How to pep up limp hair

Limp hair is very difficult to treat. It doesn’t respond well to most styling and it can be quite ageing.

According to LiveStrong, our hair’s thickness naturally starts to wane in your mid-20s. Smoking, excessive heat and chemical treatments can make the unwanted change even more pronounced. It’s tough to permanently thicken hair, but that doesn’t mean you need to live with fine, limp locks. A flattering haircut or new color can give thin tresses instant volume. Pair your style with body-boosting products for a look you’ll love.

To add instant volume to your mane, spritz damp roots with a lifting spray or apply a dab of volumising mousse. Smooth a thickening cream from the middle of your hair strands to the ends. Look for thickening creams or sprays that contain Lilly Pilly, an Australian antioxidant that gives hair body. Avoid gels and heavy products that can weigh hair down. Let your hair air-dry until it is 80-percent dry before continuing with a blow-dryer, and then part your hair differently than how you intend to wear it before you do blow-dry, as this will add volume when you flip your hair into its usual spot. You can curl your hair at the roots to add fullness, and you can also use large hot rollers to roll up 1-inch-wide sections of hair at the top part of your head. Twist the rollers 180 degrees and use plastic clips to hold them in place. Remove them after 20 minutes.
