Are you constantly trying to pump volume into your flat, thin hair? We know it’s hard! While other girls have it easy with their naturally thick mane, you have to put in some extra effort to make your limp hair look fuller and dense. Having said that, are you sure you are not ruining your thin hair by making these sloppy hair care mistakes? Take a look at 5 common mistakes you shouldn’t be making, but you probably are!
