Why we like it
The Moda Team Review
The step that makes all the blowout work actually last. Volume built with Brooklyn Bombshell and mousse is temporary without a finishing hold. Rising Star locks the lift in place without hairspray stiffness.
Read full stylist notes
The client who does everything right — volume shampoo, lightweight conditioner, blowout with a round brush — and still finds it flat by 3pm. They’re missing the hold step. Rising Star is that step. Amika built Rising Star as the hold component of the Big Hit system — the finishing step that makes the volume investment last through the day, not just through the morning.

Moda stylist tipFlip the can upside-down and spray directly at the root while each section is still in position from the round brush. Locking in the lift before releasing the section is what makes the volume hold through the day.

Questions? We get them.
Good to know.
The questions we hear most about this product. If yours isn’t here, a real stylist will answer.
Ask ModaIs Rising Star a regular hairspray or is it specifically for volume?
Yes — Rising Star is a volumising finishing spray specifically designed to lock in the root lift and body from a blowout without flattening it. It's not a heavy all-purpose hairspray; it's a volume-preserving finisher.
Will Rising Star leave my hair stiff?
No — Rising Star is a flexible-hold spray. It locks volume without the stiffness of a maximum-hold hairspray. Hold from distance (25–30cm) and use a light pass for a touchable finish.
Do I use Rising Star before or after blow-drying?
Yes — after blow-drying, on dry styled hair. Brooklyn Bombshell is the pre-blowout step; Rising Star is the post-blowout finishing step that seals the volume in place.
Can I use Rising Star if I don't use Brooklyn Bombshell?
Yes — Rising Star works as a standalone finishing spray on any blowout. It's most effective when there's volume to lock in, but it finishes any style with a light flexible hold.
My fine hair blowout falls flat by midday. Is this the right product to help it hold?
Yes — Rising Star is specifically designed to address this. The flexible hold polymers lock the lift from your blowout without adding weight. For maximum longevity, combine with Brooklyn Bombshell before drying and Rising Star after — the volume-then-lock system gives fine hair the best chance of holding through the day.
