We should all be aware of our hair type, as this key characteristic determines the style that suits you best and has a big influence on the health of your hair.

You have probably already heard of the terms ‘thick hair’ and ‘fine hair’, although what does this really mean? How do you know which type yours is? Why does it matter? More importantly: what exactly is the difference?

The difference between thick and fine hair

Having thick hair means that you have more hair per square inch of scalp, or strands of hair that are wider in width.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, if you have finer hair, you will have less hair per inch of scalp, or strands with a thinner width, leaving more visible skin.

Not all hair is the same width, and the terms thick and thin can refer to the width of individual hair strands or the number of hairs per inch of the scalp.

Keep every type of hair healthy

Each type of hair needs its own special care because there are different factors that go into the overall health of your hair.
