How to care for thin hair

Owners of thin hair daily face problems with basic care. It is important to understand that the thickness of the hair is determined by the genetic factor. For this reason, it is unlikely to make hair denser, but to give a visual volume to the strength of each lady. Due to the characteristics of hair, it is necessary to follow practical recommendations for styling, washing and drying hair. Experts recommend minimizing the use of thermal appliances. Let's talk about everything in order.

Washing fine hair

1. It is important to remember forever that thin hair is washed exclusively with filtered water. Even if tap water seems soft to you, exclude its use. To prepare the rinse water, you can collect it from the well, purchase an already purified mineral water or pass the tap liquid through the filter. In cases where the listed possibilities are not available, first boil running water and use as directed.
2. From eminent stylists you can hear a recommendation regarding rinsing thin hair with carbonated mineral water. According to numerous reviews of women, such a composition makes the hair visually voluminous and softer. To prepare a rinse solution, purchase calcium tablets from a pharmacy. Add 1 pc. for 2 liters mineral water.
3. Some girls prefer to rinse their hair after washing with an acidified solution. For these purposes, 60 ml must be diluted. table vinegar in 2.5 liters. warm water (preferably boiled), and then proceed to the procedure. An alternative to vinegar is lemon juice, per 1 liter. water accounts for the filtered liquid of one citrus fruit.
4. Choose a shampoo marked "for thin hair", it does not contain parabens and silicone. Professional masters do not recommend using balm after shampooing, because it makes the already fragile curls heavier. Replace the balm with a conditioner spray of the same series as the shampoo. Spray it over its entire length onto wet or towel-dried hair.
5. After using the shampoo, rinse the curls with a decoction based on medicinal plants. To do this, you need to purchase a yarrow, plantain, thyme, sage, geranium, lemon balm or chamomile at the pharmacy, and then brew 50 g. herbs in 3 l. boiling water. Do not forget to strain the composition after 30 minutes of infusion. Rinsing is carried out after each hair wash.

Hair styling and combing

1. For combing hair, it is necessary to use only those hairdressing tools that are made on a natural basis. This includes a soft-bristled massage brush, a scallop with wide or small teeth from a tortoise shell, wooden devices.
2. Experts categorically do not recommend the use of plastic combs and massage combs, as they contribute to the electrification. As a result, the hair becomes brittle, dry with split ends. The same applies to combing with iron tools, they are forbidden for you.
3. During installation, use wax, mousse or foam, gel, varnish for fixing. Give preference to funds based on medicinal decoctions, they are more gentle. Thanks to the listed stylers, the hair becomes visually thicker. Buy a product with a high or medium degree of fixation, so as not to exert pressure on the follicles.
4. Before going to bed, rinse off the remnants of styling products without fail, otherwise they will not allow your hair to breathe.Do not go to bed with a wet head, dry it with a towel and leave it under natural conditions. If there is no way to wash your hair, use dry shampoos based on potato starch or baby talcum powder.
5. Owners of thin hair are recommended to forever abandon the use of devices operating at high temperatures. Such units include an iron for straightening, hair rollers, curling irons, hair dryers. If your hairstyle involves daily styling, pre-coat your hair with a thermal spray.
6. Try to dry your hair at a minimum temperature, for this there is a snowflake button on the device. The same applies to the use of pads and ironing; carry out styling at low speeds. Yes, you will need more time, but this way the hair will be better preserved.
7. Make it a habit to massage your head before going to bed. To do this, purchase a colorless liquid in the pharmacy - nicotinic acid. Using a pipette, treat the scalp with it, then rub the composition for a quarter of an hour. Niacin strengthens the bulbs, promotes accelerated growth, does not require rinsing.
8. To prevent hair from getting mixed up and always staying strong during styling, use professional shampoos. After washing your hair, spray the strands with serum to make combing easier. Before laying, dry the basal area, then proceed to the processing of the remaining length.

Thin hair cutting

1. If you have thin and sparse hair, the right haircut will fix the situation. However, do not give preference to short hairstyles, they visually remove the volume. The same applies to long straight hair, creating the effect of "licking".
2. Stylists advise girls with thin hair to choose haircuts “cascade”, “elongated caret”, “bob-caret”, “ladder”, “page”. The main thing is that the hairstyle suggests the presence of "feathers" on the cheeks and chin, such a move to make the hair more thick. To add 30% to the volume, ask the hairdresser to make a “ragged” haircut.
3. The best option for girls with thin hair is perming. Thanks to the curls, the hair appears thick and dense, which cannot be achieved by styling. The same effect is achieved after winding the strands on curlers, curling irons, tongs, but the result is short-term (1-2 days).
4. Visit a beauty salon at least once every 1.5 months. Ask the master to cut along the entire length to cut the cut hair. Some hairdressers may refuse, because they consider it impossible to remove brittle ends from the entire surface of the hair. Refuse the services of such "professionals", find another salon. If possible, cut with hot scissors, in which case you will not get a haircut more than 1 time in 3 months.

Dyeing fine hair

1. No matter how strange it sounds, dyed hair seems more luxuriant than natural. This effect is achieved due to the fact that the pigment is eaten into the core and thickens it. As a result, the hairs do not fit so tightly together, creating a visual volume.
2. Popular manufacturers produce dye for thin hair, lacking volume. Typically, such formulations contain biotin and keratin, which envelop each hair and create a density.
3. Avoid monochromatic staining, as a result of which the pigment is evenly distributed. At the same time, we consider light and light brown shades, dark hair seems more “liquid”.
4. As a coloring technology, give preference to ombre, balayazh, bronding, highlighting and coloring. The listed techniques involve the use of two or more pigments, so the hairstyle looks magnificent and stylish.
5. If you do not want to spoil your hair with ammonia (persistent) dyes, get tint shampoos and balms.Experienced housewives make extensive use of henna - a natural dye with a healing effect.
