You are one of the few online that address having fine, thin hair…Thank you!!!😊
I think I just need to buy a plane ticket to get my hair cut by Justin. He is educated, experienced, and he just gets it.
yes, had the same idea
Juatin, I really appreciate your respect for mental health and the understanding of how closely tied that is with the appearance of a woman’s hair. You’re a good man, Charlie Brown.
That means a lot. Thank you!
@@justinhickoxyou are so welcome and thank YOU for doing what you do. I love your videos.
“You deserve to feel good about you hair everyday” Thank you! ❤
I’m so tired of hearing from other influencers their rules about how not to live life when it comes to our hair ( heat and products are the devil 🙄).
Thank you for this. I constantly feel bad or guilty for using heat on my hair but when I air dry it doesn’t look good. Also have this same feeling if I have to wash more than twice a week. Glad to have your common sense advice 😊
I have long curly hair that is also fairly thin, which is masked by the optical illusion of the curls. I have been trying over the last 1-2 years to improve my hair thickness and get it to grow longer( faster than I have to trim the ends, lol) and have had great success with collagen and glucosamine/ chondroitin supplements and the baking soda scrubs I do 1 or 2 times a month! I just keep a little jar of baking soda by the shower, grab some in one hand and shampoo in the other, mash them together and wash my hair with it! Be careful on the ends where it's fragile or skip them. Concentrate on the scalp, exfoliating the scalp will absolutely encourage new hair growth because you're unblocking the follicle. I didn't realize how powerful this really was until one of my clients( I'm a dog groomer) started essentially exfoliating her Pom with a slicker brush every day, and all the hair she'd lost( which was MOST of it😳) ALL GREW BACK!!!! In 3 months! I was STUNNED! Groomers see double coated breeds all the time that never grow hair back right after being shaved or get patchy n thin as they age, and there's never been a solution for this, even from the vets- well hallelujah, THAT was the solution! Exfoliation!!! Getting all that dead skin, dirt, oil, etc off the hair follicles and the the hair starts growing! So I started exfoliating with the baking soda( which my hair dresser had suggested to pull the product buildup off my hair) and I saw a HUGE difference! After 6 months, my hair had grown 3 times the rate that it had been growing! You just have to be diligent after the baking soda wash and shampoo it a couple times with a moisturizing shampoo and use a really good conditioner ( I use Its a 10 Mask) because the baking soda will dry it out. The other thing that works wonders is coconut oil! Again, I had a client with a poodle that lost ALL his hair down BOTH sides of his body- I mean BALD! She dpent a couple grand at 4 different vets and he was still bald. This was over about 1-2 years. Then she decided to start giving him coconut oil( feeding) and rubbing it into his skin, like a hot oil treatment. Not only did all his hair grow back, it was 3 times as thick as the rest of it and DARK! He was a chocolate color, but super faded from age, but the new growth was REALLY deep chocolate!!! It was crazy how well it worked! I had my 80 year old mom start doing it and it helped her too!😂❤❤❤
Thanks for a great video honestly breaking down all of the “noise” we are subjected to. At 72 years young, my hair has definitely thinned out and changed. Only takes me about 1/2 the time to blow dry than it used to. I had previously heard that the volumizing products often dry out hair and clog pores. Glad you reaffirmed this. I will definitely check out those products you recommend. Love your channel, your knowledge and your honesty. Be well!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that a ton. Glad to know I could reaffirm your thoughts. The sales pitch has always bothered me!
I agree about "volumizing" shampoos and conditioners. I used Redkin Volume Injection shampoo and conditioner that was recommended for fine hair by a different UA-camr and my hair was never so dry, flyaway, and static clingy! I wasn't sure it was the shampoo and conditioner at first, so I had to stop using each product I was using (a super time-consuming and aggravating experience!) until I finally figured out it was them. Also, the shampoo has salicylic acid in it, which is an ingredient in acne medications that causes the skin to dry and peel (exfoliate) and that I have a sensitivity to. No wonder my scalp was so itchy!!
Volumizing shampoos and conditioners make my hair, which is normally soft/silky SO DRY!!! Terrible products.
l have very fine and little hair and used Pantene volume shampoo and it really dried out my hair, terrible!
Thanks for posting that!
