Oh my goodness! I never thought I’d find a RUclipsr with the same thin hair as ME! Every other RUclipsr with “thin” hair has a shit ton and I don’t really find their situation relatable to me. Thankkk you, Kia!!!
Bopha H yes same here !! My hair is almost the exact same as hers lol, I’m so happy I can finally relate to somebody, she makes me feel like I’m not alone
Exactly what i was thinking all this girls with beautiful thick hair making videos about thin hair styles or tips and i be like " Girl If i had half the hair of you i wouldn't have thin hair problems 🤷"
Yes I understand completely. I dreamed and that was all I was doing that I had hair like I Dream of Jennie. I loved her hair. My hair is not thick and when I had a baby it was a girl and her hair was baby fine when she was little. I kept it cut short and she complains to this day how she looked like a boy. But Alas she is in her fortys and she has very thick hair. She also has a daughter and her hair is super thick. I am so glad for them to have thick hair it is such a blessing. Little do they know..
Katerina petrova Hi! No she’s not making fun of her. She’s pointing out the fact that most of the videos on RUclips for “thin hair” feature models who have actually pretty thick hair. And for us girls who have really thin hair that is super frustrating because we are searching for someone with hair like us. She’s saying it’s great that Kia is posting videos! I think so too. She’s beautiful and has really truly helped me to love my hair the way it is. :)
When people look at you, they are so blinded by your beauty that nobody will pay attention to the thickness of your hair ! They only notice how charmingly face framing it is. You are all what a woman can wish to be : beautiful, intelligent, sweet, honest, kind hearted, and so utterly graceful and feminine ! Your hair is delicate and refined like you and suits you to perfection !
Reality is they do notice and that’s a valuable reality too. Still wishing the world were like Bernadette said, they generally look at the inside of people feels good even though it’s not real life.
I'm a portrait artist (with thin hair) and agree that her hair is gentle and sweet and does match her very well ........ It does NOT look as though she's 'lacking' anything at all ! I DO notice that as my hair is aging it has more body and is easier to manage now that it's almost all .....a bright and happy silver grey or perhaps a beige grey ! It used to be a 'non-color' like dishwater ! eek! BUT I've lost a lot lately because of Covid [5 months ago] ! ~ I'm just SO glad to have HAIR ~ and am praying frequently about it and being as gentle as possible !
i have searched on youtube for "thin hair" for a long period. nobody was even close to the hair i had. now i finally found a person who maybe have some tips for me hahah. subscribed. thank you for sharing your experience :)
Thank you Kia for your total honesty about thin hair. You are extremely beautiful in every way. I too was just born with thin, fine hair. I actually remember the ONE compliment I ever got on my hair in my 20’s. I am in my mid-40’s now. It’s hard when you get together with friends and they start talking about their hair dresser, giving each other compliments about their gorgeous hair and I just sit there quietly because I would never pay to have my haircut! It takes me all of two minutes to cut my own hair! Thank U for your beauty and confidence in what God gave you! It is very inspirational!
Finally found someone who really does have thin hair like mine! So many of the videos are people who claim to have thin hair and it’s just a joke they have no idea what thin hair is. Love the video and will be watching all your videos from now on
Finally, someone with actually thin hair like mine! Looking at the comments it seems so many people have noticed this too, but youtube has so many supposedly "fine thin hair" advice videos, and most of them are done by people who have a LOT of hair.
My dear husband said that he would never have thought of your hair as "thin." He said that you were very beautiful! But, you are right... we are our own worst enemies. Our loved ones don't focus on our "faults." I never would have looked at you on youtube and thought you had thin hair. Of course I came to your channel because my hairdresser said my hair is thinning (WTF?), so I did my research and somehow came to your channel. You are beautiful! And your hair is beautiful! No one notices the things you are noticing. :)
My hair is very thin.,and then I got alopecia! Baldish areas. Horror. Couple that with old age and who wants to ever go outside. My hair never grew very long but then I found out about some health issues that contributed to the hair problem. I have to take thyroid medication and special b12 and iron pills. ( please note that these were prescribed by a doctor not in any way suggesting this unless you have had the appropriate tests ) things might get worse if you try to think bodies are the same ) Astonishingly, my thin hair grew and grew, it is extremely thin with baldish areas but I am able to pin it up and try to cover the balding spots, As stated in the video I had to change my diet. That is from awful to not so bad, this is a work in progress. GET CHECKED OUT BY A DOCTOR. MY DOCTOR TOLD ME IF HE KNEW A CURE FOR BALDNESS HE WOULD NOT HAVE TO WORK,BUT HE DID FIND SOME HEALTH ISSUES AND THE TREATMENT FOR THOSE MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO MY LONG BUT STILL VERY THIN HAIR,
i had very thick and nice hair, than something chanched and i lost and still losing my hear . its make me very sad and extremly depressing, but you are such a sunny person! thank you for supporting us!
Same. I had very thick, or what felt like very thick hair now that It’s so thin, until a few yrs ago. I was diagnosed with an under active thyroid (hypothyroidism). Even now that I take medication for it I can tell when my thyroid is off bc I start losing more hair in the shower and my brush. Part of me felt like it was a relief to have that answer and it’s treatable but then again it’s for life. Good luck.
If you suddenly start losing a lot of hair, you should probably find out what caused it. If it's not stress, then it might have something to do with your hormones or a nutritional deficiency. Get your hormones and nutrients checked to see if they can find anything.
I have long hair for someone with thin hair. I love it sometimes, though when I do get around to getting it cut, it looks so much healthier when it's at most, around collarbone length. I ended up with thin hair after chemotherapy when I was 17/18 years old. Prior to that, I had such thick hair, it was almost a burden. It was straight too and I couldn't do much with it. I now work in a deli where I have to put my hair up and wear a hair net, where as a few other women need two just to contain their hair.
Omg i have thin hair too. In my head I dont think i can wear it down because then everyone is able to see how thin it actually is. I get so jealous of you to see you just rocking your hair en wearing it down. You look so confident, and youre just shining! Im so happy i found your channel, because now I dont feel so alone anymore.. when you describe your feelings I cried because those are also the thoughts that constantly in my head. Things as: im the only one with the thin hair, everyone can see my scalp, if i keep losing more and more hair im just getting bald. Its all so stressfull and i feel so insecure. But its good to see videos like this and thats why i look up to you. You just loving yourself and youre helping others who are dealing with this. Thank you so much. I hope one day I will be right there where you are 😊
Have you been to a medical doctor or a dermatologist regarding your hair loss? I really would like you to see both doctors and get their opinion as soon as you can. Try the medical doctor first.
#teamthin here :D There was a time in my life when i had a car accident, i had a broken spine and i had to lying in bed 6 months(pain killers, antibiotics,anticoagulants injections) You can imagine how my hair looks after all this nightmare. One of the best thing that helps me a lot was hair oiling and colourless henna - Cassia by Khadi(and cut all destroyed parts) I mean the're still thin but they healthy and in good condition. These two things have repaired my hair and made them looking even better than before (I apologize for any grammar mistakes I have not caught, I'm on an intermediate level in my english course ;) )
I'm so glad I found you. I have very thin and fine hair too and when ever I look up thin hair I can never find anyone with my sort of thin hair. Yours is the closest to mine and I feel so much better already that I'm not alone. I am so self conscious about my hair and I stress about it daily. I can learn to relax and not worry so much :)
Less heat is very true! I used to turn up the heat on my curling iron because my fine hair does not hold styles, I thought the higher temperature would cook the style in more. It really just damaged it, and once it got healthy, it holds styles a little better. Turn the heat down! I never go above about the halfway setting. Dry shampoo is made for us fine hair ladies too. With all the straightening/smoothing lotions on the haircare aisle, that is the one product that I know is made for me!
