The Best Ways To Add Volume To Fine Hair
Having fine hair is honestly no big deal – until we see all those Instagram models and pageant contestants fabulously showing off their huge, wavy locks to the crowd’s delight, that is. Or, come on, let’s just face it: every time we see some random girl walking down the street with her entire crowning glory sexily swaying behind here. That’s something us fine-haired girls can never relate to.
If you’ve got fine hair, then don’t worry, we totally understand your pain! But you should also know that it’s not something that you should be forced to endure. And nope, we’re not talking about hair treatments that cost a fortune. We’re talking about simple things that every other girl can do, starting today.
In this article, we’ll discuss the best ways to add volume to fine hair, without having to break the bank!
1. Get a new haircut
A new haircut may seem counterproductive, but the thing is, a good haircut can be pretty life-changing, especially if you're trying to make your hair look different. Believe it or not, there are some haircuts that can make your hair look flat and, on the other sid of things, some haircuts that can make your hair look instantly thicker.
One good example of hairstyles that can make your hair look thicker is the layered hairstyle.
From its name alone, a layered hairstyle adds layers to your strands, thus making your overall hair look much thicker than it really is. If you don't want to make it too obvious, you can also use more subtle layers towards the bottom part of your hair. It can even frame your face and accentuate your features more. Win-win, right?
2. Use volumizing shampoo
While you're free to use all kinds of shampoos, there are some that can do the job better than others. This is especially true if there's something specific that you want to achieve with your locks.
For example, if you want to add volume to fine hair, one of the best ways to do that slowly but surely is by using volumizing shampoo. True to its name, it adds volume to your hair just by fluffing your individual strands up, thus making your hair look so much thicker.
What exactly makes these shampoos so special? Unlike other shampoos, they don't contain any heavy ingredients that can weigh your hair down, which means they clean your hair without leaving much residue.
3. Switch up your diet
Your hair is greatly affected by your diet, which means that if you're not eating well, then your hair could also suffer.
Make sure to get plenty of protein, vitamin E, and biotin in your diet for the best results. These vitamins and nutrients are absolutely helpful in growing thicker hair as they promote healthy hair growth on your scalp. You can get them from common foods like eggs, fish, nuts, and many more.
Of course, this doesn't mean that you'll magically have thick hair if you start eating these foods, but it certainly won't help if you eat junk foods all day every day when you already have fine, thin hair.
4. Air-dry your hair
It's no secret that many people blow-dry their hair every day – more likely for those who need to get to work in less than half an hour. After all, letting it dry all on its own just takes way too much time.
However, air-drying your hair could actually have some benefits, especially if you're someone who has naturally fine hair.
For one, air-drying your hair makes it much smoother than if you had dried it using a hot tool. That's because it doesn't damage your strands, unlike your favorite heated blower. Just don't let your hair stay wet for hours at a time, as that could be quite damaging too.
5. Wear hair extensions
Last but definitely not the least, if you really want to get instant volume, your best bet would be to wear hair extensions. Extensions can instantly change your hairstyle, making it much thicker and even changing the color if you want to.
