1. Silicone-free L’Oreal 8 Second Wonder Water Lamellar that reviewers swear by for shiny, healthier looking hair. You can say bye-bye to frizz and hello to volume with this weightless, moisturizing formula. Every time you see your reflection, you'll be tempted to belt out "Who's that girl?" by Eve. 🎶
Reviewers with all hair types from straight to 4c hair are raving about this treatment! And it's easy to use! Just apply this directly to wet hair (avoiding the roots), massage it in for eight seconds, then rinse.
Promising reviews: "Turned my fine, frizzy hair into lovely, silky hair. I bought this stuff on a whim because I'm always in the market for products that promise to smooth frizz and enable easier blowouts. My hair is almost shoulder-length and has been through a lot of damaging bleach and harsh keratin treatments. Honestly, I was shocked at how well this worked. After one use (left it in for about a minute and followed with normal conditioner), my hair was so easy to blow-dry. It came out straight with just a paddle brush and I was able to skip the flat iron. It still had bounce and volume, though. I'm a huge fan!" —LisaG

2. A mud mask, perfect for textured or curly hair, that'll revitalize flat curls. You can leave limp and dull hair behind, because this mask will gently exfoliate your scalp, increase shine, and make your hair bouncier.
Bread Beauty Supply is a Black woman-owned small business.
Promising review: "I have frizzy, fairly unexciting hair and never used a pre-wash product so I was a bit skeptical. I applied to dry hair and scalp (such a fluffy beautiful formula that spreads so well on hair!) and washed off with my regular shampoo and conditioner. 20 minutes later, I WAS AMAZED after my hair dried. And for a couple of days after, my hair felt soft and shiny. My hair DID NOT GET OILY AT THE SCALP two days without a wash as it usually does. It stayed so nice and formed that I didn't even heat dry it, almost fully eliminated frizz. This is definitely a product I didn't know I needed and now really love. Shows the importance of product buildup removal and deep cleansing/scalp care. Can't wait to use again!" —jana

3. Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray because reviewers say it adds great texture without the frizz. It's a splurge, but this foolproof formula is a must-have for anyone who has thin hair — just spray on dry hair for instant volume.
Promising review: "I've tried way too many texture/salt/powder sprays to achieve the tousled look on my fine pixie cut hair and they just did not work. Other brands either left me with dried out, gummy, sticky hair or did absolutely nothing, zero, nada! So in the throes of total desperation I paid the outrageous price for this can. I really didn't think it was worth all the hype until I used it. Let me just say, it is worth the price. This gives a great tousled look yet leaves your hair feeling like there is nothing there! Not sticky, gummy, or drying but soft, full of texture, movement, body, and IT DOES'T TAKE A LOT TO ACHIEVE THIS (thanks to the Oribe gods for that)." —Donna OBrien
Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in two sizes and two styles).

