How to Get the Most out of Your Volumizing Shampoo
Does volumizing shampoo actually work? The short answer: Yes. Volumizing shampoo really does help impart body and fullness; plus, when it’s paired with coordinating conditioners, you can achieve new levels of volume and moisture while simultaneously cleansing your strands.
The long answer: It sometimes also depends. There are many products that promise volume, but only some actually follow through. We’ve tried and tested a range of these products to point you in the direction of those that are actually effective (more on those later!).
Your Scalp Could Be the Culprit
Are you using a volumizing shampoo, but still not seeing the results you want? Your scalp could be the cause of that, who knew? Over time, the use of product—yes, even shampoo and conditioner—can cause build-up on our scalp, leaving us with weighed-down strands. To help take care of this problem, try using Nexxus Scalp Inergy Gentle Exfoliating Scrub before your regular shampoo. This contains a ProteinFusion blend of wheat protein and ginger root, paired with exfoliating sugars and amino acids, that all help get rid of build-up and strengthen your strands.
After scrubbing, follow up with TIGI Copyright Custom Care Volume Shampoo and Conditioner. This set uses an expert blend of Keratin, Lipids, and coconut oil to help lift the hair.
Wash Out Your Product
We know this sounds obvious, but you’d be surprised how much product residue can be left on your strands after you thought you thoroughly rinsed. To avoid this, we love using TRESemmé Volume Pro Pure Shampoo Foam. This is a quick-rinsing formula, so you don’t need to worry about lingering residue. Plus, the foamy texture and refreshing scent make this product super enjoyable to use. After shampooing, use TRESemmé Pro Pure Light Moisture Conditioner to lock in hydration without weighing your hair down.
More Products that Can Help
Volumizing Spray
Using a volumizing shampoo and conditioner set can give your strands an instant lift, but sometimes you need a little help from additional products to achieve the volume you desire. Try using TRESemmé Volume Thickening Spray. This product can be this sprayed at your roots for an instant lift or throughout the midlength of your hair for added texture.
Add Mousse
Mousse is definitely an underrated product. Often times it gets put on the back burner, but it can help you out so much when you’re looking to achieve voluminous hair. Use Suave Professionals Natural Volume Mousse to achieve all of the volume without the pesky frizz. Start by spraying an egg-sized dollop of product into your hand and then work it into damp hair from the root to tip.
