Current Hair Care Routine for Fine/Thin Hair

Hi guys! Today I’m going to be sharing with you my current hair care routine. I’ve been trying a few different things over the past few months and I feel like I’m happy with how my hair has been lately. As you guys know I have very fine and thin hair and this hair care routine has left my hair feeling soft, moisturized and a little more voluminous. Let me know if you’ve tried any of these products and how they have worked for your hair!

I hate hate hate hate hateeeee when salons use the world's smallest comb to brush out the hair after they wash it.... I CAN PHYSICALLY FEEL THE HAIR BEING STRETCHED OUT, THEN SNAGGED ON A KNOT AND THEN SNAPPING / BREAKING OFF! THE ABSOLUTE WORST. 😭😭😭💔💔💔. Glad you hear your hair is back to normal. Here's to long and healthy hair by summer!

[@byerinelizabeth]

Soooooo cringe worthy hahah!! Thank you, let's hope!!

[@juliannal5852]

i went from really thick hair to fine hair so i had to learn all over how to care for it, thanks for the tips!! xx

[@byerinelizabeth]

Same! It's a lot of trial and error lol

[@melo7668]

Same here 😣

[@thecosmogirl171]

Love that you show affordable products! I try the high end crap and I don’t notice a thing LOL

[@byerinelizabeth]

I know eh!? There's tons of awesome drugstore products!

[@pops24x7]

I found the holland and barret shampoo amd conditioner was great. I use the rose water one and omg it's devine! Smells amazing, easy to brush out, and it's supposed to be more natural without lots of silicones and sulphates (I've not re purchased in awhile because I've not had chance to get to the store so hopefully it's still the same when I get more!) but it's super gentle on hair and makes it so easy to brush and manage

[@Emiliapocalypse]

Sometimes I feel like most hair stylists think very fine and thin hair is a myth, or have just never truly experienced it. Until of course they get their fingers in mine and say how it’s like a baby’s hair. (Um, thanks, most babies are born bald, and if not they STILL have more hairs than me...isn’t the point to help me leave feeling prettier rather than uglier?? Think about what you say people!) then they RIP the comb through it, snapping and popping precious strands all the way down, because like I said, fine thin hair is only a myth, all hair can handle rough treatment and the loss of 100 strands or so. So this becomes their personal Mythbusters moment, the only chance they’ll ever get to razor some wispy ratty layers in it, trying to prove something. Good job, you proved my hair is crap. I knew that when I called you. Sometimes I understand why Britney Spears shaved her head. “LAYERS?! In THIS hair?? Let me show you what layers do to my hair” BBZZZZZZZ.....

[@melbell3003]

Omg loved this. This is my life

[@melbell3003]

Last time I went to the hair dresser, the lady tried to tell me my hair was “thinning” and I was trying to tell her it’s been thin and fine my whole life and then she tried to sell me hair extensions. I felt pretty insecure after that. :(

[@d.bcooper4991]

Melbell ugh! How awful! I swear some stylists just want to make people feel worse, or they just throw their bad day out onto their clients! You’d think that a stylist would know the difference between fine hair and hair that is thinning! So sorry about that love! 💕

[@amurisasun7777]

My soul just resonated with this comment hard ngl 🦎

[@ashleyglasser-konecky6557]

Hi Erin, thank you for sharing this story. As a long, fine haired girl I can totally relate to your experience at the hair salon. It has happened to me all too often and is incredibly frustrating. I look forward to trying the products you recommend and I love all of your fine hair tutorials. They give me great ideas of how to work with what I have. Thanks again and keep them coming please:)

[@byerinelizabeth]

Thank you so much for your comment Ashley! It can definitely be hard to find what works!! I feel like I've tried a ton of different things and I'm always trying to be so gentle with my hair.

[@rori9742]

thank you SO SO SO much for this video. i have the EXACT same hair type as you and the exact same problems with hair fall/volume/thinning. thank you so much for sharing, i'd like to try out what you're using and see how it works. i wish you a million good hair days

[@byerinelizabeth]

Ah thank you, you too! Hopefully it works well for you too :)

[@SarahFarris11]

Your hair looks beautiful now. And a good hair salon makes a difference. I found a good place about a year ago, after 5 years in the city. Now we are moving and I want to cry. As a fine hair girl with thin/medium hair, my cut is seems more important than any products than I could use. And she does a great job with color, to boot!

[@byerinelizabeth]

I feel like it's so hard to find the perfect stylist that knows how to work with you hair!

[@ashrafjafari9119]

Thanks 🙏🏻 So so so much for your videos I have just found you and I am very excited about it thanks my hair is really like yours & I now feel more confident about my hair!