I had only liked my thin fine hair when I had my 80’s perms 😉. Using your tips on products and styling has changed everything for me! Thank you
Whoa! You touched on curly. YAY! And oddly, I've lingered with fine/thin hair as to completely dry to let the last 20% air dry. Thank you for mentioning curly to 100% dry. And I can't wait to see what you are developing .....!!
Thank you! I’m super excited to share it with everyone! I’m also really wanting to speak more to curly hair this year. It’s just got to get favored by the UA-cam for me to get traction on the views and make the content.
I agree! I have fine thin hair and have used some of your techniques for years. HOWEVER, I'm now 80 and had a severe anemia situation that landed me in the hospital. My hair took a BIG hit. Although I have fine hair, I used to have lots of it. I think I only have half my hair now and it doesn't seem to be coming back with iron supplements. I'm adding a couple of new techniques from your videos. Thank you. I really enjoy the honesty in your videos. If I didn't live in the Arctic Chicagoland area, I'd be beating a path to your shop. Blessings in the New Year to you and your family.
Great video and thank you for including us curly girls!
*Volumizing Shampoo & Hard Water* . I used volumizing shampoos under very hard water conditions for years, the combo wreaked absolute havoc on my hair. My mids and ends were dry, dull and breakage prone. Adding a shower filter and switching to professional shampoo and conditioner has made a huge difference. I wear my hair wavy and typically only diffuse at the roots.
Same! I bought a WaterStick and it's helped a lot! Kindof a pain to maintain it, but worth it. My husband really didn't want a whole-house water softener, so that's what we went with.
I also bought a water filter that is screwed on right where the water comes out!! Huge difference in my hair. I replace it every 2 months. Bonus: my shower stays more clean and clear if hard water spots! Worth it!
Great advice! Excited to hear about your new products, and REALLY curious about how you got your hair to look so much thicker!
Great tips! I’ve found everything you stated is spot on for that hair type!
My hair is thin, fine and still oily, even at 73! I can’t stand the feeling if I don’t wash my hair every day. I have a short style, use mousse, and blow dry on low..
It doesn’t take very long. And I use hairspray because there is no way it stays in any kind of style without it. It’s a pain…
Here! Here!
Story of my life and I guess, I will struggle for the next hopefully many years...
@@user-hl4vl8qd7h Let's make the best we can with what we have. It's not easy but at least we are still making the best of what we do have is a life's challenge
me too 🙋🏻♀️
Do what works for you. I have to ignore the advice about not shampooing everyday. I've tried not to and it is too oily on the top and dry on the bottom. Just use the right kind and amount of shampoo. Every day is preferable for some people.
I wash my hair every day. My head feels dirty if I don’t.
Me too!
Hi, I love all your tips and tricks! You are very knowledgeable, and I appreciate all your videos, and all the information you give us!
You are awesome! I have been watching your channel for a while. I’m 57 and have fine hair… but not really thin. But, it is as straight as a stick. Without some heat… my hair would be as flat as a pancake!
I always learn from your content and live seeing you style your beautiful wife’s hair. Looking forward to the information you’re preparing. I already opted in. ❤️ Diann
I’m so thankful for all the great info you provide. I always check out your opinion before a cut color or basic care. I share your info with friends.
Thank you for mentioning us curly haired people out there ❤ there isn't a lot of videos out there for fine curly hair!
Great timing of this video! With my thin/fine hair I usually start to dry with high heat switching to medium on the more fragile front. But yesterday, forgot to switch, the front dried super fast and held style surprisingly well. Thanks for advice that is is okay to continue to style with high heat😊
Wonderful to hear about the product line!!
Great video, as always!❤
This was very helpful. Great info.
Great information, as usual!! Thanks
Thanks so much for this video Justin!
Thank you! Needed to hear this!
You are so welcome! Thanks for hanging out with me today!
You are THE BEST!!! Thank You from Canada......
Great advice! I have naturally curly fine hair. Since I've been retired and do very little to my hair, only washing once a week, the condition is very good. I don't use a lot of product and only really style my hair maybe once a week. I straightened my hair for the first time in over a year and was amazed how good it looked. I used liquid minoxidil for over 20 years and it worked well, but it made my hair very dry. Now I use oral minoxidil and my hair has grown almost 6 inches in 8 months. I'm almost 65 and I have the hair of someone in their 30's. Plus I have a good diet putting collagen and lots of protein in my morning smoothie. Thanks for the great tips!
