People who want big, long-lasting volume from a blowout, particularly in humid weather. Sexy Hair designs Root Pump Plus for medium to coarse hair, while Spray & Play Harder is made for fine, medium and coarse hair.

Both products are used straight from the can, so the kit suits confident at-home stylers as well as stylists. It makes an easy gift for anyone who already reaches for Big Sexy Hair stylers.

Most volume fades because the lift built during the blow-dry is never set. This kit pairs the two steps that fix that: Root Pump Plus goes in at the roots on damp hair to give the brush something to work with, and Spray & Play Harder sets the finished shape with a firm, humidity-resistant hold. Buying them together in the holiday box gives you full-size cans of both for a single gift.

• Root Pump Plus: shake well. Spray into damp hair at the root and mid-shaft areas, then blow-dry hair away from the root.
• Spray & Play Harder: shake well. Spray into dry, styled hair for volume and a firm all-day hold.
• For extra lift, pick up sections of hair and spray Spray & Play Harder at the root.

Pros:

• Two full-size 10 oz cans: a root-lift mousse and a firm finishing spray that work as one routine
• Root Pump Plus has a targeted nozzle, so the product goes to the roots where lift is built
• Both are rated by Sexy Hair for up to 72 hours of humidity resistance, and the hairspray is flake-free

Cons:

• Both are aerosols, which some people prefer to avoid
• High and firm hold levels can feel too strong if you want a soft, brushable finish
• Root Pump Plus is designed for medium to coarse hair, so very fine hair may find it heavy if over-applied
• Limited-edition holiday packaging, available while seasonal stock lasts
