Aim for soft pliable paste or a fibre gum as these are both supple and generally not oily. Men-U Fibre Paste is by far one of the best products for texture on finer hair, adding fullness and thickness into the bargain. Next up is Tigi Bed Head Hard to Get Texturising Paste, which when used sparingly is light and not at all oily. At the budget end is Schwarzkopf got2b Beach Matt which again is light and non oily.

Apply all of these products to dry hair by skimming a small amount from the pot, rub between the palms of your hands and apply by running through and over your hair. Then just style into place as desired.

Tall Hair & Smooth Hold

Whether you are sporting a quiff or a flatter side part short back and sides, surprisingly using the same products on each look will do the job. First up is Dust it, again by Schwarzkopf. This wonder product which hit the stores about 3 years ago is ideal for Screwed Up Quiffs or flatter Trad Dad short back and sides. These styles are all about hold and Dust definitely gives you that.

Sprinkle some of this magic white powder directly onto dry or slightly dampened then comb/blow dry into place. That?s it! Apply more for super hold if needed.

Styles For Fine & Thin Texture Hair

Rather than single out individual styles I am going to talk about do’s and don?ts – well more do?s. Finer hair is probably the most difficult for a hairdresser to work with and thinning hair can be frustrating for both the client and the stylist as the limitations are so great. Usually finer hair looks best cut into a shorter style whilst keeping a more defined outline and not too choppy/messy – this will just create a weak finish.