4. Hair Dance Dry Shampoo Volume Powder if you have hair that tends to get weighed down by excess oil. You can go longer in between washes without using products that'll dry it out. This powder absorbs grease (bye-bye stringy hair) and leaves behind the fresh scent of lavender.
This vegan and cruelty-free dry shampoo doesn't contain any talc, parabens, or baking soda.
Promising review: "My hair is ALWAYS oily at the roots and aerosol cans of dry shampoo make my hair stiff, but this stuff...this stuff is amazing! Adds volume, doesn't completely dry out my hair, and does not leave residue or buildup (I have black hair so this is very important). Also, my hair smells super fresh after using it. Would give more stars if I could!" —Gabriela
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (also available in a two-pack).
5. SexyHair Volumizing Hairspray, for all hair types, that will make your hair look fuller without making your mane feel stiff. So, it won't sound like you're munching on a bag of chips when you try to flip your hair. Skip crunchy, frizzy hair for a workable hold that'll add some height to your strands.
Promising reviews: "This is the best hairspray if you have fine hair that you style to add volume. This hairspray holds all day, but feels natural and isn't noticeable. I've tried them all and have spent lots of money on many very high-end hairsprays, but this is by far the best I've ever found." —Rhonda C.
"My hair is fine, thin, and super frizzy with lots of flyaways. It's a struggle to find a hairspray that will control the frizz, but also give volume, and not leave my hair stiff. This works very well for volume and frizz control, but does leave my hair a little on the stiff side." —Emma Elizabeth
Get it from Amazon for $9+ (available in two sizes, a two-pack, and two scents).
6. A Cake Beauty Curl Defining set to achieve glossy, frizz-free curls without sacrificing definition and body. This set includes a shampoo, conditioner, and a hair cream. Your hair will look moisturized without it looking and feeling weighed down — think Taylor Swift curls circa 2006.
Reviewers say it works great on wavy hair and 3a–4b hair types.
Promising reviews: "I have thin hair that has a very inconsistent wave pattern. When I allow it to air dry on its own it will be inconsistent and frizzy. I added this stuff to the mix, as well as switching to a T-shirt instead of a towel to dry my hair, and it's a game changer. It keeps the frizz away, while evening out my waves and adding body. Very happy with the purchase. Great if you're trying to lay off hot tools or don't have time." —Kaitlyn
"Best cream for my 3b curls. Awesome product! It leaves my hair soft and frizz-free, but my curls are defined and bouncy! I love the smell (a bit lemony) and the texture is nice and light. Not greasy or heavy. It's the only curl cream I've ever used that allows me to have day 3 and 4 hair! Definitely worth the purchase." —Meredith Henderson
Get it from Amazon for $37.89.
7. A teasing brush with tourmaline-enhanced nylon bristles to pump up your strands. Okay, hear me out — I know teased hair gets a bad wrap. Don't worry, you won't look like the lead singer of an '80s rock band (unless you want to! No judgment here) because reviewers say it adds *oomph* without frizz.
Promising reviews: "Where has this been all my life and how did I not know about teasing brushes? I have never been able to get a good tease using a rat tail comb, so thought I would try this and WOW. I have fairly fine hair and I am amazed at how well this works to give me volume. The brush is well made with no loose bristles, and it's just the right width for my bangs." —Judi W
"I love this little brush! I only just learned such a thing existed and had been using a teasing comb. This does much better with creating volume at the top of my head (I have very fine hair) without tearing my hair and frizzing it. With fine hair, it's especially important to have these gentle bristles. I highly recommend this brush for anybody wishing to create volume or height in their hair. And a very good price too!" —M. Montour
Get it from Amazon for $9.97.
8. Or a detangling brush if you're looking for a brush specifically designed for 3-4c hair. This brush will comb away tangles without adding frizz so you can have more defined curls with all 👏 that 👏 body 👏 you 👏 crave.
Promising reviews: "My hair is hip-length, 2c/3a. I have never in my life managed to detangle in less than 15 minutes, it's usually closer to 30. This brush? maybe two minutes, tops. And completely painless! Pulled out a LOT less hair, too. Follow the directions — brush once horizontal, once vertical-and that's really it! Done in two brushstrokes! No pulling, no snarls, no 'gotta go back and take out this one knot.' Two minutes and my curls were de-frizzed, detangled, and ready to style. I don't know what magic is in this design but it really works!" —Sarah
"I’ve searched over and over for a comb/brush that doesn’t flatten my hair or make it staticky — finally found it. This absolutely makes my fine hair fuller in appearance." —Jack
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in five colors).
9. Elizavecca Milky Piggy Collagen Coating Protein Ion Injection if you want split ends, frizz, and dullness to vanish. This will make you hair look smoother and healthier without weighing it down. You can have shiny hair that's not oily — because you deserve glistening hair that doesn't look greasy.
Simply shampoo, leave this mask on for up to 15 minutes, then rinse.
Promising review: "I have 4c hair and was looking for a protein treatment for my thin and fragile hair. I had recently used a product in my hair that had so much alcohol in it that it wreaked havoc on my hair, leaving it pretty damaged. I was very skeptical about this product because I have never seen anyone with my hair type use it. Boy was I wrong to doubt this product, it left my hair looking and feeling beautiful. I highly recommend it to anyone natural or with curly hair." —Therese-Claire
Get it from Amazon for $7.62.
10. Dry Shampoo Paste because it combines two must-haves for anyone whose hair goes flat because it gets greasy — dry shampoo and a styling paste. This paste will absorb oil while adding texture and volume. Reviewers say it's even great at smoothing out flyaways, too.
This product contains amazing ingredients like volcanic ash, coconut oil, zeolite, and sunflower seed extract.
Promising review: "Where has this been all my life? I have tried multiple dry shampoos and none of them have worked. A little but of this goes a long way and makes a huge difference in my fine hair, which usually looks greasy by the end of the day. This stuff is the best." —MDKH
Get it from Amazon for $34.

