The Best Volumising Hair Products For Better Bounce
Volumising Dry Shampoo
£9.20 (was £11.50) | Klorane
Klorane is home to some of the best dry shampoos, and this body-building one is our favourite. Ideal for sensitive heads, it has ultra-fine oat-milk particles that gently soak up dirt and grime, while softening and soothing the scalp. Better still, it works as a brilliant texturiser, adding extra shape and definition to limp strands – not to mention a bit of grit too. We love to mist this on before going to sleep – turning over throughout the night will help distribute the product evenly for fuller results come morning.

Thickening Tonic
£28 | Aveda
This is one of our staple products for good reason. If you want to beef up your strands, use it every time you wash your hair, misting it on while it’s still damp, then use a dryer to roughly blast your hair. You’ll find it gives a little ruffle and texture, while smoothing frizz and boosting density immediately – all without any tell-tale stickiness or grease. Added fruit oils keep shine high and hair feeling nicely conditioned.

Xtra Large Bombshell Volumizer
£24 | Colour Wow
A favourite on the SheerLuxe Community, this low-maintenance foam is easy to scrunch into clean, damp hair, before styling as normal. Two to three pumps is enough – no matter your hair type – for full, non-sticky volume that feels weightless throughout. We love that the bounce stays intact for days too – even after sleeping – as does lift and a little bit of texture.

Cool Girl Superlift Volumising Spray
£26 | Hair By Sam McKnight
For big hair that looks modern and fresh, seek out this spray. We recommend spraying it in liberally, directly onto the roots – it’s not sticky so you can get away with a good amount. Use a dryer to then evenly distribute the formula throughout your hair. When you combine it with tongs or rollers for styling, you get even better volume and a modern bounce that’s hard to beat.

The Self Grip Rollers
£12 | Hershesons
Speaking of rollers, these are some of the best we’ve tried in a long time. Traditional Velcro, they feel old-school but are anything but. Snag free, they are simple to use and very much a ‘roll and go’ situation. Put them in, blast with a dryer, and leave for a few minutes before unravelling them. Expect big, bouncy curls that last. There are six inside, but you may feel you need more for a whole head, so try to intersperse them for overall results.

My Nanna’s Mousse
£22 | Larry King Hair
Gone are the days of crispy, heavy mousses. With a soft texture, Larry King’s Nanna’s Mousse absorbs fast and offers a thickening, plumping effect that is unrivalled. It adds shine – even for blondes – while delivering volume that’s not sticky or heavy, just full with a fluffed-up feel. Pump the formula out once into your hand, then massage it into wet hair. We recommend using a wide-tooth comb to take it through your hair and deposit it fully. Blast it with a dryer using a rounded brush, tipping your head forward as you go to enhance the lift. Use it regularly and you’ll enjoy a long-term boost to elasticity and softness, meaning less breakage over time.

Body Building Shampoo & Conditioner
£48 (was £54) | Philip Kingsley
There’s only so much weight a shampoo and conditioner can lift, but this duo from Philip Kingsley stands out. Our beauty director swears by it for giving her naturally fine hair a fuller feel and look. It plumps the hair shaft from the inside out, thanks to keratin and proteins that keep hair strong and supple. Even if you don’t blow-dry your hair after washing with these two products, you’ll see better volume and bounce that lasts. The conditioner is a real standout – with a serum-like consistency, it promises better condition, without coating your hair in heavyweight ingredients.

Full Thickening Blow-Dry Cream
£27 | Living Proof
This doesn’t just add volume and bounce to your hair. It strengthens and thickens it too with nourishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin. The brand’s clever Time-Released Styling Technology has a thickening molecule inside so, when you apply this, it helps to swell your hair’s cuticle. Using your fingers, rake it through damp hair and blast with your dryer. The product builds body as the hair dries, without any of the thickness, heaviness or crunchiness associated with thickening creams of old. If you’re lucky enough to have natural curls or waves, this will make them look their best.

Superfine Hairspray
£41 | Oribe
Not drying or crunchy – like some hairsprays – this, as the name suggests, is very fine in texture and uses wheat proteins to give hair extra bulk. Hairstylists swear by it to keep heat-styled waves bouncy and intact without any crunchy, sticky feel. It’s brilliant for smoothing flyaways too and adding a bit of extra shine to hair. Buildable, start with a light misting and see how you go – a little goes a long way on all hair types and lengths.

Texturising Spray
£19.55 (was £23) | Kerasilk
More of a ‘refresher’ than a styler, this is great when you want to revive day-old hair, or quickly give life to heat-styled looks. It adds just the right amount of non-tacky texture, while helping any look you do create go the distance. It adds a little shine too – even to blonde hair – while giving decent hold that doesn’t leave strands feeling brittle.
