1. ORIBE HAIR CARE Dry Texturizing Spray
This stuff is magic in a bottle. It’s not a dry shampoo, but a texturizing formula that soaks up oils that can weigh your hair down to help give you tons of volume. "Spray where you want volume" is what the instructions say, and that's all you have to do for a full-hair look.
2. OUAI HAIR CARE Volume Spray
Want to build up body without the weight? This lightweight formula lifts and volumizes while adding healthy shine. It’s made with hibiscus extract to soften and smooth, and panthenol to condition and protect. Simply spritz and comb through damp hair before styling.
3. SEXY HAIR Root Pump Volumizing Spray Mousse
All the benefits of a mousse in the convenience of a spray, this long-lasting product supports a plethora of hairstyles with its flexible, medium hold. Plus, it’s humidity-resistant (great for frizz-prone hair) and gives lift and fullness that lasts all day.
4. LIVING PROOF Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo
If there were such a thing as a holy trinity of dry shampoos, this bottle would be included. The paraben-free formula is safe for use on color-treated hair, and it helps absorb oils, sweat, and odor for your freshest, bounciest hair ever.
5. GARNIER FRUCTIS STYLE Mega Full Thickening Lotion
We love a good drugstore find, and this one delivers fullness without breaking the bank. Spritz from mid-shaft to ends of detangled, damp hair. Bonus: It performs as well on air-dried hair as it does on blow-dried hair.
6. R+CO Dallas Thickening Spray
Paraben- and sulfate-free, this hair thickening spray has aloe vera leaf extract to smooth and moisturize, plus an amino acid complex to help protect against damage from heat styling tools.
7. COLOR WOW Raise the Root Thicken and Lift Spray
The name says it all—this body-boosting spray gives your hair major lift and volume. Concentrate this product formulated with flexible, translucent polymers at your roots for long-lasting lift. Bonus: It also doesn't yellow or darken your color-treated hair.
8. AVEDA Invati Advanced™ Thickening Conditioner
There's no wondering why Glamour presented a beauty award to this thickening conditioner. More than half of the people surveyed by Aveda claimed that the product reduced hair loss, thanks to active ingredients like naturally derived amino acids that help strengthen strands.
9. BUMBLE AND BUMBLE Thickening Volume Shampoo
This popular hair thickening shampoo is an OG fave for a reason. It helps add volume, bounce, and moisture without weighing down hair. Plus, it’s free from parabens and phthalates.
10. ALTERNA HAIRCARE Caviar Anti-Aging Miracle Multiplying Volume Mist
Formulated with keratin, panthenol and biotin, this lightweight mist is stimulating to the scalp and nourishing to the hair shaft.
11. KLORANE Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk
Fine hair girls, rejoice! This award-winning dry shampoo has an ultra-fine mist for all the oil-absorbing power sans any powdery, white residue.
12. BRIOGEO HAIR CARE Blossom & Bloom™ Ginseng + Biotin Volumizing Shampoo
There's a reason ginseng and biotin are holy grails when it comes to hair care. Along with ginger, these ingredients assist with follicle support to help strengthen strands for less fallout and breakage. And because it’s free of harsh sulfates, this shampoo doesn't strip your hair while it cleanses.
13. JOSIE MARAN 100% Pure Argan Oil
OK, hear us out. Although this isn't an instant fix, this iconic multitasking oil can help strengthen your hair follicles over time to help with fallout. Rich in vitamin E and fatty acids, it can also help with breakage and lock in moisture. Use it sparingly for best results—a little goes a long way.
14. VERB Sea Texture Cream
This leave-in cream is like a trip to the beach minus the sand and sun. It provides just the right amount of texture and beachy hair feel.
15. VEGAMOUR GRO Hair Serum
From stress to increased DHT, there are many reasons for hair loss. This brand set out to aid hair growth while debunking hair myths. Its plant-based serum, for example, reduces fall out, promotes hair regrowth, and has over 2,000 positive reviews.
16. AIIR PROFESSIONAL Texture AIIR
For fuller hair, apply as a finishing spray to styled, dry hair. Kick it up a notch and blow-dry while spraying. You'll thank us later.
