Q&A About Your Hair
How do you get more volume in fine hair?
According to experts, a good basis for making fine hair look voluminous is the right haircut. However, even this will not help in the long term if the hair is not supported by proper care. Therefore, I recommend a hair care that gives volume without weighing down the hair. In addition, you can achieve twice as much fullness with the right drying technology. To do this, first blow-dry the hair all over. Only when the hair is almost dry, use a round brush to help direct the hair dryer onto the hair, pull it up with the brush and blow it upwards into the roots. Important: never blow dry against the hair tips, as this brightens the hair structure and the hair takes the shine. Also, make sure that the hair is really completely dry – otherwise the styling will fall back after blow-drying
How do volume shampoos make hair fuller?
Thin or fine hair has less substance compared to normal or thick hair. The hair thickness of fine hair is usually less than 0.05 mm. Normal hair has a thickness of 0.07-0.1 mm. Therefore, volume shampoos often contain structuring substances. These are, for example, proteins (wheat proteins and many other vegetable proteins, keratin, ceramides), which are applied to the hair and strengthen the structure, making it more full-bodied. Also included may be so-called conditioning polymers (e.g., polyquaternium or PVP to be recognized in the ingredients). These are laid around the hair shaft like a film, thus avoiding static and achieving more grip on the hair. It’s vital that volume products are silicone-free, because they complicate the hair and cause the opposite effect. Fine and powerless hair needs to be cared for very carefully or acts quickly overcautious, if wrong or excessively dosed ingredients complain the hair.
What is Root Blur – the go-to hair technique?
Root blurring – the color trend this year is an extension of the trendy balayage hair dyeing technique. The transition from the darker roots to the highlights in the lengths is softer and softer. It creates an almost invisible connection between the roots and the lengths. This makes the root growth even more discreet and unobtrusive. The color options here are varied, for example, blond, rose gold, peach or a delicate pink. The root blurring achieves a perfect and natural-looking look especially if you want to keep your natural hair color and have less maintenance.
Does hard water affect your hair?
The water hardness is defined by the ion concentration of calcium and magnesium. Hard water is high in dissolved minerals, both calcium and magnesium. When washing your hair, you need to use more shampoo to wash effectively as the washing performance is partially neutralized by the ions. The hair could feel rough and brittle after having been washed with hard water. Furthermore, hard water affects hair dye and coloration doesn’t last as long. Soft water, which contains less of these ions, makes the hair otherwise supple. When shampooing, the shampoo foams well and less product is needed. Nevertheless, the hair must be rinsed out for a long time and there is often product residue in the hair. This creates the feeling that the hair gets greasier faster.
Can hairspray also help with Split Ends?
Unfortunately, once split, hair spray can no longer be completely cemented and spread like a run in the hair. A visit to a hairdresser is the best solution so that the hair is visibly healthy and strong again. To prevent split ends, the tips should therefore be cut every 6 to 8 weeks. If the next cutting time is over, but the tips are already under attack, a hair tip serum can help: split ends can be reassembled temporarily and the likelihood of them spreading can be temporarily prevented. However, even with split ends: Precaution is better than cure! Therefore, in addition to regular tips cutting a continuous care is essential for hair health. This should consist of coordinated shampoo and conditioner with each hair wash and once a week of a cure. If hair is easily prone to damage such as split ends, due to intensive styling routine (be it heat styling or excessive dyeing). A top-grade serum can perfectly complement the care routine and provide additional protection for the sensitive hair ends: After washing in towel-dried hair, it lays around the hair ends like a protective shield and helps to prevent split ends and damage.
