Redken Thickening Lotion No 6 Body Builder

What They Say: "Thickening Lotion 06 body builder Fatten up fine hair. Lightweight styling lotion adds substance and shine."

Jen's Experience: I am always looking for a good volumizer. Generally, I choose salon products because they tend to moisturize while they thicken; they aren't full of drying alcohol.

My results with this one are mixed. Some days it looks great, some days my hair is flat or stiff. While I've never gotten stellar results with some products in the past, this one doesn't produce quite the effect I was hoping for, but here's some ways to help this thickener work its magic. First, put this on your hair as soon you've towel-dried it. This will let it penetrate the hair better to have a more noticable effect. You can let your hair air dry for a bit, but be sure to blow dry your roots before they start to dry -- that'll keep it from getting stiff. Finally, don't put too much on, and keep it at the roots.

Like I said, this isn't the greatest product out there, but it's hardly the worst. You can use this is combination with other products to really get the volume you've been craving.

Retail Price: $13.99 (salons)

Profound Beauty Volume Power Spray

profoundbeautyvolpower.jpgWhat They Say: "This patent-pending 75mph spray creates unprecedented volume, thickness and dramatic root lift. Micro-fine styling particles are released at high speed, propelling the product directly to the root of the hair, resulting in intense lift and windblown, spontaneous movement."

Melissa Says: This definitely did give my hair a bit of a boost, especially when used throughout my entire hair while bending over and spraying liberally (one of the suggested applications). Once I brushed it through I had increased body with no buildup at all and a soft look. However, in terms of root-lifting, I couldn't achieve a significant difference. I think perhaps my hair is too heavy for the holding level of this spray for me to get any significant root volume from it that didn't get quickly weighed down; this is why I believe this could be a great natural-feel body building spray for those with fine or thin hair. For me, it's nice for a boost in overall fullness, but it didn't achieve exactly what it promised.

Retail Price: $26.00 (at select salons and distributors; go to profoundbeauty.com to find one near you)
