If you have the same texture, I’m going to share with you my hairstylist's secrets on how to transform this hair texture into two cute hairstyles for fine hair.


I’m going to teach you every tip and trick you need on how to style frizzy hair at home without the help of a stylist. Let’s get started!

Tools and materials:

  • Smoothing spray
  • Leave in conditioner with a heat protectant
  • Hair serum
  • Brush
  • Blowout brush
  • Velcro rollers
  • Curling iron
  • Wide-tooth comb 
  • Texturizing spray

How to smooth coarse, frizzy hair

The first thing I’m going to teach you is how to get smoothness with volume.


1. Apply smoothing products

Often, we straighten wavy, fine hair with a flat iron, and we end up with a pancaked look that is totally flat.


Instead, if you have a lot of frizz, you need to add some kind of smoothing product that will protect against heat.


I start my routine with a leave-in conditioner that multitasks as a styler and a heat protector. This is great for adding moisture for frizz control and a weightless shine. 

Applying a hair serum

2. Apply a hair serum

To really flatten it out, apply two pumps of a lightweight hair serum. This will protect your hair from breakage and prevent your hair from getting frizzy in humidity. 

Brushing hair

3. Brush your hair

After you apply your products for smoothness and heat protection, make sure you brush them all the way through from roots to ends before you start styling. 


How to blow dry fine hair

To blow dry my hair, I’m using a blowout brush. This is a great tool that is a love child between a blow dryer and a round brush.


It will make your hair look absolutely beautiful if you have textured hair that you want to smooth out. 

Using a blowout brush

1. Blow dry in sections

When you’re blow-drying, make sure you’re moving section by section, rotating the brush, and only moving on to the next section where your hair is a hundred percent dry.


If you don’t dry it all the way, you’ll get a lot of frizz.

2. Blow dry the top backward

If you want more volume, blow dry the top of the head backwards instead of with a part. This will lift your roots at the top. I tend to blow dry it forward to smooth out that front section and then back to smooth out the back section. 


How to get additional volume 

Once you’re done blow-drying, your hair should be nice and smooth, but there still isn’t a crazy amount of volume. So, what we’re going to do is add velcro rollers.

Using a blowout brush

1. Heat your hair again 

Before placing the velcro rollers, make sure the hair is hot. If it’s not, it won’t be malleable and the velcro rollers won’t have any effect.


You can do this by using your blowout brush again or a blow dryer with a diffuser attachment set to high heat after the rollers are in.

2. Add velcro rollers

I like using a nice, big size so I get loads of lift without too much bend or curl.


To get the most bang for your buck, try using a mohawk section. The top is really where you need the most lift, so put your velcro rollers on the top of your head.

3. Let them cool

Before you take the rollers out, you have to wait until the hair is a hundred percent cool or the volume will drop immediately.

You can see here how much lift and volume I have, as well as flexibility in my part.


I can part my hair on either side or even the middle if I want to as it’s much less limiting to blow dry your hair this way.


How to curl thin, fine hair

Now, I’m going to show you how to get really gorgeous, modern curls for medium-length hair. The best size curling iron is the one-inch iron. 

Curling fine hair

1. Put the barrel behind the hair and curl

Divide your hair in half at the back of the head and each side is going to be curled away from the face. You’ll know you’re curling away if the clip is in the front of the hair and the barrel is behind the hair.

2. Untwist the iron

To modernize this look, you want to leave about an inch of hair out of the barrel and when you’ve sufficiently heated the hair, unwind the barrel from the hair and pull it through the end.


This is going to give you a long curl with a straighter end, so you avoid ringlets. 

Combing out curls

3. Comb out

Use a wide-tooth comb and brush out the coils to get the style to look really great.

Adding texturizing spray

4. Use a texturizer

Texturizing sprays make a big difference in achieving textured waves. It builds airy volume and grit without the crunch.


Flip your hair over, blast it in, and then scrunch it out. You get a massive amount of lift, unlike hairspray which can weigh your hair down or create too much stiffness.
