As anyone with fine hair would know, any extra volume we can get feels like a miracle – yet, many volumising products can leave our hair feeling limp and lifeless.
Recent customer data from haircare brand Philip Kingsley found that 58 per cent of their UK customers have fine hair, while 27 per cent cite greasy roots as their main frustration.
“Due to its small strand diameter, fine hair has more follicles per square centimetre on the scalp than thicker hair,” Anabel Kingsley, brand owner and consultant trichologist at Philip Kingsley, says. “Every hair follicle is attached to an oil gland and this means fine hair produces more oil. In addition, due to small strand diameter, fine hairs are weighed down more easily by sebum (oil) which explains why roots appear limp.”
Further research by the brand found that nearly half (49 per cent) of people don’t use hair care products tailored to their hair texture, which is why those with fine locks should consider Philip Kingsley's Body Building collection, designed for oily, flat hair types.
The range, which began with the Body Building Weightless Shampoo, has been designed to leave hair feeling weightless, bouncy and hydrated - all while being light enough for everyday use.
One of the best ways to discover this range is through Philip Kingsley’s Body Building Discovery Collection, a limited-edition set which includes trial-sized versions of the full range including the Body Building Shampoo 75ml, the Body Building Conditioner 75ml, the Maximizer Root Boosting Spray 60ml, and the Maximizer Strand Plumping Cream 20ml.
“So good to have great looking hair, manageable with that extra body that makes all the difference,” one reviewer said. “The Body Building range will have pride of place in my cabinet.”
Another added: “This really did make a difference to my fine thinning hair. It felt and looked softer and shinier after the shampoo and conditioner and the spray definitely gave it a lift making it appear thicker.”
What’s more, Philip Kingsley is currently offering 38 per cent off its Body Building Discovery Collection, taking it from £40 to £25 – perfect to try it out and see the magic that happens to your tresses. Shop it here.
