fine hair care

Those who have fine hair know that the wires are more fragile and delicate, but they don’t have to be weak. In most cases, thin hair is genetic in origin or the result of problems such as hair loss.

As they break easily and tend to dry out more easily when receiving chemicals or by day-to-day aggressions such as sun and pollution, care for fine hair needs to be redoubled.

One of the main tips for those who have thin hair is not to bleach them, because that way, they would be even more “thin”. On the other hand, dyeing with dark tones, in some cases, helps to give the impression of thicker hair. It is also interesting to be careful with chemical procedures that reduce the volume of the wires, such as discoloration. If that’s not your goal, run away from these treatments.

Bath time care

When washing your hair, choose shampoos that are specific to your hair type. While in the shower, be very careful when running your fingers or combing your hair. Do it gently, with the help of the conditioner, applying it to the ends.

Dermatologist Daniela Hueb guides: “the ideal thing is that the shampoo is crystalline, without many moisturizers in the formulation. Avoid creamy shampoos, with excess substances to hydrate and restore the hair. Opt for shampoos suitable for fine hair and without volume. The ideal is to use little cosmetic to leave the hair light and gain volume.”

If your hair is already thin, the ideal thing is that you take care to avoid falling out and prevent the hair volume from getting even smaller.

To leave the strands loose, without the heavy aspect, use anti-residue shampoos every 15 days. If you do a progressive brush, talk to your hairdresser and ask if you can use the anti-residue, as some treatments come out with the deep cleaning shampoo.

Should I moisturize my hair?

Yea! One of the most important items on the thin hair care list is hydration, which should be done every 15 days. Products with keratin, shea butter and fruit oil are great for keeping hair strong and resilient.

What about the hairdryer and flat iron?

To use the dryer, set the device at not too high temperatures. Always start drying the hair from the roots to the ends, keeping the dryer at least three centimeters from the scalp.

Don’t forget to apply a heat protectant to prevent the heat of the dryer from harming the strands, and comb your hair carefully before drying it to prevent it from tangling. In the case of the flat iron, use it only when it is extremely necessary and if you shape the ends with the iron, seal them with a little argan oil.

No more tangled wires!

A vital care for the health and beauty of fine hair is to keep it free from tangles. Fine hair tangles easily and can break. To prevent this from happening, follow some precautions:

  • Avoid letting your hair down in the wind, pin it up partially or completely;
  • Don’t sleep with your hair down, secure it with a loose elastic or make a loose braid (so you don’t mark it too much);
  • Always comb your hair very carefully, avoiding forcing the comb to detangle;
  • Use hairspray with extreme caution, as the product generally dries out and can make hair knots even more difficult to remove.

Tips to add volume to fine hair

If your hair is thin and has little volume and you don’t like it that way, don’t worry, with a few tricks it’s possible to make even the thinnest strands full-bodied.

Mousse: The mousse is a great ally for those who want to add volume to their hair. Apply while hair is still wet and dry the strands with the hairdryer, with the head facing down. The result is subtle, but it helps to give body to the hair.

Curls + spray: This tip is for those who want diva hair. Make curls with the flat iron or the curling iron. After making each curl, apply the spray immediately before moving on to the next strand. When finished, lightly brush your curls and you will see that they will be unbelievably voluminous.

Modeling powder + topknot: If you think your hair is too “withered”, this tip is for you. Apply the styling powder to the root of the hair and make movements with your fingers to “lift” the root of the hair. Then, separate a section of the fringe to make the topknot, comb a little in the back towards the root, but do it carefully so as not to tangle too much. Pin the strand back, forming a topknot, and use 2 cross clips to hold the strand in place.
