Product for thin fine straight Asian hair
Hey guys, I hope you are all well. I have straight (perhaps 1b) fine and thin Asian hair and I am looking for a product to add texture and volume while maintaining hold. My hair is medium-long and I am looking for a mix between a messy middle part and a mod cut type hairstyle. Ideally I would only have to use one product (maximum budget of £15-20 for something high quality) as multiple can get very expensive. I’ve been looking at sea salt spray and clay mainly. I think pastes wouldn’t be ideal as I’ve tried cheap ones (got2b surfstyle paste) and it almost disappears after an hour or so. Many other products i’ve tried look good at first but after a few hours my hair just falls flat and ends up lifeless. Some products i’ve been considering: Hanz De Fuko ClayMation Moroccan Oil Texture Clay Bumble and Bumble Sea Salt Spray Toni and Guy Sea Salt Spray I am not sure if some kind of mousse would be a good option for me, having to wet my hair and blow dry in the morning does take a lot of time though. I am happy to hear any other suggestions and would really appreciate any advice. submitted by /u/Ok_Jeweler5757 to r/Hair [link] [comments]

A Guide for the best shampoos for thinning hair that actually make a difference
I keep seeing people ask for the best shampoo for thinning hair and most answers are just random brand names with no explanation why they help lol So here’s the deal in FAQ form because thinning hair is usually more complicated than buying a magical shampoo. Q: Can shampoo actually fix thinning hair? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. If your thinning is caused by buildup, scalp irritation, breakage, or oily roots making hair collapse flat, a good shampoo can make a VERY noticeable difference. If it’s hormonal/genetic/stress related, shampoo helps more with scalp health and reducing breakage than suddenly regrowing a full lion mane overnight lol. Q: What actually makes a shampoo good for thinning hair? Usually a healthy scalp, lightweight cleansing, and less breakage. You want a shampoo that cleans properly without stripping your scalp raw or coating your hair with heavy residue. Q: Why do some shampoos make thin hair look worse? Because a lot of moisturizing shampoos are too heavy. Thin hair gets weighed down insanely easily, so instead of looking fuller, the strands separate and expose more scalp. That’s why some people switch to lighter volumizing shampoos and suddenly their hair looks way better without actually changing density. Q: What ingredients/features matter most? Depends on the issue honestly. For oily/flat thinning hair: lighter volumizing formulas For fragile/breaking hair: strengthening or protein support For irritated/flaky scalp: calming scalp-care ingredients For overall scalp health: caffeine, rosemary, biotin-type formulas can help support healthier conditions over time Q: Should I avoid sulfates completely? Not always. Some people genuinely need stronger cleansing, especially if they use dry shampoo or styling products a lot. The problem is when shampoos clean SO aggressively that your scalp gets irritated and your hair becomes dry and brittle. Q: Why does my hair still feel thin even after using hair growth shampoos? Because shampoo alone can’t fix: stress hormones nutrition heat damage tight hairstyles genetics Most improvement usually comes from multiple smaller things working together consistently. Q: What mistake do most people make? Using way too much product and expecting results in 10 days 😭 Usually the best thinning-hair shampoos are the ones that: keep the scalp balanced make hair feel lighter and cleaner reduce breakage over time help roots stay lifted instead of flat submitted by /u/NoisyCicaada to r/tressless [link] [comments]

M31 thinning or just fine hair? Recommended hairstyles for this hair type?
My hair gets greasy incredibly fast requiring me to wash it daily. I've always had a widows peak since I was a kid and multiple cowlicks but I'm beginning to think my hair is starting to thin. I'm also unsure if it's just because I have fine hair, greying hair and a pale skin tone making it seem thinner than it is. My barber tells me I have a lot of hair but my individual strands are impossibly small. Any additional thoughts or recommendations on haircuts? submitted by /u/DamagedbutFixable to r/malehairadvice [link] [comments]

