Caring for fine hair can be a challenge, mostly when it comes to presentation. This is why there are so many volumizing hair care products on the market, promising to give you mid-80’s, Aquanet-style thickness. The struggle lies in combating the flatness, which requires the touch of lightweight, volumizing products. Facing issues like a lack of volume, persistent oiliness, and susceptibility to damage can be disheartening, but understanding these nuances, as well as the tremendous power of a filtered showerhead, are key to preserving the beauty of fine hair.
Combating hair loss that’s already in progress can be a huge challenge and can take a major emotional toll, and it can be even worse for people with fine hair. Navigating hair loss with fine strands adds an emotional layer to the challenge. Fine hair, being inherently delicate, can make the loss more noticeable and impactful. It also makes your delicate locks more susceptible to damage when not properly cared for, which can accelerate the issues you’re already railing against. When your hair is already stripped of moisture and oil, it is inherently left open to the elements and far more likely to become weak and damaged, resulting in accelerated hair loss.
At this point, the secret that should’ve never been kept in the first place is out- your shower water is most likely wreaking absolute havoc on your hair, scalp, and skin. And yes, we mean all of your skin, from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet. There are a few reasons why this is happening, and all of them are unseen: hard water, which is water full of minerals and dissolved solids, is leaving behind and building up residue on your skin, in your hair, in your follicles, and in your pores. Chemicals, most notably chlorine, which is used to sanitize municipal water supplies for human consumption, is stripping your skin and scalp of their natural moisture, leaving behind dry, irritated, and potentially cracked skin. This problem gets worse when combined with high-temperature showers. There are plenty of other contaminants in your municipal water supply, and all of them are doing unseen, gradual, and compounding damage to your body’s natural protective processes, and reducing your natural beauty.
Enter, stage left: The Jolie Filtered Showerhead. The Jolie Filtered Showerhead is the answer to all your hair hate, your skin sadness, your scalp… bummed-outedness. This revolutionary shower filter not only softens your water, it also removes chlorine and harmful chemicals with an effectiveness that your standard carbon filters simply cannot achieve- and it does it all without sacrificing your water pressure.
This is great news for those of us with fine hair- it means that your hair is going to quickly regain the ability to defend and moisturize itself, which will ultimately lead to stronger hair that doesn’t want to jump ship. Most of us believe by this point that when something seems too good to be true, it probably is- fortunately, the Jolie is backed by science. The independent, PhD, women-lead Lemma Labs ran an extensive study on the effectiveness of the showerhead, and the results are pretty stellar. Of 27 participants over 12 weeks, 81% experienced a significant reduction in excess hair shedding. 59% of all participants saw the decrease at a reduction rate of more than ⅓, and 30% saw their excess hair shedding reduced by more than half. This is all taking into account their normal hair care routines- which means that with the simple switch of a showerhead, their battle against excess hair loss won a major victory.
Choosing the right product is already challenging enough, but when you toss fine hair in the mix, it can be all the more challenging. Lightweight, volumizing products are the obvious answer- but this specifically means that you should avoid heavy products that are thick with oils. This can have a counteractive effect in that it can weigh down and flatter out the hair you’ve been fighting to volumize. The goal is to embrace your hair’s natural beauty while simultaneously giving it the little bump it needs to stand out. Steer clear of heavy silicones and sulfates—they're like the enemies of your hair's natural bounce. These chemicals can also weigh down and flatten out your hair, resulting in the dreaded dull look. Opt for holistic remedies whenever possible as well- these products have fewer ingredients, and there really can be too many cooks in the kitchen. The bottom line is, if you’ve never heard of it and can’t pronounce it, do some reading. If you’re still at a loss, move on to the next.
Sometimes, the task at hand is best left to the professionals. You’ve done all you can, and the results aren’t where you want them- but you should be kind to yourself, as there is no way of knowing what your fine hair would look like without the effort you’ve already put in. You’re doing a great job, but sometimes, we all need a little help. A salon can be just the place for you to revitalize your hair volume, and it can also be a relaxing experience. Making the most out of your fine hair can mean a consultation first, followed by a volumizing wash and condition to maximize the hard-to-find volume. From there, now that your hair is clean, moisturized, and smelling fantastic, your hair artist is likely to apply a thickening treatment or product that might normally be beyond the general public’s reach. This can mean mousse, sprays, serums, or a combination of all. The experts will know how to get you that look you’ve been after, and can give you invaluable insight as to how you can maintain or re-create it at home. After the treatments are applied, blow-drying and styling are the crucial next steps to give your hair that little extra bounce. Pay attention to the blow-drying methods your stylist uses, and do your best to style your hair the same way after your appointment. A specialized cut can also be a big help in creating a volumized look.
