Who is most likely to be affected?
It happens almost to all of us that our hair style just won't hold. There are 3 hair textures more prone to this problem. Before we go on with the tips, it is important that you understand what these different hair textures mean.
What's the meaning of low porosity, fine and thick hair?
- Low porosity: Hair with low porosity has a smooth cuticle and does not absorb moisture very well. As a result, styling products do not attach well to the hair and the hair style falls apart easily.
- Fine hair: Fine hair has a small diameter and is often less resistant. It tends to become loose and flat quickly, which can affect the durability of the styling.
- Thick hair: Thick hair, on the other hand, is strong and resistant. Although this has many advantages, it can also be difficult to keep styling in place because the hair is heavier and does not sculp easily.
Tips for long-lasting styling

1. The right preparation:
Before you start styling your hair, it's important to wash and condition your hair thoroughly. Use a mild shampoo that matches your hair type and a moisturizing conditioner. This will prepare your hair for styling.
2. Blow dry instead of air dry:
If you have hair with low porosity, it can be difficult to lock styling in it. Therefore, do not let your hair air-dry, blow-dry your hair completely dry instead. This opens the cuticle of the hair and allows the styling to hold.
3. Heat is your friend:
For fine hair and for very thick hair, it can be helpful to use some heat when styling. It's best to use a curling or flat iron on a low temperature. The heat makes the hair temporarily formable, so that the styling technique becomes firmer. However, do not forget to apply heat protection beforehand and to indicate the tools that you use in our online questionnaire. Thus, you will not need to worry about additional heat protection products.
4. The right tools:
If you're blessed with thick hair, it can be difficult to keep styling in place. This is where you need the right tools. Use bobby pins, clips or hair bands to hold individual strands or the entire hair in place. These little helpers can work wonders and keep your style fresh all day long.
5. The "cold air" method:
Here comes the last tip for long-lasting hair style: The "cold air" method! Set your hair dryer on cold and blow dry your hair style directed from the roots to the tips. The cold air helps to fix the hair and seal the styling. You achieve longer hold for your hairstyle without having to use additional products.
As you can see, there are many ways to make low porosity, fine or thick hair styles more durable without having to use additional styling products. But remember that personalized hair care, following the strictest Clean Beauty standards, like at Yours Truly, is an important factor for long-lasting styling.
