I was excited when I finally had a bunch of samples collected so I would use them all for a good few weeks and really see if this made a difference to the volume of my hair. Well in the end I don't really think it did. I did get volume but I think it was more do to it being dry, so dry frizzy hair isn't the type of volume I want. Also DRYBAR products have such a strong scent, and it's not like fruity, it's very perfumy. I didn't like that either. The shampoo is like a cream gel formula and if you didn't spread it in your hands and then spread all over your hair, it doesn't go anywhere. The first few times I just put a glob in the palm of my hand and then placed my hand on top of my head... that where it all stayed. So not a fan at all of this shampoo, that all being said I liked it better than the conditioner.
