SUMMARY: 1) Your hair can't be too long. Her hair was waist length and weighed her roots down, is now 'bra strap length'. 2) Use dry texturizing shampoo to help give lift and volume to combat oil. her fav is in the description. 3) Get roots very clean, moisturize ends. shampoo is in description. Don't put moisturizer on roots. 4) Bleached hair absorbs oil better. Don't overdo it and damage your hair beyond no return but if considering highlights it will also help with oil and help your hair style better. 5) If hair is extremely healthy (not colored/processed) and you want to curl your hair put in minimal conditioner and no leave ins or sprays. Your fine, virgin, straight, healthy, hair doesn't need any moisture or oils, that will only relax the curls. 6) Mousse is better than hairspray. A lot of hairspray on fine hair creates crunch and mats. Mousse more touchable and effective. Flexible hold hairspray after is okay, not firm hold. 7) Go with smaller barrel when curling because you know your hair will loosen up anyway. 8) Curling hair before styles (braiding etc) gives volume and helps styles hold. Braids look different with curled hair, more 'bubbly' and voluminous. 9) Pomade better than oil better for frizzy ends bc it won't loosen the curl like oil would. very damaged ends could use a tiny bit of oil on the very very ends.
Can you please do a video going from wet just washed hair to your everyday styled look with drugstore products. I love the way your hair looks but ya girl is a poor college student 😂😆
While we could always use more of these :) Kayley has done a few which would help you out! Just look through the videos - she has some "from clean to dirty three days" type videos and she tends to recommend the Kristen Ess and Herbal Essences products which are both drug store throughout her videos. It might take some mixing and matching, but until our girl has time, this might help!
Thank you for talking about the struggles of fine, THIN STRAIGHT hair. Girls with the opposite type of hair think their STRAIGHTENED hair is the perfect kind of hair, therefore they wish they had straight hair. All the thick haired girls whine and cry about how good we have it, how we have the easiest hair to manage and deal with. It makes me SOOOO mad every single time I hear it, and I feel completely alone in my own hair struggles. They have no idea what it's like to not be able to do ANYTHING with your hair. Or how it immediately separates in to tiny, scraggly oily strands that want to just stick to you if you don't use any products. How it makes you look like a wet rat most of the time, people think you're dirty because you look greasy. God forbid you have oily skin like me too, hello acne. If you wash it too much it just gets oilier, but it looks best when it's freshly washed. I only wash my hair twice a week, it still doesn't look nice when it's not washed, despite what people say about your hair not getting as dirty as quickly when you go longer between washes. Still VERY noticeable that it's oily. But it's healthier to go longer without washing it, and it makes it take a LITTLE bit longer to get oily. Like one extra day. They don't know how the tiniest breeze turns our hair into a bird's nest of a thousand painful tangles, but brushing your hair more than once a day will make it an oily mess. Girls with thick frizzy hair think they have to use a million products to smooth their hair down when they really just need some moisture and to stop using heating tools. Thin haired girls have to use a bunch of products to make their hair just look NORMAL and not over dry or over moisturize and weight it down. And damage actually makes it look better! To a point of course. Once it's super damaged, it looks and feels like fried straw. Thankfully our hair does better with bleach than other types. It is a CONSTANT battle for balance that just gets overlooked as "Oh you can do whatever you want with your hair, you're so lucky!" Girl I haven't been able to curl my hair in YEARS. I have given up styling my hair at all, it's so ugly. I just let it be its natural flat self, since thick haired girls say we can do that with our hair. "You can just wash it and walk out the door and look great!" And it looks horrible lol. There are no positives to fine thin straight hair, besides not having to do much with it if you cut it all off.
Madison Crum I relate to everything! Such a stupid thing to worry about, but I’ve cried many times over my hair because it literally NEVER looks good. Considered shaving it but my parents would kill me. I’ve tried waist length hair, I’ve tried a bob, I’ve tried no layers and layers, I’ve tried different styles. l don’t know what to do.
She has one from a few years back that I actually used for my grad school graduation! There's one with a pretty side braid that I love. It will take some searching but I know it's here!
Can we please get a tutorial for the mousse to curls with hot tool. I cannot for the life of me get anything to curl my fine straight hair and it is killing me.
