Fear not, we've unearthed some gems, tested them and are happy to introduce them to you. Try 'em, reap the benefits and thank us later.
Pretty much a miracle product for limp, fine hair that is thin or thinning, Volumette is made from a blend of water-infused mattifying silicas and natural hair thickening proteins.