Is my hair just too thin and fine for the long layers I want?
I am a trans girl and I would really like to grow out my hair. But I'm worried it's just too thin to do what I want with it. I'd really like a layered shoulder-length shag cut, something like the last picture. I've always had fine hair, but when I was young it was much much denser. It got pretty thin at the top by age 19, and it made me so dysphoric I didn't want to leave the house. At 21 I got on estrogen, and it's thicker now after 2 years of hormones. but nowhere near what it was when I was 17. My transition has coincided with significant weight loss. I have lost 150lbs (68kg) since starting estrogen in January 2024. Is it possible that the (ongoing) weight loss is preventing my hair from reaching its natural density, via telogen effluvium or something similar? I've started supplementing iron, magnesium, biotin, b12, and vitamin D in hopes of getting some thickness back. But I'm worried I'm stuck with this ratty, frizzy, thin hair for life. TODAY'S ROUTINE - ion purifying solution hard water shampoo, left in for 2 minutes and then rinsed out - tgin honey miracle hair mask, left in (wrapped) 45 minutes and then rinsed out - patted dry with cotton t shirt, air dried, intermittent diffusing My daily shampoo and conditioner is Redken all soft. I often use Kinky-Curly Knot Today as a leave-in/styler. IMAGES 1 - my hair currently, fully dry, from the front 2 - same from behind 3 - close-up of my frizzy thin ends 4 - hair currently, fully dry, crown view 5 - scalp fresh out of shower, soaking wet 6 - my dream hairstyle, layered shoulder length wavy/curly shag Please help me out!

Claw clip recommendations for fine, thin hair
I have very fine, thin hair and every claw clip I’ve bought has been too heavy to securely hold my hair and they end up falling out a few minutes after I style my hair with them. I’m desperately looking for a claw clip that is light enough weight to stay put and hold my hair the way it’s supposed to. Do you have any products recommendations that might fit my needs? The only thing I can use to securely hold my hair up are those alligator clips that are designed for sectioning hair while drying it and those aren’t exactly attractive to wear as a hairstyle accessory, and it just doesn’t look right. Any recommendations for a clip that is lightweight enough to hold my hair in place are greatly appreciated. Thanks! submitted by /u/Mac_A81 to r/finethinhair [link] [comments]

Thinning hair making styling impossible, at what point do you just give up on hairstyles?
My hair has been thinning for the past few years and I've reached the point where I can't really style it the way I want anymore. Any hairstyle that requires volume or texture just falls flat within an hour because there's not enough hair to hold it. Current routine: Thickening shampoo Blow dry with volume spray Fiber paste or clay Takes forever and looks okay for maybe 2 hours What I'm trying to achieve: I just want a normal hairstyle that doesn't require 20 minutes of effort every morning and constant maintenance throughout the day. But everything I try either doesn't work with thin hair or requires so much product it looks greasy. I've tried shorter cuts thinking less hair = easier to manage, but then the thinning is even more obvious. Longer styles need too much product to create any volume. For guys dealing with thinning hair - did you find a cut/style that actually works, or did you eventually just accept that styling wasn't really an option anymore? I'm trying to figure out if I'm just not finding the right hairstyle or if I need to accept the reality that my hair can't do what I want it to anymore. Any advice on cuts or products that work with thinning hair would be helpful. submitted by /u/Plastic-Box-8194 to r/malehairadvice [link] [comments]

Another glamorous updo
I’m utterly in love with the versatility and look of type 4 hair. I typically do updos like this one on braid outs (stretch optional) or cool blowouts. I was able to do my hair in a couple of minutes here, not including braiding/stretching time, and honestly I think my texture makes styles like this more interesting and real looking. Below are just some general thoughts I have about vintage hairstyles and natural hair. :) I’m a classic and vintage girl, and I spend a lot of time looking at historic images and try to re-create the styles I see. Despite or perhaps because of my natural texture, I don’t limit myself to only African American hair inspiration historically, because in certain time periods one can really see the effect of long-term heat damage and chemical damage on black hair. It’s sad to watch the shift from images of textured black hair in the Victorian and Edwardian eras to later in the 1920s and beyond, seeing how beauty standards and harmful products or social ideals really shifted black hair and thinned a lot of it out. When I look at images of Black people from much of the 20th century up until about the 70s, a lot of of the styles are on thin and short hair. By and large, natural black hair texture was not sought after, so I have to get in where I fit in, which is usually sculpting my hair into silhouettes from the past, and using my texture, shrinkage and contemporary natural hair care knowledge to my advantage, to do so. These days if I’m really set on a style where the hair would’ve been straightened and curled, or curled via wet set, I prefer to wear a wig. I don’t like to use heat on my hair and frankly at this point the drying time for wet sets without heat or a hooded dryer does not feel worth the pay off. There used to be a time when that wasn’t the case, and it was glorious, but I’ve generally chosen to have more hair, over convenient drying time. Edit: Also to clarify, when I say wigs, I don’t mean lace fronts. I’ll wear a half wig with a little bit of leave out and I try to get wigs where the texture is as close to what my hair can achieve, or is like naturally.

