Fine hair routine: Take care of your hair natural hair – care products and tips
In nature, there are several hair textures: normal hair, fine hair, or thick hair. Of the three, fine hair is often much more sensitive to its environment than the rest. Due to their fragility, they require specific care for a fine hair routine.
Why a routine for fine hair?
A fine hair is a hair with a smaller diameter than a normal hair. To confirm this, take a standard sewing thread, compare it to one of your hair: if your hair is thinner than the sewing thread, then you have fine hair. With such a small diameter, fine hair is often more fragile than other hair. It tends to be more brittle, lack volume, grease quickly and split just as easily. Inappropriate care and shampoos, too harsh treatments, too much bleaching or use of heat without protection can weaken them even more. Therefore, it needs a very specific fine hair routine.
Being determined by genetics, the diameter of a hair cannot be changed. It is nevertheless possible to give volume to a naturally fine hair. With the right shampoo and a suitable fine hair routine, we can help strengthen them and even give them volume!
A non-weighting shampoo
Because this thinness of hair tends to grease quickly, it is better to adopt a shampoo that prevents this specifically. Choose a natural, silicone-free, oil-free shampoo to avoid weighing down fine hair, which needs lightness to get volume. Indeed, silicones are elements that are present in most conventional hair care, which coat the hair to make it shiny. But its non-biodegradable nature also helps clogging the pores of the scalp and prevent healthy hair from growing. It will also make the hair grease much too quickly, an anguish for fine hair! Also avoid dry shampoos, which promise volume and lightness but suffocate the scalp. A shampoo with natural active ingredients will be much gentler for fine hair than a conventional shampoo full of sulfates and aggressive for the scalp.
For your natural fine hair routine, the Mineral Volumizing Shampoo fulfills all the criteria of a good shampoo for fine hair. In the form of shampoo powder (not a dry shampoo!), it does not contain any fatty substances and therefore does not weigh down the hair. It is used on wet hair and lathers like a liquid shampoo, bringing volume and shine to fine hair. 100% natural and certified organic, its Earth & Sea alliance based on bentonite and oyster shell powder provides an ultra-remineralizing effect for the hair and scalp. Its exclusive formula provides a balancing effect on the scalp, forming a protective shield against pollution, leaving the hair clean longer by regulating sebum.

Light and volumizing care
Because fine hair needs lightness, your fine hair routine should also favor hydrating, non-weighting, and non-greasy care, in order to preserve volume and prevent it from flattening.

A routine that takes time
Take your time! A fine hair routine does not builds up overnight. Your hair will need time to adapt to new products, especially if you come from the chemical world.
Space out the shampoos
Gradually space out your shampoos. By shampooing too regularly, whether natural or not, the natural protective barrier of the scalp will be damaged, the scalp will eventually dry out, and the natural balance will be broken. You don't have to apply your fine hair routine every day. Carefully selected treatments that meet the specific needs of your scalp will do their job very well and will not need to be applied too frequently.
Adopt clarification
Treat yourself to some scalp clarification sessions, to remove all the impurities that accumulate at the roots of your fine hair and contribute to making it greasy. The purpose of clarification is to get your fine hair routine off to a good start each time, and allow optimal penetration of all the natural active ingredients that you offer your hair. Opt for a clarification every month or less, depending on the felt need. D-TOX Scrub, rich in Guérande salt and Ecocert certified, is ideal for restoring fine but shiny hair.
Dietary supplements, your ally to strenghtening hair
Add a cure of dietary supplements to your hair routine to strengthen your fine hair. The Hair Force capsules, 100% natural based on organic French seaweed and hemp oil, will provide the necessary nutrients to strengthen your hair, boost growth and bring the volume that your fine hair lacks!
Gestures to adopt
In addition to products suitable for fine hair, a fine hair routine also requires precise gestures to avoid further damaging it. Avoid over brushing your fine hair, especially when it is wet, as this can weaken it. Use a wide-toothed comb to gently untangle them.
Fine hair requires a specific hair care routine to be strengthened, hydrated and texturized while preserving its natural volume. By using natural products, without silicone or fatty substances, adapted to this hair texture, you will be able to offer your hair better resistance to external aggressions while giving them a denser and voluminous appearance. Also, remember to limit the use of any type of styling tools like the hair dryer to avoid further damage to your fine hair. Following this hair routine for fine hair will allow you to get stronger, healthier and more luminous hair that will highlight your natural beauty.
