@kcladyz,  Here are two suggestions:  Aquage Smoothing shampoo and Aquage Voluminzing treatment.

For just normal hair, I get particularly good results (smoothing) with Carol's Daughter Cupuacu. Also, have you tried the Ovation? I really like that, too!

 

(You wouldn't believe the frizz I used to get with WEN!) But no more!

 

But maybe it's in the styling, too....before I blow dry I've been using Chaz's styling cream & glossing serum...that is, until Nick came along. So, now I've been using Nick's velvet mesquite serum -- equally good for shine and extra smoothness!

@blackhole99  I've been liking NC's newer sulfate free s&c! I purchased the supersizes with pumper bottles. His Mesquite products used after (the spray and gel) add volume.

@Harpa  Don't you find smoothing shampoos and volumizing shampoos difficult to find in one product? I just try to use a good s&c and count on my styling products for no frizz and volume (hint: silicones are the enemy of volume).

Hi, @Shanus,

I know there are silicones in those styling serums. You have to use a drop or 2 when hair is soaking wet (like both Chaz & Nick recommend.)

 

Maybe it is my hair type, but I always get tons of volume and bounce, but I've also been heat styling my hair w/ silicone hot rollers.

@Harpa  I do use a drop of Nick's Mesquite's Serum before drying for heat protection. I use a silicone free gel or mousse for volume.

I alternate between Nick Chavez Volumizing Shampoo/Conditioner and L'Oreal Extrordinary Oil line. Dry oils tame the frizzes, I use the volume set when needed!
