Proper care of thin, weakened hair. Thin hair care

The braid is a maiden beauty. And you can't argue with folk wisdom, because lush thick hair is really considered the dignity of the beautiful half of humanity. But if genetics has endowed a woman with thin and weak "icicles", is it possible to deceive nature and create admirable hair? Stars and celebrities have long been privy to the secrets of her beauty, because their hairdressers know how to make even very thin curls thick, shiny and strong. In the age of information accessibility, these rules for caring for thin hair should be known to every woman. Read about all the hair beauty experts' secrets in our roundup.

Features type

Hairdressers say: proper care for naturally thin curls and well-chosen means are the key to a thick, beautiful hairstyle. The structure of the hair is really a genetic factor, and the rudiments of the future head of hair are formed in the womb. But here quality is more important than quantity.

By the way. In fact, the number of hair follicles on the head is approximately the same for all people. But the structure can be very different.

Regardless of what quality curls a person got, everything can change: a child's thin curls can become thicker in adulthood, while thick curls can thin out. And this is facilitated by the right or wrong daily care. Reflects on the beauty of the hairstyle and overall health. Consider the reasons for the formation of hair such and the rules of care and treatment.

Care rules

The main problem in caring for a hairstyle with thin curls is that the roots quickly become dirty, which, in conjunction with the frequent use of a hairdryer, splits the ends. Besides, hair that is thin in structure reacts more strongly to weather changes. In winter, they become electrified in the cold and dehydrated due to heating, and in summer they become dry and brittle due to the heat.

Any manipulations with thin hair, whether it be frequent washing, styling with a hairdryer or ironing, dyeing, perming, always have a bad effect on the hair structure. As a result of the constant negative impact of chemistry and styling products, the curls become thinner, split and break, which does not have the best effect on their appearance.

The main secret to turning fine hair into chic is the right approach..

Beauty experts argue, and not without reason, that the main secret of a beautiful thick hairstyle is the right care. It's not just genetics that is to blame for the thin and brittle curls. With the wrong approach, no masks help to restore their healthy appearance.

Inadequate nutrition both from the inside and outside of the hair shaft, insufficient blood circulation and an imbalanced fat balance of the scalp are much more significant factors in a rare and dull hairstyle.

According to experts, the 5 main rules for fine hair care should be as follows:

  1. Wash your hair correctly, rinse well.
  2. Regularly carry out nutritional procedures using special means (conditioner, mask, vegetable oil, cream) to protect them from an unfavorable environment.
  3. Carry out gentle drying and styling that will not damage the hair shaft.
  4. Use styling products (mousse, foam, varnish, fluid) that are suitable for fine hair.
  5. Perform scalp massage or exfoliation at least once a week.

In addition to the basic rules for care, attention should also be paid to diet and lifestyle.

Now let's talk about how to properly carry out all these procedures, what to do with your hairstyle so that it becomes thicker and more magnificent, and what you need to give up.

Washing and rinsing

Hairdressers, giving advice on the proper care of fine curls, primarily focus on washing. It would seem a banal action, but it is the key to the effectiveness of all care procedures. If you wash your hair incorrectly, then no masks will help make the curls thick and shiny. That's why follow these guidelines:

  1. You need to wash your hair every two days. Ideally, wash your hair twice a week.
  2. The shampoo must first be squeezed out onto your hands, rubbed, and only then applied to your head.
  3. You need to use the shampoo twice in order for the washing procedure to be of the highest quality.
  4. When washing your hair, the water should be at a comfortable temperature, but not hot. Otherwise, the curls will be dull and dry. This will lead to increased sebum production, and the head will become oily the next day. The result is dry, lifeless ends and greasy roots.
  5. It is better to wash off the shampoo from the head with cool water, it tones the skin and strengthens the hair follicles.
  6. After washing, the hair should not be dried, but wrapped in a clean towel for 3-5 minutes.

Important! If your head is very dirty, you can wash it every other day. But it's better to stick to the basic rule. In critical situations, when it is necessary to put oily hair in order, you can use dry shampoo.

Choosing a shampoo for fine hair should be especially careful. You can not use "horrible". General recommendations when choosing a shampoo are as follows:

  • dandruff shampoo is allowed to be used only if the problem really exists;
  • exclude universal shampoos, and shampoos of the "2 in 1" or "every day" category;
  • it is better to choose detergents with a non-aggressive composition without silicone, with the addition of keratin and protein.

