This is a sulfate-free gentle cleanser that delivers a perfectly clean hair and scalp. It eliminates toxins such as DHT from the hair and scalp skin, a primary cause for hair thinning and hair loss. Bonus is this shampoo extends the longevity of hair color.

Many stars have thinning hair or even balding issues, but you wouldn't know it because Emmy and Oscar winning hairstylists often use Bosley products to help their celebrities look full tressed and at their best.

How do I know this? Constant set visits here in Los Angeles, and befriending the IATSE Local 706 Makeup and hairstylists over the years has given me a Carte Blanche to visit many a TV show and ask lots of questions.  Being fine-haired myself, I am always on the look-out for hair products that pump up the volume.  Bosley haircare really does the trick for me.

If you have fine hair or fragile/thinning hair issues, meet your new best friend:

Bos Defense Nourishing Shampoo for Normal to Fine/Color Treated Hair

This is a sulfate-free gentle cleanser that delivers a perfectly clean hair and scalp. It eliminates toxins such as DHT from the hair and scalp skin, a primary cause for hair thinning and hair loss.  Bonus is this shampoo extends the longevity of hair color.

Bos Defense Nourishing Shampoo is a sulfate-free color keeper that contains LifeXtend Complex, an exclusive blend of Ocean Marine, Plant and BioGenic ingredients that create the ideal conditions needed for hair preservation, growth and restoration.  Apple Stem Cell Extract is added to support healthy hair growth and assist in strengthening follicles, creating a healthy scalp environment needed for hair preservation and growth.  Pentapeptides that strengthen and fortify follicles and hair shafts, creating thicker, fuller-looking hair plus Ocean Marine extracts Laminarghane and Plantkin Extract which help hydrate follicles and nourish hairshafts, inhibiting toxins such as D.H.T.

Complementary Bos Defense Volumizing Conditioner for Normal to Fine/Color Treated Hair is the second step to follow. This weightless conditioner loaded with kelp and other marine extracts for the hair and scalp adds weightless body and shine into the hair and scalp while adding thickness and volume as it fortifies the hair shaft.  This item also adds longevity to your hair color.

The third step is Bos Defense's Volumizing and Thickening Styling Gel is perfect for those of us with the super straight baby fines: A weightless, alcohol-free medium hold styling gel to volumize and thicken hair; for all hair types.  This potion is infused with thermal protectors guard against hair damage. This product is also humidity and heat-resistant.

The finisher is my favorite hairspray ever made: Bos Defense Volumizing and Thickening Styling Hairspray.

Again, this alcohol-free extra hold volumizing finishing spray is for all hair types. It delivers long-lasting body and shine and holds styles in place without build-up, stickiness or flaking. You can run your hands through your hair and not get the crunchy chunk-o-hair piece stuck in your nails. Also humidity and heat-resistant.

All of the products preserve hair coloring and are designed for maximum hold without the gross lacquer build up of the days of yore. Hollywood loves this stuff for good reason. A tad pricier than the grocery store brands, but so worth it.
