Take Care of
Your Fine Hair
The most important fact about fine hair structure is that it has up to 50% less internal protein than thick hair. As a result, there are a few characteristics about fine hair that should be understood in order to know how to care for it.
Fine hair tends to be more flexible than thick hair, which can cause it to fall flat. It is usually weaker and has a lower abrasion than thick hair, which makes it vulnerable to damage (such as breakage, split ends and lifted cuticles). Fine hair is also more resistant to twisting than thick hair, so it struggles to hold curls. Also, it is often straighter than thick hair and can have a harder time holding specific hairstyles due to its lack of volume combined with its lack of rigidity and firmness.

Though fine hair can be a styling challenge, there are also some advantages to it. It tends to be more versatile, it reflects light better and it is easier to control. Plus, there are many ways to help enhance its body and fullness, starting with the proper hair-care regimen.

The new Pantene® Fine Hair Solutions line of customized hair-care products is tailored to fit your fine hair’s needs in the following ways:

  • Pantene Fine Hair Solutions is specially customized for fine hair with a balance of cleaning and conditioning as the first step to lay foundations in the volume building.
  • Although it might seem counterintuitive, conditioning is actually important for fine hair in order to revive limp strands and protect them from damage. Pantene fine hair conditioners were created to be ultra-lightweight so as to not weigh down hair, yet still protect it and condition it.
  • Because fine hair struggles to retain any given style, Pantene fine hair mousse and styling products contain ingredients that help with texture, provide hold and maintain fullness to reinforce hair and create enduring style.
What kinds of haircuts look best on people with fine hair? That depends on the shape of your face.
  • Round faces look better with a longer, layered cut to help slenderize the face.
  • Elongated faces look great with haircuts that have fullness at the bottom, which creates the illusion of width.
  • Diamond-shaped faces should keep the length below the widest part of the face.
