Thin Hair Hack #1: Using straighteners for hair roots

If you want to fake the look of voluminous hair, you can’t have a layflat hair style or your hair only shows less than usual. You can try to use a straightener and clamp the roots for a fuller appearance at your crown. First, divide the hair into two layers - top and bottom and tie up the bottom part to ensure all strands will be styled. Wait for 3 - 5seconds when you place the flat iron on the roots. Then loosen it gently for adding volume into your hair. Repeat this process until both layers are done. Ta-da! You will end up with roots that have density.

Thin Hair Hack #2: Section your hair

Hair stylist suggest that if you have thin mane look, middle parts will only make you hair lay limp which looks thin on top. You can try a deep side part with Zig-zag parting method, meaning flipping strand of hair to left then another to right and so on. This hack will camouflage the sparse hairline and get more lift from your crown.

Thin Hair Hack #3: Opposite blow-dry

Volumized hair style seems to look more dense and so you can add body to fine, flat hair. Hair stylist recommends that you could blow dry hair with opposite direction of the root after hair wash. You will see the huge difference after you comb it which leaves you with an instant fullness.

If you wish for a more dense look, you can first blow the end of hair before the roots. Since the end of wet hair shaft is much heavier and will easily cause a flat top, blowing dry hair end can help lower its weight. At last, blow dry the roots with opposite direction to achieve a significantly fuller look.

Despite the thinning hairline, it will help create the illusion of thicker locks.
