When it comes to beauty, we tend to want what we don't have. People with a lot and volume in their hair crave less bushy and finer hair. However, those with fine hair yearn for a mane worthy of a lion. For this reason, the latter strive every day to create the most voluminous effect possible in their hair care routine, as well as when styling their hair.
Although genetics and gravity have endowed you with fine, limp hair without volume, you don't have to resign yourself. There are many simple tricks and techniques with which to reshape your hair so that it looks thicker, with movement and body. You won't work a miracle, but you will get more flattering hair with a feeling of volume by changing a few products, choosing a good haircut and adopting the following tips.
The key to showing off volume hair starts in the shower. If you have fine hair, avoid thick products. Make sure that both your shampoo, conditioner and mask are specific for fine hair.
Apply the shampoo to your scalp and massage it in to give volume. You must rinse all the products well, as the remains of these in the hair will leave it more weighed down.
This simple trick will make a world of difference. Put your head down and dry your hair like this. Wait until it cools down to get up and do it with a flick of your hair back. You can also dry your hair built-in, but directing the heat of the dryer from bottom to top. To seal this effect, apply hairspray all over your hair, but always at a safe distance so that it doesn't get stiff.
The haircut will be your best ally to give volume to the hair. Avoid straight cuts and long hair, because the weight will not play in your favor. Instead, choose to wear a medium or short hair. Ask your stylist for a well-structured layered cut to give it body and structure.
As for the highlights, they have the power to create the optical effect of having more volume in the hair. To do this, you must apply touches of color strategically distributed throughout the strands, so that the lighter tones and the reflection of light simulate a thicker hair.
Instead of always parting your hair in the same position, alternate its distribution and comb your hair to the opposite side. You will see how this affects a greater volume and, above all, movement and body in your hair.
On the market you will find an endless number of products that will thicken your hair, such as specific serums or mists for fine hair. Dry shampoo also fulfills the function of giving volume to the hair. Work it under your strands, then massage with your fingers to remove debris and add texture.
