Thu 24 Mar 2022 Blog

 

First, know that there are three thicknesses of hair: fine, medium and thick hair. Fine hair is generally more fragile and tends to break easily. Thick hair, on the other hand, is more resistant and needs more nourishing products. Depending on your hair thickness, you must use a specific shampoo and product that correspond to your scalp and hair type. If your hair fiber is fine, you will be able to find out how to take care of your hair in this article.

 

Fine hair requires light and gentle products so as not to weigh it down. Too aggressive shampoos risk damaging them. Fine hair also needs deep hydration. It is therefore important to choose products containing hydrating ingredients such as aloe vera or shea butter. In this article, we are going to show you which shampoo for fine hair to use.

 

 

 

 

Fine hair: what natural shampoo to use?

 

The caracteristics of a fine hair

 

First, let's start by understanding what fine hair is. A fine hair is a hair with a smaller diameter than a normal hair: in general, it is less thick than a standard sewing thread.

With such a small diameter, a fine hair is also more fragile. It tends to:

 

  • Be more brittle
  • Often lack volume
  • Grease easily
  • Split easily

 

To take the best care of your fine hair, choose a sulfate-free natural shampoo. You should know that on shampoos specially made for fine hair, sulfates are very aggressive detergents that tend to dry out the hair. They are also irritating to the scalp. Natural sulfate-free shampoos are therefore perfect for fine hair.

 

Inappropriate care and shampoos, too harsh treatments, too much bleaching or the use of heat without protection can weaken them even more.

 

Being determined by genetics, the diameter of a hair cannot be changed. It is nevertheless possible to give volume to a naturally fine hair. With the right shampoo and care, we can help strengthen them and even give them volume!

 

 

What is the best shampoo for fine hair?

 

This nature of hair tends to grease again quickly, so it is better to adopt a shampoo that fights precisely against this. Also choose a natural shampoo, free of silicone, without fatty substances, to avoid weighing down fine hair, which needs lightness to get volume.

What beauty routine for fine hair?

 

In addition to the Mineral Volumizing Shampoo, we recommend some natural and organic care products, particularly suitable for fine hair.

 

 

The Hydrating Care, to provide the necessary hydration to brittle hair. No-rinse, this spray treatment will revitalize fine hair gently and lightly. It is particularly rich in vegetable keratin substitute, proteins and hyaluronic acid to provide all the necessary care.

 

The Ocean Mist as a leave-in styling treatment: with a few sprays at the roots, the Ocean Mist restores volume to fine hair and texturizes it for an after-beach "wavy" effect. Formulated with the same salinity as the ocean, it instantly remineralizes the hair.

 

The Botanic Oil is an ultra nourishing oil, particularly suitable for dry and/or split ends hair. Its professional complex of 5 organic oils brings nutrition, protection and shine. Non-greasy and 100% natural, it can be applied to dry hair daily or in an oil bath, perfect for protecting ends and repairing split ends!

 

Finally, the 100% natural and ORGANIC Hair Force dietary supplements, based on French seaweed and hemp oil, can complete this routine and strengthen the hair over the long term! You can also use food supplements with brewer's yeast to strengthen your hair. Beer is rich in vitamins and minerals, which makes it very nourishing for the hair. It also contains procerin, a substance that stimulates hair growth.

 

 

Should I ban coloring if I have fine hair?

 

The best solution is to go for a natural color which, unlike chemical colors, does not weaken the hair fiber by penetrating to the heart of the hair. The mineral coloring, without ammonia or MEA, is deposited only on the superficial layers of the hair. The plant-based coloring, 100% based on organic plants, coats the hair and acts as a treatment that will care for it even more.

 

 

Natural coloring coupled with a Mineral Balayage is a great way to play on nuances and give a depth effect to fine hair, so there is no banishing coloring!

 

 

How to thicken fine hair?

 

To give volume to your hair, regularly make hair masks, an oil bath composed of essential oil, such as vegetable oils with almond oil, castor oil, jojoba oil and Argan oil. You can also use coconut oil and ylang-ylang known to accelerate growth.

 

Apply the mixture to damp hair, leave for 30 minutes under a hot towel then wash your hair with a gentle shampoo.

 

Rinse thoroughly with cold water to close the scales of the hair and thus gain shine.

 

For a styling effect, spray a little bit of floral water on your fine hair then dry it with a diffuser.

 

This natural trick will give volume to your fine hair.
