A common mistake that hair consumers make is not using their hot styling tools in the best way for their hair type. For fine tresses it is important not to "overblow" the style which can cause fine strands to flatten.

Many hairdressers suggest blow drying fine hair on the slowest hairdryer setting and only to remove excess moisture. Many stylists recommend that fine hair be allowed to "air dry" which naturally builds in a fuller look to fine strands.

If you prefer to blow dry your hair, you have several options but should experiment with drying on the slowest and coolest setting. Cold air will also help the cuticle to swell and it will add shine.

To get maximum fullness use a small to medium round brush and separate hair into 1-2" sections. Blow dry by directing the air flow of the dryer from the ends up to the roots around the individual sections. This naturally "ruffles" the sections building in fullness.

To build in extra fatness at the roots, experiment bending over at the waist and drying hair "upside down" focusing the direction of air flow up from the ends of the hair to the roots.

Hairdressers have different opinions about the value of blow drying hair upside down. Some highly recommend it while others debunk its value.

Wet sets where hair is washed and then set of pin curls, rag rollers or similar will help get a much fuller look for many fine haired people. Wet sets can be allowed to air dry or can be dried under a hood dryer.

Regardless of what technique you use to blow dry, make sure that you focus a lot of attention on building in fullness at the roots where is it most needed.

Towel blot hair to remove moisture and then apply products designed to give fine hair fullness. Many people with fine hair find that they achieve the best results when they use a different product for their roots then they use for the rest of their strands. Many people with fine tresses get great results when using a root booster along with a very light styling mousse designed to add lots of volume to hair.

Celebrity hairdresser Robert Hallowell specializes in creating beautiful texture, lift and shape for his many fine tresses celebrities such as Sharon. He also creates big beautiful hair looks for Lucy Liu, Geena Davis and Ever Carradine.

Robert specifically created his own prawduct hair care which features a volume enhancing root spray known as super volumizing spray. Britney Spears has been rumored to love PhytoVolume Actif spray for adding lots of fatness to her roots.

Apply the root lift product of your choice and then finish by using fingertips to distribute a volumizing mousse throughout the rest of your strands. If your hair tends to frizz, you may wish to add a tiny bit of defrisant cream. The key is to be sparing with any creams but make sure that frizz is contained.

If fine hair tend to tangle easily, apply a very light detangling spray to only the area that tangles. Avoid adding conditioning detangling sprays or heat protecting leave-ins unless necessary. These will flatten fine strands.

Hair experts argue about this point but many find that blasting fine hair with a cool or cold water final rinse will close the cuticle and help it to swell slightly. It also helps to add natural shine.

Skip The Rinse-Out Conditioner

Unless hair is damaged or tangles easily, a rinse-out conditioner is not recommended for helping to plump up fine strands. Conditioners will smooth the hair's cuticle which is great for hair that is curly, wavy or damaged, but it will tend to flatten hair that is naturally straight or slick and fine.

Although some hairdressers also recommend chemical perm treatments, Robert is against them "due to the potential damage that they can cause to fine or thin strands".

He does recommend that "his fine haired clients go with highlights, lowlights or a beautiful demi or permanent color to help naturally fatten up" their tresses.

1. Start With A Volume Enhancing Haircut

If your hair is fine to super fine, it is important that you work closely with your hairdresser to create a short cut that maximizes your hair fullness levels.

Robert Hallowell specifically advises against the use of the razor for cutting short styles on fine or thin hair textures. This is because he points out that "the razor can cause lots of end splitting". Also, "if the tresses are fine to begin with", the razor will cause the strands to be "too flyaway"

Robert works with a special scissors/shear combination that allows him to create beautiful chunky layers like he has done for many of his celebrity clients without risking razor damage.
