Just no.
The smell of this product could make it a lethal weapon. I mean yea it smells good but my god is it pungent. It also did not do anything for my hair except make it feel sticky and greasy. It actually made my hair flatter to my scalp than when I slick it back. Im laying in bed writing this, i washed my hair 4 hours ago and blow dried, and I have a migraine from the scent still circulating around. If it smelled like candy or something I wouldnt be mad, but it smells like baby powder with florals. save your money. (My eyes also burn from how strong it is, and yes i followed the directions)

Great Volume
I really like how this product adds volume to my fine thin hair. My only negative is the scent is very strong and tends to compete with my perfume.

I finally found a product that works!!
I love the results I get when I use the Southern Belle Volume Boosting Root Lifter. I have very fine hair that doesn't curl, so after 70 some odd years I decided to stop fighting gravity and go straitght. So of course it has no lift . This is the first product I have tried that actually works. I'm thrilled! Can't wait to try more of your products.

Strong smell
It doesn’t do anything for my hair. BUT most importantly the smell is absolutely atrocious. If you get headaches or nauseas easily DO NOT buy.

Buy something else
I was so excited to buy this thinking it would give me some volume to my hair, and it doesn't. ALSO most importantly, as soon as I sprayed it the smell was atrocious, and SO STRONG. If you get headaches or nauseas easily, absolutely do not buy.

Best for Volume
Works great. You only need a small amount in your palm. yes there is a scent, but to me it smells like hairspray and yo can only smell it when its in your hand. I have been using for almost a year.

Bad pump design
The pump stops working after just a few uses! Running under hot water doesn’t help either! After 2 cans doing the same thing, I will have to choose a different brand 😞 Product is great when you can get pump to work.

Nothing fancy
I have medium length fine hair but a lot of it, its hard to find volumizing products that work. The scent isn't bad but it's POTENT and gave me headaches. Didn't do much volumizing, made my hair super staticicky and scent lingered until I washed it again. Returned.

Overwhelming Fragrance, had to return
I used just a little bit of this product only once and the artificial fragrance in this mousse is so strong that it's bothersome. Even my boyfriend noticed. For reference, I used a walnut-sized amount and the smell even woke me up a few times at night. Even if they used half the amount of fragrance it'd still be too strong. I returned it immediately. The girl working at Ulta handling my return even said that she tried another southern belle product (can't remember whivhnone) and the smell was too strong for her too. She couldn't use it.