What kind of protein you use in your smoothe?Thanks
@@susanwolf3654 I use Premier Protein powder and Vital Proteins powder.
I personally could never get a strong enough curl with a hot iron, it would always lose curl in a couple hours. But I do get great results with overnight heatless curls. They last for days. And recently been using big sexy hair powder play. Game changer! Love the volume and soaks up oils and sweat so I can go a few more days between washes. Also light light lightly oiling the ends after styling polishes off the style.
Hi may I ask what is overnight heatless curls. I have fine thin natural curls hair. When I air dry I don't have anybody. My curls look very thin. Do you think this will help. Thank you and I hope you answer . I need HELP😢😮😊
OK the idea of the volumizing shampoo, causing a buildup and therefore weighing my hair down is new information for me. Thank you for that. Sorry I won’t be able to join or participate in the thin hair styling as my work is super busy this time of the year. I am looking forward to seeing all the other ladies, who will be participating and how you willhelp them with their hair issues.😊
❤❤❤ Great video!
Very helpful information.
Wow! Thanks so much for answering my question in such depth! I really appreciate it!
I’m trying to not blow dry and use hot tools on my hair as often. I want it to grow and grow in healthy, also.
Thanks so much, Justin!
Love your channel and recommendations!
@Justin Hickox I really love your advice. So, thanks a bunch. I was curious if you could give some advice as how to style hair in the back when someone has a very hard time reaching back there for whatever reasons. I've had pretty severe joint problems in all the joints in my arms since childhood and it's a real drag to even try back there. This week I tried using a flat iron with my head upside down with some success, but it will take some real practice. Lol! Thanks a million! ❤
The end you nailed it!!!!!…it made total sense and SO honest!!!!…lots of information in this video, helpful too!….like I said, the end you dropped the mic, Justin!!!!…much love and appreciation!!!!!…enjoy Mexico!!!!!!..say hi to Dionna!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜
Hey Linda! Dionna says hi back! Thank you! We’re literally waiting to board our flight from San Francisco to Cancun right now. Can’t wait to grab a piña colada and head to the beach!!
@@justinhickox enjoy it!!!…have a few for me, too!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great advice!
Noone ever mentions the exception to the rule about concentrating shampoo on the scalp not the ends. I did that for years. When I switched to bluing shampoo for my gray hair, the color was uneven with brassy tones midway to the ends. It never occurred to me that I needed to shampoo differently until a stylist pointed that out.
This is such a fantastic point! I was thinking on a larger scale and missed this totally! I really appreciate you bringing it up. I’ll have to add it to another video!
I've started using warm, not hot on the blow dryer. My hair seems to do better. It's short enough that I don't use a curling iron. Sadly, my stylist left the salon and moved further out, so I'm not going to be able to follow her. sigh. Back to the hunt, again.
Justin, I thought I was already doing the “right” things… nope. I watched this and put your advice into practice first this morning - big difference! Thank you.
Glad it helped!
God bless you for these thin and fine hair videos
Excellent video ❤
My hair looks best when there's no products in it. It's the most airy and voluminous .
I do have to heat style it but even heat protection spray weighs my hair down 😢
Thank you. I have had fine, thin, straight hair all my life. It was easier to style it when young as it had more flexability than it does now. Since Covid, I lost lots of hair and still seem to lose more than I'd like. I dont like short hair on myself and its too fine and thin for long hair, besides im old now. Im 68 and just beginning to see some gray strands. Everyone always says, it's too silky, you have to damage your hair to be able to do anything with it. I think to myself, they sell all these products to correct damage, yet I'm told I need to damage it. Thank you for agreeing with me. Damaging hair would only make it worse. The way to not have damaged hair like mine is to keep it trimmed. I can't use conditioner, it weighs it down too much, even if just used on the tips, i really dont need it. I don't have oily hair, yet my own oils condition my hair if not washed too often. I use volumizing or thickening shampoo and do not wash it but a couple times a week, sometimes less, It depends what I'm doing, where I'm going, and on the climate. If it feels dirty, i wash it. Yes its true, after awhile products can seem to build up. I do use a max hold hairspray to keep hair out of my eyes as its thiner at the hairline and falls in my face and looks unkept. I use heat to dry my hair, upside down, but it doesn't take but a couple minutes to dry. I haven't had much style my whole life as it's been about impossible. Many have not known how to handle hair like mine. True story, think only one person seemed to get it and she retired long ago. I dont take meds and am not good with hair, so I don't mess with it much. Love your videos.
