Keep Your Hair (and Scalp) Hydrated
This one is something of a given, and will be addressed by the following strategies below, but the main takeaway is that if you want healthy, strong hair—just like a healthy, strong body—hydration is key. Don’t do things that will dehydrate your scalp, such as smoke or drink heavily, go out in the sun without a hat or use chemical-heavy products that contain alcohol, which will ultimately sap your hair and scalp of necessary moisture. If you find that your scalp is flaking, sub in a dandruff shampoo once a week to rid yourself of dryness.
Style It Right
First, you want to dry it gently. A blow dryer can give your fine hair more volume, but use the warm (not hot) setting in order to dry but not torch the hair’s natural proteins. And try ditching the comb. If you’re too aggressive with combing and brushing, you run the risk of making thin hair look limp and it will fall flat against the scalp. To give the hair more natural texture and body, try styling it with your fingers, using whatever water-soluble product you like. But if you have really fine or thinning hair, you might want to experiment with a hair powder that adds a little camouflage while boosting volume at the root without weighing your hair down.
