Dealing With Fine Hair

RE: Dealing With Fine Hair Post By Lacey (Guest Post) (11/23/2008) I am very young and I'm constantly getting frustrated with my thin fine hair. I love to have layers but I always find once I've slept on it after the hairdressers it always goes wispy and dull. I'd also love to dye it but will this make my hair fall out? And can anyone recommend shampoo/conditioner to thicken hair?

Does anyone know where I can purchase this product?

For me its best to keep my hair at shoulder length with a few layers on top and back. I have to keep highlighting my hair as it tends to damage the hair a bit and that helps give it volume. I use Big Sexy Hair by Michael O'Rourke, spray it on the roots then blow dry holding the sections straight up in the air, this gives it fluff then spray with Tresemme Ultra Fine mist, any other hair spray just seems to weigh down the hair. I don't use Volume shampoo as it also weighs down my hair. I Have not found a shampoo that does not eventually build up and I have given up looking for one, I use cheap Suave shampoo each day then wash with Ivory soap once a week to really clean the build up. When my hair was shorter I used Ivory soap daily and it worked just fine.

Another is to buy special volumising shampoos and conditioners, and also to get a layered or feathered cut.

I loved the old perms that use to make my hair very curly and thick. I now just accept it and wear bangs and one length which makes it look thicker.

As for products, many shampoos and conditioners contain ingredients that coat the hair. These ingredients like silicones, oils & resins actually attract dirt and oily which can make fine hair even limper. Some volumizing shampoos are made with harsh surfactants to rough up the hair - not a good idea either. So what's a fine head to do...This is not a cheap solution, but I have found one product that actually works extremely well on fine hair. It's Innersense hair bath & daily conditioner. They have 2 versions for normal & colored hair. My stylist told me about them and now all my sisters are hooked as well. The shampoos are sulfate-free so they clean very gently. They don't coat the hair so it feels REALLY clean. The conditioner then penetrates quickly to detangle and condition. I can actually use this conditioner all the way to my scalp everyday. This is important to me because I live in a sunny climate and don't want to damage my hair. I have never had so much volume and body before. I LOVE these products. Plus they're made with organic ingredients and Innersense is a Green company so i feel good about using their products. You can buy them in salons or at their website www.innersensebeauty.com. Use the promotion code gogreen and you get 20% off your first order (i found this at greepeople) Good luck Report Spam or Abuse RE: Dealing With Fine Hair Post by susanmajp (809) | (07/10/2007) Profile | Contact I sympathize as I too have baby fine hair; I have a lot of hair, but the hair shafts are super fine. My hair is straight and will not hold a curl, perms are too harsh and will break my hair, coloring seems to change my hair's cuticle and makes it knot terribly -- plus makes it hard to wash and comb out no matter how much or what type of conditioner I use. And most products weigh my hair down rather than give it the lift it's supposed to. Anything with oil of any kind is a big NO-NO. My hair wicks oil and looks like a greasy mess. I find that the less I do to my hair the better. A great, precision cut is soooo important. I do not have money, yet pay $75.00 per cut. On the upside, I only need a cut about every 5 months. A precision cut will look good growing out. I've always been told to wear a sleek blunt-cut bob, but have had it layered and it looked and felt good too. I cannot tell you the number of hairdressers that I've tried. I even attended cosmotology school to learn what I could about my hair. People with average, 'normal' hair do not understand this problem. It's the cut. You simply cannot make our hair do what it doesn't want to do, and doesn't respond the way other individuals hair does.

I am 63 and am still trying to deal with fine hair, which I passed on to my son and my grand daughter who have the same problems...grand daughter TRYING EVERYTHING to make her hair thick and long and wonderful...keep telling her...IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN THE QUICKER YOU EXCEPT IT THE BETTER Good Luck Report Spam or Abuse RE: Dealing With Fine Hair Post by Noella (193) | (07/09/2007) Profile | Contact I have baby fine hair. I dyed and and permed and was never happy. I finally gave up, let the color go natural (and found I had beautiful silver hair) and stopped perming. I found a hair dresser I loved. I wore the "pixie" for a while, but now I wear it just below-ear length and in a pageboy. I love it. I have very sensitive skin so I have to watch the shampoos that I use. A light spray will sometimes add a little body, using a "shine" product will give your hair shine and a little body. Just be sure to not overdo it. I have also read where people have used nothing but water on their hair for years and love the results. I haven't been brave enough to try that myself. But basic to great hair is a great cut. Find a beautician you like and stay with him/her. Do not be afraid to leave to find a better one. If you see someone in a store whose hair style you like, go up to them and ask who their beautician is. That's the way I found mine.

I just lightly whiff some through my hair with fingertips, a toenail-clipping size amount again and again until it shines and behaves. Have relied on it for years. Also I only wash my hair with conditioner, no shampoo, it emulsifies away oil and dirt without the stripping effect of shampoo. How's that for a thrift tip?

Also, have you ever thought of dyeing your hair? Dye, especially permanent dye, makes hair thicker and stiffer.
