform so well!
@@dw1898 I love their Extra Hold Unscented Hairspray. Scented hairspray triggers an asthma attack, but this is great. I'll have to check out their texturizing spray.
Thanka again for another helpful video!! My stylist recently used Wow on my very fine hair, and I fell in love with this product. Now that you have tested it, I am more convinced that this is a win-win for me!
I never tried any of these. BUT recently tried UNITE products and was pleasantly surprised the thickness their mousse provided….even 3 days later. Applied properly because of your excellent teaching. ☺️
That’s awesome! Thank you so much for the recommendation and thank you even more for the trust! I appreciate that. I’ll definitely check out the unite products as well!
Color Wow has transformed my hair. It was always coarse and frizzy and destroyed by humidity, but as I age it has become curly and fuzzy plus all of the above. Color Wow styling spray makes my hair look and behave almost like normal people hair - shiny and smooth. And it actually looks better after sleeping on it. It really is a miracle. I kept telling my hairdresser that I found this amazing product but forgetting to bring it with me. Her reaction was a subtle yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I remembered. She has been blown away by it. She says she can’t believe she had never heard of it, loves it for her own hair and tells everyone about it. There must be something in the marketing because she says she can’t use it in her salon, but she is sold on it. So I am not surprised by these volumizer results. The brand is a miracle for my hair. (It is also cruelty -free and has unscented options, which are must-haves in my books. There is nothing that is worth torturing animals, and my husband reacts horribly to anything scented. I am thrilled that the best product I ever used meets these criteria.)
WELL I live in the Deep South and humidity is a daily issue almost year round. I have fine wavy hair and FRIZZ has been my arch nemesis for 60 years 🙈 I began using Redken One United and the Color WoW last Summer and what a game changer!! If I had these products when I was in my 20’s, I wouldn’t have lost so much sleep by wearing those horrible huge rollers all night!! We really did that 😜 !! Enjoyed this video so much!! Of course!😬 And happy I don’t need to run out and buy something different 🤣 HugZ💖
Thank you for the Tresemme review!! My hair looks like those mannequins! The humidity test was everything! I am sticking with my Tresemme products due to the price point. I use the mousse and heat protectant daily with the same blow dryer technique and the hair spray. I actually prefer having product in my hair. I have not tried the volume spray you used but will now. Thanks, Justin and Dionna!! You’re the best!! 🥰
I love all of the Color Wow products! There isn’t one I’ve tried that hasn’t impressed me, so I’m not surprised by these results at all:) Thanks for saving us all some money and putting these to the test😊
Me ha gustado muchísimo tu video. Te veo desde España , y es justo lo que estaba buscando. He aprendido mucho. Muchas gracias y te seguiré viendo por supuesto 👍👏👏👏
I have been using the Wow for a number of months now. Have thin fine hair. It is a miracle worker. Very humid here right now. Hair still has volume even after i take off my golf hat!!!love this product. Wish we could get all their products in canada…
Thank you! I appreciate that. I e gotten some good feedback that will help future tests be even better! Is there any other kind of products or tools you’d like to see tested?
As a seeker of volume, I loved this video! The Amika Plus Size Mousse has been my go to for a couple of years now. I personally hated the Wow! I found it incredibly sticky and although I got volume, it made my hair look dull and very coated. Thanks for all the hard work on this video!
Great review. I use Tresemme products and like most of them. I use their fine oil mist for shine and fly-aways and their Simplify root booster which is one of their best products. I feel like I can always count on that product. Thanks.
I just bought wow giant hair yesterday! I love it. But I use Tresemne’s other products all the time. Love them. I’m getting that next. Thanks for your work.
Thanks very much for doing this his comparison. I've wasted so much money on products that didn't work, I'll be trying Tresemme soon, appreciate how affordable it is as well 😊
You are a brilliant hair dresser. So much knowledge. I really enjoyed you sharing with us the hair volume products. I will buy the two. Color wow and tressame. My hair is falling out by the hand full and it’s horrible. These two may help me. Tell your wife so beautiful the two of you so kind.
Thank you so much for doing this video! I have since purchased and tried the Color Wow Xtra Large Bombshell Volumizer. AMAZING results! This is just what I was looking for. Great 2nd and 3rd day hair with no dry shampoo etc. Keep up the great videos!
