Harper Does My Hair

Fine hair and thin hair are NOT the same thing curl friends! 👀

✦ Fine hair = smaller individual strands. You can still have LOTS of them!

✦ Thin hair = lower density, meaning fewer strands overall.

✦ You can have fine, dense hair or coarse, low-density hair!

Why does it matter? Fine hair may need lightweight products to keep its volume, while lower-density hair may benefit from a cut that preserves fullness.

Your curl pattern isn’t the only thing that determines what your hair needs! 🫶🏼

Let’s talk about styling for definition and volume.

For these curls, I layered mousse with a lightweight gel to get the best of both worlds. The mousse encouraged curl clumping and volume, while the gel helped hold the curl shape for longer lasting definition without sacrificing that light airy finish.

Diffusing helps build volume at the roots, set the style, and get curls dry sooner so your wash day results can last longer.

Curl tip! Leaving your roots damp for extended periods can contribute to scalp irritation and make it harder to achieve root volume. Getting your hair fully dry can also help your style hold its shape longer and give you that extra volume.

The goal isn’t just pretty curls when you leave the salon, it’s curls that work for you at home too!

The question isn’t if you could pull off short hair… it’s which short haircut fits your vibe?

Bixie, bob, or pixie? Which one would you choose?