Rinsing must be done very carefully., washing away the remains of shampoo and other care products completely.

Since tap water in cities is very hard, in order to soften curls and make them shiny, additional rinsing can be carried out... For this purpose, the following are suitable:

  • decoctions of herbs (chamomile, calendula, nettle, coltsfoot, sage);
  • lemon or vinegar water (a slice of lemon or a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water);
  • slightly warmed beer.

Additional rinsing should be done when the residues (shampoo, mask or conditioner) are completely washed out.

Meals outside

The three main hair products to use after shampooing are:

  • air conditioning;
  • balm;
  • mask.

Their common goal is to provide easy combing, seal scales, strengthen with useful ingredients and make curls shiny.

Balm for thin hair, experts recommend using it infrequently. Its task is to soften tough hair. The balm, like the mask, contains nutrients and natural oils.

If each time you wash your hair, you use both a remedy for dry, split ends, but fine hair, they will become heavy and "runny" in appearance. In this case, the head will become dirty faster, since the oils that make up the product will attract dust, smog and dirt.

To reduce the likelihood of rapid hair contamination, use these products no more than once a week.

Note! The fundamental difference between a mask and a balm is the exposure time and the depth of nutrition.

Conditioner rinse designed to give curls splendor and shine, to improve their combing. It can be applied every time after shampooing. The main rule when using the conditioner is not to apply it to the hair roots, stepping back 5-10 cm. Each product must be washed off well, and the conditioner is no exception. Rinsing thoroughly will keep your hair clean for longer.

Mask when caring for thin hair, it is imperative to use. Here, another thing is important - not to frequent. In summer, it is better to use active nutrients no more than once every two weeks.

In winter, meals can be carried out once a week. Even if the hair shaft is badly damaged and the ends split, you should not get carried away with masks.

Applying the product every other day or two days later will increase the greasiness of the scalp (especially if the composition of the mask involves nourishing the hair follicles with oils), which will not allow the scalp to "breathe" freely.

If the ends are badly damaged, the best option is to use special moisturizing creams for the ends of the hair.

Drying and combing rules

A properly performed procedure for drying and styling your hair will help keep your curls healthy. In this section, we'll talk about how to properly dry and style your hair, comb and style your hair.

Drying

The main problem with fine hair is insufficient volume. When drying naturally (which is the best option for maintaining the health of the hair shaft), it is difficult to achieve a lush hairstyle, which is why women often resort to using a hairdryer and a comb.

In order not to damage the curls by permanent styling with a hairdryer, it is important to follow the basic rules of such a procedure:

  • wet hair cannot be combed and dried with a hairdryer, you must first dry it to a state of light moisture in natural conditions;
  • in order to avoid the formation of split ends, it is necessary to dry the strands with a hair dryer by directing the air from top to bottom, and not vice versa;
  • a special comb with short and thin teeth - brushing will help prevent the fragility of the hair shaft;
  • when styling with a hairdryer only use combs with holes designed specifically for blowing air, otherwise hair can easily burn:
  • it is best to carry out styling with a hairdryer not with hot air, but with medium temperature, completing the procedure with a cold stream:
  • to protect curls from hot air will help special thermal protective products for styling, without them it is better not to dry your head with a hairdryer at high temperatures;
  • after drying, do not lie on the pillows for about 30-60 minutes, as creases may form.

Combing

After drying with a hairdryer, while the hair has not cooled down, it is impossible to comb it, because it can be easily injured. You can comb the strands well after the hair dryer only after 5-10 minutes.

Generally, combing too often is not worth it, stylists assure, especially if this is done not for the purpose of massage and careful separation of strands, but "hastily". Fine hair can be easily damaged during the combing process, so you need to do it carefully and carefully.

More about combs: hair that is thin in structure does not react well to metal, so it is better not to use brushes made of this material. When choosing a plastic comb, it is important to pay attention to its anti-static properties.

A short hairstyle is best tidied up with a wooden comb: wood is considered the most useful material.

Long strands are difficult to comb out well with a comb, so here the best option is professional combs for example the Tangle Teezer, which can also create extra volume. The natural bristle combs are perfect for both fine and short hair. With their help, you can comb out the split ends.

