1. Caffeine super-charged thickening serum
Hair Lush by Ultra Labs
Don’t judge it by the cover. While the packaging of Hair Lush looks a bit cheesy at first glance, what really matters is the stuff inside. There are hundreds of positive reviews that swear by this hair thickener. The Hair Lush serum is formulated with advanced leave-in caffeine extracts, which not only thickens your hair but also helps boost new hair growth.
2. Thickening and strengthening at the same time
Tea Tree Lemon Sage Thickening Shampoo
Washing your hair is a daily (or every other day) routine for most of us. So why not use a shampoo that can help your fine hair give more bouncy volume? The Tree Lemon Sage shampoo is enriched with thickening agents for adding body and making it look and feel much more full. The shampoo also contains panthenol which strengthens existing hair strands to help with unnecessary hair fallout.
3. Best thickening spray for visible volume
Thickening Hair Spray by Bumble and Bumble
A lot of thickening products focus on the majority of the hair shaft, but a few try to focus on your roots. This thickening hairspray by Bumble and Bumble is light-weight and gives your roots more volume, plus it lasts all day long. Just spray it on the area where you want to create volume and blow out with a roller brush. It will give you a bouncy, lustrous look that lasts the entire day.
4. No more visible scalp. This will instantly cover your thinning spots.
Hair Building Fibers by Toppik
The pioneer of hair building fibers. While Toppik is not a permanent solution for thicker hair, it is a great possibility for people who are desperately looking for ways to cover thinning spots on their scalps. Made of Keratin proteins (the same structure our hair is made of), the fibers intertwine with your existing hair when sprinkled around the thinning areas and boost the fullness for a completely natural look.

5. Science-backed hair thickening cream
Thickening Cream by Living Proof
Living Proof took a more scientific approach to formulate their version of hair thickener. The Full thickening cream includes tiny molecules (called PBAE), which turns into micro-pattern of thickening dots on hair strands. These all-day thickening dots are guaranteed to make your hair look and behave like full-textured and thick hair.
6. Voluminous hair secret of magazine cover girls
Oribe Maximista Thickening Hair Spray
It’s a little bit on the pricey side, but Oribe’s Maximista thickening hairspray has been voted a #1 product in beauty magazines for transforming fine and thin hair into a bouncy look. Want to maximize your volume? This brand promises absolute fullness with enduring lift and hold.
7. Hair fill-in powder to create instant fullness
Hair Fill-In Powder
This is a makeup powder – not for your face, but for your hair! This fill-in powder can be applied on your thinning hair area in order to fill in the gaps and create a more full look. The brush makes it very easy for you to apply the powder to specific spots without any staining issues. The powder lasts in the hairline until you wash it out and comes in different colors.
My hair has always been my pride and joy. I figured since it is pretty damn healthy, it could deal with some bleach damage. And I figured the master stylist who did all the color-corrections would know how much would be too much. I was wrong, and now I want to burst into tears every time I look at my hair or touch it. I just don’t know what to do. my hair has also NEVER been shorter than this and it breaks and falls out. What should i do to regrow hair?
Can’t live without my fill in powder. I use it daly to hide the frontal scalp exposure. You don’t need a lot. Just slightly dab the powder to the thinning area and blend to make it look natural.
