Mostly, I’m sceptical about shampoos and conditioners that promise to boost volume. That’s what your volume spray or mousse is for, isn’t it? So when presented with Kate Moss’s hairdresser, James Brown‘s new babies, I could have walked away with a toss of my perfectly volume-filled bob (thank you Oribe, for your seriously good if rather expensive, Volumist spray). But Brown has that kind of effect on me. Suffice it to say, I lathered, conditioned, rinsed, towel dried. As my hair began to ‘air dry’ (me munching on my boiled egg. 8am), I noticed that it looked a bit bulkier than usual. To put this shampoo and conditioner through its paces, I forewent the volume spray, ran a small blob of mousse through and blow dried as normal. The result was lovely, thick, bouncy hair. Now, at £5.99 a pop, plus a blob of say, my Garnier volumising mousse, I’m converted. My eye wateringly expensive A-list, spritz will be kept for particularly, special occasions.