Hairstyle

Curling irons and irons are the kind of devices that a woman with fine hair should forget about. And if you do remember, then only on special occasions for going out, and then not more often than once a year. High temperatures have a negative effect on the fragile structure of a thin hair shaft.

If they withstand a one-time procedure, then repeated damage to the strands by the hot temperature will definitely burn them, leading to fragility, thinning and split ends. For those who want to have beautiful curls, stylists recommend using soft curlers at home.

Perm is also contraindicated for those who naturally have a very thin hair shaft. Even if it seems that such a procedure will add volume to the hairstyle, it is important to understand that the curling is done for several months, and even if the curls after the procedure look healthy, the effect of chemistry on their structure will not go unnoticed. There are often cases when, after curling on thin hair, the hairstyle had to be decently shortened.

Styling products

It is worth highlighting one important feature when caring for thin hair - this is mandatory styling. To add extra volume to a rare hairstyle, you can use foam or mousse. Apply the product in a small amount (rub one ball between your palms) only on the roots of damp hair before drying with a hairdryer.

Varnish can be used for the same purpose as foam: to add extra volume at the roots, but after drying. You can use the product only after the curls have dried well and cooled down, otherwise the curls will stick together, and the varnish will lie unevenly.

When using varnish, be sure to follow an important rule - carefully comb the strands overnight with a soft brush, so that during sleep the varnish does not absorb microparticles from the bed linen, and the hairstyle does not become greasy ahead of time. In addition, the varnish left overnight can clog the pores on the scalp, which will prevent the roots from fully "breathing".

Gel and wax can be used for fine hair when you want to style it smoothly. For short haircuts with bangs, such styling products are also relevant, and are also suitable in cases where you need to lift short strands, laying them slightly "upright". Such means are unsuitable for long hairstyles.

Scrub

Use a scalp scrub once a month, and this is especially true for owners of thin hair. This procedure will remove dead scales, so that the hair follicles will receive more nutrition from other means.

There are no special requirements for the scrub, so you can use any. The procedure will always be beneficial, since in the process the scalp is well massaged, and metabolic processes are activated.

Review of the best tools

When choosing any hair product, it is important first of all to pay attention to the composition. It is desirable that cosmetic products for the care of thin and thin hair contain the following useful components:

  • protein;
  • keratin;
  • herbal extracts and infusions;
  • vitamin complexes;
  • collagen.

Important, so that there are no vegetable oils and grease in the care product. It is better to use these substances separately, nourishing hair with them before shampooing. Any vegetable oil makes thin curls heavier.

Shampoo

The best shampoos for fine hair, according to customer reviews, are as follows:

  • Shampoo GREEN PHARMA Organic Volume- suitable for colored and weakened hair. Herbal extracts of honeysuckle, angelica, guarana and ginseng nourish the hair shaft well along its entire length, creating root volume. Cleansing is efficient, but gentle. The hairstyle is easy to comb. The shampoo is suitable for oily scalp, as it does not have components that weigh down the curls.

  • Natura Siberica shampoo and balm without sulfates suitable for those who are for naturalness and harmlessness. It cleans well, gives splendor, does not weigh down.

  • Kaypro shampoo "SpecialCare " with collagen for porous and weakened hair - an anti-aging shampoo restores youthfulness, volume, density and shine to curls.

  • Pure Line "Wheat and Flax" - inexpensive shampoo for fine hair with 80% herbal decoctions. Great quality at an affordable price. Does not dry out, makes curls lush, shiny.

  • Pantene "Extra Volume" - one of the best shampoos specially formulated for fine hair. Silicone free.

  • Fructis "Volume and Recovery" - really gives volume, according to many users. The hairstyle stays fresh for a long time, the curls become lush and shiny.

Air conditioning

According to buyers, the following conditioners are recognized as the best store-bought products for moisturizing and adding volume to fine hair:

  • Dove Advanced Hair Series Oxygen Light Conditioner - excellent remedy for fine hair. Really creates volume and moisturizes well. But for severely damaged ends, it will be ineffective.

  • With Shamtu Conditioner Yeast Extract. Its main advantage is its antistatic effect. The conditioner perfectly moisturizes the hair, softens it for easy combing, adds shine, and does not weigh down the curls.

