This is one of those core memories I would think about every day of my life... Got at least 30 years later 😂 I was smoking pot many years ago. I was with a good friend and we were enveloped in the deepest thought provoking discussions. He said something profound and I was stoned so I just said "Life is short". With the most serious expression, he looks me in my eyes, then at his shorts, and with a straight face back at me to say, "Thank you. had em forever."

As a person with fine and thin hair, I can say all of this is true. Vitamin deficiency is a main reason for falling hair. Never overlook your nutrition.

@dmweisbr

Nutrition is important, for sure. But even the best nutrition won’t stop hair loss due to aging. Anyone losing hair should get help from a dermatologist to determine the cause. Some causes can be easily treated, others take more extreme measures. But if you don’t know what’s causing it, you could waste a lot of time and money on treatments that won’t help.

My Hair was falling out in handfuls after shampooing just once with K18 daily shampoo. It was scary so I asked Mr Google for help and found a mixture, can't remember the recipe but it was with onion juice. It stopped my hair falling out after a couple of weeks phew, but left my hair even thinner than normal. So I began taking Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2 plus massaging my scalp morning and night for a minute or so. The difference one year on is unbelievable everyone now tells me how my, normally thin hair, is thick!!

I have taken Castor Oil Capsules for years and my hair shines and is really strong and my skin has always been very clear and smooth. At a recent hospital clinic the female consultant actually asked me how my skin and hair look so good and said both were better than many young women she sees . Castor oil capsules treat from inside . They also keep eyelashes growing thick and healthy and lips full and smooth , and nails very strong and healthy . They aren't expensive to buy . So go on , everyone and try those capsules .Within about 2 weeks you'll see a massive change .

Sleeping on pure 100 percent silk pillow cases really help fine hair too as hair just slides over the silk really helped me

The distinction between thin and fine is much appreciated. I have thin coarse (a'la Mediterranean) hair. I have trouble finding advice for thin coarse hair and would greatly appreciate if you could make a video if the advice is different. Your positivity and supportive "do what makes you feel confident" perspective is refreshing.

Thank you for this! Years ago I wore my hair in a shag cut and absolutely loved it. It worked great for my fine wavy hair. Over the years, I tried other trendy hairstyles like the super stacked bob and it just never looked right. I'm going to see my hairstylist tomorrow and I'm going to ask her to give me the shag again.

As always, thank you for the informative video. I have long, fine and thin-ish hair that has been colored. I did go darker and it does look thicker but I still struggle with volume. Any product recommendations for volume for long hair would be appreciated. ❤. Thanks!!!

Thank you, great advice. Love your channel.

I watched another video that said that for fine hair you should use a bit of conditioner on your roots, but it should be a VOLUMIZING conditioner because they’re lighter, and you can put a slightly heavier conditioner on the ends too if you feel you need to

This makes so much sense. My MIL has fine and thin hair and she recently got it cut with all over white blonde and it looks so sparse, this explains why. Before she had some natural grow out and it looked awesome, dimension does a lot

I'm glad that you are teaching about this Justin. There is much misconception about fine and thin hair. I think about it in terms of a forest that has skinny trees( fine hair). A forest with a lot of skinny trees looks full (thick hair). A forest with not many skinny trees looks thin (thin hair). I learned that my hair is baby fine, but thankfully I have a lot of it. I feel for the people that have fine and thin hair. So much harder to work with than just fine hair. A very common cause of thinning hair is thyroid issues.

Many thanks for this. 💕For sure there are challenges with fine hair and more so as you get older when it tends to thin …me …but aside from the right hair products I’ve always had the best and at times amazing results with hairdressers that know how to do a ‘precision cut’ for your hair … especially for short fine hair. They are usually but not always in higher end salons. For example in Vancouver Canada I used to go to Suki’s salon many years ago … and got the best of both cuts and colour recommendations. Made all the difference. Don’t under estimate a ‘good cut’ suited to not only your hair type but also your facial features!😍 A good talented/trained hairdresser will know what works best for you/your hair.

Yep, I knew the difference, but thanks! I have thinning, fine strand hair. It’s a challenge! You just have to appreciate what you have! Merry Christmas!! 🎄🎁

Thanks, good advice. ???? I got a perm in my hair for curl, but all in does is frizz up.

Thank you! My hair is fine but there is a ton of it. I’ve had many stylists not know what to do with it. It’s a relief to hear a stylist who knows the difference well.

