L'Oréal Paris · Reviewed by Beauty Ambitions · Published 2026-08-21
Based on a review by Beauty Ambitions (accessed 2026-08-21).
Based on this review alone: skip it — does not provide volume for thin, flat hair as claimed, unless has a lovely fruity fragrance is your only priority.
The reviewer concludes that she does not recommend the L'Oréal Paris Collagen Lifter Volumizing Shampoo, especially for those with thin, flat hair seeking volume. She states that the shampoo consistently made her hair dry, frizzy, and tangled, and failed to deliver on its 72-hour volumizing claim, instead providing frizz.
The reviewer provides a detailed look at the L'Oréal Paris Collagen Lifter Volumizing Shampoo. She focuses on its claims to add volume to thin, flat hair and shares her experience after using the product multiple times, assessing its cleansing abilities, fragrance, and overall effect on hair texture, dryness, and frizz.
The L'Oréal Paris Collagen Lifter Volumizing Shampoo is a significant disappointment, as it utterly fails to deliver on its primary claim of providing volume for thin, flat hair. Despite multiple uses with and without oiling or a hair mask, the shampoo consistently left the reviewer's hair extremely dry, frizzy, and prone to flyaways, even affecting her husband's and daughter's hair negatively. The claimed 72-hour volume was non-existent, replaced instead by significant frizz and tangles, making hair difficult to comb. If you are specifically looking for volume for fine, flat hair, this product is not recommended and you should look for alternatives that might include styling tools like blow dryers or volumizing sprays.

The reviewer displays the bottle, which states the shampoo includes 'Collagen Peptides' and promises '72 hours volume' and 'visibly fuller hair' for 'thin, flat hair.'
specification_claimneutralt=2:19–2:27
The reviewer states the bottle contains 200 ml of product and costs 219 Indian Rupees, noting it was purchased at full price due to being newly launched.

The reviewer shows the shampoo, describing its consistency as white in color, neither too runny nor too thick, similar to other L'Oréal shampoos.
reviewer_claimpositivet=2:50–3:14
The reviewer claims the shampoo lathers very well, creates good foam, and effectively removes all oil and dirt from her long hair, even after heavy oiling, using only a coin-sized amount.
reviewer_claimpositivet=3:18–3:24
The reviewer describes the shampoo as having a 'very nice fruity fragrance' that she personally liked.
reviewer_claimnegativet=4:30–4:59
After the first wash without oil, mask, or conditioner, the shampoo made her hair 'quite dry' and caused 'a lot of flyaways' in the crown area, requiring serum for smoothness.
reviewer_claimnegativet=5:40–6:10
When used with a hair mask, her hair lengths felt smooth, but the crown area remained 'very dry, frizzy' with many flyaways, again requiring a significant amount of serum.
reviewer_claimnegativet=6:20–7:00
Even after thoroughly oiling her hair, the shampoo made her hair dry, frizzy, and caused 'too many flyaways,' particularly damaging the ends.
hands_on_demonegativet=7:15–7:59
Immediately after washing, while her hair is wet, the reviewer shows it is 'quite dry and frizzy' and 'very tangled,' demonstrating that a comb struggles to pass through.
visual_inspectionnegativet=8:26–8:49
After air-drying her hair, the reviewer shows her crown area, concluding that no volume is visible, and her hair remains 'straight and flat' as it normally is.
visual_inspectionnegativet=8:52–9:17
The reviewer demonstrates that her hair ends are 'super dry' even after oiling, and tangles are difficult to remove from the dry hair.
reviewer_claimnegativet=9:20–9:36
The reviewer states that her husband and daughter also used the shampoo, and it made their hair dry and frizzy, even her daughter's heavy, voluminous hair.
reviewer_claimnegativet=9:40–9:46
Directly contradicting the 72-hour volume claim, the reviewer states the shampoo 'gives frizz for sure' instead of volume.
expert_opinionneutralt=9:50–10:25
The reviewer opines that the high volume seen in other creators' short videos is likely due to hair layers or blow-drying, not the shampoo alone, suggesting that only volumizing sprays can provide such results without styling.
The reviewer explicitly states that the shampoo does not provide the promised 72 hours of volume to thin, flat hair. After multiple uses, including observations on her own hair and her daughter's, she found it consistently failed to add volume, instead causing significant frizz and flyaways, making hair appear flat as usual.
Across multiple uses, the reviewer experienced significant dryness and frizz with this shampoo. Even when used with a hair mask or after heavy oiling, her hair, including the crown area and ends, became dry, frizzy, and prone to flyaways. Her husband and daughter also experienced similar drying effects.
The reviewer demonstrated that after washing with this shampoo, her wet hair was heavily tangled and a comb struggled to pass through. She also noted that tangles persisted in her dry hair, making it unmanageable.
The reviewer describes the shampoo as having a 'very nice fruity fragrance' that she found personally appealing.
The reviewer purchased a 200 ml bottle of the shampoo for 219 Indian Rupees. She noted that it was a newly launched product, so no discounts were available at the time of her purchase.
