The perfect product when your hair falls flat

There are a few instances when I’ll make an exception to my air-dry hair rule, and one is when the weather is just glorious. We’ve had a handful of low-humidity days with temperatures around 70 over the past few weeks, which made the effort of blow-drying and flat-ironing totally worth it. But for some reason, dry shampoo doesn’t deliver the root volume I need for day-two and beyond in this weather, so I have no choice other than to reach for something different. Last week, SEVEN Haircare’s Cubica Swept Texture Spray was that product, and it saved the day.

Unlike some other texturizing sprays that can feel stiff or sticky, this one is literally light as air. The vegan formula is devoid of sulfates, parabens, dyes and talc—and it features volcanic ash for added fullness, nourishing amber extract, softening kiwi extract and sunflower seed extract to protect against color-fading and environmentally-induced damage.

A light misting around my entire head added volume and the piece-y, slightly messy look I love—and a little extra at my roots gave my locks the lift they needed. I won’t even tell you how many days I went without washing, but let’s just say the scent is both fresh and a big help for keeping any tell-tale “dirty hair” smell at bay. And best of all, I was able to use this amazing mist numerous days in a row without my hair turning into a big old mess. In fact, I actually debated going one more day before washing—and I probably would have if I didn’t break a sweat during an interval training class.

After our two-day cold front, the weather went back to normal, and the Swept spray worked equally as well. So much so that I think I can squeeze one more day out of this current blow-dry (and I’m going to try). I’m kind of obsessed with this product, so my usual dry shampoo better watch its back.
