Rusk Being Gutsy Volumizer
What They Say: "This versatile formula builds volume, thickens, tames frizziness, creates separation, and provides curl definition or smooths and control. The conditioners and moisturizers actually improve and correct dry or damaged areas."
Jen's Experience: My hairstylist recommended this product when I mentioned my ongoing quest for greater volume and control for my hair. I've been using Halo Bodifying Gel mixed with Aveda Pure Abundance Hair Powder with good results, but this product may just beat out that combination. It's very thick and creamy, like a winter body lotion, but it has some grit to it. A small amount applied to wet hair, it produces very similar results to the gel/powder combination that I've been using. What's different though is that my hair is really touchable after it's dry; with the other combo I had a little bit of grit left to it. What that also means is that my hair is a little shinier and a little healthier looking. For those of you with ultra-fine hair, this is definitely something to put in your arsenal.
Retail Price: $12.00 (Visit the Rusk website for a salon near you)

Being obsessed with the best volumizing buys myself, I suggest you absolutely try Sunsilk Flat Shampoo and Conditioner. Really. Go out and buy it this very instant. After two weeks, you'll never use anything else! My husband even noticed the "poofiness" (on his own). Hands down, I've never tried a better volumizing pair at any cost.
