Volumising Haircare

When I was a baby, my Mum thought that I may never grow any hair; I had the finest, shortest hair and was often mistaken for a boy! Thankfully, my hair did grow but it is not as thick as I would like it to be so I am always on the lookout for haircare that claims to give me big, volumised hair. In this blog post I am going to give you my opinions on 5 shampoos and conditioners for fine hair. Enjoy!

Herbal Essences Uplifting Volume


This was the first volumising shampoo and conditioner that I ever tried. I love the way it enhances my curls and I definitely think that it adds some volume to my hair. The zesty orange scent makes my hair feel clean but I don't think that it is the most nourishing formula in the world. It lathers a lot and I take that as a sign that it has quite a lot of parabens and therefore does not care for my hair as much as I would like it to. However, it claims to give you 'locks body and bounce' and I think that it definitely does that. It is also extremely inexpensive (£3.79 full price) and I bought my second batch of the shampoo and conditioner on offer!
You can buy it on offer at Superdrug at the moment for £1.86! BARGAIN!   

Samy Fat Hair

I love everything about this range; the witty name and slogan (Fat Hair '0' Calories!), the fact that it is sulphate and paraben free and what it does to my hair. It really does make your hair look and feel thicker, fuller and nourished. I remember feeling and seeing a massive difference after one use. I have bought several bottles and will continue to buy it. I would also really like to try some other products from the range. It is slightly more expensive than the Herbal Essences (£5.59 full price) but there is always a deal and I think that it is great at caring for your hair as well as giving it a bit of oomph!
You can buy it on offer at Superdrug at the moment for £2.74 each! ANOTHER BARGAIN!

 

TRESemme 24 Hour Body 

I got a pack of this shampoo and conditioner for £4 at Superdrug! For two 500ml bottles, I think that is an amazing price! I don't know if they still sell this pack but definitely keep your eye out for it! Anyway, besides from the amazing deal, this range is really nice. It has the signature TRESemme scent that makes your hair feel super clean and nourished. It claims to add 'body and bounce' to your hair without 'weighing it down' and I think that this is definitely accurate; my hair feels light and smooth but with lots of volume. I did not notice that the volume stayed for any longer than the other brands that I have tried but I bet if you layered it with other products from the range like the 'Body Root Boosting Spray' (which I have my eye on!), it would have better longevity! 
The shampoo and conditioner is normally £4.99 full price but you can get it on offer at Superdrug at the moment for £3.32 each! 

Pantene Pro-V Expert Age Defy

I first heard about this new range from Pantene when my Mum read an article about them in a magazine. As she was telling me all the sciencey stuff about it, I became completely sold and was desperate to try it! I normally steer clear of anything that claims to be anti-ageing but apparently your hair is the first thing to age, so I thought I would give it a go! Although it is not specifically for volume, it claims to 'thicken existing hair strands temporarily by coating'. It made my hair feel healthier and fuller and the biggest difference that I saw was that my hair was a lot shinier. I think that I would like to try the 'Keratin Repair' shampoo and conditioner from this range to see if they suit me more but overall, I really enjoyed using it . It is the most expensive of the lot at £6.99 each full price but you can get it on offer at Superdrug at the moment for £4.65 each!

L'Oreal Elvive Fibrology

This shampoo and conditioner is my most recent purchase and I am already loving them. I know that it shouldn't be a factor, but I love the packaging; it looks so cool and quite luxurious! It claims to 'expand the hair fibres' to leave you with thicker hair 'wash after wash'. I would say that this is the most volumising out of the bunch but unfortunately it can leave your hair a little frizzy. For me, it still enhances my curls but leaves my ends frizzy if I use it two nights in a row. I still really like the incredible volume that it gives me but perhaps for someone with straighter hair or hair that has a tendency to frizz, it might not be the best! I was really shocked at how inexpensive it was (£2.99 for the 250ml full price) and I bought it full price!
You can buy it at Superdrug along with other products in the range.

Hope this was useful and thanks for reading!
