What owners say

What people report

Recurring themes our researchers wrote in their own words from sourced reviews. We do not store or scrape star ratings, and we never balance one product’s themes against another’s by inventing them.

Both praised for the scent and volume.

Salt + Sea Texturizing Spray

Works especially well on fine or thin hair for adding texture and body

general Ulta reviewers

a 5-star Ulta reviewer

Scent is pleasant and appealing

general Ulta reviewers

Long-time users feel the formula was reformulated and now performs differently, with 'completely different ingredients' than the original

repeat Ulta customers

Volumizing Blow Dry Mist

Lightweight formula with a fresh scent that speeds drying ('it's super light, speeds up my blowdry, and smells fresh, kind of like laundry' — Megan Decker, Beauty Editor)

Cuts blow-dry time substantially while adding volume/texture ('cut my blowdrying time in half and I was surprised by just how much volume and texture it lent my strands' — Jacqueline Kilikita, Deputy Beauty Director)

Dramatically reduces drying time even on thick hair ('this cut the entire experience nearly in half, which is astonishing considering how much hair I have' — Amanda Mitchell, Senior Beauty Writer)

Delivers a salon-like, voluminous finish with a clean scent ('my hair ended up looking runway ready... clean, salon-like scent... from flat and dull to voluminous and chic with minimal effort')

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.
  • 5 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.
