Is your hair so thin that a mere ten minutes can be enough to prepare your hair for a ball? If so, this article is for you!

Step 1: Shampoo for thin hair

With frail hair it is very hard to choose a particular shampoo. The brand, type and amount can depend all on your level of oil, your volume, shine, softness, etc. If you have dry, thin hair and you want luscious, bouncy volume you could use “Herbal Essences Touchably Smooth” shampoo or “Dove Daily Moisture” shampoo. If you have flat, unpleasant hair  “Aussie Aussome Volume” would help you. “Ion Thickening Shampoo” from Sallys is for you if you have thin annoying hair! If your hair is dry, yet oily, shineless, and flat you should use “Mane n Tail” shampoo.

Step 2: How to casually wear your hair

Straight hair- First, use your ideal shampoo. Get a good, expensive straightener from Sallys or your hairdresser and plug it in! When your straightener gets steaming hot, you’re ready!
