How to Make Your Hair Look Thicker With Dry Shampoo

Do you use dry shampoo? Where was this when I was a teenager? I love it. It’s great for in-between days, but it also adds volume. When you spray dry shampoo near your roots and massage it in, it creates separation between the strands. This lifts the hair off your scalp, yada-yada-yada, you’ve got volume. I even spray it in my hair before bed, and the next day, it’s given me a bit of lift. It’s also color-safe, yay. It’s got a ton of great reviews, which is another plus.

Here’s another version. How does it work? The powders or starches in dry shampoo soak up oils and grease on your scalp so your hair doesn’t look like it’s been stuck to your head all day. One of my issues is that my hair starts to droop as the day goes on. No worries. Pop this in your bag for a mid-day spritz, and you’re golden.

How to Make Your Hair Look Thicker With Volumizing Shampoo

I’ve mentioned Biotin many times. This shampoo is all about strengthening and thickening your hair. It’s packed with biotin—a vitamin that’s like spinach for your hair follicles—and collagen for extra strength. It’s really good for repairing damage. Our poor hair gets colored, combed, teased, heated, and curled, then sprayed with sticky stuff. No wonder it needs so many special products to stay looking healthy!

How to Make Your Hair Look Thicker With Texturizing Spray

One of the good things about getting older is that you can remember when these products first came on the scene. What did hairdressers do in the 80s? Oh yeah, perms! Texture spray puts fine particles on your hair strands, creating a slightly rougher surface. This gives your hair more “hold” and makes it easier to style and lift, especially for creating volume at the roots. This texture spray gives your hair that tousled, “just got back from the beach” vibe, even if the closest beach is hours away, ha!

How to Make Your Hair Look Thicker With Mousse

I’ve mentioned this WOW product a lot. I first saw it on TikTok, then my sister tried it and swears by it. Put it on wet hair at the roots and dry with a round brush. It has good reviews (if you don’t want to take my sister’s word for it), and folks say it also adds shine. I’d pair this with a dry shampoo throughout the day.

This mousse is bringing back the 80s in the best way possible—volume without the crunch! It’s so lightweight but gives your hair that “bigger is better” vibe. It’s perfect if you’re blow-drying and want that extra lift. Check out the fragrance – papaya and tangerine butter. Yum!! The ingredients include Aloe Vera, Rosemary, and Thyme – which means it won’t strip color.

How to Make Your Hair Look Thicker With Rollers

Don’t be afraid to go old school with rollers, Gurls! Put these in when your hair is slightly wet, then heat with your hair dryer. They have a ceramic-coated core that helps them get hot. Let them cool, then remove. It couldn’t be easier. The set includes three different-sized rollers—perfect for all hair lengths, including hair rollers for short hair.

Here’s another option by the same company. To get volume, just clamp the clips as close to the roots of your wet or damp hair. It should dry with the roots lifted. If you want to use them for curling, clamp the ends of the desired hair sections and roll them up. Let it sit for 10-20 minutes until your hair dries, then remove the clips. You can’t beat rollers for volume!

How to Make Your Hair Look Thicker

A scalp scrub might not sound glamorous, but it’s the secret to healthy hair growth. This one removes all the product buildup and gives your follicles a fresh start. I’ve read that scalp massages while using this boost blood flow and promote thicker hair. Just think of it as a mini spa day for your scalp!

I’m all about the back tease! This little tool is a total powerhouse for creating volume. Whether you’re teasing for a night out or just adding a little height to your crown, it’s so easy to use. It’s also great for adding texture if you’re styling an updo. Big hair, don’t care!

There you have it, Gurls—How to Make Your Hair Look Thicker Over 50, all wrapped up with a bow! Whether you’re dealing with thin hair, hair loss, or just want to amp up the volume, these products are here to save the day.