  • Joanna Argan Oil Hair Conditioner - specially formulated for fine damaged hair. The composition contains natural oils, so it is better to use the product only in the case of severely damaged hair, since it will weigh down ordinary thin strands. The product is considered professional, and it is not easy to find it in the store. But for severely damaged curls - it's just "resuscitation".

Mask

  • Pharma Keratin mask - gives the hairstyle additional strength, moisturizes the hair shaft well along its entire length. The mask is able to restore the smoothness of the curls and close microdamage to the scales.

  • Wella Professionals BRILLIANCE Cream Mask ideal for colored, brittle and fine hair, while activating their growth. Paraben free.

  • MaskL "OrealProfessionnelMythicOil- gives maximum smoothness and shine without weighting.

  • Belita-Viteks Argan oil + liquid silk- one of the best quick masks for weakened, damaged hair. In two minutes, the product returns shine and a healthy look to the hairstyle, does not make the curls heavier.

Other care products

  • Dry shampoo. As an express remedy against oily at the roots, owners of thin curls should use spray from KC Professional Four Seasons - Hair Powder or dry shampoo from Dove - Refresh + Care. It should be noted that such products contain talcum powder, so they "take away" the natural shine of the hair. It is better to use them only in extreme cases.

  • Cream... It is necessary when the tips are dry and fluffy. For the same purpose, you can use jojoba oil or coconut oil, as well as any fluid. Angel Professional Paris Algae Nourishing Cream is one of the best leave-in treatments for split ends. He is able to really improve their appearance.

  • Antistatic... From this series, DNC antistatic agent is the best remedy. If the curls become electrified, this remedy will help get rid of the problem.

Styling aids

  • Leonor Greyl Lait Luminescence Bi-Phase - This is a biphasic milk for adding shine and shine to fine hair. Great for long curls as it prevents tangling while styling.

  • Thermal protection. Fine hair needs protection while blow-drying. This is especially true for those women who cannot do without hot air, straightening curls, or giving them volume. For this purpose, Schwarzkopf Osis Thermal Protection Spray or Estel Thermal Protection Complex Fluid Oil are perfect.

Salon procedures

New technologies are making it possible to develop more and more hair treatment options. According to the convictions of salon masters, some procedures are capable of making a "mouse tail" an object of admiration. But what options will work for women with fine hair structure and will allow the curls to look lush and shiny, and at the same time will not harm the hairstyle?

Such a popular procedure as lamination, smoothes hair, gives it shine, creates additional volume. In addition, the protective film created during the procedure protects the curls from the adverse effects of the environment. The smooth hairstyle effect lasts 1–2 months.

Advice. To avoid negative consequences, lamination should be done only by a specialized master. If the technology is violated, you can harm not only hair, but also health.

Glazing- a procedure that allows you not only to thicken thin strands, but also to restore their structure. The procedure can be combined with staining. After glazing, the hairstyle constantly looks like after high-quality styling. The “glaze” on the head lasts from 2 to 5 weeks.

Shielding will allow you to thicken thin hair, as well as moisturize and nourish dry and damaged curls with useful elements. The procedure is similar to the previous two, but here the therapeutic effect will be maximum, so shielding should be chosen for those whose hair is severely damaged. The duration of the effect is 1 month.

Folk recipes

Homemade nourishing masks work even better than store-bought masks. Moreover, for the nutrition of thin curls, the ingredients can almost always be found in the refrigerator or first aid kit.

All vegetable oils (olive, linseed, burdock, castor), honey, eggs and other products are suitable for the preparation of masks.

Here are some quick but very effective homemade masks for fine hair. Each of them must be applied before shampooing and kept under an insulating hood for 15 to 60 minutes (if possible).

