Turn thin into fat

Can fine and flat hair be thickened and revitalised as if by magic? I don't know if it works, but I have three candidates who claim to be able to do it...
I think it was at secondary school when I first realised that I had hair on my head. It may sound funny now, but even though I had been going to the hairdressing salon regularly up to that point and had let the odd hair colour pass me by experimentally, I only became aware of the personal significance of my mane later on. A new era began. I tried out shampoos, discovered conditioners, tested my way through the range of masks and started to integrate hairsprays, heat protection, tip fluids and Sleek serums into my routine. My enthusiasm has lasted (with a few low points here and there) to this day. I never use the same shampoo all the time and am constantly on the lookout for something better. Maybe not the healthiest way to spend your free time, but it is what it is.
Currently on my to-be-tested list are shampoo, conditioner and spray from the Dallas range of the Uni-Sex brand R+Co, which they claim provides fine and thin hair with plenty of volume. In short: the hair is thickened. I don't have much or fine hair, but who says no to more Wawawoom?

Gasket in Dallas
According to R+Co, the trifecta is supposed to smell like a blend of cardamom, pineapple, tangerine, lavender, bamboo and Blonde Woods, although I have no idea what the hell the latter is supposed to be. Apart from the hairspray (contains honey), the products are vegan. The brand also relies on a colour-safe formulation without parabens, sulphates, mineral oils, petrolatum, animal testing and gluten for all its products. Why is the line called Dallas? I strongly suspect it's because of the TV series of the same name, in which all the actors stood out for one thing in particular: voluminous blow-dried hairstyles!

So now please excuse me, I'm going to wash my hair...


As a massive Disney fan, I see the world through rose-tinted glasses. I worship series from the 90s and consider mermaids a religion. When I’m not dancing in glitter rain, I’m either hanging out at pyjama parties or sitting at my make-up table. P.S. I love you, bacon, garlic and onions.
