Fine and limp hair can be really difficult to manage, especially when you desire more volume and vitality. However, with the right products, haircuts, and a few styling tips, it's no problem at all!
THE RIGHT CARE FOR FINE HAIR TO ACHIEVE MORE VOLUME
Fine hair is characterized by strands with a small diameter. If you have fine, thin hair, you will likely notice that it tends to get tangled and greasy easily. Due to the delicate strands, it can also be more prone to split ends or breakage.
That’s why proper care for fine hair is especially important.
Choose a mild shampoo with gentle, natural ingredients that is specifically formulated for fine hair. Make sure your care products are free from parabens, silicones, and polyquaternium, as these synthetic substances can clog the scalp and weigh down the hair. It is also beneficial to use products that contain strengthening ingredients like wheat proteins or caffeine.
We recommend you the Volume, Sensitive or Caffeine Shampoo.
PROPER HAIR WASHING: DOUBLE CLEANSING
Some of you might already be familiar with 'Double Cleansing' from skincare routines. The same concept can also be beneficial in hair care, especially for fine hair that tends to get greasy and flat quickly. Shampooing twice in a row can help remove excess oil and product residue more thoroughly, giving your hair more freshness, lightness, and volume.
USE OF CONDITIONER
Even for fine hair, it is important to use a conditioner as the final step in your hair care routine. Shampoos are generally alkaline, designed to open the cuticle layer of the hair so that active ingredients can penetrate better. Therefore, it is crucial to close this cuticle layer after washing, which is achieved by using a conditioner that restores the natural acidic pH balance of your hair. This way, the cuticle is sealed, and the hair receives effective care.
Use only a small amount of conditioner and apply it exclusively to the lengths and ends. For fine hair, an ideal conditioner provides moisture without weighing it down. Our recommendation is the Daily Hair Conditioner (Leave-in) with cold-pressed organic hemp oil. It immediately nourishes damaged and stressed hair with valuable care ingredients and soothing moisture. Its silicone-free formula, with organic almond oil and organic shea butter, regenerates, strengthens, and smooths the hair intensely. The vegan formula improves manageability and gives hair a healthy shine from roots to ends without weighing it down.
HAIRSTYLES & STYLING TIPS FOR FINE HAIR
The right haircut that suits your hair texture not only flatters the face and gives us a cool look, but it can also help add more volume and fullness to your mane.
In general, short hairstyles are advantageous for fine hair. Longer hair tends to lie heavier on the head due to its weight, which causes it to fall flat and appear less voluminous.
Here are some hairstyles you can try out:
THE BOB:
A classic bob adds volume and fullness to the hair. Whether you choose a chin-length, layered, or long bob, this stylish cut brings extra movement to your hair and helps prevent it from falling flat too quickly.
PIXIE CUT:
The pixie cut is perfect for fine hair as it adds a lot of texture and makes the hair appear thicker. Its short, layered style gives the illusion of more volume and creates a chic, playful look that is easy to maintain. The pixie cut also reduces the weight of the hair, allowing it to naturally lift and hold its shape.
LAYERD CUT:
Layers are an excellent way to add more volume to fine hair. They create movement and make the hair look fuller. Give 'Messy Waves' a try—they provide additional texture and make the hair appear denser.
HIGHLIGHTS:
If you don't necessarily want to cut your hair, you can also try adding some highlights or lowlights. They give your hair color more contrast. The highs and lows created by the color differences create an optical illusion that makes the hair appear fuller than it actually is.
Conclusion
With the right techniques and care products, such as those from Lu&me, it is possible to make fine hair look voluminous and lively. Don’t hesitate to try different methods to find out what works best for your hair.
