Specially formulated for fine, flat and thin hair, this nourishing shampoo works to gently cleanse and eradicate sebum and dirt buildup that cause your hair to become weighed down and flat. Its enriching botanical formula is made with eco-certified moroccan organic argan oil and spanish virgin olive oil, plus aloe vera juice, bamboo stem extract and essential vitamins B5 and E to restore your hair’s natural lustre. Exclusively available at Guardian stores.

This gentle, mineral-rich shampoo from New Zealand is packed with key vitamins, amino acids and plant proteins ideal for fine hair that needs a bit of a volume boost. It’s sulphate-free and hence doesn’t produce tons of foam, so be sure to massage it into your hair and scalp for weightless volume and healthy nourishment. Available at Watsons stores.

If you’re worried that using a conditioner will weigh down your already-flat tresses,  this conditioner is created without the use of silicones and has a very light texture that won’t add weight to your hair. Plus, it’s made with organic mallow extracts that helps detangle hair while amplifying volume and texture. Available at selected department stores.

Just as its name suggests, this product has more of a serum texture that coats hair cuticles, delivering essential nutrients for stronger, more resilient hair—totally essential for fine hair that is prone to snapping. And that’s not all, it also contains body-building ingredients to add volume while sealing off frizz and humidity for silky locks. A little product goes a long way so start with spreading two to three pumps worth of product along the lengths of towel-dried hair (if you have over-the-shoulder length hair) before blow-drying. Available at Sephora.

For gravity-defying root lift, this weightless powder spray has got you covered, thanks to its key ingredient, Betonite Clay. Invisible yet power-packed, this ultra-fine powder adds bulk and grip to fine hair so you can style it the way your heart desires. All you have to do is squeeze the pump bottle with the nozzle directed at the roots and massage in for a hair-raising effect, quite literally. Repeat in sections and add some product to the lengths of your strands for added texture. Available at Sephora.

Fine hair can be more susceptible to falling limp, especially when it’s not thoroughly cleansed, leaving impurities and residual hair products to accumulate. To give your strands a new lease of life, give it a DIY detox with this deep cleansing paste once or twice a week. Though it seems thick and sticky in the tub, it forms a rich and luxurious lather when massaged into wet hair and scalp. Pure Rassoul Clay eliminates gunk without stripping coloured hair of its vibrancy and essential moisture, restoring balance to your tresses. Rose extracts also help deliver moisture, and leaves hair smelling oh-so-good. Available at Sephora.

Featuring the brand’s Meta-Volume Technology patented Thickening Molecule, PBAE, this styling cream offers instant volume and maleable hold that lasts up to 48 hours. Simply rub a pearl-sized amount between palms and scrunch into dry hair (medium-length) to style. Hair remains flexible and so you can always restyle it throughout the day. Available at Sephora.

If your T-zone is prone to oiliness, chances are, so is your scalp. Formulated to combat fine hair and greasy scalp, this natural powder dry shampoo uses botanical starches to soak up sebum and perspiration, giving limp tresses an instant boost. It also features AVEDA’s soothing Shampure scent, which leaves hair delicately scented—perfect as a post-lunch pick-me-up for fresh locks. Available at selected leading department stores and salons.

If your hair is damaged and limp, work this leave-in styling cream through towel-dried or dry hair for enhanced fullness, softness and smoothness without leaving a tacky feeling. Made with keratin and elastin, it works to strengthen your hair and protect from heat so you can blow-dry with ease of mind. Available at selected salons.

If your scalp is sensitive or inflamed, this silicone-free shampoo is formulated with ultra-soothing menthol and natural ingredients to minimise irritation and inflammation . Best used  in conjunction with the Tokio IE Spa Treatment, this shampoo also helps moisturise and repair hair that’s been exposed to drying chemicals or heat, effectively leaving it healthy and naturally fuller-looking, while lemon grass essential oil infuses your senses with a feeling of relaxation and turns your shower into a spa. Available at selected salons.

Enriched with precious plant extracts and essential minerals, this serum purifies a congested scalp, supports hair bulb regeneration and improves hair resilience right from the root.
