Top 5 Thickening Products For Fine and Thin Hair
Thicker, fuller looking hair starts here!
I’m going to save you money and I’m going to save you time. These are the best hair thickening products out there!
If you want thicker and fuller hair, it has to happen at the start of your hairstyling routine. Don’t worry too much about the styling product, the thickening process happens in pre-styling.
The products below are all cosmetic and will give you instant results. Your hair will look plumper, fuller and bigger. If you’re looking for more, extreme and permanent measures, there are shampoos, treatments and surgeries. But for now, we’re focusing on products that provide instant gratification!
Nioxin Thickening Gel
Nioixin Thickening Gel
UK Retail: £10
USA Retail: $15
This is not your standard wet-look, flaky gel from your local chemist. Nioxin Thickening Gel is a great pre-styling treatment to instantly plump and smooth the hair. The result is weightless volume without stickiness or tacky residue.
KEY BENEFITS
- Instant definition and hold.
- Free from stiffness or stickiness.
HOW TO USE
Apply Nioxin Thickening Gel to damp or towel-dried hair and blow-dry for added volume.
TOP TIP
For those of you with thin, or thinning hair, experiment with different styles and directions of the hair to cover sparse areas on the scalp.
Label M Thickening Tonic
Label M Thickening Tonic
UK Retail: £12

This was one of the first ever thickening treatments I owned. For the price, it’s so impressive. Perfect for guys who are looking for an instant boost of density and volume to their hair, but without spending a fortune. Totally recommended. Good launch, Label M!

A cashmere texture spray that gives definition, volume as well as bringing a textured matt look to any hair type. Flat or even limp hair that is craving the ultimate volume and texture boost.
HOW TO USE
Work through – root to tip – through damp or towel-dried hair. Use a hairdryer to activate the product and build in volume.

Big, voluminous hair with just a few sprays.
I work it into towel-dried hair before blasting with a hairdryer (medium heat, fast speed) to build volume and definition. Great as a pre-styler to combine with your favourite clay.

- Volume.
- Texture.
- Softens hair.

Nioxin Diaboost
Nioixin Diaboost / Nioxin Diamax
UK Retail: £35
USA Retail: $50
This is one of my favourites from Nioxin. Gives hair an instant boost and coats it with a weightless wrapper (almost like bubble wrap) – making it appear thicker and fuller.
KEY BENEFITS
- Manageable, thicker, fuller-looking hair.
- Protects against breakage, allowing hair to grow longer.
- Diameter-boosting.
HOW TO USE
Apply evenly throughout the scalp. Massage gently at the roots and comb through. Do not rinse off. For the best results, use daily on wet or dry hair.