P.S. On day 5 I use dry shampoo and oil on the ends to get through the last 2 days. I am 70 years old, I get some compliments on my hair when it is curled, but have struggled with it since it got damaged by a hairdresser 2 years ago. I have a new hairdresser who is better and more agreeable to what I ask her to do to not damage my hair.
I agree and you are so nice! And funny, no wonder your wife looks so happy with you! 😊
When you have thin fine hair, you have to use heat on it, or you'll be wondering why everybody's hair looks better than yours. I'm a model in NYC who did no heat for 3 years. I looked frizzy, unkempt and a mess, until I finally used heat on my hair at the end of the 3 years and finally looked put together again. All 3 years did nothing to heal my hair, it genuinely looked so much worse without heat styling.
I’ve been trying to get my hair healthy, I haven’t used heat in 15 years. My hair never got healthy. It’s still dry/damaged/frizzy and just horrible looking. I do have a thyroid condition. So I figured it’s too fragile for heat. Looks bad anyway, might as well use heat.
Well finally videos have found an audience that been neglected and it’s a big audience. Fine, thin, fizzy, hair loss, no shine folks. These are the people that need help. In my years long quest, with two cabinets full of expensive useless products I have found 3 for me. Redkin 😅Fizzy hair shampoo, WOW frizz tamer, and DeFrizz with heat protectant from Justin Hickox. I’m in heaven. But I do avoid hot tools as much as possible! Maybe a flat iron at low 300 temp a couple times in a week. Those three products get me though the other days. I also use a method of application that’s best for me. Written direction on the bottle aren’t best for all. I use Justin’s DeFrizz by spraying in hands and applying to hair because spraying is over kill for me. Thank you Justin, it changed my hair.💕
Love that! Yes, I always recommend you play with amounts and application techniques. My wife saw your comment and tried applying Just DeFrizz the way you do, and she really liked it!
Great video. I have much respect for your honesty and great knowledge.
Great video and good advice. Totally agree with your comments. 🇦🇺
Thank you Justin
Thank you for sharing - I learned something new 😃👍
Glad it was helpful!
I agree with advice , luckily I’ve been doing it mostly right. I kind of figured it out back a while. I just go minimal with the heat and I use large Velcro rollers for volume and just kind of keep it there.
I have never heard a hairstylist address the fact that feeling good about yourself with thin, fine hair is important. I have had stylists send me out of the salon with flat, dull lifeless hair as almost punishment for having thin, fine hair. Like I don’t deserve to feel pretty. No heat, no products, no colour.
I have always thought I would prefer to keep my hair shorter and weather the risk of damage so I can at least feel ok about myself. What is the point of perfectly healthy hair if it makes you feel miserable?
Sisley and Isle products have helped my fine, thin hair.
Thanks for clearing up this issue. I take it since you didn't include heated rollers in your video, you consider them a negative, since heat is constantly applied to the same section of hair for 10 minutes or more.
What shampoo/conditioner do you recommend for thin, fine hair? I really enjoy watching you and have learned so much! Thank you❤
I stopped coloring/bleaching about 5 years ago. That helped A LOT. I not only have thin, fine hair, but I have a scar (kicked by a horse) also some alopecia (my daddy deployed to Vietnam when I was two-very stressful) So, I wash my hair every third day, and stretch it with dry shampoo whenever I can. I use a conditioner only on the ends, and use a heat protector. I scrunch and use a diffuser. (This is the part where I unabashedly promote the Laifen hair dryer-not sponsored.) That was absolutely the best purchase I have ever made. I do use some hairspray, and can use a few spritzes of water the next day or to to bring the wave/curl back to life. I don’t have a perfect or neat style, because I’m mostly retired, but do have a small hobby farm just outside of Hot Springs, Arkansas. My hair fits my personal style, so I just go with it. Justin, LOVE your channel! It is so informative and I learn so much. Hope everyone has a happy and healthy 2024! (Did I mention that I’m on a Nutrafol diet? Yeah! That stuff has done WONDERS for my hair. It’s NOT cheap, but it’s WORTH it!)
How long have you been taking Nutrofol? For me it has been about 6 months and I’m discouraged, as I do not see much change. Thanks!