Hairdresser recommendation for severely thinning hair (female)?
I’ve always had thin hair, and it’s getting noticeably worse since I had gastric bypass a few months ago. Losing hair is normal for the stage I’m in, but I feel seriously insecure. I have no idea what hairstyle to do in the meantime or how to help conceal it. Had it cut into a bob a few months back and it was awful. I’m near Parkville, but willing to travel anywhere in the city or county for someone who can help and is kind about it (not the last experience I had). submitted by /u/No-Clock5963 to r/baltimore [link] [comments]

My (35/F) sister (25/F) has a bridesmaid (25/F) gone rogue
I am not The OOP, OOP is u/FireMeaning My (35/F) sister (25/F) has a bridesmaid (25/F) gone rogue. Original Post Oct 23, 2015 I will preface this by saying my parents gave my sister a choice: she gets a sum of money either to pay for her wedding, or to get set up with a house. My sister wisely chose to have the house, so her wedding is going to be a rather small affair she is paying for solo. I've been doing as much as I can to help with keeping her costs down (which, long story, was a lot). She asked me to be her maid of honor, and our brother, one of the groomsmen. My sister has a bridesmaid who is a friend from college, Janet. I never cared for her, finding her rather rude and selfish, but its my sister's wedding, and I'm quite good at dealing with people. I ended up friending her on facebook. The first issue between us came at a get together my sister hosted. Janet made a pointed comment to her boyfriend in front of me, saying she was surprised at my sister's bridesmaids, that if she was getting married, she would be sure that her bridemaids were "thin, young and pretty". It was obviously directed at me, as Janet and the other two bridesmaids are both very thin and younger. Frankly, it didn't bother me as a dig, I'm comfortable with my appearance and age, (and I'm a 22 BMI, so not unhealthy weight). It may have been due to the fact that I'm gay, and don't go for traditionally "pretty" looks. The next issue though, came with the bridal shower. I planned it with two cousins. Janet decided last minute to plan a vacation over this time--and convinced another of the bridesmaid that it was really "family only" and that she wasn't welcome, despite being invited. She also posted a link to a thing about the top stupidest games played at showers on facebook. If I wasn't sure this was intended maliciously towards me, I was after the bachelorette issue, which happened recently. Initially, I was told by another bridesmaid the party was going to be the 10th, and that it was going to take place at a certain restaurant/club. Now, this club is literally down the street from me, and I actually own a small portion of the business. I was excited, saying that I would make sure it was amazing. A few days later, Janet messages me and tells me that the party was ACTUALLY planned for the 17th, and that it would be taking place at another location, and involved mall shopping and a male strip club. Now, I had posted that I would be out of town on business the 17th, and neither shopping nor a strip club appealed to me, so I said that it would be a shame I was going to have to miss it. The afternoon of the 10th, my sister posts on facebook that she had just been "kidnapped" for her surprise bachelorette party. A bit later, one of the other bridesmaids sent me a message, asking me what I could do to make the party-taking place at my restaurant-special. I questioned her, and she was under the impression that I had said I wasn't interested in attending the party. Obviously, Janet had actively lied to me to keep me out of the party. At this point, I could talk to my sister, but I didn't want to drum up any drama when she already was stressed out over wedding things. So, I kept quiet. It is now three weeks out from the wedding. Today, my sister has sent me a whole series of messages Janet has sent her. Janet has questioned, made snarky comments, etc, over every aspect of my sister's wedding. From the choice of music (too cheesy) to the transportation (Janet wants a limo) to the order of things (she wants the first dance later in the reception). I've told my sister to ignore her, that it is her wedding, and when Janet gets married she can make her own decisions. But my sister is second guessing herself and freaking out that her low scale wedding isn't good enough. My sister has a history of anxiety disorders, so this is not a good thing for her. A week ago, she was really happy about her choices, now she's crying and breaking down. Right now, I don't know if I should tell my sister the way that Janet has been