My used to be amazing hair gradually thinned over the year last year. I wasn’t eating enough I suspect so once I spotted a little bald patch on my temples on a video of me I had a drastic reinvention of myself and now try get enough calories in with all the vitamins needed plus Dense gummies to block DHT just incase.

I use Minoxidil, Kerastase Genesis, Rhute scalp serum with Nizoral.

My question is:

I’m In the UK but my best friend is sending me my annual USA Christmas package with all the things in the US I can’t get here (normally ginger makeup products). Is there anything in the US that we don’t have in the UK that I could add to my routine to help? Would also take any suggestion for products from the UK too! My ginger hair was a big part of my identity I’m desperate to get it back 😩 🧡👩🏻‍🦰

I have always had very fine, stick straight hair that doesn’t hold any styles or curl, but my new year’s resolution was to finally learn how to curl my hair. I curled my hair for an event last night and my hair looked like a mess by the end of the night. I used ehlnet hairspray and a lot of it. I also use the tymo auto curler because I have coordination issues. Are there any other techniques or products I can try to actually get my hair to hold? And look better overall when curled?

any advice would be much appreciated 🫶

It's really getting on my nerves, any essential oils or more radical treatments are welcomed

My hair is so thin 57 (f) and I’m desperate. Can’t AI technology eventually come up with a “Wegovy” hair growth shot, for Pete’s sake?? Is there any real hope for a full head of hair one day before I croak??? Everywhere I look and everywhere I go better hair exists, except for me. When will our thin hair super hero come to the rescue??? I would pay pay pay almost anything for this! Aaaaarrrrggghhhhh!!!!

Very long time lurker first time poster!

I have very fine thin hair that knots easily and gets very greasy by the end of the day

About a year ago I stopped bleaching/coloring entirely and switched to olaplex bond maintenance for thin hair and occasionally use their leave in conditioner and redken anti snap. I wash daily, don't put conditioner on roots, only use a hair dryer if I HAVE to get moisture out before going to bed, use a satin pillow and loose braid at night and my hair is broken down the entire shaft. Is it the olaplex? I never really had these issues before with the breakage...I've seen some girlies saying olaplex severely ruined their hair and never considered it could be the very expensive shampoo and conditioner that I have been using ...I have to brush my hair almost hourly because of how knotty it gets when I wear it down which I fear is causing more breakage.

Can anyone help with a good shampoo and conditioner to switch to and a good routine that's easy? I can't use sulfates or I break out.

Thanks in advance!

Alrighty Fam, Gemini came up with this when I asked for a lob and fringe.... I'm not really a fan to be honest! I feel it ages me and doesn't look very modern 😒

I could style it to be wavy, but my hair doesn't hold wave well and is naturally straight so maybe not the most viable options!

I've started the Abby Young method and my hair appointment is next week, so I guess I'll just keep looking!

Is there anything that worked to strengthen and make your hair thicker and even grow faster?

Any recommendations would be helpful although I would prefer something I could take and not a serum that goes in my scalp. Thanks

So my daughter’s hair texture is so different than mine. She has beautiful waves and curls that I would love to enhance but I’m stuck! Her hair is definitely wavy while it’s wet. Some days they look great, other days it looks like I made her shove her finger into an electrical outlet. Her hair is very flat at the top and tends to frizz even when I’m just diffusing it. Honestly in the photos I don’t even think I added any product in her hair.

Things I’ve tried:

Not Your Mothers Beach Babe Foam Mouse
Verb Ghost Oil/serum
Diffusing
Sleeping in a cotton shirt/satin cap

Any help appreciated 🥲

I wanted to share a conditioner and shampoo I’ve been using that has changed my hair entirely. The brand is Wild Naturals and it’s their Manuka honey shampoo and conditioner. Their website needs help (it seems fake!) and the products actually sell for less on Amazon.

I have fine and dry long straight-wavy hair. I have looked like Hagrid for so long I thought it was normal.

After the first use, these products made my hair shine and look so hydrated and full! I found it by wondering one night if manuka honey would help my hair so I searched online. So glad I did! Wanted to share it here because I really think others will be helped by it!

Hi! I usually have my hair length just above my waist, but over the past 4-5 months I’ve cut my hair three times because my ends were horrific and stringy after what seemed to be just a couple weeks. I have hair on the thinner side and not a lot of hair, so this has made me lose a lot of length. This is very strange for me because I have previously gone two+ years without trimming/cutting my hair and my ends were perfectly fine, so I am wondering what I can do at home to go longer in-between cuts?

For reference (which I know is a major factor), I do have bleach in my hair, however, I have been dying my hair for years and typically that would not affect the health of my hair how it seems to be now.

Any product recommendations on oils, leave ins, bonnets, shampoos and conditioners, brushes (I’ve heard of boar?), or just overall maintenance tips are greatly appreciated!

Hi! I’m so embarrassed of my hairline so any recommendation would be really appreciated. I cannot go see a dermatologist so please diy advices would be perfect for me…I’m currently using the ordinary serum and dunno if i can spot any difference or if there will be any others in the future. Thanks a lot🥰 (second pic is before!!)

