Bumble and bumble Thickening Volume Conditioner

Editor's Take

Here’s a volumizing conditioner that understands the assignment: rice protein adds body, the silicone-free base keeps weight down, and rich-conditioner drag never takes over.

Four-pillar formula scores

• Performance: 7.8 / 10
• Innovative Ingredients: 6.5 / 10
• Clean Standards: 7.8 / 10
• Formula Sustainability: 8.8 / 10

The Verdict

The lightweight fatty-alcohol base and Hydrolyzed Rice Protein are well chosen for fuller-feeling hair without heavy residue. Behentrimonium Methosulfate handles detangling, while apple and amla extracts add useful conditioning support. Fragrance allergens may bother sensitive users, and Polyester-11 slightly dulls an otherwise strong sustainability profile. A credible pick for fine hair that needs body and manageable ends, not mask-level richness.
