I agree about "volumizing" shampoos and conditioners. I used Redkin Volume Injection shampoo and conditioner that was recommended for fine hair by a different KZbinr and my hair was never so dry, flyaway, and static clingy! I wasn't sure it was the shampoo and conditioner at first, so I had to stop using each product I was using (a super time-consuming and aggravating experience!) until I finally figured out it was them. Also, the shampoo has salicylic acid in it, which is an ingredient in acne medications that causes the skin to dry and peel (exfoliate) and that I have a sensitivity to. No wonder my scalp was so itchy!!

*Volumizing Shampoo & Hard Water* . I used volumizing shampoos under very hard water conditions for years, the combo wreaked absolute havoc on my hair. My mids and ends were dry, dull and breakage prone. Adding a shower filter and switching to professional shampoo and conditioner has made a huge difference. I wear my hair wavy and typically only diffuse at the roots.

My hair is fine and thin and if I don’t wash my hair every other day, my scalp gets itchy and my hair starts to shed. I also need heat to make sure the structure of my frizzy, slightly kinky hair lays smoothly. My hair is not being damaged more from using heat tools! Whoever made up this myth never studied hair structure and never quantified what temp was actually going to destroy fine hair. Using a moderate heat, I get the results I need!

I’m 65. Used to have extremely thick, coarse,curly hair. It has thinned but is still coarse and curly. I fell into the heat-is-bad-for-my-thin-hair thinking, until a stylist I found 4 years ago told me with my hair texture, I need to use a flat iron on maximum heat. She was right! When I leave the salon after a cut, my hair is so shiny with lots of movement. She would finish my hair with a flat iron on maximum heat. When I adopted this practice, my hair is so soft and shiny, with lots of movement. My style also lasts, which means I’m only using my flat iron once or twice a week. The heat is required to seal the cuticle.

I was about 70% gray then, and I'm around 80% gray, now. I'm 55. I usually put a little Manic Panic professional gel color in my conditioner. It adds just a hint of color (pink or lavender) to keep my hair from looking like cotton fluff (super fine and curly - very curly).

I would love to see a video on how to help refresh a style on day 2 hair. I can go to day 3 before my hair really needs to be shampooed, but on day 2 I have either a bit of frizz, some wonky waves, curls or flips from sleeping on it. I try to limit using heat tools on it between shampoos, but would like to hear your thoughts on refreshing the style without causing too much damage. I use a leave in conditioner that has heat protection when I style after washing. I know I need to reapply heat protection if I am restyling, but am never sure how much to apply, and whether I need to let that dry before applying the dryer, curling iron, or flat iré on. I have fine, wavy hair. I used to have a lot of hair, bit that is changing post menopause. On wash day I struggle with rough drying to 80% because that then causes frizz. But I do use a microfiber towel to really get as much moisture out before I start using the blow dryer.

Thank you. I have had fine, thin, straight hair all my life. It was easier to style it when young as it had more flexability than it does now. Since Covid, I lost lots of hair and still seem to lose more than I'd like. I dont like short hair on myself and its too fine and thin for long hair, besides im old now. Im 68 and just beginning to see some gray strands. Everyone always says, it's too silky, you have to damage your hair to be able to do anything with it. I think to myself, they sell all these products to correct damage, yet I'm told I need to damage it. Thank you for agreeing with me. Damaging hair would only make it worse. The way to not have damaged hair like mine is to keep it trimmed. I can't use conditioner, it weighs it down too much, even if just used on the tips, i really dont need it. I don't have oily hair, yet my own oils condition my hair if not washed too often. I use volumizing or thickening shampoo and do not wash it but a couple times a week, sometimes less, It depends what I'm doing, where I'm going, and on the climate. If it feels dirty, i wash it. Yes its true, after awhile products can seem to build up. I do use a max hold hairspray to keep hair out of my eyes as its thiner at the hairline and falls in my face and looks unkept. I use heat to dry my hair, upside down, but it doesn't take but a couple minutes to dry. I haven't had much style my whole life as it's been about impossible. Many have not known how to handle hair like mine. True story, think only one person seemed to get it and she retired long ago. I dont take meds and am not good with hair, so I don't mess with it much. Love your videos.

