Redken Volume Injection Shampoo For Fine Hair - Adds Lift & Body, Volumizing & Detangling Without Weighing Down, Paraben Free

If you have thin hair and are looking for a volume boost, this shampoo is for you! I can still recommend this shampoo to almost anyone as it provides a very effective and thorough but not aggressive clean. However, if your scalp is very dry and/or sensitive, or you have dyed hair (this will strip your color I'm sure), I would point you elsewhere.Review:My hair is very dense but only medium/fine and wavy, and is very porous, and my scalp tends to be pretty oily; this shampoo is very effective at cleaning my hair without being stripping at all! It leaves my hair feeling otherworldly levels of soft and poofy. I already have a decent amount of natural volume but this shampoo in combination with the conditioner from the same line brings it to a whole other level; after blow-drying, my shoulder-blade length hair will arch out an entire an inch or two off my scalp and be gloriously soft and bouncy. The silicone in this formula is extremely lightweight and does not weigh down my hair. My hair is pretty unruly and will get tangled easily but the silicones in this product are very smoothing and make brushing my hair significantly easier and prevent many tangles from happening to begin with. The only thing I dislike about this product is the initial very strong and feminine floral scent, but it doesn't really stay in my hair and quickly fades after I blow-dry.Usage Advice:A little goes a long way! Professional products like this tend to be pricier than drugstore not only because of higher quality ingredients, but they tend to be more concentrated as they are not diluted with as much water like drugstore shampoos tend to be; a quarter-sized amount works fine for me, so the bottle lasts me months! Gently massage into your scalp with your fingers, focusing on your scalp, as your mids and ends do not get nearly as dirty and you don't want to strip them of their oils. If it doesn't foam aggressively DON'T WORRY, this means it is working! Finally, as with ANY silicone product, you should pair this with a dedicated clarifying shampoo (The one by this same brand is fantastic!) ESPECIALLY if you are also using the volume injection conditioner; no regular shampoo will be enough to keep the silicones from building up on your scalp and the base of your hair.
