Not everyone can be born with bouncy Cindy Crawford-esque locks, but we can certainly fake it thanks to the latest haircare technology. Whether your hair is naturally fine and flat, or you’re trying to keep your frizz under control, there’s a volumising product just waiting to assist you. From powders to supplements, we’ve rounded up the best volumising products for each hair type.

Volumising Powder
Similar to dry shampoo, volumising powders are applied at the roots and absorb excess oil while working to add grip, volume and a matte texture.

Volumising Mousse and Foam
Volumising mousses and foams are most suitable for medium to fine hair types, as the lightweight formulas don’t create any product build-up that would usually weigh the hair down. If frizz is also a problem, a mousse or foam can help control flyaways while giving your hair body and lift.

Volumising Spray
A spray would be the best option for curly hair, as it can often be the heaviest type of volumising product. It can help add shape, shine and define the overall feel of unruly hair.

Volumising Shampoo and Conditioner
If adding extra steps to your hair routine isn’t achievable, the addition of a volumising shampoo or conditioner often do a dang good job by themselves.

Volumising Treatments
One of the most obvious and effective ways to add volume to your hair is by physically growing more of it. If your hair is naturally fine or you’re battling with hair loss or thinning, these topical and ingestible treatments work as a great base to fill out your hair from the root.

What are your tricks for building body and volume in your hair?
I don’t have a problem with volume. Even though I have got thinning hair, because I have so much of it, its not a huge issue. My main problem is frizz.
Haven’t found one that works for my hair, still open to trying different brands though
My hair is very long and fine. Ive given up on reting to add volume.
Myself I prefer my hair to be flat with having a traditional Bob haircut, have a major problem with Frizz always worse when it is a humid or rainy day.
Yeah I got the muk one years ago. It has never done much.
I’ve used volumising sprays but they didn’t do anything
In the meantime got to try Grow Thicker Fuller Volumising Dry Shampoo Powder…and yes, it does make my hair go big. Kind of stiffer as well, but holds like mad. Also was gifted that Schwarzkopf powder too. Need to use when my roots go bit greasy.
Ha ha have ‘bigger’ things to worry about like actually growing some more hair!
Wow okay re the conditioner!! I do tend to hardly use any and focus it mainly on my tips and a little on my lengths, staying fully clear of my roots.
My eldest daughter has that – she is so lucky – and she has waves and curls to boot a la naturale.
It is and I’m adding it to my faves because I need it as a resource article.
We are flat together Geej! I like putting curls in my hair to add volume.
Yeh there are some great formulas out there these days. Not like the olden days when volumising shampoos used to make hair uncontrollable and floofy.
Lucky Okatko! Mine goes limp after 24 hours of washing as it’s just straight and fine too. Though I have lots of it, it doesn’t seem to help.
I’m using Aveda Invati at the moment from my RR purchase. I do love it!
I’d love to try out those shampoos to see which is the best. Might try the Sukin one first as it kind of appeals as I do like other Sukin stuff I’ve tried.
Lots of products for me to try!
I’ve just done a massive chop and suddenly I have volume!
My idea of ‘fixing’ my hair is tying it up with a nice hair tie, or using a hair claw to tie it back. I hate the feeling of those volumising sprays and powders.
I feel like Id prefer to fix the frizz than care about the volume.
I like that Schwarzkopf powder plus the Push Up Volume Conditioner – they work!
I know what you mean about the icky feel – but they LOOK amazing! I sometimes wear a long plait & sprinkle the powder on afterwards & my plait looks so much thicker!
Thank you for an interesting article girls.
So many products to try.
I’d be happy just to get rid of the frizz!
Keen for a volume spray.
Not for me, my scalp is so sensitive I would be constantly scratching
Yep, I’m frizzy and unruly but sometimes I like my old lioness mane.
I’ve marked 2 posts by kendra mike as SPAM!
i wonder if regaine actually works on thin hair
Does anyone knows what is the best shampoo for very curly hair?
Kevin Murphy has some great products to add volume. Unfortunately not listed on BH.
I’ve got lots of hair.
Hello everyone, my name is Dawn from California. I am here to share this great testimony for a great work Dr Marabul have done for my family. I’m so happy that my broken Marriage has been restored. “We recently made up, even though it was difficult. It’s been more than three month now, everything change for the better the moment i came across Dr Marabul. My husband has began to treat me better more than before. The nightmare that had lasted for almost 2 years before we broke up is finally over. It’s like we fall in love all over again! We’ve both put the past behind us, and are trying to move forward – and for the first time in a long time, the future looks a lot brighter. I can’t express in words how grateful I am ever since Dr Marabul bring my home back together again! It’s like we’ve finally rediscovered those things about each other that made us fall in love in the first place. All of the worrying and stress has simply vanished. Thank you Dr Marabul for saving my broken Marriage and brought my husband back to me!”. Me and my husband are living together happily again.. Dr Marabul is really a gifted man and i will not stop publishing him because he is a wonderful man… If you have any problem and you are looking for a real and genuine spell caster to solve all your problems for you.
