The volume-boosting solution your fine hair has been waiting for

John Frieda Luxurious Volume Core Restore Hair Reviews

Here’s what our Review Crew® had to say about the John Frieda Luxurious Volume Core Restore trio

Beauty Crew Contributing Editor / May 21 2018

The product

Fine hair and volume are not two (ok three) words you usually hear together. Because fine hair can be so weightless, it’s tough to get enough bounce and volume from your strands. But John Frieda’s Luxurious Volume Core Restore is formulated to solve this very problem. Together the John Frieda Luxurious Volume Core Restore Protein-Infused Shampoo, John Frieda Luxurious Volume Core Restore Protein-Infused Clear Conditioner and John Frieda Luxurious Volume Core Restore Advanced Protein Volumizer work to transform fine hair from within to achieve effortless, everyday volume.

The panel

Beauty Crew sent the John Frieda Luxurious Volume Core Restore Protein-Infused Shampoo, John Frieda Luxurious Volume Core Restore Protein-Infused Clear Conditioner and John Frieda Luxurious Volume Core Restore Advanced Protein Volumizer to a panel of women aged between 32 and 48 years old with very fine, ageing and/or brittle hair who wanted an affordable solution.

The lowdown

Here’s what the Review Crew® loved about the John Frieda Luxurious Volume Core Restore haircare range:

It left their hair thicker and fuller: Living up to its promise of more volume, our Review Crew® members found that their usually-flat and limp fine hair looked and felt fuller, even after just one use. One member, Mim, said “My hair has such lovely volume and bounce when using this shampoo; it has quickly become my new favourite.”

It didn't weigh down fine hair: Some reviewers commented on how they don't like to use conditioner on their fine hair as it leaves it looking lifeless and weighed down. But the Core Restore Protein-Infused Clear Conditioner was different - instead the clear gel formula (the first of its kind!) left their hair soft and smooth with added volume. They found the same with the Advanced Protein Volumizer: it was much more lightweight than hair treatments they'd used in the past that tend to leave their hair greasy and heavy.

A little product goes a long way: Many Review Crew® members claimed that you only needed to apply a little when using all three products. They added that due to the already-affordable price of each product, this haircare range offers amazing value for money.

Good to know: The Advanced Protein Volumizer is heat-activated so members commented that you really need to blow-dry or heat style your hair to get the maximum results from this product. When they did heat-style their hair however, they found the volumising results lasted for days.

The verdict

“I love this shampoo! I have fine hair and all of the colouring has taken a further toll. After using this shampoo my hair feels thicker and has more volume. I love that you don't need to use much to get a good lather going. My new favourite shampoo!”

“I enjoyed using the trio of products. After 3 washes I was impressed with the extra volume I had. It has a gorgeous smell and the gel texture [of the conditioner] was really easy to work with. My hair suffers from daily heat damage and I noticed an improvement after using this. Would definitely recommend this product and I will keep using it!”

“I only used a small amount of this product [the Advancer Protein Volumizer] and the results speak for themselves. Combined with the shampoo and conditioner my hair has more volume then ever. It's hard to find volumizer serums that don't make my hair feel oily but this has definitely done the job! A+”
