These Products Trick People Into Thinking My Thin Hair Is Actually Super Thick

Listen. I don't have too many complaints about my hair. I've said it a couple of times, and I'll say it again: I'm pretty low-maintenance (and to be honest, pretty lazy) about it. I don't color my hair. I rarely style it, and when I do, I'm not the best at it. And I don't use too many hair products.

But if there's one thing that's super important to me in the hair department it's how thick my hair looks and feels. Unfortunately, I don't have the fullest strands, and most of the time, my hair can feel kind of flat and lifeless. I'm always dreaming of big, bouncy hair.

To give you an idea of what I'm dealing with, let me break it down for you. I might try to put my hair in big rollers or curl it, and for a while, it looks perfectly styled and full, but guaranteed, just a few hours later, my hair becomes flat and stick-straight again.

While I can't get the big hair that I want all the time, I do have a few tricks up my sleeve when it comes to pumping up the volume when I really need it. That's where hair-thickening products come in, and luckily, there are so many to choose from, including shampoos and conditioners, powders, sprays, serums, and more.

Now, if you're in the same boat when it comes to wanting full, thick, and voluminous hair, I've compiled a list for us. Take a look at some of my favorites below plus some other highly rated ones I've found.
