The 18 Best Volumizing Hair Products of 2024
While we all wish we could have thick and luscious locks, some of us have finer hair types that often get weighed down by denser and ultra-hydrating formulas. These hair types crave volume and smoothness, and product formulas packed with lightweight shine-enhancers and body-producing ingredients can be the difference between all-day volume and hair that falls flat by midday.
Celebrity hairstylist Jennifer Yepez recommends trial and error to find the best products for you, and with 18 to choose from on our list, you’ll have no problem finding one that makes you fall in love with your hair.
To curate a top assortment of volumizing hair products, we tirelessly researched and tested top formulas across the luxury and drugstore markets by considering qualities like product type, key ingredients, and size availability. Along with Yepez's expert insight, you'll understand how various formulations can help or hinder your quest for added volume and bounce to your hairstyles.
Volumizing hair products add bounce and body to the hair. This results in an airy and weightless quality to styled locks. Thickening formulas, however, work by increasing density and strength, resulting in things like overall hair growth or damage repair to thin hair strands.
Best Shampoo
Maintaining volume in your hair starts in the shower. The picks on this list, like the Davines Volu Shampoo, add bounce to fine and lackluster hair without weight or grit. This lightly fragranced formula in particular uses Caprauna turnip extract to enhance shine, thanks to the root vegetable’s phosphorus, iron, calcium, and vitamins A, B, and C. Plus, the plant-based surfactants give this shampoo a nice lather, making it easy to massage into the scalp.
If you’re experiencing hair loss and general thinning, Virtue’s Full Shampoo’s luxurious formula contains Keratin 60ku, which helps repair damage, and phospholipids, which fight static and frizz. We love this product’s ability to cleanse the scalp without stripping it of essential oils, lifting the roots, and giving hair the bounce you crave.
For color-safe options, we recommend the Pureology Pure Volume Shampoo (which is also vegan) and the L’Oréal Paris EverPure Volume Shampoo.

Best Spray
The best sprays give you ample body and movement to any hairstyle without creating a crunchy film on your strands, and the Roz Root Lifting Spray does just that. A botanical blend of mushroom root extract, rice water, and radish root enhances overall scalp health, increases strand strength, and nourishes roots, leaving behind a lasting style and volume across all hair types.
For a spray that doubles as a heat protectant, the Joico Texturizing Finisher should be your go-to. Not only will it add texture to fine to medium hair types, but it’s also quick to dry with no powdery residue. Rice extract creates lift, and moringa seed oil minimizes the crunchy feel other finishing sprays tend to leave behind, revitalizing loose hairstyles for results that last until the next wash.
For 40% more lift and a summery scent of lemon, bergamot, lily, cedarwood, and white musk, reach for the Bumble and Bumble Thickening Dryspun Volume Texture Spray. For color- and keratin-safe ingredients like nourishing mango, aloe extracts, and Oribe’s Signature Complex, the Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray is your best bet.
This is more than just a finishing spray—it's a heat protectant up to 450°F and texturizer for fine to medium hair types, too. Quick to dry with no powdery residue, it vitalizes loose hairstyles for results that last until the next wash. Rice extract creates lift, and moringa seed oil minimizes the crunchy feel other finishing sprays tend to leave behind.

The Bumble and Bumble Thickening Dryspun Volume Texture Spray provides an all-day, voluminous hold to freshly styled hair. A blend of zeolite and silk powder give 40% more lift, wheat protein nourishes the hair, and PVP and VP/VA copolymer provide extra hold that never creates a plastered look. It has a summery scent of lemon, bergamot, lily, cedarwood, and white musk.
