Hairstyles for fine hair - Fan updo

Hairstyles for fine hair as we approach the party season can include the classical fanned updo.

Essentially created by making a tight pony tail and anchoring it at the top of the crown and fanning the hair outwards. This hairstyle is best suited to medium to fine hair which is chin to shoulder length.

To create this look, start with a deep side parting, then brush all the hair back to form a pony tail. Bangs can be left in or out. A good light hairspray will make the hair more easily able to fan.

Hold the ponytail about the width of two fingers away from the base between forefinger and thumb and wrap the ponytail clockwise, loping it around the thumb and forefinger to create a loop. Pull the loop level to the base of the pony tail, then smooth the loop and pin it underneath, don't be afraid to use more than one pin, next to the scalp. Take your time ensuring this loop is well balanced and symmetrical.

As you will be fanning the hair, ensure there are at least two inches of free hair. The effect you are after is to create looped hair which merges into the base of the pony tail forming a soft bun, with the free hair sticking out at the base.

For the next step, again take time. Layer a strand of hair around the base of the pony tail, this will hide the band holding the hair in place. The arrange strands of hair into a fan shape, move the hair from one side to the other, to create a balanced shape.

Ensure you have sufficient light hairspray on the hair and pin each strand before moving on to the next. To make the updo stand up, either backcomb, with hairspray or cross two pins at the base of each strand.

Hairstyles for fine hair - Keeping hair healthy

Healthy Hair Secrets

By Katie Summers, THS Consultant



















Ever wondered why some people have luscious hair that is shiny and never looks out of place, and why you don't? A healthy hair makeover is surprisingly not too hard to achieve. All you need to do is learn a few healthy hair secrets and try a little home maintenance.




Great Hair Starts With a Good Cut

A professional haircut will ensure that your hair is free from damaged and spit ends and will make your hair look healthy. Seeing a professional will also give you the opportunity to get the right cut for your hair type and texture. Follow up visits which include regular trims will also guarantee that your hair will look and feel its best.




Healthy Hair Is Hydrated Hair

Drink plenty of water. Water not only hydrates your skin and body, it also hydrates your hair.




Product Overload

Don't use too many products. Product overload will weigh your hair down and make it look tired and greasy. Remember this rule: One product to style and one product to finish with.




Heat Styler Hazard

If you use a heat styler such as a hair-dryer, straightener or curling iron, then make sure to apply a heat protection product first. Heated stylers can zap your hair of moisture and leave your strands frizzy and hard to manage.




Sleeping Beauty

When you are sleeping your body is working its hardest to repair damage, including any hair damage, so plenty of sleep is a must. To further help your hair achieve its healthy best, try sleeping on a satin pillowcase. This will stop your hair from rubbing as you sleep and will control fly-aways.




Moisture Madness

Try an intensive conditioner once a week to keep your locks moisturized and to keep your hair soft. To get the best from your deep treatment, apply it to your hair then cover with plastic wrap or a plastic shower cap and leave for ten minutes before rinsing out. This will add heat and allow the treatment to penetrate. For a deeper condition, wrap a warm towel over the plastic wrap.




Product Placement

Choose the right products for your hair. If you've styled with the right products for your hair type and washed with the right shampoo then your hair should be naturally shiny and manageable. If it's not, see your stylist and get an expert opinion on what will work best for your hair.




Balanced Eating

Eating a well-balanced diet which is full of healthy proteins and lots of vitamins will keep your hair glowing. Not to mention your skin and your waistline!
