Why Thinning Shears Do Not Cut Tool Much Hair

If you have ever had your hair thinned than you understand just how effective this technique is on getting some of the excess hair out so that your hairstyles will come out better with more weightless body. If you do not look closely at thinning shears they appear to look just like regular scissors and it can be an anomaly on how they can effectively thin out hair without flat out cutting it off like scissors. Kamisori thinning shears as well as other brands have lots of tiny teeth in the blades as opposed to solid ones like regular shears. It is these teeth, which allow them to only remove some of the hair, but just like with other scissors it is possible to get carried away and remove too much.

Getting The Hair Iron That Is Best For Your Hair

Every woman knows that if you were not lucky enough to be born with that straight luxurious hair that is such a hot look that you can get it anyway by using a hair straightening iron. Of course it is not as simple as grabbing a hair iron and using it on your hair to remove the curl. To get an effective job that will not damage your hair you need to get a quality professional straightener that is the right one for your hair type.

The first thing you need to look at when purchasing the best hair straighteners for you’re your hair is the materials the iron is made from. Irons made with ceramic, tourmaline, and titanium will not damage your hair as those cheap drugstore irons will do as these materials are scientifically proven to take better care of your hair while you straighten.

You will also need to look at the size of the plates you will be using to flatten your hair. Hair irons with smaller plates are best for short or thin hair while the models with larger plates are best for thick and extremely curly hair

Why To Thin That Really Thick Hair

Many women hear there stylist say they need their hair thinned, but many do not truly understand why they would want this done since so many other women complain about having thin hair. If you were lucky enough to be born with naturally thick hair be happy, it can easily be thinned unlike those with thin hair who need it thickened. Thinning your hair is a great way to get many popular styles that may not have been possible do to the extra bulk of that thick hair. Kamisori thinning shears can get those locks where they are not so heavy and bulky making it easier to style and more apt to hold that style with less spray which is better for your hair.

Thinning Thick Hair For Better Style

Having a hair style with many layers is a great way to thin hair which very thick and heavy which will allow the beautiful natural waves in the hair appear more full of life. Too often those with very thick hair complain about the lack of bounce in their hair and wonder what they can do to get their hair to be not only full but vibrant as well. Using Kamisori thinning shears to create layers in this thick hair will help lighten the weight placed on the hair and allow it to be bouncier and healthier.

Getting Better Volume With Thin Hair

If you are one of the unlucky women who have naturally thin hair it is hard for you to get a good looking hairstyle with any volume and body that will remain in your hair past lunchtime. Women with fine hair usually find their best hair styles are shorter cuts which include layers which give them the most bounce and body for their naturally. Then from their it is easy to use a 1 inch curling iron to give the hairstyle a little more body and style. Just because your hair tends to be flat does not mean you have to leave it that way.

Getting the Right Curling Iron For Short Hair

Many women just head into the drugstore and buy a generic sized curling iron and very few realize that you can get a curling iron in various sizes which will enable you to make different sized curls in your hair. For the most part a 1 inch curling iron is a great overall size for the average hairstyle and for most heads of hair. If you have very short and thin hair, or just want really small tight curls, then you may want to consider the smaller barrel sizes. For thicker hair or for looser wavier type curls you will want to consider a barrel of one and half inches or larger.

Getting Better Curl In Fine Hair

Those with fine or thin hair sometimes have a very hard time getting some style and body into their hair that will actually stay for the day. Many times they can get a nice look in the mirror, but within the hour the hair has relaxed back to its normal straight appearance. One way to boost those curls that you have spent so much time creating with a hair curling iron is to have many layers cut into your hair. When your hairstyle has lots of layers the curls you place in your hair with the hair iron can better get results that will hold and stay keeping your hair gorgeous not just while you are styling it, but all day long.

Buying Curling Irons With Variable Temperature Control

If you are shopping for a new curling iron one very important feature you should look for is a variable temperature control. Many do not realize the importance of using just the right amount of heat to style their hair. It is important to use enough, but not so much that the hair is being overexposed to the temperatures. Various hair types need various temperatures to curl effectively. Thin hair does not need quite the hot temps that coarser more full hair needs to effectively curl. Generally off brand curling irons do not have this feature, but it can be readily found in professional curling irons.

