Looking to pump up some volume into men’s hair? When the hair volume starts to decline and a receding hairline appears, the hair looks devoid of life and the self-confidence goes down. Take a look at these tips and tricks from the experts at Notino, you can give to your clients to make their hair appear fuller and thicker, boosting their confidence in seconds.


What is Fine Hair?


The term ‘fine hair’ describes the diameter of hair strands and texture. Individual hair strands have less protein, making the diameter naturally smaller and lighter than in the case of medium or coarse hair. Lifeless and saggy hair may be caused by many factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, diet, lifestyle, age, or environmental factors, but even using the wrong haircare products can play a big role. Fine hair tends to become oily very quickly, lacks volume, and doesn’t hold styles.


5 Men’s Haircare Products for Instant Volume


Increasing the volume game starts with a good haircare routine and the right haircare products. No 2-in-1 shampoos will do the trick, only investing in top-quality products will make the hair work the way your clients want. Here are some tips for the best men’s hair products to help them achieve that effortless styling that unleashes hair volume within a few minutes…


1.    Volumising Shampoo: Every haircare regime needs a good shampoo that removes unwanted build-up of sebum and dirt, to free the hair. Recommend your clients to switch their standard shampoo for a thickening shampoo specially formulated to give the locks extra lift and body. A shampoo with biotin, tea tree oil, or caffeine will contribute to thicker and fuller hair with every wash.

2.    Conditioner: Yes, men should condition their hair regularly to keep it healthy and manageable. However, clients should avoid using heavy conditioners and try lightweight formulas instead. Using the same line as the volumising shampoo may help them achieve the best results as these lines include similar ingredients. Just remind them to apply conditioner only to the ends, as applying conditioner at the roots causes additional greasiness and drags the hair down.

3.    Sea Salt Spray: This is THE secret product for incredibly volumised locks. Sea salt spray helps bring back the volume and texture providing any hairstyle with that beach look – casually cool, absolutely carefree, stylish, and full of volume. The best way to use sea salt spray is to spray it onto towel-dried hair, rub the product evenly across the strands, and style the hair with fingers.

4.    Texture Powder: If the hair tends to lay flat between washes or looks oily minutes after washing it, texture powder for men is a great product to boost the hair bounce and make it last.

5.    Hair Clay and Hair Putty: To achieve a firm yet flexible hairstyle that stays in place all day, hair clay and putty should be a part of every hairstyling routine. Hair putty usually offers a medium or strong hold, hair clay offers an even more lasting and stronger hold. It depends on the haircut and preferences of your client.

 

Top Tips on How To Achieve Voluminous Hair


Once your clients use the right products, it’s time to try some hacks to help boost hair volume. You can recommend…

 

Use a hair dryer and round brush to lift at the roots while drying the hair.

Blow-dry the hair in the opposite direction to their normal style or lean over to blow-dry hair upside down in order to lift the hair from the roots.

For longer hair, it’s a good idea to experiment with a curling iron to make the hair a little wavy to appear thicker.


Try some quality hair vitamins such as biotin tablets or gummies to stimulate keratin production and strengthen hair follicles.

Experiment with hairstyles. The illusion of thicker hair starts with the right haircut which should include layers for more movement and depth, and frees the scalp of some of the weight.


Use only lightweight haircare products, especially during the summer to allow airflow to the scalp.


Avoid using too much product when styling the hair which may cause limp hair.
