Shampoo for thin hair?!

12 replies

ShleepyMumma · 04/06/2022 21:26

Anyone got a recommendation for a good shampoo for thin/fine hair?
Mine gets greasy quite quickly, probs day after the wash. I think this is because it’s so fine. Just want something that cleans well, leaves it feeling light, doesn’t weight my hair down. Happy to pay for a premium brand. Just sick of hair looking limp, feeling meh, being greasy a day after washing.
TIA!

I like the Kerastase shampoo for oily scalp and dry ends. Its not cheap but a little goes a long way.

Pureplex - it's transformed my hair. I used to have to wash it every day or every other day, now I can go 3 days and still happily go out in public 😀. My hairdresser had mentioned Olaplex but then said another client had had good results with the cheaper Pureplex - when I looked at reviews on Boots, some said it was better. DH did an Amazon subscription but when he asked if I needed more I realised I wasn't using as much as expected as not having to wash it so often.

@DonttouchthatLarry

which one was it? I. Just looking at Superdrug website now as it sounds like just what I need.

does it weigh hair down so
it looks flat or give body? I have thin hair and not much of it.

Maui bamboo fibres shampoo.
It really gives my soft fine hair a bounce. I'm in a soft water area though, that's a factor that might make a difference?

Sounds like my hair - it has given mine more body. Think there's only 1 shampoo

Lucky you - we're in a hard water area and I always say my hair is much nicer on holiday in soft water areas!

Kerastase Genesis is the absolute best test I've found for my thin, fine hair. It is pricey but you use such a small amount each day that it goes a very long way. I had this recommended to me after an illness that meant I shed a lot of hair and what was left was not in great condition. Been using this for six months and have lots of new, healthy hair growth. Really pleased with it.

Thank you for that.
Excited to try it. Some of the reviews look great.

ive cut my hair to a shoulder Bob (three snips! As there’s so little) and with a bit of care/ new product I’m hoping I can get it to look like a lovely wavy messy on purpose Bob.

im using 8 second wonder at the moment and I do like it as doesn’t weigh my hair down.

I feel you, not only do I not have much hair but it's also fine. I can vouch for these:

My hair isn't as oily as it used be, since I started getting highlights and dying it, but when it was oilier I really loved: H&S Citrus (even though I didn't have dandruff it worked well), Bioderma (the bottle-green one, don't know what it's called) and there's was this other one which was may absolute favourite and I got it from the supermarket which was a white bottle and it was "citrus sth" but I don't remember the brand...

I also have thin hair and I love The Body Shop's strawberry shampoo. It gives volume and my hair stays clean much longer.