I am so glad to see this video!I have used Tresemme for years. I have used the gel which a little stiff for me, and the mousse. Every now and then, I will try something different but I always go back. Thanks.
Absolutely great video!!! I’m really glad you included how it feels in your hair because that can break a product for me. Please do a dry shampoo comparison!! I use Amika, Bumble,overnight Batiste and Living Proof
Well, that was fun! If you continue with testing (please), could you comment on scent in terms of "lightly fragrant" "very perfumed" "scent does not go away/does go away" "smells like coconut" "smells like the inside of your grandmother's purse in the 80's" (I hope Shimmer Lights feels called out by that last one 😂).
This is so important! I can’t use anything with much of a scent at all because my husband has such a bad reaction to anything scented. So I need unscented products. Thanks for including this!
I use ColorWow - really love it - I don't apply nearly the amount as suggested - that can quickly become expensive. I've used this product on mid-length hair and short hair - works great - I live in Texas where now it's hotter than 40 hells, and this product holds up well in the heat and humidity. Love your channel.
Great video with honest reviews. I like this cos its not one of those vids made just for the purpose of plugging sponsored products like many youtubers do. The Tresemme was very surprising in comparison to the other more high end products 🙌
Really interesting. I just bought the colour Wow and having just tried it I can confirm it is brilliant. I’ve been using volumising products for a long time and this one is definitely the best of the best.
Excellent experiment! Ummmmm, I bought the Caviar immediately after you recommended it. 😉 Not crazy about it. But then, I was already using the Color Wow foam. I live in the humid Midwest so Color Wow gets that humidity test frequently! 👍🏻
I truly appreciate your trust! I’m very sorry that product didn’t work as well as I would have liked it to work for you. It’s crazy, it’s worked really well for me. Testing it against these other products was a bit of an eye-opener! Would you like to see more of these kinds of videos? I’m very curious how people like this type of video.
@@justinhickox absolutely. Women are frustrated having to test out bottles of hair products to find what’s good. Please do heat protectants, leave in conditioners, hair masks, texture/hairsprays, and finishing oils/serums.
Thank you for this. I am off to buy the Tresemme product. Now, you just need to do another experiment of anti- humidity, hair spray, and hair clay products. You are going to be busy😊 Thank you for all the information and tips you share with us. It is much appreciated.
I've been using the Color Wow, but was also using another product of theirs with it. I have very thin and fine hair....and less of it at 70! Guess I'll stick with only using their Xtra Large! Thank you SO much for your experiment, as I always wondered if I only needed that one product.😊
Loved this video! I’m constantly trying different volumizers for my fine hair but haven’t tried any of these yet. You just saved me some time & money!❤
I use the Tresemme Volume in that squatty bottle sometimes. It generally is a bit heavy and doesn't hold the volume well. I have used a taller bottle Tresemme Volume root spray that is quite good unless there is much humidity. The volume remains good, but the humidity causes more volume in the form of frizz.
Love this test! I have thin, fine hair and am always on the search for good, fragrance free products that don't kill my budget. Color WOW is fragrance free and comes in 2 sizes, so I got the smaller to try.
Yes, I would love you do more test product videos. I just ordered some Color Wow products to try out. I would like you to test the Color Wow and other brand shampoos and hairspray.
First, great video! Justin AND Gabi in one video? Fabulous! Now, onto my own experience. I had been using the Amika - which I liked just fine - but I switched to the Caviar based on your recommendation. My feeling was "it's ok, nothing special," and I wasn't sure if i would repurchase. Now, I'm going to pick up my half-full bottle of Amika tomorrow morning and give it another chance. Thank you for validating my experience - and for acknowledging that the product you had recommended might not be "the one." 💗
This is truly a public service! Thank you for doing it so we don’t have to. I have always found that powder products like dry shampoo or volumizing powder do more for me than liquid products.
I’ve been using Color WOW for 2 months along with another product and have been extremely happy with it. This surprises because I tried one of their other products several years ago and threw it away because there was no positive effect. Thank you for showing me Wow is as good as I think it is. I have not used a heat protector and would love to know which to try.

Heat protectants that are best for protecting hair, rather than ones that just include some heat protection.

