Fine Hair

What is fine hair and can you tell if you have it?

The difference between fine hair and thin hair is to do with the density of your hair and the thickness of the strands. With fine hair, you have lots of hairs with a small diameter. With thin hair, you can have thick hair strands but fewer of them.

Shampooing and Conditioning Fine Hair

Daily shampooing helps grant bounce and shine to all hair types, and particularly to finer tresses. This is because your hair accumulates dirt, dust, oil and grime every day, (just like your skin does!) which can really weigh it down. Daily shampooing also helps keep your scalp healthy and clear of flakes and skin cell build-up.

If you have fine hair, don’t be afraid to use a conditioner — the right one will leave your locks feeling smooth and shiny without any limpness. Furthermore, some conditioners are especially formulated to help add bulk to individual strands. Never apply conditioner to your roots, only to your mid-lengths and ends where moisture is needed most.

Choose a shampoo formulated for your hair texture (like our Body Building range for fine hair) and pair this with a conditioner suited to your hair’s length and level of heat damage or chemical processing.

Our innovative, powder-to-jelly formula dissolves away hard water minerals, pollution and product build-up that can leave hair feeling limp and heavy. It effectively cleanses and purifies, revealing strands that feel super clean, soft and weightless, with reflective shine, making it a must-have for fine hair textures! The results from our Instrumental Tests speak for themselves — Vitamin C Jelly removes 11% more pollution, 31% more mineral build-up from hard water and 38% more product build-up than shampoo alone.
