I second the vote for Guts.  I am 69, fine hair, now thinning.  This stuff has been a lifesaver for me.  I also use Kenra 25 hair spray, and between the two, my hair looks uch better.  Good luck on finding something that works for you.  None of the shampoos ever did me any good.

I swear by Thicker Fuller Hair - Shampoo, Conditioner, Thickening Serum.  I've used it for years and the only thing that works.

I wash my hair everyday - but only have to use this about every two or three days.

I heard about a trick on a web site and tried, so simple, and after trying it for two weeks I have noticed a difference, wash hair with creme rinse then shampoo, that's it, try it

I too have fine, thin, short hair.

My last try after multiple others was the Nick Chavez Plump & Thick products, shampoo and leave-in thickening spray. I initially thought it might be having some effect, but realized it really wasn't. 

It might make a difference how long your hair is and what you do (blow dry, brush/iron, etc) to it for styling whether the products produce a visual difference. On my short hair nothing worked any better than any random styling spray.

I have thickening shampoos and volume shampoos but the best product I use is Aquage thickening spray gel.  I wear my hair short too and this spray gel really works plus it's not sticky and rinses out (no build up).  You can buy at salons that carry Aquage products or find it on EBay.  It should run around $18 a bottle which will last a long, long time.

KatCat1--have used thickening gels in the past...all I get is a holding gel look...does this particular gel make your hair look thicker, or just act like a holding gel.....thanks for your help...

Have you ever tried a shot of dry shampoo especially at your temples?

I've used a brand that I can't think of the name of for the life of me (Kenra maybe?).

But when I've used it, it makes my fine hair tooooo thick.

Ojon used to make a really good one, not sure if they still do.

• I recently started using Pantene Pro V Age Defy shampoo,, conditioner, and Advanced Thickening Treatment.  Am seeing a big difference in my hair which is grey, short, and thinning.

This shampoo did add volume for me.  Never tried the conditioner.

@rosie03, do you mean use conditioner first, then shampoo? Or is creme rinse something different? And do you not condition after your shampoo? Details, please! Thanks.

I'm 62 and have baby fine, thin hair. I wear it short too.  I use KMS Texturizing shampoo or Paul Mitchell Clarifying 3 shampoo.  They are nothing alike but both seem to make my hair feel a little thicker.   I towel dry and spray KMS Texture spray on the roots and then rub it around so it is on all my hair.  I work parttime now and if I'm scheduled, I use a small dab of Joico Firm gel, rub it on my hands and then only on the roots of the bangs and the crown.   

I never ever use conditioner.  When your hair is short, you have a lesser chance of dry ends etc.  And conditioner will only soften your hair which is the opposite of what you want.

When you blow dry/style your hair, do NOT use a brush once you start blow drying.  The more you brush/comb, the softer your hair becomes and you lose whatever body and help the products gave you.  I might touch up a couple of spots with a brush after blow drying but my hair doesn't need more than that.
