MAKE THIN HAIR LOOK THICKER
Now you have the foundations sorted with the right shampoo for fine hair, we have a few more quick tricks to make hair look thicker. So, get ready to revamp your haircare routine with these little beauties!
- Swap your conditioner for a lightweight option
We all know that good things come in twos and our Aussie Aussome Volume shampoo is no exception. Grab it’s mate, Aussie Aussome Volume Conditioner and apply a small coin size amount to the lengths of your hair, avoiding the roots. Conditioner’s a key player in your haircare routine because it hydrates hair and hydration is the foundation of healthier looking and feelings strands. A lightweight option is your best friend if you have fine hair because it won’t jeopardize volume gained from a cleansing shampoo. Our Aussie Volume Collection’s made light-weight formula is designed to be gentle, leaving hair voluminous.
A-beauty tip: Don’t skip the conditioner. A lack of moisture can cause hair damage, from frizz to split ends. Dry hair also struggles to hold colour treatments because the strands, depending on how damaged they are, absorb different amounts of the ingredients used during the process. So, the colour won’t distribute evenly or hold as long as healthier hair that’s well hydrated.
Give the ends of your hair a quick spritz with a light conditioning spray to make sure tresses stay in top shape. If your hair’s fine and thirstier than a tourist lost in the outback, a lightweight conditioning spray, like our Miracle Moist Conditioning Spray, is like an oasis. Infused with authentic Australian Macadamia Nut Oil, it’s the lightweight moisture bomb your fine hair’s been craving.
- Use dry shampoo when styling
What did we do before dry shampoo?! It makes day 3 hair look like new, it’s a saviour for people prone to oily roots and it’s a miracle worker for the fine-haired of us looking for a bit of body and volume. It’s the perfect way to give the illusion of thicker hair, even if you were born a little thinner on top. But don’t go overboard… think light feathery sprays and a little ruffle and style with your fingertips. Don’t think fire extinguisher. Spray a little of Wash + Blow Boost Me Up Dry Shampoo after a cleanse and condition for a bit of boost to those roots.
A volumising hairspray like our Uplift Your Hair Hairspray is the perfect way to seal the deal on thicker looking hair. We’ve cleansed, lightly conditioned and given our roots a little boost with some dry shampoo, it’s time to lock this baby down. Tip your head upside down and spray about 15-20cm away from the roots, using your fingertips to separate strands. Tip your head right way up and work your hair into the style you’re after, being careful not to flatten the roots too much.
