'I spent years battling flat hair, but this £26 volumising haircare range saved me'
Our shopping writer tried out Philip Kingsley's Body Building collection, and the results were amazing For years, I've been grappling with flat, lifeless hair, regardless of the number of styling products I used, my freshly volumised look would inevitably collapse within 30 minutes. I'd essentially resigned myself to the fact that unless I was off to a hairdresser, my aspirations for full, bouncy hair were doomed. That changed when I discovered Philip Kingsley's Body Building collection. I'd heard positive reviews, but after consistently using the products for a few weeks, they genuinely transformed my tresses. As a result my hair feels fuller, glossier, and healthier. The great news is that the Body Building set, which includes travel sizes of shampoo, conditioner, root-boosting spray, and plumping cream, is currently discounted to £26 from £55 via Philip Kingsley's website. It's an ideal opportunity to sample the range without committing to the full-size price tag, particularly for those wary about splashing out on products that might not work for them. Additionally, a broader selection of Philip Kingsley products are also marked down. This includes the full-sized Body Building Shampoo and Conditioner (£49.28 from £56), making it a good time to try the range or replenish favourites. Naturally, Philip Kingsley isn't the only brand offering volumising solutions. Living Proof's Full Shampoo and Conditioner (£52, Cult Beauty) are cult favourites for a reason, promising weightless volume and softness without build-up, reports the Liverpool Echo. Alternatively, Color Wow's Raise the Root Spray (£21.50, Look Fantastic) is another top-seller, providing serious lift without leaving hair feeling sticky or rigid. Plus, it's a hit among celebrity stylists (Kim Kardashian's hairdresser is reportedly a fan). Returning to Philip Kingsley, the first thing that struck me was its sleek packaging and scent. It has the look of a product you'd find in a high-end salon, and the products have a fresh, clean fragrance that isn't too strong. The shampoo and conditioner left my hair feeling soft and nourished, but it wasn't until I used the Root Boosting Spray and Strand Boosting Cream that I saw a real transformation. The spray gave my roots a lightweight lift that lasted, with no stiff or crunchy texture - just natural bounce. While the plumping cream took some getting used to (use sparingly unless you want sticky strands), it made styling considerably easier. My usual hot brush routine actually maintained its shape for hours, which is a first for me. After two weeks of consistent use, I compared some older photos and was genuinely taken aback by the difference. My hair appeared shinier, fuller and healthier (see feature image). While the full-size products are somewhat of an investment (the 250ml shampoo sells for £28), the results make it worthwhile.

This new silicone-free haircare range tackles frizz, damage, dryness and more
Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more Ever had a shampoo and conditioner whose formula you *loved* but just wished it did that bit extra for your specific hair? Sure, your hair is silky, clean and smells amazing but if only it felt thicker/stronger/healthier/less frizzy/just perfect… That's where Living Proof and their brand-new, silicone-free haircare range comes in clutch. Revealing four new shampoo and conditioner pairings last month, Living Proof are here to revolutionise silicone-free haircare, leaving dry, dull results usually found with such formulas firmly in the past. If your hair is on the dull and dry side and in need of perfecting, then the Perfect hair Day Shampoo and Conditioner Bundle will be your ride or die. Delivering 72-hours of hydration with every wash, this hard-working pair is set to leave your locks quenched and shinier than ever. shop £49.30 (save £8.70) Each of these four new ranges are scientifically proven to deliver healthier hair with every wash and treat your unique hair concerns: frizz, damage, dryness and lack of volume. And their star ingredient? Sili-CLONE™ HairTech. Sili-CLONE™ HairTech, Living Proof's proprietary new technology, consists of a blend of science-backed, multi-sensory modifiers that deliver the benefits of silicones that we all know and love. Think: shiny, sleek and conditioned hair. While it's at it, it's transforming the texture of hair and delivering healthier hair with every wash, supporting long-term hair health. In short, it looks, walks and quacks like silicone, but it's so much better. The silicone-free shampoos feature an eco-luxe sunflower-based surfactant that delivers a rich, decadent lather and adds silky slip for enhanced spreadability and performance. And the conditioners? These contain a bio-derived fatty acid polymer, Polyricinoleic Acid, which has never-before used in haircare. This ingredient is known for its exceptional silicone-like slip that helps optimise the texture and condition of the hair fibre, without weighing it down. Despite being in far more hair products than you think, silicone is a bit of a no-no for hair health. An overuse of silicones can cause stress on the hair through product build up and coating, blocking essential actives from penetrating the hair. The result is overstimulated hair that is prone to more frequent washing, styling and, thus, damage. Whilst many of us look to silicone-free shampoos and conditioners, the products sometimes lack the sensory and performance qualities we want from our hair products, making the transition to sili-free a challenge, with our hair taking the brunt of the suffering. Enter: Living Proof. And as if creating an exceptional silicone-free shampoo and conditioner wasn't enough, Living Proof has gone that one step further to release four, yes four, brand new ranges to tackle your hair qualms.
