Flat hair is often fine hair. You may find that you have lots of fine hair but it just lays close to your head. Whether your hair is limp or you have fine, flyaway hair, look towards using some products that offer volumising results. Volumising products help to build up hair, giving lift at the crown and the roots so that your hair appears fuller and has added bounce and life.
Here are our top Volumising products:
1. JASON Volumizing Lavender Shampoo & Conditioner
Featuring lavender, evening primrose and sweet almond extracts to strengthen and fortify, and wheat and quinoa proteins to build volume, and jojoba seed oil for softness and manageability.
2. Avalon Organics Volumizing Rosemary Shampoo & Conditioner

4. Giovanni Ecochic Root 66 Max Volume

The best hair-thickening products work on two levels; firstly they help temporarily build body around individual hair strands, and secondly they help boost hair growth by stimulating the hair follicle and supplying nutrients necessary for healthy hair. The best ingredients to look for when considering hair thickening products are protein and panthenol - pro-vitamin B5. It’s worth keeping in mind however that some factors, such as the number of hair follicles on your head, are already predetermined, and no amount of hair thickening products can change that. Just try and work with what you’ve got!
Here are our best hair-thickening products:

4. Alba Botanica Body Builder Mango Conditioner
Sulphates and heavy minerals in conventional haircare can weigh your hair down. This conditioner calls upon gentle, botanical cleanser, exotic extracts including mango and papaya to nourish hair, and tropical oils to nourish over-processed hair without heaviness for boosted volume and bounce.[1]
When the cuticle layer of your hair is raised and bumpy instead of smooth, moisture enters the hair shaft and causes the strands to swell. This disturbs the usually neat matrix of your hair’s proteins and creates frizz. Curly hair tends to be more susceptible to frizz than straight hair.To help prevent and treat frizzy hair you can: ensure you are drinking enough water and eating a balanced diet; massages your scalp to help stimulate oil production in your scalp plus help distribute oil down the hair shaft; once or twice a week perform a deep conditioning treatment; and make sure you are using the right kind of shampoo for your hair, one that is moisturising and nourishing.

Dry and damaged hair can be caused by a number of external factors including: pollution, which damages our hair just the same as it does our skin; over-use of heat styling which can cause dryness; low humidity in winter can dry our hair out; as can coming in from the cold and into overly warm centrally heated offices.

Long Hair Prone to Breakage and Split Ends
It’s only natural that as hair grows longer, it is getting older and therefore more prone to breakage and split ends. To give your hair the best possible foundation for growth, ensure you eat a well balanced diet and be sure to get enough protein, zinc, iron and folate in your diet. When it comes to styling, let your hair air dry whenever possible, try not to overuse heat styling products, and always use product to protect your hair when doing so.

1. JASON Long & Strong Jojoba Shampoo & Conditioner

Designed especially for hair that is brittle or weak, this shampoo and conditioner feature peppermint essential oil, babassu oil, aloe, arginine, vitamin E, calendula and quinoa protein to repair and strengthen elasticity, smooth split-ends and flyaways, and help prevent future breakage.
A range of shampoo, conditioning and styling products specially formulated for strength, incredible shine, and smoothing out frizz with a dual smoothing complex of Moroccan argan oil and Brazilian phyto-keratin (plant protein derived from Brazilian cocoa). Argan oil is an excellent source of vitamin E and omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids, which are essential nutrients for healthier hair.
For hair that has lost its shine, the cause could be one of several. A lack of nutrients required for healthy-looking hair, dehydration, over-styling and colouring, frequent exposure to hard water, chlorine and/or salt water can all strip hair of its natural oils that help keep it looking shiny and full of vitality.

We are often so concerned with how our hair looks and feels that we don’t take a minute to stop about the health and condition of our scalp. The two most common scalp issues we are asked about are:
i) seborrheic eczema, or dermatitis, an inflammation of the scalp that causes scaly and flaky patches on the skin, which becomes dandruff when they fall off.
ii) psoriasis, another inflammatory skin condition, but it looks very different to eczema, in that the patches are red in colour and dry.

If you have greasy hair, it may be that you are over-shampooing your hair. Greasy hair is caused by overactive sebaceous glands, which are producing too much sebum. Whilst sebum is an essential ingredient for healthy hair, it helps keep the hair shaft smooth, hydrated and the cortex strong, too much can cause an oil slick on your scalp! Other causes of over productive sebaceous glands include poor diet, a change in environment, stress, hormonal fluctuations and medication.
Help restore balance in your scalp with the following products:
1. Avalon Organics Clarifying Lemon Shampoo & Conditioner
Designed especially for hair that is dull or lacklustre, a medley of lemon essential oil, quinoa protein, chamomile extract, aloe and vitamin E gently clarify, brighten and remove excess oils that have built up, whilst gently conditioning and sealing the hair cuticle.
