Thin Hair? Here are the mistakes you might be making…

Ever noticed how people are never happy with their hair? Those with curly locks spend hours, straighteners in hand, to achieve a sleek mane, whereas poker straight-haired girls would do anything for those beachy boho waves. The same is true for those with thick unruly manes versus the thin and the flyaway. We’ll tackle each hair type one at a time, but this week we’re focusing on ways you can give a little more oomph to thinner hair.

Ever noticed how people are never happy with their hair? Those with curly locks spend hours, straighteners in hand, to achieve a sleek mane, whereas poker straight-haired girls would do anything for those beachy boho waves. The same is true for those with thick unruly manes versus the thin and the flyaway.

We’ll tackle each hair type one at a time, but this week we’re focusing on ways you can give a little more oomph to thinner hair.

Use less product

Product is great, but even volumising sprays can add too much weight to thin hair. Use half of what you usually would – it’s always easier to add more! The same goes for conditioner, use just a little on ends and don’t go any higher then half way up your hair, avoiding weighting down the roots.

Perfect your blow drying technique

Whatever you do, make sure you’re always lifting and brushing your roots away from your head to get extra lift. Forget this, and you could be counteracting everything else you’re doing to try and give the impression of thicker hair.

Choose you hairstyle wisely

The right hairstyle is imperative. Thin hair should be kept at shoulder length or shorter, and try to steer clear of too many layers to maintain fullness and bounce. Long thin hair give the impression of being ratty, and lots of layers will do much the same thing.

Choose a style without a defined parting or change your parting and flip it over

If you always have the same parting, hair can become accustomed to lying flat on that side. Flip your hair over, add a little texture spray and enjoy your new found volume.

Roller on!

Before you go out, simply add two or three rollers to the crown of your head. Do this when your hair is dry and add a small amount of texture spray. To add a little more volume, blow warm air on the rollers then leave to cool for 10 minutes before removing.

Use dry shampoo…at night!

All that tossing and turning will help the dry shampoo absorb oil, so you’ll wake up feeling hair it thicker.

Hope these tips are helpful!

Rebecca Willshee Nail and Beauty Specialist

Testimonial: “JC was so low, suicidal at points. Sore, red, angry, his skin was awful, we had tried everything and doctors you name it. We reached out to Becky, who was wonderful. My son was quiet and withdrawn, lacked confidence and self esteem, and locked himself away from the world. Becky booked us in for a consultation to discuss different options of treatments and we decided the new hydro treatment would be the best option. We started the course and JC was nervous but Becky was great with him talking him through everything, step by step! As we went each time JC’s skin got better and better, but also the difference in him was huge, he was gaining confidence, shoulders back, head held high. We have watched his skin change from this red, aggressive, angry skin that was sore, acne was debilitating to him but now he is confident, holds his head up high and has even got his first job! We are so proud. When we met Becky I felt confident she would help us get his skin better and back on track but what has actually happened is skin looks amazing but to see our son gain confidence has been the biggest win! Teens often get pushed aside, put on string meds and told “it’s just your age” but this isn’t what they want to hear, but The SkinBase treatments Becky has done has changed his life! We cannot thank you enough Becky! JC is continuing with the treatments as it still gets the odd breakouts but the scarring is still improving week in week out. The hydro Facial is just amazing and we cannot recommend it enough and of course Becky and her passion for skin and helping people is wonderful!”
