How to Style Thin Hair

Some of us are born with thin hair, others develop the problem as they get older. One our of every four women will suffer through thin hair and hair loss because of heredity. Thin hair is hard to manage and even harder to style. Hair stylists seem to get the thin hair to look good and stand up to a style, but the moment you wash it, you're right back where you started with flat, lifeless hair. Try using the following tips which should liven your hair up and put you in control.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Blow dryer
• Styling products

1. Gently massage your scalp for 30 seconds when shampooing your hair. This will help to promote circulation.

2. Apply a light conditioner to your hair ends, not at your roots.

3. Do some research and study the hair products. There are products on the market today to plump up fine hair. Read the directions and if they say they will retain moisture, they will most likely help.

4. Don't weigh your hair down with heavy styling products. If a product weighs your hair down, it will hang loose and limp.

5. Check for products which are purposely designed to be applied at the roots (root lifters). This will give your hair volume and will hold up most styles.

6. Try an above-the-shoulder cut, adding layers which will give the presentation of fullness.

7. Before blow drying, gently towel dry your hair. Never tear a comb through your hair. Be gentle. Remember to use the lowest setting on your hair dryer.

8. Ask your hairdresser about highlighting your hair to a shade lighter which will make your hair look full.
