Kenra Professional Platinum Thickening Glaze Density Building Crème draws complaints about volume.
Kenra Volume Spray 25 Non-Aerosol
One wavy-haired user says it is reliably effective on their fine hair.
Ulta customer review by KathyA helpful reviewer says it keeps a finished style in place all day without the crunch, flakes, itchiness, or stickiness they experienced with other firm sprays, although the nozzle was difficult to open.
Ulta most-helpful reviewA straight-haired customer found the non-aerosol format a better value but still pairs it with their preferred aerosol sprays.
Ulta customer review by TracyA dissatisfied buyer says the bottle dispenses in blobs rather than an even mist and can arrive unlocked in shipping, even though the formula itself is not sticky when it dispenses properly.
Ulta customer review by AndiPlatinum Thickening Glaze Density Building Crème

How this page was made
- This page is assembled from the same researched records the individual product pages render: identity, each ingredient list as printed, each brand's own claims, dated price observations, and review themes written in our researchers' own words. Nothing on it is written per comparison.
- We do not rank these against each other. Which of them suits you depends on your hair, and that is what the consultation works out.
- The formula similarity percentage is a stored, precomputed number: position-weighted overlap of the two ingredient lists blended with agreement on the attributes we derive. It measures how alike two formulas are, not how well either works.
- The value band is a fixed label over two stored numbers: this product’s cost per ounce as a percentile of every product of this type we have priced, each at the size it is most often sold in, and how many products we score as doing the same job cost at least a quarter less per ounce.
- The "Is this right for you?" panel reads only your own consultation answers, and it applies exactly the filters our recommendation engine applies. It is computed when you load the page and is never stored on it.
- 3 sources were consulted across the products on this page.
- Ingredient order tells you relative amount only above roughly 1%. Prices are observations on the dates shown and change without notice. We do not sell these products and take no placement fees.
- This is cosmetic information, not medical advice, and nothing here diagnoses or treats a health condition.
