Fine hair is a lot more dense than normal. However, many factors can affect it. Your age, diet, medication and stress can cause your hair to become thinner, making it appear sparse in density.
Sometimes people have very fine hair but lots of it, meaning that there lots of strands on the scalp but they are extremely fine so the hair becomes limp and lifeless. This makes it hard to be able to do anything with the hair.
Different ways of colouring fine hair can make it appear a lot thicker. For example, on shorter, layered styles instead of having one colour all over having a mesh of different tones put through the hair will enhance the layers and boost them so the hair appears thicker. The same can be done on long hair.
If the hair is completely blonde, by having some darker shades put through there will be more of a contrast between the dark and light colour which will give the appearance of there being more hair.
Some people like having bleach applied on their parting as the bleach swells in the hair when it is developing and this can make hair look fuller.
Not many people realise it, but having a layered hair cut can create more volume in the hair. Although most people think that having hair cut shorter will make it look thinner it actually can do quite the opposite and make hair look much thicker, especially if it is cut quite blunt on the length.
Using any kind of volumising product in the hair can really boost it and giving it a proper blow dry with a round brush will also create lots of volume at the root.
It's best to use a volumising shampoo to raise the cuticle instead of a conditioner as some conditioners can make fine hair look dull.
However, a leave-in conditioner is the best thing to spray in the hair to keep the ends hydrated and a volumising product can then be applied to blow dry in the hair. We believe this is one of the best ways to get volume in fine hair.
