Cut
Cut well: more fullness thanks to the perfect cut
Even if it sounds counterproductive, you can also use scissors to create a fuller head of hair, for example with a layered cut - this loosens up the hair and adds more movement. However, very fine hair should not be thinned out too much. In this case, a cut with blunt contours is recommended as this creates more volume. It is always a good idea to have your hair trimmed regularly, as this way it loses weight each time and no longer hangs so flat.
The chemical process of applying hair color or highlights opens the outer cuticle of the hair and the color or bleach penetrates the hair. This roughens the overall structure of the hair, which in turn makes the hair appear more voluminous. This is noticeable the first time you reach in after a visit to the hairdresser. Women who only have their roots colored immediately have more volume at the roots - bye-bye, flat hair!
Care
The motto here is clear: less is more. The main thing is that the product is right
Is your hair hanging down heavily? Products for "normal hair" are not the right choice for women with a limp head of hair. When buying shampoo, look out for labels such as "for fine hair" or "for more volume". More frequent washing may also be a good idea, as greasy hair is the number one volume killer. Even if we sweat a lot, our hair needs to be washed more often. Use a so-called "cleansing shampoo" once a week - this has an exfoliating effect and removes styling residues that can accumulate and weigh down the hair.
Rely on foam rinses for your conditioner
These moisturize and make the hair nice and fluffy, not heavy. In addition, if you have lost volume due to hair loss, you can use appropriate tonics to help your hair grow again. Food supplements with vitamins, biotin, minerals or silica strengthen the hair from the inside out. Unfortunately, you will need a little patience (approx. three months), but it really does work.
Styling
Now it's all about good technique - and using the helpers correctly
Apply a mousse or setting spray to towel-dried hair before blow-drying. Then your best friends for "big hair" are a good blow-dryer and the right brush (paddle brush). Tilt your head to one side and blow-dry strand by strand against the direction of growth. Women with short hair should use a round brush with natural bristles (gentler). Never blow-dry upside down - this only creates a tangled, protruding mop of hair. Dry shampoo quickly adds body.

Extra tip
From time to time, part your hair on the other side. This will instantly give you more volume at the roots. Don't make it too straight and precise either - otherwise it will look too severe and, in the worst case, even make you look older.