I'd love to see a test on hairsprays, especially flexible/working sprays, and maybe another on texturing sprays. Love your content!
When you do a a test you really put your whole self into the test!
Color wow foam at the root and volumizing spray mid to ends - awesome combination.
On my short hair, Tresseme works great! I style on Sunday before church and basically don't do anything but brush it. It holds it's volume and shape even through my rolling over from side to side during the night.
I was SO shocked by how well it worked!
Wow, love how thorough this was and how you ensured consistency!
🟥🟥🟥🟥Would love to see you do this test with dry shampoo and spray the roots with the same number of sprays of olive oil or etc. loved this!!
I've used Tresemme for years. I love their products!
I just tried Color Wow for the first time today after watching your tests. And yes, Wow! My fine hair feels like I’m wearing someone else’s! More texture, thick feeling and bounce. Love it. And I have tried the Amika, Kenra thickening/smoothing, Olaplex, and many others. None work as well.
Fabulous video! I just “got my hair back” after being ill and malnourished in 2023. Your videos have been a great source of info and help! Thank you 😊
I’d love more product comparisons and appreciated you included a lower price point. As someone else suggested I’d appreciate a note about scent as I’m sensitive to odors.
Yes I would love to hear more about products and scent. It is so hard to find hair products that are NOT scented that actually work. There are so many people who do have scent issues and cannot use products that have scent in them - also just because they don't have scent in them, but have essential oils, that counts as scent as essential oils are very overpowering and people with scent issues typically cannot use them either. I sure can't. I wish more hair care companies would include unscented products in their line.
Don't get the Amika, it has a very strong scent. Horrible!
@@StacyA-tm5rj color wow has a lot of products in their line without additional scent added. It’s possible an ingredient on the label might serve a separate person and still carry some scent. But a many of the products don’t have ingredients in there that are solely for perfuming purposes.
Wish I could take my head off to style my hair, lol
Not me. I would end up losing it or leaving it in my car.
@@Claudialupper LOL

Lol😅😅😅
I have been using Color WoW for a while now, and have seen amazing volume even on my pixie! So it’s great to see a professional give it the #1 placement!
When I saw this video, I immediately subscribed to your channel. You're simply amazing. That's hard labor. You're also fair and unbiased. Thank you so much!
I have used Color Wow for a year now and am not disappointed! My fine, thin hair has volume and as he said, it is better the 2nd day.
Which color wow?
What a great video. I have had very fine thin hair my entire life. I have used what seems like every volume product out there and discovered the COLOR WOW products about a year ago The Bombshell XL mousse is my favorite. It gives me great volume that lasts until my next shampoo It leaves my hair soft enough so I can run my fingers through it and restyle it The Raise the Root product is also a game changer but adds more of a product feel to my hair. I add it when going to an event where it is very humid and even windy and I need my hair to have volume that is guaranteed not to deflate
Where do you get color wow?
@@tammygardner7953 At my salon or on Amazon. Their website also runs sales a lot
Can you buy Colour Wow in Europe or only in the States? Never seen it.
Thanks so much! This was both informative and entertaining . I ‘m impressed with the amount of work this entailed and the rigor with which you dealt with all the variables. After trying SO many volumizing products I can now narrow my choices so I have a better chance of finding what works for me. Great job!
😢
The ColorWow is the best volume product BY FAR I have ever used. I haven't used the other 4 in this video, but I've been using many volume-promising products for 40ish years. Most weigh hair down (while promising to be "weightless" of course), feel gritty and dirty, and make hair look dull. Any volume deflates the instant you touch your hair, or move around., or try to add any shine. When I tried ColorWow, I was truly shocked. The only slightest negative for me is that my hair feels a tad dry, but I can fix that with a few drops of oil WITHOUT deflating the volume. I can even add DreamCoat over it for more shine and to reduce frizz in humidity. Amazing.
This was awesome! Maybe you have done something like this before but what about shampoo/conditioner for fine hair to create volume? So thankful I found your channel!
I'm thrilled that a much less expensive product proved to be so effective. Go Tresemme! I'll be getting a bottle of that tomorrow for sure. Thanks! This was such a helpful video! 💜
I have used Color Wow shampoo, conditioner and volume products for several months now. It is absolutely the best product I’ve ever used. I also lost some hair after having Covid and I’ve had just normal loss with this line of products.
