The Fine Hair Glow-Up: How to Style, Care For & Love Your Lighter Locks

Fine hair gets a bit of a bad rep… but we’re here to set the record straight. It’s not always a bad thing — in fact, there’s a lot to love about it.

Fine hair is usually quicker to dry, easier to style, and salon appointments are often shorter and sweeter. Colour tends to lift beautifully, you use less product, and you don’t need to put your hair through as much heat or stress to achieve gorgeous styles.

And if you’re craving that fuller feel? We’ve got plenty of tricks up our sleeve to create the illusion of thicker, bouncier hair without compromising the health of your strands.

✨ Our go-to styling tips for enhancing fine hair:

• Backcombing is your best friend for adding volume at the root.

• Curling the hair gives the appearance of texture and fullness.

• Styling products like Dust It powder, root boost sprays, and lightweight hairsprays help hold volume without weighing the hair down.

• Dry shampoo isn’t just for day-two hair — it’s amazing for adding texture and grip when styling.

  
  
  
  

⚠️ Things to keep in mind with fine hair:

• If you want constant fullness, you’ll need to stay on top of maintenance — extensions, daily styling, and backcombing can help but require regular care.

• Fine hair is often more fragile, so frequent colour changes can cause damage faster.

• You might be limited with certain cutting styles — too many layers or wispy finishes can actually make the hair appear thinner.

• Heavy products can weigh the hair down and make it look limp.

• It can also get oily quicker, which is why lighter products and regular washing/styling advice from your stylist really help.
