The hair care market consists of conditioners, shampoos, serums, hair moose, and many other expensive products. Yet, women with thin hair struggle to find the proper hair care routine that won’t cause hair damage. Thin hair should never be treated in the same manner as thick or curly hair since the texture of thin hair is so delicate and fragile! Although thin hair feels smooth and gentle to the touch, poor maintenance can cause the fine strands to strain or split.
Fighting off damage and preventing breakage should be your top objectives when taking care of thin hair strands. Here, we have listed a few tips you can confidently follow to take care of your hair for volume and shine improvement, so keep reading!
Tip 1: Don’t Shampoo Every Day
Thin hair quickly becomes greasy, and people may need to shampoo their hair daily; however, over-shampooing in the long run will cause damage to thin strands! Just two or three shampoos a week are enough for thin hair because excessive oil production from frequent washing might result in lifeless, flat hair.
Dry shampoo is a better option for managing oil because the powder residue of the dry shampoo will absorb extra oil and increase hair volume. Remember that the accumulation of dry shampoo particles might irritate the scalp and make it dry, leading to hair breakage, so just be sure to wash it off after applying it one or two times in a row.
Tip 2: Always Use a Wide Tooth Comb
Reaching for a fine-tooth comb may seem the most sensible action if you have thin hair; however, remember that thin hair is more prone to breakage at the slightest tug! Never brush your thin, wet hair with a fine-tooth comb; air dry it first, then use a wide-tooth comb to detangle it carefully. The space between the teeth of a broad tooth comb will give you more control during brushing.
Tip 3: Only Apply a Small Amount of Conditioner
If you have thin hair, you should avoid conditioners since they seem to flatten your hair, but forgoing conditioners after shampooing may cause severe hair damage. This is particularly the case with volumizing shampoo because of the drying nature of these shampoos! However, the oil balance of the scalp will be maintained with the aid of a moisturizing conditioner, but only if you apply a small amount of it. A nickel-sized drop of conditioner is plenty for thin hair; however, always avoid applying conditioner to your roots because that can result in flat hair.
Tip 4: Use a Hair Straightener or Curling Iron Sparingly
We all know heat damages our hair, and the damage can be extensive for thin hair! In addition to using flat iron or curling iron sparingly, it’s also crucial to protect your thin hair from heat damage by using heat protectant products first. Even when you blow dry your hair, keep the heat on the lower end to reduce damage.
With the correct hair care methods, it is possible to keep your thin hair damage-free and healthy looking! If your hair is already highly damaged, you should also go for a hair treatment regimen from a professional to recover from the hair damage. So what are you waiting for? Follow the tips above and see excellent results in just a few weeks!
