Hair Care Guide - More Volume & Fullness
Lightweight organic hair care – without silicones, sulfates, or quats. For more volume, healthy shine, and fuller hair – with plant proteins, niacinamide, and aloe vera. Ideal for weak, greasy hair.
The characteristics of fine hair
Fine hair is characterized by a smaller diameter and a more delicate texture. These characteristics often lead to less volume, making the hair feel loose and appear greasy more quickly. Conditioner and styling products can also quickly weigh down fine hair, making it appear lifeless and flat. To achieve volume and texture, fine hair requires a specially tailored care and styling routine.
Mistakes in the care of fine hair
- Harsh surfactants: Conventional shampoos containing harsh surfactants such as SLS, ALS, or SLES, as well as sodium coco sulfate (SCS) in almost all organic shampoos, dry out the scalp and damage the hair's natural fatty acid layer. This stimulates sebum production, causing the hair to become greasy more quickly and requiring more frequent washing, which further damages the hair's natural protective film.
- Silicones and quats: Silicones and quaternary ammonium compounds (quats, polyquats) are found in many hair care products and provide short-term shine. Over time, however, they build up on the scalp and hair shaft, preventing adequate nutrient delivery. The result is a weak, flat hair structure that loses elasticity and shine over time.
Recommendations for volumizing hair care
- Gentle surfactants for a healthy hair balance: To protect the scalp and hair structure, organic shampoos with mild, plant-based, detergent-active amino acids are best. These protect the scalp and strengthen the hair. Myrto organic shampoos contain these skin-friendly surfactants in the highest possible concentration to strengthen the hair structure and support volume without damaging the hair fiber.
- Avoid silicones and oily conditioners: With prolonged use, silicones weigh down the hair due to their build-up effect, leading to flat roots. A shampoo without oily conditioners, such as the Bio Shampoo Ultramild Free , is ideal for fine hair because it's gentle on the scalp and allows for daily washing without over-drying the hair.
- Apply a light conditioner only to the ends: For more volume in fine hair, the myrto Bio Volume Conditioner is a good choice. Its base of aloe vera gel and plant proteins strengthens the hair structure and thickens the hair shaft without weighing it down. To maintain volume, the conditioner should only be applied to the lengths and ends.
Volume tips for styling
- Volume Styling Gel: The myrto Bio Finisher Volume Gel provides natural conditioning and hold. It can be used on damp hair as a heat protectant or on dry hair to add defined volume. It can also be worked into the roots to lift and add volume.
- Regulating scalp care: A light scalp treatment, such as myrto Organic Scalp Treatment F , regulates sebum production and, with regular use, can prevent greasy roots. With 3% niacinamide and zinc-containing active ingredients, the scalp is soothed, hair growth is stimulated, and the hair shaft is thickened.
Hair-friendly heat styling and combing
- Use hair dryers and other tools sparingly: Hair dryers, curling irons, and straighteners can be damaging to fine hair. If blow-drying is essential, use a low heat setting and a diffuser. Tip: Blow-dry your hair upside down or occasionally part your hair to create more volume.
- Gentle detangling: Fine hair is more sensitive and should be brushed with a wide-toothed comb when dry, if possible, to avoid breakage and pulling out.
Nutrition for strong hair
A balanced, protein-rich diet contributes to strengthening fine hair. Protein sources such as fish and eggs, whole grain products, especially oatmeal, and nuts support hair growth and give hair strength and shine. Minerals such as iron, zinc, and biotin also promote the health and volume of fine hair.