I feel you. Hairdressers are always so full of themselves when I tell them "oh no don't bother, the waves won't stay anyway" after they offered to style my hair following the haircut. They tell me stuff like "so far I curled every head" and I just give in and watch them struggle. You can always tell when they're getting frustrated because it's not working and they're spending way too much time on this, they become silent and glimpse at the watch :D
I’m so grateful to have found your channel! My long hair was effectively a curtain, sheet- if you will- of hair so i cut it into a lob for style- now I see a way out 🙌
my sister and niece's hair are so fine, i could literally brush their hair, put the brush down to braid it, and it already be tangled again. my niece's hair would literally catch lint from the air and tangle around it.
What helps me is Argan oil. I take a tiny bit of my hair serum and put a drop or two of Argan oil on top, warm it up in my hands and spread it around in my damp hair (from the chin down). After this I blowdry my hair with a paddle brush until it's about 90% dry. The oils and blow drying it with a paddle brush makes a real difference in how tangled it gets.
Try adding apple cider vinegar (organic) to your hair washing routine (there are many videos on this topic). It makes my hair nice and soft. Also, try braiding it. It REALLY keeps my hair from getting tangled. If I put my hair up in a ponytail, it gets tangled. If in braids, it doesn't!
My hair is fine and straight, but also very thin (sparse). I used to have it long, down to my waist, but could never do anything with it. It always looked scraggly and just bad, so I got it cut into a pixie cut and I've never been happier with my hair. It looks full and fluffy and I can actually style it quite a few ways. So sometimes the nuclear option is worth a look too.
You mean her personality? Because to me she looks more and more like a cross between Cara Delevigne and Emilia Clarke. And her personality is kinda similar to Emilia's too, maybe with a dash of Melissa Joan Hart. :)
i'm 49. i started lightening and coloring my hair in my late teens. part of the reason was for what she mentioned here - i had fine and oily hair. keeping it "damaged" helped me keep it somewhat styled. i kept this up until the last few years when we just can't afford it. fortunately, its not as oily as it used to be. but the good news, ladies, oily hair and skin will keep you more youthful looking longer!! up until the last year, people thought i was still in my 30s. the last year has been stressful due to health issues, so i have some fine lines around my eyes that are beginning to tell on me, but people still think i'm early 40s. september, i'll be 50. there's always a silver lining to every problem.
In this video your eyes looked like liquid silver! So beautiful! And thanks for the fine hair tips. I'm forever desperate for help with my super fine hair!
Try braiding your hair. I prefer pigtailed braids because they're more comfortable when resting my head back. I find that braids make my hair less tangled. I don't like the waves I get from the braids but maybe you will!
I twist my hair and put in a bun semi wet. When I take it down I have wave/ curls that give a lot of volume to my hair. I have fine straight hair. Sometimes the curls come out and I can tousle them and go or it just gives me the volume I need and I curl it . Mainly it gives lots of volume every time.
I always put it in a bun, or if I want it's wavy the next day I braid it when wet (I find Dutch braids work better as they're tighter). Any time I leave it out I always get bad kinked bedhair on one side of my head that just won't go away
Would you make a video on pomade? The only time I ever see it is in the men's section and have no idea what it could do for the texture of long fine curled hair.
Poorstargazer23 Kayley’s recommendations got me into using Kristin Ess products (found at Target) and there are two great pomades from that brand that I use a lot! I recommend their water-based pomade for adding texture and hold to styles, and their shine pomade for taming baby hairs and flyaways. If you want to see them in action definitely check out Kayley’s Kristin Ess reviews! Hope this helped :)
GIRL YES I have fine flat hair, it'd been pretty consistently between shoulder and boob length for the last 10 years and I cannot get it to have any shape! I used to have longer hair and would struggle with split ends and major dryness. This video is everything I needed
I second this request!!! So far I have found Kenra Volume Mousse Extra and also Bumble and Bumble Styling Creme (works as a mousse when used with heat; more like a gel when used without heat) :)
Omg. You literally described me. So i just started high school and have super long hair down my butt. And tryied styling it a bit but nothing worked it just weighed down. i really do like my hair though and I'm scared to cut it. Maybe I'll trying chopping it off eventually. Great video by the way.
OMG! Someone else who “damages” their hair for the texture change so that you don’t have to shampoo as often! I get a curly perm in my hair every 8 months or so . . . I not only get the curls but the courser, slightly damaged hair from the perm lets me go several days before washing. It’s a miracle!
