The 8 best volumnizing, anti-thinning, and thickening shampoos, conditioners, and styling aids
Photo: iprogressman/Getty Images/iStockphoto I grew up with immense follicular privilege. Thick, lustrous, bouncy curls sprouted from my head in childhood and grew into a mane of carefree spirals in my mid-teens. So effortlessly did this head hedge grow, and so little maintenance did I have to perform on it, that I recklessly took its existence for granted, thinking I’d be top-heavy forever.
“Hair aging is most definitely a thing,” says New York dermatologist Dr. Francesca Fusco. She says the four most common symptoms are texture changes, characterized by strands not being as full, shiny, or manageable as they were; thinning or “miniaturizing” in which individual hairs become thinner; overall thinning, where the total number of hair reduces; and lastly, greying. I check off all those symptoms, but strangely, the first three bother me more than the last.
Kinglsey and I had an hour-long chat where we discussed my grandfather’s hair , my red meat-eating frequency and the state of my body hair . She went full mad scientist on me for a second when I showed her the truly bleak bloodwork results for my ferritin levels, a protein which relates to how much iron your body stores.
Dr. Fusco suggests recruiting your hair stylist as a lookout. “Ask your hairdresser, ‘Is my part getting a little wider? Do you see more scalp?’” Your family tree could also provide some early hints: if you mother or father had hair density changes, it’s likely that you can inherit that predisposition, but it can be traced back to grandparents or even great-grandparents, says Kingsley.
But the magic happened after air drying: my hair looked like it belonged to an Upper East Side poodle with an expensive grooming routine. It seemed like I had three times the amount of hair. It bounced. It spiraled madly. Sure, the ends were not as well-defined and a bit dry, but I like a bit of fluff. I just need to add a pre-shampoo mask or finishing product to the ends to attain perfection. This shampoo-conditioner made me feel 20 again, which is a tough ask for any product out there.

CVS Cashier Can’t Wait To Accept $20 Bill From Customer Purchasing 3 Different Cough MedicationsLANSING, MI—Having watched with mounting excitement as the pallid, sniffling man made his way toward her register from the pharmacy section, local CVS cashier Hannah Everson told reporters Thursday she was overjoyed at the prospect of accepting a $20 bill from a customer purchasing three different kinds of cough medicine. “Oh, boy, I can’t wait to get my hands on that damp twenty—if I’m lucky, he’ll use his clenched fist to cover a small coughing fit before reaching for his wallet,” said Everson, adding that she hoped the man slowly placing cough syrup, throat lozenges, and sinus medication on the counter would at least wipe his nose on the back of his hand before grabbing the bill and handing it over. “I was a little upset that he didn’t sneeze right in front of me when he reached the head of the line, but thankfully, just as he was stepping up to my register, he pulled out a crumpled, used tissue from his pocket, held it to his face, and blew his nose for about 30 continuous seconds. That was an unexpected treat!” Everson added that she could barely contain her elation at the promise of receiving a handful of warm, sticky coins after the man assured her he had exact change.
