Fine Hair Saviours

Hello (:

Something a bit different from me today. I've thought of venturing into blogging about beauty bits and bobs for a while and have a huge list of potential posts, so I thought I'd finally take the plunge. I'm not an expert when it comes to anything I'm gonna chat about, it's all simply opinions and my own experiences.

I've had fine hair for a long time now. When I was younger, my hair was really thick and as I've gotten older, it's just gotten a lot more wispy and flat. I never like cutting my hair really short and I don't like the idea of using hair extensions to make my hair look fuller and thicker - I know they can cause a lot of damage and they're really expensive for a decent set. I've tried a lot of products that boast volume and thickening ingredients and I've never found anything that's worked at all, or in the long run.

That was until I picked up this Aussie Aussome Volume Shampoo in Superdrug. I've never tried Aussie products before, and it was on offer for about £2.30 or something really cheap. It smelled nice and the bottle said it was for fine, limp hair, so I was sold.

This shampoo is probably some of the best shampoo I've ever, ever used. It smells incredible, it's very perfume-y, but not overpowering. It does leave a little hint of scent in your hair afterwards too, which I really like. But, most important of all, it does actually work. If I wash my hair with the shampoo and the conditioner (I reverse wash, as well, which has helped my hair a ton) and then blow dry my hair upside down, it looks and feels a lot thicker and fuller. I've had a lot of people comment and say my hair looks thicker and much healthier, which can only be a good thing.

A lot of the time though, especially if I'm going out or going somewhere more exciting than work and want to give my hair a little extra oomph, I team the Aussie shampoo and conditioner combo with John Frieda Luxurious Volume Blow Dry Spray. I spritz this through the roots before blow drying, dry upside down as usual and it gives my hair an extra boost. 

I've used endless amounts of blow dry sprays and shampoos that claim to make hair thicker and fuller and I've been disappointed so many times. I invested in a shower comb from Superdrug and their own brand de-tangling spray as well in a bid to minimise hair fall out and breakage. Since switching to using the Aussie shampoo and conditioner, I've definitely seen a difference in the strength of my hair as well.

This little combination of Aussie and John Frieda really works and I'd recommend it to anyone who's fed up of trying volume sprays and shampoos and feeling like they're not getting anywhere with it.

Have you tried Aussie Volume Shampoo and Conditioner? What products do you recommend to give fine, flat hair a boost?
