Recently, I had the opportunity to try Infusium 23's Volume Builder line. I've used the Leave-In Treatment, but I didn't realize that there was a bigger line out there, since my local drugstores don't carry anything but the one treatment product.
Since I have fine, thin hair that's only gotten finer since I hit my 30's, I am always looking for products that will plump things up and increase the bounce while still moisturizing, since my hair is dry.

Since I have fine, thin hair that's only gotten finer since I hit my 30's, I am always looking for products that will plump things up and increase the bounce while still moisturizing, since my hair is dry.
The description on the bottle says:
"Flat, fine, lifeless hair becomes beautifully full-bodied. Infusium 23 does it all with an integrated system of proven science and exclusive technology and personalized products that transform hair for better-than-ever hair days".
Here are some bottle shots so you can see info and ingredients- first the shampoo:
At first, I was a little concerned when I saw the second ingredient in the shampoo, Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, because shampoos that contain that have tended to dry out my hair a bit. I usually stick to sodium laureth sulfate, which is the gentler of the two (sulfate free is best for your hair, but it doesn't get rid of enough oil for me and weighs my hair down). Since I no longer bleach my hair, and have gone back to my natural brown shade, my hair isn't as damaged as it used to be, and this shampoo actually didn't make it feel dry. It rinsed away clean and didn't leave any film whatsoever, so that was a nice surprise!
Since my hair is dry and somewhat damaged, I've been using thick, rich conditioners. The problem with those is that they make my hair flat and lifeless. When I first poured the Infusium 23 Volume Builder conditioner into my hand, I noticed that it was not as thick as the conditioners I've been using and I worried that it wouldn't be enough moisture. Like the shampoo, it rinsed away clean, and my hair didn't feel like it had any residue in it at all, yet it felt smooth and silky.
Once dry, I realized that my hair had more body than it's had in years, thanks to absolutely no residue and buildup, yet it still felt soft and moisturized. If you have truly damaged, bleached hair, this may not be enough moisture for you, but anyone with oily, normal, and yes, even dry hair will love this stuff! Give it a try, and I know you'll be impressed.
If you can't find it at your local drugstore, you can purchase the Volume Builder collection at Drugstore.com.
