Shampoo Recommendation Please

MagnoliaMs — Sat, 22 Feb 2025 00:12:47 GMT

My hair is very soft. I don’t even use conditioner. I need a shampoo that will take moisture out and give a firm hold. I would appreciate any recommendations!

@MagnoliaMs

Before you get any posts, please Google removing moisture from hair. Dry hair may not be the solution you are looking for.

Firm control is your goal: perhaps search for how / which products would help you achieve it.

It sounds like you need styling products.

Yes, that was what I was hoping someone would list.

Paul Mitchell Extra Body Styling Gel. My hair does nothing without this product. This product also comes in a foam if you want less hold. I also set my hair with Loreal Elnet Hairspray. My hair is fine, limp and straight. This is the only way I can get and keep any body and curl. And no I don't have helmet head.

Thank you so much! I was thinking about gel, and I wondered whether spray gel would be a good way to go? Does it come in that form ?

@MagnoliaMs
I use Aquage uplifting mousse and it gives my hair shine and body.
Good luck 😊

@MagnoliaMs - I use WEN products and love them. But there are so many products out there. If I were you I would go to a hairstylist you trust and ask for recommendations.

If you would consider trying WEN, they have an 800 number you can call for advice.

@MagnoliaMs I'm not sure if you need a different shampoo. You just need a volumizing mousse. I use the ColorWow volumizing one. No conditioner will dry out your hair especially since many volumizing products may have alcohol and strong hold may not be the way to go...your hair can dry out and break off.

@MagnoliaMs I don't believe any shampoo will give you "firm hold"...you need other products for that.

Try a light shampoo--yes they do make them. I use l'oreal Elvive--in a light purple bottle for fine, thin hair. It's a volumizing shampoo. Drugstore brand so not stupid costly. My hair is in disaster mode lately---can't use any conditioner on it --- is just flattens out. Have I noticed a difference----it gets my hair clean--nothing fantastic but it's better than the pricey over hype stuff I have---

Just curious, but when you use these styling products, do you have to wash your hair every day?

My hair is fine and if the stylist puts any product on it, it immediately goes flat when I walk outside. I depend more on the cut and style for volume.

@D Kay - Have you tried Paul Mitchell Extra Body firm hold hairspray? I really like it. My hair is thick and it works work well for me.
