Different hair types require different hair care techniques.
The right hair washing routine depends largely on your hair type. To understand the best way to clean your hair, you must be familiar with your hair type and its specific needs. That's why here we will share the definition of thin hair, how to wash your hair properly, and the best shampoos for thin hair to make your hair look its best.
What is thinning hair?
Before learning how to wash thinning hair properly, it's important to evaluate whether or not you actually have thinning hair. People often use the terms thin hair and smooth hair interchangeably, but they are not exactly the same. The difference is that while thin hair means fewer strands, smooth hair means density of each strand. If you have fine hair, you may have a lot of hair but each strand is thin. If you have thin hair, you probably won't have much volume and may notice some thinning at the top of your head.
How to wash hair for thin hair
Washing your hair seems completely intuitive, but it could actually be because you're using the wrong shampoo or conditioner for your hair type. Especially when you have thinning hair, there are specific techniques to follow and products to use to ensure you are gentle with your hair and we will share them below.
STEP #1: CHOOSE THE RIGHT SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER
Not all shampoos and conditioners are suitable for all hair types. For example, the best shampoo for thin hair probably isn't the best shampoo for super curly hair. When you have thin hair, you will want to choose formulas that help your hair become stronger and thicker. Try Nubeà Sustenia Maintaining Shampoo - Volumizing and Conditioning Oil Nubeà Sustenia Maintaining Conditioning Shampoo - Volumizing with a formula that enhances hair volume, making it look thicker.
STEP #2: WASH YOUR HAIR AS REGULARLY AS NORMAL
Begin your cleansing routine by wetting your hair completely with water before shampooing. Once your hair is wet, gently massage the shampoo into your scalp, then rinse and move on to the next step. Thin hair often has more oil and looks clearer, so if you feel like your hair is oilier, you can wash it with shampoo a second time.
STEP #3: CONDITION/CONDITION HAIR - NOT TOO MUCH
Take a conditioner/conditioner that matches your shampoo and apply it evenly to your hair and ends. Be careful not to apply too much because it can weigh down your hair and make it look soft. Most conditioners should be left on for one to three minutes, after which you can rinse. Remember not to leave any conditioner residue behind.
STEP #4: GENTLY DRY YOUR HAIR
Because hair breaks more easily when wet, be gentle when drying it. Instead of using a towel to absorb water, use a soft cotton t-shirt or microfiber hair towel, which will be softer on your thin hair.
STEP #5: STYLE YOUR HAIR WITH LESS HEAVY HAIR PRODUCTS
Hair lotions, waxes, and any other products with thicker ingredients may be too heavy for your thin hair. You can consider using Nubeà Sustenia Serum - Volumizing 150ml . Serum will help volumize hair and make it thicker.
