Having fine hair is both a blessing and a curse. On the bright side, thinner strands do not need as much hair product to coat them, and drying and styling hair takes significantly less time than it does for a head of thick locks.

One of the best upsides? Fine hair is naturally soft, silky and smooth effortlessly.

While there are tons of benefits to having fine hair, styling and maintaining it follows a different set of rules than for those with very thick or coarse strands.

It requires a balance between maintaining moisture, body and preventing an oily or greasy appearance.

Hair growth is one of the most pressing of the hair trials and tribulations. You feel like your hair growth is stagnant. That no matter what you do (like all the promising hair masks) your hair just won’t go past the length that it is now. But like anything else, it can be figured out.

There are plenty of reasons why hair decides not to grow past a certain length. Anything from your diet, chemical imbalances to the products you may be using can make it challenging for your hair.
