Frequently Asked
Questions : Hair Care and Hair Styling Myths
Lots of layers
will give your fine or thin hair more body?
FALSE! Lots of
women think if they layer their hair, they'll get more volume.
But layering actually thins out the hair and takes out the bulk.
It is recommended to angle the hair in prominent places around
the face, while keeping layers minimal elsewhere.
Blow-drying can
damage fine or thin hair?
FALSE! Heat from
a blow-dryer won't actually damage your hair. Blow-drying incorrectly,
however, can damage hair by creating static and flyaways. Your
best bet is to lift hair from the roots and move the blow-dryer
in the same direction as your brush, in order to smooth the cuticle
and give your hair lift.
Coloring your
hair can add volume?
TRUE! Color can
make hair look thicker and give it a lot more volume. Go easy
on it, though - overprocessing might cause damage.
Conditioning
fine or thin hair will make it limp?
FALSE! A heavy
conditioner that's not made specifically for fine or thin hair
could weigh your hair down. Using a quality lightweight conditioner
is recommended for keeping fine or thin hair fluffy and lightweight.
Apply it mostly to the ends of your hair, where it's needed most,
for tons of volume and movement.
Switching product
brands is necessary for best results?
FALSE! Your hair's
response to a product doesn't really change over time, but other
factors - a change in environment, for example - might make it
seem that way. Sometimes it's the climate, like humidity or the
sun, that makes hair react differently. Product build-up can
also change the way your hair behaves. A good deep cleansing
shampoo is recommended to strip away build-up and give your hair
a fresh start.
Styling foam
is a good way to add volume to fine or thin hair?
TRUE! Be sure
you use a foam that's specifically designed for your type of
hair, so it won't end up looking heavy and limp. A Volumizing
Foam that has a lightweight formula makes it perfect for creating
long-lasting hairstyles full of volume and movement.