@@tiffanyhatch4174 I’ve been taking it for about 6 months. I have also taken Weem (a gummy) and Sugar Bear Hair (also a gummy) St. Tropica True Bloom is a vegan option, if you’re interested in that. All of these are less expensive options than the Nutrafol. I’ve taken the Nutrafol for a longer period of time than the rest, but I have mixed it up a month or two, just because hair goes through a growth phase and a rest phase. I haven’t used anything topical, just because hair grows from the inside, and I personally think stuff put on the scalp doesn’t do much. (Just my personal opinion. . . )
Do you take biotin supplement? I’ve heard that might help. Took collagen powder for 3 months with no noticeable change to hair, nails(they grew faster but still thin) or skin(not really any problems with skin).
@@SpeakTruthBeKind I am taking a biotin supplement. It seems to help hair growth, but my nails are still thin and brittle. I don’t think age/menopause is helping.
Great job…. Explaining
Thank you!! I appreciate that!
Interesting. Thanks!
I have fine hair but a lot of it! I rarely use conditioner because it only flattens my hair. My hair is very healthy. I use minimal product before I blow dry, never use hot irons and a good can of hairspray is my best friend. And my hair is extremely straight!
Thank you for this! I used moisturizing shampoo and conditioner because, as you get older, EVERYTHING gets drier! But I only wash my hair every 3 days. The biggest difference in getting back to a slightly thicker hair has been a very good fish oil of all things. Within a couple of months of my hair was much healthier and thicker. This is on 70 yo hair.
As a liscensed stylist....i have very thin fine hair. I wash my hair everyday, i have to. I have way to oily of scalp. I find i would lose hair if i didnt wash it....but everyones hair is different. I lighten my hair every three weeks(i have platinum blonde hair) i am very careful. I never apply lightener to alreadyy lighten area, meaning i do my highlights with only painting the roots carefully...most people think my hair is thick, because i mastered the styling. I reccomend heat and i like it hot! I do like the tourmaline, ect dryers. They give fullness. Another tip, do not over brush your hair when its thin,it only flattens it. I do keep my hair length right below my chin. I love dry shamppo, but i useit as a styling aide, never as a shampoo. It gives my hair fluff and thickness and some hairspray, with a tad of spray shine( helps detangle, but just a tiny bit, in the spray form) i have to say my blonde hair is very healthy and shiny looking(even without spray shine) i brush carefully when wet...take care of it....i baby it😊
I use niacinamide meant for skincare on my scalp. It cuts the oil production on my very fine oily hair. I also use willow bark products from Germany for this. Bleach ruins my delicate hair so I keep my natural colour and use curl cream to encourage my slight natural wave, also have very short bangs I love that cuts away the front thin perimeter and makes it look much thicker. The rest is long. Love it.
@greenknitter your hair is a different texture than mine....I can tell by your description of your hair. I've been a stylist for 28 yrs. Not to many people have hair like mine. It sucks...literally! But I learned early how to maximize it! I can see where products which u mentioned would help with wavy hair. I need a little damage to change the texture of my hair, but still have it healthy enough where, I can maintain shine(which is difficult on blonde hair) and keep it attached to my head😁. I can't play around with color(like, going back and forth from blonde to brown, ect on mine), like others, buts that's OK. I look best with my hair just below my chin or a pixie( also the older u get, at least for my face, keeping it short , gives the appearance ofl lifting it upward) I feel more youthful at 47! I have always had a style to my hair! I'm not a wash and go, with flat hair, kind of girl😄 I love, makeup, good fashion, and stylish hair....sometimes I wish I was just a plain jane🤣
Definitely a heat protector and low setting on a blow drier for fine thin hair.
As always great video, and I loved the last comment about the highway! That definitely makes sense to me, and helped me to reconsider what I do and don't do to limit damage to my rather thin and fragile hair. By the way, (my apologies for not checking beforehand if this has already been addressed in any of your videos) do you know if a healthy whole food plant based diet has negative impact on hair? While the rest of my health is much better since eating this way (and it also is my preferred way for etical and ecological reasons), my hair seems to worsen (breaking more, thinner, more white hairs) lately. Of course I'm also not getting younger, have thyroid issues and have struggled with mental health lately.......so food is maybe the last reason, still I wonder.
