Hair volume
We’ll never stop repeating this: always choose your shampoo based on your scalp type.
However, root volume is something people with any scalp type might want.
Typically, volumizing shampoos contain 1–2 stronger surfactants, while the rest are gentler. This combination ensures the shampoo cleanses the scalp well without irritation and helps boost volume at the roots.
Important: pay attention to the conditioning ingredients in the shampoo and the condition of your hair along the lengths.
For example, if you have fine hair and the shampoo contains only mild surfactants and rich, heavy emollients (like oils), it may:
• not cleanse the roots effectively
• weigh your hair down
• and fail to deliver the volume you’re looking for
Also consider the products you apply along the hair lengths (masks, conditioners, leave-ins, etc.) — if they’re too rich or heavy, they can cancel out the root lift.
So, to achieve root volume:
• Start with a volumizing shampoo appropriate for your scalp type
• Then, adjust your follow-up care products based on your hair’s texture and needs
