The woman accepted online forum Mumsnet to reveal how she discovered the ‘new trick that actually 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 every product to get some volume and make it easier to style.
‘I’ve finally found a trick that works.
“This past week I sprayed the roots of my hair with spray mousse, then blow-dried my hair from the bottom up, concentrating on the roots with a brush until it was almost dry, and then continued blow-drying as usual.
“I can’t tell you the difference it has made to my hair; it looks fat, it moves, it has a lot of body.
“I’m so happy so I thought I’d share it with you all.”
Many people rushed to the comments section to share their thoughts.
One asked: “What brand of mouse did you use.
“I’m interested that your hair still moves.
“I discovered I had the volume, but it looks like I had a shampoo and set from the 60s!”
To which the beauty fan replied: “I use Lee Stafford spray mouse, divide my hair into sections and spray a small amount on the roots.
“If I applied it all over, I think my hair would feel stiff because it’s quite strong.”
Another also suggested: “Shrinking at the roots also adds volume.”

And someone else said: “I flip my head upside down to blow-dry my hair and then use the blowdryer at the roots.
“Stand up straight and complete the blow-dry in an upright position.”
While a Mumsnet user also said: “Someone in another post recommended rinsing with Epsom salts to soften the water, so I’m going to try that too.
“Thin fine hair is shit.”
Hair loss 101
HER pro Samantha Cusick has revealed everything you need to know about hair loss.
Why does hair loss happen?
Hair loss can be affected by so many factors, from genetics and hormone changes to lifestyle choices.
Stress, diet and even hair care habits can all affect hair strength.
It’s completely normal to lose some hair every day, but sometimes the body can lose more hair than normal in response to things like hormonal shifts or even life stressors.
Why it happens more often this time of year
Have you ever noticed that your hair seems to fall out more in the fall? That’s a season’s loss!
During summer, we retain extra hair to protect our scalp from the sun.
As the weather cools, it’s as if our bodies are recalibrating and letting go of those extra strands.
Dry, cooler air can also make hair more brittle, making it easier to lose some extra volume during these months.
Hacks and Affordable Buys to Treat Hair Loss
The great news? You don’t have to spend a fortune on expensive treatments to support your hair.
Try daily scalp massages. They are so simple, but really help stimulate blood flow to the follicles.
Castor oil is another fantastic, budget-friendly option that is rich in nutrients to strengthen your strands.
Adding some more protein to your diet and a biotin supplement can also do wonders for overall hair health.
Products to avoid
Stay away from products with high alcohol, sulfates and parabens; these can dry out and damage the hair over time.
Heat styling and chemical treatments can also cause breakage, so try to use them sparingly.
Instead, look for gentle, moisturizing formulas to support your scalp and keep hair healthier throughout the seasons.
