It has a nice, clean smell that isn't very strong. It smells like you would expect a salon shampoo to smell like.

The smell is the best feature of this shampoo. It is light fresh/floral that smells great when you're in the shower but the scent doesn't stay on your hair very long.

I have the same issue, I don't think this one helped but I thought Gentle Shampoo is good with volume. I also like Bed Head conditioners, makes hairs fall less and Giovanni 50:50 shampoo and conditioner, kept shed to a minimum and it made my hair look great.

I wouldn't recommend this shampoo if your hair is falling out. It doesn't actually add any thickness--it just doesn't weigh down hair so hair appears a bit thicker (for some, I got no noticeable results). Also, if you read through some of the reviews, one woman says that it actually made her hair extremely tangled so that she had to cut out bits and pieces. I figure you may not want to take that chance. Plus, sometimes, one review when it is scary enough, is enough to turn me far, far away.

No but you should def check out the Bumble & Bumble serum. It's amazing and will help to re-grow hair. Also Alterna makes a great scalp serum (Green bottle) and it will help also if your consistent w/ using it.

I can't say for sure it will help with your hair falling out, but it definitely thickens! My hair is fine and limp but with this shampoo no one would ever know.

This product does not help with hair loss - it does however help to add more volume. A trick I like to try is to spritz with Bb. Beach Spray for even more volume!

This shampoo will not help restore your hair, but it will make it seem like it is. My hair is already pretty thick, but it felt like I grew more hair in the shower. Also, it makes it appear as if you have more hair also, because of the fullness it gives.

My hair is also very thin and this shampoo was terrible...doesn't thicken, just makes it dry, wispy, and flyaway. I'm having trouble finding a good shampoo too, but for styling the best is Redken Bodyfull instant bodifier.

I doubt this product would help with hair loss; any unusual hair loss could be related to an illness or shock to your body. You should see a doctor before doing anything else.

No. Second ingredient listed is sodium laureth sulfate. There are no sulfates listed in conditioner. Same is true of B&b seaweed shampoo/conditioner.

Nope! Definitely not sulfate free. Rule of thumb here is if it doesn't say so on the bottle, it usually isn't. If you question it at all, read the ingredients.

Question
What is the best shampoo that you would recommend that gives the most body?
Hi, I have thin hair that you would never guess that it was thin because I keep it as full as possible. However I would like it to feel thicker and be healthier with less split ends. What product or products would you recommend? I have brilliant blonde hair that is soft but thin. I have a small problem with dryness at the ends. My hair looks very full, but I find it hard to style because it is so thin. What product or brand should I use? Thanks Luv

I"m loving the Bumble and Bumble thickening shampoo and conditioner. The result is still shiny, smooth hair with just a natural hint of more body. Other shampoos made my fine hair feel like straw.

Hey! I would say to give this Bumble and Bumble Thickening Shampoo a try. I have baby fine and thin hair as well and this stuff helped with volume for me. And for the dry hair, maybe try the Healthy Sexy Hair Argon Oil. This stuff smell so, so, good and it helps with split ends! I use it after every shower on damp hair mostly pulling it through the ends. It won't weigh your hair down either, give it a try.

I highly recommend Living Proof "Full" shampoo and conditioner. Leaves hair soft, hydrated, and while it doesn't perform miracles, my hair does look thicker when I use it. The Full products I've used are all great.

I have found that other thickening shampoo systems dry out your hair to create fullness. Bumble & bumble thickening shampoo balances the two by adding fullness but keeping hair manageable. Be sure to use the conditioner, hairspray, and serum as well for the full effect.

I use the Bumble Thickening Shampoo & Conditioner duo all the time and I believe it actually helps my color last longer. It has never removed the hair color. My hairdresser even commented how much she liked how she liked the Bumble products.
