Fine hair – Only very recently have hair-care manfactures come up with some real help:  shampoos and conditioners containing thickening agents to coat temporarily individual hairs, creating more bounce and texture. Setting gels and mousses also add bulk, help stand up for itself, and curb its fly away tendencies.

Coarse hair – Very thick, especially frizzy, hair can be difficult to style and look deadly dull, as the curlier your hair, the less it refects the light. It may also be brittle, so conditioning is doubly essential. Treat as for dry hair, making sure you thoroughly comb the conditioner right through to the tips to keep up the gloss.