Do you get the protein your body needs? protein is the single biggest thing hair needs from our diet to be in great condition. I would take a protein supplement if you don't want to add meat to your diet, but your GP should be the one to really advise.
My hair is fine and thin and if I don’t wash my hair every other day, my scalp gets itchy and my hair starts to shed. I also need heat to make sure the structure of my frizzy, slightly kinky hair lays smoothly. My hair is not being damaged more from using heat tools! Whoever made up this myth never studied hair structure and never quantified what temp was actually going to destroy fine hair. Using a moderate heat, I get the results I need! Don’t be afraid to use heat! Use a heat protector and lower heat and I promise you’ll get the looks you want!
This has been intuitive to me and I’m so happy someone is on here saying it!!!!
Great video very pacific
I would love to see a video on how to help refresh a style on day 2 hair. I can go to day 3 before my hair really needs to be shampooed, but on day 2 I have either a bit of frizz, some wonky waves, curls or flips from sleeping on it. I try to limit using heat tools on it between shampoos, but would like to hear your thoughts on refreshing the style without causing too much damage. I use a leave in conditioner that has heat protection when I style after washing. I know I need to reapply heat protection if I am restyling, but am never sure how much to apply, and whether I need to let that dry before applying the dryer, curling iron, or flat iré on. I have fine, wavy hair. I used to have a lot of hair, bit that is changing post menopause. On wash day I struggle with rough drying to 80% because that then causes frizz. But I do use a microfiber towel to really get as much moisture out before I start using the blow dryer.
This is such a great question and topic for a video! Thank you!!! I’ll work on this.
Me too! Your hair sounds EXACTLY like mine! Fine, with just enough wave to be frizzy, and thinning post menopause. Ugh, so difficult to get the right balance between volume and frizz-free without weighing down what hair we have left, too!
Me. Exactly. Thank you!!!
When you’re rough drying and you start to see frizz - that’s a good thing, it just means you’re ready to move on to heat styling
@@gagalover2k10 if I see frizz, it’s already too late. Blow drying it more doesn’t turn the frizz and wave back to sleek and shiny.
I have fine, thin wavy hair. I use Kitsch Castor oil shampoo and Kitsch rice protein conditioner. Blow dry hair upside down. After it's dry use Calista Fauxblo thermal brush to style.
I have both thin and fine hair. I wash my hair once a week before washing. Before I shampoo I will comb/brush it. I usually wear it in a messy ponytail for work...I know hair ties can break your hair. Obviously I'm not using product or heat. But I do bleach it about 3 or 4 times a year to accommodate my use of semi permanent "bright" colors, see my profile pic for example. I do deep conditioning treatments regularly so as to minimize the damage from 8:40 8:40 8:40 8:40 bleach. Even without the added damage my hair has always had the ability to create tangles almost as soon as I brush them out. Even tho I use conditioner. And yes I only brush my hair dry and I use either my detangler comb (wide spaced curved tynes that alternate) or my oval shaped paddle type brush. I've been taking care of my hair for about 50yrs so I learned long ago to start at the bottom and work my way up. Now that we have covered all the bases what
I'm wondering is if it is better to brush my hair daily or not. Sometimes I think that I'm brushing out more hair doing it daily rather than weekly.
Basically I want to know the pros and cons of each practice. Appreciate your advice.
Also I enjoy your videos because you do a lot about thin fine hair. ❤❤
Thank You!!!!❤
Great video! Since I stopped washing my hair every day, it had actually improved. It appears to have more volume? The first thing my hair stylist told after meeting me for the first time was to stop washing my hair every day! How did she know!😂 Anyway it is looking and feeling a lot healthier. I'm a little too clumsy with styling tools. I've hit myself in the face with the end of the blow dryer and burned my forehead with the curling iron. So I mostly let it dry naturally if I have the time or don't care, but when I do care, I started using a blow dryer brush thing. I follow your instructions for a curling or flat iron and it comes out really nice.❤
I use those long aluminum hair clips after shampoo and form curls but not too many. That way frizz is way down and the hair is smoother and curled after drying. I only wash hair now about every week so I have free weekend time to do it (if you have a job).
Finally you mentioned curly hair
I have very fine hair. Using silicone-free shampoos works really well with my hair. Many shampoos and conditioners contain silicone. Silicone weighs down and coats your hair. Try what I’m suggesting and you’ll see a difference. I no longer have to wash my hair every day.
