Sad Hair?
Is your hair feeling a little limp these days? Give it a boost with our favorite hair-thickening products. These picks will add texture, lift and some much-needed volume.
Fiber Cream
The best thickening products will contain polymers that latch on to your hair, so it creates thicker strands. This affordable option is full of those fibers, plus it smells damn good.
Strength+Body Bamboo Fiber-full Thickening Fiber Cream, $7.99
Root Cover Up
A bunch of celebs use this product to camouflage their colored roots before a touch-up; however, you can also use it to fake thicker roots, which is especially helpful for thinning hair.
Color Wow Root Cover Up, $34.50
Powder
Perfect for on-the-go touch-ups, this brush-on volumizer will soak up any oils while creating lift and texture.
Protein Spray
This spray contains a protein that claims to reduce hair loss and help improve fullness. To get maximum impact, however, industry pros recommend purchasing the three-part system, which includes hair vitamins and a scalp treatment.
Hair Lifter
This drugstore product will, indeed, "plump" up those locks, but be careful: Use too much and it'll weigh your hair down.
Not Your Mother's Plump for Joy Thickening Hair Lifter, $5.99
Dust
A little dusting of this powder goes a long way. It'll add much-need grip to your hair and works especially well if you want your braids bigger or ponytails fuller.
Unite Expanda Dust, $20.89
Lotion
Lotion for your hair? Don't worry—it's not the flat, greasy aftermath you're envisioning. As this product adds texture, it's also treating your hair with nourishing proteins.
Redken 06 Thickening Lotion, $13.97
Gel
The brand itself offers great products for fine or thinning hair, but this gel in particular will help you hold the volume you created hours earlier.
Nioxin 3D Styling Thickening Gel, $15.30
Teaser Comb
Don't underestimate the powers of a good teaser. This tool was specially created to back-comb your way to fuller, bombshell hair.
Shampoo
From the mastermind behind the Kardashians' many hairstyles, a shampoo that cleanses while building volume.
Ouai Volume Shampoo, $28
Finish Spray
Think: dry shampoo but with even fuller results and no chalky residue. Actually, any product in this brand's Thickening line works wonders.
Cream
This cream basically adds a "micropattern of thickening dots" (a.k.a. texture) to your hair without weighing it it down too much. Bonus: It lasts way longer than most volumizing products.
