Fine

Fine hair refers to the diameter of the individual hair strands. Because each strand is smaller, fine hair can become weighed down more easily and may struggle to maintain volume, root lift and body. The right routine uses lightweight products that provide enough cleansing, conditioning and styling support without leaving excessive residue or heaviness.

Choose products based on your primary fine-hair concern:

• Flat roots: Root-lifting sprays, mousses and lightweight blow-dry products help create lift at the scalp.
• Limp or low-volume hair: Volumizing shampoos, lightweight conditioners and body-building stylers help improve fullness and movement.
• Fine hair that gets oily quickly: Lightweight cleansing products and dry shampoos can help keep hair feeling fresh without adding unnecessary weight.
• Fine, fragile hair: Lightweight strengthening products help support delicate strands without sacrificing volume.
• Colour-treated fine hair: Choose lightweight colour-safe shampoos, conditioners and treatments that support both volume and colour vibrancy.
• Fine hair lacking texture: Texture sprays, powders, mousses and lightweight finishing products can create grip, separation and body.
• Fine hair that falls flat after styling: Layer lightweight volumizing products rather than relying on one heavy styling product.

Fine Hair vs. Thinning Hair

Fine hair and thinning hair are not the same. Fine hair describes the thickness of each individual strand, while thinning hair generally refers to reduced hair density or fewer visible strands. You can have naturally fine hair with plenty of density, or thicker individual strands with reduced density.

If your main concern is the diameter and volume of fine strands, choose lightweight volumizing products. If your hair also appears less dense or thinner than it used to, explore our Thickening Hair Products for additional density and fullness options.

Volumizing vs. Thickening Hair Products

Volumizing products are generally designed to create lift, body and movement, making them especially useful for fine or flat hair. Thickening products focus more on creating the appearance and feel of fuller, more substantial hair. Fine hair can benefit from both, provided the formulas are lightweight enough for your individual hair type.

What products are best for fine hair?

Fine hair generally benefits from lightweight volumizing shampoos and conditioners combined with styling products such as mousses, root-lifting sprays, texture sprays and volumizing lotions. The goal is to create body and fullness without adding unnecessary weight.

What shampoo is best for fine hair?

Look for a lightweight volumizing shampoo that cleanses effectively while supporting body and movement. Kevin Murphy Angel.Wash is one professional option specifically designed for fine, fragile and colour-treated hair.

Should fine hair use conditioner?

Yes. Fine hair still benefits from conditioning. Choose a lightweight conditioner and concentrate it primarily through the mid-lengths and ends if your roots tend to become flat or oily quickly.

How do I add volume to fine hair?

Start with lightweight volumizing shampoo and conditioner, then apply a root-lifting spray, mousse or volumizing styling product before blow-drying. A lightweight texture spray or finishing product can add additional body and help maintain the finished style.

Are thickening products good for fine hair?

Yes. Fine hair can benefit from thickening products that create greater body, texture and the appearance of fuller strands. Choose formulas appropriate for fine hair so the additional product does not overwhelm or flatten the hair.

Why does my fine hair get oily so quickly?

Oil can become more noticeable on fine hair because there is less individual strand volume to absorb or disguise it. Heavy conditioners and styling products can also make fine hair appear flatter or oilier. Lightweight products and applying conditioner mainly through the mid-lengths and ends can help.

What styling products are best for fine hair?

Mousses, root-lifting sprays, volumizing lotions, texture sprays and lightweight powders are useful for creating volume and body in fine hair. Kevin Murphy Body.Builder Mousse is one option for flexible, weightless fullness and styling lift.
