I was so relieved when the video started, you have no idea. If I see one more video where a woman talks about how she cares for her thin/fine hair and when you watch it she has very usual medium thickness...I wanna screeeaam. I'm sure they're all super lovely women but so many of them do not know what they're talking about, they don't know what thin hair is. Like, I know it's an insecurity of yours but it's so important to have these videos. You watch what people think is thin hair and you're like ugh am I abnormal if THAT'S thin?

I can totally relate to this. One of my biggest frustrations is bringing an image to my hairdresser after looking up fine hair styles and then realizing that the inspo isn't anywhere close to where I'm at and I won't be able to actually obtain that look. So let's start creating content on here that we can relate to. :)

@rowanofthenorth2051

I think some of the confusion/inconsistency is that 'thin' and 'fine' aren't referring to the same thing. I have fine hair (the individual strand), but quite a lot of it. So it looks good day one when it's all volumized, but if I pony tail it or braid it and compress it down, it absolutely disappears, and it's like... half the hair. You could have thick hair strands, but thin hair (amount of hair) overall. :)

Both my parents have fine hair as well.

As a hairstylist i must say that drying your hair fully naturally isn’t always the best solution. Wet hair, especially when it’s bleached is very very fragile. 10 times more fragile than dry hair. So when you don’t blow dry your hair at all the hair structure is still open and with the movements we make there is always a friction which causes the hair to break much easier than when it’s dry. I wouldn’t say it’s good to blow dry the hair when it’s still wet but maybe when it’s 70-80% dry and then blow dry it with low temperature so the structure from the hair is smooth again. I’m German so I hope you understand what iam trying to say 😅

Tips start at 3:12 1. Be easy on your hair - pretty much in regards to anything...Use a brush with flexible bristles so less breakages happen. Use a wide tooth comb instead of a.thin tooth comb. 2. Be mindful with how much you are colouring /processing your hair ..Accept your hair for what it is as much as possible 3. Condition the bottom part of your hair only 4. Turn down the temperature : rinse with lukewarm water 5. Do not brush vigorously (especially when out of the shower) 6. Do not use so many products 7. Dry hair naturally. 9. Microfibre towel is better than cotton-roch towel 10. Trim your hair regularly ; every 6-8 weeks 11. Use dry shampoo 12. Towel dry pat the dry shampoo 13.

Your point ?

Im glad I found this video, because I've always had super fine hair and its my biggest frustration. Especially as both my sisters have beautiful thick hair that grows really long. I've spent years and years perfecting my routine, products and care to make the best of my hair, grow it long and healthy. For me washing every 3 days, using a homemade dry shampoo in-between, sleeping on a silk pillow and a French plait, no ponytails. Always air dry upside down or with a loose bun on top of my head, never let it dry flat on my head. Use silk scrunchies. Protein and multivitamin supplements. Bi-weekly overnight oil treatments. Aloe vera scalp treatments once a week. See all the shit people with fine hair have to go through 😭

Layers make hair look thinner, but a lot of hair stylists will tell their thin hair clients that they would look good w/ face framing layers. You should get a long lob (long bob), layers are the worst.

Have had extensions (Great lengths, very fine ones cut into two strands each) ever since as otherwise I would have only one layer of my already baby fine hair!! Very expensive!!!! I have to say, lockdown has stopped the highlighting, so it has managed to grow out better. But please, NEVER let anyone layer your fine hair! Xx

I know this is a huge pain body for a lot of women! Myself included :)

Great video! Hello fine hair tribe, I can totally relate. Here are a few low-cost items that really have helped my hair. 1) Weekly mix an egg with 1 teaspoon olive oil, massage into scalp and through the hair (cover with plastic cap and leave in for 20-60 minutes). Messy but worth it!! 2) aloe Vera gel - minimum 2x daily scalp massage morning and evening. Add essential oil of choice for yummy smell 😀 3) use aloe Vera gel for hair styling too Thru the years I have spent a lot of $$ on hair products and these have been just as effective if not better. Also looks like I am older than most of you, however during pandemic my hair got a LOT better. So there is hope 🔥😎

I have very long hair, and a lot of it, but it's so ridiculously fine! When I get deep conditioning treatments the ladies say my hair is as fine as a little girl's hair. It's so frustrating the amount of effort it takes to keep it from breakage, just sleeping wrong can cause a million split ends. (10/10 recommended using silk pillowcases if you have fine hair) However, by eating healthy and diligently protecting it from the damage that heat, friction, and unprotective hairstyles so easily cause, I think it is possible to learn to appreciate the positives of having fine hair. For example, I have tail bone length hair and I hardly get headaches compared to my friends with much thicker, but also shorter hair than I have. I also think my hair hardly knots because there is not much friction because fine hair is sometimes softer. We hust have to look at the bright side :)

I know this video is old but new to me. It's so nice to find a video about thin hair from someone with thin hair who can actually relate! Thanks for all the tips. I'm growing out my bangs and haircolor and am looking for ways to take care of my thin, fine hair.

