Definition:
A term characterizing flat hair, lacking in texture. The hair appears as if "stuck" to the roots. They are more fragile and damage more quickly.
Internal and external causes:
Genetics; hair aging; long hair (gravity); use of unsuitable hair products; accumulation of sebum or dirt on the scalp (weighing down); humidity; repeated highlights or color treatments; use of high temperatures from hair dryers or straightening irons.
How to reduce or eliminate:
Invest in a densifying shampoo rich in keratin, plant proteins, amino acids, and biotin to add body to the hair while stimulating growth at the root; opt for a short haircut to add lightness; apply a styling mousse to structure the hairstyle and add volume; rely on a dry shampoo; dry hair upside down to create volume; choose curls/waves for an impression of volume; use a hair diffuser to separate strands and create texture.
Preventative steps to take:
Use a hairdryer at a low temperature; it is better to avoid long hair which tends to intensify the effect; use hair products without silicone.
