subject: About Volume for Thin Hair [print this page] Not everyone is blessed with thick beautiful hair. People with thin hair have a very hard time styling it because most styles do not hold in thin hair. Also, thin hair tends to get limp which makes it look boring and unhealthy. Although you cannot change your hair type, there are some tips you can try that can give your hair volume and make them look thicker.
With thin hair, it is important to use a good volumizing shampoo and conditioner on a daily basis. These will infuse your hair with volume and texture and make then appear fuller. There are also many volumizing treatments available such as gels, mousses or sprays and you can easily find one for your hair type.
One way to create more volume in your hair is to curl it. If your hair is flat and limp you can use large sized rollers to give it more bounce and movement. If you are in a hurry and need a boost of volume, blow-dry your hair with your head upside down. Once your hair is dry, turn your head back up and use your fingers to set your hair in place. This will give your hair lift at the roots and will make them look fuller. You can also spray your roots with a medium hold hair spray to hold the style in place for a long time.
You can also get a perm to make your hair look thicker and fuller. There are different types of perms and you do not have to get the one with tight retro curls. Instead, get a body perm from a good salon and it will just add volume to your roots which will last for months.
Thin hair tends to get oily quickly so it is important to keep your hair clean or it will look very limp and unflattering. It is better to wash your hair everyday with a mild volumizing shampoo and use a clarifying shampoo once or twice a week. This will prevent any oil buildup and will make your hair easier to manage and style.
