Based on a review by Tamires Maia (accessed 2026-08-20).
Based on this review alone: buy it if you care about shampoo cleanses effectively without causing dryness. — just accept the hair thickening and volume effects are temporary, diminishing with successive washes..
The reviewer "loved the line," reporting that her hair became "more full, more bodied, with more movement, more volume, more dense" particularly after using the leave-in. She found the results "incredible" and intends to continue using products that provide such effects.
Tamires Maia, a hairstylist, reviews the Elseve Colágeno Lifter shampoo, conditioner, and "mass injection" leave-in. She assesses their promises of hair thickening and volume, details her experience with each product on her fine hair, and clarifies how such products temporarily enhance hair body.
The Elseve Colágeno Lifter line delivers on its promise of volume and thickness, especially for fine hair, despite its temporary effects. The shampoo effectively cleanses without causing dryness or oiliness, while the conditioner provides excellent emolience, making detangling effortless. However, the 'Injeção de Massa' leave-in comes in a small 100ml quantity, which is a significant drawback for most curly hair types. If you have fine hair and seek a temporary volume boost, this line is a solid choice. If you have very porous or voluminous hair and rely heavily on leave-in products, you might find the 'Injeção de Massa' too small for its price.

The reviewer explains that products promising hair thickening achieve this by depositing actives on the hair fiber, which provides a sensation of body. It does not structurally change the hair to become naturally thicker.
expert_opinionneutralt=05:50–06:15
The reviewer states that the thickening effect is temporary. If usage stops, the actives will gradually wash off, and hair will return to its original fineness.

The reviewer states that the shampoo effectively cleanses the hair.

The reviewer describes the shampoo as white, pearly, and creamy in consistency.
reviewer_claimneutralt=06:30–06:37
The reviewer feels the shampoo provides a moderate cleanse, not too strong or too mild, doing exactly what is needed.
reviewer_claimpositivet=06:37–06:45
The reviewer confirms the shampoo effectively cleanses, leaves roots non-greasy, makes hair feel loose, and removes all residues.

The reviewer did not experience any dryness on her hair, though she advises those with drier hair to use only one application to prevent potential dryness.

The reviewer found the conditioner to be highly emollient and siliconized, making her hair extremely soft, easy to detangle with fingers and a brush, and well-behaved.
expert_opinionpositivet=08:35–08:50
The reviewer states that the conditioner, even after rinsing, contains ingredients that treat the hair, making it an important step for achieving the desired hair body and thickening results.

The reviewer quotes the product's claim that it increases hair volume by 61% and reconstructs mass and thickness, attributing this to a 7% complex of collagen peptides.
specification_claimneutralt=09:50–10:05
The reviewer points out that the product's claims, such as 61% more volume, are based on instrumental tests using the shampoo, conditioner, and serum together, compared to traditional shampoos.

The reviewer expresses concern that the 100ml quantity of the leave-in is very small, estimating it would only last about three applications for people with curly hair, making it potentially not cost-effective.
expert_opinionneutralt=10:40–10:55
The reviewer recommends using the leave-in before a regular combing cream, whether from Elseve or another brand, suggesting it be treated like an oil to maximize its benefit and manage its small quantity.
reviewer_claimpositivet=11:30–11:35
The reviewer states that the leave-in is lightweight and not a heavy product.
reviewer_claimpositivet=12:35–13:00
The reviewer loved the entire line, stating her hair looked "wonderful" and "voluminous" after using the leave-in alone. She felt her hair was "fuller, more bodied, with more movement, more volume, more dense" and she was very happy with the results.
The reviewer, who has fine hair, experienced a significant increase in volume, body, and density, finding the line "incredible" and making her hair look "wonderful" and "fuller." She enthusiastically stated her hair felt "more full, more bodied, with more movement, more volume, more dense" after using the leave-in.
The shampoo is indicated for fine, volumeless hair, and the reviewer, with fine hair, found it cleansed well without causing any dryness. She noted it provides a balanced cleanse, making hair loose and roots non-greasy. However, she advises users with very dry hair to consider a single application to avoid potential dryness.
The reviewer described the conditioner as "mega emollient" and "siliconized," making her hair "well desmaiado" (extremely soft or melted) and easy to detangle with both fingers and a brush after shampooing. She praised its ability to make hair soft and flexible, even after a strong shampoo.
While the reviewer loved the product's effect, she noted that 100ml is a small amount, especially for those with curly hair who tend to use more product. She estimated it might last only three applications, which could be poor value compared to larger products at similar prices, despite its effectiveness.
For those concerned about the small quantity (100ml) or its lightweight texture, the reviewer recommends applying the leave-in before their usual combing cream, treating it like an oil. This method could help extend its use and potentially enhance the final styling result, especially for hair types that typically require more product.