[@byerinelizabeth]

Thank you! So happy I could help in any way 😊

[@stephaniemoore2068]

Thank you so much for this video. I've been in denial about my hair being damaged for a few months (handfuls of hair falling out and frizzes within hours). Watching this has prompted me to purchase a new shampoo and conditioner which has made my hair feel so much better. Not the same product but also contains coconut milk

[@byerinelizabeth]

Products definitely make a huge difference! Certain things just don't work and others do depending on hair type :)

[@il_ms]

You look amazing in that sweater! Although I don't have fine or thin hair I still enjoy your videos! You're so right about brushing your hair from root to tip... So bad for you! Always start at the bottom and work your way up. The Costco shampoo and conditioner keeps my hair thick and shiny (the Kirkland line!) It's a dupe of the pureology haircare line. I've turned so many of my family and friends over and they've never looked back. ❤️

[@byerinelizabeth]

Aw thank you! It's sooo bad for your hair to brush from the root, I'm always so gentle at home so that was so cringe worthy for me lol! Costco always has such good products!

[@CrystalStackhouse]

I have a very similar hair texture to you! I’m trying to get my hair healthy by not using any heat tools (which kills my hair!) it’s honestly a viscous cycle cause with fine thin hair people tell you to keep getting VOLUME but that requires heat tools- and then when you go cold turkey you feel like your hair is even thinner and worse not only because it’s flatter than when it’s styled and because of all the breakage and damage. I’m going to track my progress if my hair growth and I’ll probably post something on KZbin (I hope to see results)! I love following you on your hair journey ❤️ Good luck to both us haha 😂💕

[@byerinelizabeth]

Thanks Crystal!! I feel you! I find the thickening spray helps for some volume without the heat!

[@stelz9402]

Crystal Belle Beauty I’m doing the same! Have the same problem

[@JanineZockt]

You are the hair-angel sent from heaven for me! I have not much hair and it is alsy crazy thin. :(

[@stephgordon7734]

Your hair is so pretty! You have more than I do! Wondering if you (or anyone on this thread) ever reverse conditions?? I've heard it's good for fine/thin hair, so thinking of trying it out because my hair gets very dry but weighed down so so easily. Or maybe skip that and just use a light leave in.

[@meganpearl914]

I've been looking for something to fix my hair thanks!

[@vallichenae5383]

Loving your videos~ And OMG the cringe of a hairdresser brushing or combing thin hair out like that is a nightmare @.@ Same thing happened to me where they were trying to use a wet brush and I had to politely tell them no...please use a wide tooth comb and start at the bottom...and it makes a huge difference! And I product I recently started trying is the Oribe Gold Lust line, I TOTALLY recommend it! I know it'a a little bit raved about too much, but it is wonderful for thin hair as it's designed to repair. It's sulfate and cruelty free. A bit expensive but totally worth it for thin hair like ours! I'll have to try some of the products you are using as well!

[@byerinelizabeth]

Sooo cringy haha! Especially for us fine haired girls! Thanks for the recommendations!

[@itatigutierrez7333]

New subscriber ❤️ , i really feel you about thin hair. That’s one thing i don’t like about my body, because it gets flat and people always telling me that i will not have hair when i get older like i am going to be bald🙃🙄, so i usuallyput my hair in a high bun 💔

[@byerinelizabeth]

There's lot's of us girls with thinner hair and it's just as beautiful ❤️If you know what styles you like and what works for you then that's all that matters! :)

[@darthhull85]

I’m a guy with long hair and I’ve had long hair since about 2008. It’s been largely ok for the longest time but lately it’s just been a mess and I haven’t been happy. I’m basic as hell tho. Shampoo and conditioner and done. Oh and I haven’t had a cut or trim in 9 years lol. I’m sure a trim would help me tremendously but I’ve had bad experiences and that’s what led me to growing my hair out. Nervous to have another bad hair experience. Been watching hair videos to see what I can do outside of the basic washing to help and I realized my hair is so long compared to most of these girls. Im 6’3” and my hair is down to my belt. Hopefully I figure it out.

[@someesingson7811]

You make my day 💜💞

[@byerinelizabeth]

You make mine too :)

[@trinitylace1101]

It’s night...lol but thank you I hate my thin hair😢😅😭😥😓I hope this helps...you’re a new KZbinr I’m watching and you’re really nice and sweet🤗

[@byerinelizabeth]

Thank you! xo

[@RosaMRios]

The same thing happened to me with an all natural shampoo that was super expensive my scalp broke out in bumps and was flaky and my hair was extremely dry. I switched to the redken extreme line. Shampoo conditioner and anti snap leave in conditioner and I’m never going back!

