Our Best Volumizing Shampoos and Conditioners

Shu Uemura Art of Hair Muroto Volume Shampoo and Conditioner

The best volumizing hair products for fine hair typically start in the shower—namely, with a good shampoo and conditioner system. The Muroto Volume Shampoo and Conditioner gently cleanse hair and rebalance its natural oils for a supple, weightless finish with lots of bounce. As an added bonus, the Muroto Volume collection boasts a unique, airy, and aquatic scent.

Matrix High Amplify Shampoo and Conditioner

With a name like High Amplify, you can expect serious volumizing benefits from this duo. The lightweight, silicone-free shampoo thoroughly cleanses to help boost the structure of fine, limp hair, while the corresponding conditioner helps build body, add shine, and remove tangles and static.

Biolage Professional Volume Bloom Shampoo and Conditioner

Let your hair’s volume bloom with the appropriately named Volume Bloom Shampoo and Conditioner from Biolage Professional. The shampoo gently cleanses hair with minimal stripping as it adds lightweight volume. Be sure to follow it up with the matching conditioner to ensure extra manageability, volume, and shine.

Pureology Pure Volume Shampoo and Conditioner Duo

Clarify and volumize your hair in one fell swoop with this shampoo and conditioner line from Pureology. When used together, the Pure Volume duo removes impurities and helps scale your strands up, adding lift and movement from root to tip.

Kérastase Densifique Bain Densité Shampoo and Conditioner

When you have fine hair, it can be a challenge to maintain your hairstyle for more than just a few hours. Fortunately, you can help thin, flat hair appear thicker and more plentiful by prepping it with Kérastase Densifique. The shampoo and conditioner, which contain hydrating hyaluronic acid and hair-filling Intra-Cylane,® help texturize and strengthen hair while increasing its density so styles hold better.

Redken Volume Injection Duo

Redken's Volume Injection Shampoo features Redken's Bodifying Complex to help add thickness to the hair with continued use. And, unlike thick, creamy conditioners that tend to weigh hair down with oil, the one from this range leaves hair feeling light and refreshed with extra movement. Look to this pair if you have fine, overprocessed hair or flat hair that’s prone to becoming greasy.

L’Oréal Professionnel Volumetry Shampoo

Defy gravity with the Volumetry Shampoo from L’Oréal Professionnel. It contains L’Oréal’s patented Intra-Cylane, a filling action molecule that gives the perception of thicker hair. Plus, the formula clarifies the root area, helping to remove residue that can gather and contribute to a weighed-down look.

Our Best Volumizing Mousses

Redken Stay High Mousse for High Hold Volume

Back by popular demand, Redken’s Stay High Mousse provides maximum hold with textured volume, body, and fullness for up to 24 hours. Featuring an innovative gel-to-mousse formula, the luxurious mousse melts into hair to thicken and lift it for voluminous, full-bodied styles with firm hold.

Redken Full Volume Mousse

If the ends of your hair don’t retain volume well, scoop up the polymer-infused Redken Full Volume Mousse. The airy, medium-control mousse adds maximum volume to the hair lengths and ends for uniform fullness from top to bottom.

Shu Uemura Art of Hair Awa Volume Hair Mousse

This mousse’s name is inspired by its ability to create maximum volume with a soft finish and smooth touch—“awa” means bubble in Japanese. When using the Awa Volume Hair Mousse, you’ll also benefit from a flexible, medium hold and long-lasting style control.

L'Oréal Professionnel Tecni.Art Volume Envy Hair Mousse

This body-enhancing mousse does more than just volumize your hair—its UV filter also helps protect your locks against sun damage. If that wasn’t compelling enough, the formula is perfect for styles that require wearable yet controlled lift, such as blowouts and high-maintenance updos.

Biolage Professional Hydra Foaming Styler Mousse

If you’re looking for the best hair volume products for damage, consider the Hydra Foaming Styler Mousse from Biolage Professional. Besides adding volume and movement to strands, the conditioning formula functions as a strengthening hair treatment and split-end solution.

Our Best Volumizing Sprays, Leave-Ins, and Masks

Redken Root Lifter Volumizing Spray

Say farewell to flat roots with Redken’s Root Lifter Volumizing Spray in your styling arsenal. The best-selling spritz, which contains wheat protein and vitamin E, lifts hair up from the scalp, provides all-over volume, and controls frizz and flyaways.

Redken Big Blowout Heat Protecting Jelly

Get more from your heat protectant with Redken’s Big Blowout Heat Protecting Jelly. It melts into hair to provide a voluminous bombshell blowout, regardless of hair type or texture. Use it on its own or pair it with the brand’s Quick Blowout to help significantly reduce your drying time.

Biolage Professional Volume Bloom Full Lift Volumizing Spray

The best volumizing hair products for fine hair are ones that help visually expand the fiber of the hair, like Biolage Professional’s Volume Bloom Full Lift Volumizing Spray. It’s inspired by nature's fluffy cotton flower and works to plump up fine hair with lasting, bouncy volume.

L’Oréal Professionnel Volumetry Root Volumizing Spray

Oily roots can make hair appear limp and weighed down—a concern that may be even more prominent if you have fine or thin hair. Help put an end to limp locks using L’Oréal Professionnel’s Volumetry Anti-Gravity Root Spray. The mist, which is infused with salicylic acid, cleans and purifies the scalp and helps prevent oil buildup so locks appear fuller for longer.

Matrix High Amplify Proforma Texturizing Spray

After spending so much time perfecting a high-volume look, you’ll want a hairspray that’s strong enough to hold it in place. That’s where the High Amplify Proforma Texturizing Spray comes in. This ultra-fast-drying hairspray locks in hairstyles and adds intense shine to hair while giving it 24 hours of anti-humidity protection.

Kérastase V.I.P. Volume in Powder Texturizing Spray

When searching for the best hair products for volume, you’ll notice they often come in the form of texturizing sprays. These types of products add grip to the hair so that individual strands stand apart rather than clump together, creating the appearance of more volume. Among our favorite texturizing sprays is the Kérastase V.I.P. Volume in Powder Texturizing Spray, which provides instant volume without any residue.

Pureology Style + Protect Instant Levitation Mist

Another texturizing option to consider is Pureology’s Style + Protect Instant Levitation Mist. The menthol-infused formula enhances texture, provides up to 24 hours of weightless volume, protects against heat damage, and safeguards salon color. It’s versatile, too: You can use it as a wet-to-dry styler or to refresh dry, flat curls.

Shu Uemura Art of Hair Muroto Volume Hair Mask

When in need, turn to a hair mask for extra volumizing help. In as little as five minutes, Shu Uemura Art Of Hair’s Muroto Volume Hair Mask fortifies thin hair fibers, protects against damage, and helps hair maintain bounce and movement. Best of all, it’s safe to use on color-treated hair.
