I love you video I have most all the hair products wondered which ones and how to use thank you for sharing I love the straightener I'm buying it tomorrow!!❤️
i just found your videos today as I was looking for a new style. I have very thin (see scalp in some places) and fine hair. ( I love the term angel hair.) My Beautian of many years finally talked me into a perm wave. I grew my hair out to about chin length and we tried it. I litterally started crying when she took out the rods and styled. I looked like a fuzz ball. I hate what it looks like now and have to blow dry and use a curling iron daily to get it to even begin to look presentable. Now I am seeing a halo of frizz in the mirror. I am thinking of cutting back to a pixie and starting over. My hair grows very slow. Thank you for your wonderful suggestions.
I liked Olpaplex 3, but I LOVE K18! It is pricey, but a little goes a long way and it has been transformative on my fine, thin, fragile, highlift blonde. I have yet to find a purple toning product that actually works but doesn’t destroy my hair in one use. So far, the Christophe Robin baby blonde mask is my favorite, but I am still looking for a holy grail toning product.
I love Nexxus products--have been using since I was about 9 years old. Back then, it was a professional brand only sold in salons. I use Humectress as a weekly hair mask the night before I shower. Years ago I would put in damp hair after showering, but I don't need too much moisture. I avoid the roots.
tysm for this video! I would love a styling/curl video, I've been curling my hair every other morning trying to learn how to curl it and make it last more than 30 minutes before I go back to the office. Will definitely be checking out many of these products, looking forward to your next vid!
Oh I'm so happy you liked it love! Yah the curls staying is a whole other beast hah one tip I got actually was to hairspray your hair from the bottom versus the top so that way it almost is opposing gravity versus continuing to weight! I'll be sure to showcase that in another video sometime! Let me know how you like them! ♥️🙋🏼♀️
I'm trying to grow out my hair, but I bleach them, and I needed to cut top layers and the longest hair at the bottom were sooo dry, but I don't want to cut them because I want to put them in the bun as soon as possible so I bought K18. I used it as recommended after washing my hair with shampoo without conditioner, I'm before 4 round and so far I'm very pleased with the results. I regret I didn't buy it before cutting my hair. but well.
this was so helpful thank you! I've had my hair super short my whole life so I didn't realize until recently how thin it is... so this was really useful in me trying to figure out how to care for it ♥️♥️
@@AmandaWeldon omg! I got your reply while still watching your video 😂😂 you're so sweet and yes I totally agree! I'm looking forward to your future videos 😊
I find the Kevin Murphy Angel Hair products extremely strong in scent. So much so that when I got home from my hairdressers I washed my hair again to get rid of the smell. So, if you're sensitive to scents consider going into store to smell it before purchasing to decide if it'll bother you or not.
That is very true Eyia! Good shout on that! Personally I like the smell but I'm so glad you mentioned this for anyone who is also sensitive to them. ♥️♥️
Loved this video. My hair is even more fine than yours and I really hate it. I have to keep it short , but it's about 7 inches on the top. I've been trying to curl it with both a flat iron and a round brush curling iron and I just can't get it to look nice! I'm just tired of having poker straight hair and think that if I could get a little bit of a loose curl, it'll look thicker.
Thank you for the kind words Lisa! Fine hair keeping a style can be super frustrating but I have a little tip that might help the next time you style. If you don't already, try hair spraying your hair from the bottom. As if you were spraying the aerosol upwards versus down. It's feels so unnatural from what we've seen in movies but this way the product will work against gravity versus with it! I've found just this small change has helped it keep the volume a little longer! :) I hope this helps a bit!
My type 1a hair is happiest with soft water and using products with the correct pH. If you want to determine if your water is affecting the health of your hair, try washing/conditioning with distilled water from the drug store (or collect some rain water). Sometimes I also add a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to my distilled water wash bowl. My favorite shampoo is Nizoral. I don’t have dandruff, but I do get hormonal scalp acne/folliculitis and Nizoral controls yeast overgrowth on scalp; Nizoral has a more gentle form of sulfate called sodium laureth sulfate which thoroughly cleans my scalp but doesn’t strip my toner. Nizoral has a active ingredient called ketoconazole which has been clinically proven to help regrow (hormonal) hair loss. My dermatologist prescribed Spironolactone which is an antiandrogen and it has also helped my hormonal acne and hair thinning. I use only satin pillow cases, and always wear a hat in the winter/windy days/hot sunny days. I use a Tangle Teezer brush specifically for fine, thin, fragile hair that I bought at Ulta (the mint colored version). I have been using the Pura d’Or scalp serum for 3? years and I do think that it has helped regrow some hair at the temples where it was getting VERY thin. I tried Biotin supplements and it helped my hair grow faster but also messed with my hormones, so I stopped using Biotin (I still use Hask Biotin leave-in volumizing spray. I hope some of my suggestions help you too 💜
