Volumising Shampoo NZ | Volume for Fine Hair | Zilion NZ
Volumising Shampoo in New Zealand
Fine hair has a frustrating habit of looking great for an hour and then dropping flat. Heavy shampoos and conditioners make it worse, coating each strand so the roots lie down against the scalp. A good volumising shampoo does the opposite: it cleans away the oil and residue that weigh hair down, leaves nothing heavy behind, and often adds proteins or polymers that make each strand feel thicker, so lift starts in the shower rather than with a can of spray.
This collection brings together more than 70 volumising and thickening shampoos and matching routines, from everyday Natural Look and Hi Lift to salon favourites such as Eleven Australia, Bokka Botanika, Echosline, Kevin Murphy, Davines, Olaplex, KMS, Goldwell, Kerasilk and Decibel. Zilion is an official NZ stockist of every brand here.
About Our Volumising Shampoo Collection
Volumising shampoos work in a few different ways. Some, such as Schwarzkopf Professional BC Volume Boost and L'Oreal Professionnel Serioxyl, focus on a deep but gentle cleanse that removes the oil and residue that flatten roots. Others add strengthening proteins, like the hydrolysed wheat protein in Eleven Australia I Want Body and Nine Yards Go Loud or the protein-based Matrix High Amplify. Thickening formulas, including Kevin Murphy Plumping Wash with ginger root and nettle, Bokka Botanika Thikk Volume with bamboo and quinoa, and Decibel Thickening Shampoo with its 140dB Complex, are designed to make fine strands feel fuller.
Many of these shampoos are also sulfate-free, which matters if your fine hair is coloured, and several are built for a specific need: Olaplex No.4 Fine Bond Maintenance for fine hair that has been lightened or damaged, and Kerasilk Volumizing for a gentle vegan cleanse with biomimetic silk. Pair any of them with a lightweight conditioner from the same range, applied only to the ends, and a root-lifting styler, and fine hair holds its shape far longer.

Benefits of Volumising Shampoo
- Lift from the root. Lightweight formulas leave nothing heavy behind, so roots stand up instead of lying flat.
- Fuller-feeling strands. Proteins and thickening complexes make fine hair feel denser.
- Longer-lasting style. A clean, residue-free base helps blow-dries and curls hold their shape.
- Fresher for longer. Removing excess oil means fine hair takes longer to look flat and greasy.
- Kind to colour. Many volumisers, including Decibel and Nine Yards, are sulfate-free.
- Works with your routine. Matching conditioners and root sprays from the same range build on the result.

How to Use Volumising Shampoo
Wet your hair thoroughly and massage a small amount of shampoo into the scalp with your fingertips, letting the lather run through the lengths as you rinse. If you use styling products or have an oily scalp, wash twice: the first wash removes residue, the second lifts the roots. Use a lightweight volumising conditioner on the mid-lengths and ends only, and rinse well. Blow-dry with your head upside down or lift the roots with a round brush, and finish with a root spray, mousse or volume powder for extra hold.

Volumising Shampoo FAQs
What does volumising shampoo do?
It cleans away the oil and residue that weigh hair down, leaves nothing heavy behind, and often adds proteins or polymers that make strands feel thicker, so hair has more lift and body.
Who should use volumising shampoo?
It suits fine, flat or limp hair, and anyone who wants more lift at the roots. Very thick or coarse hair usually does better with moisturising formulas.
What is the difference between volumising and thickening shampoo?
Volumising shampoos focus on lift and body, while thickening shampoos aim to make each strand feel fuller. Many products, such as Bokka Botanika Thikk Volume, do both.

Which volumising shampoo is best for an oily scalp?
A cleansing volumiser such as Schwarzkopf BC Volume Boost or L'Oreal Professionnel Serioxyl Advanced Purifier and Bodifier removes oil that flattens roots.
Is volumising shampoo good for thinning hair?
Volumising and densifying shampoos can make thin-feeling hair look fuller, but they do not treat hair loss. See your GP if you notice sudden or patchy shedding.
Can men use volumising shampoo?
Yes. Fine hair is common in men too, and a lightweight volumiser helps short styles hold their shape.
Do I need a volumising conditioner as well?
A lightweight conditioner on the ends keeps hair manageable without flattening the roots. Most brands here sell a matching volumising conditioner, often in a duo.
Should I skip conditioner if I have fine hair?
No. Use a light conditioner on the mid-lengths and ends only. Skipping it can leave fine hair tangly and prone to breakage.
Can I use volumising shampoo every day?
Yes. Most volumising shampoos are gentle enough for daily washing, which many people with fine, oily hair prefer.
Should I wash twice with volumising shampoo?
If you use styling products or have an oily scalp, a double wash removes residue first and then lifts the roots.
Why does my hair still look flat after washing?
Heavy conditioner, product build-up or oily roots are usual causes. Use conditioner on the ends only, clarify weekly and blow-dry the roots upside down.
Can volumising shampoo dry out my hair?
Some cleansing formulas can feel drying on very fine or porous ends. Always follow with a light conditioner on the lengths.
What styling products add volume?
Root sprays, mousse, volume powder and texture sprays all build lift. Our Texture and Volume Styling collection has plenty of options.
How do I blow-dry for volume?
Rough-dry with your head upside down, then lift sections at the root with a round brush, directing the dryer upwards. Finish with a cool shot to set.
Does dry shampoo add volume?
Yes. Dry shampoo absorbs oil at the roots and adds grip, which helps fine hair look fuller between washes. Muk Hair Head Dry Shampoo is one option.
Are litre volumising shampoos better value?
Usually, yes. Natural Look, Hi Lift, Osmo, Echosline, Actyva and Decibel all come in litre sizes that cost less per wash.
Which volumising shampoos come in travel sizes?
Eleven Australia I Want Body comes in 50ml and Davines Volu in 75ml, and Eleven Australia and Lust both offer travel duos.
Which volumising duos and trios do you sell?
There are duos from Eleven Australia, Kevin Murphy, Davines, Goldwell, KMS, Olaplex, Echosline, Natural Look and more, plus trios from Bokka Botanika, DunGud, Natural Look and Decibel.
Which volumising shampoo makes a good gift?
Gift sets such as the Echosline Volume Gift Set Trio, Bokka Botanika Thikk Volume Gift Set and Nak Hair Signature Volume Duo are popular choices.
Is volumising shampoo safe for keratin-treated hair?
Use a sulfate-free volumiser to help a smoothing treatment last, and check with your stylist about the best aftercare.
Is volumising shampoo suitable for curly hair?
Fine curls can benefit from a light volumiser, but most curly hair prefers moisturising formulas. Try our Curly Hair Shampoo collection.
