Thinning hair can be devastating to self-esteem,especially for women.If you wake up one morning and find your locks aren't as thick as they used to be,don't give up hope.What you might not know is that there are actually plenty of tips and tricks to make your own
hair look thicker,super-full and bouncy.
What Can I Do About It?
There are styling tricks and products that can plump and thicken the hair you're born with and the hair you're left with.Try these tips to make the most of the hair you have.
1.Use an egg-size amount of mousse.Mousse gets a bad rap because of its crunchy '90s past,but mousse is key for adding volume to otherwise limp hair.Start off with an egg-size dollop in your hand (hair stylist Mark Townsend says this is a good amount if you have fine hair),and then work it evenly through damp hair,roots to ends,before blow drying.
Big hair requires double the amount of volumizers.Opt for a more invigorating shampoo that will really get the follicles on your scalp to perk up.
2.Use your fingers first instead of a comb or brush when blow drying
your hair.To get the majority of water out of your strands,use your fingers like a comb and lightly rake your hair up and away from your head as you blow it dry (concentrating the nozzle at the root,directing the air flow toward the ends to help smooth the cuticle down; otherwise you can create frizz).Pulling your hair away from your scalp with your fingers (rather than blow drying it flat against your head) creates a fuller result,because as you lift and heat your roots simultaneously,you build volume.Finally,go back through with a big round brush to finish styling it.
Roll It Up After blow-drying hair,set front pieces in velcro rollers and clips for about 20 minutes to maintain high volume.
3.Switch your part for an instant root lift.If you usually go with a middle part,try switching it to a side part.Or,if you typically part it to one side,try the opposite side.Your hair gets stuck in the routine of falling in the same place every day,so changing up your part will immediately give you some lift.If you don't like how you look with your new part,wear your hair to the opposite side while you do your makeup,then spray it with hairspray before flipping it back to your normal part for some added oomph.
Don't Over-Brush.Don't brush your hair too often; this stimulates oils from the scalp,which will make your hair flat.If you must fix your hair with some sort of tool,opt for a wide-tooth comb.
Switch your part.If you've always worn your hair parted on the left,try shifting it to the right or center.After years of lying in the same direction,a switch will help lift your hair away from your scalp.
Take Your Vitamins.Get to the root of the problem: insufficient nutrients can be an underlying cause of thinning hair.“Most women know the importance of fish oil and biotin in their diets.
4.Condition your hair before you shampoo it to give it more texture.Conditioner is great because it makes your strands nice and soft,but sometimes hair that is too soft and slick won't hold any style.Washing your hair in the reverse order will create the perfect texture you'll need for building volume in your hair.Try Tresemmé's Beauty-Full Volume reverse shampoo and conditioner,which was designed with this exact concept in mind.
Do a Scalp Treatment.Hair scalp treatments are an awesome treat loaded with benefits for the hair.There are loads of benefits to applying them as part of your hair .Imparts shine to the hair,Helps prevent breakage and so on.
Add on. Hair weaves,extensions,pieces,wigs,and toupees will give you the appearance of a fuller head of hair.And many look better and fit more securely than the ones you might have seen in the past.These devices are made of human hair,synthetic fiber,or a mix of both.
5.Hide a clip in your ponytail to fake that My Little Pony look.Split your pony in half,stick a small clip inside,and hide it with the top section for a more voluminous finish.
Angled Lob.A slightly angled lob that grazes the shoulder will add body and shape to your thin hair.Add side-swept bangs and feathery layers like Emma Stone,and you're gold.
6.Tease your hair in small sections and spray it with hairspray.Teasing is the ultimate trick for creating volume at your roots.While holding a small section of your hair up and away from your head,gently backcomb toward your head.Then,hairspray each section at the roots to ensure the tease won't fall out.Continue doing this in small sections to create the height and shape you want,and then lightly smooth over the top layer of hair to hide the teasing underneath.
Long,Light Layers.You can simply ask your hairstylist to add a bit of texture on the ends.Think light,slightly feathered layers that don't weigh your strands down.
7.Split your ponytail in half with your hair tie when securing it.Secure your ponytail as normal,but instead of wrapping the hair tie around your entire pony on the last wrap,pull only the bottom half of your ponytail through.This will push the bottom half of your hair down and lift the top section up slightly to create the illusion of a fuller ponytail.
Deep Side Part.Give yourself a deep side part like Olivia Munn's .it's the easiest and fastest way to create dramatic oomph.
8.Twist your hair in small sections and pin it up while you sleep.This will create that bounce and volume at the ends of your hair.If you need to speed up the process and don't have time to sleep with it up,blast your twisted hair with a blow dryer and let it cool before taking it down.
Short Layered Bob Haircut.What's better than a
bob? A ruffled bob,obviously.Light layers and feathered ends,as well as a slight asymmetrical angle,make this short cut an easy one to tousle and volumize.
