Best volumising shampoos

Finding a great shampoo can be difficult - especially if you’re trying to achieve volume, lift, body and fullness. I don’t know about you but when I see the word “volume” in a shampoo I find it hard to believe it will make my hair miraculously more voluminous than a standard shampoo.
But, some volumising shampoos have proved me wrong. When you find the right one it really works! Below is a list of seven of the best volumising shampoos that are sure to add lift to your luscious locks. In no particular order…
BEST VOLUMISING SHAMPOO #1: Schwarzkopf Extra Care Push-Up Volume Shampoo
This “push-up” shampoo is lightweight and formulated for thin, flat hair. It helps to remove residue from products that may have weighed hair down. It also contains a collagen complex that will lift your hair at the roots, building volume, strength, and shine.
WHAT YOU SAID: “I found that it has helped to tame my frizz and…gave my hair more volume, body and shine. After using this product my hair is no longer as dry, damaged and limp as it use to be.” – Glam fairy
BEST VOLUMISING SHAMPOO #2: Moroccanoil Extra Volume Shampoo
If you’re looking for a lightweight, gentle cleansing shampoo that also adds volume then Moroccanoil Extra Volume Shampoo is definitely for you. It is formulated with keratin and nourishes the hair with natural products that will moisturise, enhance volume and reduce static.
WHAT YOU SAID: “I definitely recommend this shampoo to everyone with dull and limp hair, as this shampoo is sure to give lots of volume without weighing your hair down.” – Nidhi1
BEST VOLUMISING SHAMPOO #3: L’Oreal Paris Hair Expertise EverPure Volume Shampoo
This volume-enhancing shampoo will do wonders for fine, flat hair. It gentle cleanses hair whilst infusing volume. It’s also free of sulfates and salts, which will leave your hair feeling soft, weightless and full of body.
WHAT YOU SAID: “The shampoo and conditioner together have left my hair soft but also with great volume. The volume I achieved from this product lasted even throughout humid days, which gives it a big thumbs up from me.” – HMad
BEST VOLUMISING SHAMPOO #4: Herbal Essences Naked Volume Shampoo
For a great price you can achieve healthy, voluminous locks with this Herbal Essences shampoo. Without weighing your hair down, its lightweight formula will thoroughly clean and effectively lift your hair (plus the mint and grapefruit scent is irresistable!).
WHAT YOU SAID: “This gives me the volume I need, no build up, smells great and suds up just enough to make you feel clean but not like you're stripping your hair.” – L12
BEST VOLUMISING SHAMPOO #5: L’Oreal Paris Elvive Volume Collagen Texturizing Shampoo
This shampoo will restore volume and texture for fine, limp hair. The formula contains collagen to support your hair from the roots to the tip, whilst also texturising your hair fibres to achieve strength and thickness. Your hair will feel nourished, clean and virtually weightless.
WHAT YOU SAID: “I have fine hair and most shampoos are too heavy for my hair. I thought I’d give this shampoo a go and I’m very pleased with the results. It gives my hair texture, lift and leaves it feeling and smelling nice too. I’d definitely recommend this.” – Makoz
BEST VOLUMISING SHAMPOO #6: John Frieda Full Repair Full Body Shampoo
This full repair, full body shampoo works to mend short, broken hairs, flyaways and damaged ends. Formulated with Inca inchi oil, the shampoo will replenish dry, damaged hair, while also adding instant body.
WHAT YOU SAID: “My hair feels full and bouncy after a quick blow dry. I love the fact that it's a 2-in-1 product, volumizing and repairing at the same time. My hair feels soft, smooth, and much more manageable once washed with this.” – Lana Lang
BEST VOLUMISING SHAMPOO #7: Pantene Pro-V Sheer Volume Shampoo
Enriched with Pro-Vitamins, this shampoo will remove dirt and residue from overworked hair so that each strand feels clean and refreshed. The volume formula cleanses each strand to generate maximum lift and fullness.
WHAT YOU SAID: “This, when used with the volume conditioner, is the best shampoo I've ever used! It gives my hair so much volume without it being too frizzy.” – Morrigan

Only one I've tried is Schwarzkopf Extra Care Push Up Volume Shampoo that wasn't too bad but used it ages ago.

I personally use the Schwarzkopf Extra Care Push-Up Volume Shampoo once a week and it is incredible, I wish they had a formula for colour treated hair as it does make my red hair fade quite quickly.

I haven't tried any of these products. I like the sound of the John Frieda one, I've tried a few of their products and found them to be really good.

My hair is very healthy and shiny, but fine. I tried alternating every second day a volumising moroccanoil conditioner with a beautiful cherryblossom scented shampoo and conditioner and WOW! I can finally curl my hair :-)

I have to say this: I love that there are guest bloggers that are invited onto BH to write some of the articles. I wish there was a hyperlink or a reference to their blog so we members could potentially see what the guest writer is all about!

I really need some volume, but hate how some volumising products either dry out the hair or make it so tangled.
