Good stuff

Quick Take: easy to use, quick results
I am over 50(over 60 and 70too). My hair turned grey at about the time peope were"streaking " it and sso I always liked the grey tones. I didn't, however, like it when my hair began to thin. It has always been baby fine and soft, but thick in spite of it. I like this because it most certainly gives the appearance of thickness, lasts through the day but is not sticky or harsh.

Quick Take: easy to use, quick results
I have very thin, fine hair and after just a week of using this product along with the other BB Thickening products, I have noticed a huge difference and so have others! I highly recommend it! A little goes a long way so please don't be turned off by the price!

Not a keeper
-05.01.13
I use the bumble and bumble line. Really like the shampoo, conditioner and the hair spray. Purchased the serum and do not see a difference at all. Think I may return the item.
Maybe you will have better results.

Favorite hair product. Hands down.
-04.22.13
Quick Take: easy to use, quick results
Having very thin/fine hair, there wasn't a lot of hair styles that I could do with it. I decided I wanted to try some products and see what really works for my hair. I tried soo many products from drug store to high end salon products. Nothing really worked for me. So one day I was walking through Sephora and I asked a sales person what product she would suggest for my hair type. She showed me this, I looked at the price and the size and I laughed and said forget it. Until I came back again and another lady suggested it also.. But my hair was desperate, and I was thinking might as well. I am soo glad I made this purchase! I use it every night and I have been using it for almost 2 years and have only been through 2 bottles! It works amazing and lots of strangers were complementing my hair after the first week of use!! I love it!! A little of this product goes a long way!

I have long, wavy/curly hair. I've been using this serum in the morning. When I wake up with bed head, it revives the volume and curls. I use 3-4 pumps into the palms of my hands, flip my head upside down, and scrunch it into my hair. It doesn't add crunch, oil, or stickyness.

Not really sure what all the hype is??

I have fine short hair, so I bought this product looking to see a bit of a difference and I see nothing. Waste of money I think...

Seems to really work!
-03.25.13
I've used this for about a week straight and have really noticed a difference! I'd love if they could do something about how it smells, though. It's not very appealing.

No thickness change that I can feel
-02.11.13
I've been using this as directed for 2 weeks -- I have not yet noticed a change in the texture of my hair. It does smell very nice, and there has been a decrease in split ends and frizziness, but as of yet I cannot feel any increased thickness.

Quick Take: annoying smell
I so badly wanted to love this product. It's watery yellow liquid that stinks! I have thin, oily hair and could only apply it at night. The scent gave me a headache and kept me awake! I ended up returning it.....used it for 2 weeks didn't see a single result

Quick Take: multi-step, easy to use, quick results, thinkening
I do believe that this product thinkens my hair. BUT my main thing about this product is that fact that they market it as a serum and it is not! It is basicly a yellow water. I have used this product just about everyday for the past 3 months and I'm only about half way through this bottle. I use about 4 pumps on my hair every night. I have medium lentgh hair and 2 pumps on one half of my hair and 2 on the other half from root to tip! i may also use a pump or two after I straighten my hair if it feels a little limp and brittle. I do recommend this product to people that have thin hair natrually or to people that are starting to have thinning hair. My mom struggles with a little bit of hair loss and thinning and she uses it and loves it! i really also like the scent of the product, it lingers in my hair for a while. Pink this up and you wont regret it!

-07.03.12
Quick Take: easy to use
I've been using this working over a month now, and now consistently either, just when I remember to put it in my hair, I'll use it. I have suuuper fine/limp hair, and I actually notice when I tied my hair in a "bun" it doesn't feel all droopy and fall out so easy anymore. I don't see a complete transformation yet .. but its working

I didn't believe it when i bought it....
-06.14.12
Quick Take: easy to use
But this product is unlike anythingI have ever used. I put it i after i style my hair (usually streighten or blow dry) and it just gives it that extra boost my hair often needs. I'm not sure if it really makes your hair thicker over time bc I don't use it regularily.
Also, when I apply it, I feel like a lot of it is left on my hands. I think it's because the consistency is so watery that it just soaks into my skin.. But it's a cool product and it definitely lasts a while!

Do NOT waste your money
-05.29.12
This claims to make your hair thick and give it strength, and yet it does neither. Honestly, it simply does not work. I wasted 27 dollars and this tiny bottle, and I rub a water based substance onto my scalp, and yet, nothing. I've used this continuously for weeks to no avail. I will never buy this or the thickening line of Bb ever again. It's a scam.

Quick Take: easy to use, quick results
I used this, thinking my fine hair that breaks easily when dry would magically turn thick and luscious. I applied it before bed, shampooed in the morning, and didn't see much of a change, though the texture of my hair felt a little different, and my hair didn't get very oily throughout the day like it usually does. I did this for a few days, then I stopped for a few days. That is when I noticed the biggest difference. It took a few days before I realized that my hair looked limp again. So I used it again before bed, and the next day, presto! I will have to keep buying this, I think, but I don't mind because my hair fells great!

Thickening?
-03.22.12
Quick Take: strengthening
I think it did strengthen my hair.
I mean I have no way to really tell if it really changed my hair or if it's just all in my head.
But, since i've started using it, my hair doesn't shed as much and looks like I have more hair.
I think i'm going to continue to use it!

Not Really
-02.27.12
Quick Take: disappointing
This product makes my long, fine hair look fuller immediately after application, but the effect disappears pretty quickly. I think its ingredients create a short-term drying or "static electricity" kind of effect. But I haven't noticed any long-term treatment benefits after several weeks of use. It is not thckening or strengthening over time and does not help to prevent breakage or snaps. I'm disappointed, thought Bumble and Bumble was the real deal and I just had to pony up to get a quality product. But it seems like a waste of money.

Quick Take: easy to use
I have alot of fine hair, that appears lifeless some days. I've been using this for about a month and truly have seen good results. My hair is fuller and easier to style. A couple of pumps at night are all you need.