[@byerinelizabeth]

It's crazy eh!? II guess sometimes all natural isn't always better! It's all about finding what works for you, and sometimes certain products works amazing for some and not others. Lot's of trial and error lol.

[@julievoussavez8926]

When you go natural it's normal that your hair are dry ect because all the bild up from "normal" cosmectic go out of your hair and you really see what your hair look like. It takes 1 to 2 months for natural cosmetic to show their benefit, it's called "transitioning" ;) But thanks for all your advice :D #lovefromswitzerland

[@byerinelizabeth]

Oh okay, I didn't know that!

[@Lauryou]

I also switched to natural products and the first half of the year it was sooo dry and my scalp was dry af. But now I have really fuller hair. People even told me so :) A good tip for the transitioning is mixing the natural shampoo with water in a small bottle.

[@didemnalcoglu4495]

I use coconut oil. My hair smells great 😍 I also love the products of Pantene 😊 My hair is puffy and has a thick wire structure. it is very time consuming to shape my hair. But it takes shape with such products 😊 Your hair is very nice 😍 great in both color and shape 😍🤗

[@byerinelizabeth]

Aw thank you Didem!

[@wandaamorose9964]

Perfect tips, as my hair is really fine too. I’m going to try that shampoo and conditioner. And why is it that hairdressers, insist on using those really fine tooth combs on your wet hair?!? It is truly brutal!

[@byerinelizabeth]

Omg I have no clue lol! I'm so gentle with my hair at home so that was a nightmare hahah!

[@amyberthod3107]

thank you for u tips.my hair is like yours and Im using Olaplex n3 now and it works ,highly recommend ;-)

[@byerinelizabeth]

I've heard good things about Olaplex!

[@nomie1980]

I’ve used olaplex too & really like it. Expensive tho!! Xx

[@curatedbykirstie]

i know it's not but your sweater and background look fall AF 🍁🍂

[@byerinelizabeth]

haha totally!

[@MegaJansue]

♥

[@AnimalLover-mr5kl]

My hair is like yours. Natural color is a medium brown and straight. I trim my own hair. The salon is too rough and they also cut my hair uneven. It's like they don't know how to handle fine hair. I haven't been to one on about 2 years!

[@byerinelizabeth]

Exactly! I always feel like they're too rough too which is why I'm doing it myself now!

[@carollynch2842]

Do you use a dry shampoo? I have thin hair, but I can’t go a couple days without using dry shampoo if I’m not going to watch it.

[@sethanyrodriguez7482]

I have a question. I stumbled across your channel today. I have the same hair thickness, length, and highlights as you...which is nice to see how things look. But I workout, and I mean sweat dripping from my chin kind of workout. People always tell me to not wash my hair everyday, but how?!? Do you have any thoughts? My stylist, who I love, said, "Wash it and deal with the consequences." But she had a huge mane of hair so I don't think she quite understands. Any advice?

[@sabrinanicoara4797]

I don’t know the science behind dry or frizzy hair but whenever I take my hair out of a braid and brush it, it’s always really frizzy and I’m wondering if that means my hair is dry? It normally doesn’t feel or look dry and it’s only frizzy if I brush it straight out of a braid I’ve worn all day. Can anyone help?

[@belenturiel3380]

could U do a curl tutorial

[@sreeja6282]

I love how white your teeth are! Such eyecatchers 😍

[@Cookwithalook]

Nice

[@user-sn5yz6fh2s]

What nail polish are you wearing? It is such a pretty, yet subtle color!

[@byerinelizabeth]

It's Essie 'Suit and Tied' :)

[@jaymejay1]

her hair is very pretty. is it a layered cut?

[@byerinelizabeth]

I have very long layers! I'm trying to grow it to one length and it's a little more framed around my face :)

[@jaymejay1]

thank you! i like how it frames the face, i want my next cut to be similar

[@sherirx]

I can probably guess what you were using prior to this that made your hair so dry... same thing happened to me. I swear, I feel like I lost half my hair thickness. I will never use that stuff again. 😭

[@byerinelizabeth]

Yeah I don't understand! I've heard you have to use natural shampoos longer to get the benefits but I hated the way my hair felt so I had to stop.

[@sadhbh3285]

everytime I've tried a natural shampoo I get dandruff too! I think it's because they don't lather so they're harder to wash out??

[@byerinelizabeth]

Yeah maybe that's it! I just found it really irritated my scalp!

