I'm looking for either:
A great sulphate/silicone free volume shampoo/conditioner all in one.
OR, a normal/volume SLS free s/c I can use most of the time AND an extra volumising s/c I can use occasionally. (For occasional use it doesn't necessarily have to be SLS free, although I'd prefer if it was. Also if it is really good I don't mind it being slightly more expensive since I'll probably be using it sparingly :P)
Most volume s/c seem to be aimed at 'fine & limp hair', however my hair isn't particularly thin, and I'd say I have quite a good amount of hair. I'm part asian, so while my hair is not as thick and 'springy' as full asian people, it tends to be weighed down and easily flattens/smooths down.
I already have layered hair, dry my hair upside down and use products to help my hair look 'bigger and fluffier' but I was wondering if volume s/c could help too.
Products I've tried:
Aussie awesome volume s/c - I really liked the noticeable volume, but I wasn't happy about the sulphates.
L'Oreal Everpure Colour Care & Volume - The sulphate-freeness made my hair feel great, however it wasn't that volumising.
Jason Restorative Biotin s/c. - I was happy that it was very natural, but it really didn't work with my hair as it left a strange residue afterwards.
I've also seen these s/c which look like they may be good but I haven't tried them:
Avalon volume, Palmer's coconut oil, Burt's Bees volume (bit expensive for me), and dr organic volume.
I've also head TIGI beadhead is good for volume (even for thick hair), but since it's expensive it would have to be amazing.
I was wondering if you've tried the s/c above or if you have any other suggestions, thanks a lot 🙂

I was gonna recommend the L'Oreal Everpure after reading the first passages. It gives good volume for me (though I normally Co-wash, I use it like every 2 weeks, so maybe the extra-clean-nes helps with more Volume too...)
What I find gives volume too is letting your hair airdry. Especially if you can stick it up, like a ponytail or bun on top of your head.

Have you tried volume powder or dry shampoo?

Actually it did give me some volume, so as far as SLS free shampoos go it's probably pretty good. I haven't used it for a while because I was running low but I think I'll use some again and see how I get on. Actually, thank you that's a good point. I noticed when I wrapped up my hair in a towel turban thing to let it dry 90% before finishing off with a hair dryer my hair looked a lot fuller. I think I'll carry on doing that and try just tieing it up without a towl.
No I haven't. I've tried baby powder when I've been desperate but never actual dry shampoo xD. I saw some volume dry shampoo in the stores recently and I was wondering if it's any good.
