Women over 50 told 3 styling tricks to add volume to their locks – ‘excellent for thinning, fine hair’

For women over 50, hair that looks lacklustre and that is starting to thin can be a challenging concern.

However, an expert hairstylist has shared three tricks to use when styling that can help your barnet look its best.

Hairstylist and creative education director for Scruples Haircare William Whatley focuses on specific styling products and techniques that create the appearance of thicker, more voluminous hair without weighing it down.

These practical solutions are particularly designed for those dealing with fine or thinning hair as they age.

William’s first key recommendation centres on using volumising foam for creating fullness in thinning hair.

The expert emphasises the unique benefits of this styling product for women with hair that is fine or not as thick as it once was.

He told GB News: “This styling product gives all the volume with no weight. It is an excellent option for thinning fine hair.”

The weightless nature of the foam makes it particularly effective for those seeking to add body without compromising their hair’s natural movement.

Next, grab a good heat protector. The expert said: “The second most important piece of advice is protecting thin and fine hair by making sure that we are not over-damaging it with heat.”

This should be used before styling or applying any heat, such as drying your hair or using straighteners and tongs.

For his third recommendation to put some life back into your barnet, William advocated the use of sea salt spray.

“This is a great product for fine hair because it’s weightless and residue-resistant,” he explained.
