I've been using Sojourn Volume Shampoo (not exclusively) for the last four months and my hair looks so good today that I decided I needed to share.  This is a shampoo that does what it says it will do - it gives volume. It does not weigh the hair down and it gives hair a deep down clean and leaves your hair feeling soft. It also protects color-treated hair. This is definitely a shampoo I've been looking for. I've also tried the color preserve shampoo and it is good too, but I like volume to my hair so I prefer the volume shampoo. If you like shampoo that lathers - this is the one for you. It lathers up nicely.
Here is a blurb about the science behind the products:
According to the Sojourn team, their line has a positive chemistry for hair. You’re probably wondering why Sojourn hair care is so revolutionary? Director of Chemistry, Rob Guimond says, “It’s the only professional line to have the proper pH 4.5 to 5.5 on all of the products to guarantee that they are color safe.”
Since the natural pH of hair is 4.5, this means in this range your hair structure is at its strongest. Raising the pH of hair causes the cuticle to open—this can leave your hair susceptible to color loss and damage. Guimond says, “Most companies are savvy to this, so they use a term ‘pH balanced’—which has no significance to hair. This could mean the pH is as high as 12.” So unless there is a pH clearly stated on the product, you’re really not sure whether it’s color safe or not…
Besides it’s long-life color protection, Guimond says, “It’s the only product to have Keratin Cashmere and Cystine throughout the line. This will give permanent conditioning to the hair.” The line also has: UV protection, no sulfates, no formaldehydes, no denatured alcohol (100 percent alcohol free), no parabens, no salt and no artificial color or dye. It’s also 100 percent biodegradable and has net-zero environmental impact.

Hi Jom. This shampoo sounds good. Do you also use the condition? And, can I ask what type hair do you have - long, short, etc? TIA!  |

Hi again rileygirl, I have shoulder length hair that is somewhat thick but straight (I've been told that I have a LOT of hair). I bought the Sojourn Volume conditioner too but it wasn't anything special and did not seem to moisturize my hair that much. Most of the time I wash my hair I don't use conditioner anyway and with the shampoo I find I really don't need a conditioner because it makes my hair soft and very manageable. |

Thanks, Jom. This sounds good, and I like hearing that you don't feel the need for a conditioner with this! |

Hi Jom
Does the shampoo contain sulfates or silicones? |

| Thanks Jom !! I'm always looking for a moisturizing shampoo. I find some of the natural ones (no sulfates and silicones) are often too harsh. |

Just for clarity's sake, the volume shampoo isn't necessarily moisturizing. It is not harsh and it does leave my hair soft and manageable and I don't feel the need for a conditioner but it is not meant to moisturize. The color preserve shampoo is more moisturizing.
I also want to add that I use that old trick of drying my hair upside down to help add volume to my hair. I don't use any styling products on top of my head because I find they weigh my hair down and the shampoo alone gives me lots of volume. |

| Thanks Jom. I always use conditioner anyway, but some shampoos make my hair feel like straw. I try to avoid those |
