Thin hair? No problem. Make your hair look thicker with these brilliant tips and products .
Thin, fine hair has fewer fiber proteins and is therefore more susceptible to damage. It therefore tends to break more quickly (e.g. due to rough brushing, heat, etc.). But even without external influences, thin hair often looks "broken" without there being any damage. Hairdressers often comment that the hair is "broken or damaged." But that is only because each individual hair looks more unstable from the outside because, as already mentioned, it lacks fiber proteins that give the hair stability.
Even though thin hair often requires a little more care, it doesn't have to be a disadvantage.
On the contrary, thin hair is often referred to as " fairy hair ", which is associated with beauty, grace and gentleness. Another advantage is that a variety of hairstyles can be worn, because the hair is easy to style, unlike thick hair.
We have 5 brilliant tips for you on how to make your thin hair appear thicker and give it the ideal care and volume.
1. Style your hair textured
For ultimate volume, you should definitely try wearing your hair with texture instead of straightened. This is because the hair fibers are easier to manipulate due to the lack of fiber proteins. And it is precisely this manipulability that we can take advantage of when styling. This is why it is much easier to knead waves or curls into the hair than with thick hair while the hair is still wet .
Armed with a few styling products and a diffuser, you can give your hair hold, volume and the appearance of more thickness and stability for days. The natural polymers contained in high-quality curling products give your fine hair all the benefits it needs for more thickness and volume. Paired with the right styling method, fine hair can be transformed from the ground up with the Curly Hair Method! You can find out how the Curly Hair Method works for texture without heat in this step-by-step guide.

2. Use protein-rich products
Use protein-containing products regularly or add protein drops to your products such as your shampoo and conditioner. Proteins temporarily fill the keratin gaps in your hair, making it appear thicker and more stable.
3. Use a light leave-in conditioner
As a base, you should work in a light leave-in conditioner after showering , which creates a protective film around your hair strands. This makes your hair appear thicker and more manageable at the same time. Our recommendation: Rice Pudding or Lemon Butter Cream from Ecoslay. These leave-ins are not only light, they also create a thickening layer around your hair, which immediately makes your hair appear thicker.
4. Use the 1+2 gel method
After the leave-in, you should work 2 gels into your hair one after the other, e.g. using the scrunching method (knitting your hair up). This method gives your hair texture, it holds its shape better, longer and also looks thicker.
5. Use the "Re-Wet" technique
With fine hair, freshly styled hair often does not look the way you want it to. The freshly styled waves/curls often fall out quickly and the ends of the hair in particular do not wave/curl properly.
The trick: Take a spray bottle and repeatedly wet your hair after it is dry. Knead out the excess water with a T-shirt towel to define the strands. Then diffuse your hair. Voilà!
