Whether your hair is frizz-prone or fine-textured, a natural lift can seem difficult for many to sustain. After getting rid of any excess product build-up and cleansing with a moisturizing shampoo, sometimes you still need an extra boost.From the sun and humidity to color treatments or genetics, there are so many potential causes of thinning and damaged hair. However with the proper care, there are simple solutions to nurse your hair back to optimal health while adding a lot of volume along the way.
