Finishes are not easy to tame. They are generally soft, fragile and brittle. They split more quickly than normal hair, with a tendency to re-grease faster. Above all, it looks flat and lacking in volume...
Not everyone is lucky enough to have lush, beautiful hair, and while you can't radically change the nature of your hair, there are some simple tricks and solutions for adding volume to fine, flat hair.
Why does fine hair lack volume?
While some people are blessed with full, thick, lush hair, others have naturally fine, flat hair. In the vast majority of cases, the reason is genetic. While normal hair has a diameter of around 70 micrometers, fine hair is generally between 50 and 60 micrometers thick. The hair's lack of volume stems from this thinness from root to tip. Because of this thinness, fine hair tends to flatten more easily on the scalp, resulting in flat hair. Nevertheless, there are simple solutions for adding volume to even the finest hair.
Choose the right cut
To add volume to fine, flat hair, you first need the right haircut. Certain cuts accentuate hair volume, such as short cuts, which are best for fine hair. Long hair is more conducive to the flat effect. Long hair is heavier than short hair, and the more gravity weighs on it, the flatter it tends to look. So opt, for example, for a bob to add volume at the ends, or for a layered style to give your lengths a boost.
Another simple technique is to crimp the strand from the underside of the head to the roots with a fine comb, then set with a little hairspray. This can give a subtle volume effect. You can also simply tie your hair up in a bun, ponytail or braid, preferably high up.
You can also opt for volumizing strips, placed at the hairline. They work miracles and are undetectable. You can learn how to apply them yourself or visit a Maison de Coiffure Christophe-Nicolas Biot. You'll find all the hair accessories you need and the best advice on how to add volume to your hair.

The right gestures to adopt when you have fine hair
If you have fine hair, it's essential to limit the use of straighteners and hot plates, which can only damage your fine hair. The ideal solution is to brush your mane regularly in the direction of the hair with a soft brush made of natural fibers. This way, you can collect excess sebum from your scalp at the roots and spread it throughout your hair. This is essential for moisturizing and adding volume to hair, especially lengths.
Don't hesitate to massage your scalp thoroughly after each shampoo to stimulate hair growth and strengthen hair shafts. You should also rinse your hair with cold water, as this will close the scales and discipline your hair. Once washed, towel-dry your lengths without rubbing, starting at the roots.
The right care to give volume to fine hair
Shampoos, conditioners and other volume-enhancing products are your best allies. However, you should always choose the best products, essentially natural products, which will preserve the health of your hair while giving you the volume effect you desire. Choose natural products suited to fine hair care. The aim of your hair care routine should be, above all, to pamper your hair without weighing it down.
Gentle, light moisturizers let your scalp breathe. And don't forget thatoptimal moisturizing ensures that your style stays in place, giving you a greater chance of volume. Nourishing masks for fine hair add shine and volume. They nourish and protect your scalp without breaking the volume or weighing down your hair.
A dry shampoo is often ideal to give your hair a little lift, just before an evening out, for example. There are also dietary supplements packed with vitamins and various trace elements to nourish the hair while fortifying and strengthening it, and ultimately giving it volume.
