Thin limp hair can invite a myriad of problems if handled incorrectly. There are several things you can do so that the combination of these hair conditions does not affect your appearance and confidence.

Try hairstyles with layers.

The very first thing you can do is choose the right haircut. A hairstyle layer is a basic trick you can do to 'shape' the hair and add to the testure.

To make the hair appear thicker, vary the direction of the roll when curling it with a curling wand. This will make curly hair look more intense and the illusion of thicker hair. If your hair is long, you can also use a hair roller in the middle to lift the roots of your hair.

Choose the right bangs.

This tip will be effective especially for those of you who are beginning to be disturbed in the part of the hair near the forehead which is often limp. The solution? Cut the bangs! There are various variations of bangs that you can try, both front and side bangs.

For those with round faces you can also try the curtain bangs style. Bangs on thin and limp hair, you need more effort to style it, for example by brushing your hair or blow dry using a brush comb (round brush).

Use shampoo and conditioner with volumizing effect.

This may not need to be explained further, but on limp hair you need help from shampoo and conditioner with a volumizing formula. Choosing the right shampoo and conditioner can be the main foundation to keep your hair in volume all day long.

Avoid shampoos and conditioners that can moisturize with extra. Our choices are Dove Volume Nourishment Shampoo and Dove Volume Nourishment Conditioner.

Both of these products are formulated with Oxyfusion technology which can nourish hair while making it look up to 95% more volume. By using this chain, your hair will retain moisture without making it feel limp.

Use a hair mousse.

If you think hair mousse is only used to give texture and definition to curly hair, you are wrong. If used properly, a hair mousse can be your ticket to get beautiful volume hair.

The trick, use the mousse on the hair half wet. Do not use on dry hair because it will only make your hair limp. Use at the root of the hair but avoid the scalp to prevent build-up on the scalp.

Understand how to dry hair properly.

Elena added that all hairstyles will last longer if the styling starts with wet hair. "Dry hair naturally tends to be flat and limp, compared to blow dry techniques using a hair dryer."

If you are worried that your hair will dry if you use a blow dryer, you can outsmart it by using a heat protection spray. Our favorite is the TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Flat Iron Smoothing Spray which can protect your hair from the negative effects of heat styling. Spray this spray in a state of half wet hair then dry your hair with a hair dryer as usual.

Upgrade how to blow dry your hair.

Remember that limp and flat hair is usually caused by hair roots? You can try to change the direction of your blow dry hair with the zig zag technique, or by combing your hair upward so that the hair roots are more raised. Also consider tips on blow dry hair at home to get the volume of hair appear.

Choose the right hair equipment.

Voluminous hair needs a comb that can make it easier to style your hair to get the ideal hair shape. So that hair roots can be lifted to the maximum, choose a soft round brush and a hair dryer that has a temperature regulator so that your hair is not easily damaged.

Thin or damaged hair is very sensitive to heat, so, try to adjust the temperature and check by directing the hair dryer on the palm of your hand to get the right temperature.

To add the ideal volume to the occasional curly hair with a curling wand. Choose curling wand with diameter, use hair rollers or curling wand to style it in wavy style. Interested in trying beach waves style? We have an easy beach waves video tutorial!

Choose your hair style wisely.

Ballerina buns hairstyles, top knots, or ponytails might not be the first option for you to try thin hair. Hair that is tightly pulled back will make it look thinner. To outsmart, you can try braid hair styles with loose waves.

A little tip, you can still use the top knot style to lift the hair roots. For example you will go out at night and you want your hair to look volume, create a style of top knots and leave your hair all day. When pulled down, the roots of the hair will look twice as thick as usual. Change part of the hair to add volume instantly.

Sasak inner hair.

Backcombing or sasak can you make an option on flat hair. If you want a more durable bun or braid style, take the center of the hair as close as possible to the hair root. Many worry that the hair will be damaged when it is brushed down, but in fact, hair brushing is an effective way to press the roots of the hair to stand up perfectly. Just make sure you regularly use conditioner so your hair stays moist and not brittle.
