fine hair

Soft wispy locks

Fine hair refers to individual hair strands with a small diameter, making them thinner and more delicate than average.

The term describes texture, not quantity—someone can have fine hair that's thick overall or fine hair that's also thin.

Fine hair tends to be silky but may lack volume and show oil more quickly: This shampoo is formulated for fine hair.

The phrase also describes soft, downy hair on the body: the fine hair on a baby's arm.
