Rock Your Hair Review


Hey beauties!!! I have a review for you today!! Whoop Whoop! I guess you can tell that I am actually pleased with these products and excited to share these bomb products. First let me tell you a little about the products and the genius behind it.

Yes its the "Rock your Hair" line by Michael O' Rourke. What did you say honey? Who's this man? Let me tell you..... Born in South Africa (ooooh exotic), he is a celebrity stylist who created the Big and Sexy Hair Line. He has many years of experience and has been awarded the NAHA. I did some research on Michael and besides being a total hottie, he is known for his rockstarish style. Whats so great is that a portion of all the sales goes to abused and battered women shelters. As you can clearly see, this man is all about women feeling fabulous, inside and out. He is clearly a rockstar in my book honey.


Now lets talk about these products. Did you see the packaging? Is this glam or what? The packaging alone makes me feel like a princess. Y'all know how I love details and you can't go wrong with pink and rhinestones. Let me say that these products is all about giving you full volume. In the picture below I have no volume or life to my hair whatsoever. I am not anything close to an hairstylist and I tend to stray away from too much hair spray because I haven't really found any good ones. They either fry my hair or weigh my hair down. Y'all know I am talking about my extensions as well. The whole line includes: big volume hairspray, big volume root life, shampoo and conditioner, leave in conditioner and detangler, and the bombshell big hair powder.

Directions:
Big Volume Root Lift: Spray on damp roots and blow dry for voluptuous volume.
Big Volume Hairspray: Spray into styled hair for lift and volume.
Big Hair Rocks Shampoo: Apply to hair, lather and rinse.
Big Hair Rocks Conditioner: After shampooing, apply to hair and leave for 30 seconds then rinse.
Miracle Leave In Conditioner and Weightless Detangler: Towel hair dry, spray to hair from roots to ends. Comb through gently for shinier, stronger, healthier hair.
Bombshell Big Hair Powder: Apply to roots on dry hair to revive volume or dust all over for extra shine and texture.


I decided to use a medium barrel rather than a small one for my curls because I didn't want to get my "big hair" from curls but from the products. This is what I came up with and let me remind you, I'm not a hair person. If I can do this, anyone can honey. In the picture below I was amazed right off at how shiny the products made my hair. I never had a hair spray that gave my hair life like this. Can you see how the curls are shiny and "not stiff" opposed to the frizzy straight hair?


So this is what I came up with!






Final thoughts: I totally love these products!
The root lifter works amazing on damp hair and yes that includes my extensions. The bombshell powder is perfect for carrying in your purse for that extra pick me up in the middle of the day. The big volume hairspray is one of my favorites because it holds but isn't stiff at all. I had my curlers on high and there were no frying my hair whatsoever. I used the shampoo, conditioner, and leave in conditioner back to back. It did clean, moisturize and did not weigh my hair down. It is sulfate and paraben free. Its also safe to use on colored hair. I would have to use this a little longer to give you more details. I feel like these products gives you the look, volume, and shine you want without all the problems. No product flakes (that looks like dandruff), no weight, no stiffy hair and the curls lasted all day. The quality is amazing. I can clearly see the difference. My looks big and healthy. Its a win win!


Of course you can come up with bigger hair but y'all know I'm sort of a plain jane. The possibilites are endless with these products.
You can purchase any of these items on www.rockyourhair.com, Amazon, or Ulta.
