it was probably the worst shampoo i have ever used. I have very thin hair so i bought this and I wanted my hair to look healthier. the only thing it did is making my hair like STRAW and frizzier.

worst worst worst.

Yuck. This shampoo did nothing for my hair except for leaving it feeling like it hadn't been washed. The conditioner didn't seem to condition at all, and I was left with a hair hangover - a shampoo and conditioner that left my hair feeling as product-filled and unwashed as the day before. Left a really heavy film, too. I'm sticking with my Sheer Blonde Volumizing. It has yet to do me wrong.

I loved this shampoo as long as I was only using it every once in awhile. Whenever I started using it on a regular basis, it built up in my hair and left it feeling weird and looking flat. I ended up throwing it away when I had about 1/6th of the bottle left because the build up just kept getting worse. I will not buy it again, but if I am staying at a friend's house, I would definitely use it as it is great for just once in awhile.

For the expensive price yes it is a bad product but just the product it self, not bad. Didn't dry my hair out (not like most shampoos do), and cleaned very nicely. I can live without putting conditioner on with this. I'm not sure about volumizing, because I put my hair in a pony tail, but in the morning and at night, I think it's alright. I don't use it with the conditioner so maybe that's why.

I don't know what it is about the L'Oreal shampoos, but they don't work well on my hair, which is shoulder length and on the fine side. This shampoo dried it out and made it look flat. The L'Oreal Shampoos also feel like they leave a film on my hair. Would not purchase again.

I just tried this today, and thus far I'm thrilled. I've got extremely fine hair, and it's about 3 inches below my shoulders, which means I generally have no volume whatsoever. Even with my hair still wet, it felt like my hair was thicker. I'm having a super hair day today! It looks fuller, thicker, and has great swing to it. Even after being outside in the wind and re-brushing several times, the difference is obvious.


I'm definitely going to keep using this, and will hope for continued great results. I can't say as I think it smells like a creamsicle, but I do like the scent.

This shampoo is very watery and I feel like it might be making my hair flatter rather than making it have more volume, definately not good since I bought it based on the name "volumizing shampoo". It just seems like it makes hair sleek and just kinda hang. Might be better for people with dry hair.

This is a very nice volumizing shampoo for a very decent price. I found the consistency to be quite thin though and I end up wasting alot but will definitely buy again for my extremely fine, thin and highlighted hair.

This is a fairly average shampoo. It gets my hair very clean and rinses easily, but it also leaves my hair looking a little dull, even after using conditioner. And unlike many other reviewers, I hate the sickeningly sweet smell of this shampoo.

Both this and the conditioner give hair TONS of body and volume. Even the conditoner used with a different shampoo seems to "plump up" my strands. So don't use this unless you want SERIOUS volume!! Normally to get this kind of volume I have to use mousse, a big round brush and blow dryer!! I give it a 5 because even though I wound up not liking it it really works!!

Finally I've found something that gives some body to my fine hair! I've been using this for about a month now and I'm really pleased with the results. I do find I need to use a conditioner with it or my hair is prone to static (not a good look) but all in all, a good product.

I've never been impressed with any L'oreal product except the haircolor. Well, the same goes for this shampoo, horrible for fine/thin hair. It gave it no body whatsoever and left this gooey film all over my hair. It became totally unmanageable. Would never use any L'oreal hair care products again, I've tried too many and have always been disappointed.

Maybe it doesn´t volumes enough but I like the shampoo anyway. Because it smells nice and makes my hair soft.

For some reason this summer my hair has been pretty flat and it tends to get oily at the roots about 8-12 hours or so after I wash it. This shampoo didn't really do much for my hair. Maybe added a LITTLE volume, but it still got oily towards the end of the day. On the plus side, it did smell VERY nice.

I recently bought L'oreal Vive Volume Infusing shampoo and condtioner. I tried it for the first time today and am failry pleased.

The scent is amazing and lasted after drying! (a plus for me i love good smelling hair)
I noticed more volume in my thin straight hair, definately more "fluffy" and less weighed down.

One problem I did have is my hair felt a little dry...Im probably going to be alternating this with my herbal essences.

I'm rating the new Vive volume-infusing shampoo in white/blue ... I have pretty dry and damaged ends and I use the Smooth-Intense with Nutrileum as a conditioner paired with this Vive Volume shampoo... I used the Vive line before and it was great... then I switched to TiGi's Catwalk Sexxed-Up Shampoos and Conditioners for a few years... L'Oreal's got a completely new look now to their Vive line and since I'm nearing the end of my Catwalk ones again I decided to pick up the Vive Volume-Infusing Shampoo... boy... am I a convert!!! This is now my staple shampoo... really gives volume that lasts all day for me!!! This new formulation seems to be even better than the old one!!! I'm completely a faithful user now!!! :D

While I loved the conditioner, this shampoo was WAY too drying for me. I can see this working for ladies with fine/limp/greasy hair. I have fine, but thick and normal hair. Dried my hair out after one use. Gave 2 lippies bc the scent it to die for. Seriously, smells like orange dreamscicles. And, it's pretty cheap. Won't repurchase.

WOW! This shampoo (and conditioner) is a holy grail for fine hair! It brings out body and shine without stripping your hair or leaving it dry. The conditioner is just thick enough to tame fly-aways perfectly without greasiness or weighing hair down. The balance of cleansing and moisturizing is perfect. And the other reviewer is right, it smells just like orange creamsicles. My hair is left feeling silky and light and healthy and perfect. I love it :)

I bought this because it's a new product that was on sale at Rite-Aid. It smells just like an orange creamsicle! :o) It lathers well and it leaves my hair feeling soft and looking very healthy. I'm going to be buying more when I run out. Huge rave from me! :o)
