L'Oreal Elvive Fibrology Thickening Shampoo

L'Oreal Elvive Fibrology Thickening Shampoo - £3.99

Oops, seems I have bought into the latest beauty trend that is this wonderful thickening shampoo. As someone who has really fine hair that I can never do anything with, I was really interested to try this out. I read a couple of reviews on various other blogs and people were really raving about it. I wasn't aware it had been released yet but I spotted it on the shelves in my local Boots and didn't hesitate to pick it up.

There are a couple of products in the range including a conditioner, a masque and a thickening treatment but I thought I'd give the shampoo a try first as I didn't want to get the whole lot if it wasn't going to work. How silly I was. I should have picked up everything in the range there and then and gone home and smothered it all over my head because I absolutely love this stuff!

Now for the techy bit - the products contain Filloxane, which penetrates the hair fibres and subsequently 'expands', making your hair feel thicker and fuller. The product claims to keep improving after each use and even continues to work once you've stopped using it. I'm not sure how true this claim is but I'd be interested to see how my hair feels once the bottle is empty and I've stopped using it for a little while.

Even after the first wash I was really impressed with this product. As I mentioned I have quite fine hair and it's really hard to do anything with it. Products don't really stay in my hair and any volume falls out after a couple of hours. I used the shampoo as normal and after drying it felt a lot thicker than usual. My hair looked like it contained volume product but in actual fact, it was shampoo only. This is something I love because in the mornings I can't be bothered with all different types of products so to be able to wash and go and have some volume in my hair for a good part of the day is great!

The shampoo actually smells really nice too and I found I could smell it on my hair quite a few hours later. It also left my hair feeling super soft all day long.

For £3.99 this product is a ridiculous bargain. The shampoo and conditioner bottles are huge and will last absolutely ages. I am definitely intending to pick up the hair masque and possibly the treatment too. I've recommended this to my sister and my mum already, who have both picked it up and I will recommend it to anyone else who will listen!

Have you tried this? Has it made your hair thick and voluminous?
