Thin hair is like a "princess on a pea": a little that is not for them - anxieties and sleepless nights are provided to the hostess. Not only that the strands are very soft, not elastic, they do not want to keep their shape and fit as they need, so they are still trying to get involved in the "gordian knots", get cut at the ends, and even break at all and begin to fall hard. Moreover, thin hair is very sensitive to the unfavorable atmosphere of the modern city. Then they are "worried" by the sun, then dust and fire turns into icicles, then "kills" a perm or color. In short, I want to take scissors in my hands and deprive myself of this unhappy spectacle. But do not hurry. It is better to ask for advice to stylists and learn the secrets of lush, beautiful and healthy hair.
A haircut
The right haircut is the first step to a magnificent hairdo. There can be several options: a multi-level haircut with "torn" ends as long as the chin; clear geometric haircut medium length: bob. Hollywood stylist Sally Hershberger believes that the maximum length for fine hair is a square to the middle of the neck.
In a hairdressing salon it is worth paying attention to such a service as a haircut with "hot scissors". The essence of the procedure is that the ends of the strands seem to be "sealed" during such a haircut, the cut is obtained by an avid and the structure of the hair is not disturbed. Of course, no one holds the blades on fire. Hairdressers use a special apparatus, the scissors themselves remain cold, and heating to the required temperature occurs at the cutoff point. The result of the strands becomes more shiny, healthy and elastic, and thin hair gets a volume, which they so lack.
And one more important nuance: if the hair is long, you need to follow their tips. Seeding ends must be cut at least once every three months, otherwise the hair will not look too attractive.
Washing head
Thin bands need to be given additional volume, and therefore it is worth paying attention to special shampoos, good, large companies offer a wide range of such products. The composition of shampoos marked "for fine hair" and "for volume" includes keratin, strengthening the hair cuticle, giving the strings a splendor and elasticity.
"The more you wash your hair, the faster your hair gets dirty," grandmother's niches said. Indeed, the sebaceous glands, striving to restore the acid-alkaline balance of the skin, work more intensively and release more fat. What, to walk with a dirty head in anticipation, when the body decides to produce less fat? But on fine hair, dirt and grease are visible in a day! Modern firms have solved this problem - today you can get shampoos for frequent use, because they do not overdry the scalp and do not stimulate the production of sebum.
You should not save time and money by using a 2 in 1 shampoo, as they weight the strands, make the hair sticky. Having saved on washing your head, you will increase the time required for styling.