The depressing news about thin hair is that the older you get, the thinner the hair becomes. At menopause it gets even worse. Washed hair always looks thicker, and curling it (I use basic rollers, never heated ones) is the absolute best way to create volume. It's the best I can do with what I have.
Hi there - count me in as a member of this club! I'm much older and have been dealing with this for a long time but I still like to check out what like-haired people have to say. Kia, all your tips are wonderful and your attitude is simply the best. My hair is just like yours (except gray now) and I gave up trying to make it look thicker and focus on making it look its best. I've been a lot happier since then. Everybody has things they don't like about themselves! Hair happens to be ours. Just accentuate the positive things about yourself and maintain an upbeat attitude. If you carry yourself in a positive confident way, no one will even notice your hair. Thanks for posting this! I'm going to send the link to my daughter who also inherited the same hair. xo
I have thin hair genetically and I have bald spot too 😢 I literally cry everydaybut your video makes my heart warm again. And right now I'm on Red Light Therapy, eating healthy food, taking zinc and follicare vitamins. I hope this treatment works. And I apologize if my english isn't good enough. Thanks to provide this platform for people who has fine hair. Trully blessed :)
100% agree about the layers..why do they do that??? It’s so irritating it just makes your hair thinner and limper! UGH! The best is a one length blunt cut..so I do it myself now and save $
For the last three years I have cut my own hair. It's so easy to cut in a blunt cut, and it looks the same as when I went somewhere & had it cut. My hair is very limited with what can be done with it because it's sooooo baby fine. I hate it, and sometimes wear a hairpiece or wigs.
I heard that a blunt cut is also best for thin hair. So why don’t the hairstylists suggest this to us? Frankly don’t think I have ever had a really helpful hint regarding my hair all these years from any hairstylist. And my hair has always been thin and straight and fine.
you are the only person i’ve ever seen in my life that has thin hair like me. i am only 13 and i am trying to take care of my hair early to hopefully be able to have more hair when i’m older. i love your video and dry shampoo is my life savor!!! love the vid.
Hey so I'm also a girl who has struggled with thin haired for so long and well it does get overwhelming at times, specially because it's so hard to find videos on how to care specifically for thin hair. This video was so helpful thanks you so much!
I agree. It seems we thin haired ladies have been forgotten by the hairstylists. I personally think that most hairstylists do not like to work on ladies with thin hair. Because the stylists just don’t know what to do with it.
I used to have a decent head of hair but lost so much of it due to a brain tumour, especially from the top of my head. I lost a lot of my confidence. I'm happy I found your channel. It helps to see other people who have hair density like mine. I take a lot of tips from you to manage my hair situation. Thank you so much for helping people like me
I have the exact same thinness of hair as you except that mine is straight! Sadly it makes me very self conscious, even though I try not to let it. I'm so glad I found your inspiring videos! 🌻
Finally!! I’ll definitely be checking out your channel more, I have thin and very fine hair and it’s hard making it look more voluminous. Lately I let it dry naturally a lot cause it’s got a decent curl to it, and I try not to use too much heat. Still experimenting with products that work for me. I get a little self conscious about how thin it looks sometimes cause most people around me have thick hair.
Great positive tips for thin hair! They are REALISTIC... that helps a lot. I have androgenetic alopecia female pattern and obviously thin hair. When we embrace our condition knowing that there is no magic that we must learn to manage the hair we have and make it look gorgeous life gets easier. You look beautiful girl and your hair is lovely too!!!
I'm balding due to a brain tumour. The top of my head is worse than your's now. And i used to have thick, long hair. I did the tips you have mentioned. You are a lovely, positive person. I'm subscribing because i really loved your happy energy and you provided actual helpful tips for hair like our's. Watching other RUclipsrs advise on how to manage thin hair when they have such thick, beautiful hair was so unrelatable. I really wish we had thick hair though..... would have made me so happy. Sometimes this illness gives such hard reminders it gets very upsetting
Thank you for this video, its a struggle everyday and totally understand. I try to accept it and move on....putting life in perspective really helps me deal with it. Best wishes and so happy I found your channel
Thank you! I have insanely fine hair naturally, and none of the "fine hair" videos I watch are from people with actually fine hair. Thank you for the advice!
Yes, thank you for sharing. I too have hair as thin. When younger I permed it. Then wore short and spiky. Now. searching. Feel better knowing I'm not alone. You seem so sweet.
Thank you, finally a video about thin hair by someone who actually has fine thin hair! I too have fine thin hair. The only plus is it dries in a few minutes!
I've had thin hair all of my life...I am much older than you. I most always grew my hair long past my shoulders because what I do at night is to pin curl with bobby pins (the thin ones). It works great! It keeps my hair from breaking (pillow case does this) and it's easy to remove them & comb it out gently in the morning. My mother did this also! So having long hair with curls makes my hair looks like I have more hair! I style my hair in different ways up or down. I liked your ideas!👱♀️
I have fine hair, but a bit more of it. However, I agree with all of your tips! I use to hate my hair but once you learn what works for your hair you can begin to love it. And just like anything else, there are advantages to having thin hair. It doesn't take long to blow dry, curl or flat iron. For my hair I can not condition it. Only light weight leave-ins work well if I use them sparingly. I also need a good clarifying shampoo. Enjoying Acure clarifying shampoo right now. On the diet front, I take collagen powder daily which I have found is a great way to help strengthen and improve the health of your hair! It will not give you more/thick hair, but I've found that it does help those hairs that normally break to grow. It's great for nails and joints too. A win, win. Great videos. I've been enjoying them.
I have had fine hair my entire life but i used to have a ton of it.... now that i am getting older it has thinned out quite a bit. This video was so relatable, informative, and you are simply a charm! Thank you! 🙏🏼😌
hair extensions and toppers work wonders for fine and thin hair. I have fine/thick hair and wear extensions and everyone thinks I have extremely thick/coarse hair. Plus, it's great if you want length. But do clips, not tape, or glue
Thank you. Finally a utuber who actually has got fine thin hair. I'm nearly 50 and have battled with my hair for years. Tryed so many products all claiming to make hair look thicker and give unbelievable volume and was always disappointed. I have dreamed like you of long thick hair but it's never going to happen. So like you I try to make the best of what I have. My fine thin hair is straight so unlike you when it's just hair dryed it looks flat and limp so my routine is shampoo and condition in evening and also use leave in spray conditioner( Palmers leave in spray conditioner doesn't seem to weigh hair down but only few sqirts) and let hair dry. In morning I spray with cold water until damp the put in styling products and always use thermal protection spray. Using osmo range at moment. They do a hair thickening liquid which I think is great and dose make your hair feel and look thicker. Blow dry. Schwarzkopf got2b volumizing powder on roots when dry, gentle backcomb at roots. Bit of hair spray. The only hair dye I use is olia as it's gentle on hair. Colour not as good as some of the stronger but since using it I have found that I have less breakage and fallout.
I'm so glad I'm not alone! I get hair envy so bad...😪 I've been even more insecure about my hair since the last guy I dated 'suggested' I would look better with long hair 😵. Needless to say, it hurt. Thank you for this video! You are so sweet 🌷
you're so cute. thank you Im a 53 year old grandmother but my hair was thin even when I was younger it has just gotten worse. still I've been working on that. Enjoyed your tips. God Bless
Lisa Humphreys yes! My hair is so much healthier since I switched to products that are sulfate-free, silicone-free and alcohol-free. I also recommend using soft water if possible. I have a whole-house water-softener, but use gallons of distilled water when traveling. I have also used rain water, lake water and melted snow. If we think about our hair as expensive, beautiful silk, we will treat it with the gentle care it needs.
