Whether you’re dealing with age-related hair thinning or naturally fine strands (or both!), these tips will help you achieve fuller-looking, more voluminous locks.

Understanding Thin Hair

Before diving into solutions, let’s address why some of us have fine or thin hair:

Genetics – Your DNA largely determines your hair type. If you have a parent with thin hair, you’re much more likely to have thin hair yourself.

Aging – Nearly everyone experiences some hair loss with age. Plus, hair follicles can shrink with age, leading to finer hair.

Hormonal changes – Pregnancy, menopause, and thyroid issues can affect hair thickness.

Nutritional deficiencies – Lack of certain vitamins and minerals can impact hair health.

Stress – High stress levels can lead to temporary thinning.

Thin hair presents unique styling challenges, like:

  • Lack of body and bounce
  • Difficulty holding styles
  • Appearing flat, especially at the roots
  • Becoming greasy more quickly

But don’t despair! You can transform the appearance of thin or fine hair with the proper techniques and products.

2. Skip the Towel

When drying freshly washed hair, a regular cotton terry towel can rough up the cuticle and cause breakage to fragile, wet hair. Instead, gently wrap hair in an old T-shirt or a bamboo hair wrap designed to absorb moisture without damaging it.

3. Choose a Thickening Serum

After you’ve washed your hair, apply a lightweight leave-in product like Vivisical™ Hair Thickening Serum. Vivisical™ Hair Thickening Serum coats each strand to reduce frizz, leading to thicker, fuller-looking hair^^. Whether you air dry or blow dry your hair, this is a great addition to your routine.

^^Use in conjunction with Vivisical™ Thickening Shampoo and Strengthening Conditioner

Vivisical™ has been researched, and in just one of the many studies, the people who took this supplement had more hair after taking it three months, and less hair shedding.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get more volume in my thin, fine hair?

To add volume to thin, fine hair, start with a volumizing shampoo and conditioner. Use styling products like mousse or root-lifting spray on damp hair, then blow-dry hair upside down for maximum lift. Finish with a texturizing spray or dry shampoo to add body and grip to your style.

How can I make my thin hair look thicker?

To make thin hair appear thicker, opt for a cut with long layers that create movement without losing much fullness. Use thickening products that coat the hair shaft, and consider strategic coloring techniques like highlights and lowlights to add depth and dimension. Styling hair with textures such as waves or curls can also make hair look thicker than sleek, straight styles.

How do I get more volume in my thin, fine hair?

To combat flat hair on top, apply a volumizing root spray to damp roots before blow-drying. Use the “twist and clip” method: twist sections of damp hair, clip them to your head, and let them dry for added lift. Additionally, try changing your part or using a zigzag part to create instant volume at the crown.