11. SexyHair Volumizing Powder that you just dab into your roots and comb through your ends, and voila! — your hair will look fuller in just minutes. And it's completely colorless on hair so you won't leave a trail of powdery residue behind.
Promising review: "Background details: I have fine, but pretty dense hair that tends to pull flat at the crown and absorbs oil and moisture like a sponge. It has a slight wave and tends to frizz, so even air drying is out of the question. It also usually refuses to hold a style, slips easily out of most clips and fasteners, and collapses if curled. Hairspray won't hold it, gel makes it crackly, and if I try to wear it down, it just slithers into my face and picks up oil from my skin. And it's humid as all get-out here. Ugh. I used this on my roots (at the crown) of day two hair with a scant spritz of dry shampoo at the temples, and at the end of the day, I've still got volume and texture, and my style (down, not pulled back) actually stayed in place. My hair doesn't look greasy or limp, and I don't feel totally disgusting. I'm sold and will absolutely purchase this again!" —Heather
Get it from Amazon for $18.95.
12. Herstyler Hair Repair Serum to tame frizz because it's infused with argan oil, vitamin E, and aloe vera. But don't worry — this formula is super lightweight so it won't leave your hair flat.
Promising review: "I have a lot of fine, thin hair and it is prone to frizz with the slightest amount of humidity. I've tried so many serums and oils and none have controlled the frizz...until I tried this one. I have yet to put it through the test of a Midwest spring and summer, but so far, even on rainy winter days, my hair has stayed smooth and frizz-free. I'm extremely impressed with this product and love that my hair looks great even on the second day. It's still smooth, shiny and has volume despite sleeping on it. I would highly recommend this product to anyone with frizz-prone hair." —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in two-pack and four-pack).
13. Moroccanoil Extra Volume Conditioner for fine and medium hair textures that will gently detangle your hair and plump up every strand so you'll have a mane even Rapunzel would be be jealous of. Reviewers say it won't weigh your hair down while making it look shinier and smoother.
Promising reviews: "This conditioner is amazing! After using this just once, I could see a volume and a bounce in my wavy hair! This is the best conditioner I've ever used." —camelCase
"Smells amazing! This was lightweight enough for my fine hair, but still left it silky and smooth." —HeidH
Get it from Sephora for $26+ (available in two sizes).
14. An Xtava Black Orchid Hair Diffuser with 360-degree airflow to help you achieve defined curls. In plain English: it'll evenly distribute heat to each strand perfectly so you'll get all the volume you want without the frizz. For anyone with curly hair — the hair gods have finally answered your prayers.
This diffuser has a 1.8-inch diameter, meaning it'll attach perfectly to most hairdryers. And reviewers say it works great on all hair types from wavy to 3c and 4c hair.
Promising review: "LOVE LOVE LOVE this diffuser! This is THE BEST diffuser I have ever used. I have super thick, long, naturally curly hair and not only does this diffuser dry my hair super fast, it honestly gives my hair volume and bounce. And amazingly, when I use this instead of air-drying, my curls are not frizzy!" —Georgia
Get it from Amazon for $22.49.
15. A Kenra finishing spray if you spend a longggg time in the a.m. to achieve the perfect hairstyle and you want it to last all day. You'll get all that volume and shine you crave and it'll stay put even against humidity and wind. The results with ~blow~ you away.
This spray also won't flake, dries quickly, and won't make your hair look stiff.
Promising reviews: "I have fine and thin hair and this is the best hairspray I've ever used. With it, my hair doesn't look rigid but it still stays put. This is more expensive than products I've used before but it's worth every penny." —bookreader
"I absolutely love this hairspray! Having moved to a super humid part of the South I was looking for a hairspray that could make my curls stand up to a day of high humidity, and this is definitely it. I curl with a curling wand and then put a light mist of hairspray all over and that keeps the curls in place and no frizz all day even in the worst of the hot, humid summers. If you need a heavy duty spray that will stand up to the weather this is definitely a must-have!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three sizes).
16. An Amika hair mousse with shaping polymers that'll plump up your tresses with its weightless, whipped formula. This mousse works best when you apply it to wet hair and work it through from roots to ends.
Promising review: "Does what I need it to do. It doesn't weigh down my hair and it adds the volume I am looking for. I use about half the amount the can recommends and I get the same results. I like the smell, very light, not overpowering." –MGottis
"I love this Amika mouse. It is what I hoped for, PLUS! THE FRAGRANCE IS AWESOME 😎. It gave me volume, body, bounce, and smooth frizz-free hair that smelled phenomenal until I washed it again. I would definitely recommend to all." —Specialk

