items Now listen, I have a bald dad and a mom with extremely thin hair, so unfortunately, I am very follically challenged. BUT that also means that I am the perfect person to pass on some recommendations to my fellow thin, fine haired girls or guys! Trust ...

Scalp oils and treatments
I am so so glad they came out with this ‘light’ version of the rosemary oil. Rosemary oil is amaaaazing for hair growth and strengthening but can often be way too concentrated or potent for thin hair, which is why this product was an absolute god sen...
Mielle Organics Rosemary Mint Light Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil - 2 fl oz
I hate that I love this product so much as it is more on the pricier side, but oh man it’s so worth it. The Kerastase products are all so so beautiful and this serum is created specifically for thin hair
Initialiste Advanced Scalp & Hair Serum | Kérastase
I was quite pleasantly surprised by this product, I got given this by a friend and have ended up repurchasing as I loved it so much, doesn’t leave your hair feeling greasy or weighed down and I feel like it has given me some new growth (which is very...
The Ordinary Women's New Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density - 1 fl oz - Ulta Beauty
Throughout my hair care journey I have realised how important looking after your scalp is. I can get quite a dry flaky scalp sometimes but this product literally solves this instantly, remember good hair starts at the root!!
8.0 oz Scalp Revival Charcoal + Coconut Oil Micro-Exfoliating Scrub Shampoo - Briogeo | Ulta Beauty
Shampoo
I think this product along might be my #1 fav shampoo, my hair gets really dry at the ends and this makes such a difference, my hair feels noticeably softer and more hydrated
33.8 oz (Jumbo) All Soft Shampoo - Redken | Ulta Beauty
I use this product maybe once every 2-3 washes, I find that because my hair is so thin it always looks greasy 1-2 days after washing 🥲 but I’ve noticed when I use a clarifying shampoo, it stays cleaner for much longer. Also so good for hair health ...
OUAI Detox Shampoo - 10 fl oz - Ulta Beauty
I looooove this L’Oréal range!! The L’Oréal group actually owns Kerastase, so you will find that they actually have a lot of the same ingredients, meaning that you don’t need to spend an arm and a leg for good hair care!
L'Oreal Paris Ever Strong Sulfate-Free Thickening Shampoo - 8.5 fl oz
One thing to note about shampoo for fine hair is that clear shampoos are generally better at not weighing down hair, this one also has an amaaazing lather which I love and makes my hair feel so so clean after
Pantene Pro-V Miracles Infinite Lengths Biotin + Collagen Shampoo Sulfate Free - 13.5 fl oz
Hair masks
This hair mask is probably my most used, I will usually apply a hair mask for about it 5 mins BEFORE my conditioner in the shower, I find that this is what makes me hair feel the silkiest. This hair mask I will be repurchasing FOREVER, makes my hair ...
8.0 oz Don't Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Hair Mask - Briogeo | Ulta Beauty
This is another one that I will probably be repurchasing when I run out, so hydrating, doesn’t make my hair feel weighed down like a lot of other masks, created specifically for thin hair!!
OUAI Fine to Medium Hair Treatment Masque - Travel Size - 3.4oz - Ulta Beauty
This hair mask is so so so underated, perfect for thin hair and makes my hair feel sooo moisturised!!
Fino Premium Touch Hair Mask, Deep Repair Treatment, Softens & Adds Shine, 8.11 oz
This is the only Amika product I have tried so far and I reaaaally love it. I have found that anything that says ‘bond repair’ my hair seems to work really well with, smells amazing too.
Amika The Kure Intense Repair Mask 3.3 oz
Conditioner
I’ll usually use this in conjunction with the Pantene biotin shampoo and they work so nicely together, is so so nourishing for dry ends!
Pantene Pro-V Miracle Rescue Deep Repair Conditioner - 8 fl oz
The all soft conditioner is also one of my most reached for hair products, soft smooth and silky, but not heavy on the hair is exactly what I want from a conditioner!
10.1 oz All Soft Conditioner - Redken | Ulta Beauty
This one is such a good choice, a clear product so doesn’t weight down hair, better suited to dry or brittle ends as it contains lots of really hydrating ingredients
L'Oreal Paris Elvive Hyaluron Plump Shampoo & Conditioner Set - 25.2 fl oz
Probably one of the best drugstore products in my opinion, anything from the Dove range is absolutely beautiful and has such amazing ingredients, so so cheap too!
