How to Style Fine Hair: Volume-Boosting Tips and Tricks 

Fine hair can be a bit of a challenge when it comes to achieving that full, voluminous look many of us crave. If you’re struggling with fine hair, don’t worry – there are plenty of tricks and tips to help you achieve the volume you desire.

Starting with the Right Shampoo and Conditioner

When it comes to fine hair, less is more, especially with conditioning products. Look for lightweight, volumising shampoos that are free from heavy silicones and oils, which can weigh your hair down.

We recommend *Euforas – Volumzing range* and *Sensus – Daily Volume Range*, both of these are excellent options specifically designed to boost volume.

Blow-Dry for Maximum Lift

A good blow-dry technique is key to achieving volume. Start by flipping your hair upside down and drying the roots first. This helps to create lift at the crown. Using a round brush can also help – aim to pull the hair upwards and away from your scalp as you dry it. For added volume, try blow-drying with a volumising root spray like * Eufora – Volume Fusion* or *Sensus – Lift Fluid* which offers lift without the feeling heavy product in the hair 

Backcomb Strategically

Backcombing, when done right, can add serious height to your hairstyle. Use a fine-toothed comb and focus on the roots around your crown. Be gentle to avoid damaging your hair – the goal is to add a subtle lift, not a rat’s nest! Once you’ve added some volume, smooth the top layer of your hair over the backcombed section to hide any signs of teasing.

Use the Right Tools

The tools you use can make all the difference. A good-quality volumising hairdryer, can help to create a fuller look. Additionally, heated rollers or a large-barrel curling iron are fantastic for adding body. If you’re in a hurry, try using Velcro rollers at the crown of your head while your hair is still warm from blow-drying. Leave them in for about 15 minutes, then remove them to reveal a bouncy lift.

Don’t Overload on Product

It’s tempting to reach for every volumising product on the shelf, but overloading your hair with sprays, mousses, and creams can often have the opposite effect. Instead, choose one or two lightweight products that suit your hair type.

A texturising spray, like *Eufora – Full Effect* can work wonders without weighing your hair down. Apply sparingly to the roots and mid-lengths for best results.

Get the Right Cut

The right haircut is essential for boosting volume. Fine hair tends to look fuller with shorter or mid-length styles, as longer hair can become too heavy and appear flat. A blunt cut, where the ends are all the same length, can make your hair look thicker. 

Alternatively, soft layers can add movement and body, especially when styled correctly. Speak to your stylist about what would work best for your hair type and face shape.

Refresh Your Hair Between Washes

Fine hair can quickly become limp, especially a day or two after washing. Dry shampoo is a fine-haired girl’s best friend for refreshing your look and adding volume. A quick spritz of a product like *Sensus – After Pillow* can absorb excess oils and add texture, making your hair look fuller and fresher.

 Consider Colour

Sometimes, a bit of clever colouring can create the appearance of thicker hair. Subtle highlights/ lowlights can add depth and dimension making the hair appear fuller. Ask your Stylist about which techniques they would recommend for you personally.

Fine hair doesn’t have to mean flat hair. With the right products, techniques, and a bit of practice, you can achieve a voluminous look that lasts all day – even in the unpredictable British weather. 

Whether you’re looking for a quick lift or a more long-term solution, these tips should help you on your way to fuller, thicker-looking locks!
