5 No-Fail Formulas For Va-Va-Voom Hair
By Pia Bhattacharya,SELF magazine
Fine, straight hair can be a headache when you're looking for a little extra oomph. Through the years I've loved and lost many volumizing shampoos and conditioners, created cocktails and mixed brands - all in search of a no-fail formula. Well, here are 5 new favorites that had my hair looking better than ever!
1. Fekkai Full Blown Volume Shampoo and Conditioner, $35 each: You don't have to douse your hair in shampoo for it to work. This concentrated formula packs quite a punch - so don't let the size of the bottle fool you. It also left my hair really shiny and soft, a nice surprise since many volumizing formulas have my hair looking fuller, but dry and thirsty.
2. Liqwd Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner, $32 each: I've always been very wary of conditioners; in my experience they weigh down my hair and leave my strands lifeless by noon. This combo is a must-have for fine hair. My hair took a day or two to get used to it - but every day after that has been a shiny, bouncy, no-fuss hair day.
3. Burt's Bees Very Volumizing Pomegranate and Soy Shampoo and Conditioner, $8 each: This formula even smells healthy. Pomegranate and soy help moisturize and lift hair so you're left with body and volume. If you have to wash your hair almost everyday, try this one - it's gentle and I was actually able to skip a shampoo without looking lifeless.
4. John Frieda Luxurious Volume Full Clarity Purifying Shampoo and Full Splendor Conditioner, $6.50 each: This product is great if you use styling products in your hair (I go through so many just to hold a bouncy curl!) It gets the residue out from roots to ends, then pumps up the volume all over.
5. Dove Volume Therapy Shampoo and Conditioner, around $5 each: This smells great and feels so silky it makes washing my long hair a little less of a hassle. The texture of the formula is different from any other shampoo I've tried - and it lathers up really well so you don't need a whole lot. It's great if you're looking for volume and manageability.
