I have flat straight hair that is sometimes oily. That is why I love to find products that address this problem, and can give me a lift of body to my hair. I love the scent of Shielo's Volume products and that plays a role in choosing this product. I don't always use a conditioner for volume, but in this case I feel it is a benefit to use it more often. I recommend Shielo's full line of Volume products.