I stopped coloring/bleaching about 5 years ago. That helped A LOT. I not only have thin, fine hair, but I have a scar (kicked by a horse) also some alopecia (my daddy deployed to Vietnam when I was two-very stressful) So, I wash my hair every third day, and stretch it with dry shampoo whenever I can. I use a conditioner only on the ends, and use a heat protector. I scrunch and use a diffuser. (This is the part where I unabashedly promote the Laifen hair dryer-not sponsored.) That was absolutely the best purchase I have ever made. I do use some hairspray, and can use a few spritzes of water the next day or to to bring the wave/curl back to life.

What you say makes sense actually. I’ve had times where mine looked healthier and more put together with heat . It’s hard having fine , flat hair . Mine gets stringy and tangles so easily. I can brush my hair and it will look so gorgeous. And then within 30 minutes, it is a stringy, tangled mess. Sometimes when I flat iron it or put some sort of style in it, the stringiness is much less noticeable. At least I have natural highlights from the sun because I work outside and when it gets stringy , the highlights show more. 🤣🤣

It was just not my hair anymore. Very depressing, I have to have it wet or it will not blow out and get all that freeze out. I am just at the point of crying today. I got a haircut and she just made a mess out of it. It really looked pretty about six months ago. I don’t know what happened every time I go it looks different. I’ve tried so many hairdressers and they do not know what they’re doing, always neat and it was so important to me. I have always been very conscious about how I look. I was very tiny and still am of course the weight has shifted which is natural with age. I had a Revlon hairdryer which I used for eight years and then it decided to break I really liked it and I forgot to write down the style and I cannot, find one that doing like it should the air is too hot and I don’t like that on my hair but I have to have heat. I also have to use some gel. The curl that I have is around the sides and some in the back but flat on top no one wants that, but I don’t want to put perm in my fragile hair plus I do have a little bit of dermatitis so I can’t win for losing. I saw the expensive hairdryer, how do they work? I’ve ordered two more Revlon and I’m sending them back to Amazon and they just get too hot. I just don’t know what to do. I’m at my wits and I’m just having a bad day. I’ll just give anything if you could come see me and take care of my hair.😢 where do you live? I can’t travel because I have chronic back problems so it’s just one thing after another. I had her cut back a little shorter and whatever she did I did have a Bob. It is now a mess. The sides are crooked. The back has some long some short and I just bragged about how good she was and then all of a sudden it all changed. I live in West Columbia, South Carolina. I would love just love to have a makeover. Nothing would make me happier. I can’t go out. I can’t shower.

I have long curly hair that is also fairly thin, which is masked by the optical illusion of the curls. I have been trying over the last 1-2 years to improve my hair thickness and get it to grow longer( faster than I have to trim the ends, lol) and have had great success with collagen and glucosamine/ chondroitin supplements and the baking soda scrubs I do 1 or 2 times a month! I just keep a little jar of baking soda by the shower, grab some in one hand and shampoo in the other, mash them together and wash my hair with it! Be careful on the ends where it's fragile or skip them. Concentrate on the scalp, exfoliating the scalp will absolutely encourage new hair growth because you're unblocking the follicle. I didn't realize how powerful this really was until one of my clients( I'm a dog groomer) started essentially exfoliating her Pom with a slicker brush every day, and all the hair she'd lost( which was MOST of it😳) ALL GREW BACK!!!! In 3 months! I was STUNNED! Groomers see double coated breeds all the time that never grow hair back right after being shaved or get patchy n thin as they age, and there's never been a solution for this, even from the vets- well hallelujah, THAT was the solution! Exfoliation!!! Getting all that dead skin, dirt, oil, etc off the hair follicles and the the hair starts growing! So I started exfoliating with the baking soda( which my hair dresser had suggested to pull the product buildup off my hair) and I saw a HUGE difference! After 6 months, my hair had grown 3 times the rate that it had been growing! You just have to be diligent after the baking soda wash and shampoo it a couple times with a moisturizing shampoo and use a really good conditioner ( I use Its a 10 Mask) because the baking soda will dry it out. The other thing that works wonders is coconut oil! Again, I had a client with a poodle that lost ALL his hair down BOTH sides of his body- I mean BALD! She dpent a couple grand at 4 different vets and he was still bald. This was over about 1-2 years. Then she decided to start giving him coconut oil( feeding) and rubbing it into his skin, like a hot oil treatment. Not only did all his hair grow back, it was 3 times as thick as the rest of it and DARK! He was a chocolate color, but super faded from age, but the new growth was REALLY deep chocolate!!! It was crazy how well it worked! I had my 80 year old mom start doing it and it helped her too!😂❤❤❤

I use those long aluminum hair clips after shampoo and form curls but not too many. That way frizz is way down and the hair is smoother and curled after drying. I only wash hair now about every week so I have free weekend time to do it (if you have a job).