How to Roller Set

First you want to make sure your hair is clean so shampoo and condition then towel dry. Use a setting gel or mousse to hold curl. If you have thin fine hair, I recommend not using a conditioner. Try just a small amount of spray in conditioner (I always emphasize on using products that do not contain alcohol) . Using conditioner on this specific hair type will cause the curl to not hold as long as it should. Also, try to use a thickening type gel or mousse. Your local Drugstore or Hairdresser will be able to help you chose a setting lotion that will work for you.

1. Using a fine toothed comb with a pick like handle (these are called rat tail combs)
2. Take a section on the top front of your head no bigger than the roller itself.
3. Pull this forward as shown is diagram 1 and roll back, keeping tight, loose rolling will result in a loose curl and you will notice this once you are done. Note: Try not to use the velcro type rollers as they don’t stay in place tight enough, and will leave you with loose curls.
4. Pin either side of the roller with a secure type clip.
5. Do this process all over always rolling back. As shown in diagram 2. Always make sure you are stretching the hair and not pulling it. Pulling too hard will result in a line showing once the rollers are removed. It is harder to not get this line on fine thin hair so be sure to never pull, stretch just as far as the hair will go naturally.
6. When you are finished place a hair net (you can even use a plastic bag or nothing at all) over your hair and sit under a dryer until completely dry. Note: if you do not have a dryer and you have a little bit of time on your hands just do your daily duties with the roller set intact and once dry remove rollers.
7. Once rollers are removed brush with a good bristle brush, it is not ideal to use the plastic type bristles.

Once you have brushed your hair out you will notice that you can almost make your hair do anything you want. This is a true benefit of roller setting. Usually your hair will hold this look for as many as 3 days before you will have to wash it again. I have known ladies to be able to leave it as long as a week. They would just come in every Monday or whenever their week was up and get their blow-dry roller set. This, of course depends on hair type, like I have said before, some people are just lucky with the hair they were born with. The average hair type can go 2-3 days without a noticeable shampoo.

Roller setting is quite easy and once you get the hang of it can be done in minutes flat.

Thin hair do’s & dont’s

Having fine thin hair almost seems like a curse. You try all the newest shampoos and conditioners that say they will change your hair into luscious thick locks. Well, after 37 years of trying them all I do believe not one of them made my hair thicker but some did in fact add body and or shine.

Things you should not do with thin fine hair:

• Do not shampoo everyday. Shampoo takes away the natural occurring oils that help in protecting thin fine hair.
• Do not blow dry from soaking wet. This will dry out your hair much quicker and your hair will become extremely damaged. After time it will look as though your hair is actually thinning out.
• Do not brush your hair from the top of your head to the bottom.  This will cause breakage. Breakage happens when you rip through your hair, brushing too quickly. The shorter pieces of hair that are not as long as the others are broken hairs.
• Do not use conditioner after each and every shampoo. This will weigh your hair down.
• Do not deep condition too frequently, your hair will always be limp and lifeless.
• Do not color or perm too frequently, causes extreme damage after time.
• Do not use elastics or barrettes that are too tight on your hair, this causes breakage.
• Do not use the highest heating temperature on hair straighteners, or other heating elements. Causes the hair to actually burn.

Thing you should do with fine thin hair:

• Shampoo every second day or third if you can handle it. Your hair will start to get used the non-shampooing everyday and soon you will be able to leave it for 2 days before your next shampoo. The natural occurring oils that your hair produce help to keep it healthy and shiny for a noticeable difference every time you have your first shampoo style after the 2 day waiting period.
• Blow-dry when your hair is almost dry.  Will keep your hair from becoming too dry and porous (porous is hair that is so dry that it has sucked up all the moisture. So although you may have just washed your hair it will be dry to the touch seconds later.)
• Brush from the bottom of your hair working up slowly and making sure to not rip through.
• Use a spray in conditioner (one that does not contain any alcohol) after at least 3 shampoos. This will prevent your hair from being weighed down from use of regular conditioners on  a daily basis.
• Deep condition once MAYBE twice a month. Use a lightweight but effective deep conditioning. This will help to restore your hair’s natural balance and keep hair shiny and healthy in between hair stylist visits.
• If you are a perm /colour user, make sure that you are doing this every 3 months if not more and getting your 6 week trim after perm. So easy to dry out fine thin hair with perms and or colours. Try to maybe see about getting hair extensions as a replacement to this. They are not as expensive as they used to be and now have clip on ones where you can do them yourself.
• Use loose fitting elastics. Prevents breakage
• Always use the lowest temperature on any heating device. You will know which temperature is best for you after some practice, instead of starting with the hottest temperature and burning your hair.