My hair looks like yours but my biggest issue is my fine hair gets tangly, and looks unbrushed a half hour after styling. I’ve just used olaplex for the first time. Hoping it will help.
My hair is like yours. I would really like to have longer locks , without the hassle/ expensive of hair extensions ect. It's just to time consuming. I've had to have a reality check and realise, having it on the longish side, the ends inspite of all the lotions & potions . It still looks like rats tails. I just have a non layered blunt bob. It looks shinier & is lower maintenance. Also Baby shampoo is inexpensive and kinder to thin / fine hair.
Mine is so so damaged from going ice blonde and using dye since I was 10 I had natural thin curly hair and now it’s all frizzy and damaged I just had to get like 5 inches off and now my hair is so short but I am now natural colored and going to let it get healthy so I can grow it out (:
lol @ your peice of bang - this is just my whole hair, yours bangs... I feel that way so often haha! I have a friend who looks like a lion she has so much hair honestly, it's a bit unfair!
Oh gosh! She won the genetic lottery!! Haha yes my love hate relationship with the struggle bang haha 😂 sometimes like like I GREW YOU HOW DARE YOU DEFY ME 😂😂
I’m Not a professional just a hair junkie but-I have a question about the nexus protein line! I heard that protein can do more damage to fine hair if overused; how did that shampoo work for you? Did you like it?
Ouuu this is a great note Lola!! I'm going to look into this because I haven't heard that before! I really like it for the way it makes my hair feel and smell. Thanks for bringing this up! 🥰
Protein moisture balance is a real struggle for me. Yes, I have had my hair turn brittle from protein overload (apHogee 2 step treatment is amazing but I used it too frequently). I have had very good luck with Redken Extreme conditioner twice per week, and K18 bond repair once per week. My hair is type 1a and is high lift blonde with highlights, so very processed.
Same my hair is slightly denser than hers even tho its thin but its naturaly wavy and gains volume looks like my hair not fine but when i straight hair style it i dont like it
I had always assumed this but I did a little research! Great question and so interesting! It's actually a scientific fact that blonde hair is thinner. "While non-blonde hair tends to have a scalp density of around 100,000 strands of hair, blonde hair averages at about 140,000 strands of hair… that's a big difference. It's that higher hair density that makes blonde hair thinner than other natural colors." (Found from this article online: rhrli.com/blog/blonde-hair-and-hair-loss/). It's great to learn more about the genetic and environmental factors that contribute to what makes us, us! The other interesting part I read was that blonde hair is indeed more fragile. With this, I think a lot of people with blonde hair who experience higher incidence of breakage also have the result of thinner looking hair. This is why taking care of it is so important. :) Thanks for the question!
Ok, so the Olaplex changed my hair entirely!! After 2 uses, I look like I have regular thickness hair, bounce, shine, manageable for the first time in years, and held curl. What do I do now? Can I continue to use 4, and 5? I read it is for damaged hair only, so now that my hair looks so good, wha should I use?
Ps…my hair is coloured (was bleached in the summer) but healthier since a darker colour and treatments were applied. Then, Olaplex went next level amazing!
I definitely don't mask often but if I can leave it in once or twice a month I'll try to keep up with that as a deep condition 🥰 But on the regular I just use conditioner on the ends!
More than anything you need to massage your hair with equal ratio of coconut olive and castor oil. This will give your hair natural volume and luster. Tired and tested by women worldwide.
'Just because she thin doesn't mean she can't be cute', didn't know I needed to hear that ❤️
Hahaha aw that made me laugh ♥️😂🥰🙋🏼♀️ YOU CUTE!
Been letting my hair grow for 3 years now, dishwater blonde, very fine, and very straight. Your video is most helpful. Thank you for posting it.
I love your hair videos! They have helped me gain so much more confidence in my hair and it’s so nice to see someone with the exact same hair type💗
This makes me so happy to hear Karina! Thanks for this comment love 💗 I really am so grateful for this community we're building! xo