Wow, Bernardine L'Ermite summed it up perfectly below. You are stunning and sweet and kind... No one is looking at your hair and thinking, "Oh, too bad her hair is so thin." You're a beauty and sweet as you are beautiful! So have a fabulous life, lovely Kia. You deserve it.
I'm a woman logged in under a friends name. I agree with the comments finally someone with really thin hair I can relate to. I am older than you and am now losing what little I do have. Put it this way. I can put it all up in one Bobbi pin and have to worry about it falling out. Now getting bald spots same as my mother had. You are very pretty and have youth on your side to detract from it. Aging makes it much harder to find detractors. Wigs are crazy expensive for a decent one and I find not comfortable. I too cannot find the right alternatives to harsh shampoos, heat styling products etc... My hair is dry and fly away and overnight greasy. Thank you for the video. I actually think I had a bit more hair then you at 27. Menopause did mine in. No longer grows much just less and less of it.:(
Wow I was always straightening my hair when I was younger. I have stopped along time ago. I also have thin hair and my hair is shorter. I always wanted long hair. Thank you for your positivity! You’re amazing!
Cassia Obvata is great for thickening hair and coloring if you are blonde with some grey. it coats each strand and makes it thicker.If you are blonde to begin with it will add gold highlights. Anyone with any hair color can use Cassia to thicken hair, but it won't lighten dark hair to light.
Thank you for the tips. Totally agree with your comment about “why do Hairdressers do layering on thin hair” they uses to do that to my hair as well. It looked terrible. What I found was I could have only two layers close together. That worked well for me. Very hard to find a hairdresser who knows how to cut thin curly hair well.
THANK YOU FOR THESE VIDEOS! I seem to have pretty much exactly the same amount of hair as you, and tyhe last few years it has thinned out, due to high level stress and depression. I am on a healing path, but being confisent with thin hair is SO HARD! I have stopped using schampoo, I wash with rhassoul clay or egg, and rinse eith apple cider vinegar. I also just use pure aloe vera gel if I ever need styling my hair. Also using henna to dye it. It makes a huge difference to me cancelling out a whole bunch of harmful chemicals! It doesn’t work for everyone, but it can be worth trying for those whi cannot find good products for their thin hair :)
I think chemicals of Any kind Are detrimental to the hair. I have dark blonde hair and I used to get highlights at one time. But I had to stop them because the chemicals in the highlights were causing my hair to thin.
I am 54, with thin hair my whole life just like yours and I have found that there have been 2 times that my hair was shinier, and healthier. One was when I used Nexxus Diametress, and Humectruss together, dried my hair upside down, then when I slept I put my hair above my head without laying on it also I used a wide tooth comb to comb it when wet. And in most recent years I have been using the no poo method, only I add a little witch hazel to the baking soda shampoo, and a little witch hazel to the vinegar conditioner with a few drops of pure rosemary oil to a bottle, then drip dry. This over time has made my hair stronger than ever before, and healthier and shiny. I had hard water when I used this, but tried a few things since moving where I have soft water, but am going back to the no poo because my hair has started thinning more. For the best results on this method, I would say to adjust the amounts of these ingredients to suite your hair.
You are adorable! I love your hair! I too have thin hair! Lost so much after having 5 children! I finally found an amazing hair dresser & you're rt, products matter! I've learned what does & doesn't wk & like you....gotta let the dream go of having long beautiful thick hair! I am grateful for what I have & know it could be way worse! Thx for all the positive comments! Merry Christmas!!
I've watched a couple of videos about this topic, and all the girls in the videos had still a decent amount of volume in their hair, mine was always a lot thinner. Seeing someone with actual thin hair is really nice :3
My hair is as thin as yours but straight and much longer so it looks terrible at the ends. I’ve worn extensions for the longest time which just made it worse but soon I’ll probably cut it to your length. It’s so cute! You’re lucky you have a natural curl 😊
Love your personality, you are lovely to watch and listen to. I would recommend from personal experience, that a small amount of mousse into the crown of your hair after it has been dried (use a t-shirt not a towel!) partially, and then flipped upside down to blow dry works well for volume. Do not use towels to friction dry your fine hair. Air dry is best if you can afford the time, I agree with you there. Also, adding a protective heat spray is important, and when I feel my hair looks too flat, I will add some curls as they give dimension, and a false sense of thickness. Thanks for helping so many ladies out there feeling blue about thin hair they cannot change! We can change our attitude and support each other by sharing tips and hacks :)
I've always had curly fine hair but I had a fair amount of it until I discovered straighteners and dye (At the age of 14, oh how I wish I could turn back time!) About 6 months ago I decided to stop straightening my hair unless it was a special occasion and therefore tied it up a lot (like, at least 10 hours of the day) because I wasn't a fan of the curls - and this meant that I was actually pulling my fine hair out behind my ears! Now I wear it loose or clipped back loosely and low down. Oh, and I also have a alopecia spot at the back of my head probably down to stress but thankfully it is easy to hide. Be kind to your fine hair and embrace the curls I agree! Also, try not to stress :)
Lovely video. Thank you so much! My hair is so thin ... think SPIDER WEB thin! I already air dry it ... or sometimes I'll mix the hairdryer with air drying. Following your recommendations, I will now defo try using the hairdryer with head upside down ... and using less heat. Tbh I went to a hairdresser the other week and had it layered and slightly trimmed (it is long, nearly down to my butt) and it seemed to work quite nicely for me. (I have to try to create some volume cos I do a style of partner dance where long flowing hair is supposed to ... well, flow ... and we have to be able to fling it around as we spin etc). I'm 100% with you on using minimal amounts of product - my thin hair gets weighed down so easily! My biggest challenge is letting it down whilst also keeping it out of my face while dancing. Constantly experimenting with different gadgets and gimmicks to achieve this ... with limited success... Thin hair stuck to a sweaty face is the last thing in the world that you want as a dancer! :)
I have felt the same way, I’ve always wanted super long and full hair, but I’ve recently come to the conclusion that it’s the 21st century and NO ONE has to have the hair they don’t want! I ordered some hidden crown hair extensions so I can go ahead and start experiencing the hair I want to in my daily life! SO many women do it and no one even notices, so why don’t I? 🤷🏻♀️
My thin hair product I can’t go without is Aveda “damage control” it is weightless and will extend time between trims allowing you to grow your hair longer then before.
My hair is just as thin as yours. My sister has half as much hair and my mom is bald. I had already discovered all your tips on my own except the dry shampoo. Thanks for that tip. It's helping the volume issue. My hair is also very fine and stick straight, laying flat on my head. The dry shampoo, along with gently back combing is giving me some lift.
I too have thin hair like you. I'm daily worrying about my hair. Thanks for your video. I planned to keep vry small extension to show some volume. please tell your suggestion Kia☺️
I love your hair in this video!!!! It is almost identical to my hair. I know this is a couple of years old but can you share how you got it like this and what products you used? I’m desperate to recreate it! I’ve gone through your other videos and can’t find anywhere that you share products (apart from the aveda one). Thank you so much 🙏
Tip # 11: Only apply conditioner to the ends of your hair. Conditioner applied all over weighs down your hair and adds to the oils on your head. I know it sounds scary, but I promise it won't leave your hair hard to derange or style.
brandi mccormick since I switched to silicone-free conditioners, I am able to use conditioner on my entire head without it going flat. I also add rosemary and tea tree essential oils to my silicone free conditioner and give myself a mini-scalp massage every time I wash my hair. Rosemary oil has been clinically proven to stimulate hair growth as well as minoxidil, and tea tree oil controls sebum production and yeast overgrowth to keep follicles healthy.
