Voloom Styler

OMG I got this today and what a mess it made of my hair. It looks like it was chemically burnt and it's all frizz.

Did you just do the under layers? You're not suppose to use it where you can see the crimps.

Maybe try placing the crimps where there's enough hair to go over it. Sometimes shortening the crimp time will help, too. That will make the crimps less crimpy and less frizzy with just a subtle amount of lift. Probably need to play around with it until you feel it looks right. You should have seen my hair the first time I used it! LOL!

I'm sending mine back. I don't think it is worth the money. While I did see a little lift to my hair it is not enough for me to keep this.

@rms1954 @What hair type and length do you have? And, which size Valoom did you get? My rootie was delivered today, but I'm not home to try it.

The rootie. Short to med length. Slightly wavy, flat no volume.

I'll try and work with it. It looks like fuzz.

Voloom suggests styling your hair first, like you normally would, then use the Voloom where you need lift.

You have to be careful with the voloom and make sure you have enough of a top layer of hair to cover the crimpy part. I section off the top of my hair from the top of the temples all around the back of my head and I crimp what’s underneath that section, not getting too close to my face. I part my hair on the side and then crimp about an inch underneath my part. I also use a heat protector styling spray when blow drying. For me it gives volume at the roots like nothing else. I crimp from the roots and go down about two inches. My hair is longer, past my collar bone.

I also just got mine and it works great for me!

My hair is very straight and fine. It's also thick and tends to be very flat on top.

This new "Rootie" Valoom has helped to give me some lift! I lift hair & brush it to the side holding it with the big clips that came with the Valoom. Then crimp the hair and cover it with the hair that I had pulled to the side....it's for hair that won't be seen....under the top layer!

@rms1954I've been using mine for five days now with the same continued result...frizz. If I keep using, I'm worried about damaging the roots. I'd shave my head because I don't have the patience for it to grow out.

The only difference between haddon9's straight/flat hair and my hair...mine is cranky doesn't like anything.

I completely dislike the look with 1/2-1" of flat hair down the side of my head/face. All part of having to use the rest as cover layers. I look ridiculous.

I decided this morning to return my rootie.

None. At this point I may try one more time. Probably will send it back.

I tried mine out and managed to get lift at the roots but the rest of my hair is so flat it looked like a mushroom. I’m glad I didn’t pay full price of this at least.

@rms1954 That is too bad. But, at least you tried it.

It's OK. You win some/lose some.

@ItsME I received mine several days ago (quick shipping) and I do like it. Hope when you try it several times it will do the trick for you! I love the size of the "nubs" on my original Voloom better, as these are just a tad smaller. What I've done is taken a smaller amount of hair to "crimp" (resulting in a several more areas of application) and I'm okay with that. I think it will be a great tool for traveling, along with my flat iron. I've also set the temp to about 350-360. I do go over my whole head (except from the area I've used the rootie at the top) with just quick touch of my flat iron and love the way my hair looks... just a bit of lift at the top only, smooth straight hair (otherwise has a tendency to frizz and wave a bit) and just very slightly turned under at the ends. I'm glad I purchased it at the discounted price and appreciate you taking the time to mention the offer. This is the only product that works well for me in order to get that height I really do need!. I don't go overboard with the heat setting, as stated earlier, You can always set it higher if you don't get the results you'd like. Hope it will work okay for your hair type Sorry it didn't work for some, as everyone's hair type is different.... and for me, I did need to play with it several times after styling my hair in order to get the appropriate "bump" or two where I need it the most...and it does last a day or two on me..a plus! Doing my hair is my least favorite thing in the morning!

@GemsNBeauty Thanks for sharing your experiences! I'm finally home, and just opened the box. Will try it later... have to take a nap first! I'll have to use a lower temerature, as I have very fine hair and need to be careful. It is also curly hair, so I have plenty of volume at the sides, but need a lift up top. I hope this does the trick! And, I will experiment to see what works best for me.
