A quick boost for flat hair
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Not Your Mother’s Thickening Plump for Joy Hair Lifter Spray is great for adding volume at the roots without weighing hair down. A quick spray gives my hair a noticeable lift and helps it look fuller throughout the day. It’s easy to use and perfect when my hair needs a little extra body and bounce.

Wow! I got my full plumped hair back!!!
I have been using this product for about 10 years! And I decided to stop using it for a few months because I thought my hair was getting immune to it. I tried a different product that Claimed to add volume but it Did not. This is not an easy product to find so I was happy to find it at Target. I too was disappointed when I realized that they had changed the consistency of the product. And the spray bottle. My first thought was Oh No! Not again! Another product Change. But! I actually LOVE the change in this. I used to spray it in my hand and massage through my hair. I love that I can now spray it in my hair. And then massage in. And add more just before I blow dry it. After not using it for a while and trying something new, I could not believe how FULL AND VOLUMINOUS MY HAIR WAS! I’m so glad I went back to Not Your Mothers Plumping spray. I bought more than one, and I’m Glad I did!

Works Great!
Used on damp hair before blow drying, it is approaching sticky before drying, and you likely need to brush it out during or after blow drying. I wouldn't try using this without a blow dryer. My former birth control ruined my hair volume, this brought it back in minutes. It kept a decent level of volume, without any hairspray, for several hours. Washing it out was easy, unlike many other products. I'm thoroughly impressed, this is now going into my daily routine.

Product is not the same!
I am very disappointed with my purchase. I have been a fan of this product for a long time and could no longer find it in a store. I ordered three, and when it came, it is no longer the same product. Much more watery, and doesn’t have the hold it once had. There was nothing listed for me to know that you had changed the product.

Old formula was the best
I'm sad. I had finally found the perfect product for my curly hair that lifted and defined my curls while keeping my hair soft looking. The new formula is terrible. It dries out my curls, ruins their definition and feels crunchy. The formula is so thin now too. I'm so disappointed 😞

Pretty good
The thickening spray definitely adds volume and smells great! However, it does leave a bit of stickiness. I used it on damp hair and then blow dried my hair & could feel the sticky residue if I even tried to run my hands through it. Overall I would still use again but not every day.

Disappointed
Does not give any lift. Agree with other reviews about leaving a sticky film on hair.

Don't recommend
I gave it one Star because it did thicken my hair a bit. I sprayed onto my wet hair and let it set in a few minutes before blow drying. It left my hair so sticky, tangled and unmanageable. I don’t recommend and will be returning this product.

Good!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ended up getting sent a different product but I did really enjoy the product I was sent. It had a good price point a good smell and texture and worked really well.

New formula is awful!!
I have used this product for years even when it became harder to find in stores, I ordered online. This new formula is horrible! It is a thin milky liquid that does not provide any thickness. It weighs hair down and it will not hold a curl. It looks like you took your All Eyes on Me product and changed the label! Please bring back the old formula!

Left hair feeling stiff and strawlike
This left a film on the hair that made it feel stiff and gross.

This new formula is not good at all. It weighs down hair and makes it super sticky. Please go back to what it was

Volume!!!!
I had been using a salon volumizer that was getting pricey so decided to give this a try. I was pleasantly surprised to find this is lighter and works better than the pricier one I had.

not good, bring back the original
the original with the nozzle was great. why they rebottled this product and called it the same thing is unbelievable. do not waste your money on this. buy the discontuned one on EBAY where it is black marketed because it is so superior to this horrible dupe
