<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://beautytap.com/product-category/brands/c/calista">The Calista </a>Embellish Texturizing Definer took some getting used to to learn how to use it. I'm a hairstylist and tried it on my own hair first, then tried it on a few different clients. I found it worked better on short hair giving it root lift and volume. I tried it on the ends of longer hair to smooth the ends and wasn't as impressed. The texture after applying to the ends of long thick hair was harsh and not "workable". It didn't really smooth the ends or make them look better, just gave them an undesirable texture. I will definitely use this product on short and thin hair as it worked really well on those types. I would not recommend for thick or long hair. Long or thick hair doesn't need texture because it generally already has both.

First, let me start by saying this is a product I have been missing in my life! I’m a master cosmetologist of 33 years. I’m also a make up artist a nail tech and a aesthetician. Calista embellish texturizing finer is a wonderful product. I have thin flat hair and I have so much trouble getting volume at the root. This product takes just a little bit when you pump it out and even the next morning after applying this product to my roots had lift and volume. I do suggest with this product, though less is more and I do not like a product that leaves my hair feeling icky in the beginning. I did not like how the roots felt but after a little while I still had volume, but it did not have the gunky which I liked. It doesn’t have a big smell, which was nice. It is a little tacky which I think it’s supposed to be to make it work good. So if you’re looking for a product to give you some lift at your roots highly suggest this product!

Calista Embellish Texturizing Definer is my absolute first product from this line. Calista got on my radar some time ago and I am happy I had the opportunity to review one of the products.Embellish Texturizing Definer comes in a sealed can with a manual pump and has an absolute coolest texture ever. First, it comes out cream-lotion when you pump but then to activate it, you need to CLAP your hands together to get the fibers to appear. It quickly transforms from cream-lotion to a very weightless almost cotton candy like texture to volumize, lift and define your hair. Once it is on the hair and styled all I have to do is to refresh it every 2-3 days. The styling effect is there until you wash your hair next time. It is not extremely sticky or goopey or heavy and it will work on the variety of different hair textures.
