A volumising shampoo from Natura Siberica, formulated with hydrolysed collagen and Siberian plant extracts, for fine or flat hair.
What "collagen" in a shampoo actually does — honestly
It does not put collagen into your hair. Hair is keratin, not collagen, and the collagen molecule is far too large to pass into the hair shaft in any case. Nor does a shampoo, which is rinsed off within a minute, deliver anything into the scalp.
What hydrolysed collagen does do is real, just more modest than the name implies. Broken into small peptides, it is a film-forming conditioning agent: it deposits a very thin layer along the outside of the hair, smoothing the cuticle and giving each strand slightly more diameter and more body. Fine hair, where a small increase in diameter is proportionally large, is exactly where that shows most. So the volume is genuine — it is just a coating effect, not a structural one, and it washes out and needs reapplying.
How to get volume from a shampoo
Most flat hair is weighed down rather than lacking body, and technique matters as much as product.
Shampoo the scalp, not the lengths. Product build-up at the roots is what flattens hair; the ends need conditioner, not detergent. Two short washes clean better than one long one — the first lifts the oil and product, the second actually lathers.
Keep conditioner off the roots entirely. Apply from the mid-lengths down. This one change does more for volume than most volumising products.
Rinse thoroughly — residue weighs hair down — and finish cool if you can. Then dry the roots with your head upside down.
Note
Hydrolysed collagen is animal-derived, so this shampoo is not vegan. For external use only; avoid the eyes and rinse with water if it gets in.
