Thickening and volumizing products are often mixed up, but they work in different ways — and fine hair usually needs both.
Volumizing
Volume is about lift at the root and space between strands. Lightweight formulas that do not coat the hair, and styling that lifts the roots, create volume.
Thickening
Thickness is about how substantial each strand looks and feels. Thickening formulas coat and support the fibre so the whole head of hair looks denser.
A routine for fine, flat hair
- Cleanse with a sulfate-free thickening shampoo such as Decibel Thickening Shampoo.
- Use a rinse-out thickening treatment like Decibel Hypertrophy regularly.
- Condition only mid-lengths to ends with a lightweight formula such as Decibel Thickening Conditioner.
- Blow-dry with a round brush, lifting at the root.
What to avoid
- Heavy oils and butters on the roots.
- Conditioning the scalp.
- Air-drying flat against the head when you want lift.
