Thank you! I do not have fine nor thining hair. However, I do the scrunching with the towel to get the water out. It helps with my personal style and curling. I realized along time ago my shaking it vigorously with the towel destoryed my style. Great tips.
Thank-you! I need this. :). Could we also see some styles for fine straight hair that is good for each type please?
I so agree… Straight hair tips please… Mine is fine and thinning, going grey, and I refuse to highlight or color. I can’t imagine chemicals being ok for my hair or my scalp. I’m type 2.
I am a type 2 as well, so type 2 styles also be of most interest to me. 🙂
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll keep this in mind as I create future content:)
I would love this too! There seems to be a whole clan of type 2 ladies with fine, straight hair. Mine has fabulous silver highlights from Mother Nature. They’re great! The price is right and they never need touching up. I love the color and the length, and I have a couple “default” styles that I generally do, but I’d love some more ideas and options! 🙂
Doesn’t highlighting also cause breakage? I have been afraid to get highlights on my baby fine hair since my hair has gotten thinner, because I am afraid of breakage. I have also been afraid that layers would make it appear thinner. Thoughts?
Teresa, Yes, you’ll want to be careful about how much highlighting you do with your baby fine hair. However, there is a product called Olaplex that can be added to the highlight formula that will actually repair bonds in your hair while coloring the hair. This might be something to ask your stylist about.
Thank you Nicole. I keep my fine and thin hair short and with layers. I also use a diffuser as suggested in a previous video. I’ve also stopped fighting the wave and just letting my hair mostly air dry without styling. Side parting has also helped camouflage the thin areas.
I keep my fine hair short and layered also. After washing, I part my hair several times and put mousse at the roots to increase volume and I use a round brush with my blow dryer on low for styling. It’s the best thing I’ve tried so far.
I use a long sleeve tee-shirt (inside out) that I don’t like to wear- BUT- it’s soft and I can wrap it around my head and then do my face toner, cream, etc as it drips into the shirt. Then I gently scrunch it with the dryer areas of the tee. This has helped keep my hair really healthy & I get less tangles. Then I add product, dry, style, etc
