You can grab sections of it on the top, sides and back and watch how it falls when you let go. This is a great tip from experts. If your hair falls flat and limp, you have fine hair.

Tip two: Know your face. Your hair frames your face, and a cut that looks good with one face does not always look good with another. So, take time to figure out what cuts and styles work with your face. Oval faces, round faces, long faces, square faces, they all look best with different cuts. Figure it out.
Tip three: Go for a piecey look. Pieced hair is popular, and it can look good with short hair, long hair, or anything in between. If you want to get the pieced look, be sure to start with dry hair. Then use some product. You will want to rub a small amount of product between hands, then apply to random chunky pieces of hair. Pomades, waxes, and putties are best for getting the pieced look, and the one that works best for you depends on your hair texture. So, try them all out and see what looks best. Also, be sure to apply whatever product you choose from mid-shaft of hair down. If you get too close to the crown, there is a good chance that your hair could turn greasy. So run some on your hands, then separate chunks of hair to create the piecey effect quickly and easily. Most experts agree that this look is best for the short, layered hair but will work on other lengths as well.
Tip four: Learn the best ways to use product in hair. Most experts say that in order to properly apply a styling spray, cream or gel, you will need to saturate your hair with product, then comb product through your hair so it is evenly distributed. You want the product to coat each strand rather than just sit on top of it. When you use this approach do not use a metal or plastic comb, choose wood or boar hair. If you learn to use product well, it will enhance your hair instead of make it worse. If you do not know how to use it, it can make your hair look weighed down, or it can make it dull, or it can make it look greasy. Used right, it offers texture, shine, and a sleek look.
Tip five: Keep it healthy. If you want to have great looking hair you need to keep it free from split ends, and you need to keep the hair shape. This means that you should keep your hair trimmed. If you have a specific cut you like, then every couple of months go in to get your hair reshaped, this will keep you from hating your hair and doing something drastic you might later regret.
