For as long as I can remember, I’ve always had fine hair. Not only do I have fine hair, but I have fine, flat hair. It was cute as a kid, but now just looks… defeated. (Much like my undereyes these days, but I digress!)

While I rarely use hot tools and styling products, on the rare occasion I do (or let someone else use them on me, which, let’s be real, is usually the case), I need a product that will add body without the stickiness or crunchiness that comes with traditional volumizers.

That’s where the Paul Mitchell Sculpting Foam comes in. Foam, froth, mousse—no matter what you call it, my strands need a little less than a pump of the airy styler to reap its texture-defining, body-building benefits and its yummy, creamy coconut scent.

After giving the can a quick shake and shimmy, I squirt out a tiny dollop (which quickly balloons into a handful of a whipped-cream-like concoction) into the palm of my hand, rub it into my hands, and then lightly rake the stuff into strands near the roots and down.

Then I zhuzh until my roots reach new heights!

The Paul Mitchell Sculpting Foam is in the June Allure Beauty Box.
