The 12 Best Shampoos and Conditioners for Fine Hair

Even though my hair has come a long way in the past few years, the combination of my naturally fine texture paired with an addiction to bleach had previously proved pretty disastrous in terms of my thick hair goals. For years, no matter how many sprays, mousses, supplements, or other gimmicks I tried, nothing seemed to budge my strands even a millimeter on the volume scale. To say I was frustrated would be the ultimate understatement.

I knew, of course, I had limited control over my natural texture (thanks mom and dad!), but over time, I realized the destiny of my fine hair also, in part, lay in the hands of numerous very controllable factors like diet, high-quality supplements, strategic hair products, regular salon appointments, and, by and large, the banishment of all heat styling tools (so sad). At the forefront of all this were my shampoo and conditioner.

What you do in the shower might not seem all that important when it comes to the bouncy (or not) end result, but trust me when I say certain shampoos and conditioners have legitimately transformed the look and feel of my hair from limp and thin to full and voluminous. So because I've tried more fine hair–geared shampoo and conditioning formulas than is probably healthy for one woman in a lifetime, I'm sharing all of the standouts with you from a few of my ride-or-die favorite retailers. Keep scrolling! Longer, stronger, thicker strands are just ahead.Â