I understand you because i have one meter hair and i'm going to cut it off next week 😁 because i'm tierd of it and i want to be able to do more hairstyles 👍
You look like Margot Robbie in this video.❤️ Thank you for the tips! My hair is so fine it’s like my full ponytail is about a third to a quarter of my sister’s ponytail. It’s super straight too so this helps. 😘
I wore those EXACT shoes to every dance freshman and sophomore year. And i have very fine fine straight hair and it's making improvements... but needs these tips. THANK YOU!!!
this was THE BIGGEST HELP. I have super straight hair that has only been slightly bleached. I was so mad I curled my hair twice last Saturday... twice WITH a really good hairspray & it only took 15 minutes until it was super straight again. Sooooo frustratingggggg. You’re amazing. Saving my life.
your energy is always so uplifting and lovely, i always get so cheered up when watching you, no matter the topic! this just happened to be perfect as i definitely have very fine, VERY straight hair! for me, what ended up working the best was cutting it 😂 the longer it was, the duller and straighter it looked, now it actually looks pretty bouncy and has more volume!
We literally have the same hair and during the time when I highlighted my hair blonde, my hair life was so much simpler! But it’s so expensive that I grew it out and now I once again have the shiniest, finest, straightest, silkiest, flattest hair in the history of the world 😭. It’s so unfortunate that something that is so helpful to my hair really has to be done by a professional to look good.
I have super fine natural dark blonde hair which used to be platinum blonde. I stopped bleaching my hair because the chemicals were making it thin on top and I was scared. I’m always looking for ways to add more volume to my hair. I just read on here that a blunt haircut is good. I will ask for it next time I go to the salon.
Omg no one will read this but....this type of hair is almost exactly mine.... I thought I was crazy lol. I kept telling my cousin who's a stylist that I don't have that "smooth Barbie hair" that keeps a style. It's pretty fine and gets heavy easily with products or oils/touching. The best thing I've done is what you said: cutting it a little shorter, but also I've gotten my hair less oily by washing it only about twice a week, whereas years ago I would wash it pretty frequently... but my hair is still very virgin (I don't want to damage it) so it's still a bit flat.
Everything you described about fine hair has been my struggle all my life! I love long hair but it's always too heavy. I crave that voluminous Victoria's secret hair! Just this wknd I cut my hair in a lob! Shortest it's ever been in my life!!! I need to relearn everything Haha. Which mousse do you recommend? I haven't used one in a long time cuz I felt it weighed my hair down. I've been using a volumizing spray instead.
zoeyc203 wet sets are the best. They last the longest. If your hair is thick and long it means you would probably have to sleep in it. Lottabody setting lotion is an oldie but goodie styling product and is cheap.
Can you do some hairstyles that are specify like for people who suck at doing hair?! I'm ok-ish at doing hair but my shoulders suck from dislocations and my fingers aren't super dexterous so I struggle trying to do a lot of the tutorials!
I used to have very fine and very flat oily hair, but when I bleached it and started curling it, it made a lot of difference. Another tip that I actually learned from Kayley - let the hair cool in your hand after curling it. It makes the curls last so much longer!
Maybe I missed it, but is there a mousse you recommend? Thank you for these tips, I love them!! And I love your videos so much, been a long time sub :))
Oh, nope I forgot. I haven't used a lot of mousse lately (since going blonde I don't need it like I used to). I like the Matrix Oil Wonders Volume Rose Plumping Mousse and the Kristin Ess Mousse :)
I used to have very oily hair and had to wash it almost everyday, I ended up spending a whole summer only washing my hair with water (sounds crazy I know), scalp massages, and a boar bristle brush theres vids on it, and it has been so helpful, and for a bit it was greasy (why i did it over the summer) but it made my hair so much healthier and it hasnt been greasy since ( i started using shampoo and conditioner again) definitely recommend if you can get yourself through the greasy stage (hats, constarch/cocoa powder, and scarves are your best friend!)
Hey kayley I was wondering if you know why hair changes colour on its own with sun absorption...in the winter/fall my hair is dark brown with red in it and it looks really red in direct sunlight but in the spring/summer it’s this golden caramel blonde colour....it’s still dark brown mostly but especially in direct sunlight it’s looks like a dirty blonde shade and I have never had any colour or anything done to my hair other than cutting it and occasionally heat styling it
I have wavy to curly (2c/3a) hair and it used to be bra band length but I cut it to just above my shoulders cause the length weighed down my curls. I struggle with getting lift around my roots.