I thought when my silky fine hair turned grey/silver/pewter/steel/white, I'd have more body. Didn't happen. I rarely use conditioner because I don't need it. I'm tired of it being halfway down my back. After the first of the year when things calm down, I'm going back to above-the-shoulder length. Having it this long helps nothing. It's usually piled on my head or in a ponytail anyway. New year, new look. 😊

Over this past year, I've noticed that my hair has gotten so thin, you can see my scalp very easily! I have curly hair, too. I am going to go to my dermatologist soon for help. I have several autoimmune diseases and on a chemo type drug for my lupus, along with other meds too. Two of my doctors recently told me i needed to go to a dermatologist and start using Rogaine. Would love to hear what you think about those products.

What brand of volume booster or product to apply to roots for lift would you suggest. And like most of us, something that can be purchased at say, Target or similar stores. TY! Love your video! I’m a fine hair plus thin, so any suggestions would be appreciated!

So true! I do get lowlights and never put conditioner on roots it does help. I’ve also started taken vitamins which help

I already knew my hair is fine, not thin…but the information you gave about the different dimensions in color is GOLD. Thank you ❤, btw, I already have high lights but this makes me to continue learning 🌸.

@justinhickox

4 ай бұрын

That's awesome! I'm so glad I could help! Another thought is to actually add lowlights that are only about a shade darker than your natural hair color. This will make the highlites pop even more and add even more dimension at the same time. They would be applied at the same time as the highlites. You're just adding another color to the process.

A few things that have helped my fine hair grow in better and appear more dense: 1. Never brush/comb when it’s wet because fine hair is more breakable when it’s wet. My hair is straight so this is easy for me to accomplish and I only brush after it’s dry. Not sure if you can do this with curly hair. 2. Before showering, I hang my hair upside down to make the blood rush to my scalp and do a scalp massage with the help of my paddle brush that has air in it so it gives a little bit when I press it on my scalp. I do it before my shower so my hair doesn’t get oily from the massage. 3. I stopped using tight ponytails to stop the tension breakage occurring at my temples. This tension breakage made my hair look like it’s thinning around my temples. 4. Use high quality leave in conditioner after I get out of the shower when my hair has been towel-dried (but not too much or it will look oily). 5. Use a little hair oil on the very ends after applying the leave-in conditioner. I like the brand OUAI from ULTA because it doesn’t make my hair look oily).

@duncanmacleod7287

Tight ponytails don't just cause tension breakage they can straight out cause traction alopecia. So your hair wasn't just looking like it was thinning around the temples, it probably was. Over a long enough period you'd eventually lose the hair in those areas.

Couple that with a few episodes of the C-19, and several years of bathing in very hard water and I was shook. I altered my diet, stopped coloring and washing my hair daily. I upgraded my hair products, always do a double cleanse (2x/week) and got a shower filter. I'm 2B wavy, with shoulder length light brown hair. I'm a mousse gal for volume and preserving my waves. I used "volumizing" shampoo and condition for years not realizing how stripping it was. The gray is texturally different and loves moisture. I never condition the roots and my hair seems to love squalene. I often use a hair mask for conditioner on mids-ends. My scalp still gets oily after 3 days. I "pineapple" in a silk scrunchie at night and don't brush. Claw clips are my choice over hair bands and I do minimal heat styling, diffusing only at the root. I treat my hair like a precious commodity and it looks so much healthier than it did 5 years ago. Thank you for the great tips Justin.

Turn head upside down & finger fluff as you blow dry; 7) section off & spray dry shampoo just at the roots immediately after you blow dry your shampooed hair; and 8) do a final rinse with cold water, as cold as you can stand it. You will be amazed at how much cleaner and fluffier your hair stays for a lot longer!

Gross. As soon as I got home the first thing I did was wash my hair. I decided that I would buy one of those turban style head covers and fold it up and tuck it into my purse.

She explains it all really well & in fact she does have some layering but only involving the hair growing from the top of her head. I think her advice would work for straight or curly hair. Mine is curly & her tips in that video plus her follow up video (where she trims it herself) are working well for me and are easy to explain to a stylist too.

I live 20 minutes from PDX. Have not colored my hair in 10 years. Blonde and gray. Silver strands. Was thinking about lowlights.

How do I determine what low or high are needed?

Great explanation of fine versus thin hair!

