Hair thinning is one of those things you don't necessarily think about until you start noticing more strands in your hairbrush, a little less volume when you're styling or a ponytail that doesn't feel quite as thick as it used to.
Whether it's caused by hormonal changes during menopause, shedding associated with rapid weight loss or simply having naturally fine hair, watching your hair lose its fullness can be frustrating.
John Frieda has an affordable three-step hair care collection that is designed to give fine or thinning hair a visibly thicker appearance, using biotin and hyaluronic acid to help strengthen, hydrate and plump strands without weighing them down. According to the brand, the system can make hair look up to 200% thicker after just
one use.

The collection includes a thickening shampoo and conditioner, plus a thickening spray that adds volume and heat protection for less than $30 total. All three products are available on Amazon, making it easy to give your hair a little extra attention without breaking the bank.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I tried this Frieda hair-thickening shampoo. I look like I have a thick head of hair! And it makes me look significantly younger. I'm really happy with it." — Amazon customer review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "From the moment you start to lather, you will feel a difference. Thick, silky lather! I even checked the directions - you don't have to "lather, rinse & repeat". I usually do out of habit but have tried to lathering once and it does work. I want a shampoo to make my hair feel clean and not like it has left a bunch of gunk behind and this one does seem to rinse all out.
And my hair feels different. Yes, it feels thicker - with more body - but more importantly to me, it feels really silky and smooth." — Amazon customer review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "My thin hair has been so full after using this shampoo. It's all I buy now. I also use the spray. I get so many compliments on my hair. It's not heavy, or greasy. I'm done trying different shampoos. I found my shampoo for life." — Amazon customer review
