REVIEW: Organix Thick & Full - Three Cheers for Biotin and Collagen!

"After just one use strands feel thicker, fuller, and more abundant."

Let's be real, we've all heard that before. Every single one of us has gotten our hopes up and rushed home from the store or the stylist with visions of thick, glossy locks in our heads only to notice no change at best. The unfortunate truth is that most hair products end up weighing fine hair down, making it feel greasy and damaging already fragile ends. Needless to say, when Organix debuted their Thick & Full line, I was dubious.

I'd seen Organix Thick & Full in the drugstore many times, usually next to my previous favourite of several years. Several times I had paused to investigate the bottle, sort of like when you're with a long-term significant other and someone cute walks by: by no means are you going anywhere, and you feel guilty even noticing, but sometimes you just want to see what's out there.

Well, as it happened, the drugstore ran out of my favourite shampoo, ending our relationship, so I took a moment to mourn before taking a few steps down the aisle to pick up a bottle of Organix Thick & Full Biotin and Collagen Shampoo and Conditioner, reassuring myself that change is good and that I could always go back if I hated it. I wasn't expecting much change in my hair texture, as it's been stubbornly, exasperatingly fine since birth, but nothing ventured, nothing gained, I thought as I handed over my credit card.

The first thing I noticed is that it definitely did not weigh down my bank account. At $9.99 per bottle, this stuff is a steal. The bottles look small, but they hold a surprising amount of product.

I washed and conditioned my hair the next morning and I noticed a difference as soon as I started blow drying. My hair felt clean, but more importantly, it felt like it had so much more body than usual. It had texture. It looked so much thicker than it ever had. I loved it! I felt really beautiful for the first time in a while. It looked exactly how I'd always wanted it to look. As a bonus, the shampoo and conditioner smell nice and they're sulfate-free, which is healthier overall for both natural and colour-treated hair.

I love Organix Thick & Full. I give it five stars. It's my new favourite shampoo (so here's to many years together). I recommend it for anyone who wants the look and feel of thicker hair, but for whom other volumising products don't really do much. You won't regret switching brands, I promise.

Have you tried this product? Have you tried any of Organix's other products? (I haven't, so let me know how they are!) Do you have a suggestion for a review? Sound off in the comments or on Twitter @finehairdontcar!
