Hello Kari, I wanted to share some information about the Volumizing Treatment Spray. The Volumizing Treatment Spray was designed to provide volume, body and shine to your hair. When applied to wet hair, you can spray it directly on your roots, or you can add it to your Styling Creme or Mousse for volume, body and shine, and when you spray it on dry hair, it will give shine and - what you have experienced-hold. To soften your hair, provide volume, and give life to your waves, use Chaz's line of Replenishing Treatment Mists, or Restorative Treatment Mists- you will find these in all of the fragrance lines, even Sweet Almond Mint! Give it a try, you will realize the result that you were looking for in the Sweet Almond Mint Replenishing Treatment Mist.
