Toni&Guy Styling Products: Taking Them For a Spin!

Product Sent for Review Sponsored Post

Toni&Guy Styling Product Review

Do you remember back when Toni&Guy hit Walgreen's and I was completely obsessing over their Volume Whip? (If not, the post about why you need Toni&Guy Volume Plumping Whip is here.) I love that their products are super easy to buy now that they're in Walgreens! They offered to send me a few more styling products to try out (yes, please!), all of which you can buy at your local Walgreens.

Toni&Guy Glamour Volume Plumping Whip: This is the product that I previously reviewed, though I've gone through 2 tubs of it now, so I was pretty happy that they sent me another one! This is an amazing product for adding volume, even when you have a ton of hair like I do that gets weighed down easily. It has an interesting lotion-mousse feel, and it isn't at all sticky. It's most similar to a whipped body lotion/cream in consistency.

I use a grape sized amount, I just lightly distribute it throughout my roots before I dry my hair. Then I dry and style my hair as usual. The Whip does add a lot of volume, so you actually need to be careful when using this product! It's easy to end up with too much volume! I love that I get that volume without any teasing, it isn't sticky at all (I can't feel it in my dried hair) and it lasts all day.


Toni&Guy Classic Shine Gloss Serum: This is a pretty basic shine serum. It just works. I recommend applying just 1 pump at a time to your dry hair, it is pretty easy to overdo it. I have a bit more leeway if I apply to wet hair, I can do 2 pumps then. I avoid my roots since the shine can make my hair look a little greasy, but I start a few inches away from my roots and apply all the way down to the tips of my hair. It's very lightweight and once I've distributed it evenly you can't even feel that it is in there.


Toni&Guy Prep Heat Protection Mist: Heat protection is a must. have. Yes. Ever since I fried my hair a few summers ago, on the one day I forgot to use it, I've been a fanatic about heat protection. Even if I'm letting my hair air dry, I spray on a heat protectant. Why? Who is to say that I won't decide to do a 2nd day hair style that involves heat styling? Just in case, I always use a spray like this one on my wet hair. It's very lightweight, you can't feel it in your hair later, and it won't interfere with styling at all. I'm able to spray on a little extra before heat styling if I want, something that not all heat protectants can do without making your hair look a little... stringy. This one is invisible. Perfect!


Toni&Guy Casual Sea Salt Texturising Spray: I admit that I have a hard time with Salt Sprays. I think it is because I just have so much hair, that the effects are easily weighed down. Used alone, this salt spray just seems to add a little texture to my hair, so it is easier to keep my hair in a braid or a pony tail, but it definitely isn't enough to add a few waves. But when I combine it with the Spray Gel.... Yes! It's perfect.


Toni&Guy Casual Forming Spray Gel: The aforementioned spray gel. It's lightweight but has enough hold for my heavy hair, and it isn't sticky. I do combine it with the sea salt spray if I want to let my hair air dry into a few waves, but a few sprays when blowing my hair out straight offers just enough hold to help keep frizz at bay.

Toni and Guy Salon Hair Care at Walgreen's: You Want Their Volumizer

Sponsored Post I Bought It

Review of Toni and Guy Volume Plumping Whip and Smoothing Lotion

I'm a drugstore beauty girl at heart, set me loose in an aisle and I can spend hours checking out new lipsticks and hair care products. I love having time to look at products and browse! At my local Walgreen's (and yours) there's a new product line you should check out: Toni&Guy's salon products are in stock! My Walgreen's had them in a little freestanding display in the center aisle, but your store might have an end cap or they may be on the regular shelf.

I picked up a few products to try out, the Volume Plumping Whip and Smoothing Lotion.


Toni&Guy Volume Plumping Whip Review

The Volume Plumping Whip (shown above) was the first product I grabbed. This product is a light mousse, not at all sticky. It reminded me more of a whipped body lotion than a hair product. I use about a grape sized amount of product in clean, wet hair. I just roughly distribute it throughout my roots with fingers. Then just style and dry as usual.

This Whip really is no joke. It adds a lot of volume. If you're not careful, you could have too much volume. And that volume comes without doing any teasing, and it lasts all. day. long. If you have flat hair, this product is definitely for you!

The second product I grabbed was the Smoothing Lotion. This is a very easy to use lotion that helps straighten hair and smooth frizz as you style. I used a small amount, about the size of a blueberry, and distributed it throughout my wet hair. Then I just dried my hair as usual.

The Smoothing Lotion does do a good job of removing frizz, adding shine and helping to straighten my hair. I've used it a few times now, and I didn't feel compelled to add shine serum to my hair after drying it! I also thought it was easier and faster to dry my hair and straighten it.
