r/finehair

Hey everyone. I've never had thick or dense hair, but over the last 4-5 years it has gone way worse. I have a lot of baby hairs, but the long hairs keep falling down. I used to have balayage done every year (once a year), but without bleach to avoid further damage. I liked how I looked and I think it created an illusion of volume. But after the last time, the hair shedding was so bad that I stopped. That was 2 years ago. Now I wonder whether I should have balayage done again or it will only make my hair thinner. What do you think?

The first 4 pictures with the bob are now, right after showering, and the last 2 are from 2019/2020.

Can I use this oil in a highlighted hair at the beach? ☀️☀️🏄‍♀️🏄‍♀️

I am really struggling to find a shampoo and conditioner combo as well as aftercare products that work for me. I live in the desert with hard water. I have a water filter in my apartment, but it only does so much. My scalp gets a little greasy but very flat after a couple days whereas my ends get progressively dryer and gross. I washed my hair and blow dried it today so it looks ok but this will only last me a day or two and my scalp will get a little greasy and my ends will just look dry, fray, and my hair will be flat as if it’s glued to my head.

Please help me with shampoo, conditioner, after shower products and any tips. I also have slight highlights if that’s worth mentioning!

This photo was taken after diffusing. I have very fine, but thick hair. My issue is that my hair is still very fluffy and fine after all of this and it isn’t holding or styling well. What should I do, or use, differently?

Routine:
- Put It’s a 10 lite leave-in conditioner on sopping wet hair and scrunch with micro fiber towel
- Herbal Essence mousse and scrunch
- Jelly Soft Curl Gel and scrunch - not sure about using this going forward because it was very crunchy but I need something to hold the curls

Hello! I have long, wavy, low-porosity, fine hair and I’m struggling to find a new shampoo that’ll combat my oily roots. I’ve heard a lot of good things about this product so I wanted to see what some non-incentivized people think about it lol. I wash my hair every 2-3 days to keep my scalp healthy (I have seborrheic dermatitis and washing helps keep it happy) and I’m looking for an oily scalp friendly shampoo. I’d love to hear people’s experiences with this or if you have a better suggestion I’m definitely open to it! Thanks :)

I feel like no matter what I do to my hair it's insanely unflattering. I received a butchered hair cut a year ago and since then I feel like my hair never looks good. It's always so flat and lifeless. It was also dyed red for two years so my lower length is red with two sessions of adding dark brown on top. The first picture of my hair is slightly curled but the rest are of my hair naturally. I'm not sure if I should cut it or dye it again. I do know I hope to have long pretty hair again but any suggestions would help a lot!

I posted a few days ago about wanting the bixie and i got it!!!

I am trying to figure out a good haircut for my hair. I prefer to keep it longer (past my shoulders) if possible. My hair is fine but I have an okay amount of it. I want my hair to feel and look fuller. It also needs to be a low maintenance cut since I rarely (if ever) style my hair. I usually shower at night if that helps any. Struggling to find haircuts that don’t require me to have short hair.

I have very fine but high density hair. I've been trying to change up my haircare routine because my old one had very heavy products. Here's my (almost) new one:

Wash:

2x Week: Pattern Hydrating Shampoo and Medium Conditioner (planning to switch)

1x Week: Ouai Detox and Briogeo Kiwi Super Food Mask.

Soaking Wet Hair:

Leave in: Kristin ess Air Dry Cream (Planning to switch to Ouidad 3 in 1 Revitalizing Milk)

Foam: Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Featherlight Volumizing Foam

Air Dried Hair:

Oil: Kenra Moisturizing Oil

Hair Spray: Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Wild Ginger Anti-frizz spray

before anyone comments, i know my hair isn’t long now but the goal is to grow it longer!

this is my hair now, it’s got quite a bit of breakage and generally it’s on the drier side due to it going through MANY rounds of dye, especially at the bottom. however, i only plan to redo roots atp and keep it this colour for a while.

i’ve always wanted long hair but because of the reason mentioned above ive always had to cut of the ends as they ended up dried to bits.

so i just wanted to know - do we have any advice on how to keep colour treated hair long healthy and with minimal breakage?

(this pic is 3 days since a proper wash btw, washing it later tonight and i’ll update / repost if you guys would rather see it washed)

Before and after my haircut last week... this is my reminder that as much as I like having layers, my hair doesn't. I also think it's time to break up with the fantasy of long healthy hair, although I am wondering if it will grow better now it's all one length. It looks and feels so much thicker and healthier now anyway, so I'm one happy woman!

Hello! So my Hair is pin straight,except for when I sleep with a braid then it looks a little wavy as you see in the pictures. I have a haircut scheduled for Thursday and I want to look older. The black shirt pics is what my hair looks like currently. The blue sweater was back in the fall when I first got the little strands cut shorter around my face. My idea for Thursday is to have my strands re cut + loose a couple inches or to add curtain bangs + lose some inches. I’m a life phase where I’m interested in devoting more time to styling my hair. Any opinions appreciated!!

it’s ugly and it HURTS
