Ever wondered why your hair sometimes feels flat or limp? You might have fine hair – and don’t worry, you’re not alone.

We are here to break it all down and share some easy tips to help you show your fine hair the love it deserves.

Fine hair vs. thin hair

First off, let’s clear something up. Fine hair and thin hair aren’t the same thing, though people often mix them up.

Fine Hair: This is about the thickness of each strand. If you have fine hair, your individual strands are smaller in diameter, meaning they’re thinner and more delicate.

But here’s the twist – you might still have a lot of these fine strands, giving you a full head of hair that just happens to be finer in texture.

Thin Hair: This has to do with how much hair you have. If you have thin hair, you have fewer strands overall, but those individual strands might actually be thick. This can make your scalp more visible, especially when your hair is wet or styled flat.

“Knowing the difference helps you choose the right products and techniques for your hair type,”

“If you’re not sure about your hair type, ask your stylist – we’re here to help.”

Caring for fine hair

Now that we’ve cleared that up, let’s talk care. Fine hair needs a little extra attention to keep it looking bouncy and full. Here are some simple ways to give it a boost:

Try a volumising shampoo

One of the biggest complaints I hear about fine hair is that it can look flat and lifeless.

Volumising shampoos are a game-changer. They‘re designed to plump up your strands and leave your hair feeling light and airy. My go-to is https://www.lorealprofessionnel.co.uk/all-products/hair-care/volumetry-anti-gravity-push-up-effect-shampoo, which works wonders.

The right conditioner for fine hair

Too much conditioner, and your hair gets weighed down. The trick? Only apply conditioner to the ends and rinse thoroughly. I recommend, https://www.lorealprofessionnel.co.uk/all-products/hair-care/pro-longer-conditionner which is super hydrating without being heavy.

Dry shampoo is your bestie

Dry shampoo is a lifesaver for fine hair. Not only does it help keep your hair looking fresh between washes, but it also adds much-needed texture and volume. Keep a bottle of https://www.lorealprofessionnel.co.uk/all-products/hair-styling/savage-panache on hand.

Detangle gently

Fine hair tangles easily, and tugging can cause breakage. Use a wide-tooth comb to carefully detangle your hair, starting at the ends, or you can use a Tangle Brush like this one https://www.oliviagarden.eu/en/catalog/hairbrushes/essential/essential-care-flex/ it is great on wet and dry hair.

And here’s a bonus tip: sleeping on a satin or silk pillowcase can help prevent tangles overnight, and also cares for your face – keeping lines and creases at bay, Like this one http://LilySilk 1PC Silk Pillowcase for Hair and Skin, 19 Momme 100% Mulberry Silk with Cotton Underside, Soft Hypoallergenic Silk Bed Pillow Case with Hidden Zipper Bag Package(Standard 50x75cm, Taupe) https://amzn.eu/d/eezoXDo

Always use heat protectant

Heat styling can be harsh on fine hair, so never skip a heat protectant when using hot tools. I like https://www.lorealprofessionnel.co.uk/all-products/hair-care/metal-detox-oil. It protects your strands from damage and keeps your hair looking its best.

Apply products wisely

When using styling products, less is more. Start at the ends and work your way up. Too much product at the roots can make your hair look greasy. Use a lightweight root lift spray like https://www.lorealprofessionnel.co.uk/all-products/hair-care/volumetry-anti-gravity-mattefying-volume-spray to add volume without weighing your hair down.

Don’t overbrush

One of the biggest mistakes with fine hair make is over-brushing, especially when blow-drying. Too much brushwork can make your hair appear even flatter.

When blow-drying, rough-dry your hair with your hands until it’s about 90% dry before using a brush. And remember, rough-drying doesn’t mean being rough – be gentle to avoid breakage.

Choose the right hairstyle

Finally, don’t underestimate the power of a good haircut. Your stylist can suggest cuts to add volume and make your hair look fuller.
