How to Fake a Fuller Head of Hair: Part 1 (of 3)

[This Want Gorgeous Hair? series started Saturday.]

Yesterday I recommended some conditioners to give your hair TLC. They also happened to be formulated to add volume to your hair which many of us Age Warriors desire.

Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner

For maximum volumizing effect, you should use a volumizing shampoo as well. Volumizing shampoos contain ingredients like rice or wheat protein which swell each strand of hair. So the effect is very real and noticeable. You can feel and see the added thickness.

Pro Picks:

• L’Oréal Professionnel Série Expert Age Densiforce Shampoo – GHRI top shampoo for thinning hair paired with L'Oreal Professionnel Expert Serie - Age Densiforce Masque
• Dove Pro-Age Shampoo and Conditioner – GHRI best affordable duo for thinning hair
• Fekkai Full Blown Volume Shampoo and Conditioner – More Magazine (March 2010) “Styling pros swear that when you use this styling pair in tandem, your hair will appear up to 1,000 strands thicker instantly.”

Volumizing Styling Products

Thickening Spray or Cream

• Living Proof Full Thickening Cream – By depositing thickening points on the hair strands, Full creates a thicker but flexible surface that enables fine hair to have natural movement and volume “with zero crunch” according to Elle Magazine.
• Bumble and Bumble Thickening Spray – 2009 Allure Magazine Readers’ Choice Award product contains polymers that act as setting agents, plus wheat protein to condition, moisturize, and help repair environmental damage; also recommended by Fashion magazine (Canada).

Tomorrow more volumizing styling products in Part 2 of How to Fake a Fuller Head of Hair.
