Hi, My hair is quite fine and at the moment in a chin length bob style although I always where it up. My hair never seems to have any volume even though I’ve tried it seems everything. If I don’t use hairspray it just goes limp. how do I get my hair more bouncy and keep a style. I’ve even thought about having a perm. thanks

Thanks for your message.
I am not saying no to having a perm, as done properly it can be a great way to create body in otherwise lifeless hair but there are a few things you could try first before for going for something so permanent. Also it is important to have an elasticity test before any type of perm, as your hair sounds to me as though it might be lacking in elasticity, in which case a perm is not the best option for you and it will be more a case of building up your hair’s strength before concerning yourself with having lots of body. ...More >
The bob style you describe sounds like a good length for making fine hair look thicker but there are also lots of cutting techniques which can help. I would avoid having lots of layers, they might give body and movement in thicker hairstyles but they will take away the weight which your hair needs. Instead I would create movement through secret, internal layers. We have a technique called scaffolding which we use in the salon and it’s a fantastic way to support fine hair from within.
Colour is also a great way to add body to fine hair. Highlights, carefully placed throughout, will give the illusion of movement, and this doesn’t mean you have to go blonde work with your natural tones to find a highlight colour right for you. I would also try having a gloss colour to add shine and swell the hair, again giving it more life. A gloss colour close to your natural hair will avoid regrowth problems but will plump the hair shaft and make it easier to blowdry with body.
Finally find a light weight mousse to prep the hair before blowdrying. Tec ni art Volume Lift mousse, has a nozzle which allows you to apply it directly to the roots, and has great hold without being sticky or stiff. I would apply this throughout the hair before drying, blast the hair lightly upside down for a few seconds getting the roots all dry in an upwards direction, then tip your head back and dry with a large natural brissle, round brush. I would avoid over drying the hair as this will make it fly away, so I would dry it quickly in large sections and add a few rollers for smoothness and body. Finally I would use a light hairspray directly at the roots, Kerastase Laque Couture is fantastic for this.
If you have looked at the cut and colour, are using the right products and still feel that you need that extra bit of help then a perm might be a good option.
Hope this all helps and if you’d like more personal advice please call into the salon and I’d happily take a look at your hair with you.
Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Anita asks:
Over the last year I have been losing my hair I am only 24 years old and my hair is getting so thin that you can see my scalp. This is really upsetting as I used to have really thick hair. I don’t know what to do haircut wise I have black hair mid length and it’s really thin hair at the top. I just want my hair to look thicker on top and look normal. But don’t know what hairstyle I need for this type of problem I have. Can you help?

There are many reasons that your hair is thinning - most of the reasons are diet, hormones or stress related. Go to any good chemist like Boots etc and buy Nourkrin extra strength - it is a supplement that needs to be taken daily - you will see a total difference within months. Next, you need to opt for a shorter style - bob length or slightly longer, as it sounds to me as if your hair is quite long. Going shorter will give the appearance of thicker hair.

I am 21 years old.I have a medium length ,wavy and almost thin hair. I just put a pony tail or plait my hair rarely. I am having this hair style from past 10 years. I am scared to go in for layer cut because I feel that they may make my hair look even thinner.But I am bored of my hair style.Kindly suggest me something different so that I don’t lose my hair density and length .

Hello,
When thinking about layers, they tend to give more volume at the root, as the hair is cut shorter and lighter - this then makes the ends thinner so wouldn’t be the best option for you if your hair is quite thin. The best way to create thicker looking hair is to have the ends cut quite bluntly, with the back slightly shorter than the front to make the hair fall forwards and create the illusion of thicker and longer hair. Graduation builds weight which will in turn make your hair look thicker. At the moment, blunt cut long bobs are really popular, especially those that are all one length - taking into consideration your face shape and the way your hair falls, this could be a great option for you.
