I’ve been known to be a bit of a drama queen, but when I say that something has changed my life, I mean it. Case in point: TiVo. My husband. Uggs. Trader Joe’s. A merino wool sweater/wrap thingy that looks really chic but feels like I’m wearing an Snuggie. And, this Kiehl’s Rice & Wheat Volumizing Shampoo:
Let’s just look at it for a moment. So pretty.
I know I speak for many of you when I say that finding volumizing products that actually work is nothing short of a miracle. Although I recently fell in love with Living Proof Full, I hadn’t yet found a shampoo that plumped AND smoothed my strands without weighing them down—no small feat I realize, but really? With all of the beauty products on the market, I have to search for a good SHAMPOO? I shudder to think how many I’ve tried only once before relegating to the guest bathroom. But after three consecutive good hair days (read: full, thick, manageable) of using this golden-hued elixir, I knew I had something. The secret ingredients: HONEY for hydrating, and WHEAT & RICE PROTEINS for body. And the scent! Fresh roses. There’s also a conditioner, which pretty much means I’m calling off the dogs.

Hello lovelies! I'm Elizabeth Dehn, a beauty writer + lifestyle editor who's equally fanatical about lip gloss as juice cleansing. I live in Minneapolis with Mr. Bets and our white lab, Molly Thomas . . . 
adding it to my birthday list!
You should try It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-in Spray. I feel like I have someone else’s silky, shiny, smooth, lustrous hair on my head. It really is miraculous!

I got mine at Regis Salon. LOVE IT.
have not tried, but sounds like a good shampoo!
Ooh.. I want to try this one for sure!
Yay!!! Hallelujah! I need to pick some up…. now.
Where can you buy it? I want to try!
Julie – Kiehl’s is sold in the Twin Cities at Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and Ampersand!
VOLUME?! Sign me up! Thanks for the tip, Bets!
Thanks so much for talking about it. I haven’t found a shampoo that would really help with volume so I think I will try this one. If you say it has changed your life I believe you and I hope it will change mine as well.
i went out and got these after i read your review. and i love them!! smell so good and leave my hair feeling great – even in it’s over processed state. thanks for the tip.
Karen, I’m so glad you like! Thanks for letting me know!
OK… it took me a while to go out and buy, but OMG it is AMAZING! I used it this morning and my hair had volume, was super soft and shiny and most of all was completely managable. Totally agree that it is a life changer. My fine hair thanks you!
Yay! I know you already have gorgeous hair, Stacey, so for this to improve upon it is fab.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! I also bought the Conditioner and Super Thick Volumizer. Volume and softness. Thanks for the recommendation!
Steph, I know, right? I need to re-stock my own supply!

I just want you to know that I recently bought this shampoo/conditioner for myself and it changed my life, too! My hair is fuller — and softer — than ever. Thank you, thank you, thank you! (And my hair thanks you, too. :D)
Yay! That makes my day :) Thanks for letting me know, Annie!

Ordered my Kiehls Rice and wheat and I cant wait to receive it after all of these reviews!! Question – is this a safe shampoo for my color treated hair?
@bernadette: good question! I would say proceed with caution. Colored hair does best with sulfate-free products that don’t strip the hair. Also, volumizing products tend to be deeper cleansing, which can be hard on colored hair. I would try Wen or Sojourn!

I have short, color processed hair and can’t go a day without washing it because it is sticking up all over the place when I get up in the morning. For you, I would recommend the Shielo Volume Shampoo. Its EXCELLENT at protecting the colored hair, and it has worked great to keep the volume in my hair without adding any build up.
