Whether you simply don't feel like washing your hair (we feel you) or you're laying down and it's flattening your hair (feel you here, too), there's a way to mask the dullness and it's with a hair-volumizing product. Along with being gluten- and silicone-free, this shampoo is also vegan-friendly and cruelty-free. Hair is more volumized after one use, especially if you pair it with the matching conditioner. Plus, it smells amazing and makes showering a more enjoyable experience. So there’s no real thing as a ~universal~ conditioner—fine, straight hair has different needs than poofy, curly hair—but this formula comes pretty close, as it won’t weigh down thin hair or strip curly hair. The conditioner is also formulated with sugar-derived maltodextrin, which helps beef up fine hair strands even after you rinse. Just make sure to pair it with a leave-in conditioner if you have type 3-4 curly hair.

Prior to trying out the volumizing spray, my hair usually looks a little something like this if it's not in my signature ponytail: Since it is so gentle and natural, it’s completely safe to use on color-treated hair, even if you wash your hair every day (or a few times per week). It won’t strip the color and will actually work to enhance the hues and prolong the the length of the dye since it invisibly coats the hair shafts. It also adds moisture thanks to cocamide MEA, which is an ingredient comprised of the fatty acids that are naturally found in coconut oil. The barrel is slightly oval-shaped, which makes it easier to pull the hair away right at the root. It also has three heat settings as well as three speed settings. If you’re working to blow dry your hair after a shower, the highest heat and speed settings might be necessary to get the job done. It just might help you get that feathery face-framing look if you have the "Rachel" haircut. That said, if you’re trying to prolong your blowout a few days after washing your hair, the lower settings will add volume without the damage that typically comes along with hot tools.But if you’re good on the build-up front and your fine, thin hair just needs some help, Eaddy suggests starting with a volumizing shampoo and conditioner—which will give your hair an oomph before you style.

Invest in volume that lasts with this follicle-boosting serum. To use, start with towel-dried or damp hair and massage it all over the scalp. It can also be used during styling on dry hair as a way to really amp up the volume and protect the strands from heat. This paste may feel super decadent, but its effect on the hair is equal parts lightweight and strong. If you’re looking for volume, apply it at the roots, where it can be used before or after styling with heat tools. If texture is what you’re after, you can apply it to the rest of the hair to create a wavy or beachy look. You only have to use a dime-sized amount, but make sure that you’re applying it to completely dry hair for the best results. Futuristic foamy froth with fortifying Bamboo volumises fine, thin, limp hair without damage, dehydration or weighing hair down. If teasing brushes aren’t currently in your wheelhouse, get ready to meet your new favorite hair tool. One side of the Drybar Texas Tease Teasing Brush is super thin so that you can get the most precise part, and the other is covered in soft, frizz-reducing bristles. ColorWow's Xtra Large Bombshell Volumizer features a proprietary polymer complex that creates weightless body hair and bamboo extract that strengthens and promotes shine with use. Just a few pumps of this and hair will have volume for days.My curls are fine, thin, and easily weighed down, but this mousse helps them spring up and stay volumized after diffusing,” says Cosmopolitan deputy beauty director Chloe Metzger. That’s because this formula is made up of lightweight moisturizers (hi, aloe vera) and polymers so your hair gets the right amount of volume without the heavy ingredients. One of the best things about this product is that it produces a really streamlined spray, which makes it easy to target certain areas of concern. Unlike dry shampoos, it is completely translucent, and will even work to add-in shine as opposed to leaving an all-over matte finish like so many dry shampoos do. That said, it’s not a good option if you want to use it to target oily areas. For damp hair, pastes and serums are a better option as they are typically heat-activated by your blow dryer. When blow drying, use a round brush to create volume. According to New York City-based hairstylist Devin Toth, a hair-volumizing product is a product that lifts your roots up and away from your scalp. "Some are simply weightless, some give incredible hold and texture, and some coat and surround each individual strand of hair," he adds. This product is also completely humidity-proof, and was cited by celebrity stylist Chris Appleton on a tutorial Zoom hosted by the brand as one of the products that he used to create and hold Jennifer Lopez’s hair style during her iconic Super Bowl performance.