I also have thin, fine hair! My hair is naturally curly and very long. I have layers because it helps keep the weight down and allows my curls to spring up and look good, but it means my ends are very wispy. I have found that less is best when it comes to thin hair; less product!!! I shampoo and condition my hair twice a week. I keep it braided and pulled back most of the time. I never use hair spray or moose.
I wore glue in hair extensions for 3 years and i have finally taken them out, made an appointment to get my hair coloured and cut and i am actually looking forward to embracing my new thin short hair. I never dry my hair either and only use heat on occasions when i am going out
Sounds like a good plan. Have you thought about using a deep conditioner on your hair before you have it colored? Because the chemicals are very damaging to our hair. Or you could call your hairstylist ahead of time and tell her what you are planning to do.
I have thin hair and have had it all my life. I change things and now my hair went from being not able to grow past my chin / shoulders to now so long that when I drive the car it anchors my head in the back and I have to pull my hair to the front because it's to my shoulder blades in the back in length. Girlfriends, you can grow your hair long! I'm 51 and always wanted to have long hair. The key is to use the right products in your life, not synthetic toxic ones!
My hair is also thin... just like yours. I, too, have always wanted long, thick, voluptuous hair. And, my husband likes long hair on females. But, my hair gets flatter and thinner as it grows. Plus, I take medications. Thanks for your tips. I welcome more from you. Happy volumizing!
I'm nearly 70 and always struggled with thin hair. I've had really good luck keeping it long. It's so fine, if it rubs on my shoulders it rubs away , so I keep it up in a braid most of the time. I've had great luck with sponge rollers on the very top of my head so my ends are curled I sleep with a wet head. Sometimes put a towel on my pillow. Mostly it's basically dry except the curlers when I go to bed. I use a gentle shampoo, no heat appliances, a bit of scalp conditioner after my shower, a bit of argan oil on the ends of my hair. Once I stopped dying it , it got so much more healthy. I love having thin hair
I have the same kind of hair. It has its benefits as you can wash it every day. Also if you run a fine tooth comb through it it looks as though you have been to the hairdresser. The hair is soft as silk.
Be careful of dry shampoo. It can clog 'pores' of your scalp... it's like having an oily face and choosing to just powder your face for a few days and not wash it. Yuck.
Coming across this video after years of hair foibles, including perms to create hair volume, has been very helpful for my next visit to my hairdresser! The points Kia has made hit home...#7 and #8 especially. The most helpful tips were #1 and #3; and the rest were helpful too, of course! I am finally ready to accept my thin hair more than I have in the past. Thank you, Kia!
AMEN! No layers! When I was younger I could never understand why I always was discontent after a fresh haircut until I realized that hairdressers were always putting in layers! Now I have a bob and I guard the front of my hair like a bulldog keeping it nice and blunt. Some layers and texture in the back is fine on a bob. But NEVER layer the front!
Apply black Jamaican castor oil on your hair it will really work I also had thin hair from my birth but now they are fine and it will increase your hair growth. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤................
Hi thin haired sister!! I'm glad I found you all the way in Canada. I have thin curly hair too and I agree with all of your tips. I have the hardest time right now that my hair is not only thin but after having a child, my hairline is receding but I am trying to OWN it and go with it...Wish me luck lol!!!
Even hair extensions to add volume doesn't work as the clips peek through the fine hair. Some people back comb it, to try to hide the clips, but back combing can cause split ends, so not worth the hassle.
Thank you so much, your hair looks a lot like mine. My haidressers keep telling me that I need layers, but they never looked good with my hair. I am trying to grow it out but it takes for ever. Do you know of a natural product that helps hair growth? There are many ideas out they, but I did not find one that truly helps. Some products make my hair worse.
Yeah..thats strange..I would not do layers..:) When it comes to products, we are all different and different things work for us. I personally find eating healthy #1, I use the shampoo from the brand Whamisa atm and I LOVE it! Best natural shampoo I have ever tried! :) and other than I try to simply not use too many products on my hair which also works :)
Take Vitamin B12. It is amazing. I always took multivitamin with iron, biotin and fish oil but since taking B12, my hair does not fall out that much. You have to use a clarifying shampoo also sometimes or more often if you use lots of products on your hair.
Oh my goodness! I never thought I’d find a RUclipsr with the same thin hair as ME! Every other RUclipsr with “thin” hair has a shit ton and I don’t really find their situation relatable to me. Thankkk you, Kia!!!
Bopha H. Totally agree with you! Kia now is for me, oh my goddess!!
Yes same here..her hair is as thin as mine.
Same here 🙋
Me too!! Same color and texture too.. I always call it baby feathers! I can’t grow mine past a bob !
Bopha H yes same here !! My hair is almost the exact same as hers lol, I’m so happy I can finally relate to somebody, she makes me feel like I’m not alone
Yes! Finally a video about hairstyle tips for thin hair by someome who actually has thin hair. Honestly. 😂
Are you doing fun of her.
Exactly what i was thinking all this girls with beautiful thick hair making videos about thin hair styles or tips and i be like " Girl If i had half the hair of you i wouldn't have thin hair problems 🤷"
Yes I understand completely.
I dreamed and that was all I
was doing that I had hair like
I Dream of Jennie. I loved her
hair. My hair is not thick and
when I had a baby it was a girl
and her hair was baby fine when she was little. I kept it
cut short and she complains
to this day how she looked
like a boy. But Alas she is in
her fortys and she has very
thick hair. She also has a
daughter and her hair is super
thick. I am so glad for them
to have thick hair it is such a
blessing. Little do they know..
Katerina petrova Hi! No she’s not making fun of her. She’s pointing out the fact that most of the videos on RUclips for “thin hair” feature models who have actually pretty thick hair. And for us girls who have really thin hair that is super frustrating because we are searching for someone with hair like us. She’s saying it’s great that Kia is posting videos! I think so too. She’s beautiful and has really truly helped me to love my hair the way it is. :)

When people look at you, they are so blinded by your beauty that nobody will pay attention to the thickness of your hair ! They only notice how charmingly face framing it is. You are all what a woman can wish to be : beautiful, intelligent, sweet, honest, kind hearted, and so utterly graceful and feminine ! Your hair is delicate and refined like you and suits you to perfection !
They do notice people if your hair is thin even if your goodlooking
@@marcianelson898 Your absolutely right But Ive had mean spirited remarks all my life about my thin hair
Reality is they do notice and that’s a valuable reality too. Still wishing the world were like Bernadette said, they generally look at the inside of people feels good even though it’s not real life.
I mean Bernadine.
I'm a portrait artist (with thin hair) and agree that her hair is gentle and sweet and does match her very well ........ It does NOT look as though she's 'lacking' anything at all ! I DO
notice that as my hair is aging it has more body and is easier to manage now that it's almost
all .....a bright and happy silver grey or perhaps a beige grey ! It used to be a 'non-color' like
dishwater ! eek! BUT I've lost a lot lately because of Covid [5 months ago] ! ~ I'm just SO
glad to have HAIR ~ and am praying frequently about it and being as gentle as possible !
i have searched on youtube for "thin hair" for a long period. nobody was even close to the hair i had. now i finally found a person who maybe have some tips for me hahah. subscribed. thank you for sharing your experience :)
YAY!
