3 Dollar Tree Products for Thinning Hair and Extra Volume—$1.25 Shampoos and Thickening Oils Women Are Raving About
Affordable haircare products that rival some of the most expensive volumizing brands
Hair thinning can be frustrating to manage, but it’s also incredibly common—particularly for women in midlife. In fact, experts estimate that nearly 40% of women experience noticeable hair thinning by age 50. Hormonal changes, stress, genetics and styling habits can all play a role, leaving many women searching for ways to restore fullness and volume.
The good news: there are more solutions than ever. From volumizing shampoos to nourishing hair oils, today’s products are designed to help strengthen strands and create the appearance of thicker, fuller hair.
That said, experimenting with new products can quickly become expensive—especially when you’re still figuring out what works best for your hair. Fortunately, you don’t have to spend a fortune to see results. Even budget-friendly retailers like Dollar Tree offer surprisingly effective options for boosting volume and supporting thinning hair—and the best part is that many cost just $1.25 each.
Here, a look at some of the best Dollar Tree finds that can help give fine or thinning hair a fuller look without stretching your budget.
VIA Natural Oils at Dollar Tree nourish scalp and strengthen strands
Dollar Tree also carries VIA Natural Oils for $1.25 each, an affordable line designed to support healthier-looking hair. The store typically offers three options—Jamaican Black Castor Oil, Coconut Oil and Tea Tree Oil—and each serves a different purpose when it comes to caring for thinning or fragile strands.
Jamaican Black Castor Oil is often used to help nourish the scalp and strengthen hair, which may reduce breakage and support the appearance of fuller strands over time. Coconut Oil is a popular choice for deep moisture, helping smooth and condition dry or brittle hair so it looks softer and shinier. Meanwhile, Tea Tree Oil is known for its refreshing, clarifying properties that can help keep the scalp feeling clean, balanced and may help control dandruff.
One review for the Coconut Oil reads, “I use this a few times a month as a deep conditioning hot oil… I leave it on a few hours then wash as normal, sometimes I shampoo twice, and my hair is soft and shiny afterwards.”

VO5 Extra Body shampoo and conditioner help boost volume
Looking for a shampoo and conditioner duo that helps hair look fuller and healthier? Dollar Tree carries the Extra Body line from Alberto VO5, including a shampoo and conditioner priced at just $1.25 each. The formulas are infused with collagen, a structural protein that plays an important role in supporting hair strength and resilience.
Collagen contains key amino acids that help support keratin, the primary protein that makes up hair strands. These amino acids can help reinforce the hair shaft, improving elasticity and reducing the likelihood of breakage—two factors that can make thinning hair appear even more sparse. The result: strands that feel stronger and appear fuller, with added body and bounce—making this budget-friendly duo a simple way to support healthier-looking hair without overspending.
“I’m glad I took a chance because this shampoo is really good,” one review reads. “It not only smells great (I constantly get compliments on how good my hair smells) but my hair is getting stronger. I have less hair loss when I brush and I’m getting body back.”
Softee Thickening Growth Oil supports healthier, fuller-looking hair
Dollar Tree also carries Softee Thickening Growth Oil for just $1.25. The formula features nourishing ingredients such as shea butter, olive oil and vitamins A, D3 and E, which help moisturize the scalp, strengthen strands and protect hair from damage that can lead to breakage and visible thinning. By improving scalp health and reinforcing fragile hair fibers, these nutrients can help hair appear thicker, shinier and more manageable over time.
