Naturally fine hair: how to tell if you have it?

First, fine hair is often so light when you hold it that you feel like you can't even feel it. It damages and gets greasy quickly. It has almost no volume and will often prevent you from styling it the way you want.

Do you want a voluminous and full hairstyle? To be honest, it's going to be tricky! Many factors can affect your mane if you have naturally fine hair. However, diet, lifestyle, and how you care for your hair are all elements not to be overlooked if you want to change things.

We advise you to make an appointment with a dermatologist who can truly offer you personalized help for your hair. While you wait for this appointment, or if you want to try to solve this problem alone, here are some important tips.

How to strengthen fine hair

There are many tips to improve things; it often involves giving up certain habits that are not suitable for your hair type.

Change your habits

  • Washing your hair every day. This is probably the most common mistake. If your hair gets greasy too quickly and you feel obliged to shampoo every day, there's probably a problem. Perhaps your type of care combined with the washing routine you subject your hair to is not the right one.
  • Brushing your hair every day. This is not really suitable for your hair type. If you absolutely must brush your hair, do it gently. It will take more time, but the result will be all the more remarkable! Don't hesitate to use your fingers sometimes.
  • Brushing your hair while it's still wet. This is even more problematic if you do this after a very hot shower. Your hair is already sensitive and wears out quickly, so we advise you to be gentler with it.
  • Unbalanced eating. In addition to improving your overall health and immune system, certain products will improve your hair. We are talking about proteins that will help improve keratin production. But also iron for a stronger and denser scalp. Not to mention zinc, which will allow keratin to synthesize better. This will then allow it to resist hair thinning even more.

Use more suitable products

  • Using shampoo for normal hair (or any other type than your own). You know your hair is fragile. You need to use suitable products, and shampoo is very important! We advise you to get a shampoo for fine hair.
  • Not using conditioner! Because you have sensitive hair, you'll have even more reason to pamper it!
  • Using oily and/or silicone-based products. You don't want to make your hair greasy or weigh it down. This will only worsen your situation. Turn to lighter products.

Hairstyles for fine hair

To visually reduce the impression of fine hair, here are some tips and hairstyles that will allow you to cheat.

  • Waves and movement that will give the illusion of more volume and hair mass. Little tip: braid your hair before going to sleep.
  • Dipped bobs (and almost all other bobs, for that matter) will give the impression of volume and lightness.
  • A messy braid will give a natural look in addition to offering the illusion of more volume.
  • A deep color that will make your hair appear thicker.
  • Dry wax allows you to style your hair and give the impression of having more thickness.
