Styling fine hair isn’t easy. The hair can look limp, frizzy, whilst you also have the added worry of trying to make your hair look like it has volume. Below are a few tips we think can help.

• If you have a problem straightening your hair, don’t use a hair straightener. We recommend you use a blow-dryer and paddle hair brush as this will give the body of hair a filled finish.
• When you blow-dry your hair, the best way to get volume is by standing upright and pulling your hair straight up at the roots. This will create firmer tension, giving more lift.
• If you have problems with your hair not holding a style well, then use hair mousse beforehand.

Here are a few common mistakes people make when straightening their hair. If you commit one of them, cut it out!

Don’t think that conditioning/shampooing your hair will actually give you straight hair as it won’t. It may help with preparing with the process though. Also remember not to towel dry your hair thoroughly, instead choose the pat downwards technique.

When in the process of straightening your hair, if you see steam and/or sizzle have a look at the situation. Make sure your hair is dry when you straighten, if not this could be the reason for the sizzle.

It’s not necessary to straighten the same part of your hair more than once. It all comes down to tension.

Before you style your hair as a mohawk, our first tip will be not to style wet hair as it won’t stay up. We recommend after washing your hair, drying your hair to a point where it is only slightly damp.

For the styling product go for  a shaping cream or wax. If your hair is longer, make sure to have some hairspray also. Rub the product in your hand and rub through your hair and make it stand up. Make sure the front of the hair is stood up straight, for best effect. Position the sides forward with your fingers to create texture and then push hair together making a pyramid shape. If you’re not happy with strength of hold, use hair-spray after you#re done.
