Fine hair seems like it would be easy to care for, but that's not always the case. Often, fine hair can become limp and lifeless without the proper care. With these tips on caring for fine hair though, you'll be able to style it easily!
To create volume, use a volumizing shampoo. These are formulated with ingredients that help lift the hair and add body. Some of the most common volumizing ingredients are:
One of the best ways to add volume is by using a volumizing mouse at the roots. This product is similar to a hair gel, but it's more lightweight and tends to give finer hair more lift. To use, apply a pea-sized amount of product on dry hair at the top of your head (where you want more volume). Then use your fingers or comb through from root to tip until evenly distributed throughout your strands!
The next step is to reduce the amount of conditioner you use. This will help your hair stay soft and manageable without weighing it down or making it look greasy. A volumizing conditioner is best for fine-haired people, as they add volume to thin strands without weighing them down. When choosing a volumizing product, look for one that contains ingredients like wheat proteins and keratin--these proteins help strengthen hair at the roots so it stands up better on its own (without causing frizz).
The next step is using just enough product in order to get maximum benefit without making your hair look oily or weighed down by too much moisture. Focus on applying the conditioner to the ends of your hair; then rinse with cold water to close up those cuticles so they don't absorb more moisture from anything else you put on top of them later in the day!
Trims are crucial for keeping fine hair healthy and looking good. You should get a cut every 4-6 weeks, as opposed to the six-week intervals that's recommended for medium or thick hair. A good stylist will know how to work with fine tresses, and can recommend styles that will best complement your face shape and personality. If you're not sure what would look best on you, don't be afraid to ask for advice!
Fine hair needs products that will help it hold a style without making it look weighted down and still keep frizz at bay. If you want to use heat tools on fine strands, make sure they're protected with heat protectant spray or cream before styling!
