Having for the past 10 years suffered from constant hair thinning due to health and medications I had for the last year graduated to dry brittle hair that I could do nothing with as it just seemed dead. I would put it back in a clip and feel desolate as when health is bad trying to look good lifts your spirits. I gave it thought about these products as they are very pricey on my income but ordered this and the recovery shampoo and conditioner. It was a real last hope as had tried all the other expensive and "cult" types over the years. I have used all three items just once and my hair feels amazing. Its soft, shiny and even has its wave back and I wore it loose yesterday for the first time in ages and it felt alive. I debated on the thickening shampoo but so many of them make the hair feel cloying and look dry and can't afford the risk of a mistake. I shall certainly save and get these three products again in full size though and if I get a chance maybe be brave and try the trial sizes of the thickening one. Wish they were in stock now to get the Black Friday offer as well. Just a thought I have never found a styling product that didn't feel horrid on my hair even when it was healthier this is so different and it smells gorgeous too :)
