How to Add Stiffness to Fine Hair

But those who have thin hair don't need to suffer long, because many hair products can add body to fine hair and make it more manageable. To add body to fine hair, it is necessary to select the correct type and combination of styling products. Does this Spark an idea?

1
Wash hair using water and a thickening shampoo. These shampoos are designed to leave a slight residue on the hair to make it look thicker. They also help make the hair stiffer and easier to style.
-
2
Press the hair gently with a large dry towel to remove some of the moisture. This helps the styling products cling to the hair.

Comb hair with a large-tooth comb to remove tangles.

4
Apply a volumizing hair gel to the roots of the hair. Squeeze a dime-size amount into the palm of the hand, and work it over the entire scalp. To stiffen the hair further or create a spiky style, apply additional gel to the roots.
-
5
Apply a mousse to the ends of long hair to stiffen it. Spray it into your palm and rub it into the hair. As an alternative to mousse, a hair-thickening spray can be sprayed over the hair to increase thickness.

6
Use a hair dryer to set the styling products. If an extremely stiff style is desired, simply allow the hair to air dry rather than blow drying.
-
7
Apply an extra-hold hair spray to further stiffen the style and hold it in place throughout the day.
