Available in Boots If you have fine hair like me (you may catch me whinging about this from time to time) this is a wonder product. This seriously adds volume and gives a great finish to blowdried hair.

I first tried this out a few years ago and several people commented on how much thicker my hair looked and that was without my asking their opinion. It doesn't add much shine to my hair but volume is always more important than shine for me so I can't praise this enough.

Redken Anti Snap, 18.90 Available at Peter Mark

This is a real protein boost for weakened or fragile hair and was recommended to me by several hairdressers when I decided to grow mine a little longer.

I just apply it to the ends of the hair and it keeps any frizzy bits in check. A little goes a long way with this product so even using several times a week you should have it for months.

Like all their other products a little goes a very long way. As your hairdresser will tell you, the more expensive products are highly concentrated so while they cost a bit more, they should last you far longer than cheaper ones.
