The Essentials for Fine hair

Hair Styling for Fine Hair
Go Easy on the Conditioner
Although conditioning can be beneficial for all hair types, be cautious about using too much conditioner on fine hair. As well as reducing the amount of conditioner, also try applying it to the length and ends of the hair and avoiding the roots.
Don't Over Shampoo
As fine hair is prone to looking greasy quickly, you might find yourself shampooing a lot to get rid of the oil. But, over-shampooing can dry out the hair, which could actually cause the scalp to produce more oil to moisturise itself.
Keep a Dry Shampoo Handy
A good dry shampoo can be a lifesaver for fine hair. It can help hold your hair in place and add some extra volume. Dry Shampoo can also help you avoid overwashing by freshening your hair between shampoos. Keep a bottle with you even on wash days, and give your hair a little spritz to prevent it from separating and looking feathery.
Always Rough Dry
When drying fine hair, the key is to minimise brushing and rough dry your hair when it's damp. Use just your hands and the dryer until your hair is about 90% dry, then finish off with a round brush. The more you use the hairbrush when drying, the more volume you could lose.
Don't Apply Products to Your Roots
Unless you use a volumising spray, keeping your hair products away from your roots is best. Too much product on fine hair roots can weigh them down and make your hair appear limp. Start from the ends, and work your way up to the lengths.
