Fine hair refers to hair strands that are thinner in diameter compared to medium or coarse hair types. It often feels soft and silky, and can be more prone to damage and breakage. People with fine hair may find it lacks volume and can become oily more quickly, as the natural oils from the scalp can travel down the hair shaft more easily. This hair type can be influenced by genetics and can vary in texture, color, and overall health. Proper care, including gentle shampoos and lightweight conditioners, can help maintain the health of fine hair. Styling products designed for fine hair can also add volume and texture without weighing it down.