treating me. It might make her understand that this is Janet's problem, not hers, or it could cause more issues. I honestly want to give Janet a piece of my mind, but I think that could only make things worse for the wedding and for my sister. All I want is for my sister to have a good wedding. I don't know how to fix this issue so that happens. tl;dr: Sister's bridesmaid is being rude and controlling. How do I help? RELEVANT COMMENTS [deleted] At this rate, if someone doesn't call Janet on her crap, she's going to pull some kind of major drama bomb at the wedding itself. Yes, tell your sister that Janet's been using the exact same nonsense on you, and the only reason you haven't said anything is that you didn't want her exposed to it. Then tell her you'll do whatever she needs you to do to be supportive, from running interference on whatever nastiness Janet tries to pull to kicking Janet out of the bridal party personally, but this woman is not worth a moment of second-guessing her decisions over, let alone what she's doing to herself right now. OOP I SERIOUSLY doubt my sister would kick her out of the wedding party at this point. They have a ton of mutual friends, and I can't see it going over well, plus my sister is very soft and it would be totally outside her nature unless Janet did something very over the top. If it was me? She'd have been gone already. [deleted] How are the other bridesmaids reacting to Janet? Do they seem aware of what's going on? Maybe all of you combined can strongarm her into behaving. At the very least, you should probably make it clear that if anyone has questions about anything - particularly anything where it looks like someone might be getting left out of the loop on an activity or important conversation - they should come to you, so that Janet can't keep trying to divide and conquer. OOP As far as I know, they aren't really aware of what's going on. The bridal shower and bachelorette party were both sort of framed as mistakes, so I doubt they know or notice I was purposely snubbed. Frankly, I got the impression Janet wanted me to make a stink so that she could feed off the drama, so by quietly not saying anything, I took that power away from her. At the same time, I eliminated my sister's stress. At the time, it seemed like a good choice, but it means now I have to explain for others to understand. ~ mrsmeltingcrayons You sound like a great big sister! You did a great job of helping her out without being overbearing. Because Janet is still going to be at the wedding -- tell any vendors to watch out. For instance, make sure the caterer knows that the food is great regardless of what Janet says. Or make sure that the photographer knows not to let her hog the pictures, and that the DJ knows that she is NOT making a toast. Et cetera. You can do your best to make sure Janet doesn't ruin anything else. OOP My brother and I are close in age, and my sister is the baby. We are all three very close, but growing up we were very overprotective of her. I'm trying to not be the aggressive, make all decisions sister, but still keep her safe. It seems like a fine line there. I'm definitely adding checking with all the vendors. With the exception of the DJ and officiant, I think everything was booked through my connections, so I can do that without being out of line. Update 1 Oct 24, 2015 (Next Day) Everyone's suggestion pushed me over the breaking point. I met with my sister today for breakfast. She was a crying mess, second guessing everything about her wedding. I asked if this was because of Janet's comments. She said yes, and let me read all of Janet's texts and fb messages to her. Janet has been ripping my sister apart. I'm furious by this time, but my sister needs a big sister, not an avenging angel. I told my sister the stuff Janet has pulled on me. She was horrified, and kep apologizing. Then she got angry. The next two hours were a bitch fest about stuff Janet did through college. I seriously don't understand why my sister us friends with this girl. She has been universally miserable to everyone. Finally, I ask point blank if she wants to kick Janet out of the wedding party. My sister says no, that she feels she needs to keep her promise and that it's too late to kick her out now. My sister didn't get the same vengeful asshole gene that I did. So I ask her what she DOES want. After thinking, she says she wants Janet to just leave her alone until the wedding. Done. I can be a butch fairy godmother and make this wish come true. I take my sisters phone, send Janet a text saying that at this point all the wedding decisions are final, so there's no sense talking about them. Oh, and because my sister