I have fine hair 👍🏻but I also have thin hair at the front ,for instance I wear a fringe instead of a quaff to the side ,if that makes sense & always been this way.I put streaks in the front & I’m happy with it but I’m not happy that I have to do my roots once a month 😣great video Justin 🎅🎄🇺🇸🇬🇧

As someone with very fine hair, I stopped coloring my hair over a decade ago. It damages my fine hair so that it also gets thin! My hair is still fine but much fuller and healthier than when I colored it. Maybe mine's just delicate, but I think coloring my fine hair would actually work against wanting a fuller look since it falls out much more after a color treatment.

I did the same. But started dying my hair with henna (and other herbs mixed in). My hair looks pretty good, especially with my white hairs looking like highlights through the henna.

So I had beautiful natural greige hair as it started to gray. As I started going more white, it started to bother me got it colored blonde and it’s never been the same health wise. Any ideas on natural blonde coloring? I tried chamomile tea and not much difference

I'll be honest I am kind of missing a "few" tips in your video ! I have fine, and now also thinning hair, here are the tips that made a difference for me : - have a good brush : go for a flat boarbristle one. Synthetic fibers, plastic and bamboo ones damage fine hair. When I use one I litteraly hear my hair breaking. Also, boar bristles provide a bit of scalp massage that stimulates the folicles, and then help distribute the oil to the lengths. - do NOT use conditioner : honestly "even just the ends" weighs down the hair in a significant manner. - use oil... before : fine hair never gets dirty enough (oil is not dirt!), so most shampoos strip down the hair and scalp, and chaos ensues. If you treat you hair with oil before washing, when you wash your roots, it remains gentle since it grabs the oil first, and since you do not shampoo your ends, they retain enough oil to be nourished. Jojoba oil is all around good, and castor oil (not pure!) is great if you have thinning hair - use heat protectant : protects your hair from frying, game changer for fine hair! From a fine hair beggar who did not have internet growing up, and went through many trials and errors

Love your videos. What shampoo to use for thin and oily hair?

How about oil drops or leave in in conditioners ??? How about brushing hair to distribute the oil in the scalp and keep it cleaner and shiny and less itchy ? Should this be reserved to any other hair type that is not necessarily thinning? Don’t we ALL thin hair as we age ? Doesn’t hair becomes finer because of loosing pigment cells in the follicles and so our hair does not contain as much melanin? A lot of stylists like to apply oil drops or mist to make it look shinny and control frizz!! Thank you !! ❤❤❤

Thank you so much for your videos. Can you do a video about hair Botox and hair Keratin how good or bad for the hair can be.

Great tips. I have always put conditioner on my roots and I have very fine hair and it doesn’t feel like I have much of it. A ponytail for me is less than the circumference of a dime. Basically the same amount of ponytail as a toddler. Lol

Thank you for this! Mine is fine and thin, and it has always been long. I grew up watching Paula and Carol on the Magic Garden, and watching Crystal Gayle and Cher, so I just always needed my long brown hair 😂 I do not color it and have very little grey (braaag) I am curious about your thoughts on collagen supplements to also help out. Thanks!

Love this! favorite part...."Very little grey (braaaag)" LOL!!! Well played! I wish I could say the same at times! LOL. Collagen supplements can help with growth speed but, as far as I have learned, not with thickness. With that said, even for speed, you still want to make sure you do your research on the brand as there are good and bad products out there. I take one from Vital Proteins (their collagen peptides) and I love it. This is it here: amzn.to/3thR4xQ

Thank you! Yes, lots of thin hair can be a challenge. People expect your hair to be light and have lots of volume because it's fine in texture but it can be REALLY hard to get volume in. I plan on making a lot more content around fine/thin hair in 2024. What are your biggest questions?

​@@justinhickoxthank you for saying you'll make more videos about fine hair. Please cover people who have Seborrhea and can't use any oils or styling products on their head. (Also any products just make my hair look dirty and don't hold volume for more than several minutes. ) Also because my hair is literally baby fine, a braid is miniscule, and clips etc simply fall off. I dislike short hair (ie, pixie on me), it looks like I have no hair. I wear my hair around my shoulders as a compromise. What are good styles for fine hair at this length? Please also cover henna on hair.