Thanks for the request. I don't encourage women to cut their hair short. I consult women on what they want, their lifestyle, time to style, etc, and make some recommendations based on that....whether they decide they want to keep it long or go short. I recently did a video on cuts for long hair.

Heat is not the devil as everyone thinks. People think this because in the past they were often taught bad practices or they didn't know how to use tools properly so hair got very damaged. These days we know how to better care for hair, and using heat RESPONSIBLY is not only ok, it is often better for hair styling as you have pointed out. Temperature, heat protectant, proper technique, and proper hair care are the keys to not damaging hair with hot tools and blow dryers 💇♀💇♂

I have both thin and fine hair. I wash my hair once a week before washing. Before I shampoo I will comb/brush it. I usually wear it in a messy ponytail for work...I know hair ties can break your hair. Obviously I'm not using product or heat. But I do bleach it about 3 or 4 times a year to accommodate my use of semi permanent "bright" colors, see my profile pic for example. I do deep conditioning treatments regularly so as to minimize the damage from 8:40 8:40 8:40 8:40 bleach. Even without the added damage my hair has always had the ability to create tangles almost as soon as I brush them out. Even tho I use conditioner. And yes I only brush my hair dry and I use either my detangler comb (wide spaced curved tynes that alternate) or my oval shaped paddle type brush. I've been taking care of my hair for about 50yrs so I learned long ago to start at the bottom and work my way up. Now that we have covered all the bases what I'm wondering is if it is better to brush my hair daily or not. Sometimes I think that I'm brushing out more hair doing it daily rather than weekly. Basically I want to know the pros and cons of each practice. Appreciate your advice. Also I enjoy your videos because you do a lot about thin fine hair. ❤❤

As always great video, and I loved the last comment about the highway! That definitely makes sense to me, and helped me to reconsider what I do and don't do to limit damage to my rather thin and fragile hair. By the way, (my apologies for not checking beforehand if this has already been addressed in any of your videos) do you know if a healthy whole food plant based diet has negative impact on hair? While the rest of my health is much better since eating this way (and it also is my preferred way for etical and ecological reasons), my hair seems to worsen (breaking more, thinner, more white hairs) lately. Of course I'm also not getting younger, have thyroid issues and have struggled with mental health lately.......so food is maybe the last reason, still I wonder.

I am surprised people don’t know the things you talk about. It’s pretty simple. One thing I never do is put any heat protector that contain alcohol. Oribe has a great one. The only product I use that has alcohol is my hairspray, to hold my style. One of the best products I have used for texture and volume is Lange Thicket and Osis Hair Dust. Glass Hair also by Lange for frizz is amazing!!

I agree! I have fine thin hair and have used some of your techniques for years. HOWEVER, I'm now 80 and had a severe anemia situation that landed me in the hospital. My hair took a BIG hit. Although I have fine hair, I used to have lots of it. I think I only have half my hair now and it doesn't seem to be coming back with iron supplements. I'm adding a couple of new techniques from your videos. Thank you. I really enjoy the honesty in your videos. If I didn't live in the Arctic Chicagoland area, I'd be beating a path to your shop.

My hair is fairly naturally curly but is difficult to manage like that, so I get my hair done every week to save time. It's done in 1 hour. My hair is a few inches past the shoulder. I ask her to use medium blow dryer heat, 1" curling iron on 300 and use a good humidity resistant shower cap from Amazon to retain curls during humidity and get out of the humid bathroom. I also take my own products: Matrix Biolage Hydrasource shampoo, Matrix Biolage Conditioning Balm, Hydrasource Leave-in conditioner, Heat Protectant, It's a 10 Styling Serum and oil on the ends. These curls last for 2-4 days depending on when I brush them out. I also use a Wet Brush to minimize breakage and that helps a LOT.