Totally agree! 🎉
I use Biolage Hydra Source and shampoo once every 5 days. I apply the conditioner on the ends of my hair. I let my hair air dry until almost completely dry. When I am home and not going out for a few days, I let my hair just air dry.
Yes! I made the mistake of trying thickening and volumizing products and a lot of them made my baby fine hair worse! I went back to moisturizing products for fine hair and that works much better. Also, the less I wash it, the better it looks so I just put it up in a loose clip on days it's not so presentable. Also, I have much healthier hair since I stopped blow drying it. Although if I really want a "big hair" day, I will blow dry it.
I have fine, thin naturally curly hair. I’ve recently retired and want to let my curls go naturally. While I wash my hair only twice a week, I do wet it down every morning in the shower and apply conditioner on the ends to help control frizz. I’d appreciate tips on managing frizz and ideas on good hair cut styles for an active outdoor loving senior.
I started using a bar soap from Kitsch. I switch back and forth between a strengthening bar and a purple bar as at 73 have started graying. Love how my blended hair color looks so much better with the purple bar. Stopped highlighting my hair nearly 2 years ago. Thought I would try embracing my gray. Do not use conditioner often. Growing hair out into a bob but lately not having good luck holding a style. Changing out my styling product feeling like what I have been using may be too heavy as my hair gets longer.
Wait. Hold on for just a second. You are just now going gray? In your 70s?!
I started getting grays when I was 12! I finally gave up on keeping it dark in my late 40s. I was about 70% gray then, and I'm around 80% gray, now. I'm 55. I usually put a little Manic Panic professional gel color in my conditioner. It adds just a hint of color (pink or lavender) to keep my hair from looking like cotton fluff (super fine and curly - very curly).
@@karynstouffer3562 Depends on diet, lifestyle, genetics and natural hair colour. Am 56 and only a couple strands of grey coming in now on my dark blonde hair, not noticeable yet. Mum was the same at my age and still had no grey when she was over 80, Dad never got grey either. None of us eat/ate any ultra processed foods, have a great diet and walk everywhere instead of driving which may play a part.
@nancyandersen615 How do you like Kitsch shampoo bar? I just got the rice one so hoping it works!
@@karynstouffer3562I’m 55 and no grey. Genetics and diet have a huge role. It varies for people individually. Both my mom and uncle started greying in their 30s. Fortunately, I take after my dad and my dad is in his 70s not yet grey.
My hair is fairly naturally curly but is difficult to manage like that, so I get my hair done every week to save time. It's done in 1 hour. My hair is a few inches past the shoulder. I ask her to use medium blow dryer heat, 1" curling iron on 300 and use a good humidity resistant shower cap from Amazon to retain curls during humidity and get out of the humid bathroom. I also take my own products: Matrix Biolage Hydrasource shampoo, Matrix Biolage Conditioning Balm, Hydrasource Leave-in conditioner, Heat Protectant, It's a 10 Styling Serum and oil on the ends. These curls last for 2-4 days depending on when I brush them out. I also use a Wet Brush to minimize breakage and that helps a LOT.
I have fine,thin short cut hair and live in a humid climate with lots of heat especially at summer!
So my hair which are not oily loose their volume and shape!!
I have to wash them every day just to give them a style...
I discovered dry shampoo that do work even on my hair, give them some volume but I still need to use tools to give them shape!
At least I skip one or two days washing them...
I’m so grateful for your educational and realistic approach! Thank you ❤
Your fairy feather haired friend
I am surprised people don’t know the things you talk about. It’s pretty simple. One thing I never do is put any heat protector that contain alcohol. Oribe has a great one. The only product I use that has alcohol is my hairspray, to hold my style. One of the best products I have used for texture and volume is Lange Thicket and Osis Hair Dust. Glass Hair also by Lange for frizz is amazing!!
I have fine strands of hair, but a LOT of them. I have thick fine hair, lol! It's curly too. Still, I watched this video and learned from it. Thanks!
I have fine hair, I find if I need to condition it, wet hair and put conditioner on, then rinse out, and shampoo last. I shampoo once a week and use castile bar soap with orange in it, this is what works for me. My hair is getting thicker, but it is taking some time.
Thanks for all the helpful tips and info. I absolutely love the look hot rollers give me on day two/three. But are they more damaging than blow drying?
