Which Products Will Give My Limp Hair More Body?
Quick Takeaways You Need to Know
- Use a lightweight volumising shampoo and apply conditioner only to the ends.
- Work a small amount of thickening mousse into damp roots before blow drying.
- Finish with a root lifting spray or texturising spray for instant lift.
- Avoid heavy oils and silicone rich serums that weigh hair down.
Fine, thin hair can often fall flat. Building lift at the roots plus enhancing your hair with overall body, movement, and texture can give the impression of thicker, fuller hair and make styling easier.
Using haircare products is a great way to give lacklustre locks life. Knowing what to use and how best to use it reduces your risk of a limp, weighed-down style.
Volumising shampoos and conditioners
It's important to use shampoos and conditioners that aren’t too heavy for your hair type and texture. Volumising products are lightweight and temporarily plump up individual strands for thicker-looking hair.
- MoroccanOil Extra Volume Shampoo and MoroccanOil Extra Volume Conditioner contain keratin to strengthen and repair damage. This duo is particularly good for fine or thin hair that's been coloured.
- Once a week, use a volumising mask such as Shu Uemura Muroto Volume Pure Lightness Treatment to maintain health and hydration whilst boosting body.
- Incorporate a clarifying shampoo into your routine, using it every few washes to reduce heavy product build-up.
Blow-dry sprays
Before blow-drying your hair, prep it with volumising styling products to enhance the effects and hold your look.
- evo Mister Fantastic Blowout Spray adds texture and fullness to your hair whilst protecting it from heat damage.
- If you prefer a sleeker, shinier finish, try Neuma NeuVolume Blowout Mist, which gives your hair bounce and volume without mattifying.
Body-building hair mousses
A mousse that's specifically formulated to add volume is important, as other mousses can be too heavy and weigh the hair down. Coat hair from roots to ends with a light mousse. We recommend:
- Wella SP Delicate Volume
- ghd Total Volume Foam, which offers heat protection
Thickening hair lotions
Apply hair lotions to the mid lengths of the hair to add thickness, body, and movement.
- Kevin.Murphy Full.Again Thickening Lotion uses fibres to thicken the hair shafts.
- evo Shape Vixen Body Giving Juice gives hair more shape and manageability.
Finishing products for fuller hair
- Christophe Robin Instant Volumising Mist is perfect for refreshing second- and third-day hair, enhancing body and movement whilst providing nourishment and moisture.
- Sachajuan Volume Powder has a mattifying effect that helps reduce oil build-up and gives your hair texture.
Whilst it's important to use products to enhance and maintain volume and body, it's also possible to overuse them. Introduce products into your haircare routine slowly, and only use the recommended amount so you don’t overdo it.