My understanding was that thickening products add a layer of said product(s) on the hair to make it feel thicker. Also, if a person has a set number of hair follicles, how can thickening products make more hair grow? Wouldn't you need more follicles for that? If my understanding doesn't fail me, the rate at which hair grows depends on factors like age, genetics, hormones, diets, etc.. How would thickening products make hair grow faster?

My hairdresser always comments on the beautiful condition of my hair. I rarely use heat and I air-dry my hair as much as possible. The most I wash my hair is every other day, sometimes much less. I also will just wash the hair framing my face if the lengths still feel clean. Although, needless to say really, I need to wash it more often in the summer. Lastly, I'm severely allergic to chemical dyes, so I use natural henna and indigo. The colour is a lovely natural auburn/chestnut (depending on ratio) and it's good for my hair and scalp. I'm not good at styling my hair, so I need a good cut so that it falls nicely. (I'm lucky to have fine straight hair for that, not so much for when I want curls etc.)

As a liscensed stylist....i have very thin fine hair. I wash my hair everyday, i have to. I have way to oily of scalp. I find i would lose hair if i didnt wash it....but everyones hair is different. I lighten my hair every three weeks(i have platinum blonde hair) i am very careful. I never apply lightener to alreadyy lighten area, meaning i do my highlights with only painting the roots carefully...most people think my hair is thick, because i mastered the styling. I reccomend heat and i like it hot! I do like the tourmaline, ect dryers. They give fullness. Another tip, do not over brush your hair when its thin,it only flattens it. I do keep my hair length right below my chin. I love dry shamppo, but i useit as a styling aide, never as a shampoo. It gives my hair fluff and thickness and some hairspray, with a tad of spray shine( helps detangle, but just a tiny bit, in the spray form) i have to say my blonde hair is very healthy and shiny looking(even without spray shine) i brush carefully when wet...take care of it....i baby it😊

I use niacinamide meant for skincare on my scalp. It cuts the oil production on my very fine oily hair. I also use willow bark products from Germany for this. Bleach ruins my delicate hair so I keep my natural colour and use curl cream to encourage my slight natural wave, also have very short bangs I love that cuts away the front thin perimeter and makes it look much thicker. The rest is long. Love it.

@greenknitter your hair is a different texture than mine....I can tell by your description of your hair. I've been a stylist for 28 yrs. Not to many people have hair like mine. It sucks...literally! But I learned early how to maximize it! I can see where products which u mentioned would help with wavy hair. I need a little damage to change the texture of my hair, but still have it healthy enough where, I can maintain shine(which is difficult on blonde hair) and keep it attached to my head😁. I can't play around with color(like, going back and forth from blonde to brown, ect on mine), like others, buts that's OK. I look best with my hair just below my chin or a pixie( also the older u get, at least for my face, keeping it short , gives the appearance ofl lifting it upward) I feel more youthful at 47! I have always had a style to my hair! I'm not a wash and go, with flat hair, kind of girl😄 I love, makeup, good fashion, and stylish hair....sometimes I wish I was just a plain jane🤣

@justinhickox10 ай бұрын
You’re absolutely correct. It depends on a few factors (product, oil production, climate etc) but hair is like a metal. Heat it up and it becomes pliable, cool it down and it locks itself into shape. If you have a good foundation of the right product, heat it up and give it bend, then lock that bend in by cooling it down. You’ve got a solid shape. After that, keep the oil out of the scalp and your hair out of humidity, it’ll last longer (as you’re seeing).

So i style using wet curls and that way i can avoid using heat. My hair is also fine and thin so it drys super quick. Throw a couple of curls in after i get up or after a shower by the time i've had breakfast they're dry, ready to be taken out and i'm good to go all day. You have to get used to creating the pin curls to get the right end result but its worth it to avoid the heat damage. - My hair is shorter now but when it was longer i just slept in the curls

This is a great question and honestly, I don’t have an answer. I’ll need to look deeper into it. Generally speaking, material has to do with how evenly it can conduct heat.

The best thing I ever did for my very fine hair was cut baby bangs and leave the rest long and naturally wavy. It disguises a slightly thinning menopausal hairline, quite high forehead and thin front perimeter of hair, and suits my artistic nature. Cutting that hair so short makes it the thickest it can be. Shampoo and conditioner for aging or oily hair is what I use, never volumising which never works anyway for me. It takes 5 minutes to blow dry with a heat protectant and curl cream, then some oil on the ends when dry and that's it. Best hair I've ever had at 56.