Amanda, you've given some great tips here! My hair has been thinning since the beginning of the pandemic. I am older, so aging may be playing a part, but stress is a factor I believe. I started washing my hair less, even 4 or 5 days apart. I must admit, I've tried some high priced "anti-aging" shampoo/conditioners that just haven't made much difference. I've had my blood checked, good iron levels, after eating (sorry vegans) lamb liver. This was recommended by a naturopath for raising iron level. There are lots foods that can help with staying healthy: Brazil nuts, sunflower seeds, walnuts, dark green leafy veggies. Supplements: Collegen, Biotin, Vit D. I've also heard that gently massaging the scalp can help by getting the blood flowing. So far, my hair is still thinning, getting harder to manage. I know it is time to get a shorter haircut :(

I know I'm late to this video, personally I tip my head forward in the shower and wash it upside-down. This ensures I only shampoo the roots, rinse then condition the ends. It also allows me to turn down the water temperature to cold. Then I gentle wrap in a micro fibre turbin for 10mins then gentle hair dry only running my fingers through as a comb/brush.

Wow! I found this video tonight after I got frustrated yet again for having such thin hair. I have hair exactly like yours and I have never seen a video that actually portrays having thin hair in a realistic way. This has been my biggest insecurity my entire life. I wear my hair up almost every day because of it but this made me feel so much better and not so alone in being insecure with my hair. These tips were so helpful.

I struggled with my hair for so many years! I too used to get extensions done and I was addicted dying my hair blonde. My hair is naturally a dark brown so, the more i dyed it the thinner it became. When i had to remove the extensions I had very little hair left. It hurt me to the core. I felt so bad about myself. I went on a healthy hair journey for years trying to grow thicker longer hair. But i always had frizzy hair so i would have to heat style it to make it look decent. Then when the pandemic hit I quit styling my hair and tried the curly girl method. And my hair changed soooo much. It is now so long, the longest I have ever grown it and it has volume! The biggest change was I stopped brushing my hair when it was dry and only in the shower with conditioner. And my hair stopped breaking !

Or my face, either etc. My husband once told me (after the first time he ever saw me dive into a pool and swim underwater, coming up to surface at the ladder where he stood) that I have a pretty face. He said you can always tell if a woman is pretty if -she looks good with wet hair, meaning not using hair to cover or mask flaws or less than lovely features. Some women refuse to even go in the water at the beach, wear makeup to the beach, or else they won't get their hair wet. They depend on their hair to look good. I don't because I can't, but I'm ok with it.

Oh my goodness, my hair is almost exactly like yours! I am a dark blonde/light brunette. My hair was practically white when I was young, and my hair is very fine and delicate. I constantly deal with grease and limp hair, and I really dont know what to do with it. Glad to know that there is someone who shares my struggles!

Same. When I saw those photos I was like there’s someone else! My second day is always so flat even when pulled back. I didn’t think it was too bad until the other day a cooker complimented my hair and said must have been wash day...now I’m self conscious about not washing it every day.

Aw my pleasure Karla! There are so many supportive women here in the comments. I am so appreciative of all of you! ♥️ Fine hair is totally normal

I have thin hair, and this is the video that hooked me on your channel. I have been with you ever since.

When my hair came in after birth, it was light red and quickly turned to white blonde. It stayed that way until I was about 40, and then started growing in slightly mousey. I have had extremely fine, thin, flyaway hair all my life. I may have an advantage because of a small bit of wave. My hair really frustrated me due to it's fineness and limpness! I have done some research and found out that naturally blonde hair is missing a layer in the hair. Normal hair has a cuticle, a cortex, and a medulla, which is the center most part of the hair which gives it body and strength. Natural blondes often do not have the medulla, which is why our hair feels waaaayyyyy tooooo soft! Knowing that didn't really help any, but it did explain why my hair was so unmanageably soft. I have noticed also that products really weigh my hair down quickly and make really stringy and stiff. You are correct, it's about acceptance and doing the best we can with what we have. A little trick I learned, I condition my hair first and comb out all the tangles and then I gently wash it. It works much better for my hair. btw...protein in my hair products really helps my hair have a bit of texture.

