More volume
Use color as a push-up for thin hair
Yes, it's true: Coloring makes manes look fuller. The chemical process during coloring causes the cuticle layer to swell, which makes the hair more manageable. Highlights are an alternative to complete coloring: The light-dark contrasts give the hair depth and texture. Important: The highlights should be a maximum of two shades different from the natural hair color.
The perfect hairstyle for fine hair: layered cuts & bobs
Whether the hair falls voluminously or not also depends on the haircut: well-set, fine layers work wonders, as the shorter sections automatically create more natural movement and fullness. By the way, chin-length bobs are particularly advantageous - the hair is then not pulled down by its own weight.
The wash code: Rinse thoroughly
Always rinse out care products thoroughly so that no weighing down residue remains in the hair. When it comes to shampoo, this means rinsing three times as long as you shampooed. Oh yes: daily washing is okay, after all, an oily root is a volume killer.
Why not change the parting
If you always part your hair in the same place, it will eventually lie flat out of "habit". So switch sides more often! This straightens the roots of the hair, which gives the roots a flash of volume.
More shine
Cold pouring seals the surface
Rinse your hair with cold water after washing. This closes the cuticle so that light can be reflected. Top: The hair becomes less tangled and is also easier to comb. Vinegar rinses have the same effect.
Once a month: off to the (hair) spa
Damaged and naturally curly hair in particular needs a hair treatment regularly, because: Their concentrated active ingredients penetrate much deeper into the hair shaft than a conditioner due to the longer application time and thus repair porous areas for a long time. Leave in under a towel.
Frizzy mane? Is not destiny
Even naturally straight hair tends to become frizzy and crispy in a damp environment. The solution? Anti-frizz products. With their smoothing ingredients, they tame an unruly hair structure and provide lasting protection against moisture by creating a wafer-thin, water-repellent film around each hair. In short: the ideal preparation for sleek looks.
Blow-dry like a pro: it's all about the direction
Shiny styling starts with blow-drying: Guide the airflow from the roots towards the ends, pulling the hair over a paddle brush strand by strand - this way, the cuticle layer clings tightly. Protects against drying out: blow with lukewarm air and keep enough distance from the hair.