Yay for Tresemme. I use their mousse. Will get the spray now too. Yes, more of these videos. How about how to get shine into gray hair that doesn’t weigh it down. 🙂
I've been following you only for a few months but this was SO ENTERTAINING!!! loved it, also love Gabi. Your channel is so unique. Keep it coming!!
I absolutely loved this "scientific" test! Do it for frizz-control products in humidity, please!!!
This was a great video to watch. I bought the Color Wow and WOW! I HAVE FINE HAIR THAT TENDS TO GO FLAT AND I LIVE IN THE SOUTH AND IT’S QUITE HUMID WHERE I’M AT. I AM THRILLED TO REPORT THAT MY HAIR HAS HELD THE CURL AND VOLUME UP ALL DAY! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!
Thank you so much! I actually have been using the Color Wow volumizer for the past several months and have been absolutely loving it. It's the first product that actually can hold my heavy hair.
I have thin hair - these manikins had lots of hair - I have tried almost every volume product on the market - and the ones you used never worked for me - try Colorproof or Big Sexy Hair volumizers - they work for thin wispy hair ,, they hold well and can be refreshed.
I love the Big Sexy Hair mousse volumizer!
I discovered the Tresemme Volume Spray this past winter. It's now the only volumizer I use. I love this product.
I was wondering does it leave your hair sticky?
Their texturizing spray is really good too. I have a Volumizing spray from them that I find myself using more than my very pricey hair products. Happy to know it’s not just me that has found this brand to perform so well!
@@maryalbert6138 It doesn't feel sticky like mousse does. But along with the feeling of thicker hair, there is the feel of product in my hair.
@@dw1898 I love their Extra Hold Unscented Hairspray. Scented hairspray triggers an asthma attack, but this is great. I'll have to check out their texturizing spray.
Thank you. I purchased the Tresemme' volume 5 in 1 spray and it works on my thin grey hair. I'm happy!!
I use the Tresemme all the time, and I love it for my fine pixie. We don't have much humidity where I live.
Color Wow does have heat protectant in it so that takes it even higher up when no additional product needs to be purchased
Awesome video. As a senior on a budget this really helps. I would like to see more of this type of experiment Thank you Val❤
Thanka again for another helpful video!! My stylist recently used Wow on my very fine hair, and I fell in love with this product. Now that you have tested it, I am more convinced that this is a win-win for me!
I never tried any of these. BUT recently tried UNITE products and was pleasantly surprised the thickness their mousse provided….even 3 days later. Applied properly because of your excellent teaching. ☺️
That’s awesome! Thank you so much for the recommendation and thank you even more for the trust! I appreciate that. I’ll definitely check out the unite products as well!
Yes to more videos like this!! I like to see products for curly and wavy hair. Great video!!
Color Wow has transformed my hair. It was always coarse and frizzy and destroyed by humidity, but as I age it has become curly and fuzzy plus all of the above. Color Wow styling spray makes my hair look and behave almost like normal people hair - shiny and smooth. And it actually looks better after sleeping on it. It really is a miracle. I kept telling my hairdresser that I found this amazing product but forgetting to bring it with me. Her reaction was a subtle yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I remembered. She has been blown away by it. She says she can’t believe she had never heard of it, loves it for her own hair and tells everyone about it. There must be something in the marketing because she says she can’t use it in her salon, but she is sold on it. So I am not surprised by these volumizer results. The brand is a miracle for my hair. (It is also cruelty -free and has unscented options, which are must-haves in my books. There is nothing that is worth torturing animals, and my husband reacts horribly to anything scented. I am thrilled that the best product I ever used meets these criteria.)
I have been using Color Wow Carb for at least 4-6 years now. It is amazing.
WELL I live in the Deep South and humidity is a daily issue almost year round. I have fine wavy hair and FRIZZ has been my arch nemesis for 60 years 🙈 I began using Redken One United and the Color WoW last Summer and what a game changer!! If I had these products when I was in my 20’s, I wouldn’t have lost so much sleep by wearing those horrible huge rollers all night!! We really did that 😜 !! Enjoyed this video so much!! Of course!😬 And happy I don’t need to run out and buy something different 🤣 HugZ💖
SAME in HoustonTx..where the air is wet & my hair has been the bane of my existence. Especially my older, thinner, grayer, frizzier hair!
