ORIBEMaximista Thickening Spray

Like all Oribe products this one is stellar. Thickening sprays are tricky. This one is PERFECT. I have body and the smell is divine. Highly recommend.

I love this product! I have been a huge fan of Oribe shampoos/conditioners since 2014, when I used to buy them directly from their website. A couple years ago I got really sick and the medications I take, combined with high stress (chronic adrenal fatigue) and uncontrolled subclinical hypothyroidism, has caused my hair to fall out which became fairly noticeable (at least to me) on top and along my hairline. After washing my hair with the Oribe Gold Lust Shampoo/Conditioner, I first use a little more than a pea sized amount of Supershine Moisturizing Cream on the ends on the sides and in back, then spray this product at my roots throughout my head, let it air dry for about 20 minutes, then use the Grandiose Plumping Mousse on my ends, and use a “The Knot Doctor” w/ pick/root lifting attachment on Low at the roots on top of my head, and a regular hairdryer to dry the rest of my hair. When it’s dry, I use a couple of short bursts of the Dry Texturing Spray on top towards the roots too. This regimen really plumps everything up and makes the spots where my scalp is more noticeable without any product barely if not at all noticeable. I only wash my hair 1-2x a week, but will take a pick to it, spray the ends using a water misting bottle which reactivates the thickening spray and mousse and give the top a couple more short bursts of dry texturizing spray, moderately style it (no other hot tools), and after getting my big hair and updo going on, spray it with Free Styler Working Hairspray on top and Superfine Strong Hairspray on the sides and in back to hold my updo in place without any wisps. It looks even better the 2nd day forward, and I’ll do the same “upkeep” regimen every other day. I’ve even gone 1.5 weeks without washing my hair when I was feeling really horrible, and at least my hair looked really great, lol!I have seriously chemically sensitive skin and psoriasis on my scalp and forehead, prone to severe itching from extremely dry scalp, but these products don’t irritate my psoriasis at all and seem to balance out the dryness of my scalp and hair very well. I have moderately curly, used to be ridiculously thick, will frizz out to a “Persian Fro” in humidity, but now I have thinner volume, though it still takes awhile to dry my hair either with a hairdryer or airdry. Also, the best part, is my hair has finally started to grow back, though seriously grey, but I can deal with that! lol.Of course everyone’s hair/scalp is different, and things like the texture, shampoo/conditioner, water hardness/chemicals, coloring, water temperature and even medical conditions/medications play into how your hair might respond to these products, but I encourage you to contact Oribe and consult with them on which of their products might work best for your situation, because they have really great products overall and just because one product doesn’t work for you doesn’t mean they don’t have something that will be your miracle product. That’s why they have so many different products…they spend a lot of money and time doing research and developing a wide range of products to address many different concerns and understand that your hair concerns/goals aren’t simply about whether you have dry/oily, fine/thick, curly/straight hair :)

Great product but why would a company make a travel size bottle that is NOT refillable???Multiple people in my household tried. No amount of twisting, turning, or even pliers could open this bottle to refill it.This makes zero sense! Do they think we will only travel once? Very disappointing!

My formerly thick and full hair has lately lost some of its volume and texture -- stress, illness, medications, aging! I've used Oribe products in the past and loved them, but, they are pricey. Being very discouraged with the current status of my hair, I decided to purchase an Oribe product again. This product has performed even better than my expectations; making styling so much easier, returning the volume, fullness and body my hair has been lacking. I apply it according to the directions, and love the results. It's fabulous and I will continue to use it.

Would buy it again

I have very fine/thin naturally wavy hair. Perhaps I used too much, but this made my hair very dry, and it felt like straw. It did make my hair thicker/fuller with the product, but made it feel very dry and straw like. The smell is pleasant and it was delivered quickly.

I fell in love with this product for the first time with the last small bottle my daughter gave to me. It smelled sumptuous and wonderful, didn't weight my hair down but thickened it for styling. It's an expensive product but I knew it would be worth it.I never leave bad reviews but I was really disappointed. It has zero smell and does not thicken the same way as the last bottle. I won't purchase again.

I have tried so many other products that process to thicken your hair and they are all lies- it either doesn't do anything or makes your hair static, but Oribe actually does make it thicker and gives it a good weight and body- well worth the price and ill never use anything else now!
