The problems, which people with fine hair encounter are seemingly endless and frustrating to say the least. There is room for improvement and some advice to be given with some tips being more relevant to men, whilst other address women’s thinning hair problem better. Some recent product development has led to finding a rather universal solution, which works just as well for both genders.

A usual step for men with fine and thinning hair is cutting it short and combing it over or perming and coloring it to add some body.

Women however, have far more choices in improving their hair appearance with longer hair options and different hair styles. There are tips for both men and women.

1. Get yourself a Perm.

With thin and fine hair, getting a perm could be just the thing for you. Achieving a few curls could get you the thicker looking hair you’ve been striving for. Just be sure to familiarise your stylist with the problem of your fine hair, so that they can adjust the strength of your perm accordingly. A gentler one would still do the job.

2. Highlights.

Your hair shaft instantly gets thicker with the hair dye. Therefore getting highlights immediately makes your hair to appear thicker and fuller, giving you a better chance of choosing a hair style for your fine hair, that will compliment its natural shape. Of course you should be cautious with different hair dyes’ strengths and therefore choose a mild and kinder to your hair version. It is best to consult with your stylist beforehand. I recommend perming first and then adding some color respectively.

3. Adding Microfibers.

With newly developed laser cutting techniques, scientists have managed to develop, perhaps the most universal and rather effective solution to thinning hair. Microfibers are applied on your hair within a few minutes and are a perfect every-day solution to thinning hair. It works on the same principle as applying mascara on your eye-lashes, and it’s completely harmless.

The only disadvantage is that it only works for fine hair and can not do anything for your completely bald patches.