@@dianegibbs3716 Amen Sista! Lol Struggle is REAL!😅🌺
Thank you for the Tresemme review!! My hair looks like those mannequins! The humidity test was everything! I am sticking with my Tresemme products due to the price point. I use the mousse and heat protectant daily with the same blow dryer technique and the hair spray. I actually prefer having product in my hair. I have not tried the volume spray you used but will now. Thanks, Justin and Dionna!! You’re the best!! 🥰
I love all of the Color Wow products! There isn’t one I’ve tried that hasn’t impressed me, so I’m not surprised by these results at all:) Thanks for saving us all some money and putting these to the test😊
Me ha gustado muchísimo tu video. Te veo desde España , y es justo lo que estaba buscando. He aprendido mucho. Muchas gracias y te seguiré viendo por supuesto 👍👏👏👏
Thanks for taking one for the team! Great advice!!
I have been using the Wow for a number of months now. Have thin fine hair. It is a miracle worker. Very humid here right now. Hair still has volume even after i take off my golf hat!!!love this product. Wish we could get all their products in canada…
That’s a lot of dedication in testing from multiple perspectives. Really impressive
Wow!!! This video was SO HELPFUL!!!!!! I’ve always loved the one from color wow. So helpful seeing how these wore throughout the day!
Wow! Most informative hair video I’ve ever seen. I now know exactly which brand I’m buying….THANK you for putting the time in and doing it fairly!
Thank you! I appreciate that. I e gotten some good feedback that will help future tests be even better! Is there any other kind of products or tools you’d like to see tested?
LOVE these type videos!!! And...Gabi is a scientist?!? Makes me love her more. Not because she is, but because I've never heard her "brag" about it!
As a seeker of volume, I loved this video! The Amika Plus Size Mousse has been my go to for a couple of years now. I personally hated the Wow! I found it incredibly sticky and although I got volume, it made my hair look dull and very coated. Thanks for all the hard work on this video!
Great review. I use Tresemme products and like most of them. I use their fine oil mist for shine and fly-aways and their Simplify root booster which is one of their best products. I feel like I can always count on that product. Thanks.
The Tresemme definitely shocked me. I am impressed.
Love to see you test other products. Dry texture spray, hairspray etc. Great job. Thx
I just bought wow giant hair yesterday! I love it. But I use Tresemne’s other products all the time. Love them. I’m getting that next. Thanks for your work.
I love, love, LOVE Color Wow!! It's my go-
to after shampooing before I turn my blow dryer on.
Thanks very much for doing this his comparison. I've wasted so much money on products that didn't work, I'll be trying Tresemme soon, appreciate how affordable it is as well 😊
You are a brilliant hair dresser. So much knowledge. I really enjoyed you sharing with us the hair volume products. I will buy the two. Color wow and tressame. My hair is falling out by the hand full and it’s horrible. These two may help me. Tell your wife so beautiful the two of you so kind.
Thank you so much for doing this video! I have since purchased and tried the Color Wow Xtra Large Bombshell Volumizer. AMAZING results! This is just what I was looking for. Great 2nd and 3rd day hair with no dry shampoo etc. Keep up the great videos!
Great video! Helping consumers buy a great product so we do not waste money on those that are not as sufficient.
I am so glad to see this video!I have used Tresemme for years. I have used the gel which a little stiff for me, and the mousse. Every now and then, I will try something different but I always go back. Thanks.
Absolutely great video!!! I’m really glad you included how it feels in your hair because that can break a product for me. Please do a dry shampoo comparison!! I use Amika, Bumble,overnight Batiste and Living Proof
Well, that was fun! If you continue with testing (please), could you comment on scent in terms of "lightly fragrant" "very perfumed" "scent does not go away/does go away" "smells like coconut" "smells like the inside of your grandmother's purse in the 80's" (I hope Shimmer Lights feels called out by that last one 😂).
Yes! Scent can make or break a product.
This is so important! I can’t use anything with much of a scent at all because my husband has such a bad reaction to anything scented. So I need unscented products. Thanks for including this!
