Easy Ways To Make Fine Hair Look Fuller

Here are some tried-and true tips on how to make fine and limp hair look fuller.

Choose The Right Shampoo

After years of trying out shampoo after shampoo that ended up with my fine hair looking flat and lifeless, I've come up with a Golden Rule: Always go for clear shampoos.

It doesn't matter if the bottle says 'volumizing', 'for colored hair', or whatever - it has to be clear. If it's milky or opaque in texture, or says 'moisturizing shampoo', it's likely to be too heavy for your hair. You could use these heavier shampoos, but make sure you skip conditioner afterwards (unless your hair is very damaged)

Choose The Right Conditioner

If you have very fine hair, it's best not to overcondition your hair. Heavy conditioners are the main culprit in making fine hair look flat and limp.

Look for lightweight formulas or detanglers. Avoid conditioners that use heavy moisturizing ingredients such as shea butter or oils - those formulations are better for thicker-haired girls.

When applying conditioner, apply only on the mid-lengths or ends of the hair.

Depending on the condition of your hair, you might want to skip daily conditioning altogether and just deep-condition your hair just once a week or once a fortnight.

Keep Your Scalp Clean

Keep your scalp clean by washing your hair regularly - either every day or every other day. An oily scalp can easily weigh down fine hair. Between washes, try dry shampoo or talcum powder on the roots of your hair to absorb excess oil.

Go Easy On The Styling Products

Too many hair products will weigh down fine hair. Avoid the use of heavy gels or serums. It's best to use only one product at a time.

Color Your Hair

Coloring your hair swells each individual hair shaft and adds body to your fine hair. What's even better, fine hair 'takes' color better than thicker hair.

Darker colors will make your hair look thicker while lighter colors will make it look thinner.

Try highlighting your hair - the right highlights can add dimension to your hair, making it look thicker and fuller.

Choose The Right Haircut

Keep your hair medium length (e.g shoulder-length). Fine hair is not suited for very long hairstyles.

Avoid cutting too many layers into your hair as it can make your fine hair look even thinner. Layers near the crown, however, can give lift to your hair.
