Your Hair Type and What It Means
The word ‘fine‘, in terms of hair, refers to the thickness, width and/or diameter of the individual hair strand. This is one of the main differences between fine and thin hair, as when looking at fine hair, you are looking at the physical size of the hair.
It’s important to note, you can have fine hair, and have a lot of it!
Other Characteristics Of Fine Hair
- Fine hair can be more easily straightened.
- Each strand is lightweight.
- Fine hair can be fragile and prone to breakage, due to the small diameter of each strand.
- It tends to be more difficult to style, due to a lack of volume.
- Fine hair can become greasy more easily.
Dry hair is characterized by a lack of sufficient moisture and natural oils, which are essential for maintaining its softness, shine, and overall health. This condition can lead to hair that feels rough, looks dull, and is more prone to damage and breakage.

Products
Enhance your waves and curls with products that nourish but add volume and hold to your hair. Reach for shampoos that plump and tonics that thicken. Steer clear of anything too heavy or oil-based as you don’t want to weigh down your curls.
Shampoo and Conditioner
For fine curly hair like yours, you want to build body without using products that will strip the hair. Although your hair needs nourishing, don’t use too much conditioner, after washing your hair, as it will weigh down your curls.
Treat
Light moisturising and nourishing treatments are key to keeping your curls healthy and in shape.
Pre-Style
Pre-styling is the first step in styling your hair. You will generally add a pre-styler to damp hair.
A hair mousse or protective prepping spray can help prevent fine hair from breaking and a thickening pre-styler will help to boost and plump your hair.
Style
As your hair is fine, we don’t recommend using heavy styling products, like thick wax, as this will weigh the hair down.
Instead, try a powder or clay, you will only need to use a small amount of product.