I use ColorWow - really love it - I don't apply nearly the amount as suggested - that can quickly become expensive. I've used this product on mid-length hair and short hair - works great - I live in Texas where now it's hotter than 40 hells, and this product holds up well in the heat and humidity.
Love your channel.
What a great video! So much time and effort... much appreciated
Great video with honest reviews. I like this cos its not one of those vids made just for the purpose of plugging sponsored products like many youtubers do. The Tresemme was very surprising in comparison to the other more high end products 🙌
I used to use Tresemme Mousse years ago so I will try this new spray.
Really interesting. I just bought the colour Wow and having just tried it I can confirm it is brilliant. I’ve been using volumising products for a long time and this one is definitely the best of the best.
Excellent experiment! Ummmmm, I bought the Caviar immediately after you recommended it. 😉 Not crazy about it. But then, I was already using the Color Wow foam. I live in the humid Midwest so Color Wow gets that humidity test frequently! 👍🏻
I truly appreciate your trust! I’m very sorry that product didn’t work as well as I would have liked it to work for you. It’s crazy, it’s worked really well for me. Testing it against these other products was a bit of an eye-opener! Would you like to see more of these kinds of videos? I’m very curious how people like this type of video.
@@justinhickoxOh yes! I'd love to see more of this type of video. Love the research, trial and error... Or Success!
@@justinhickox absolutely. Women are frustrated having to test out bottles of hair products to find what’s good. Please do heat protectants, leave in conditioners, hair masks, texture/hairsprays, and finishing oils/serums.
Thank you for this.
I am off to buy the Tresemme product.
Now, you just need to do another experiment of anti- humidity, hair spray, and hair clay products.
You are going to be busy😊
Thank you for all the information and tips you share with us.
It is much appreciated.
Thank you! I was actually thinking of doing anti humidity products! You think that would be helpful?
Color wow hands down. Great test!
I use Color Wow all the time! Great stuff!
Would love one of these on anti humidity products!!!
I actually did a video on those as well. If you look through my recent videos you should find it.
@ awesome! Thank you so much!
I have been using and love Tresemmé products for years 😍
I've been using the Color Wow, but was also using another product of theirs with it. I have very thin and fine hair....and less of it at 70! Guess I'll stick with only using their Xtra Large! Thank you SO much for your experiment, as I always wondered if I only needed that one product.😊
Thanks for the comparison! Would love to see a comparison for wavy/curly hair products. Great work you two 😊
Loved this video! I’m constantly trying different volumizers for my fine hair but haven’t tried any of these yet. You just saved me some time & money!❤
I use the Tresemme Volume in that squatty bottle sometimes. It generally is a bit heavy and doesn't hold the volume well. I have used a taller bottle Tresemme Volume root spray that is quite good unless there is much humidity. The volume remains good, but the humidity causes more volume in the form of frizz.
Love this test! I have thin, fine hair and am always on the search for good, fragrance free products that don't kill my budget. Color WOW is fragrance free and comes in 2 sizes, so I got the smaller to try.
You really did a lot of work for this video. Impressive. Thanks. I have been a WOW user for a couple of years now. So, happy to see these results.
Color wow raise the roof root lift is great too
Yes, I would love you do more test product videos. I just ordered some Color Wow products to try out. I would like you to test the Color Wow and other brand shampoos and hairspray.
First, great video! Justin AND Gabi in one video? Fabulous! Now, onto my own experience.
I had been using the Amika - which I liked just fine - but I switched to the Caviar based on your recommendation. My feeling was "it's ok, nothing special," and I wasn't sure if i would repurchase. Now, I'm going to pick up my half-full bottle of Amika tomorrow morning and give it another chance. Thank you for validating my experience - and for acknowledging that the product you had recommended might not be "the one." 💗
This is truly a public service! Thank you for doing it so we don’t have to. I have always found that powder products like dry shampoo or volumizing powder do more for me than liquid products.
I’ve been using Color WOW for 2 months along with another product and have been extremely happy with it. This surprises because I tried one of their other products several years ago and threw it away because there was no positive effect.
Thank you for showing me Wow is as good as I think it is.
I have not used a heat protector and would love to know which to try.
