How to make Fine hair feel Full and Bouncy?

A lot of people are having problems with with fine hair that has little or no body. Let's share some do's and don'ts to keep your hair looking great all day long.

1. The right haircut.
Shorter hair can make the finest texture look full. If your hair is fine but has a bit of weight, a chin-length bob works best. The longest fine hair should be cut just above the shoulder with barely-there long layers.

2. Light shampoo and conditioner. Apply conditioner to hair ends only to avoid weighing down fine hair. Be sure to thoroughly rinse after shampooing and conditioning.

. Hair color is the secret. Semi-permanent hair color coats the hair and permanent hair color is deposited in the shaft of the hair, adding body to the hair. Highlights can give texture that adds volume to hair.

4. Styling products that add volume without weighing hair down. Root lifts, mousses and hair sprays are the best bet for fine hair, but apply to hair roots only. This will keep hair end light, full and touchable.


5. Blow dry.
The simplest way to add volume is to tilt your head over and blow dry hair. Use a brush to raise roots from scalp to add additional lift.

Hair Makeunders

If you take more than 15 minutes to style your hair, you probably need a hair make-under. Let me share some tips below.

Color Choice

Coloring your hair black is the biggest beauty challenge. It is very difficult to remove and is always flat and covering all the natural nuances of your color. Dark Brown is a good choice as it softens your features to give you a younger look.

Platinum Blond is another equally difficult option. It washes out your complexion and makes your face disappear, so make-up is a must. White blond color also causes the most damaged to your hair.


Bright yellow is another hard-to-wear color for most skin tones. It looks artificial and makes everyone look older. A more subtle shade with softer nuances of color is more flattering and natural looking.

The last no-no of hair color is screaming red. The brighter the shade of red, the easier it wears out. This is a color for the Catch-Twenty-Two only. The most flattering red shades are coppers that are found in nature.

Olive and Honey Haircare

Having luxuriant hair does not only mean beauty, but also a sign of being healthy and young. However during the recent years I have seen a lot of ladies having weak hair condition: revealing the scalp under sunlight, damaged hair due to long-term mishandled or frequent chemical treatment. To say goodbye to these problems, let’s have a look at below tips.

Refreshing

Lack of cleaning, use of too oily conditioner and styling product residues are the main reasons for flat hair. If hair follicles get clogged, it can even lead to hair loss. Under this situation remember not to use 2-in-1 shampoo.

Darphin’s Volume Shampoo uses Chinese Honey Locust and Ginseng essence to strengthen the hair, gently clean hair follicles and increase blood circulation, suitable for daily use.

Oily conditioner can add burden to the hair, making styled hair last shorter and look sparser.

Try skipping conditioner, blow hair to half-dry and spray on Kiehl’s Panthenol Protein Hair Conditioner, eliminating the chance of hair follicle clog. It is professional hair stylists’ favorite spray which can gives moisture to split-ends and dry hair.

Moisturizing

Every models are expose to extensive amount of blow-dry and flat-ironing, making the hair very weak and dry. I have heard some of them come up with an ultimate hair care method – never shampoo, and let styling products and hair oil to “protect” the hair, then have a regular once a month hair cut. For those without professional stylist to take care of your hair every day, please do not try above method!

In fact, if we choose a shampoo with hydrating function, dry hair will not be damaged easily.

Apivita’s Propoline honey shampoo can clean and at the same time strength the hair. Then use Kiehl’s Olive Oil Conditioner for a deep treatment. Its lemon and avocado ingredients give hair shininess even after drying.

Styling

During blow-dry and flat-ironing, the hair is damaged by the high temperature and pulling. Professional stylists like to use Kiehl’s Heat-protective Silk Straightening Cream to protect the hair. To keep your hair style all day long, try Aveda’s Volume Hairspray.
