YOUR HAIR CARE ROUTINE FOR FINE HAIR
If you dream of thick, luscious locks but your {fine hair} is feeling limp and lifeless, then the time has come to give your hair the love, strength and volume it deserves.
But first, a quick {hair care} lesson: the terms “fine hair” and “thin hair” are often used interchangeably, but they aren’t the same thing. Fine hair refers to hair strands that have a small circumference. The individual strands themselves are fine, making them more prone to tangling and breaking as well as greasiness. While fine hair is often associated with thin hair, thin hair actually refers to density of hair. Not all fine hair is thin - you can in fact have thick fine hair (thin strands but a lot of them!).
But whether you have thick fine hair or thin fine hair, your hair care routine will be pretty much the same, as the end goal in both cases is to nourish strands, limit damage and add volume. In this guide, {Cult Concierge} expert {Sarah} has outlined her recommended hair care routine, including the best hair care and styling products for fine hair…
1. START WITH PRE-SHAMPOO TREATMENT FOR FINE HAIR
