We talk about it, we think about it, and we experiment endlessly to achieve it.

The truth is, it doesn’t matter whether your hair is long or short, thick or fine—the desire for more volume is a constant part of the conversation. And it’s not just about following fashion trends either, or that bigger is better. We are naturally inclined to want to turn up the volume because just as naturally plump skin and rosy cheeks symbolize vitality and youth, a full, healthy head of hair represents the same. But what actually determines the volume and fullness of our hair?

The 3 to blame: GENETICS, HEALTH, LIFESTYLE

Genetics: The fate of our hair is largely predetermined, but that doesn’t mean we’re powerless.
Health: Our hair is often a reflection of our overall well-being. Hormonal shifts—especially after pregnancy or during perimenopause—can lead to thinning and loss of volume. Underlying health conditions such as severe infections, autoimmune disorders like thyroid disorders or Addison’s disease, and vitamin deficiencies (especially B12 and iron) can all contribute to changes in hair density.
Lifestyle: Stress, diet, and daily hair habits all influence how full and healthy our hair appears. The good news? The right products and techniques can make a noticeable difference. It’s also essential to use toxin-free, safe, clean beauty products. Many conventional haircare formulas contain harsh chemicals that can strip the scalp, disrupt hormones, or lead to buildup that weighs hair down. Opting for clean, high-performance formulas ensures your hair thrives without unnecessary exposure to harmful ingredients.

5 quick Volume Tricks for finer hair types

… Because, let’s be honest, fine hair is the most challenging.

1. STRATEGIC CLEANSING
A fresh, lightweight foundation is key for volume. Overwashing can strip your scalp, while heavy conditioners can weigh strands down. Using products designed to add fullness to the hair is key, and rinsing your hair well of conditioner is equally as important as applying your conditioner to only the tips of your hair. If you have issues with dry scalp or irritation, then you will want to treat it first, as inflammation can cause more thinning and hair shedding. Use TO112 Shampoo and Conditioner for Fine Hair & Oily Scalp to balance oil and create lift from the start, and for irritated scalp, Actsyl 3 Growth Stimulating Shampoo and Advanced Treatment Conditioner are game changers.

2. PREP FOR LIFT
Think of volumizing products as the scaffolding for your style. A good mousse provides essential structure at the root for fine hair, while a sea salt serum adds airy texture to your locks. Work TO112 Hair Mousse into damp roots before styling and apply TO112 Sea Salt Serum through the lengths of your hair for natural fullness. If you have normal hair and want that extra volume, then your hair can handle layering these two products together at the crown. Just remember volume’s worst enemy is product overload, so don’t sabotage it by using too much.

3. DRYING WITH PURPOSE
Blow-drying with the right technique makes all the difference. Flip your head upside down to encourage root lift, use a round brush for extra body, and finish with TO112 Dry Texture Spray to lock in airy volume. Curly-haired girlies with fine hair, please use a diffuser to get those curls bouncing and full.

4. SETTING THE STYLE
Lasting volume is about layering lightweight hold. Mist TO112 Hairspray from a distance to maintain movement without stiffness. Tousle with your fingers for a natural, voluminous effect. Stay away from styling creams, oils, and heavy serums, as these styling products will weigh your hair down, and then you can wave that volume goodbye.

5. SUPPORTING LONG-TERM THICKNESS
Healthy hair equals fuller hair. Strengthening strands at the root level leads to lasting volume. Incorporate Actsyl-3 Hair Serum into your routine to encourage thicker, stronger growth over time. Do not underestimate the importance of healthy eating for long-term hair health. Hair is made from amino acids, so eating protein-rich foods and a diet (or supplements) rich in vitamins like Zink, Vitamin C, Iron, Biotin and B vitamins will help promote healthy hair growth and restore your hair from inside out.

The Naked Truth:

The truth is, great volume isn’t just about what you add—it’s also about what you leave out. With the right techniques, a little restraint, and clean, high-performance formulas, you can have fuller, healthier-looking hair without compromise.
