Aesop Volumizing Shampoo for Thin or Fine Hair — 500 mL, Lightweight Lift & Botanical Shine

Aesop Volumizing Shampoo is a plant-forward lifting shampoo designed to add noticeable body and separation to thin or fine hair while imparting shine and a refreshing herbal scent.

This formulation combines Polyquaternium 67 to encourage subtle shaft separation with botanical extracts such as fennel seed, peppermint leaf and rosemary leaf. The result is a lightweight cleanse that targets limp hair without weighing strands down, while botanical oils deliver hydration and a polished finish. The scent profile is minty and herbaceous, and the product is presented in a bottle composed of at least 97% recycled plastic.

How does this shampoo create volume without stiffening hair?

Rather than coating strands with heavy silicones, the formula uses Polyquaternium 67 to gently separate hair fibers, encouraging lifted movement. Botanical oils condition without buildup, helping hair keep a natural, flexible finish.

• Polyquaternium 67 promotes strand separation for root lift.
• Lightweight botanical oils add moisture without weight.
• Sulfate-free cleansing feel that preserves texture and movement.

Will this suit thin or fine hair day-to-day?

Yes—it's tailored for hair types that need body and bounce. The lift-focused chemistry and non-greasy conditioning agents make it suitable for regular use, especially when paired with a compatible lightweight conditioner.

• Formulated specifically for fine, limp or thin hair.
• Rinses clean to avoid residue that flattens hair.
• Mint and rosemary offer a refreshing scalp sensation.

What are the key ingredients and what do they do?

Fennel seed, peppermint leaf and rosemary leaf are the botanical highlights, chosen for sensory and scalp-refreshing properties. Polyquaternium 67 is the functional polymer that helps create visible separation and lift.

• Fennel seed — supports a bright, herbaceous aroma.
• Peppermint leaf — cools and invigorates the scalp.
• Rosemary leaf — contributes a fresh, green note and clarity to scent.

How should I use it for best results?

Start by brushing dry hair to remove tangles, then wet thoroughly before applying shampoo. Massage gently at the scalp to lift roots, rinse completely, and follow with a lightweight conditioner if extra softness is needed.

• Brush hair dry to detangle prior to wetting.
• Apply to wet hair, focusing on the scalp and roots.
• Rinse fully and style while damp for added lift.

Who is this for: Aesop Volumizing Shampoo is intended for anyone with thin, fine or limp hair seeking a cleaner that enhances body and shine without heavy residues. It suits those who prefer botanical scents and sustainably minded packaging, including vegans and shoppers avoiding parabens and animal-derived ingredients.
