Hair thickening product recommendations

Can I ask you what you’ve used and actually works to make your hair look and feel thicker / voluminous?

Ive used the colour wow spray and mousse and that’s quite good but very heavy on my hair and makes it greasy quickly.

Anything you’ve tried and would recommend?

John Freida pro-filler isn't bad but you need to alternate it with something else otherwise it builds up and makes your hair flat and dull. Boots often have it on 3 for two so you can get the shampoo, conditioner and either the leave in serum or the spray (I've tried both and there isn't much difference between them).

Oh thanks for the tip. So every few washes wash with a clarifying shampoo to remove build up? I tend to use Head and Shoulders for that.

What really helped my thinning hair was how is styled it. I have lost a lot from peri and stress.

I bought Dyson Air Wrap and its certainly kinder on my hair and gives me more volume.

Yes, whatever clarifying shampoo suits your hair best.

This stuff gives proper volume but it’s not for the faint of heart. It’s very easy to end up with a full on 1980s dragged through a hedge backwards during a wind storm look
