From Thin Hair to Thick Hair in Minutes

Thin hair has its advantages: It air dries quickly, requires less product and styles faster. However, if you want to achieve a mega-voluminous look, thin hair can present some challenges. The good news? With the right styling techniques, you can achieve a much fuller effect even if you weren't born with a lot of hair. We've got some of our best tips for making thicker hair look doable to share. Read on for 10 totally doable, quick ways to whip fine hair into a full, bouncy mane.

1. add some waves.

Straight, finely textured hair lies flat on the head. For an immediate effect, try to smooth the hair with a Curling iron or Straightener to style . "Adding a wavy texture almost doubles the density of fine hair," says Mo, Art Director Stylist at ARBUTI, Munich. Start the preparation with a Heat protection spray like John Frieda Spray. "These products not only protect the hair strand from heat, but also provide hold for a longer lasting curl," he says.

2. do not leave the hair dryer off.

Air drying is much faster if you have fine hair, but the Blow-dry can be worthwhile. With the right technique, you can achieve a much fuller look . Stylist and owner Ebru recommends starting with a volumising product to prepare the hair (she likes the product Redken Aerate ). It recommends the Braun Satin Hair 7. Here we have another test of the Best hairdryer Test winners who love hairdressers.

3. rock bangs or a bob.

Choosing the right haircut can do wonders to create the illusion of thicker locks. If you are thin on top, consider getting fringes to camouflage a sparse hairline. "Either a blunt cut or softer, longer fringes with a side part will cover or smooth out a thinning hairline," says Heidhorn. She also warns that long hairstyles, while pretty, can weigh down fine hair. Instead, choose a length that makes your ends appear fuller, like a cropped bob. What about layers? "There's a myth that layers create volume because they're less heavy and don't weigh hair down," says Heidorn. Although light layers can add texture, movement and lift to hair, they can be particularly difficult on fine hair, which tends to lie flat and shapeless if not styled just right. When choosing a layered haircut, remember that daily styling may require some extra elbow grease on your part. Heidhorn recommends contacting your hairdresser for detailed tips.

4. try clip-in extensions.

Have you ever dreamed of rocking a high ponytail as thick and long as Ariana Grande's ? If you have thin hair, you can achieve this voluminous look with the help of some trusted clip-in extensions. "Clip-ins provide instant length and fullness," says Mo. "Plus, they're easily removable for minimal damage to your natural hair." Extensions that are glued, bonded or micro-linked may not be best suited to fine hair, which tends to be more fragile. Therefore, stick to non-binding clip-ins. Try Rich Choices-In real hair extensions, as the famous hairdresser Mo swears .

Add lowlights or highlights.

A little colour goes a long way in developing hair size. "In general, the darker you get, the more depth you create," says Ebru, who suggests enhancing your natural colour with low light. Conversely, some well-placed, sun-kissed highlights can add warmth and texture to darker hair. If you opt for highlights, asking your stylist for a natural-looking, seamlessly blended colour is your best bet, Balayage to perform - a hand-painted highlighting technique .

6. spray on a root concealer.

We'll let you in on a secret - Root Concealer does not serve only for touching up greys. Root concealing sprays may be the quickest way to achieve a fuller appearance to your crown. We recommend Rita Hazan's Root Concealer Touch-Up Spray Temporary Grey Concealer to mask exposed parts and thin hairlines.

7. turn your part.

Sometimes the best solution is the simplest. Changing your part is a quick and easy way to add body to fine, straight hair. After years of parting your hair on the same side, it's essentially trained to lie limp. "Flipping your part creates great volume and fullness because you're taking the hair out of its natural fall," says Nordstrom. Try flipping things upside down and you'll be amazed at how quickly your locks lift.

8. sprinkle some hair-forming fibres on top.

If you have a widened part or thinning hairline, Toppik Hair Building Fibers. Your new secret weapon. Toppik is made from keratin, a key protein in hair, skin and nails. It contains statically charged fibres that bond directly to your strands and blend undetectably with your natural hair to create a thicker appearance. Sprinkle the fibres on sparse areas of your hair and Voilas - an instant transformation. It is also wind, rain and sweat resistant, so you no longer have to worry about run-off.

9. avoid products containing alcohol.

The next time you buy a hair care product, be sure to check the ingredients. If it contains alcohol, skip it. By drying out your scalp and hair shaft, alcohol strips your hair of sebum, a natural oil it needs to prevent breakage. Simply put, you need sebum to keep your hair strong and moisturised. Adds Heidhorn : "If you don't use oil and cream-based products because you're afraid they'll weigh your hair down, make sure to use a hair mask every other week to restore moisture to your scalp."

10. take the round brush.

You probably left your teasing combs behind in the 1980s, but it might be time to brush up on your backcombing technique. "Teasing is a classic way to get more lift from your crown," says Nordstrom. She was happy to share a lesson in Backcombing 101. "Lift a section of hair directly behind your head," Nordstrom explained. "Press down with a Round brush three to five smooth, even strokes from the centre of the head of hair to the base, creating a "cushion". Next, take the section of hair directly in front of the cushion and twist it back and forth. This will hide the teased part and leave you with a smooth height and instant fullness. " We promise you won't end up with an outrageously outdated bouffant!
