Who Is It Best For?
This set is particularly well suited to fine, thinning, ageing or low-density hair that needs greater fullness and body. Kevin Murphy specifically recommends PLUMPING.WASH, PLUMPING.RINSE and BODY.MASS together for fine, thinning and ageing hair. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="1"}
If your hair is naturally fine and flat but you are not concerned about thinning, Kevin Murphy ANGEL may be the lighter volume-focused system. If noticeable thinning or reduced density is the primary concern, PLUMPING is the more targeted Kevin Murphy choice.
How to Use the PLUMPING System
Step 1 – Cleanse: Apply PLUMPING.WASH to wet hair and gently massage through the hair and scalp. Rinse thoroughly.
Step 2 – Condition: Apply PLUMPING.RINSE to freshly washed hair. Allow it to absorb for 1–2 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="2"}
Step 3 – Thicken: Towel-dry, then spray BODY.MASS evenly through damp hair, concentrating on the roots and scalp. Do not rinse. Dry and style as usual. BODY.MASS also provides heat protection up to 420°F / 216°C. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="3"}
Step 4 – Protect: Use HEATED.DEFENSE when additional dedicated heat protection is wanted before blow-drying or hot-tool styling.
Compare Kevin Murphy Volume & Thickening Systems
Choose PLUMPING when your priorities are thinning, reduced density, ageing hair and creating thicker, fuller-looking strands. This is Kevin Murphy's dedicated THICKENING regimen.
Choose Kevin Murphy ANGEL.WASH + ANGEL.RINSE when your hair is primarily fine, delicate or easily weighed down and lightweight volume is more important than a density-focused routine.
Add Kevin Murphy BODY.BUILDER when you want even more all-over styling volume, body and bounce from a mousse.
Add Kevin Murphy POWDER.PUFF when you want targeted dry root lift and texture after styling.
Fine Hair vs. Thinning Hair
Fine hair refers to the diameter of each individual strand. Thinning hair refers to reduced overall hair density. Someone can have naturally fine hair without experiencing thinning.
For naturally fine hair needing lightweight volume, ANGEL is an excellent Kevin Murphy option. For fine hair combined with thinning, reduced density or age-related changes, PLUMPING provides the more targeted regimen.