Wow you’re seriously the only RUclipsr I’ve found with curly thin fine hair that looks exactly the same as mine. So helpful.
So glad to hear this
I have the same kind of hair---thin and wavy. Most thin hair advice is for women with straight hair, so this advice is more helpful. Thank you!
Ur videos actually making me stop and think about being content with my hair rather than just what can I do to change/fix me..so I so thank you...
gatwoodgirl rlg same
Thank you Kia for your total honesty about thin hair. You are extremely beautiful in every way. I too was just born with thin, fine hair. I actually remember the ONE compliment I ever got on my hair in my 20’s. I am in my mid-40’s now. It’s hard when you get together with friends and they start talking about their hair dresser, giving each other compliments about their gorgeous hair and I just sit there quietly because I would never pay to have my haircut! It takes me all of two minutes to cut my own hair! Thank U for your beauty and confidence in what God gave you! It is very inspirational!
Thank you Charlotte!
Finally found someone who really does have thin hair like mine! So many of the videos are people who claim to have thin hair and it’s just a joke they have no idea what thin hair is. Love the video and will be watching all your videos from now on
I couldn’t agree with you more.
Finally, someone with actually thin hair like mine! Looking at the comments it seems so many people have noticed this too, but youtube has so many supposedly "fine thin hair" advice videos, and most of them are done by people who have a LOT of hair.
My dear husband said that he would never have thought of your hair as "thin." He said that you were very beautiful! But, you are right... we are our own worst enemies. Our loved ones don't focus on our "faults." I never would have looked at you on youtube and thought you had thin hair. Of course I came to your channel because my hairdresser said my hair is thinning (WTF?), so I did my research and somehow came to your channel. You are beautiful! And your hair is beautiful! No one notices the things you are noticing. :)
I have thin hair and bald spot on my head, I just want to cry every time I see my hair in mirror.
Indah Alfiani ❤️
My hair is very thin.,and then I got alopecia! Baldish areas. Horror. Couple that with old age and who wants to ever go outside.
My hair never grew very long but then I found out about some health issues that contributed to the hair problem. I have to take thyroid medication and special b12 and iron pills. ( please note that these were prescribed by a doctor not in any way suggesting this unless you have had the appropriate tests ) things might get worse if you try to think bodies are the same )
Astonishingly, my thin hair grew and grew, it is extremely thin with baldish areas but I am able to pin it up and try to cover the balding spots,
As stated in the video I had to change my diet. That is from awful to not so bad, this is a work in progress.
GET CHECKED OUT BY A DOCTOR. MY DOCTOR TOLD ME IF HE KNEW A CURE FOR BALDNESS HE WOULD NOT HAVE TO WORK,BUT HE DID FIND SOME HEALTH ISSUES AND THE TREATMENT FOR THOSE MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO MY LONG BUT STILL VERY THIN HAIR,
Me too💔😥
Yes research about your symptoms. I had super thin hair until I started iron pills. It took about 30 days but now you can’t see my scalp.
Female pattern baldness most likely!
i had very thick and nice hair, than something chanched and i lost and still losing my hear . its make me very sad and extremly depressing, but you are such a sunny person! thank you for supporting us!
Miss VI have you gotten blood work done to check your thyroid and horomones?
not yet,but im going too. im not in my country right now(
I had the same good hair but some thing happened to me..i feel like cry..i had thyroid..doc said it was normal..than what happened i dont know..😖😖😖😢😭
Same. I had very thick, or what felt like very thick hair now that It’s so thin, until a few yrs ago. I was diagnosed with an under active thyroid (hypothyroidism). Even now that I take medication for it I can tell when my thyroid is off bc I start losing more hair in the shower and my brush. Part of me felt like it was a relief to have that answer and it’s treatable but then again it’s for life. Good luck.
If you suddenly start losing a lot of hair, you should probably find out what caused it. If it's not stress, then it might have something to do with your hormones or a nutritional deficiency. Get your hormones and nutrients checked to see if they can find anything.
I have long hair for someone with thin hair. I love it sometimes, though when I do get around to getting it cut, it looks so much healthier when it's at most, around collarbone length.
I ended up with thin hair after chemotherapy when I was 17/18 years old. Prior to that, I had such thick hair, it was almost a burden. It was straight too and I couldn't do much with it. I now work in a deli where I have to put my hair up and wear a hair net, where as a few other women need two just to contain their hair.
Thank you so much for sharing Kim
Omg i have thin hair too. In my head I dont think i can wear it down because then everyone is able to see how thin it actually is. I get so jealous of you to see you just rocking your hair en wearing it down. You look so confident, and youre just shining!
Im so happy i found your channel, because now I dont feel so alone anymore.. when you describe your feelings I cried because those are also the thoughts that constantly in my head. Things as: im the only one with the thin hair, everyone can see my scalp, if i keep losing more and more hair im just getting bald. Its all so stressfull and i feel so insecure. But its good to see videos like this and thats why i look up to you. You just loving yourself and youre helping others who are dealing with this. Thank you so much. I hope one day I will be right there where you are 😊
Patricia
Kia Lindroos thankyou! 🤗
Have you been to a medical doctor or a dermatologist regarding your hair loss? I really would like you to see both doctors and get their opinion as soon as you can. Try the medical doctor first.
Yes!! This is exactly how my hair is. It brings my self esteem down a lot. Thanks for the video!
Finally someone who really has thin hair love how confident you are 💚
#teamthin here :D There was a time in my life when i had a car accident, i had a broken spine and i had to lying in bed 6 months(pain killers, antibiotics,anticoagulants injections) You can imagine how my hair looks after all this nightmare. One of the best thing that helps me a lot was hair oiling and colourless henna - Cassia by Khadi(and cut all destroyed parts) I mean the're still thin but they healthy and in good condition. These two things have repaired my hair and made them looking even better than before
(I apologize for any grammar mistakes I have not caught, I'm on an intermediate level in my english course ;) )
I'm so glad I found you. I have very thin and fine hair too and when ever I look up thin hair I can never find anyone with my sort of thin hair. Yours is the closest to mine and I feel so much better already that I'm not alone. I am so self conscious about my hair and I stress about it daily. I can learn to relax and not worry so much :)
aww
Less heat is very true! I used to turn up the heat on my curling iron because my fine hair does not hold styles, I thought the higher temperature would cook the style in more. It really just damaged it, and once it got healthy, it holds styles a little better. Turn the heat down! I never go above about the halfway setting. Dry shampoo is made for us fine hair ladies too. With all the straightening/smoothing lotions on the haircare aisle, that is the one product that I know is made for me!
The depressing news about thin hair is that the older you get, the thinner the hair becomes. At menopause it gets even worse. Washed hair always looks thicker, and curling it (I use basic rollers, never heated ones) is the absolute best way to create volume. It's the best I can do with what I have.
Hi there - count me in as a member of this club! I'm much older and have been dealing with this for a long time but I still like to check out what like-haired people have to say. Kia, all your tips are wonderful and your attitude is simply the best. My hair is just like yours (except gray now) and I gave up trying to make it look thicker and focus on making it look its best. I've been a lot happier since then. Everybody has things they don't like about themselves! Hair happens to be ours. Just accentuate the positive things about yourself and maintain an upbeat attitude. If you carry yourself in a positive confident way, no one will even notice your hair. Thanks for posting this! I'm going to send the link to my daughter who also inherited the same hair. xo
I have thin hair genetically and I have bald spot too 😢 I literally cry everydaybut your video makes my heart warm again. And right now I'm on Red Light Therapy, eating healthy food, taking zinc and follicare vitamins. I hope this treatment works. And I apologize if my english isn't good enough. Thanks to provide this platform for people who has fine hair. Trully blessed :)
Your English is perfectly fine. We Americans most of us anyway only speak one language and that is English. So you are ahead of us!
