Volumising shampoo and conditioner

glowgirl_2

I never thought I would ask this question but after years of trying I have finally got the natural hair I always wanted:TI have naturally wavy hair and now it falls in soft defined ringlets with no frizz and without using any heat:DMy method is the result of hours of searching and experimenting and now back to my original question can anyone recommend a good volumising shampoo and conditioner? The one I really wanted to try seems to be discontinued (Loreal Elvive non stop volume) and yesterday I bought Aussie shampoo and conditioner which is lovely and I am very happy with it but being new to volumising (this morning was the first time in my life I had used such a product) I wonder if I am missing something - any price products are fine but hopefully there will be some good value suggestions - thanks:)

I use Phil Smith Big It Up thickening shampoo and conditioner and absolutely swear by it. Unfortunately, the MSE in me will only allow me to buy it when it's on offer, which is usually 2 for £4 instead of £3.99 each. I can only find it in Sainsburys though and as soon as it's on offer it seems to fly off the shelves down here, I never had that problem when I lived in the north! They also do Xpanding cream, which I rub into my damp hair before blow drying, again it's brilliant! I hope that will help you

I don't believe it! I looked at their shelves yesterday but it wasn't on offer in my local. I just looked for a link to post for you and it is on offer! I;m off out to buy some

I didnt realise Elvive had stopped that shampoo! I use that one and Aussie and currently I have Pantene volume. I think you need to swap them about as your hair seems to get used to products.

I'm not sure if they have stopped it I just cant find it anywhere, tried all the usual high street place and supermarkets ad Loreal website but nothing:mad:let me know if you find some:)

I use the Aussie one and don't find it does much to be honest imho. Have yet to find anything that really does on the cheap!

Really interested to hear the opinions on this thread. Thanks, OP.
I've used Sunsilk's Anti-Flat shampoo for ages. It's been discontinued now. When I realised this was happening, I bought up every single bottle I could find. Not very MSE, but had to be done. It won't last forever, though, so I'll be on the lookout for a good replacement.

I've been using Tresemme 24H Body volume shampoo and conditionner, and I really like them, they do give my hair some ooomph!

Thanks for the replies everyone, I'm not keen on the Aussie one it seems to make my hair dry and greasy at the same time, I tried to find the one recommended earlier in the thread but I only have a small Sainsburys near me and had no luck, I have never liked Treseme so am wary of trying it and being stuck with that huge bottle, might try and find the small travel sizes, are there any other recommendations, even if its on the expensive side? Also today I received an email from Loreal which is below for those looking for Non Stop Volume products, has anyone tried the product they recommend?

Thank you for your recent e-mail.
Unfortunately Non Stop Volume Range is no longer available for purchase; however a product we could recommend for use from our current range is Full Restore 5

I had been using Lee Stafford volumising and thought it's quite good (Boots).

Then I tried an Ojon set from QVC. My hairdresser asked why my hair was suddenly so thick! They do all sorts of different types but I tried the volumising one,conditioner shampoo, pre treatment and hairspray-all good!

I would say both are good, but I now prefer the Ojon.

Do you mind me asking how you've managed to achieve this? When I let my hair dry naturally I just get a ball of frizz