I've been doing so much to try to help my hair grow longer. I haven't used heat on my hair in about 5 years and did no shampoo for a few. I know it's my genetics but I hate feeling hopeless about my hair and I really want long hair. Considering shaving it because that's about the only thing I haven't tried for it health.

This video resonated so much with me. I use to have a full head of hair and it has thinned out a lot post-pregnancy. I find it to be much thinner then ever and limp at the crown. Dry shampoos have been a challenge mostly since my hair is curly. Curly hair is easier to style when wet to combat frizz. It has hurt my confidence level and I am more mindful of how I care for it. These tips were great. Thank you so much for sharing!!

Very informative, thank you! I stopped bleaching my hair (hiding the silvers) in Oct 2019 and my new growth hair is thicker and softer than I've felt since I started coloring. It's still incredibly fine and I started to notice split ends and breakage. Noooooo! I've switched to fine tooth comb, and invested in Aveda blue malva and the super moisturising shampoo and spray in conditioner. I hope this works. I have oily scalp, but I think I will need to reduce daily washing to every other day.

YES! OMW! The greasy thing too! I even tried using a soap shampoo that is supposed to help with greasy hair, but it really doesn't make that much of a difference. My hair looks fuller when I curl it - but then like you said, it won't stay! My hair has been fine my whole live, but it started getting worse after school. I thought it was due to dying it, but I actually discovered I had a thyroid disorder, which makes your hair fall out more, and often gives you dry scalp, so that's great.

Additional tips: Add collagen peptides to your coffee every morning (decaf is better; caffeine affects absorption), plus take multivitamins and omega-3 supplements. Reduce stress - yoga, self-care and removing external toxic people or situations. Change your birth control, if possible, to non-hormonal options. Birth control eats up your B vitamins and can cause hair loss and thinning. Last, find a hairdresser who listens! So many hairdressers chop off all my progress because thin hair, well, looks thin. :) Amanda your hair looks beautiful in the video. Thank you for posting.

As someone who has fine hair, I agree with everything EXCEPT getting layers has helped give me more volume when getting ready, especially when used with a volumizing mousse! 😁

One question, I love the layers that you have in your hair. Hair newbie here: what do you call those layers? Thanks!

I cannot put into words how i feel about my lifeless hair. I am always thinking about it. If there is an event that i must attended my first thought is, how will my hair survive this occasion. Is it outside, is it windy, is it hot. If the event is near the beach i might as well wear a wig. I even find when i am on vacation, different water makes my hair even softer. If i never had to leave my house my hair wouldn’t be so bad. It’s the weather elements that is the biggest enemy. I am constantly on the search for product that will help my hair survive the day. My hair is short. No pulling up for me. I feel when longer it weighs down the root to make it even flatter. I am embarrassed a lot about my hair. If anyone out there has a product that they feel can help, i would be grateful. I try to eat food that will help my hair to be stronger and healthier but that doesn’t seem to help. Thanks for the sounding board. It does help to know you not alone.

AGREED on limiting products in fine thin hair. I was also born with this hair type. My products for different styles, a root lifter, a texturizer or a beach texture spray if I want to air dry, no heat. A powder root lifter works well. They sell with color for those pesky root touchups. Gray hair is another FINE mess. I use a hair topper, people think I'm younger than my age & usually remark, your hair looks great. WORK it GIRLS!

yes born with fine thin hair. Got perms most my life. Quit perming about 15 years ago and starting washing my hair every other day. Day 2 I often used a messy bun from Amazon. My new job gives me Thursdays and Sundays off so have adapted to washing my hair on Mondays and Fridays. I have tried a few different dry shampoos and prefer Dove. I prefer to sleep with a high pony tail. If I leave it down then when I toss and turn I end up pulling on it.

Doing some research for an upcoming vid about my thin, fine hair and volumizing products & found your video. When you opened with the "oil-in-the-hair" issue, I figured you'd choose to wash it again! Me, too. A styling product I really like is the L'Oreal Blow Dry Creme (1/2 tsp before drying). My hair will only hold a curl from a curling iron if I use John Amico's Curling Iron Texturizer spray (a.k.a. "CIT"). (You can call them to ask which salons in your area sell it to avoid paying a shipping fee.) And my favorite hair spray is Matrix's Vavoom spray (and I can stand the scent!). I'm testing some other volumizing products now and hair growth products (I lost more hair in Oct & Nov and it hasn't grown back, like I had any to lose!). :D
