Tips on How to Style Thin Fine Hair

Having Fine hair has its pros and cons. On one hand, it is easy to manage and you do not have to spend a lot of time blow-drying or styling it. On the other, it is not easy to style thin fine hair to add natural-looking volume. You need to learn how to make your thin hair look fuller.

There are a few tricks that you could use to give your hair some much-needed volume and avoid the droopy and listless look.

Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner

Hair care experts will tell you that setting volume for fine thin hair begins with shampooing. A volumizing shampoo and conditioner will start your hair off on the right path. Ensure that your shampoo has some moisturizing ingredient. Shampoos such as these are known to cause drying and will make your scalp work overtime to replace the oils lost.

Do not apply the conditioner to your scalp as it is only the hair that needs nourishment. The conditioner tends to glop on the roots thus contributing to grease. Your hair can go limp within hours if you use too much conditioner.

Apply a Volumizing Spray or Mousse

Ensure that your hair is wet before you apply mousse. You need a palm-sized dollop which you can comb through your hair from the roots to the ends. Do not slather the mousse on heavily. This will only add more weight to your hair and not give you a look of fullness.

Blow-Drying

This is necessary to activate the volumizing products you have used in your hair. If you skip the drier, the volumizing agents will not be activated and you will not get the results you desire. To escape that fresh polished blown-out look, use a good spray that contains moisturizer before blow-drying.

Do Not Use a Brush

You do not need any brushes or combs at this stage. Flip your head upside-down and do some rough drying. Use your hands instead of a brush. This helps to lift your roots and cuticles which aids in creating to volume.

When your hair is almost dry, flip it over again and use a ceramic brush to smooth out the ends and add some softness. Be gentle as pulling will only serve to flatten your hair out.

Set Hair with Rollers

Once the blow-drying session is over, section off some hair and roll it up in Velcro curlers. Go for the cool setting on the dryer to set and finish it off with a texturizing spray. Apply the spray from the roots in sections. You will find that when the style starts coming apart in the course of the day, all you will need to do is to flip your head, massage your scalp and work your hair up by fluffing it.

Ditch Your Hairspray

Hairspray and thin fine hair do not go well together. Instead, go for dry shampoo. It provides a better hold and volume that lasts long. You will not need to spray and brush your hair out to absorb oil as you normally would.

Highlights

Highlights can give your hair that full look by filling out your strands even without products. If there is a possibility for damage, mention it to your hairstylist.

Backcomb Your Hair at the Crown To Create the Illusion of Height

Using a fine-tooth plastic comb, lift your hair in small sections and backcomb each section two or three times. Spray with dry shampoo. Comb down the hair on top and smooth it down. The teasing becomes less visible that way.

A few other tricks you may want to try include having some dry shampoo in your bag for touch-ups whenever you need them. Also, do not shampoo every day. Three to four times a week is good enough and will help greatly in your quest for volume.

There are other ways aside from styling, blow drying and using products that can help with thin hair. You can use keratin fiber products that adhere to your natural hair strands and add volume. Hair 2.0 is a specially formulated product with natural keratin fibers.
