Fine Hair

Silicone might be a known shine booster, but it can also be very heavy, coating fine hair strands and weighing them down for a limp, lifeless appearance. That’s why you won’t find any silicone in our collection. Instead, we’ve opted for lightweight, gentle sources of shine, such as avocado oil, coconut oil, and camellia seed extract. 

"True shine should come from nourishing the hair strand, not suffocating it under heavy synthetic barriers. By replacing build-up-prone silicones with lightweight botanical oils, you give fine hair weightless movement, natural brilliance, and genuine long-term health." - Andrew John, Percy & Reed Creative Director.

The ‘strand test’ is the simplest way to test if you have fine hair. Simply pluck a strand of hair from your head and see how it feels between your fingertips. If you feel barely anything, you likely have fine hair. 

Fine hair also shouldn’t be confused with thin or thinning hair. Fine hair refers to the thickness of individual hair strands, while thin hair is when there is a lower-than-average number of hair strands on the head. For thinning rather than fine hair, explore our Strengthening Range.

Fine hair styling is all about boosting volume. Along with using our volumising products, there are a few other tips and tricks to achieve a fuller, thicker look.

Blow-drying your hair is a great way to create height when done right. First, add some of our volumising mousse at the roots, along with a generous all-over spritz of blow-dry spray. Then, turn your head upside down to dry for even more lift. 

You can also opt for a haircut that leaves your hair feeling light. Blunt bobs and pixie cuts are popular because shorter hair tends to have more bounce. Another option is to add a deep side part. This helps to boost the height of your hair at the crown. 

Because the natural oils in our hair can weigh down individual strands, and fine hair strands become coated with oil more quickly than thicker ones, we recommend washing fine hair every 1-2 days with our silicone-free shampoo and conditioner.
