Why it's WOW

  • Visible thickening results activated by heat in just one blow dry
  • Instantly adds mass and density by bonding a weightless carb-based complex to the hair’s surface
  • Amplifies fine, thin hair without weighing it down
  • Built-in heat protectant to safeguard against styling damage

Carb Cocktail is a leave-in treatment that is activated when you blow-dry your hair.

The formula features a weightless carb-based complex (cellulose, starch, oat bran) that bonds to hair strands with heat, acting like a “filler” and adding mass and girth to every hair, so even the finest hair looks full and dense.

Does Carb Cocktail work?

+

Yes, when activated by heat, Carb Cocktail thickens and plumps fine, limp strands for fuller, denser-looking hair after blow-drying.

Does Carb Cocktail have heat protectant?

+

Yes, Carb Cocktail provides heat protection. It’s designed to be used with blow-drying, so it helps shield your hair while delivering thickening benefits.

Can Carb Cocktail be used if you don’t blow dry your hair?

+

Carb Cocktail is heat-activated, so to achieve optimal results heat is required. You can air dry but you may not get the full thickening benefits. 

With which other Color Wow products can I use Carb Cocktail?

+

If your goal is thicker, fuller, voluminous hair, we recommend using Xtra Large Bombshell Volumizer and Raise the Root as complementary products for your thickest strands and most amplified volume.

What's the difference between Carb Cocktail and Xtra Large Bombshell Volumizer?

+

Carb Cocktail is a thickening TREATMENT you apply to damp hair, concentrating on the lengths, before blow-drying to add weightless mass to hair strands. Xtra Large Bombshell Volumizer is a STYLING FORMULA you apply throughout the hair to thicken and create overall fullness and volume that lasts for days.

Can I use Carb Cocktail every day?

+

You can use Carb Cocktail every time you wash your hair.

Can I use more than one Dream Cocktail at once? 

+

Yes, you can apply more than one Dream Cocktail.

If your goal is to add volume to your hair AND to make your hair stronger, you can apply Kale Cocktail first (this hair strengthening, leave-in treatment penetrates hair to fortify bonds within strands) followed by Carb Cocktail which adds weightless, strand-plumping mass onto hair’s surface.

Does Carb Cocktail help with hair growth?

+

Carb Cocktail adds weightless mass which plumps individual strands for overall thickness and volume. 

Hair appears thicker, fuller, denser. Carb Cocktail has heat protectant properties and improves hair condition so it may be able to grow longer, but it does not promote growth. 

Is Carb Cocktail safe for extensions?

+

Yes. In fact, all Color Wow products are safe for extensions. But always consult your stylist on which products are best to use with your specific type of extensions.

    I love this product!

    I have very fine hair, baby fine. I also haven't had a thyroid gland for 25 years. Together, that makes a problem. I've only used this 2 times, but am pleased with the difference it makes. My hair is wavy and I finger style a lot of the time so I'm still learning, but I am already so pleased with the volume change.

    This has been a supreme find!!!

    My thin, flat hair does well with the WOW Large Bombshell Volumizer and the Style on Steroids. But when I added the Carb Infused Dream Cocktail it was like magic! Thick and full…. Soft and full…. Holds the volume for a long time without too much hairspray. Even my hairdresser couldn’t believe what the combo of all these products was doing for me. Love, love, love this product!
