How do clean hair volumizing products compare to synthetic ones?
Unlike synthetics, clean volumizing hair products rely on natural thickeners like rice bran or tapioca starch to add volume to hair. The environmental impact is another win for clean brands, as they use recycled packaging and prioritize sustainable sourcing. Synthetic products, on the other hand, might rely on more energy-intensive processes and potentially harmful ingredients. It is important to note that due to using natural ingredients, clean hair volume products won’t offer the same extreme hold that synthetic hair volumizer does. -
How are clean hair volumizers different from natural or organic?
The clean hair volumizers we carry adhere to The Credo Clean Standard™. This means they are free of over 2700 potentially harmful ingredients and have been vetted by our team for their safety and efficacy. Natural volumizing hair products may use natural or naturally derived ingredients, but there is no standardized definition for what constitutes 'natural' in the beauty industry. Organic hair volumizers, on the other hand, must meet strict standards set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture via the USDA Organic program. -
Can natural hair volumizing products be used on colored hair?
Colored hair can rock natural volume too. Many of the natural volumizers we stock are formulated to be color-safe, as they often rely on ingredients that gently add volume without stripping color. Look for volumizers with rice protein, which adds texture without weighing down hair, or nettle extract, known for its hair-thickening properties. Studies have shown nettle extract to be effective in increasing hair diameter, leading to more voluminous tresses. -
Is it better to use a volumizing shampoo or conditioner?
While shampoo is an ideal volumizer for fine hair, as well as other hair types, a lightweight volumizing conditioner can add a touch of manageability without sacrificing lift. The key is to choose a conditioner that won't weigh your hair down. Ultimately, using a volumizing shampoo is the first step for noticeable volume in hair. You can then decide if a lightweight conditioner is needed for manageability without compromising the volume boost.
