#1 Use Styling Foam to Boost Your Roots

Some stylists say that the best way to add volume with hair foam is by applying it in your hands. Just dispense your hand and dab your fingertips into the foam. Remember to work it gently through your roots and strands to create texture.

#2 Change Your Hair Part

Hairstylists believe that one of the easiest hairstyles to achieve for people with thin hair is a side part. They specifically recommend switching out your regular side part for a new one so that you can get additional height and fullness from your roots. Hair which has typically tended to lie flat will, in this case, hold the volume of all its body weight alone! When you're looking to create additional volume at the crown as well, we suggest you try out an angular part. You'll notice immediately how adding sharp angles throughout your side pieces helps raise your roots even more and makes them appear thicker, with more lasting volume.

#3 Add Volume With Dry Shampoo or Thickening Shampoo

Volumizing and thickening shampoos can be a great solution for both fine and thin hair, but just know that each will bring a slightly different result.

When trying to discover the ideal shampoo, it's important to know what you're looking for. Both volumizing and thickening shampoos provide different benefits, so before settling on a particular bottle, think about whether you'd prefer more volume or more thickness in your hair. 

If your desire is to add thickness but not additional volume, your best bet would be to seek out a thickening shampoo. On the other hand, visitors who want fuller locks will find that volumizing products offer exactly this! These voluminous formulas infuse hair with polymers, vitamins, and proteins that enhance individual strands instead of focusing on the scalp. Understanding these differences allows one to determine which product better meets their needs.

#4 Try Hair Extensions

If you're someone who likes to do their hair in a style that's bigger than life, then there aren't many tools more powerful than clip-in extensions. Hair extensions can easily add length and volume by using them on the sides or back of your head. They're also great for adding thickness without having to worry about installing weaves or braids. 

There are many different kinds of hair extensions, including clip-on, which attach right onto your natural hair by way of magnetic technology. If you want to create an extra thick appearance instantly and seamlessly with just one tool, try a few pieces of clip-on hair extensions clipped into the crown and roots of your hair for added volume and thickness.

#5 Wave your hair

If you have straight, stick-straight hair and find that it never quite looks as full or voluminous as you’d like, then one way to easily give your look more bounce and volume is by adding some soft curls or waves. 

While there are a lot of ways to put layers and volume into limp strands, the perfect solution for anyone with fine hair who desires volume without sacrificing definition or body is by giving your locks a quick curl with a curling iron or wand. If you don’t yet have either one of these tools in your tool kit, then learn how to achieve the same results using a straightener instead.

Your hair is an important aspect of your appearance, but thickness can grow thin over time for a variety of reasons. Fortunately, there are things you can do in the short-term to immediately add volume back to your hair - things like working with wigs for example! To make sure that you get the best of both worlds however and don’t have to choose between finding some instant volume or growing visibly thicker, healthier-looking hair over time, you may want to consider using products designed to encourage the growth of visible hair thickness while getting that immediate solution.