100% agree about the layers..why do they do that??? It’s so irritating it just makes your hair thinner and limper! UGH!
The best is a one length blunt cut..so I do it myself now and save $
I love all one length bobs...very classy.
For the last three years I have cut my own hair. It's so easy to cut in a blunt cut, and it looks the same as when I went somewhere & had it cut. My hair is very limited with what can be done with it because it's sooooo baby fine. I hate it, and sometimes wear a hairpiece or wigs.
I agree, and I cut my own as well!
It really depends on your hair. Some ppl who are thinning can benefit with layers
I heard that a blunt cut is also best for thin hair. So why don’t the hairstylists suggest this to us? Frankly don’t think I have ever had a really helpful hint regarding my hair all these years from any hairstylist. And my hair has always been thin and straight and fine.
you are the only person i’ve ever seen in my life that has thin hair like me. i am only 13 and i am trying to take care of my hair early to hopefully be able to have more hair when i’m older. i love your video and dry shampoo is my life savor!!! love the vid.
Hey so I'm also a girl who has struggled with thin haired for so long and well it does get overwhelming at times, specially because it's so hard to find videos on how to care specifically for thin hair. This video was so helpful thanks you so much!
I am so glad it could help
I agree. It seems we thin haired ladies have been forgotten by the hairstylists. I personally think that most hairstylists do not like to work on ladies with thin hair. Because the stylists just don’t know what to do with it.
I used to have a decent head of hair but lost so much of it due to a brain tumour, especially from the top of my head. I lost a lot of my confidence. I'm happy I found your channel. It helps to see other people who have hair density like mine. I take a lot of tips from you to manage my hair situation. Thank you so much for helping people like me
I have the exact same thinness of hair as you except that mine is straight! Sadly it makes me very self conscious, even though I try not to let it. I'm so glad I found your inspiring videos! 🌻
Same hair as you!
Finally!! I’ll definitely be checking out your channel more, I have thin and very fine hair and it’s hard making it look more voluminous. Lately I let it dry naturally a lot cause it’s got a decent curl to it, and I try not to use too much heat. Still experimenting with products that work for me. I get a little self conscious about how thin it looks sometimes cause most people around me have thick hair.
Great positive tips for thin hair! They are REALISTIC... that helps a lot. I have androgenetic alopecia female pattern and obviously thin hair. When we embrace our condition knowing that there is no magic that we must learn to manage the hair we have and make it look gorgeous life gets easier. You look beautiful girl and your hair is lovely too!!!
This is so right
Right. Sad but okay. What haircut do you recommend? I am trying to grow long but doesn't work. Short shows all my scalp. So hard for me. Difficult.
I'm balding due to a brain tumour. The top of my head is worse than your's now. And i used to have thick, long hair. I did the tips you have mentioned. You are a lovely, positive person. I'm subscribing because i really loved your happy energy and you provided actual helpful tips for hair like our's. Watching other RUclipsrs advise on how to manage thin hair when they have such thick, beautiful hair was so unrelatable. I really wish we had thick hair though..... would have made me so happy. Sometimes this illness gives such hard reminders it gets very upsetting
Thank you for this video, its a struggle everyday and totally understand. I try to accept it and move on....putting life in perspective really helps me deal with it. Best wishes and so happy I found your channel
Thank you! I have insanely fine hair naturally, and none of the "fine hair" videos I watch are from people with actually fine hair. Thank you for the advice!
My hair is identical to yours and I do agree with all your tips, specially with the no-layer tip! My hair never looked worse than when I had layers.
right! I don't get it when hair dressers think my hair will look thicker with layers XD
Yes, thank you for sharing. I too have hair as thin. When younger I permed it. Then wore short and spiky. Now. searching. Feel better knowing I'm not alone. You seem so sweet.
Thank you, finally a video about thin hair by someone who actually has fine thin hair! I too have fine thin hair. The only plus is it dries in a few minutes!
I've had thin hair all of my life...I am much older than you. I most always grew my hair long past my shoulders because what I do at night is to pin curl with bobby pins (the thin ones). It works great! It keeps my hair from breaking (pillow case does this) and it's easy to remove them & comb it out gently in the morning. My mother did this also! So having long hair with curls makes my hair looks like I have more hair! I style my hair in different ways up or down.
I liked your ideas!👱♀️
I have fine hair, but a bit more of it. However, I agree with all of your tips! I use to hate my hair but once you learn what works for your hair you can begin to love it. And just like anything else, there are advantages to having thin hair. It doesn't take long to blow dry, curl or flat iron.
For my hair I can not condition it. Only light weight leave-ins work well if I use them sparingly. I also need a good clarifying shampoo. Enjoying Acure clarifying shampoo right now.
On the diet front, I take collagen powder daily which I have found is a great way to help strengthen and improve the health of your hair! It will not give you more/thick hair, but I've found that it does help those hairs that normally break to grow. It's great for nails and joints too. A win, win. Great videos. I've been enjoying them.
I have had fine hair my entire life but i used to have a ton of it.... now that i am getting older it has thinned out quite a bit. This video was so relatable, informative, and you are simply a charm! Thank you! 🙏🏼😌
hair extensions and toppers work wonders for fine and thin hair. I have fine/thick hair and wear extensions and everyone thinks I have extremely thick/coarse hair. Plus, it's great if you want length. But do clips, not tape, or glue
Thank you. Finally a utuber who actually has got fine thin hair. I'm nearly 50 and have battled with my hair for years. Tryed so many products all claiming to make hair look thicker and give unbelievable volume and was always disappointed. I have dreamed like you of long thick hair but it's never going to happen. So like you I try to make the best of what I have. My fine thin hair is straight so unlike you when it's just hair dryed it looks flat and limp so my routine is shampoo and condition in evening and also use leave in spray conditioner( Palmers leave in spray conditioner doesn't seem to weigh hair down but only few sqirts) and let hair dry. In morning I spray with cold water until damp the put in styling products and always use thermal protection spray. Using osmo range at moment. They do a hair thickening liquid which I think is great and dose make your hair feel and look thicker. Blow dry. Schwarzkopf got2b volumizing powder on roots when dry, gentle backcomb at roots. Bit of hair spray. The only hair dye I use is olia as it's gentle on hair. Colour not as good as some of the stronger but since using it I have found that I have less breakage and fallout.
Sounds like you have found the perfect solution and regimen for your type of hair. Good luck.
I'm so glad I'm not alone! I get hair envy so bad...😪 I've been even more insecure about my hair since the last guy I dated 'suggested' I would look better with long hair 😵. Needless to say, it hurt. Thank you for this video! You are so sweet 🌷
I hope you ditched that guy..Unless of course he was a hairstylist himself.
you're so cute. thank you Im a 53 year old grandmother but my hair was thin even when I was younger it has just gotten worse. still I've been working on that. Enjoyed your tips. God Bless
Great explanations! Also I feel using sulfate-free, silicone-free products help. But you are so spot on with everything!
Lisa Humphreys yes! My hair is so much healthier since I switched to products that are sulfate-free, silicone-free and alcohol-free. I also recommend using soft water if possible. I have a whole-house water-softener, but use gallons of distilled water when traveling. I have also used rain water, lake water and melted snow. If we think about our hair as expensive, beautiful silk, we will treat it with the gentle care it needs.
