I, too, have very straight, fine hair that is past my shoulders. I always look for products that will give my hair more body, etc. I recently started using an AMAZING product made by SunGlitz called "Pre-Plus". It's like a detangler/conditioner/demineralizer/porosity equalizer all in one. You use it like a conditioner after shampooing. I can't tell you how incredible it makes my hair feel. It is so full of body and it's very soft. The demineralizer in it really takes out the "gunky" feeling that hard water leaves behind. I can't find a local salon that carries SunGlitz where I live, but you can find it at WWBS. I'm a major fan of this stuff. BTW, I've used ABBA volumizing gel and my conclusions were exactly like yours. I hated the stuff. It was like Elmer's glue. Anyway, if you want to try a great product, give PrePlus a whirl. :) Kelly

>I have tried Guts before, but it seemed to leave my hair sticky, and the volume did not last long. Back to Basics Wildberry Volumizing shampoo and conditioner work very nice. They give volume, yet they leave your hair soft and shiny. As far as a root volumizer, you might want to try the new one from Biolage (Amplify). Just be careful to spray it on your roots, not your scalp, otherwise it will leave a film. Good luck!!!I'm having the worst time finding products that don't> weigh my shoulder length, fine hair down!

What do you all think of this product?> Also has anyone tried Abba's volumizing shampoo? Does> it work for you?
