The woman took to online forum Mumsnet to reveal how she discovered the “new trick that really works.”
She now wants to share it with others who have thin or fine hair.
The hair fan wrote: “My hair has always been baby fine, it’s a short (almost chin length) bob and I’ve literally tried all the products to get some volume and make it easier to style.
“I’ve finally found a trick that works.
“For the past week I’ve been spraying the roots of my hair with spray mousse, then blow drying my hair upwards from underneath focusing on the roots with a brush until it’s nearly dry, then finishing blow drying it in the usual way.
“I can’t tell you the difference it’s made to my hair, it looks thick, it moves, it has loads of body.
“I’m so so happy, so I thought I would share it with you all.”
Many people rushed to the comments section to share their thoughts.
One asked: “What brand mouse have you been using.
“Interested that your hair still moves.
“I found I got the volume, but it looks like I’d had a 1960s shampoo and set!”
To which the beauty fan replied with: “I use Lee Stafford spray mouse, section my hair up and just spray a small amount on the roots.
“If I put it all over, I think my hair would feel stiff as it’s quite strong.”
Another also suggested: “Crimping at the roots will also give volume.”

And someone else said: “I trip my head upside down to blow dry my hair, then using the hairdryer at the roots.
“Stand up straight and finish the blow dry upright.”

Whilst a Mumsnet user also said: “Someone on another post recommended rinsing with Epsom salts to make the water softer so am going to give that a go as well.
“Thin fine hair is shit.”
Hair Loss 101
HAIR pro Samantha Cusick has revealed everything you need to know about hair loss.
Why Does Hair Loss Happen?
Hair loss can be influenced by so many factors, from genetics and hormone changes to lifestyle choices.
Stress, diet, and even hair care habits can all impact hair strength.
It’s perfectly normal to lose some hair each day, but sometimes the body can shed more than usual, responding to things like hormonal shifts or even life stressors.
Why It Happens More This Time of Year
Have you ever noticed your hair seems to shed more in autumn? That’s seasonal shedding!
During summer, we hold onto extra hair to protect our scalp from the sun.
As the weather cools, it’s like our body recalibrates and lets go of those extra strands.
Dry, cooler air can also make hair more brittle, making it easier to lose a little extra volume during these months.
Hacks and Affordable Buys to Treat Hair loss
The great news? You don’t need to spend a fortune on pricey treatments to support your hair.
Try daily scalp massages—they’re so simple but really help boost blood flow to the follicles.
Castor oil is another fantastic, budget-friendly option that’s rich in nutrients to strengthen your strands.
Adding a bit more protein to your diet and a biotin supplement can also work wonders for overall hair health.
Products to Avoid
Steer clear of products with high levels of alcohol, sulphates, and parabens – they can be drying and damage hair over time.
Heat styling and chemical treatments can also cause breakage, so try to use them sparingly.
Instead, look for gentle, hydrating formulas to support your scalp and keep hair healthier through the seasons.
