Color Wow - Raise the Root Thicken + Lift Spray

Color Wow Raise the Root Thicken + Lift Spray is a volumizing spray for fine, limp or flat hair. Spray the lightweight formula onto the roots for more volume.

The formula is transparent and leaves no white residue, whatever your hair colour. Color Wow also lists UV filters in the formula, substances said to protect hair from the effects of sunlight.

Who is Raise the Root suitable for?

Color Wow Raise the Root Thicken + Lift Spray suits straight, wavy and curly hair. The spray specifically helps with limp hair that falls flat quickly. It is made for anyone with fine or thin hair who wants visibly more volume at the roots. It doesn't weigh hair down or leave it looking dull.

How do you use Raise the Root?

Spray Raise the Root onto damp or dry hair, focusing on the roots. Wash your hair first with the Color Wow Color Security Shampoo, then work the spray into clean hair. Style your hair afterwards as usual, and blow-dry it shortly after applying for a longer-lasting effect. The spray is transparent, so you can use it whatever your hair colour.

Active ingredients

VP, VP/VA Copolymer and VP/Methacrylamide/Vinyl Imidazole Copolymer. These film-forming polymers form a thin, flexible layer around the hair fibre once dry. They give the roots hold and contribute to the lifted effect.

Panthenol. Panthenol is the alcohol form of vitamin B5. It binds moisture in the hair fibre, making hair feel more supple.

PEG-75 Lanolin. PEG-75 Lanolin is derived from lanolin, the fatty layer of sheep's wool. It leaves a thin layer around the hair fibre that reduces frizz.

Hydrolyzed Keratin. Hydrolyzed Keratin consists of broken-down particles of keratin, the protein hair is made of. It fills rough spots in the hair fibre for a smoother feel.

Propylene Glycol. Propylene Glycol is a moisture-regulating agent that holds moisture in the hair fibre, so hair doesn't dry out as quickly.

Alcohol Denat. Alcohol Denat. is denatured alcohol. It helps the spray dry quickly, but frequent use can also dry hair out.
