Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray

Great product. Excellent hold and texture.

This Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray is a total game-changer! Not only does it give my hair incredible volume and texture, but it also smells amazing — like a luxurious perfume for your hair. It’s perfect for refreshing second-day styles or adding that extra lift before heading out. A little goes a long way, and it never feels sticky or heavy. I get compliments all the time on how great my hair smells and looks. Definitely worth every penny

Finally, a hair texturizing spray that moonlights as a dry shampoo without making me look like I lost a flour fight. This magical mist adds just the right amount of grit and lift, giving my hair that perfectly undone, ‘I woke up like this’ vibe—except I didn’t, because I was too busy sleeping through my alarm. Bonus points for the scent: it’s like my hair went on a tropical vacation and brought back souvenirs. If you’ve ever wanted volume, freshness, and a scent that makes strangers lean in (in a good way), this is your new secret weapon.

UPDATE: The bottle has become easier to spray, possibly because there's less product in it now? But now that I've used it a few times, this stuff is pretty great.*It smells better than the Garnier stuff (but still smells. Why? Why can't we get products like this unscented? I hate smelling fake florals everytime I turn my head).*This is probably not news to people who are familiar with different styling products, but it is like some weird dry shampoo/ hairspray hybrid that sticks to each individual hair. It actually does what it says: gives my slippery fine hair texture and volume. It's so weird when a beauty product does what it says it will.*It lasts a long time. It doesn't seem to come out with brushing or sleeping. But I can brush my hair and it remains effective.*It works better than the many dry shampoos I have tried. There is no visible residue, it doesn't feel heavy or sticky, it controls oil as well or better than the standard powder formulas I have tried (batiste, Aveda, etc).*It also gives me the occasional cystic acne on my neck, but basically all products that have 'particles' do that. If you are prone to that, then you can add this to the list of things that will probably do that. It's still worth it.Original review:The product itself seems interesting. It's the first texturizer I've used and it does seem to provide volume in fine straightish hair in an interesting way that allows brushing and movement, lasts for a long time, and keeps the oil down.That being said, I had to hold the can in two hands and press down with a finger from each hand in order to get any product out of the can. This was on first use, so there was no possible clogging from prior use. The dispenser top is ridiculously stiff and hard to press down. As a result, I wasn't able to apply the product as precisely as I wanted, because I had to use both hands just to dispense it in the general direction of my head. Maybe the larger bottle is less poorly manufactured?For this amount of money, it should dispense easily and flawlessly with the use of one average human hand. I suggest they spend a tiny portion of their profit on a better dispenser.

Smells amazing, gives great volume. Only downside to it is that it has a very powerful spray nozzle so it comes out fast and furious.

I received a defective product, but there is some info in this review that some might find helpful.I bought the large can of Oribe Dry Texturizing Hairspray as a gift for a friend. She only got to use it twice. The first time she tried it, she said it seemed to work similar to another (way more affordable) dry texturing spray. She said she used a small amount of the spray because she knew it was very expensive and was worried about being wasteful. She was not very impressed by the results. She said she expected way better results based on all the amazing reviews and online recommendations she read while searching for a hairstyling product that was supposed to offer volume, fuller-looking hair, very light hold/grip, overall natural movement, and great oil-control properties... and because the spray was so expensive. My friend wondered if maybe she had been too frugal and should have used a bit more of the product in her hair to get better results.Here's why I gave a 1 star rating:My friend called me a couple days later on face time, freaking out, because the can would not stop spraying the second time she tried to use it. She aimed the hairspray into her sink while she tried to "fix" the nozzle button, but there didn't seem to be anything wrong with it. It was frustrating to see because I felt like I was watching my money go down the drain. Eventually, she said the smell (a combo of the chemicals in the spray and the scent building up) was becoming too strong. She rushed the can outside, put it in her trash can, and closed the lid. She had to air her home out because she said the fragrance was so overpowering and she was worried about her baby breathing in fumes. My friend went back to her trash can after maybe 2-3 minutes to make sure the hairspray didn't explode or anything crazy. It had stopped spraying, but was still slowly leaking contents from the nozzle hole & around the button. My friend set the hairspray can on the ground. After several minutes, she checked it and said it seemed to have stopped leaking completely, but the can was very messy and a lot of the product had been wasted. We inspected the nozzle (I could only see what she showed me on the phone) and nothing seemed to be wrong with it to have caused it to go off the way it did - it wasn't stuck in a depressed position or anything. In fact, at that point, it almost seemed a tiny bit lifted from it's normal position. My friend was too afraid to mess with the can to try to figure out what went wrong. She didn't want to risk setting it off again and was afraid it might explode. She assumed there might have been some kind of internal pressure build up that caused it to go off in the first place. (She had stored it properly, in a cabinet with all her other haircare products... so she really wasn't sure what was wrong with the can.)My friend felt really bad that I spent a lot of money on a gift she barely got to try. I WAS VERY UPSET. I would never spend so much on a can of hairspray for myself. I knew my friend had been wanting to try this particular one for a long time, but couldn't bring herself to splurge her money on something extremely pricey that she might not even like. So, I decided to surprise her with this hairspray as a "new mom self-care" gift. (She recently had her first child & was recovering from some post-partum hormonal hair thinning, which I knew had been bothering her.)Even worse, my friend had to clean all the hairspray residue off her bathroom walls, sink, & fixtures. She said some parts were thick & tacky, while others seemed oily/slick. She was left with some permanent spray/drip marks on one of her walls, which continues to smell like the hairspray. (The spray went off 2 days ago.)My friend said the parts of her hair she had been spraying (before she realized the can would not stop) felt thick & gunky - not very lightweight at all. I couldn't see much difference in the way her hair looked while we were face-timing. We're not sure if this would have been the actual results of her hair if the spray can had operated normally. Maybe the contents were gradually clogging up inside or something, and the can had started spraying the ingedients unevenly. We really don't know. But that's the impression we were left with... the hairspray left her fine, thin, shoulder-length hair feeling weighed down & "dirty." (She had used the hairspray normally, per the product instructions, and quickly turned the can away from her when she realized it wouldn't stop spraying. So, her hair didn't get overly sprayed by accident during the malfunction.)I have no clue what was wrong with the can of hairspray I ordered. I didn't get to see it in person before it was permanently disposed of. I did check it out before I put it in the gift bag I made. It came in a very nice, fancy looking box. The can, itself, looked in tact and like a professional product. There were no signs that the product was damaged, pre-used & returned, or tampered with in any way. It appeared brand new & perfectly fine.I have to say this is an over-priced product for the quality and the feedback I got from my friend. The product looks & packaging were superb. Scent was nice - nothing to really rave about, but definitely better than most other hairstyling products (IMO). Quality was very poor. Product results were limited, but sounded disappointing. Definitely not worth the additional cost of potentially repainting the bathroom wall or forfeiting part of a rent deposit if my friend can't remove the stains the spray left behind. I wouldn't recommend the product. If you do want to purchase it, I would caution you to do so at your own risk.Oh, I was able to kind of smell the hairspray scent when I went to my friend's house today. I will say, I didn't think it was bad. From what my friend told me, it came out strong the first time she used the hairspray, but the scent dissipated after a short time. (She was worried it would remain off-puttingly strong, but it quickly phased down to where her husband could only notice it when he got very close to her hair.) We both thought it was kind of a nice scent, given that it wasn't really what someone would consider feminine or masculine; and it wasn't really fruity, floral, or "overly sweet" smelling like a lot of hair products tend to smell. The hairspray left something like a gender-neutral cologne type of fragrance.