will be so busy between now and the wedding, all communication and messages should go through me. Then I blocked Janet's number. I sent the same message on Facebook, and blocked Janet on messenger, then unfollowed her feed. Finally, I sent a Facebook message and text through my account. Afterwards, my sister just brightened back up. We ended up having a fun afternoon at a Halloween attraction. I got one message from Janet, saying she doesn't believe that my sister blocked her. There was also a passive aggressive message on her Facebook, but at this point my sister would have to actively seek it out. Just before writing this, I called my mother and my brother (who is a groomsman). We are all livid, but respect my sisters decision to keep Janet in. However, we are going out of our way to make sure we pull family rank and make sure things are great for my sister. Generations of passive aggressive People have lead up to this. You don't fuck with my family. I'll take any suggestions on how to block Janet from making any other issues! tl;dr: Told my sister about her bridesmaids rude behavior. Got family involved. Going to be one hell of a wedding. Update 2 Nov 13, 2015 (3 weeks later) The wedding was Saturday, and I thought you would all like to hear how things worked out. Following everyone's suggestions from the first update, I contacted all the vendors, etc and told them not to take any input from anyone not me or my sister. Including the pastor, who my sister has admitted befriending and coming to for advice. He was surpisingly awesome and I ended up telling him the whole story, and got upset about things as well. A few days later, I get a call from the DJ, who says that someone else called to question some stuff about the reception, namely the timing, which I knew was a sticking point for Janet. Later talking to the venue, they said someone talked to them. In both instances, they gave the answer that all that should be directed to me. Meanwhile, I've been watching Janet's facebook, and found rather passive aggressive posts that seemed to be pointed towards my sister and I. I ignored them, my sister maintained no contact. A week before the wedding, I get a text from Janet, asking "What should I do with Christopher. We have two hours where I'll be busy with pictures he will be alone". Now, I didn't know she had a child, and didn't think my sister had arranged any child care, so this seemed totally a pertinent question. Without thinking, I replied that I was sure there were some cousins who would be happy to babysit, and that it would be wise to pack a bag of stuff if he was too young to entertain himself for 2 hours. Then I messaged my sister. Christopher is Janet's boyfriend. It was an honest mistake, but kind of hilarious. Janet didn't message me back. Before the rehearsal, I made sure Janet had the full schedule for the weekend. I sent it through text, email and facebook message. She responded maybe twice on the group message I sent. The day before the rehearsal, I sent her several texts reminding her to be at the church at 5. Of course, she wasn't there. Everyone starts talking about it, and I guessed at this point word had gotten around that Janet was being a pain, and the general consensus was disgust and relief. The pastor and I talked, and he pulled my sister aside and said they would make plans if Janet just wasn't there. It wasn't really a big adjustment. One groomsman would instead escort in the groom's grandmother. We do a run through, the pastor calls for us to do another quick run through of walking and seating. And the doors open and there is Janet. I think she thought she was making an entrance. Instead, everyone--grandparents and parents and bridal party are all shooting her the dirtiest of looks. The pastor, to his credit, put on his best, dripping with disdain, Professor Snape voice and said "You must be Janet. We thought you weren't coming" and waved for her to get in line. She seemed cowed, and stayed very quiet. Afterwards, she tried to rather loudly claim that she had no clue what time things were. This was quickly disproven thanks to the texts I had saved. She is, at this point, just hanging all over my sister, sort of sniveling. We were meeting at a restaurant nearby for the rehearsal dinner. It literally was within walking distance, and most of us just wandered over. Somehow, Janet drove and managed to be late to the dinner, claiming to be lost. She ended up sitting by the groom's family. For the start of the dinner, she sat arms crossed, like a petulant child. Then she started drinking--way too much. Thankfully, she was far enough away that my sister and her husband didn't really notice her antics. As