Fine hair is always envied for the smooth texture, the soft delicate feel when the strands are run though with fingers. Fine hair is almost translucent and naturally holds a healthy amount of moisture.
However, there are still some woes of women with a crown of fine hair – be they curly, wavy or straight. Fine hair breaks easily, having a thinner diameter by strand. Fine hair is also oilier than other hair types and suffers more from hair product overuse, making it look dull and heavy. Also, let us not forget the biggest enemy of fine hair: flyaway strands that can make any girl look like she just rolled out of bed later in the day when they spent a great amount of time fixing their hair a while ago in the morning.
