Raise the Root Xtra Large Volumizer Dream Cocktail Carb Style on Steroids Do you use Raise the Root on wet or dry hair? Raise the Root is best applied to clean, damp hair. Spray it where you want lift, especially at the roots, then style as desired. Should you blow-dry or let Raise the Root air-dry? For best volume, blow-dry after applying. Blow-drying helps create lift and a fuller finish. Air-drying may give a softer, more natural result with less root lift. Is Raise the Root heat-activated? Yes. It performs best with heat styling, especially when blow-drying, to help build volume and lift at the roots. Does Raise the Root leave hair sticky, greasy, or full of residue? No. It’s designed to lift roots without leaving hair stiff, sticky, or greasy, so volume looks full and touchable instead of coated. What products can you pair with Raise the Root? It pairs well with Dream Coat Supernatural Spray for humidity protection, Xtra Large Volumizer for added overall body, and Style on Steroids for texture after styling.
