fine hair can be soft, smooth and easy to style. keeping volume in it just takes a bit more convincing. the right fine hair care routine builds body and texture without piling on products that leave hair feeling heavy.
the evo volume range covers the wash and styling basics, and evo headonist dry texture spray takes centre stage for adding touchable texture, flexible hold and lasting volume.
what is fine hair?
fine vs thick hair refers to the diameter of each individual hair strand. fine strands are smaller in diameter, which can make hair feel soft and smooth but also more prone to falling flat, becoming oily or being weighed down by heavier products.
you can have lots of fine hair or very little of it, which is why fine hair and thin hair are not the same thing. if individual strands are difficult to feel between your fingers and your hair tends to lose volume quickly after styling, there is a good chance your hair is fine.
why does fine hair need a dedicated routine?
fine hair needs products that add body and condition without adding too much weight. a dedicated hair care routine for fine hair can help maintain volume from wash day through to styling, while keeping strands soft, manageable and protected from breakage.
the trick is to give fine hair enough to build body and stay conditioned, without weighing it down in product.

fine hair care routine: step by step
step 1: washing with a volumising shampoo
a good fine hair care routine starts at the scalp. oil, sweat and product build-up can quickly take the lift out of fine hair, so cleansing properly gives you a clean base to ensure volume sticks around for longer.
evo gluttony volumising shampoo uses gentle, sulphate-free cleansers to remove build-up without being harsh on the hair or stripping colour. it adds body without weighing fine strands down, while helping strengthen hair to reduce breakage and improve manageability.
- focus the product on your scalp rather than the mid-lengths and ends. that's where oil and build-up gather and working it in there is what gives you lift at the root. use your fingertips, not your nails.
- go for lukewarm water rather than hot. hot water can leave hair looking dull and dry out the scalp, which can trigger excess oil production and weigh hair down sooner.
- for most fine hair, a single cleanse is plenty. if you've used a lot of product or stretched a few days between washes, a quick double cleanse (two rounds of shampoo) clears any residue that could weigh you down.
step 2: maintain fullness with a lightweight volumising conditioner
fine hair still needs conditioning. skipping it can leave strands tangled, rough and harder to manage, which is not doing your volume any favours.
bride of gluttony volumising conditioner adds softness, shine and body without weighing hair down. it also helps reduce frizz and detangle fine strands, making hair easier to comb and style after washing.
- work through the mid-lengths and ends, keeping conditioner away from the roots to help preserve lift.
- leave in for a minute or two to condition and detangle.
- rinse thoroughly with cool water, leaving hair soft, smooth and ready to style.
step 3: finish with a volumising spray
once hair is clean and conditioned, a lightweight styling product can help build the shape and fullness you want to keep.
use root canal volumising spray for body and fullness without weighing down fine hair. itโs lightweight, easily buildable, and adds texture, style support and shine with a touchable finish.
- spray onto the roots of damp hair before blow-drying. start small and build up. fine hair has no patience for product overload.
- comb through with a wide tooth comb to ensure all-over volume
- blow dry your hair into shape to build volume and lasting hold.
step 4: take care when brushing fine hair
mastering how to care for fine hair means knowing when to go easy on it. wet hair is more vulnerable to stretching and breakage, so detangle gently with a wide-tooth comb or soft detangling brush, starting at the ends and gradually work up towards the roots, detangling each section with downward strokes.
a natural-bristle or mixed-bristle brush is a good choice for fine hair, moving your natural oils along the strand without tugging. go easy and don't over-brush, which flattens volume and roughs up the hair. for help matching a brush to your hair, see our guide to finding the best hairbrush for your hair type.
step 5: blow dry for added volume
when it comes to adding volume to fine hair, your blow-dry technique can make a massive difference. drying the roots in the opposite direction to where your hair naturally falls helps create lift and stops it settling flat.
- gently towel dry hair, apply heat protection and comb through to ensure every hair is protected. attach a concentrator nozzle to your dryer.
- evenly section your hair, clipping excess sections out of the way so can easily concentrate on one section at a time.
- use a round brush to lift hair at the roots, dry hair against the direction it naturally falls in for extra volume. keep the dryer moving and the temperature as low as possible to avoid any thermal damage.
step 6: refresh volume with a texturising spray
don't let small hair stop you from fulfilling your destiny of grandeur. evo headonist dry texture spray gives fine hair buildable volume and workable texture, without the crunch or stiffness of a hairspray. zeolite creates a dry, matte finish without leaving a powdery residue, while glycerin helps keep the texture soft and touchable.โฏ
- shake well, then spray onto dry hair from around 20 centimetres away.
- focus on the roots for lift or work through the mid-lengths when you want more texture and movement.
- use your fingers to tousle and shape the hair after spraying, adding more where you need it.
how to maintain volume in between washes
you donโt have to fall flat hair between washes. how to maintain volume in fine hair comes down to a few small habits. keep these in rotation and your volume can hang around for longer:
- reach for evo headonist dry texture spray to refresh texture and lift the roots whenever the mood (and hair) starts to drop.
- keep a lightweight option like root canal volumising spray on hand to add lift and body at the roots.
- flip your head and shake out the roots or use a round brush with a shot of cool air to bring back lift.
- wear loose hairstyles rather than tight ones, which can leave dents and flatten your shape.
- go easy on touching and re-brushing through the day, since that drags oil down the hair shaft and deflates volume.
- keep up your wash-day routine so you're starting from a clean, strong base each time.

wash fine hair as often as it needs it. oil and product build-up tend to show up faster on fine strands and can quickly flatten volume, so keeping the scalp clean gives you a better base for styling. between washes, headonist dry texture spray can help refresh your lift when things start heading south. see our guide to how often to wash your hair for the full picture.
-
to stop products from weighing you down, choose lightweight products and apply them in the right parts of your hair. keep conditioner and richer products on the mid-lengths and ends, away from the roots. use small amounts and build up only if you need more. when you wash, rinse thoroughly so nothing lingers, and lean on dry, lightweight products like a texture spray for volume instead of heavy creams or oils.
-
building volume starts in the shower. the evo volume range is designed to carry that fullness through from washing to styling.
start with a volumising shampoo and a lightweight conditioner, add a volumising lotion or spray through damp hair, then blow dry with your head flipped or your sections lifted at the root. finish with evo headonist dry texture spray to lock in texture and lift.

โfineโ and โthinโ get used interchangeably, but they aren't the same thing. fine describes the width of each strand, so every individual hair is thinner. thin describes density, meaning there's less hair overall across your head. you can have hair that's fine but dense, thin but coarse, or both at once. knowing which one you're working with makes it easier to pick the right products and routine.
-
look for a dry texture spray that adds grip and lift without stiffness or heavy residue. evo headonist dry texture spray is built for exactly that, with styling polymers for flexible hold, zeolite for a dry matte finish and no powdery feel, and glycerin to keep it soft and touchable. it works on freshly styled hair for instant body, and on second-day hair to bring volume back.
