There are thousands of hair products marketed today for different hair types and styles, including normal, dry or damaged hair. Furthermore, various products are formulated to give your hair volume, prevent frizz and straighten wavy locks. Hair that is semi-fine, thin and straight can benefit from a voluminous or thickening agent in cream or gel form. Apply a small amount of the product, approximately dime-sized, to the ends and mid-shaft of damp hair prior to blow drying. Avoid using a large amount initially as this could end up making fine hair look greasy and stiff.

Partially Dry Initially

Partially dry hair first with low to medium heat. This aids in preventing the possibility of overheating hair, which can lead to a flat effect on thin hair, causing it to look dull and thin. Roughly dry hair with a hair blower by working backwards from the scalp and directing hair straight up backwards to decrease dampness.

Sectioning

Divide fine hair into three different sections while blow drying. Separating hair into a top, middle and bottom section can help to direct heat for efficient styling. The top layer should be one to two inches wide with the middle section starting just below the temples or around the ears.

Anchor The Brush

Anchor your hair brush from the root of your hair, apply tension and direct the hair blower's airflow downwards along the shaft. The brush and dryer should move at the same time to avoid tangles and overheating one section, which could lead to over-drying or burning the hair. Give your hair one last blast of hot air followed by cold air to lock in shine. Additionally, a finishing product such as a light spray may help hold your hair's shape. Avoid heavy waxes and gels that will lead to flattened, greasy locks.
