They are acidic
To achieve volume for your hair, you require an acidic conditioner with an acidic pH level. The ideal scalp pH level is around 3.5 and 6, respectively; using alkaline shampoos and conditioners could upset this natural balance and leave your tresses less porosity and elastic than before.
Volumizing conditioners contain acids that bind to cuticles, locking moisture in and smoothing each hair strand. In addition, these conditioners contain nourishing ingredients like aloe vera that promote full and luxurious locks – as well as producing a lifted appearance by making hair appear thicker.
The acid mantle is your hair’s natural defense layer against heat styling tools, weather conditions, and products. Excessive alkaline shampoo use can weaken this defense layer and leave hair with high porosity and loss of elasticity; to avoid this happening use volumizing conditioners with an acidic pH level between 4.5-7 as they will provide additional protection.
They are lightweight

They are vegan
Volumizing conditioners use lighter formulas, while traditional conditioners tend to contain heavy moisturizing ingredients that coat your scalp and cause flat, limp locks. While traditional conditioners cling tightly to hair shafts, leaving them flat and limp; volumizing conditioners use lighter versions that leave your locks looking and feeling hydrated without adding weight – such as propanediol emollient, which provides your scalp with an improved hydrating feel and improves hydration, while others utilize natural humectants such as glycerin which help ensure longer-term hair moisture retention in locks glycerin products vs traditional versions.
