I used to be in love with a product called  Sebastian Shape Root Lifter, that jet sprayed volume right where you needed it. But since I purchased it at a professional hair supplier called Delorme, I have never been able to find it again. 

I did, however find a similar product made by Kiehl’s called Super Thick Volumizer. It’s got the same pointed fire shot thingy to send the product straight to the roots and nowhere else and is great for adding volume around the crown of your head.

 Just a note: Plan on washing your hair the next day with this product, because greasy residue is an  unfortunate day-later side effect.

This particular product didn’t work for me because I have very thick hair, but for those of you in need of a serious volume boost, you may want to consider Kiehl’s Olive Fruit Oil Hair Care Collection: 

 I felt like it gave me too much of a “fluffy” texture, but my finer-haired friends were all very fired up about the instantaneous lock lift. With shampoo starting at $18 for 8.4 oz, Kielh’s is a more reasonable alternative to forementioned hairdresser favorite, Crede.

If you’ve got unmanageable hair, fly-aways, dry ends or any of the other problems that typically occur from over treating or over styling your locks, Crede shampoo and treatment conditioner is the way to go. This ultra concentrated formula only needs to be used every 2-3 days (3-4 if you can make it) for maximum effect. We should all know by now anyway that hair always looks better when it’s 2nd day dirty and this intensive hydrating duo from Japan will leave your hair silky, smooth, and totally fly-away free. 

 Pro: Keeping up a regular regimen keeps hair in tip-top condition, even through major styling trauma.

Con: It’s pricey as far as shampoo goes, with the bulk bottles going at over $80.00 a pop. It can also get a little heavy if you have fine hair; those looking for a major volume boost may want to consider Kiehl’s Olive Fruit Oil Shampoo and Conditioner.
