Hello to all the owners of beautiful, yet fine hair. This post is prepared specially for you so from now on you will know how to arrange fine hair to boost its volume. Are you curious to learn my fine hair tips? If so, enjoy reading this post.
This may be surprising for you but there are many ladies out there with fine hair. Please, don’t let this make you feel depressed! Here’s how you can cope with fine hair.
A few words on fine hair
How can you tell that your hair is fine? This is volume-deprived hair that, at the very first glimpse, looks weak. This may also mean that your hair is normal in terms of thickness, but there may be too few of it. By definition, fine hair has 25% less body (is narrower, or has a smaller diameter) than a regular hair.
What’s important to realize, you can’t change your hair thickness. Of course, there are people who consider keratin build-up as an extra hair layer… However, fine hair owners must get used to the fact that adding body to their strands is impossible.
In such case, the only way to create the impression of thicker hair is by arranging it in such a way to make it look as if there was more of it, which is feasible. And I’m the living proof of it 🙂
The deadly sin of fine hair owners – Using too much hair styling products
I’d like to start by asking you one simple question: Do you know what is the biggest and the most common fine hair care mistake?
Using too much hair styling products. What you really achieve is volume-deprived hair that isn’t as manageable as you expect it to be. Sadly, when coated with a heavy load of styling products, hair becomes flat. Unfortunately, many of us keep repeating this mistake unconsciously. Since hair styling products’ task is to lift hair roots, boost volume and define the curl, than we are convinced that we will achieve better results when applying more of them. As a consequence, the strands are overburdened and hair roots gets oily twice as fast.
From now on, please keep in mind that if your hair is fine, you should cut down on using hair styling products – this will do you nothing but good.
Other sins. What shouldn’t you do to fine hair?
Naturally, reducing the amount of hair care products is just a top of the iceberg. When it comes to fine hair care, well, there are more mistakes to make. Let me put it in the simplest way possible. Just stop doing the following things 🙂
Common fine hair care mistakes:
- using a flat iron
- dyeing hair (especially dark colors)
- even hair color
- application of hair care products with silicones
- using notching shears to trim hair
Everything you do to fine hair should lead to creating an impression of intensified volume.Therefore, don’t use notching shears – after all, you want to get thicker hair, right? Don’t straighten the strands because curls offer you more voluminous hair. Refrain from using silk and conditioners with silicones because you don’t want to smooth the hair out. Finally, choose light colors because they create the effect of thicker hair.
Simple? Indeed! 🙂
The perfect hairdo for fine hair
It’s time to focus on the hairdos suitable for fine hair owners. By now, you know that straight hair is something that you should avoid. So what are your other options?
- LENGTH – fine hair looks good when it isn’t too long. It shouldn’t reach further than shoulders.
- SHAPE – as mentioned above, fine hair should be curly because this gives you the volume you look for. Subtle waves should also do the trick.
- COLOR – light colors suit fair hair better than darker ones. In general, dark browns make hair look flat.
As my final words, I’m going to tell you a few things about the best hairdos for fine hair. I’ve tested some of them and to be honest I have to tell you that bob is the most suitable hairstyle if your hair is naturally deprived of volume and body. No matter if you go for classic bob, blunt bob, long bob or shaggy bob – just choose one and ask your hairdresser to arrange it. Once you have it, use a big round brush while blow drying. Actually, I’d also advise you to make use of hair mousse since this styling product helps keeping fine hair more voluminous, especially at roots.
Give it a try! 🙂
