James Brown London volume boost shampoo and conditioner

Having found fame as hairdresser and best friend to model Kate Moss, it was only a matter of time before James Brown brought out his own range of haircare and styling products. I don't tend to do much in the way of styling, but as someone with fine straight hair, I was keen to put his Volume boost shampoo and conditioner to the test:

Both products are formulated with rice proteins and oat extracts and are lightly scented. I can't put my finger on what the scent is exactly, but it does smell very professional and reminds me of the shampoos and conditioners they use in salons.

I found the Volmue boost shampoo easy to lather up and it was hydrating without being too rich. It does however list SLS as it's second ingredient, and over time I noticed that my scalp was becoming irritated. I now alternate this with a Naked SLS free shampoo and my scalp seems to be a lot calmer. The Volume boost conditoner on the hand was light and creamy in texture. It was easy to rinse out and always left my hair tangle free, soft and silky without weighing it down.

After use, James Brown London volume boost shampoo and conditioner always left my hair feeling clean, well nourished and bouncy, thus giving the illusion of slightly thicker more voluminous hair. To notice a real difference, I still think you need extra styling products, but these are a good starting point and as long as you're not sensitive to SLS, they'd make a good everyday shampoo and conditioner.
