magical hair thickening product?

[notagiraffe]

There was a thread a few months ago, maybe here or maybe in Menopause, about what to do with thinning hair. Lots of people came on to recommend the same product but I can't remember what it was. Just searched for the thread but can't find it. Does anyone know what the magical This Really Works hair thickening product is? (Not looking for things that appear to add volume such as BBH, but an actual shampoo.)

Thanks

Ooh following, my hair is very thin I use a powder that you run through with your hands called got2b.

Was it Nioxin shampoo? It is meant to be good for stimulating the scalp and thickening hair.

Thank Join. I don't think so, because my memory is that it was some brand I'd heard of, because I remember thinking: oh good, that will be easy to find in Boots. But there were also people saying 'don't bother with [another brand I've heard of] - it doesn't work. So I want to get hold of the one loads of people said was brilliant.

OhFuck - I saw that mentioned on another thread. Sounds good. but this shampoo sort of coats each hair with a layer of something so that each individual hair is thicker. it sounded amazing. Really want to try it. shouldn't procrastinate. Should have got it then

Try label.m thickening cream

L'Oreal Elvive Fibrology (whole range) is another one and definitely from Boots!

[Talisin]

John Frieda 7 Day Volume, perhaps? It does not last 7 days but it does work.

[LaCerbiatta]

I recommended a dove one on that thread:)

[notagiraffe]

Cerbiatta - do you remember where the thread was? I really want to find it. And thanks.

Jointhejoy - that might have been it! That was definitely mentioned.

[notagiraffe]

Talisin, thanks. That one rings a bell too, though I have a feeling it was the L'Oreal.

Might it have been Alpecin?

[Piffpaffpoff]

I cycle between Elvive Fibrology and Aussie Volume. I also use an Elnett volumising blowdry spray - can't remember its actual name but it's in a gold bottle with black spray pump head. All have delivered really good results for me.

[notagiraffe]

George, I don't think so as I use Alpecin for the DC sometimes. They like the caffeine one, so I'd have remembered it. It was a household name brand I knew but had never used. Think it's Elvive Fibrology. Going to try that.

[OhFuckOff]

I'm going to try that elvive one too

Phillip Kingsley Elasticizer Extreme used once a week has transformed my hair. It was thinning, dry and prone to breakage. One of the key ingredients is castor oil which has been traditionally used to improve hair health. I did try just castor oil on its own but found it too thick and hard to wash out.

I leave Elasticizer on overnight but you can do just a 20 minute treatment. My hair is thicker and stronger. It is expensive but worth it. You don't use much per treatment. I also use Redken Extreme Shampoo & conditioner.

[notagiraffe]

Ooh, Ujjayi - that's a really good recommendation. Can you get it at Boots?

[Footle]

Haven't used it , ridiculous price, but Aveda's Invati stuff is all about thickening. Could that be the one you remember ?

[OhFuckOff]

Well I washed my hair last night with the elvive and it's still swishy this morning! Definitely have noticed an improvement

[SlinkyVagabond]

The aveda is frankly pants. Fibrology did nothing for me either.

[user1066]

Anyone tried SWELL ? Am tempted, but wondered if it is all hype.

[OhFuckOff]

My hair is only half way down my neck so unsure if that makes a difference?

[GertrudeBelle]

The Aveda stuff is awful - it's "active ingredient" is something like turmeric and leaves you smelling like you've rubbed curry in your hair. Does nothing for thickness either.

The Philip Kingsley elastasizer is just like conditioner and made no difference to my hair. Is also pricey.

[NiteFlights]

Elvive Fibroloy and John Frieda 7 day volume. I've tried the new Fibrology Air conditioner and it is rubbish so I would recommend sticking with the original one. You have to use conditioner, I don't think the shampoo is great for the hair - but it has a definite thickening effect.