[@RustySpoons6490]

I need to ask ANYONE who works in (or knows about) the business of hair... WHY do hair stylists/dressers try to use a fine-tooth comb on thin, fine & fragile hair? I really want to know how educated hair professionals think that this is ok. To break a person’s already very weak hair. This happens to me every time, so I have just started to offer to comb my own wet hair with a wide-tooth comb. Usually they don’t mind. Also, I have requested not to have a razor used for layers, but lo and behold, out pops the razor leaving me with feathery, wispy strands of more damaged-looking hair sticking out everywhere. 😒 Someone please help! WTF.... sorry.

[@Lily.valkyrie]

RustySpoons right????

[@nomie1980]

😞😞 can’t get this in the UK as far as I can see. Any other suggestions?? My hair type is just like urs! I’ve got it in good condition, I want to maintain it, want to try some new products! Xx

[@byerinelizabeth]

Oh no that sucks! I've heard a few people recommend Paul Mitchell Products to me ( I haven't personally tried it ). But maybe that's another good option!

[@nomie1980]

Erin Elizabeth thanks Hun. I’ve tried a couple of Paul Mitchell. They are nice. I don’t know if u can get it in the US, but ‘Theorie’ is really good! I find it in TKMaxx over here...not sure where would b ur equivalent?!

[@melbell3003]

Do you use the other products (like age defy and others) only on the days that you wash your hair or every time you get out of the shower?

[@byerinelizabeth]

Only when I wash my hair! ❤️

[@melbell3003]

Thank you for responding! I ended up buying the Age Defy and some coconut detangle spray, and I’m trying to train my hair to not need as many washes. 😭😆 your video helped a lot bc I have fine and thin hair. I’ve noticed it has gotten a lot thinner at the ends, mainly from brushing and blow drying daily.

[@brittanywalker6490]

Her hair is a balayage with babylights I think

[@gianlisam]

My hair is so thin and it is a nightmare! I have to wash my hair once every two days. Do you guys have any suggestion?

[@isabella-vb8jt]

gianlisam whaaaat?!?! You wash it every two days?!?!?! My hair is so thin that if I don’t wash it for one day is LITERALLY GREASE!!! Or maybe it’s the humid weather idk

[@victoria.galvin]

How do you tone your hair?

[@byerinelizabeth]

I haven't toned it in a reallllyy long time, but back when I was full bleach blonde I used the Wella T18 toner :)

[@nehahaha.kothari]

I have fine hair as well 😓 I've been trying the Moroccan oil hair treatment that everyone used to talk about online. It does make my hair soft and shiny but in a few days my hair feels stiff and waxy. Gross. But it's so expensive, I had to make it work 🙈 Which brand did you use before that didn't suit you?

[@byerinelizabeth]

Yeah I've seen a lot of the Moroccan oil craze too, I wonder if it may be too thick/heavy for finer hair! I can't remember the brand I got, it was something all natural with rosemary and plant extracts lol

[@nehahaha.kothari]

Erin Elizabeth haha. Yes, it's definitely not an everyday serum for finer hair, but great as an after-shampoo leave-in serum. :)

[@jeolynbeaute7817]

what is ur hair color? i love them

[@byerinelizabeth]

Not sure the exact colour, I was a platinum ash blonde and then let it grow out so it's more ombre/balayage now!

[@ldg44]

If you still haven't found the perfect salon, you should check out le petit salon on Elgin. Bailey is AMAZING at colour / Tiana and Jesse are great for cuts and styling. Going there is my first priority when I fly home from Edmonton 💚

[@byerinelizabeth]

Ah yes I've seen that spot! Looks really cute! May have to try them out. Typically I see someone from her home and every time I go somewhere new I regret it lol

[@atrayeeroy8698]

Is it your natural hair colour??

[@byerinelizabeth]

The darker brown is :)

[@casper6642]

Anyone else think she has simalair hair like annie leblanc

[@jianju4916]

For a moment I thought this was a video from Erin Elizabeth, Dr. Mercola's wife.

[@gina1784]

I'm shedding like a dog right now ugggg!

[@virtudiaries1525]

I don't know what natural hair product you used. Sorry your hair was ruined. I also have fine hair plus salt and pepper so prone to breakage. I use Yarok Volume shampoo and conditioner which has coconut oil and my hair loves it. Been using for months and have very little fall out in the shower. I don't use any SLS or dimethicone in my hair products. I also use the hair dryer very little likewise with the straightener/curling iron. My hair dresser specializes in helping rebuild fine/damaged/broken hair to healthy volume. He says whatever I am doing is working.

[@byerinelizabeth]

Amazing! Thank you for the tips

[@donnaallen2207]

If someone started to brush my thin hair from top to bottom, I'd tell them to stop right away.

[@jercabrezar2862]

lmao ppl in the comments complaining about how they had thick hair and then they good thin, here is me who has naturally thin hair and getting bullied for it, noice
