My Hair Is . . . Fine + Limp

Over the next few weeks, I will be starting a new series called “My Hair Is…”, where I will focus on specific hair types and give recommendations for styling products & general hair fixes. This is the first post in that series for fine & limp hair. If you have a specific hair type you would like me to address, leave a comment & let me know!

Fine and/or limp hair usually requires a bit of testing in order to discover the perfect balance of products. You don’t want to apply TOO many things because it will end up weighing limp hair down, but you need a little something to help support the style. I always lean towards mousses versus creams or heavier volumizing products for fine hair.

My all-time favorite is, of course, Aquage Uplifting Foam. And I’ve really enjoyed the life I can get on my own hair from the Living Proof Full Shampoo. Other shampoos that are great for adding volume are Pureology Pure Volume, Redken Body Full and Kenra even makes a Thickening Shampoo now!

For all over lift, try Pureology Levitation Mist or Kevin Murphy Anti.Gravity.Spray. Both are fantastic for delivering fluff to the middle of your hair.

Try a flexible hairspray like Living Proof Flex Shaping Hairspray when you are curling your hair to help hold the curls. Or spray a bit at the roots if you are flat ironing it to add an extra pop!

Finally, a stronger hairspray can really help keep your hair from totally melting mid-day, so try Kenra Volume 25 Hairspray. It’s a strong hold, but it’s layerable and really forgiving!
