The key to adding hair volume to flat or thin hair is a hair routine that gets to the root of the problem. Studio One Salon knows good hair, and we’ve spent a long time searching for the perfect products and routines. Here is a breakdown of what we’ve found works.
Nutrafol
Nutrafol addresses thinning hair from the inside. The company takes a total-body wellness approach to address hair loss and hair that just isn’t at its full potential. Nutrafol is a daily supplement that uses patented Synergen ComplexⓇ technology, is drug-free, and is backed by 11 clinical studies to show that it is truly effective. You can see their full ingredient breakdown on the Nutrafol website.
The supplement is even tailored to different demographics because Nutrafol understands that hair thinning has different causes. Nutrafol’s range of products includes:
Women for women 18-44
Women’s Vegan for women 18-44 with a plant-based lifestyle
Women’s Balance for women 45+
Postpartum for the first year post-child-birth
Men for men 18+
Like most things worth doing, Nutrafol takes time to work. You’ll notice stronger, healthier hair in 1-3 months, more volume in 3-6 months, and visibly thicker, faster-growing hair in 6+ months.
Shampoo & Conditioner
Now that we’ve addressed the inside, let’s address the outside with hair volume products. The shampoo and conditioner you use matter. You need a product specifically designed to boost volume and lightweight enough to keep your hair from feeling weighed down.
Authentic Beauty Concept Amplify
Authentic Beauty Concept checks all the boxes. Sustainability is the heart of the brand— from the packaging to the product formulation and community outreach. Yet, there is no compromise when it comes to how effective their products are. The Authentic Beauty Concept Amplify shampoo and conditioner are formulated with green tea and lime to regenerate and add volume to flat hair. The volumizing shampoo and conditioner are free of mineral oil, parabens, SLS/SLES sulfates, and silicones.
O&M Fine Intellect
O&M is a beautiful luxury Australian brand that specializes in natural extracts that are native to Australia and safe for sensitive skin. Their Fine Intellect shampoo and conditioner use Keratin to strengthen fine hair and Native Australian Rainforest Extracts to add fullness and protect hair from oxidation and sun damage.
Styling Products
Styling is always so overlooked! It’s the difference between a bad hair day and a great one. Styling my hair always boosts my mood and elevates any outfit I’m wearing— even sweatpants. And contrary to popular belief, it doesn’t have to take an hour of your day as long as you have the right tools. Studio One Salon has volumizing products that actually work for every hair type.
Color Wow Xtra Large Bombshell Volumizer
If you’re only going to get one product, this is IT. Color Wow Xtra Large Bombshell Volumizer gives dramatic results immediately. It’s the fake it til you make it of hair products. This volumizer gives you Matilda Djerf volume while feeling like nothing is on your hair. Unlike other volumizing hair products, it adds lift to limp hair without affecting hair health. Studio One Salon loves using this product on damp hair before using a blow dryer for heat protection and the ultimate volume. This plus a round brush blowout will give you the ultimate 90s cool girl hair.
O&M Rootalicious
For the girl who loves a natural product and voluminous hair, O&M’s Rootalicious volumizing foam is a no-brainer. Rootalicious is made with Australian actives Quandong and Lilly Pilly to protect each hair strand, condition dry hair, and add weightless volume for bouncy hair. It’s lightweight enough that you can’t go overboard with it. Use as much as you’d like and watch your hair volume look better than it ever has.
Prevent Hair Loss
If you want to go the extra mile, there are a few easy things to add to your hair care routine to help stimulate hair growth and prevent hair loss. Be gentle with your hair and use silk. Silk is naturally non-absorbent, won’t draw moisture out of your hair, and allows your scalp to breathe. Blissy pillowcases and scrunchies are made of 100% mulberry silk and are a worthwhile investment in keeping your hair strong, healthy, and shiny.
Finally, our last way to help increase hair volume is to give yourself a scalp massage. You can use a scalp massager or just your hands. Apply medium pressure with your fingerpads and massage in circular motions to stimulate blood flow. You can do this while washing your hair in the shower, as part of your nighttime routine, or whenever you have a moment during the day.
Studio One Salon is all about helping you achieve the hair of your dreams. If you have thin hair or hair loss, or you’re searching for a way to create more volume, visit our salon! We can help you discover a hair routine that will give you the results you’re looking for and a community of people who are obsessed with hair care.
