Styling Tricks Women with Fine, Flat Hair Need to Know Part2
10. Splurge on an in-salon volumizing treatment.
Kérastase offers a Fusio Dose Densifique treatment at its salons, specifically designed for women who struggle with fine hair but still want to keep hair healthy. “Densifique treatment will leave your hair full of revitalized texture, which lasts for four weeks depending on how frequently you shampoo,” explains Jasmine Anna Galazka, Kérastase educator and senior stylist at Warren Tricomi Plaza Salon.
11. Spray products into your hands first to add extra texture.
“If want some piecey-ness and your hair is very fine, put product in your hand first,” says Townsend. Try a texturizing spray like Sally Hershberger 24K Supreme Stylist Voluminous Dry Shampoo, $32. Spray it into the palm of your hand, dab fingers in it, and work it into your strands to add distinct texture. For added moisture, Atkin recommends the OUAI Finishing Cream, $24, which is like lotion for your hair, so applying a dime size all over helps tame any flyaways.
12. Keep dry shampoo in your bag for on-the-go touch ups.
Even if you volumize your heart out in the morning, you might still need a midday refresher. Keep a travel-sized dry shampoo (or volumizing powder like Unite Expanda Dust, $26) in your bag. Oribe’s and Kérastase’s both come in miniature portions, as does Drybar Detox Dry Shampoo, $13, and Psst!, $3.
13. Backcomb hair at the crown to get more height.
Townsend does this on almost every photo shoot and red carpet. Lift hair in small sections, backcomb each section two or three times using a fine-tooth plastic comb, spray with dry shampoo, and then comb the hair down on top lightly to smooth it out and hide the teasing.
14. Shampoo less often—yes, really.
“I know it freaks out women with fine hair,” Townsend says, since fine-haired gals tend to get oily fast. “When you shampoo every day, volumizing products are usually not the most moisturizing, so your scalp will produce more oils to moisturize itself.” Get on a cycle of shampooing only three or four times a week, and he promises it will really help in the volume department.
15. Use a soft-hold hairspray.
Stay away from heavyweight products like pomades, oils, or waxes with thin hair, as they will weigh your hair down and make it look more fine, John D., TRESemmé celebrity stylist tells SELF.
16. Fill in a finer hairstyle with a fibrous hair powder.
Spritz hair fibers into your roots for a more naturally full appearance. Hair fibers work for all hair types and textures, and are great for filling in part lines, covering extension tracks, or touching up roots between hair color appointments. John D. recommends the Toppik Hair Building Fibers, $25, which is made of keratin protein to give thin hair an instant boost and available in nine shades to suit your color. Alternatively, you can try Klorane’s Leave-in Spray with Flax Fiber, $18, which is formulated with organically-farmed flax fiber for an on-the-go styling and texturizing treatment.
