Fine hair is a kind of hair that can be described as silky or silk-like. Due to its long natural history, some people with fine hair have rich historic roots. These can lead to beautiful, flowing locks.
Other people with fine hair may experience difficulty in straightening or coiling it. These tools can help!
Many people have found success with hairstyling tools such as combs, rollers, and brushes. A few of these tools are listed below, but there are many more that are not! Try looking for them on the Internet or by name: comb, rollers, brush.

Soft blow dryer
Getting a fine hair to cool down is the best way to style it. Getting a soft blow dryer can be tricky because you need one that will not damage the hair.
The best blow dryers are ones that will not cause heat damage to the hair. This includes the use of cheap blow dryers and hot tools. Using a good warm tool will help keep the length in place while drying.
To really get an effect like using a heat protective spray would do, you must use a high quality product. Many people use cheap spray products but they may have trouble with the heat being too strong.
Heat protectant spray
Increasingly, people are using hairdryers in combination with curling tools. This is a great way to learn more about diffusing a dryer or how to use a curling tool!
Curling tools can be difficult to use at first. It is best to start with a small size and work your way up. One of the main problems new curlers encounter is that when they turn the barrel right, it gets stuck, and they have to make a big effort to turn it left.
Dryers can be hard to time correctly. Make sure you are setting the hair dryer down on the surface of the hair before you let it sit up. If you need to add more time, add some water into the dryer to compensate for heat loss!

Curling iron
The best way to straighten fine hair is with a curling iron. This tool can be used either on wet hair or dried hair.
Wet hair will result in moreHM (halo method) or more CC (comb and clamp) mode as the iron is being heated. The more HM or CC that result, the tighter the curl.
Dry hair can be used if you do not want to add any hairspray to it. Just make sure to keep your fingers and your wrist covered while doing so to prevent burn.
To use the curling iron, first wrap it with a large international doughnut-type shape of cloth or paper to prevent it from getting dented by your hairs. Then, place your dry hair on top of the iron and clamp it down.
Diffuse hair dryer
´diffuse´ is a hairdryer term that refers to changing the temperature of hair by being thermal about it. Neatly, you place your hair in your hands and it starts to warm from the heat.
Using a diffused hair dryer can be confusing at first. How do you reach all of my sections? How do you style it? These questions will come up as you learn how to use this tool.
The best way to use a diffuser is to start with a small amount of oil on your hands and then gently place the section of dry hair that you want to warm. You can then grab a larger amount of oil and apply it onto the dry hair or simply let it massage into the dry hair.
Then, pull away slowly letting all of the steam release as you do so.
Fine hair picks
There are many ways to style fine hair. Some people find them charmingly disheveled, while others find them beautiful. Either way, you can!
Follicles can be shaped, layer added on top of other pieces, or completely removed. The options are endless!
Many people pick one of the two main ways to dress fine hair. One way is to put a low end protein treatment and/or a protective cap on it. The second is to add some volume or length by using bigger sized products like hairsprays and curling irons.
And both of these solutions usually work in the heat! Protein treatments and protective caps prevent heat damage while being worn. Adding some length and width with bigger products helps with adding volume into the look.
Comb with teeth that are close together
This is my favorite hairstyling tool of all time. A comb with very sharp, parallel sides can be used to create a sleek, fine hairstyle.
Using a comb with very fine teeth can be difficult at first. Start by using a small one and working up to a larger one.
The smaller the tooth the more resistant it must be to my hair. My hair must be thin enough to avoid heat damage, yet long enough to use a comb comfortably.
Once you get the hang of it, you will be designing your own magic combs! You can use them for straightening your hair or creating different looks like wavy, curly, tight curls, loose curls, etc.
Use a humidifier in your home
When fine hair is dry, it can look especially frizzy. When it is coarse, it can look very straight-forward.
Washing your hair too often can lead to dry skin and tingly sensations in the hair. This is because the heat has broken down some of the natural moisture in the hair.
Dry hair can be a lot harder to style than wet hair. It can stick to products in an odd way, and when styled with a straightener or curling iron, it can break when you use the power required.
A humidifier may helpiwhenthe temperature changes that occur when your hair gets wet. If your hairs gets very dry, you may want to consider getting one.
And seeing as how they are useful tools for people with fine or coarse hair, they should be seen at least once.
Use a hydrating hair mask once a week
Keeping hair healthy can be hard when you are running out of stylers and curling tools! Luckily, there are many great products that can be used to keep hair healthy.
one of the best things you can do to keep your hair hydrated is to use a serums. These are typically not very heavy, so they can be used on damp fine hair. Serums can also contain biotin which is great for curls. Biotin is a natural dietary vitamin that helps protect hair from dryness and damage.
to add some lift to your waves, try using a cremes. These tend to be thicker than serums, but not quite jelly-like.
