Jennifer Aniston's Volumizing Secret Makes Me Look Like I Have Twice as Much Hair

Real talk: It took me a while to accept the fact that I don't (and never will) have long, thick, luscious tresses like the models in shampoo commercials. But what I do have is a game-changing trick that's helped me fake thicker-looking hair in less than five minutes — and it's on sale right now.

I first tried clip-in extensions, but the fasteners irritated my scalp, and after every gust of wind, I'd worry if they were still in place. I also don't like putting too much product on my hair because my scalp tends to get oily — and quickly — so thickening creams weren't for me. But when I heard about a popular French volumizing spray that's part of Jennifer Aniston's hair routine, I was all ears.

In a previous Vogue interview, Aniston's stylist, Chris McMillan, spilled that he uses the Sisley Paris Hair Rituel Volumizing Spray, to achieve Aniston's envious height and volume. So when the brand offered me the chance to test the product, I said yes in a heartbeat.

Like I mentioned, I'm picky about what I use on my fine hair because the smallest amount of product can end up weighing it down, doing the opposite of what it's supposed to. I had high hopes for the Sisley Paris spray, and after first use, it already lived up to my expectations; I was blown away by how thick and voluminous my hair looked.

It was incredibly easy to use, and I'm certainly no hair pro, so that's saying a lot. I spritzed it on my towel-dried hair, making sure to evenly distribute it along the top, back, and sides of my scalp, with a focus on the roots. I then used my fingers to zhuzh up my hair, and if I'm being honest, a part of me was expecting it to be crispy and crunchy post-spray, but that was absolutely not the case. I was able to easily comb my fingers through my hair, and just a few spritzes added some major volume to my otherwise limp locks.

I really wanted to take my texture to the next level, and though I rarely blow-dry my hair, I decided to style it with my go-to Amika brush after using the spray. As a result of this combination, I looked like I had gotten a professional blowout — and it only took about five minutes.

After that two-step routine, my tresses were shiny, bouncy, and appeared much thicker than before, so much so that it looked like I had double the amount of hair. That's all thanks to the spray's impressive formula, which includes boswellia gum to provide texture and give a lifting effect, rice bran proteins for volume, and vitamin B5 for extra shine.

And while the price tag is a bit of a jump scare, I can attest that a little goes a long way with this spray, so the 5-ounce bottle will last you a long time. Shop one of my best-kept hair secrets while it's on sale for $89 at Saks Fifth Avenue. You can also get it at Nordstrom.