Wishing you all the best on this journey angel!
So nice to hear about products available at Shoppers! I often get too annoyed to order from Sephora when I’ve run out of something. 🙂
YES! I totally agree! And it's so nice to stock up when there is a sale at Shopper's :)

The Kerastase Masquintense mask for fine hair is the best mask I’ve ever found - I highly recommend you to try it.
Steph thank you!! I've heard amazing things and now this confirms it! I think once I use up my stash that's my next purchase 🥰🥰
this was so helpful thank you! I've had my hair super short my whole life so I didn't realize until recently how thin it is... so this was really useful in me trying to figure out how to care for it ♥️♥️

Thank you for this informative video! I love Ameka hair products- they smell so good! I even bought the hair perfume and room spray♥️
You are so welcome! Oh I'll have to look into the hair perfume that sounds amazing!
If you cut just like 2 inches of your hair and have a more blunt cut your hair will look sooooo much thicker!

I hear ya.
I use CBD oil on my hair. The specific one I use is ELF 100 MG. CBD oil. It's fabulous and I'm in my 60s so I color my hair. It's needed
Hello , Amanda! I just watched your video u filmed two years ago where you were growing your natural hair . Did you coloured your hair in that video ?
Hi Amanda! Can I ask what dry shampoo you like to use when you’re extension-less? (Not sure if that makes a difference or not). Thanks so much :)
My hair are becoming very thin and I dont know what brush to use. I tried everything.
Do you wash hair daily? And do you use hair oil every day? Because i now only use it once a week or so to not make my hair to greasy
I’m Not a professional just a hair junkie but-I have a question about the nexus protein line! I heard that protein can do more damage to fine hair if overused; how did that shampoo work for you? Did you like it?

I have had very good luck with Redken Extreme conditioner twice per week, and K18 bond repair once per week. My hair is type 1a and is high lift blonde with highlights, so very processed.
Do you use any dry shampoo or texturizing spray?
My hair is extremely fine but very thick at the same time (high density)!! So it has a mind of its own 😂
Oh wow! See there are just soo many different of hair types and they all have beautiful and tricky characteristics. xo
Same my hair is slightly denser than hers even tho its thin but its naturaly wavy and gains volume looks like my hair not fine but when i straight hair style it i dont like it

Have you tried Halos?
My hair is exactly like yours.
Except, I don’t have nice cheekbones, so I can’t do that long.
I love your blouse 👚❤
Aw thank you Kathleen! It's from Sezane I believe called the Caro Blouse 🥰🥰
Ok, so the Olaplex changed my hair entirely!! After 2 uses, I look like I have regular thickness hair, bounce, shine, manageable for the first time in years, and held curl. What do I do now?

Ps…my hair is coloured (was bleached in the summer) but healthier since a darker colour and treatments were applied.
Then, Olaplex went next level amazing!
One of my cousins has more hair on the front side of her head than I have on my whole head.
FYI, Nexxus Humectress is not silicone-free.
So you only put olaplex 3 on the ends?
I alter back and forth! Sometimes I'll put it all over and if I'm doing a mid week treatment I'll just do the ends so as to save some product 🥰
I would recommend you check out fast hair growth fortified shampoo to double hair growth.
Thanks for the recommendation Ana! I'll check it out!
I don’t we thin haired gals need conditioner AND a mask
I definitely don't mask often but if I can leave it in once or twice a month I'll try to keep up with that as a deep condition 🥰 But on the regular I just use conditioner on the ends!
