‘I have only used this shampoo and conditioner twice, but I am impressed as hair feels and looks thicker’
As a thin-haired girlie, I know all too well the struggle of trying to coax volume into lifeless locks. Thankfully, there are some impressive options on the market – from affordable staples like John Frieda to luxurious blends from Champo and Philip Kingsley.
Excitedly, the latter has dropped a deal on one of its most-loved ranges, and it’s worth snapping up. The Philip Kingsley Body Building Weightless Shampoo and Conditioner Duo is now £49.28, down from £56, saving shoppers £6.72.
Plus, if you spend over £65, you can unlock a free gift at checkout using the code REPAIR. It’s a brilliant excuse to stock up or try a treatment from the same line, such as the Maximiser Root Boosting Spray (£21).

For those not familiar, the Body Building duo is formulated specifically for fine, flat, flyaway-prone hair. The hero ingredient is keratin, a protein that works to plump up limp strands while making them more manageable and easier to style.

This haircare duo is formulated with keratin to boost limp hair.
In clinical trials, 81% of users reported that hair looked smoother and less limp, while 79% noted that it felt fuller and more voluminous. It’s also loved by real users, boasting a solid 4.8-star rating.
Of course, there are plenty more volumizing heroes to explore. John Frieda’s Volume Lift range is a great, affordable pick, with the shampoo currently reduced to £4.83 from £7.25 at Boots.
Meanwhile, for a proper luxury option, Oribe Shampoo for Magnificent Volume (£43) is a splurge, but the majority of reviewers love it. One said: “My hair’s in great condition now, nice shine and great volume. Yes, it is more money than other shampoos out there, and it does pain me a bit when I have to rebuy it, but I never regret it.”
Regarding Philip Kingsley, one shopper claimed: “I have only used this shampoo and conditioner twice, but I am impressed as hair feels and looks thicker.” Meanwhile, another added: “Brilliant – my sticky-out, flyaway hair is once again my crowning glory.”
A third person also expressed their happiness: “I can’t tell you the difference these products have made to my hair and well-being. Having been through a very stressful time, my hair was thinning and falling out, and I was suffering from an extremely itchy and flaky scalp.
“I googled the best products for these issues, and your name consistently came up, so I placed an order. Within a few washes, I could see the difference. My hair feels so much better and so much like my ‘normal’ hair. It’s got so much more body, and the itchy, flaky scalp has improved so much.”
However, it didn’t work as well for everyone. Someone complained: “Didn’t do anything at all for my hair. I felt it made my hair look more fly away. Very disappointed.”
But another piped up: “I have tried every shampoo and conditioner under the sun to try to control my curly hair. At last, I have found one that works. Although more expensive, you need very little each time you wash your hair. As I have got older, my hair is thinner than it was, so this product is perfect.”