Depends on your hair and the curlers. Velcro can be a bit more harsh but there are just a lot of factors.
A little damage to fine hair actually gives it some texture.
I have very fine hair but there are better ways to get texture than damaging your hair. Overnight heatless curls, using a salt spray, having a shorter cut, natural hair dyes, styling it on the second day after washing and putting it up on the first are all better for your hair. I have baby bangs and use some curl cream to bring out my waves on the rest, that gives me some texture and volume.
At 65 my fine thin blond hair was thinning....badly. Male pattern baldness runs in my family. So I started on Minoxidil foam 5%. My hair volume tripled in a year. Now I only use it once every other day. The foam is less drying. And the brand name is definitely better than the generics. Dry shampoo helps too.
Curling iron a spritz of hairspray on the wrapped hair on the iron. It gives me more volume and the curls last longer. Aqua Net purple can lol yeah i know
So i style using wet curls and that way i can avoid using heat. My hair is also fine and thin so it drys super quick. Throw a couple of curls in after i get up or after a shower by the time i've had breakfast they're dry, ready to be taken out and i'm good to go all day. You have to get used to creating the pin curls to get the right end result but its worth it to avoid the heat damage. - My hair is shorter now but when it was longer i just slept in the curls
Thanks! Any chance you could do a piece on styling THICK fine hair??😢
I just discovered your channel and I love it! I am 72, with hair that’s thinning and too long. I try to avoid using too much product on either my hair or my face. I have recently decided to only buy products that don’t do animal testing. Will your products be cruelty free? I can’t wait to try one of the bobs you’ve shown. Do you have any tips on how to find a good stylist? Mine recently decided to move 😢. Thank you!!
Justin, I watched some of your videos and then saw Chris the hair guru. Watched him and between the two of you, YOU put WEIGHTS (LIKE THAT HAIR PUN) HIM A LOT IN THE TERMS OF EXPLANATION IN ENGLISH! THE FACT YOU HAVE A LIVE MODEL TO SHOW WHAT YOU MEAN AND DO IS EXTEREMLY HELPFUL! ( BY the way I am not yelling at you...I am trying to get my point across to your viewers that aren't girly like me or haven't grown up doing a lot in the way of Messing with there hair. Because they didn't know how to).
Just one question, like hair I am not tech savvy where do I go to find the links you say are below to check things out you say will be in the links below?
I WILL BE STAYING WITH YOU!!!
Heat is not the devil as everyone thinks. People think this because in the past they were often taught bad practices or they didn't know how to use tools properly so hair got very damaged. These days we know how to better care for hair, and using heat RESPONSIBLY is not only ok, it is often better for hair styling as you have pointed out. Temperature, heat protectant, proper technique, and proper hair care are the keys to not damaging hair with hot tools and blow dryers 💇♀💇♂
Yes, Justin stated all of these remarks in this video.
@@BuddhaBeanie not all of them
Life is too short not to use heat. Never used heat for years and didn’t feel good about the way I looked. Yes heat protection
Agree!
I had recent foil highlights like I always do (on my natural level 7 hair, long bob). And I realised from a photo that they look old fashioned. Could you talk about what makes highlights look modern?
You got my back cool. I'll book a flight, seeya soon , be a while coming from Australia 😂
My hair is thin, curly, fine with oily scalp. I do wash either every day or every other day. I use redken all soft shampoo and conditioner, I use kendra blow dry spray then Olaplex oil only on ends . I use Zuvi hair dryer with gentle scalp attachment with hair upside down only drying near roots for volume. I then use t3 airebrush only on top for volume, rest I let it stay curly then spray with pantene alcohol free hair spray. I end up with killer volume even the curls at end.
Ever since I watched the Blowout Professor talk about how silly the whole “dry your hair until it’s X percent dry” thing is, it frustrates me like crazy when I hear other people say it, especially professionals. Like what is 60/70/80% dry mean?? It used to confuse me so much because I’d either rough dry too much or too little, but after he explained that you should stop rough drying your hair when it starts to get frizzy, then move on to styling, just made so much more sense to me. Sorry it’s just become one of those pet hates of mine 😂
I can understand that. My wife likes to explain it where it doesn't feel wet but cold...not really sure what that means but to her it makes sense. lol She has straight hair so it doesn't get frizzy.