@Lili-xq9sn I have fine hair and have been colouring with natural henna and indigo for a number of years, due to severe allergy. According to the literature, these natural dyes coat your hair (rather than penetrating the shaft), so they make your hair stronger and thicker. That might be true, but you have to make sure that the henna mix doesn't dry out on your hair, like clay, because that will pull your hair out when you rinse out the henna. Also, make sure that you are gentle when rinsing out the henna because the mix is much thicker than chemical dyes - it's like mud! I have to break the rules on dying with henna and for thin hair - I use a lot of conditioner after rinsing out the hemma because my hair is very tangled and it feels really soft, so I feel it's in danger of being pulled out if I don't use lots of conditioner. However, it's fine by the next time I wash it a couple of days later. I do lose more hair when dying than I do when just washing, but it isn't excessive. Perhaps it's how I'm going about it. Having said all this, my hairdresser is always impressed with both the colour and the condition of my hair. I think that the henna is much better for it than harsh chemicals. I leave the dye on for hours. I wash my hair, then apply the henna mix when it is just damp (any wetter and you'll have henna running down your face!), wrap it in either a plastic cap or cling film, then in a warm turbi towel to help it work. One good thing about henna and indigo is that they don't dye different colour hair uniformly, so my greys look like highlights. Read lots of literature about it (I recommend "It's Pure") so that you can avoid any of the common mistakes. The only thing that I've ever done wrong is falling asleep with a darker mix than usual over all my hair (instead of just the roots) and having a much darker chestnut than I wanted. You can't lighten naturally dyed hair, so lucky it looked nice!

@@miaschu8175 Thank you so much for writing this for me! It's very helpful. A couple of questions: What brand exactly is the "indigo" and What brand of henna do you use?

I have fine hair but not thin hair; however, my blessing and curse is that it has wave/curl. The wave/curl keeps it from laying flat on my head and looking thin but the frizz is horrible. If I use products and flat iron it will make it smooth but looks thin unless cut in a shorter chin length bob (which I do not want any more). Is my only option learning how to use a diffuser and play up my frizz into curls? Any suggestions appreciated.

Thank you Sir ❤

So full of useful info…thank you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! Again another great informational video. I really liked the tip on how to get conditioner to only the ends of shorter hair!! Question for you: If touching your hair makes it dirty and weighed down (which makes sense!) why and how does hair that hasn't been washed for a day or so hold a style longer/better?? Thanks again, always enjoy and learn from your videos!!!!

Thank you! Glad I can help! That's a great question. You're spot on and I don't know the exact answer but I want to look deeper into that now. My intuition would tell me it depends on the amount of oil your skin produces in a combination of the product one would use for volume as well as the overall condition of an individuals hair. Stimulating the scalp can stimulate the sebaceous glands which produce oil and could weigh hair down, where as most volumizing products add the dirty feeling without the heavy oils. So one part of the answer could be that the feeling you have of dirty hair comes from the product which has less oils therefore its a different kind of "dirty". Not sure of that makes sense.

I have fine and thin hair, peppered throughout with gray with a big grey streak in the front. I always wear it up because down looks so horrible.

My Hair is thinning but its fine. I've had Thyroid Cancer and now am in Post Menopausal stage. I've thinned in the receedibg like like a man. I'd like to color my hair in highlights and low lights to see if it discusses the area where my hairs completely fallen out. Not sure what to do to correct it. Any Suggestions?

Any suggestions on easy ways to highlight my hair at home? I inherited very fine hair, which is darkish brown, chin length, and curly. I'd prefer to add additional brown colors. The scheme that's so popular now - with blonde or light brown hair and darker color applied at the roots - doesn't work for me. Thanks millions for all your help!

Hey, new subscriber here. I really appreciated this video. I know that I have fine hair. It tends to be very silky, and I cover my hair at night in a silk scarf, but my question is: I have trouble with the crown of my head seemingly able to naturally fall into a few parts, no matter how many times I brush it out. I don't tease my hair, and even using rollers doesn't seem to keep my hair from falling into that natural part. What can I do for hair that falls into natural parts, especially at the crown? Can they do a transplant into those little areas? Thanks.😊

My hair is fine and I have alot of it. I find adding conditioner to the roots, gives the hair more moisture and therefore the volumizing products will absorb into the roots better instead of dry roots. I hope this make sense. Plus you can grab it better at the roots with a blow dryer brush if it is more moisturized.

I have the same hair. Fine with alot of it! I do this too. Dry roots create different textures on me and frizz and flatten the top.

Yes! My hairdresser said I had thin hair but a lot of it. 😊…. Or maybe it was the other way around. …. A lot of it but not thick.

Such great info. I think I use “thin” and “fine” interchangeably. After watching this, I believe my hair is fine, which - duh - my stylist has been saying for years. I should probably listen to him more. 😮

Any thoughts about hard water. If you’ve ever seen the build up it can cause in the dishwasher or on the shower head, ice maker etc. it’s so hard to get off. I feel like some of my fine thin hair problems are from hard water clogging my follicles. Am I correct?
