A head full of thick hair looks beautiful. Unfortunately, many women are not blessed with thick locks, but rather have thin strands that look dull and lifeless. If you have fine hair, you probably struggle to style it and make it look fuller. Here are some tips to help your fine hair look fuller.
How to Wash and Condition Your Hair
Don’t wash your hair every day because this can dry it out and make it look flat and dull. Washing every other day will make your hair look fuller at the roots. You can use dry shampoo in between washes.
Choose a shampoo that will stimulate the follicles in your scalp. Work it in by massaging your scalp to stimulate blood flow. Some conditioners, such as ones labeled “hydrating” or “smoothing,” have oils that can weigh down your hair and prevent it from getting more volume. Avoid conditioners with these words on the label.
How to Dry and Style Your Hair
Before you blow-dry your hair, spray it with a heat protectant. Flip your head over and blow-dry your hair with a round brush. When it is no longer damp, flip your head over again and dry your hair in sections. Put a diffuser on the end of the hair dryer to give your hair more volume.
After you blow-dry your hair, set the front in Velcro rollers and clips for 20 minutes to give your hair more volume. Then remove the rollers and lightly tease the hair at the crown of your head.
After you tease your hair, use a small amount of mousse or spray root lifter to keep your roots up. Be careful not to use too much product because it can weigh down your hair.
If you like to use hairspray, look for one with thickening or volumizing agents. This will make your fine hair look fuller and set your hairstyle.
Brushing your hair too often can stimulate oils in the scalp, which can make your hair look flat. If you need to fix your hair and remove tangles, use a wide-toothed comb.
