Caring for fine hair can be a tough task. Little tips and tricks that work wonders on normal to thick hair—sleeping in a braid to create texture, scrunching hair with mousse for a quick tousled, beachy look—often don’t work so well for fine hair. Getting gorgeous volume takes a bit more effort if your hair is thin and fine, but it can be done.
Here are 7 secrets every fine-haired girl needs to know to avoid damage and maximize volume:
-
Boost your volume with a root lift spray. Fine hair often suffers from lack of volume, which can make it appear flat and limp. Combat deflated roots with Goldwell Double Boost Root Lift Spray.
-
Don’t over-condition. Too much conditioner can weigh down fine hair, especially if you apply it heavily to your scalp. Try applying label.m Thickening Conditioner only to your ends every other time you wash your hair.
-
Avoid your roots when using most products. Other than root lift sprays, styling products should be applied starting at your ends to avoid dragging your hair down.
-
Get an appropriate haircut for your hair type. If you have long hair, adding layers will help give your hair a volume boost. Short cuts, like a pixie cut or a bob, are also good options for fine-haired girls.
-
Go easy on the heat. Blow drying your hair or using other hot styling tools can leave fine hair dry and lead to breakage. If you have the time, try to let your hair air dry as much as possible before you use your styling tools, and when you do use them try to use a lower heat setting.
-
Give your hair a pick-me-up with a texture spray. Alterna Bamboo Style Boho Waves Tousled Texture Mist is a perfect lightweight option for adding texture to fine hair without overwhelming it.
-
Use a strong hold hairspray when you style. If you go to the effort to style your hair with curls or an updo, don’t let it go to waste by forgetting the hairspray. Use a strong hold spray that will make your style last all day, like It’s a 10 Miracle Super Hold Finishing Hair Spray.
Getting the volume and style you want can be a challenge for the fine-haired female, but with a little dedication you can achieve it. Have a fine-haired tip that really works?
