Beautiful, thick and shiny hair is the dream of any girl. But, alas, this luxury is not available to everyone. What about those who cannot boast of a magnificent hairstyle and go to any tricks to visually turn thin hair into a chic mane? What to do if the hair is liquid?
Why hair becomes thin: 8 reasons
improper diet;
hormonal changes;
polluted air, temperature fluctuations, solar radiation and other aggressive manifestations of the environment;
lack of sleep, violation of the regime;
stress;
improper or insufficient care;
bad habits.
And this is only part of the reasons why once thick and dense hair becomes thin and brittle. Age also affects them not in the best way. Metabolic processes slow down over the years, a deficiency of vitamins and microelements is found. The production of estrogen and progesterone, the hormones responsible for the beauty of hair, decreases, and the effect of androgens, on the contrary, increases. As a result, the hair follicles decrease and the hair becomes thinner, which means:
lose volume;
often confused and split;
react to temperature differences: they become electrified in the cold and quickly lose moisture in a heated room;
suffer from brittleness.
So how do you take care of fine hair? That’s what we’re talking about right now. But first, take our test and find out what state your curls are in now.
Fine hair care at home
What if the hair is very thin, and even weakened? The first thing is to provide them with proper care. Most likely, one “correct” shampoo will not be enough here. You will also need a balm, mask and spray.
It is better to choose a balm from the same series with shampoo – in combination they will act more efficiently.
Special root volume spray is the fastest way to create the effect of bouffant hair. Such products work great, last a long time and are almost not felt.
What to wash
Caring for thin hair, like any other, begins with shampoo. Look for products labeled “for fine hair”, “for thickening” or “for volume”.

How to care for thin hair with salon treatments
For fine, volumeless hair, our experts recommend:
plasma therapy, when injections of the patient’s own plasma are made into the scalp;
mesotherapy – injections with vitamin cocktails;
cryotherapy, when the scalp is exposed to low temperatures, which improves blood circulation and promotes saturation of cells with oxygen.
Their peculiarity is that they all work only if the hair has become thin, for example, after suffering stress or a strict diet. If the curls have always been like this, unfortunately, the effect of the procedures will be minimal.
How to add volume to your hair with hair and styling
Any hair suffers from too hot styling, but thin hair tolerates the effects of a hair dryer and curling irons worse than others. There is only one advice here: you need to use these devices as little as possible and always with thermal protection.
Metal and plastic combs increase hair breakage. It is better to give preference to wooden combs and brushes with natural bristles.
To make sparse hair less electrified and tangled, our experts recommend replacing cotton pillowcases with delicate silk ones.
A haircut will help give volume to dry hair. How to choose it, the stylist will tell you. For example, a cascade, steps and other layered options will make thin, fragile curls look more lush.
Proper coloring can also give the hair a visual volume. Usually complex coloring works well – in two colors or more. Experiment, look for your stylist and colorist – perhaps, after a successful visit to the hairdresser, the curls will no longer seem so thin!
