Raise the Root is formulated with unique flexible, translucent polymers that act like a spring at the root of your hair, creating instant lift and volume that lasts.
There’s no stiff, sticky or crunchy feel like hairspray. Your hair looks and feels naturally full, big and bouncy. This formula won’t dull or darken color.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a root lifter do?
It is a product that raises and supports hair strands at the roots, so that instead of laying flat against your head, strands stand up and away which creates the look of volume.
Is a root lifter the same as a mousse?
Mousses are designed for overall fullness and volume throughout your hair, while root lifting products focus specifically on creating height and lift by holding hair up and away from your head.
Mousse is also very foamy for dispersed application where a root lifter is a targeted liquid spray.
