this product adds volume to the hair without back combing. I do wish they'd make it in a dark color, however. You don't ever want to sprinkle it into damp hair as it will make a big sticky mess. Make sure the hair is dry. I use it on the back of my hairdo where my hair is appreciably thinner. It only takes a tiny bit so one container lasts a long time.
This is the second time I've purchased L'Anza. I have VERY FINE hair and it's strong enough but not TOO STRONG to control flyaway strands when newly washed.
