Our Best Volumizing Shampoos for Fine Hair

Fact: We all want a healthy head of hair that is voluminous and full of body. The only problem is that not everyone is genetically blessed with thick hair. And if you have thin or fine hair, you'd know reaching those hair goals isn’t always easy. That’s where good hair care products come in, including shampoo.

The best volumizing shampoo for fine hair adds that covetable va -va -voom factor and sets the stage for the rest of your hairstyling routine. These shampoos will help pump up your hair, taking it to new heights, and make it appear as if it’s got more thickness than it actually does. They’ll also help wipe away any signs of a greasy scalp (a common woe for fine hair), remove product buildup and leave your hair feeling full without weighing it down.

But with so many options on the market to choose from, it can be difficult to wade through them all. Fortunately, we’re sharing five of our best shampoos for fine hair that add an instant boost of volume to limp strands.

1. L'Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Volume Shampoo

It's made with lotus flower, which delivers luminous shine and long-lasting volume and helps revive fine flat hair. The shampoo is also formulated to be used on color-treated hair, making it a top pick for those who frequently dye their tresses. 

To get the most of the shampoo, follow it up with the L’Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Volume Conditioner for an added boost of body and color protection. Just make sure to apply the conditioner to the mid-lengths and ends of your hair to avoid any weigh down at your roots.
