Avoid Tangles For Thicker Hair

When you have thin hair, it’s important to be gentle with your hair. Rough brushing is something you definitely want to avoid, as this can cause more hair loss. The problem is thin hair is more likely to become tangled as it is more susceptible to static and wind. Using teasing combs, hairspray and other products, which are advertised to make your hair look thicker, can also cause some serious tangling.

Conditioner often seems like the solution to the causes of tangled hair. However, the heaviest, most tangle-busting conditioners tend to weigh down your hair, which will cancel out any bounce and body your hair may naturally have.

We suggest the following for what you can do to prevent tangles:

• Brush your hair before you shower. Dry hair is stronger than wet hair, so de-tangling you hair before you bathe or shower will help preserve more strands.
• Good quality shampoo and conditioner. Using the right products for your hair is so important. We recommend Nioxin treatments for thinning hair. At west with style Hair Salon, we stock the full range and our expert stylists can recommend the perfect products for you.
• Condition your hair the right amount. You shouldn’t be dousing your hair in conditioner. Only apply conditioner to the mid-lengths and ends of your hair, and be sure to rinse the product out thoroughly.
• Target tough tangles with a quality leave-in conditioner. You don’t need to weigh down your entire head of hair with leave-in conditioner if you only have a few tangles here and there. Target your tangles with a good quality leave-in conditioner applied directly onto the problem area.
• NEVER brush wet hair! If you have to detangle wet hair, make sure to use a wide-tooth comb rather than a brush as this will cause less breakage.
• Sleep with your hair in a loose braid or ponytail. This can help reduce hair breakage while you roll around in your sleep.
• Invest in a satin pillowcase. Cotton pillowcases can rough up your hair as you toss and turn, while satin reduces friction which means there will be less breakage, fewer tangles and better hair in the morning. Say goodbye to bed head!

The Best Hairstyles For Thinning Hair

The best way to disguise thinning hair is with the right hairstyle for your hair type and that suits you and your face shape. At west with style Hairdressers & Barbers in Westhill, our skilled stylists can recommend the perfect hairstyle for you.

Haircuts to make your hair look thicker include:

• Blunt cuts involve cutting a solid line at the bottom of your hair which can give the appearance of fuller, and even longer, hair.
• Box bobs are a fashionable hairstyle which has been nicknames the facelift for your hair. The box bob involves the hair being blunt cut at chin length to maximise volume, and it can be easily styled for a full, bouncy look.
• Graduated haircuts focus the weight of the hair at the back of the head, with layers which can be cut into it to maximise the volume of the hairstyle.
• The wolf cut is an on-trend hairstyle which creates soft volume and shaggy texture for a cool, edgy look. This haircut is a cross between a lob (a.k.a long bob) and a modern mullet cut.

When choosing your hairstyle, make sure to speak to your stylist about the level of styling involved in your new hair cut.  This will ensure you can recreate the salon look from the comfort of your own home.

Styling Tricks For Thin Hair

The best hair transformations come from knowing which products to use. Make the most out of your thin hair by using the right products and making sure to make use of our styling tips:

• Dry shampoo is your friend. Thin hair is prone to getting oily, as there isn’t enough hair to soak up the amount of oil your scalp produces. However, washing and blow drying your hair constantly is not the answer – as this will cause breakage. Keep your hair looking clean and smelling fresh with dry shampoo. The dry shampoo powder will give your roots lots of body as well!
• Boost your roots. A quick and easy way to make the most out of your fine hair is by blow drying your hair upside down. Comb your hair thoroughly first to avoid tangling. To give your roots even more body, spray in some product and dry your roots using a round brush and blow dryer. Book an appointment at our Westhill hairdressing salon and we can show you how to boost your hair with a volumizing blow dry.
• Think about texture. Adding texture to your hair can help make it look thicker and fuller, so consider using a lightweight texturizing serum before you blow dry your hair. We highly recommend Nioxin Density Defend Light Weight Strengthening Foam.
