Thickening your hair

Who wants flat, wimpy hair, the kind that lacks body or bounce?
Limp hair is almost always very fine hair, because fine hair shafts
don’t have enough thickness to maintain their stiffness and to
stand away from the scalp. Hair that’s naturally curved takes up
more room and makes hair appear fuller than it actually is. (People
from Mediterranean areas, such as France, Spain, and Italy, are
famous for lush, wavy, full-bodied hair.)
Using styling gels or a mousse that attach to your hair shafts can
give your hair a thicker appearance, even if “flat as a pancake”
describes your normal hair to a T. Gels and mousses increase the
roughness of the hair in addition to giving the appearance of a
thicker hair shaft.
The increased roughness of the hairs makes them bond to each
other, which makes your hair appear fuller. When your hair is fine,
it’s not a good idea to use smoothing products that take away the
rough character of the hair because your hair can end up appear-
ing even thinner than it actually is.
You may have to try several different mousses and gels to find
what works best for your hair because there are so many products
on the market that you need to experiment to find the one that fits
you needs best). Mousses and some gels are particularly good for
fine hair to increase the sense of hair bulk.