Wow, Bernardine L'Ermite summed it up perfectly below. You are stunning and sweet and kind... No one is looking at your hair and thinking, "Oh, too bad her hair is so thin." You're a beauty and sweet as you are beautiful! So have a fabulous life, lovely Kia. You deserve it.
I do agree with you that we are probably our own worst enemy when it comes to our hair.
I'm a woman logged in under a friends name.
I agree with the comments finally someone with really
thin hair I can relate to.
I am older than you and am now losing what little I do have.
Put it this way. I can put it all up in one Bobbi pin and have
to worry about it falling out.
Now getting bald spots same as my mother had.
You are very pretty and have youth on your side to detract from
it. Aging makes it much harder to find detractors.
Wigs are crazy expensive for a decent one and I find not comfortable.
I too cannot find the right alternatives to harsh shampoos, heat styling products
etc... My hair is dry and fly away and overnight greasy.
Thank you for the video. I actually think I had a bit more hair then you at 27.
Menopause did mine in. No longer grows much just less and less of it.:(
ur drop dead gorgeous! thank you for this video... i have the exact same hair type
you are
Wow I was always straightening my hair when I was younger. I have stopped along time ago. I also have thin hair and my hair is shorter. I always wanted long hair. Thank you for your positivity! You’re amazing!
aww
Cassia Obvata is great for thickening hair and coloring if you are blonde with some grey. it coats each strand and makes it thicker.If you are blonde to begin with it will add gold highlights. Anyone with any hair color can use Cassia to thicken hair, but it won't lighten dark hair to light.
I never heard of Cassia Obvata. Is it Safe to use? I’m a senior with dark blonde straight hair. No Gray.
I'm a thin hair, sista! 🙋♀️ thanks for the encouragement!
Thank you for the tips. Totally agree with your comment about “why do Hairdressers do layering on thin hair” they uses to do that to my hair as well. It looked terrible. What I found was I could have only two layers close together. That worked well for me. Very hard to find a hairdresser who knows how to cut thin curly hair well.
I have the same problem with thin straight hair which is even worse!
THANK YOU FOR THESE VIDEOS!
I seem to have pretty much exactly the same amount of hair as you, and tyhe last few years it has thinned out, due to high level stress and depression. I am on a healing path, but being confisent with thin hair is SO HARD! I have stopped using schampoo, I wash with rhassoul clay or egg, and rinse eith apple cider vinegar. I also just use pure aloe vera gel if I ever need styling my hair. Also using henna to dye it. It makes a huge difference to me cancelling out a whole bunch of harmful chemicals! It doesn’t work for everyone, but it can be worth trying for those whi cannot find good products for their thin hair :)
wow
I think chemicals of Any kind Are detrimental to the hair. I have dark blonde hair and I used to get highlights at one time. But I had to stop them because the chemicals in the highlights were causing my hair to thin.
I am 54, with thin hair my whole life just like yours and I have found that there have been 2 times that my hair was shinier, and healthier. One was when I used Nexxus Diametress, and Humectruss together, dried my hair upside down, then when I slept I put my hair above my head without laying on it also I used a wide tooth comb to comb it when wet. And in most recent years I have been using the no poo method, only I add a little witch hazel to the baking soda shampoo, and a little witch hazel to the vinegar conditioner with a few drops of pure rosemary oil to a bottle, then drip dry. This over time has made my hair stronger than ever before, and healthier and shiny. I had hard water when I used this, but tried a few things since moving where I have soft water, but am going back to the no poo because my hair has started thinning more. For the best results on this method, I would say to adjust the amounts of these ingredients to suite your hair.

You are adorable! I love your hair! I too have thin hair! Lost so much after having 5 children! I finally found an amazing hair dresser & you're rt, products matter! I've learned what does & doesn't wk & like you....gotta let the dream go of having long beautiful thick hair! I am grateful for what I have & know it could be way worse! Thx for all the positive comments! Merry Christmas!!
dry shampoo makes my hair look good for 5 minutes and after it makes it look even dirtier.
🤣🤣 same here 😑🙁
Dannah Ossi Same
I want some good non drying shampoo
I've watched a couple of videos about this topic, and all the girls in the videos had still a decent amount of volume in their hair, mine was always a lot thinner. Seeing someone with actual thin hair is really nice :3
Yes we are. Thin haired girls and it is sometimes very disheartening but on the contrary we are beautiful and blessed to have it
My hair is as thin as yours but straight and much longer so it looks terrible at the ends. I’ve worn extensions for the longest time which just made it worse but soon I’ll probably cut it to your length. It’s so cute! You’re lucky you have a natural curl 😊
Thank you girl
Love your personality, you are lovely to watch and listen to. I would recommend from personal experience, that a small amount of mousse into the crown of your hair after it has been dried (use a t-shirt not a towel!) partially, and then flipped upside down to blow dry works well for volume. Do not use towels to friction dry your fine hair. Air dry is best if you can afford the time, I agree with you there. Also, adding a protective heat spray is important, and when I feel my hair looks too flat, I will add some curls as they give dimension, and a false sense of thickness. Thanks for helping so many ladies out there feeling blue about thin hair they cannot change! We can change our attitude and support each other by sharing tips and hacks :)
I've always had curly fine hair but I had a fair amount of it until I discovered straighteners and dye (At the age of 14, oh how I wish I could turn back time!) About 6 months ago I decided to stop straightening my hair unless it was a special occasion and therefore tied it up a lot (like, at least 10 hours of the day) because I wasn't a fan of the curls - and this meant that I was actually pulling my fine hair out behind my ears! Now I wear it loose or clipped back loosely and low down. Oh, and I also have a alopecia spot at the back of my head probably down to stress but thankfully it is easy to hide. Be kind to your fine hair and embrace the curls I agree! Also, try not to stress :)
THANK you for this
My hair is fine but not curly. I always wanted curly hair.
finally someone who has thin hair same as mine. and because of this reason I subscribed😊
Lovely video. Thank you so much! My hair is so thin ... think SPIDER WEB thin! I already air dry it ... or sometimes I'll mix the hairdryer with air drying. Following your recommendations, I will now defo try using the hairdryer with head upside down ... and using less heat. Tbh I went to a hairdresser the other week and had it layered and slightly trimmed (it is long, nearly down to my butt) and it seemed to work quite nicely for me. (I have to try to create some volume cos I do a style of partner dance where long flowing hair is supposed to ... well, flow ... and we have to be able to fling it around as we spin etc). I'm 100% with you on using minimal amounts of product - my thin hair gets weighed down so easily! My biggest challenge is letting it down whilst also keeping it out of my face while dancing. Constantly experimenting with different gadgets and gimmicks to achieve this ... with limited success... Thin hair stuck to a sweaty face is the last thing in the world that you want as a dancer! :)
I have thin hair. I am so sad about it, really, because I don’t want short hair. I have had short hair all my life. I’m now almost 34.
I have felt the same way, I’ve always wanted super long and full hair, but I’ve recently come to the conclusion that it’s the 21st century and NO ONE has to have the hair they don’t want! I ordered some hidden crown hair extensions so I can go ahead and start experiencing the hair I want to in my daily life! SO many women do it and no one even notices, so why don’t I? 🤷🏻♀️
Danielle Liechty cause when my boyfriend touches the hair he touches the stupid wig or extensions in there. That sucks.
Rahel Pfurz I mean that is true.. but your partner should be supportive and understand that it’s a girl thing!
Cutey Peridot to. be be
My thin hair product I can’t go without is Aveda “damage control” it is weightless and will extend time between trims allowing you to grow your hair longer then before.
