Before You Go

What’s the Difference Between Thin vs. Fine Hair? 

Simply put, it’s the difference between texture vs. density. As one expert explained in a previous PureWow story, “Fine hair comes down to the thickness of each hair strand, while thin hair is related to the density [or how much hair you have per section].” 

While people with fine hair can experience thinning, not all people with thinning hair have fine hair. “It’s possible to have fine hair at a super high density or have coarse hair that is thinning. Just remember that it’s natural to have a combination of the two,” adds McKernan.

What Should I Look for in a Conditioner for Thin Hair? 

Hair Type

“Anyone with thin hair typically desires volume and the appearance of fullness. [When it comes to] heavy conditioners, they will flatten the hair to the head, making it impossible to achieve this,” says Schruise. To narrow down your search, find conditioners that target your hair type to start. The pro then suggests looking for bottles with keywords like ‘volumizing,’ ‘plumping’ or ‘densifying.’ He says, “These conditioners are going to be lighter in weight and thinner in texture, like the consistency of a face moisturizer, which is very light and sheer.”  

Ingredients to Look for in a Conditioner for Thin Hair

“When shopping for a conditioner, look for ingredients such as amino acids, silk peptides or skin care ingredients like bio ceramides, hyaluronic acid and omegas, which will help improve hydration, without sacrificing on volume,” advises Brager. Other ingredients include plant-based extracts that won’t weigh down hair. “I recommend chamomile extract, calendula, rosemary leaf oil and peppermint leaf extract. They can decrease inflammation, and some (like rosemary oil) can enhance blood flow to the scalp and hair, and have potential to increase hair growth,” adds Dr. Nazarian. And, let’s not forget nourishing ingredients like shea butter, avocado oil and argan oil

Red Flag Ingredients to Avoid When Looking for a Conditioner for Thin Hair

There are a few ingredients Daniels says to avoid: sulfates, formaldehyde, polyethylene glycol (PEG) and dimethicone. “These ingredients can leave your hair feeling dehydrated and can even increase frizz and cause breakage,” he warns. “And in the case of dimethicone, which is a type [of] silicone that makes your hair feel smoother initially, it can dry out your hair in the long run and cause build-up at your roots, which will weigh things down,” he explains.

Brager agrees, adding that you should also steer clear of conditioners that are “high in alcohol content,” which can be super drying. “These conditioners zap the moisture from your hair, making it feel more voluminous for the day, but long-term use will cause breakage and damage to thin hair, which is usually more fragile to begin with,” she cautions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Conditioner Good for Thin Hair? 

Although there may be a fear of weighing down thin hair, all of the experts we interviewed for this story recommend using conditioner in your regular routine. “Conditioning is an important part of a healthy hair care regimen, especially for those experiencing breakage. Conditioner increases manageability by decreasing the friction between hair fibers,” explains Dr. LoGerfo. “One of the most important benefits of using a conditioner is that it coats that outer cuticle, which halts the progression of breakage,” she adds. 

Is a Volumizing Conditioner Good for Thin Hair?

“Yes! Most volumizing stylers contain a lot of alcohol leading to the hair fiber drying out. If hair is repeatedly handled with heat and/or alcohol, and you shampoo without conditioning, it has a very high potential for damage. A volumizing conditioner can add much-needed moisture to hair without weighing it down,” says Schruise. 

How Often Should You Use a Conditioner for Thin Hair?

According to the experts, you should use a conditioner every time you wash your hair. Now, how often you wash your hair may differ depending on your hair type, concerns and lifestyle. However, Dr. Han recommends reducing how often you use leave-in conditioners or hair masks since these are “often richer and more hydrating.” She says to consider applying these types of products every seven to ten days, as needed. 

How Should I Use a Conditioner for Thin Hair?

Two things: You don’t want to use too much conditioner; you typically only need a nickel-size amount at most. And when it comes to the application, focus the conditioner primarily on your mid-lengths and ends only (aka where your hair is driest) and skip the roots altogether.
