Ojon Volume Advance™ Animated Volumizing Cream

What it is:A cream with a light, whipped texture for adding volume without clumping.What it does:This styling cream gives limp, fine hair fierce fullness, strength, separation, texture, shine—and a bit of "grip" to make styling easier. Unlike thickeners that can create crunchy, clumpy hold that collapses when touched, this cream leaves hair feeling touchable, flexible, soft, and resilient.What it is formulated WITHOUT:- Parabens - Synthetic Fragrances- Synthetic Dyes - Phthalates - TriclosanWhat else you need to know:Fortified with Ojon oil, nature's hair-repairing golden elixir, this product also contains protein-rich Peruvian amaranth, and the extracts of sage and soy.Research results:According to Ojon, in a clinical cross-section study conducted in combination with Volume Advance Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner, this product increased hair diameter by 70%.

Excellent -but a little goes a long way
-01.15.13
Quick Take: easy to use, use sparingly
I have shortish, very fine white hair and I love this product. BUT - a little goes a long way. Don't use any more than a small pea sized dollop. Too much and your hair will seem sticky. I also don't use conditioner. Product seems to condition and texturize, which is fine by me.

Quick Take: heavy
it does give some texture to fine hair, but it did not give me any volume whatsoever. IN fact, I really felt sort of greasy after using it. I do not have oily hair. And it seemed like it had some grip, but no...... flat, oily hair was not what I looking for.
the only thing good I can say about it is that it smells pretty good.

Not what I was looking for.

This styling cream does not give my hair much volume. In fact it is sort of sticky. I have very VERY fine hair though, and almost every product ends up clumpy and sticky in my hair.

Quick Take: very difficult to use
It's terrible! Even with just a tiny amount, my hair is dull. Makes it really hard to style. Very disappointing.

-02.01.12
Quick Take: non-sticky, easy to use
I love this product! A very little goes a long way & it makes my fine hair seem full. Even the next day is good with a light hand and a little water to give some shape to the style. My hair is short but full on top.

Great product
-01.10.12
Quick Take: easy to use
I have very fine, thin hair, and this product makes it feel full and yet not brittle. I would recommend it to anyone trying to achieve fuller hair. The style holds well, and yet it is easy to comb through. A little goes a long way, however. Too much product weights down the hair and makes it feel dirty.

-12.28.11
Quick Take: limp heavy greasy
Ojon's Animated Styling Cream was the perfect product for my fine, curly hair--held it in place without excess weight or "crunchiness," etc. When Ojon replaced Animated Styling with Animated Volume, I gave it a try. My hair was limp, dirty-looking, and had neither volume NOR style. (A small amount made my hair look awful; a large amount made it look worse.) I returned it after about 1 week. I wish Ojon would bring back the real-deal Animated Styling Cream!

Best winter volumizing product
-12.07.11
Quick Take: non-sticky, easy to use
Fabulous product... I have waist length hair that goes very flat during the winter. I used a pea size amount only on toweled dried hair and it gave tremendous volume bounce and shine...tried pretty much every product on the market..nothing comes close

Good product
-11.26.11
Quick Take: non-sticky, lightweight, easy to use
I love Ojon hair products, and like the volumizing cream. I have fine, thin hair and this seems to help. I will say that if you have thin or fine hair, don't expect this to make your hair look like it has extensions. It just gives your hair a little more "firmness" so that it's not so floppy and unmanageable. One thing I don't like, is that Ojon got rid of the wonderful "clean green" smell that it used to have. I even quit using the volumizing shampoo and conditioner because of this (but did start using the intensive repair shampoo/conditioner by Ojon). Don't use too much (more than the size of a dime if your hair is mid length) or it will make it flat.

Works for me!
-09.12.11
Quick Take: lightweight
Use on wet hair, then blow dry -- it creates a sort of texture/coating on your hair. I started out using only a pea size amount without much result, but now I use about a nickel size and I love it! I didn't think my hair felt dirty or greasy -- I thought it looked fuller.

Did not like this
-08.31.11
Quick Take: unfortunately not superior to its predecessor
Having very curly hair I'm very particular about my product. I previously used Ojon's conditioning paste, which I loved!! Of course, they no longer make it but say that this is its replacement. My hair was not as soft or bouncy as it was with the previous product. Yes, I made sure not to use too much. My hair had no body at all.