Thank you I must try this
Today 2 sep i also have so less hair
But today full of confidence
Let meet 1 month after and show u it postive effect
Just wait and excite😍❤❤
I have thin hair as well. Thank you for sharing this with us. Loved your video
My hair is just as thin as yours. My sister has half as much hair and my mom is bald. I had already discovered all your tips on my own except the dry shampoo. Thanks for that tip. It's helping the volume issue. My hair is also very fine and stick straight, laying flat on my head. The dry shampoo, along with gently back combing is giving me some lift.
I too have thin hair like you. I'm daily worrying about my hair. Thanks for your video. I planned to keep vry small extension to show some volume. please tell your suggestion Kia☺️
Wow I finally found someone that has hair just like mine. My hair has always been thin, but since I got older it has got thinner. And that is scary.
I love your hair in this video!!!! It is almost identical to my hair. I know this is a couple of years old but can you share how you got it like this and what products you used? I’m desperate to recreate it! I’ve gone through your other videos and can’t find anywhere that you share products (apart from the aveda one). Thank you so much 🙏
I hv really thin hair and ur video gave me so confidance💜
Tip # 11: Only apply conditioner to the ends of your hair. Conditioner applied all over weighs down your hair and adds to the oils on your head. I know it sounds scary, but I promise it won't leave your hair hard to derange or style.
brandi mccormick since I switched to silicone-free conditioners, I am able to use conditioner on my entire head without it going flat. I also add rosemary and tea tree essential oils to my silicone free conditioner and give myself a mini-scalp massage every time I wash my hair. Rosemary oil has been clinically proven to stimulate hair growth as well as minoxidil, and tea tree oil controls sebum production and yeast overgrowth to keep follicles healthy.
I have heard this before.
I also have thin, fine hair! My hair is naturally curly and very long. I have layers because it helps keep the weight down and allows my curls to spring up and look good, but it means my ends are very wispy. I have found that less is best when it comes to thin hair; less product!!! I shampoo and condition my hair twice a week. I keep it braided and pulled back most of the time. I never use hair spray or moose.
I have heard that pulling the hair back for a long period of time is not good for the hair and that it can cause hair loss.
67 yo thin long straight hair with bangs. If I had curly hair I would cut it. You look gorgeous.
thank you so much for making this video. I was feeling SO down today because of my hair, and hearing you talking about it really helped me xx
aww
yes I agree with no layers on thin hair👍👍👍
I agree about the haircut - blunt cuts are best. Layers may help a little with weighed down hair but they make the ends look really sparse.
I wore glue in hair extensions for 3 years and i have finally taken them out, made an appointment to get my hair coloured and cut and i am actually looking forward to embracing my new thin short hair. I never dry my hair either and only use heat on occasions when i am going out
Thats so cool! I am so excited for you!
Sounds like a good plan. Have you thought about using a deep conditioner on your hair before you have it colored? Because the chemicals are very damaging to our hair. Or you could call your hairstylist ahead of time and tell her what you are planning to do.
I have thin hair and have had it all my life. I change things and now my hair went from being not able to grow past my chin / shoulders to now so long that when I drive the car it anchors my head in the back and I have to pull my hair to the front because it's to my shoulder blades in the back in length. Girlfriends, you can grow your hair long! I'm 51 and always wanted to have long hair. The key is to use the right products in your life, not synthetic toxic ones!
Can I ask what you are using? Grtz, maaike
I finally found the right video for me. Thanks for the tips. And You are beautiful !
My hair is also thin... just like yours. I, too, have always wanted long, thick, voluptuous hair. And, my husband likes long hair on females. But, my hair gets flatter and thinner as it grows. Plus, I take medications. Thanks for your tips. I welcome more from you. Happy volumizing!
I just read a tip on RUclips that if you have fine hair you should get a blunt cut.
I'm nearly 70 and always struggled with thin hair. I've had really good luck keeping it long. It's so fine, if it rubs on my shoulders it rubs away , so I keep it up in a braid most of the time. I've had great luck with sponge rollers on the very top of my head so my ends are curled I sleep with a wet head. Sometimes put a towel on my pillow. Mostly it's basically dry except the curlers when I go to bed. I use a gentle shampoo, no heat appliances, a bit of scalp conditioner after my shower, a bit of argan oil on the ends of my hair. Once I stopped dying it , it got so much more healthy. I love having thin hair
Great! Thank you...i am satisfied now with my thin hair thanks to you and i agree with you No layers! :)
I’m going to try a blunt cut next time.
I have the same kind of hair. It has its benefits as you can wash it every day. Also if you run a fine tooth comb through it it looks as though you have been to the hairdresser. The hair is soft as silk.
Be careful of dry shampoo. It can clog 'pores' of your scalp... it's like having an oily face and choosing to just powder your face for a few days and not wash it. Yuck.
Yikes
Huh, i always wondered why dry shampoo never worked for me. It seemed to make my hair look oilier
Thank you! I have genetically fine blonde hair, too.
My daughter and i have thin hair and my 85 year old mother maybe its a family thing? Im going to subscribe. I thought we were all alone
Thin hair. Oh my! And trying to grow it out. Thanks for the tips.
I'm another one with the same problem, but you really helped a lot with these tips. Thank you buddy! And love ya ☺
Coming across this video after years of hair foibles, including perms to create hair volume, has been very helpful for my next visit to my hairdresser! The points Kia has made hit home...#7 and #8 especially. The most helpful tips were #1 and #3; and the rest were helpful too, of course! I am finally ready to accept my thin hair more than I have in the past. Thank you, Kia!
AMEN! No layers! When I was younger I could never understand why I always was discontent after a fresh haircut until I realized that hairdressers were always putting in layers! Now I have a bob and I guard the front of my hair like a bulldog keeping it nice and blunt. Some layers and texture in the back is fine on a bob. But NEVER layer the front!
Apply black Jamaican castor oil on your hair it will really work I also had thin hair from my birth but now they are fine and it will increase your hair growth.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤................
How do you use it ?
We all want mermaid hair😢😢
Hi thin haired sister!! I'm glad I found you all the way in Canada. I have thin curly hair too and I agree with all of your tips. I have the hardest time right now that my hair is not only thin but after having a child, my hairline is receding but I am trying to OWN it and go with it...Wish me luck lol!!!
FINALLY! Someone who has naturally curly, baby fine hair!
Even hair extensions to add volume doesn't work as the clips peek through the fine hair. Some people back comb it, to try to hide the clips, but back combing can cause split ends, so not worth the hassle.
hair toppers and half wigs work. I have fine hair, and no one can ever tell on me. Been wearing for years
really boosts us thin haired
Thank you so much, your hair looks a lot like mine. My haidressers keep telling me that I need layers, but they never looked good with my hair. I am trying to grow it out but it takes for ever. Do you know of a natural product that helps hair growth? There are many ideas out they, but I did not find one that truly helps. Some products make my hair worse.
Yeah..thats strange..I would not do layers..:) When it comes to products, we are all different and different things work for us. I personally find eating healthy #1, I use the shampoo from the brand Whamisa atm and I LOVE it! Best natural shampoo I have ever tried! :) and other than I try to simply not use too many products on my hair which also works :)
Wow.Your hair is literally the same as mine.You are very inspiring
Thin, fine, curly hair here, too.
Take Vitamin B12. It is amazing. I always took multivitamin with iron, biotin and fish oil but since taking B12, my hair does not fall out that much. You have to use a clarifying shampoo also sometimes or more often if you use lots of products on your hair.
Thanks very much for the tips especially Vitamin B 12.
