Whatever you do, do not apply conditioner to your scalp if you struggle with fine, thin hair! While there’s no need to be afraid of conditioner, piling it up on the roots will cause your hair to appear greasy and limp within only a few hours. Since conditioner provides your hair with much-needed nourishment by opening up the cuticle, our team at the Z Hair Academy cosmetology school in Overland Park recommends applying conditioner to your hair any time it gets wet, but only from mid-length to the ends.

All girls who struggle with oily hair understand the benefits of dry shampoo between wash days! But did you know that it’s just as beneficial to use dry shampoo as a styling product on day one hair? Because fine hair oftentimes struggles to hold shape or volume due to slippage, dry shampoo can add a bit of texture to the strands to create grip. Once you finish styling your hair with hot tools, blast it with a bit of dry shampoo (may we suggest the Joico Weekend Hair Dry Shampoo?), avoiding the roots, to achieve a fuller, more textured look that adheres to style!

If your hair doesn’t cooperate when you try to style it, we have some news for you! Try bleaching your hair to a lighter color and re-coloring it back to the initial shade. We know this sounds crazy, but bleaching your hair or getting subtle highlights throughout can create a new amazing texture that’s easier to style. This trick will also create an illusion of thicker, fuller-looking strands! Our team recommends scheduling an initial consultation with your stylist to explore your options and choose what’s right for your hair.