  1. Moisturizing egg mask. You need to take one or two yolks (depending on the length of the hairstyle) and mix with 1-2 tbsp. tablespoons of vegetable oil (olive, linseed, rapeseed). Such a mask will help remove dry ends and relieve static.
  2. Kefir mask for oily roots. Sour milk or kefir, when applied to the hair before shampooing, removes excess oiliness, strengthens the roots, and gives the curls shine and strength.
  3. Nutritious honey mask. You need to take 1 tbsp. a spoonful of honey, 2 tbsp. tablespoons of burdock or olive oil, and add vitamin E from 2-3 capsules. The mask perfectly nourishes the hair shaft along its entire length, while sealing the scales.
  4. Gelatin mask "Lamination effect". Gelatin is the same collagen. A homemade mask, prepared by yourself, can, with regular use, replace the salon lamination procedure. Gelatin will give a thin hairstyle extra volume, make the curls shiny and healthy-looking. In addition, this mask strengthens the roots and improves the structure of the hair shaft. For cooking, you need to take 2 tbsp. tablespoons of gelatin, pour water (100-150 ml) and leave for 10-15 minutes. In a water bath, the gelatin is melted until a homogeneous mass is obtained. Add a teaspoon of aloe juice to the slightly cooled mixture. The mask is applied to clean, damp curls "under a cap" for 45-60 minutes.
  5. Vitamin mask. You need to take one kiwi fruit, peel and chop. Add vitamin AEvit (contents of 2-3 capsules) to it, or vitamins A and E separately. This mask will be useful for dull, lifeless hair. It will also help with excessive fat content at the roots.

To make your hairstyle thick and lush, you need to carry out regular rinsing after shampooing. Nettle is best suited for these purposes, and oak bark, coltsfoot, also strengthens the hair well. Pour boiling water over dry grass (1-2 tablespoons) and let it brew for 15 minutes, then strain.

Rinse with warm broth. The effect of the use of herbs is very long-lasting, but in order to achieve a visible result, you need to rinse your hair regularly for 2-3 months. but folk experience shows that after such therapy, the strands become noticeably thicker.

The structure of the hair shaft, although a hereditary factor, is not fatal. You can strengthen thin hair, make it stronger and thicker if you follow our recommendations.

However, external hair care must be supported by proper nutrition and a course of vitamin complexes. To maintain healthy curls from the inside, follow these tips:

  • Season vegetable salads with olive oil, adding, if possible, flaxseed or pumpkin seed oil.
  • Take dietary supplements based on brewer's yeast, fish oil, vitamin E, and also take collagen complexes twice a year.
  • Drink plenty of fluids (1.5–2 liters per day).

Another important point: always try to protect your hair from the influence of weather factors. In frosty winter, you need to wear a hat and hide the ends of the curls under clothes. In summer, in bright sun, you can protect your hair with a special spray with a UV filter. On a seaside vacation, it is best to preserve the beauty of your hairstyle from the effects of sea salt, coconut oil can. You need to apply a small amount to the curls, paying most attention to the ends, and collect the curls in a bun.

How to save thin and thin hair: rules of care, recipes for effective masks.

Fine, sparse hair is a problem that most women face. Even if by nature the hair was quite normal, constant dyeing, the use of a hair dryer, dry indoor air - all this leads to the fact that the hair becomes thinner, becomes brittle and thin.

It’s unpleasant, of course, but this is far from a reason for despair! The problem of thin and thin hair can be dealt with quite successfully. You just need to be patient and listen to the advice of experts.

Thin, sparse hair grows oily faster, and this is a fact. Caring for them should be very thorough, but gentle, gentle. First, you need to choose the right shampoo and hair conditioner. Now many companies offer special series of products specifically for thin hair: they are able to add volume, because due to its structure, they literally envelop each hair with a transparent film.

Before washing your hair, be sure to do a five-minute scalp massage - this will improve blood circulation and increase the nutrition of the hair follicles, which will stimulate better hair growth. It is better to wash thin hair with cool water (it is better to use boiled water), with gentle movements, gently whipping the foam. Do not rub freshly washed hair - it must be carefully wrapped with a natural cloth towel so that it absorbs moisture.

Dry thin hair preferably in a natural way. If you have to use a hair dryer, then you shouldn't make the air hot. To add volume to your hair, brush against the growth while drying. Do not use gel or wax to fix the hairstyle - they make the hair heavier. It is better to choose a light foam to create volume and varnish.

Modern hairdressing salons can offer women for whom their hair seems too thin and thin, a range of special salon procedures that will help to give them the desired volume and beauty.

Many experts advise doing gentle chemistry for thin hair. This procedure, firstly, gives the hair additional volume and allows you to maintain it without additional effort. Secondly, it dries out the hair a little and it becomes less greasy. It is just important not to overdo it, so that the hair does not become dry and brittle.

Lamination, phytolamination and elumination are very useful for such hair. Thanks to such procedures, you can not only give your hair the desired color without harming it, but also significantly strengthen it, make it stronger and more radiant.

