A guide to fine hair: tips for styling and volume

Shampoo and conditioner can be common culprits for weighing hair down by leaving too much residue at the root and along the strands. 

The next step on the list doesn’t require any fancy fine hair products, just your hairdryer. To make sure you get as much volume as possible into your hair, hold your head upside down while you blow dry it. Finishing with a cool blast will help ‘set’ the style, too 

Thin hair tends to be more flexible than thick hair, so too many lotions and potions can flatten it by weighing strands down. Choose just one of the best hair products for fine hair and trust it to hold your hair up alone. Dove Daily Moisture Light Shampoo instantly adds volume and breathes life into fine, flat hair

If it’s texture and volume you’re after instead of just height alone, try using dry shampoo instead of a root lift product. If you’ve got fine hair, chances are it’s very soft, which can make it harder to style. Dry shampoo makes hair feel thicker and adds texture, giving it some grip so it can hold a style longer – one of our favourite fine hair tips for when wrestling with a plait that just won’t quite stay in line.

Fine hair is more prone to everyday damage like breakages and split ends compared to thick hair so conditioning is super important. This is partly because the strands are typically up to 20% thinner than normal to thick hair. Try to regularly use a nourishing product like Daily Moisture Light Conditioner.
