Thickening Shampoos That Give Fine Hair Extra Lift

I swear my hair has thinned out over the past few months. I’m not sure if it’s due to stress, age or heat damage (I have a very close relationship with my curling iron), but my hair just doesn’t feel as dense as it used to. Thankfully as soon as I did some digging, I realized that there are a bunch of great thickening shampoos out there. From options that nourish the scalp and increase body to shampoos that lift hair at the root, I’m rounding up my favorite thickening shampoos, ahead.

For full, weightless volume and a shiny finish, look to this pH-balanced shampoo. It’s designed specifically for fine, flat and processed hair that needs an extra boost of volume at the roots.

Kérastase Densifique Bain Densité Deluxe Shampoo

If you have thin hair, then you’re probably using products like texturizer, mousse and hairspray to get a little extra volume. To remove product buildup and strengthen your hair at the same time, give this deep-cleansing shampoo from Kérastase a try. Formulated with hyaluronic acid and ceramides, it amps up volume and strengthens your hair.

Put down the flatiron and pick up this sulfate-free thickening shampoo instead. Designed specifically for hair prone to breakage, the shampoo fortifies thin and fragile hair. The drugstore product is safe for color-treated hair and is salt- and surfactant-free.
