When you have thinning hair, protecting the hair you do have is extremely important. Damaging your hair through chemical processing, poor styling techniques, and yes, even heat tools, can lead to breakage, which will just make your hair look even thinner. Unfortunately, many people find it difficult to give up heat tools. After all, who has time to let their hair air dry before work in the morning?
If you can’t give up heat styling altogether on your fine, thin hair, one of these styling tools is a good alternative. Keep reading for our tips for the best hair styling tools for fine hair, and how to use them to make your hair look fuller.
When shopping for hair styling tools for fine hair, you’ll want to look for heat tools with lower temperature settings. Fine or thinning hair usually does not require as much heat as thick hair to style, and the excess temperatures only serve to dry out and damage hair.
Fine Hair Hair Styling Tools
Styling tools with ceramic heating elements also work better for fine hair, since ceramic distributes heat more evenly. This way, your hair will heat up evenly for a flawless style that minimizes damage. And to further amp up fine or thin hair, shake or spray on Hair Building Fibers wherever your natural hair is looking sparse. Fibers cling to even the tiniest strands of your existing hair, making it look instantly thicker and fuller.
And remember, always use a heat protectant product before heat styling hair. A heat protectant creates a barrier between hair and the heating element, which helps to defend it against breakage.
A great blowout can definitely make thin hair look fuller, but using a hair dryer can also damage hair. The trick is to invest in the right hair dryer for fine hair.

For thin hair, you’ll want to look for a dryer that doesn’t get so hot that it dries out your hair, but one that blows powerfully enough that it will dry your hair quickly. Look for a dryer with a ceramic heating element, which heats up evenly to speed up drying time. A hair dryer with 600 to 2200 watts of power is best for thinning hair. Choose a dryer with ionic technology that helps to reduce static in hair, which is particularly troublesome to fine or thinning hair types.
As with a hair dryer, choose a ceramic curling iron rather than a metal one. Wide-barreled curling irons are too big for fine or thinning hair, which often does not hold a curl as well.
Instead, use a smaller barrel curling iron. A curling iron with a ¾” or 1” barrel works well for fine or thinning hair. To make sure your curls last as long as possible, catch each section after curling and pin to your head. Keep the curl pinned for at least 20 minutes while it cools. This helps to set the curls and makes them last much, much longer!
Best Straighteners, Blow Dryers, Curlers, And Other Tools For Styling Your Hair
The best hair brushes for fine hair have soft bristles, and don’t pull or break hair. Hair brushes with nylon bristles are best for fine hair since they help to eliminate static. A wide-tooth comb is also essential for fine or thinning hair. Remember: use only a wide-tooth comb on wet hair and only use a gentle, nylon-bristle brush on hair that is completely dry.I have a drawer full of hair gadgets, and some are better than others. Fine hair, like mine, can be a struggle, as it can resist holding even a heat style for a long time. I am rummaging through my drawer to produce this list of the best hair styling tools for fine hair. To make the cut, each tool needs to be extremely easy to use, with little to no skills or learning curves required. I am terrible with hair styling, so a complicated tool is a hard pass. Also, each tool needs to create a beautiful style that lasts all day. I am narrowing my collection down to 10 tools. This list additionally features some related extras to further enhance your hot tool experience, and I am even digging through selfies to find examples of my hair styled with select tools. I do not have examples for everything, but for most I do. Time to begin with the list!
I am starting this list of the best hair styling tools for fine hair with the Curlipops Apple Bottom Curls curler by Bed Head. The reason this wand is called “apple bottom” is due to the unusual tapered shape. We typically see a curling wand go from thick to thin as our eyes travel up the barrel to the tip, but this one is the opposite. It goes from thin to thick! I absolutely love how my curls look each and every time that I use this curling wand, and it is my favorite out of my collection. Preferably, I will try to section my hair and take my time with this one to get a really nice, full and bouncy effect.
Second is the ION Automatic Ceramic Crimping Iron that is taking the internet by storm! Just as the name implies, this device glides down your hair and crimps it in seconds. I take about a one inch strand of hair and close it between the two plates. The ION logo should not be upside down, and it should be facing outward, not facing you. That way, you know you are holding it correctly. As soon as the device closes, it starts feeding the hair through. All you need to do is glide your hand down, but you never have to clamp your hand around the device and suffer from sore hands. I do get some frizz with the crimps, but that is a side effect of any crimping. My favorite look is to crimp specific sections of hair, rather than my whole head.

Third is Remington’s Pro Half-Inch Pearl Ceramic Conical Curling Wand. This is your typical clip-less curling wand that is tapered. It is my go-to anytime I want to curl my hair, especially for a quick curl. Often, I will not section my hair, but I will take one inch sections and make my way around my head. I also like to put my hair in a ponytail and do a quick curl on the strands. A half-inch wand is great for fine hair, especially with tapering, because you get curls that are not super tight, nor will they be so loose that your hair will look devoid of curls after a short while. It has a variety of heat settings on a round dial, but I prefer to keep it around 15.
Fourth is Conair’s YOU Wave Ultra Ceramic Waver. This devices provides wavy hair that I personally like to call mermaid hair. Mine is about five plus years old, as waving picked up popularity around 2015. It is making another comeback, and similar devices are flooding the internet. As much as I love this waver, I rarely use it for a variety of reasons. For one thing, it takes a long time to style your entire head. You have to start with a one inch section of hair and use force to squeeze it between the plates, then keep moving down that strand until you are done. This device leaves me with cramped hands for days. But, the final results are beautiful.
Fifth in these best hair styling tools for fine hair is Remington’s Pretty Fierce Straightener. It is super skinny, and my purpose for buying it is for curling my hair with a flat iron. Admittedly, I am pretty bad at it. Hair is not my calling in life. However, I can get a look that I enjoy where the hair looks sort of flipped and twisty. You can also use this straightener for its intended purpose, but that will take a long time with the skinny plates. I cannot get over how pretty mine is with the rose gold plates and glitter!

Next is the “as seen on TV” Silky Straight Ceramic Hair Straightening Brush. When I want straight hair, I prefer to use it over a regular straightener. It does the job a lot faster because you simply brush your hair with it. I do brush slower than I do with a real brush, but I rarely section my hair when using this device. For a quick and dirty straighten, any type of straightening hair brush is your best friend.
Here is Remington’s Wet2Straight Flat Iron. The wide plates do help save time while straightening your hair, which is a must if your hair is long, and even if it is thick. You can use this device on dry, damp, or wet hair, as it has settings for all three. There are holes that allow the steam from your hair to escape. I prefer to use this on wet hair when I want a pin straight look that lasts for days. I do have to be sure to get my hair 100% dry, as even the slightest amount of