Special medical hair masks, which are made in salons with the use of professional cosmetic preparations, will also help to stimulate hair growth and make them stronger.

Folk remedies

There are many folk remedies that help to cope with the problem of thin hair. First of all, this is rinsing the hair with decoctions of various herbs after each wash (nettle, horsetail, string).

Homemade masks, which are easy to prepare, help to make hair thicker and stronger, and visually increase its volume. A mask of burdock oil, yolk and lemon juice works well. A mask of black bread and mineral water nourishes the hair well, and a mustard mask with yolk perfectly stimulates hair growth.

It is also useful to regularly rub cosmetic oils into your hair - burdock, olive, peach, coconut, and castor oils give a good effect. The use of such oils will make the hair somewhat heavier and nourish it with useful substances.

Smoking has a negative effect on the condition of the hair: nicotine makes it dry and thinner. Staying in a smoky room also has an extremely negative effect on the condition of the hair.

Thin hair is best dyed dark: dark hair looks thicker than light hair. Additional volume will be given to the hair by coloring, but not contrasting, but only a few tones lighter than the bulk of the hair.

Try to curl your hair often with hot curlers - curling gives your hair volume. Curlers, unlike curling irons, do not harm hair and do not dry it out.

Use hair accessories: hoops, hairpins, etc. - they help divert attention from the imperfections of the hair.

When choosing a haircut, be sure to consult with a stylist: a competent specialist will be able to choose a hairstyle that visually doubles the hair volume. Owners of thin, thin hair should opt for a multi-layered, graduated haircut.

It is important to remember that even when you notice changes and feel that your hair has become better, you cannot stop carrying out procedures - caring for such hair should be constant, become your constant habit.

For women, thin hair is a real problem - you have to constantly create the impression of a voluminous hairstyle at the expense of additional funds.

But the owners of thin hair are about 1/2 of the beautiful half of humanity.

It is believed that thin hair, the diameter of which does not exceed 0.05 mm, is most often found in owners of blond hair.

Why can hair be thin? Hair thickness, as well as thickness, is a genetically determined trait. Thin hair is not a disease, but only one of the characteristics, such as color, stiffness, waviness. Much depends on hereditary factors. Usually thin hair is not thick and cannot be made like that, but you can increase its diameter.

Thin hair problem consists in the lack of the proper volume, since the secret secreted by the sebaceous glands makes them heavier. In addition, if the hair is also sparse, this may indicate the beginning of the process of hair loss, and in this case, you cannot do without professional help.
Another problem with fine hair is fragility. It is very difficult to care for such hair: it easily gets tangled and breaks from careless movements of the comb. In general, thin hair does not tolerate any external influences. It is difficult to care for thin hair, but ... you can!

I bring to your attention the basic rules for caring for thin hair, with the help of which it will look healthy and lush.

1.How to wash fine hair

Fine hair should be washed thoroughly and often, as dirt and sebum are visible on them after a day. It is worth using specially designed for thin hair. They usually contain keratin, which gives the hair volume and volume. However, 2-in-1 detergents should be avoided. They not only make the hair heavier, but also make it sticky, making it difficult to comb and style.
Also, when caring for long and short thin hair, you should not abuse shampoos that add volume: choose a product that matches the type of scalp (oily, dry, normal). Alternate volume shampoo with a shampoo that works for you. And to add volume, use special masks, conditioners.
Rinse hair with mineral water. This gives them the desired volume. And if you use special hair rinses, then pay attention to non-greasy rinses. Instead, they are formulated with moisturizing proteins (such as salmon proteins). They fill the hair, the hairstyle becomes more voluminous, but does not weigh down. Moreover, proteins penetrate into the cortex and restore it.
Deep cleansing shampoo can be used once a week.

Use a simple recipe for homemade miracle shampoo: mix a spoonful of any shampoo and a spoonful of powdered gelatin, apply the mixture to your hair for 5-10 minutes. The effect is guaranteed. Do not scrub your hair: this will harm it. Apply the shampoo to the scalp, and then, gently massaging, in the direction from the roots to the ends of the hair. Then rinse your hair thoroughly with cool water and wait until it dries. Only then can they be combed.

