    that is an interesting link. a little long but i found the first few minutes chat with the trichologist very informative about how hair is made up and why we all have different hair type.

    What are you trying to achieve? A lot also depends on your own skin & hair type. Plus don't ignore the underlying nutritional requirements.

    My hair has thinned considerably, and now won't grow past a certain length. So rewinding the hair clock to 19 would be nice - get it to grow and get thicker again l, can't help thinking a magic shampoo couldn't work surely ..but lose hope not

    Shortest answer - yes.

    I swear by Superdrug's Trichology Shampoo. Great stuff and cheap. Used to buy The Body Shop's Ginger Shampoo but I find Trichology better

    I do find that different shampoo changes the volume of my hair. I also find that if I alternate shampoo brands between washes, it helps to stop my hair looking flat. I use elvive repairing shampoo and head and shoulder. The elvive shampoo gives my hair a soft shine whereas the head and shoulder shampoo makes my hair look dry. So I do find different shampoo will have different effects on your hair.

    I use mainly the elvive but every so often, I will use the head and shoulder and give my hair a rest from the repairing shampoo as I find my hair looks flat if I don't use the head and shoulder every now and then.

    I also find the head and shoulder shampoo means more hair on my hair brush than the repairing shampoo.

    I have also found recently, following discussions about me getting an expensive hairdryer, the dyson, that if I wrap my hair in a towel and sit with the towel on my hair for 30 minutes after a wash before I blow dry my hair, my hair has more volume as I think the heat from the hair dryer damages your hair or makes it feel dead, so drying it with a wrapped towel first seems to work better as I don't need to spend so much time with the hair dryer on my hair.

    I find that if you put a little bit of wella shockwave gel on a comb and apply that to your hair lightly, it can give it volume through the styling as it keeps the hair strands standing up a bit and so give the effect of you having more hair, that is, volume. (edited)
