Fine hair or thin hair care hacks – Do’s and Don’ts

I’m not a professional hair stylist or anything, these are things that I’ve learned a long time of what to do and what not to do with my own hair (Fine hair or thin hair care hacks – Do’s and Don’ts), because it is my personal tips, i just wanna share them with you. like what has been working for me and what hasn’t been so let’s get cracking.

DO’S – Fine hair or thin hair care hacks

Easy does it

Easy does it for sure, I always try to be as gentle as possible with my hair, fine hair is so much more fragile than thicker coarser hair and it does break off a lot easier, so when I’m shampooing my hair I really do try to be very very gentle and just gently massage it into my scalp.

Ends only

When I’m washing and conditioning my hair, I only condition the ends of my hair I try to avoid putting any product up around the roots, just because fine hair can be weighed down a lot easier, so the more product you have in around your roots the more it’s going to weigh down your hair and it’s gonna be a lot flatter.

So when I am conditioning my hair and make sure that I only condition from about the ear down, then I’ll rinse that out after leaving the top half free from any product .

Cold water

This next one is so painful, but it really has made a difference with my hair and that is what I’m in the shower, I try not to shower with really really hot water that’s no good for your hair, so while I’m washing and conditioning I’ll use lukewarm water and then when I’m rinsing it out.

I will turn the tap to cold and I’ll rinse all the product out of my hair and I feel like that just seals everything in there and it’s a lot healthier for your hair, so it is painful at the time, but it has been making a difference, so that’s what I’ve been doing.

Gently Brush

I also try to be really gentle when I’m brushing my hair, so I have a brush that has very flexible bristles and that’s typically what I use, so once I get out of the shower and my hair has dried off a little bit, I’ll just go through it loosely with my fingers first just to get any larger knots out and go through with my brush afterwards.

Always starting from the bottom and working my way up never ever brush your hair with a fine-tooth comb, so either got a wide toothed comb or a brush with some flexible bristles and do the hand trick first and then move on to getting the rest of the knots out.

Dry shampoo

It’s better for your hair to not wash it every single day, so what I try to do is every two or three days I’ll wash my hair and then on those in-between days I’ll go for some dry shampoo, dry shampoo is just magical honestly, it just really gives your hair that extra boost, it gives you a little bit more volume, so for people with fine up in hair it really does help just give you that extra volume boost on those in-between days

Trims

Like I mentioned before fine hair is a lot more prone to break it and then that leads to split ends, so it is really important to keep up on your trims, I personally trim my hair about every eight weeks or so and I just do it myself from home.

I find if you have finer and thinner hair if you get your ends thinned out then they go stringier a lot of quicker, whereas if you have a blunt haircut it just looks a lot more full, so that’s personally why I do the flattened haircut and I try to keep up with it. As often as possible just to make sure my ends are really crush and I don’t have any split ends going on.

Loose bun

When I go to bed at night I like to sleep with my hair up in a really loose bun, I’ll tie it up with a scrunchie just because it is a lot more gentle on my hair, if you wear your hair down when you go to sleep then I can not up a little bit easier, so that’s just why I prefer to wear it up and a loose bun.

DON’TS – Fine hair or thin hair care hacks

Now we move on to the don’ts

Fine tooth comb

Number one is don’t ever brush your hair with a fine-tooth comb and never start up from the root, always start from your ends and work your way up, make sure you’re using the wider tooth comb and definitely be very cautious when your hair is what that’s when it is most fragile so be the most gentle, then and make sure you’re using the proper tools

Overuse products

Don’t overuse products like I mentioned before, fine hair can be weighed down very very easily, so the more products you have in it it’s gonna weigh it down and it’s gonna become very very flat and lifeless, so in this case the less the merrier

Sleep with wet hair

Never go to sleep with soaking wet hair, no I’m the kind of person who likes to shower at night rather than in the morning but I always do give myself enough time to have my hair dry off and if you’re gonna go to bed with soaking wet hair, then it’s gonna be a hot mess in the morning believe that.

I have done that in the past and I’ve always woken up with like crazy kinks or fuzzy bits and it just never ever looks good, fine hair does not bounce back as quickly as thicker or coarser heavier hair dyes, so it’s better to just have it fully dry before you go to sleep. 

Use heat

Trying to avoid using heat on your hair as much as possible, so blow-drying curly straightening all of the above, I really try not to do any of these things to my hair, I might curl my hair like maybe once a week or once every two weeks just to limit the amount of heat that I am using on it, heat is just extremely damaging on hair, so those of us with finer and thinner hair just have to be extra cautious.
