How to Make Hair Look Fuller with Densifying Shampoo 

Sometimes hair can start to look thin or flat, even if you haven’t lost any hair. This happens because of things like: 

  • Oil building up near the scalp 
  • Dust and product residue making hair stick together 
  • Hair strands becoming dry or weak, so they don’t hold shape 
  • Very fine hair strands that are naturally small and light 
  • Hair breakage, which makes the ends look lighter and less full 

When hair strands stick together, the hair looks like it has less volume — kind of like spaghetti noodles clumped together. 

When hair strands separate and stand a bit apart, hair looks fuller, like a fluffy cloud. 

Densifying shampoo helps with this look. 

 Not by adding more hair — but by helping each strand look and feel more “present.” 

 

How Densifying Shampoo Makes Hair Look Fuller 

Here is the simple idea, step-by-step: 

  1. It Cleans the Scalp Well

When the scalp is fresh and clean: 

  • Hair lifts away from the scalp 
  • Instead of lying flat and oily 

This gives a lighter, airier appearance. 

  1. It Washes Off Buildup

Hair products (like conditioner, spray, serums) can leave a thin coating. 

 Too much coating makes hair look: 

  • Heavy 
  • Stuck together 
  • Flat 

Densifying shampoo helps remove that extra weight, so hair can move freely again. 

  1. It Helps Each Strand Feel a Bit Stronger

Some densifying shampoos use ingredients like: 

  • Biotin 
  • Proteins / Keratin 
  • Amino acids 
  • Plant extracts 

These do not make hair grow, but they can help hair feel: 

  • Smoother 
  • Slightly firmer 
  • Less floppy 

When strands are a bit stronger, they stand up better — which makes the hair look fuller. 

  1. It Helps Hair Strands Separate

When hair strands are separate (not clumped together), they take up more space — making hair look: 

  • Puffier 
  • Thicker 
  • More “awake” 

This is the “fullness” effect that densifying shampoo is designed to support. 

 

So Why Recommend Viviscal Gorgeous Growth Densifying Shampoo? 

Now that you understand what a densifying shampoo does, 

 Viviscal Gorgeous Growth Densifying Shampoo fits this purpose very well because: 

  • It cleans the scalp thoroughly without stripping it dry 
  • It’s lightweight, so hair doesn’t feel heavy 
  • It contains biotin and keratin, which help hair feel stronger and smoother 
  • It helps strands separate and lift, which makes hair appear fuller 

Picture this: 

Before: 

 Hair is oily → strands stick together → hair looks flat and thin. 

After using densifying shampoo: 

 Hair feels clean → strands stand apart → hair looks fuller and more bouncy. 

Not more hair. 

 Just hair that looks and behaves more like you want it to. 

 

Who Is It Best For? 

Viviscal Gorgeous Growth Densifying Shampoo is great if you: 

  • Have fine, thin, or flat hair 
  • Have hair that gets oily fast 
  • Want your ponytail to look fuller 
  • Want a shampoo that feels gentle and fresh 

If your goal is long-term hair strength, you can also pair it with Viviscal Hair Growth Supplements — but the shampoo alone already helps with visible fullness. 

 

How to Use Densifying Shampoo (Step-By-Step) 

  1. Wet your hair completely — warm water works best. 
  2. Put a small amount of shampoo in your palm. 
  3. Massage the shampoo onto your scalp (this is important!). 
  4. Use fingers, not nails. 
  5. Work the foam down the hair, then rinse. 
  6. Apply conditioner to the ends only (not the scalp), and rinse. 
  7. Dry gently — don’t rub too hard with a towel. 


Tip:
 

The scalp massage step is the secret — it wakes up your hair roots.