17. A thickening cream that works like an optical illusion! It'll make your hair appear thicker and fuller in a matter of seconds.

It contains a thickening molecule that creates thickening dots between hair strands, so it feels and looks like you have fuller hair.
Promising reviews: "I have thinning hair, achieving body/volume is tricky. I started using Living Proof Thickening Cream four years ago and love this cream to add body and fullness to my hair. It doesn't take much, has a fresh smell, and doesn't weigh your hair down." –RG

Promising reviews: "LOVE this dryer!!!! I have thin curly hair that can frizz. I was trying tons of different products and letting it air dry. Result...flat, no body or bounce until buying this dryer. Now, I get beautiful full curls, lift, body and volume. I can't believe it myself and the compliments are still coming. Two speeds and two temperature settings. Wish they made it dual voltage for travel." —csf
"Works well on 4b/4c hair. My hair is a kinky/tightly curled texture, and it works great drying while maintaining my texture. The placement of the handle makes it easy to hold closely to my head." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "These are the best rollers for my fine, shoulder length hair. I can put them in for a few minutes, wear them while I do my makeup and when I take them out, I look like I have great volume. They don't leave frizz or poodle curls, just add extra volume and bounce to my hair. I just wish they had one more roller built in to the set. BTW- I keep the metal clips that came with the set on the counter while the rollers heat up, or else they become too hot to comfortably use." —Maria Florida

These gave me beautiful curls with no frizz or damage from heat. I can't believe they are as easy, fuss-free and comfortable as they actually are. I had no issue sleeping in them. In my experience if you have thin hair you really barely need it damp or it takes forever to dry. They work just as well and I can do them a couple of hours beforehand instead of sleeping in them. Best thing that's ever happened to my hair." —Melissa
"I love these flexible rollers! They create beautiful curls. I usually use hot rollers. These rollers rollers create fuller curls that stay throughout the day. I am done with my hot roller set.

Keeps hair shiny, frizz free, moisturized but not greasy. Although I never put it or any conditioning products at my roots, only ends. I highly recommend this product. A dime to nickel-sized amount (depending on hair length) is all you need so a bottle lasts so long. Just rub it between your palms and work through the ends of your hair." —Shawn
