Every man has different Hair, and one has it thicker than the other. Some men naturally have thin or fine Hair, but thin Hair can also develop later in life. This means that you cannot treat your Hair the same way as someone with thick Hair. Some care products will only make your thin Hair appear thinner. This also applies to styling products.
On the other hand, thin hair also has enough advantages. For example, it is much easier to keep in shape. Do you have thin or fine Hair? Then read below to find out what the best products are for your Hair.
Shampoo for thin Hair
With thin Hair, there is simply less to wash. That is a fact. The main principle when washing thin Hair is a gentle approach. Thin Hair does not need much to get clean. So opt for Shampoo without aggressive ingredients. Once you damage your hair follicles, your Hair breaks very quickly. Your Hair will also look thinner because you wash away all the oils that your Hair needs. Go for a Shampoo that hydrates and thickens. Your Hair will look much fuller.
Conditioner for thin Hair
Also for Conditioner, you want to avoid aggressive sulfates. Go for a volumizing or thickening Conditioner so that the product complements the Shampoo you use. Your Hair will appear thicker and it sufficiently nourishes your Hair. Try not to use leave-in Conditioner because it makes your Hair very flat.
Hair styling products for thin Hair
After caring for the Hair, we come to the products that have the most direct impact on how your Hair looks. Some styling products do not work well with thin or thick Hair. We tell you what you can best choose and why some products do not work.
Pre-Styling
In our opinion, not enough emphasis is placed on this by most men. By pre-Styling, we mean everything you do before you finally apply your hair styling product. Pre-styling your Hair almost always involves applying a pre styler and then styling your Hair with the Hair Dryer. Especially for men with thin Hair, this can make a big difference.
A pre-styler is often a Grooming Spray, Sea Salt Spray or another product that adds volume, texture, and a light Hold to the Hair. The combination of these products and blow-drying creates a solid base where your Hair always looks good. It also protects your Hair from the heat of the Hair Dryer. So always use a pre-styler.
Hair Styling Product
There are a few products that you actually don't want to use when you don't want your Hair to look thin. These are mainly Hair Gels and Pomades. A Hair Gel and also a Pomade bring your hair too much together because they stick your hair together. As a result, you see more skin appear and it looks like you have little or thin Hair. If you like that, you should definitely do it of course. But when you want to make your Hair look thicker, you can best go for a product with clay in it. This can be a Hair Clay or Hair Paste. Also, try to avoid products with a lot of oil in them.
Hair Clay and Hair Paste contain ingredients that swell your Hair and give it volume. Your Hair looks a lot thicker. It also keeps your Hair lighter than a Hair Gel and Pomade, so it sags less quickly and looks less flat.
The main ingredients in a Hair Clay or Hair Paste are kaolin and bentonite (often labeled as bentonite on the jar). These are types of clay used in many types of Hair Clay and Hair Paste. Especially bentonite has a very swelling effect on Hair. So always check if the product you might want to buy has these components. When you do pre-Styling and then use a good Hair Clay or Hair Paste, everyone will think you have a full thick head of Hair.
Post-Styler
A post styler is usually Finishing Spray. Sometimes your Hair just really needs to stay put when you have, for example, a party. Then you can use Finishing Spray. But be careful with this. Do not spray too close to the Hair and especially do not use too much. Finishing Spray has the same sticking effect as a Hair Gel.
After applying a Finishing Spray, do not run your Hands through the Hair. Your Hair will immediately become flatter and start sticking together.
