OGX Thick & Full Hair Shampoo with Biotin & Collagen, 385ml

OGX Thick and Full is a volumising shampoo with biotin and collagen, aimed at fine hair that goes flat within hours of washing. It is worth being clear about what a volumising shampoo does: it works on the hair you already have, coating and swelling the strands so they sit fuller. It does not affect what happens at the follicle.

That is not a criticism. Fuller-looking hair from the shower is a perfectly good reason to buy a shampoo. It is just a different thing from a hair loss treatment.

Specs

• Form: Volumising shampoo
• Volume: 385ml
• Key ingredients: Biotin, collagen
• Hair type: Fine, flat, lacking body
• Sulfate-free surfactant system
• Brand: OGX

Benefits

• Fine hair is not the same as thinning hair, and a volumising shampoo is the right answer for the first
• Works on the strand rather than the scalp, so results show from the first wash rather than over months
• Keep conditioner to the mid-lengths and ends. Conditioning the roots is what flattens fine hair
• A large 385ml bottle at an accessible price for a shampoo used several times a week
• If your concern is genuine hair loss rather than fine hair, that needs looking at by a doctor

How to Use

• Apply to wet hair and work into a lather
• Massage into the scalp and through the lengths
• Rinse thoroughly
• Follow with conditioner on the mid-lengths and ends only
• Drying at the roots with the head upside down adds noticeably more volume than the shampoo alone
• Avoid contact with the eyes and rinse with water if it occurs
