Mielle Organics Mongongo Oil Thermal & Heat Protectant Spray, Protects Hair from Heat Damage, Intense Heat Defense, Curl Pattern Protection, Safe for All Hair Types, 4 Ounce

I gave up on the goal of my hair being something it's not. It's a massive relief, TBH. It's never going to be "thicker" or "more dense," and I'm OK with that. What I DO aim for, are products and things that don't weigh my hair down and make it appear thinner or flatter than it already is. Similar, and yet a completely different objective. I've been using the following products for a few years and really love them (I have straight hair, which matters, IMO - and you didn't specify whether your hair is curly or straight): Shampoo: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075CYCPX4 Conditioner: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pantene-Sulfate-Free-Conditioner-Illuminating-Conditioner-with-Biotin-Color-Safe-8-0-fl-oz/1222618687 Thickening spray: https://getboldify.com/products/hair-thickening-spray Heat protectant: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0752KMDQB Hairspray: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000YACKO0 ... If I really want to add volume at the roots for a special event or something, I'll use my Voloom tool. (It's kind of a micro-crimper.) I'll also sometimes use some "thickening fibers spray" or "Boldify powders" to cover up the cowlick I have in the back/top of my head. But those 2 things are really reserved for special occasions when I care to put in the effort. ETA: I also think the CUT matters probably even more. I recently got a blunt cut, chin-length bob with bangs and a few texturizing layers. I absolutely love it.
