Stylists Say This Is A Must-Buy Product To Give Fine Hair More Volume (2024)

After considering over 10 sprays, our fine-haired editors gave Living Proof the top spot for its ability to add next-level volume to hair even well into the next day without making it crunchy. We also weren't surprised when Lamorena recommended the brand's texturizing spray for its superior volume-boosting abilities. "This spray uses a patented molecule that adds instant lift and fullness," she says. "It provides weightless texture, making it great for fine or limp hair."

Users say you don't need much to get the results you're after, either. A little goes a long way to amp up limp and lifeless hair. We also love that it doubles as a heat protectant up to 410 degrees Fahrenheit, too. One of our testers also raved that the spray had a great scent, though other opinions were varying.

For a fraction of the price of our best overall pick, you can grab Sexy Hair's Volume Flex Texture Spray. It comes recommended by celebrity hairstylist Danielle Priano. "It's great for all hair types, [and those who want] to fluff up the hair and add weightless volume," she says. The product is powered by microfibers that make hair appear fuller and denser without leaving any crunchy residue in its wake.

We found a little bit goes a long way. The aerosol can delivers a light and even mist to help you avoid over-saturation. Plus, results are long-lasting, too. The brand claims you'll reap the benefits of this hair product for a full 24 hours.

If your fine hair happens to be oil-prone, Pulse points to Redken's Dry Texture Finishing Spray. "With ingredients like silica, hydrolyzed wheat protein (a protein that strengthens the hair and helps build body without weighing it down, contributing to a thicker appearance), and zeolite, the spray is made with a unique blend of ingredients that work together to provide lift, texture, and long-lasting volume without making the hair feel heavy or sticky," Pulse says.

Users say it really does deliver impressive density, even on the finest hair (one user even tested it during a Southern summer). They are, however, divided on the scent—some love it, while others can't stand it.

If your roots look limp and lifeless, you have to try this dry shampoo/texturizing spray hybrid, says Lamorena. The lightweight and invisible formula is both volumizing and texturizing, but also works to absorb any excess oil on the scalp and strands. The result: Lifted roots and a more lush-looking style.

We love that it has some hydrating properties, too, so hair won't become dull and prone to breakage. The formula also includes mango and aloe extracts for this purpose, plus Oribe's signature complex, which adds a nice bonus of UV protection. It's definitely a splurge, but the volume and boost of hydration it adds is worth the price.

For maximum versatility, Lamorena suggests this spray from Amika, which she calls highly-buildable. Add just a touch of tousle for everyday wear, or layer it on for intense volume on the days you need it most. "It has a matte finish, perfect for creating fullness and definition in fine hair," says Lamorena. "It’s lightweight and doesn’t leave any sticky residue, either."

Like most of Amika's hair products, we like that this spray is budget-friendly, but highly-effective. We also love the scent and the fact that it comes in a travel-sized can that meets TSA requirements for frequent fliers, too.

Texturizing spray has a tendency to dry out strands, and even fine hair needs a little bit of moisture. For those with damaged or brittle hair, we recommend Moroccanoil's iteration. It's infused with argan oil to improve elasticity and smooth hair. Unlike other options, the spray doesn't make it hard to comb through your hair afterwards.

Still, it contains ingredients, like zeolite and hydrolyzed wheat protein, to lend grip and add texture. Users say it's a great all-in-one product, offering both volume and hold. And, as a nice bonus, we love the way it smells, too.

Those who covet that trendy glass hair look can nail it with this texturizing spray. It lends intense shine without weighing fine hair down, so your strands will look sleek and straight but still lifted at the roots. "This spray adds good light texture to your hair, which makes [it] look amazing with a finished shine that's not too much," says Katelyn Ellsworth, a colorist and co-founder of The Roslyn in San Diego. "It's not a heavy formula, so it won't weigh your hair down at all and features a flexible hold."

Users say the results are long-lasting—your style will be at its prime all day long. And we love that the product has a cleaner ingredient list, free from any harsh products like parabens.
