"Bump It": A Product Review of Bumpits Volumizing Inserts Hair Accessories
I had noticed a lot of woman wearing the "big hair" look. Not the 80's big hair, but the new big hair where it's only big on the top. I really liked that, but with my frizzy big-all-over hair, I had a lot of trouble trying to achieve that.
Then I saw this commercial selling "volumizing inserts" for your hair called Bumpits. So that 's the secret! You put a plastic "lifter" into your hair to get that look! Then you kind of smooth down the rest. OK, I'm sold!
Well, not completely sold because I'm always leery about ordering stuff from TV commercials. My husband loves the "As Seen on TV" aisle at drug stores, so I sent him on a mission to "get me some Bumpits".
He found them at Walgreen's, which happened to be a better deal than the TV. If you order from TV or off the Bumpits website, you can get 2 large Bumpits, 1 Hollywood Bumpits, and 2 bang Bumpits for $19.99. The box Lubby got me had 1 large Bumpit, 1 medium Bumpit and 1 bang Bumpit for $9.99.
I was happy to see that they come in four different colors: black, brunette, dark blond, and Blondie. You really shouldn't see the Bumpit through your hair, but if it peeks through a little it's really not that noticeable. I've also found that the Bumpits are very durable. Plan on having them last for a long time.
The real test of the Bumpits is how well they work. First, are they easy to use? And second, how do the results look?
As far as ease of use goes, I give Bumpits a 10 out of 10. The directions are easy to follow. Even if you have no hairdressing skills at all you'll be able to use these. You just section off your hair, tease it a little, stick the bottom of the Bumpit at the roots, and lay that section of hair back over the top of the Bumpit. (Just make sure the little teeth aren't poking through.)
At that point you can just let your hair hang loosely or style it. I think the Bumpit looks great with a ponytail and/or an up-sweep. They're both really easy to do. To finish smooth a little anti-frizz cream over your hair or use a little hairspray.
As far as how Bumpits look in your hair, I give them a 10 out of 10. Whether you wear your hair down or up, the Bumpits hairstyle is very smart looking style.
Based on price, ease of use, and results; Bumpits are a must- buy!

Post a CommentI had them in my hand and put them back the other day. I will pick them up next time I am at the store. I love those "As seen on TV" sections in the store. great article.
Just bought my mom some, and afterwards saw your article. Thanks for the great information you provided. Have not given them to her yet.
I was thinking about buying these when I saw them at the store recently...but being skeptical I figured they wouldn't hold up--now I am thinking twice thanks to your information. Thanks for trying them out and giving such a great review!
Always looking for something to bump up my fine hair. Such a great review, I'm gonna give it a try! :)
A very good and thoughtful article! I should efinately come back and check out some of your other articles!
Wow, I thought these would be just another useless product but I love your review so I might just try it. My hair is so soft that I can't wear barrettes because they just slide down. Maybe bumpits might work?
Wouldn't it figure. I just got used to wearing my hair flat on top as has been the craze the last couple years.
I loved this product, it really looks cute in so many different ways!!! Super detailed and well written review, totally agree.
My husband and I always have a bit of a giggle when we see the adverts for these (long story!) I just can't help feeling that the models look like they have stepped out of the 1960s when hair was "big" and full of volume. Wasn't there a hairstyle called the beehive from that period that resembles the look you can get with this product? It's good that this worked for you. As for me, I've been trying to reduce the volume of my hair, rather than add to it!

I am so glad you wrote this. I saw this on T.V. and was planning on checking at Walgreen's to see if they have it. I'll definitely buy it now, thanks to your review. :-)
