Must-Know Tips for Styling Fine Hair

Once you have the right haircut, follow these tips to get the most out of your new look:

Start with Clean Hair

Bouncy, voluminous looks are easiest to create on clean hair. Wash hair with a gentle shampoo like Toppik Hair Building Shampoo, and follow by applying Toppik Hair Building Conditioner to the ends. blow-drying-thin-hair Blow Dry Upside Down

Blow drying your hair upside down is one of the best ways to add volume to thin hair. Add a small amount of Toppik Hair Fattener Advanced Thickening Serum to hair and gently comb to distribute. Then, rough blow dry hair with the nozzle pointed down to add volume while avoiding frizz. Rough dry until hair is 90% dry, then smooth hair using a round brush.

Protect Your Hair

Repeat after us: ALWAYS use a heat protectant before applying heat tools to hair. Fine hair is even more prone to breakage, and breakage means thinner hair. Use the lowest heat setting possible for your look, or opt for no-heat styles that embrace your natural hair texture whenever possible. black-hair-updo-thin-hair Improve Your Updo
