LIFESTYLE NEWS - We all have different types of hair. Those with fine hair know how hard it is to give it volume.
There are a few simple things you can do to prevent your hair from looking too flat and lifeless.
Here are our top tips to take care of fine hair and help boost volume:
1. Wash your hair often
Fine hair tends to get weighed down quickly, which is why it needs to be washed often. Washing it prevents it from being flat and gives it that much needed volume. Use volumising shampoo that is specifically for fine hair. Also use conditioners that are for your type of hair, to ensure you get good results.
2. Blow-dry it
Always blow-dry your hair after washing it, this helps give it volume and bounce.
3. Avoid oily hair products
Avoid hair products that are too oily and will make your hair even more flat. Rather choose products that will keep your hair moisturised without weighing it down.
4. Try making it shorter
One way to make your hair appear thicker is to cut it shorter, which makes it appear to have more volume and bounce.
5. Avoid over-styling
When you have fine hair, you must avoid over-styling it. This is because over-styling it can cause it to appear thinner.
