For those with thinner, less dense and straight strands the focus is on keeping the hair appearing healthy by reducing oil, preventing weigh-down, and reveal a luxurious shine. There is a strong focus on scalp health here as flaking or scalp issues are more easily seen on such shiny, dark, thin hair. Consider light weight and exfoliating scalp products to address issues at the root. Additionally, there is high concern for exposure to the sun and pollution and its detrimental effects. Add UV and Anti-pollution ingredients for complete scalp and hair protection and lasting beauty.

As the hair is already thin and is more prone to thinning, products that give volume at the roots while giving a fuller appearance are highly sought out. For any color other than blond, the scalp can draw your eye, exemplifying a contrast and making consumers self conscious. Consider combining hair stimulation benefits with ingredients that both create volume, as well as prevent hair fall. Such as these:
- Trichogen – aid in the decrease of hair loss and stimulation of hair growth, stimulation of metabolism, improvement of cellular oxygenation and skin/scalp microcirculation
- Tricholastyl – Protection against glycation to help reduce thinning and hair loss
- Luviquat Supreme AT 1 – Increases volume for fine hair with superior humidity resistance, curl retention and conditioning with detangling properties
- BBR PO 370 – foam booster that also strengthens hair

In sharing hydration, breathability, and protection benefits for both skin and hair, products that are applicable to both have fostered a cult following.
