7. Check out volumizers ~~ Dozens of mousses, gels and sprays are formulated to add volume to fine thin hair; the trick is how to combine them with thickeners Apply the thickener first and dry your hair on high heat, since these products usually heat-activated. Once hair is nearly dry work in a small amount of volumizer mousse, gel or spray, comb thoroughly and begin styling using your blow-dryer and a brush. Set the dryer on medium heat. While you’re shopping, look for companies with entire product lines for fine thin hair include shampoos, conditioners and products.

8. Don’t overuse styling products ~~ Experiment with products until you find one or two that work great for you. Remember a little goes a long way. Avoid hairsprays that coat the surface of your hair and weigh it down. Also, very few pomades, waxes or shine sprays work well with fine thin hair; they, too, weigh it down too much and tend to build up. If you want to try a spray look for one that says it’s good for fine thin hair (like Paul Mitchell’s), and use a very small amount.

9. Beat flyaways ~~ Fine thin hair often gets flyaways when the air is dry—usually in winter or when you’re in an office or an airplane. Use a humidifier indoors and try moisturizing conditioners. To get rid of flyaways fast, quickly mist a bit of water on unruly and wayward strands. Using a thermal protector while heat styling also helps.

10. Get Set ~~ Don’t just blow-dry hair; check out all the other ways style it. Roller sets are perfect for root lift, body and end movement. Use hot rollers when you are in a hurry regular rollers and allow damp hair to air dry when you have the time. The larger the diameter of the roller, the more body and volume you get. Like the look? Try out a body perm if your hair isn’t colored. (Two chemical treatments on fine thin hair is just too much.)