2. Scalp massage for fine hair

Head massage is very useful for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes. It helps to improve blood circulation, increase metabolism and remove dead cells.
The massage is carried out with your fingertips, in slow, rhythmic movements. First, stroke and rub the skin in the forehead and temples, then knead the scalp. Massage along the longitudinal and transverse partings.
But be careful: for skin diseases, head injuries and hypertension, this procedure is contraindicated.

3. Styling fine hair

The second half of success. It should be remembered that styling gel or wax will only make the hair heavier, so it is better to use special sprays for fine hair and apply them at a distance of 30-40 cm from the head.

Blow dry your wet hair first, lifting section by section vertically with a round brush. And direct the stream of warm air against hair growth. Do not abuse the hair dryer either: hot air can damage the hair structure.
Then "drive" into the hair roots a small amount of fixer (certainly for fine hair) - foam, mousse or styling spray. This product will envelop each hair in a protective film and make it elastic. Give the hair the desired shape and secure with a low hold varnish. If you want more luxuriant hair, then wrap the curls on the sides with tongs, and then comb them "against the grain" - from the back of the head to the crown of the head.

4. Alternative measures

Thin hair is very difficult to style into a fluffy hairstyle. Way out of this situation - reshape your hair with a professional perm. But despite the ultra-modern technologies, usually this procedure is still not complete without ammonia, which can greatly change the structure of the hair. The most important thing here is not to harm! This is already on the conscience of the stylist, who must be able to choose the right ammonia concentration. Otherwise - burnt hair. Well, and, of course, before such a perm, you should come to a stylist with "dirty" hair. And all this time, do not use varnish.

It should be borne in mind that after a perm, the surface of the hair becomes rough. It optically thickens fine hair. The hair structure is damaged, it loses its elasticity, becomes dry and brittle.
You can do without "chemicals", and make carving - long-term styling without the use of chemicals. The effect lasts 6-8 weeks.

5. Coloring thin hair

Oddly enough it sounds, but thin hair looks more magnificent after the fact that the dye raises the scales of the hair, and they are no longer so close to each other. And a special dye for thin hair also masks the gaps between the hair, which visually makes it fuller and thicker. Owners of thin hair should avoid uniform uniform dyeing in one tone.
In addition, blonde hair always looks fuller than dark hair. Highlights in small strands will also provide good results.
For gentle coloring, various tint shampoos are suitable.
Another gentle and natural remedy is henna. It also acts as a nourishing mask: the B vitamins contained in it strengthen the hair structure and promote scalp respiration.

6. Proper nutrition of fine hair

Anything that strengthens, nourishes and adds volume is good for fine hair. Special products for this type of hair, as a rule, do not contain oil, do not weigh down or straighten the hair. For example, a non-fat hair strengthening gel or liquid is applied to the scalp after shampooing and rubbed into the hair roots.

Keratin, amino acids and other natural ingredients restore hair structure. They become firm and elastic, and the hair as a whole looks more lush and voluminous. Also improves the condition of the stratum corneum, especially brittle hair, vitamin H.

The main thing is to choose a product that is most suitable for you personally, because thin hair can be both oily and dry.

7. Using homemade recipes

In addition to the purchased cosmetics, it is worth including in your hair care arsenal several recipes for home masks, which are simple to prepare and very effective. As a rule, they include various herbal infusions and decoctions, aromatic and vitamin oils, as well as food products: yolk, honey, onion or lemon juice, bread crumb and even beer.
Here is an example of a mask for fine hair: beat the yolk with a tablespoon of castor or burdock oil, rub the mixture into the scalp and do not rinse for an hour.
Masks made from onions with honey, from a decoction of onion peels, from olive oil and lemon juice, from honey, aloe and garlic juice are also effective.

But the common idea that rinsing your head with a solution of acetic acid is useful is a gross delusion. Vinegar irritates the scalp, so it's best to use the juice of one lemon for this purpose.

8. Care and treatment of fine hair

If careful grooming does not give the desired result, then your hair may need a complete treatment.
The cause of hair disease can be a disorder of the nervous system, hormonal dysfunction, unhealthy diet, vitamin deficiency.
In these cases, you must first find and eliminate the root cause, and only then deal with its external manifestation. Complex hair treatment includes a series of nourishing masks and rubbing, massage, ozone therapy and mesotherapy, darsovization (electric shock) and cryotherapy sessions. In severe cases, radical operating methods are used - hair implantation.

9. Cutting thin hair
