Does anyone know of a good hair thickener? I was using an old bottle of John Frieda's Ready-to-Wear Hair Thickening Lotion that I found among my old beauty supplies in storage. It was a couple of years old but I was amazed what an unbelievable miracle worker it is for my thin limp hair. Just my luck, the PTB at Freida have broken the news to me that the line was discontinued due to low sales. I'm crushed. I see there are alot of products out there that claim to thicken hair. I see Marc Anthony's product creme in the stores all the time. I just don;t know what to spend my money on. Anyone have any opinions, suggestions on what products deliver the best? Thanks! Great site!!! |

I like your name, I call one of my cats slinky kitty! I think the only way any product can thicken your hair (meaning non hair dye products) is by putting a thin coat of something on each hair to make it feel thicker (usually silicones I think). If you get any conditioner heavy in silicone that claims to add volume, it will likely do the same thing. The problem with that is these silicone layers can build up, break off, and take your hair with it over time, and also, they can make hair appear limp or dull after they build up for awhile, so you may find that these products work great at first, then seem to make your hair go limp and dull. That's easy to fix, you only need to use a clarifying shampoo once in awhile (I use one every 2 weeks) to remove the buildup so it doesn't get dull or chip and break off. So, my point is, products with "cone" in the ends of some of its ingredients that claims to " add volume" or thicken hair are probably what you want to look for, and that clarifying is a good thing to add to your regimen if you're going to use these things. Which products work best for you will likely depend on your own hair type (due to variations in the ingredients). Sorry I can't give you a specific product. ------------- Making metal barettes/concord clips hair safe, long hair style how to: http://alonghair.wordpress.com |

I use a product called Thicker Fuller. I was expecting it to completely weigh down my hair but it doesn't and my hair felt thicker with one use of the shampoo. You can get mousse and thickening serum too along with shampoo and condition. I love it so much.
