What to Look for in Hair Products for Thinning Hair
When shopping for the best products for thinning hair, you’ll want to look for formulas that prioritize your unique needs.
Here’s what matters when choosing products:
- Sulfate-free formulas. Sulfate-free hair products offer gentle cleansing without stripping natural oils.
- Volumizing ingredients. Ingredients like biotin, keratin, or panthenol help plump strands.
- Gentle stimulating ingredients. Caffeine, peppermint oil, and niacin can promote scalp health.
- Lightweight formulas. Avoid heavy silicones that can weigh hair down. Silicones can even block follicles, hindering future hair growth.
- Formulas free from parabens and phthalates. These ingredients are linked to hormone disruption and scalp irritation. That can trigger the root cause of your thinning hair.
- Alcohol-free formulas. Alcohol-heavy mousses, gels, or sprays can dry out the hair shaft. That leads to breakage and can make hair look dull and lifeless.
- Products labeled as non-comedogenic. These gentle products won’t clog your follicles or disrupt future hair growth.
We have tons of recommendations for products that check all of these boxes!
Our Top Picks: Best Shampoo and Conditioner for Thinning Hair
The best shampoo for thinning hair is light, gentle, and free from sulfates, parabens, and phthalates. We have two incredible options to consider below.
Lauren Ashtyn Strength Shampoo & Conditioner
Gentle enough for everyday use, this powerhouse duo is designed to cleanse and nourish without buildup. It enhances the appearance of fullness while fortifying weak strands from root to tip. That’s what makes it one of the best shampoos and conditioners for thinning hair.
Moroccanoil Extra Volume Shampoo & Conditioner
Enriched with argan oil and revitalizing nutrients, this set gives fine hair a body-boosting lift. At the same time, it infuses thinning hair with moisture and shine. If brittle hair and breakage are your issues, these products are your solution!
The Best Dry Shampoo for Thin Hair
Many standard dry shampoos are formulated with heavy starches or powders. For example, you will see ingredients like aluminum starch. While it can absorb oil, it also adds buildup at the scalp and on fine strands. Not only does this weigh down thin hair, but it can also irritate the scalp and require more frequent washing.
In contrast, Moroccanoil® Dry Shampoo is perfect for thin second-day hair! It works by absorbing excess oil without leaving behind starchy, powdery residue. That makes it ideal for refreshing thin hair without flattening it. Basically, this product is a must-have and one of the best dry shampoos for thin hair.
Strengthen & Boost with Hair Serum for Thin Hair and More
We have two picks for extra products to boost your thin hair routine:
- Lauren Ashtyn Argan Oil Serum. This ultra-light hair serum for thin hair smooths frizz and adds a glossy finish without weighing strands down. Apply to damp ends or use it sparingly to polish styled hair.
- Moroccanoil Treatment. Especially formulated for fine hair, this cult favorite adds softness, detangles, and enhances manageability.
You can also consider trying a hair mask, especially formulated for light or brittle hair. Thin or fine hair is often more fragile and prone to breakage, dryness, and environmental stress. A hair mask is a deep-conditioning treatment designed to nourish, hydrate, and repair your hair.
Masks usually work harder than a standard conditioner. Read up about some of our favorite options on our blog.
How to Make Thin Hair Look Thicker: Beyond Shampoo
There are a few other products you can try to boost the appearance of your thin or thinning hair. For example, lightweight styling products like sprays or mousses can help lift at the root and build body throughout. Don’t forget our tips for choosing lightweight formulas when selecting a root-lifting product!
You can also try a blow-drying technique designed to add volume to your hair. For example, use a round brush to lift your roots while blow-drying. Also, always dry your hair upside-down for a fuller finish!
If you want thicker hair without adding to your routine, you can’t go wrong with a hair topper. The Lauren Ashtyn Collection’s 100% Remy human hair toppers and clip-in extensions instantly add natural-looking volume. Plus, all of the products we recommend for natural hair can be used on our toppers, too!