Dove Beauty Intensive Repair Shampoo & Conditioner Set for Damaged Hair - 12 fl oz/ 2ct
Leave in conditioner
The best oils for fine hair are; Argan oil, jojoba oil, grape seed oil, sweet almond oil or even rose hip oil. Anything else can be really heavy and too rich for thin hair, this product is so hydrating and beautiful without feeling heavy at all
artnaturals, Argan Oil Leave-In Conditioner, For Dry, Damaged, Brittle Hair, 12 fl oz (355 ml)
I think I’ve probably repurchased this product about 7-8 times, I have been using this one for yearssss! I feel like it actually penetrated deep into my hair and makes its softer when it’s dry! A must try
No.6 Bond Smoother Frizz Control Styling Hair Cream - OLAPLEX | Ulta Beauty
Now we don’t actually sell this at all in New Zealand so whenever I go to the states I STOCK UP, it’s affordable, it’s moisturising, it’s hydrating, it does everything it says it does! If you haven’t tried this range yet then please please do!
It's a 10 Miracle Leave-In Conditioner
I absolutely love the Moroccanoil range and their products are sooo hydrating, use this one sparingly to avoid being weighed down, but absolutely saves my dry ends!
All in One Leave-In Conditioner - Moroccanoil | Ulta Beauty
Hair oil
I use a hair oil on the ends when they are still wet so that it can actually soak into the hair instead of sitting on top! This hair oil is one of my favs and is great for thinner hair, you only need a small amount and it’s hydrating and make my hair...
OUAI Women's Hair Oil - Travel Size - 0.45 fl oz - Ulta Beauty
This is one of the most beautiful products I’ve used for my hair, I apply this on my ends while my hair is wet and makes my hair so silky and smooth, despite the higher price point I will probably be repurchasing for a long time :)
Elixir Ultime L'Huile Original Hair Oil Refillable | Kérastase
This brand is a really underated brand, this is a really lightweight but really lovely oil, leaves my ends feeling noticeably more hydrated
Elizavecca, CER-100 Hair Muscle Essence Oil, 3.38 fl oz (100 ml)
This brand is another really affordable but effective option, lightweight and nourishing, I will be repurchasing when my current one runs out!
Odele Mini Shine Enhancing, Damage Repair Hair Oil - 0.75 fl oz
Styling and volume
When buying styling products, I do tend to gravitate more towards ‘volumising’ products, to help make it look like I’ve got more hair than I do, and one is so so good at doing exactly that, I spray this into my roots for added volume
Sexy Hair Spray and Play Hairspray - 10oz
I can confidently say that when I learnt how to use texture spray my life changed for the better, I spray this onto the roots for volume and it looks and holds amazinglyyyyy
4.12 oz Thickening Dryspun Texture Spray Light
If you’re like me and you love a slick back moment, you need one of these in your collection, I love the little wand, it works so well to keep any baby hairs or flyaways in place
Styling Taming Wand - Kitsch | Ulta Beauty
This is one of my most popular and highly rated wax sticks on the market and I think it’s well deserved! So effective without feeling sticky or making my hair look greasy
TIGI Bed Head Hair Wax Stick - 2.57oz
Hair health, maintenance, & tools
A struggle I used to have with my hair was that because it was so thin, it used to break off so easily, I noticed that my hair was breaking off right where I was trying my hair so I switched to these scrunchies and it’s has SAVED my hair
Eucalyptus Satin Ultra Petite Hair Scrunchies - Kitsch | Ulta Beauty
This is my favvvv hair brush, so so gentle on your hair and minimalises breakage, so easily detangles
Wet Brush Glitter Waves Original Detangler Hair Brush - Purple
Another thing that I have found to have helped prevent any further breakage or split ends is this pillowcase combined with sleeping with your hair in a loose braid!! So important!
Kitsch Queen Size Satin Standard Pillowcase Thread Count "600" - Ivory
I looove using a scalp messaged to give myself a head massage most days, not only does it feel good but it helps promote new hair growth (I use with scalp oil on), I also like to use it while I’ve got shampoo in to help lather it up!
