PRESCRIPTION

“You should use shampoo and

conditioner for fi ne hair so as

not to weigh it down,” says Aleks

Abadia, Esstudio Galleria salon

director and founder. “When it

comes to styling and holding, try

to use volumising products and

light sprays. One of the best for

fi ne hair is powder dust. Simply

apply it on the roots to add volume

and a three-day grit.” Be warned,

though, there are a few textures

you need to steer clear of. “Heavy

conditioners are no good for your

hair; moisturising shampoos and

conditioners will always have a

heavier result on fi ne hair. Cream

or oil-based products must be

applied light-handedly and rinsed

out well, as leaving any residue

behind will cause limp hair.”

CUT CORRECTION

“When your hair is fi ne you should

try to make the best of what you

have,” says Abadia. “Nice sharp

lines create a thicker base line. To

create texture and movement, cut

some layers to add volume. Just be

careful not to add too many layers,

though, as this will make the ends

appear fi ne.” Also keep in mind that

if you go for a fringe, you’re leaving

less strands to account for the bulk

of your hair.

STYLE RIGHT

“Add some volumising products,

then fl ip your hair upside down

and blow dry,” says Abadia. This

lets gravity do the work and gives

you long-lasting volume, so hair

appears thicker. Now with a brush,

smooth the ends. “You can also

add some texture with a hot wand

to create a nice, loose style.”

People with fi ner hair are much

more susceptible to burnt strands.

“When using heat tools, your hair

must be 100 per cent dry or you

will be doing yourself some serious

damage,” says Abadia.

NEVER, EVER...

Overload your hair with products;

it’s the fastest way to Limp Town.

Oh and “tying your hair up with

rubber bands is very bad, too!”

adds Abadia. >

MY

HAIR

IS...

FINE!