we left, I think every single person there reminded her to be at the hotel to get ready by 10, especially my brother. She kept nodding and uh huhing. I sent a few texts and facebook messages for good measure. Of course the next day--no show. We had a hair dresser set up in the suite, and she did all our updos, then hung around for a while before packing up. This is about when Janet finally arrived. I think my sister by this point was so done with Janet's shit she didn't even get upset. Now, to get this next part, you have to understand I have long hair that I always wear in a tight French braid, then curled into a bun. Most people never see my hair down. For the wedding, my sister wanted these pinterest discovered, loose braided hair down styles. When she had said braids though, Janet had complained that we would all look like "dykes" like me. So, I answer the door with a rather nice hairstyle down over my shoulders, makeup done professionally, dress on. Janet literally has her hair wet, no makeup, and her dress in a bag. When she found out the hair stylist and makeup person was gone, she flipped. I recommended that I could just braid my hair like I wear mine everyday, and she just shot me dirty dirty looks. Instead, Janet ended up having a half hour to basically dry her hair and pull it in a ponytail. The next little thing was totally passive aggressive on my part. When my sister and I had our heart to heart, my sister admitted that Janet sold jewelry through some pyramid scheme. She had strong armed my sister into buying a jewelry set, which she didn't terribly care for. I told her that I would take care of it. I went through a connection and ended up renting a vintage set of jewelry, pieces far nicer than anything I could afford. On the day of the wedding, they brought it to the hotel, and it brought my sister to tears. When Janet showed up at the hotel, there stood my sister glittering in diamonds instead of the plastic pieces she coaxed her into. I knew too this entered a temptation for Janet's power play. So, I also contacted a guy who works at a friend's nightclub as security. The guy is quite professional, and looks like he could be a male model. I paid him to walk around, supposedly to be security for the necklace. Really though, he was there in case Janet pulled anything, and to keep my sister a bit more stress free. Also, he ended up making my sister feel like a rockstar, needing security. All that was left was for Janet to behave like a petulant child. Which she did, in spades, pouting and making photos difficult. I asked the photographer to place her end of the row, in case my sister decides to have her edited out. That's my sister's choice, but it's prepared if she so chooses. My security let me know Janet left right after dinner at the reception. None of us noticed. My sister lifted the blocks for Janet online on the flight for her honeymoon. She hasn't made any contact since, or made any acknowledgement of the wedding or honeymoon pictures. When my sister gets back, I'll talk to her about their friendship more. Thank you everyone for your excellent suggestions and thoughts. They helped me to make my decisions, and everything seems to have worked out. tl;dr: Bridesmaids attempts to mess with wedding are blocked. Family for the win.

Am I overreacting about my wedding hair trial?
Let me first say that yes the hair is pretty. It’s just not at all what I envisioned. I feel like I can do similar hair on myself. Also the hair would cost $300 and to me the result isn’t giving $300. Anyways, I really didn’t like the way my stylist did my hair. It looks nothing like my inspiration picture. The top isn’t as volumed, the pony tail feels flat. The curls are fine I guess but went flat after 1hr. Also the front pieces look to thin and weirdly curled to where there is fly aways everywhere. She also didn’t use any product on me to prevent flyaways or to hold the curl which I thought was strange. Also I have really long thick hair so I don’t think extensions are necessary. Am I crazy for feeling this way or do you guys see it to?? submitted by /u/Complete_Novel6608 to r/wedding [link] [comments]

Video tutorial for a French comb half-up! I know some had trouble following the pictorial, so I hope this helps. It's a great hairstyle for those with hair that is both fine and thin. 💐

I guess that’s what I get for asking for a thick-hair hairstyle when my hair is pathetically thin…

Women with thin fine hair, what are your favorite hairstyles/updos to do?
I have very little hair and I just default to a ponytail because I don't have the volume for other styles. submitted by /u/CardinalWinter to r/AskWomen [link] [comments]
