Fine hair can definitely pose some unique challenges. We certainly want to keep our strands super soft and shiny. But we absolutely don’t want any added weight. Also, tamping frizz and flyaways can often mean kissing our volume goodbye. Does this sound like you? Then it may be time to add a lightweight hair oil to your hair care routine.
Luckily, there are so many wonderful hair oils for fine hair to choose from. And at a variety of price points. Which is great for those of us still trying our best to stick to a budget. These hair oils will nourish your hair without the heavy, greasy feeling that can make your struggling-to-exist strands deflate before your very eyes. They also serve as great heat protectants and, with a little help from your trusty blowdryer, can really help your locks shine. Many even boast sweet scents that make them all the more covetable.
Check out some of our favorite lightweight hair oils for fine hair in the slideshow above. We guarantee you’ll find yourself reaching for them on a pretty regular basis. So go ahead and treat yourself to a little weightless TLC.