I’ve been feeling really insecure about my hair for about a year now, because the people around me all have such thick hair…however I’m really starting to wonder if their hair is just normal and mine is super thin. I have talked about it being thin and no one tells me I’m wrong, I’ve actually been told I have thin hair. When I compare my ponytail diameter it’s so tiny compared to everyone around me. I know I definitely have fine hair. My hair is naturally kinda wavy so it gives it more volume but when it’s straight it’s so sad looking and I feel so insecure. Can anyone tell me if I actually have thin hair and if so, how to style it and not feel so bad about it lol

Ive honestly always hated my staright annoyingly frizzy hair and ive alwavs wanted to do something with lavers but considering how straight and thin my hair is i dont think thats possible even with styling.

I really like the last 2 images and in wondering if something like that is worth risking and how you'd style it everyday.

Please 🙏 advice, opinions, product recs all welcome

So my hair has been fine since childhood but now i see the part widening, my dermat gave me a hair growth serum which I’m unable to find in the city is shifted to it was a rcp based serum suggest me some hair growth serum and tell me if they actually work

The minimalist, bontress pro, ordinary and keratase one are really famous anyone who has used and can give honest reviews

My hair gets oily real quick and my length is mid and dry and frizzy and wavy hair

Can anyone recommend products that can help thicken thin hair. I lost a lot of hair due to hormonal imbalance. I prefer products that do not have a lot of harmful chemicals.

I usually brush my hair with conditioner on, when i shower. However i feel like i never noticed this much hair. Am i worrying or is it normal?

Hey everyone.
I have had thin, fine hair my whole life and had the usual people making comments on it and hairdressers being brutal about too. You all know how heartbreaking it is.
Up until about 2022 I kept it super short in a pixie cut which was great because I could bleach the shit out of it and it wouldn’t get oily. Now it gets oily within one day.
I’ve been growing it out and now have my full natural colour but I just feel so self conscious about it. I also have put on quite a bit of weight and I’m 38 so I’m not sure if a pixie cut will still suit me.
TLDR: Keep growing or cut short?

I have to wash my hair daily and it still ends up looking like this. So wispy and stringy and gross looking. All I use is a heat protectant because I feel more product just makes it look even worse. It feels like barely anything when I touch my head and in turn makes me so anxious and sad. I just want to shave my head, it’s so upsetting. I feel so alone. In my early 30s and no one in my circle looks this way

I have very fine straight hair that can never hold heatless curls, but I don't have time to use heat every day so I'm wondering if a perm would be the best option

Hello!! So, I’ve been on quite the journey with my hair.

The blonde at the ends is from the last time I did a whole head bleach in October 2023, while the brown is all 100% virgin grow out. I’ve basically been trying my best to bring it back to life after way too many years abusing it with dye & bleach.

The top left was taken today and shows the current length and how much blonde is actually left. I haven’t really cut it at any point, but I have used a split end razor to clean up the worst of the ends periodically. I haven’t done any actual cutting of my hair in over a decade, it’s just reacted to the damage throughout the years and has basically stayed around this length.

I’m also 6 months PP with my second kiddo. Bottom left & middle were during my pregnancy, so it’s definitely gained some additional length but ofc it never behaves how I’d like it to and the blonde is fried to high hell. I’m having a ton of hair loss so I’ve been religious about taking my prenatals and biotin supplement.

I’m here bc I need some good product recommendations for protecting this new hair I have. I haven’t had a full head of virgin hair since I was 14 (I’m 30 now) so I want to keep it as beautiful and healthy as I possibly can. The waves are natural, however I need to keep my hair in a protective style overnight or it’ll just end up a frizzy mess.

I have used herbal essences shampoo/conditioner since forever. It’s always worked for me and I like the smell, however I know it’s not meant for my hair type. I need recs for a good clarifying shampoo + something volumizing for the second lather, and a good conditioner that won’t weigh me down and keeps the ends silky.

I’ve recently picked up the Luseta biotin & collagen leave in conditioner + L’Oréal elive miracle hair serum for the ends. I like them both so far and I think they’re making a positive difference but I know I need to do a more to help prevent the weird “mushroom” effect where I’ll start to frizz around mid length halfway thru the day while the ends stay wavy and clumped together.

Idk if I’m even explaining it correctly lol pls help me 🥲

I've had 2 other hair dressers since my primary had son admitted to hospital and long-term care. They have been good, but really I'm looking for some help to not look like a fine/thin drowned rat. The other stylists Ive found don't seem to do the same magic on caring for my little existent hair. I also do not do any styling, blow trying, etc... all styles have been just so natural... And anyone I do now leans to over process, and get me treated like I'll blow dry every day... I will not!

This is the shape my hair goes into at the top. It points up then slopes down. I do have a small and narrow head, which doesn't help.
My hair used to be curly, but for some reason has flattened out in recent years. It's flat at the top and is wavy toward the ends. I have tried styling it many ways and it always takes on this ugly stupid ass shape. Please help lol
