L'Oréal Professionnel's Texture Expert True Grip is a fine texturizing powder, not a spray or cream, meant to add root lift and grip to dry hair without weighing it down. A few shakes go a long way: it's designed to boost volume and give strands a matte, grippy texture that styling products can then hold onto more easily.
It can be used two ways: shaken directly onto roots, mid-lengths, and ends, or shaken into the palms and worked through the hair by hand, which gives more control over placement. It's built to work on its own for a quick volume-and-texture boost, or layered with other products in L'Oréal's Texture Expert range to reinforce their hold.
Because it's a powder rather than a paste or gel, it works best on dry hair and in smaller amounts than a cream product; overusing it can leave a slightly dry, matte cast, which is worth keeping in mind on darker hair.
