If you have fine, thin hair and volume is what you're looking for, it may be time to lighten up the products in your hair repertoire. Do you pile on the volumizing products or use cleansers and conditioners that are less-than-gentle to get the squeaky-clean strands needed for big, beautiful hair?
It may be time to ditch all that and switch to a foam shampoo or foam conditioner to get the height you crave. Foaming hair products have been around for ages (think mousse) but now shampoos and conditioners are getting on the bandwagon. Foam hair products have a similar texture to mousse and they cleanse and condition without stripping the hair or leaving behind heavy product buildup. Read on for some of our favorite foaming hair products that clean, condition — or do both in one step! Foam might be just what you need to bring a little extra oomph to your locks.
Herbal Essences, known for its deliciously scented products, now has four foam conditioners to choose from — and they add a boost of volume to fine hair. We especially love the blue ginger offering as it has a fresh, clean floral scent that lingers long after you wash. Apply a palm-sized amount after washing, let sit for a few minutes and then rinse. Your hair will be soft and manageable without any added weight.
This gentle foaming co-wash is a godsend when you are in a hurry. It's a cleansing conditioner, so it combines both steps into one. Great for fine or curly hair, apply the gel-to-cream formula into your palm and wash your hair as you normally would. You'll notice the rich, creamy texture and the distinctly Drybar scent (this one has notes of vanilla, amber and coconut). It's ultra-gentle, yet effective at cleansing the hair (thanks to volcanic ash) and leaves it soft, shiny and in perfect condition.
Volaire is all about volume and the first step in its line of vegan, color-safe, sulfate- and paraben-free hair care products is this foam shampoo. It's formulated with coconut-derived cleansing agents, as well as kelp, algae and a blend of botanicals to cleanse, strengthen and add shine. The shampoo dispenses as a luxe mousse to cleanse and soften, then rinses away leaving hair weightless.
Another double-duty cleansing conditioner in foam form, Analog is great for weightless cleansing and softening of fine or chemically processed hair. It's infused with argan oil to nourish and soften dry strands. It also contains green tea, horsetail and nettle leaf extracts to strengthen, mend and impart shine. Hair is left with beautiful shine, volume and a spicy, fruity fragrance.