BEST video ever for fine straight hair! I agree with everything you said. I found that a modified wet set gives the longest lasting, moisturised and shiny yet voluminous curls on my hair. I do this instead of using hot tools on it. Fine hair gets more easily damaged too.
Amen to that I have super fine hair and it neverrrr holds curls when done with hot tools - wet sets are my absolute holy grail and using a setting spray with it will hold curls in my hair for three to four days afterwards
When you were prepared to attempt curling your hair tomorrow, and washed, conditioned, and moisturized before having seen this video.... Kayley: if you're hair is suuuuper healthy, don't condition your hair before trying to curl it 😡 maaaaaan, now you tell me lol
I remember my hairdo for prom, my hairstylist put so much hairspray on my curls (thin hair) that when I arrived at the location my hair was completely flat and stiff, so I really feel your advice on mousse before hairspray!
The Herbal Essence shampoo you mentioned has sodium laureth sulfate in it, which is only going to strip your scalp of the healthy oils and kick your oil production in to OVERDRIVE in order to make up for the damage. Maybe you can only go 2 days between washings (even with hardcore dry shampoo??) bc you're using products with that ingredient. :( The Kristen Ess one is good and free from that harmful scalp-stripping crap. Once you go a few weeks without using sulfates, you'll find the hair lasts longer and longer as your scalp gets used to not kicking its oil in to overdrive. ♥
I don’t know if it’s just me but dry shampoo doesn’t work on me! I’ve tried so many times but it ends up just looking the same and not doing anything. The only thing that seems to work is some baby powder, which I know is probably not the best option.....
Suuuper helpful video! My hair is hip length, virgin, undamaged and fine and I struggle with exactly what you're talking about. My one question is: is heatless curling more effective than doing it with heat? What products should I use with heatless curling and not getting my hair crunchy/ unmanageable, matted and impossible to comb out afterwards! Maybe you could get a longhair model and curl their hair? That would be great (I volunteer! 😄) Also my wedding is coming up so these tips are much appreciated
I have virgin, untreated hair, and what you are saying is SO TRUE! My hair does not keep a curl at all! I have naturally straight hair and used to have waist-length hair until very recently, and I basically gave up on curling because it always fell so quickly!
which hair iron would you recommend for someone to super fine and bristle hair? I have been searching for one of the best one in the market but still haven’t found the ideal one. My hair is really fine and I don’t want to damage it/burn it with an iron as the one I was previously using. I am trying to let my hair grown and get thicker. Since about 8 months ago I don’t use any heat in my hair and I definitely can see a huge improvement. However I would like to do my hair at least once a week or in special occasions.
I can answer that. Go for it, except if your hair is very long and fragile. Works great and is more gentle to the hair than most other styling products (and cheaper). I can especially recommend doing overnight-curl-hairdos like two buns on the top side of your head with hair that's slightly damp from salt spray. Gives a very nice texture and volume the next day, even after the curls hung out after some time.
One more tip I have, since I have super fine straight hair, is using clip in or tape in extensions. When I started using extensions it helped my hair stayed curled. I assume its bc the extensions are meant to hold different styles that my hair just kind of followed suit.
I was bullied for my thick frizzy hair all my life so watching a girl with my then-dream hair wanting curls so badly does wonders for my self esteem tbh.
Hi can we get a PART 2? Drugstore products for fine hair AND a video showing how effective mousse is over hairspray! thankss! GREAT VIDEO!:D. this is SOOOOO HELPFUL ,YOU HAVE NO IDEA KAYLEY!
"Damage is actually your friend" OMG everything you said is too real. Definitely have dyed my hair to avoid washing it rather than for color. Word for word, everything you said describes my fine hair journey. Thank you for posting a real, true video for this hair type. It's rare in the RUclips world.
Another product that has really helped me keep a curl is setting lotion. You can get it at Sally's for very cheap, but I find that my curls last for days and days if I use setting lotion.
The brand "system professional" volume line, is a GAME CHANGER for fine oily straight longer hair! I've been using it for 5 months now, and my hair has never looked better! You only use a very small amount, dime size, for medium/long hair of shampoo. I have to wash my hair 5 times a week, because of gym. And do the hair mask once a week, to once every 2 weeks. And use the mousse after every shower. The mousse us actually a conditioner. It is a little pricey, and the bottles are small. But like I said, a little goes a very very long way. I learned the hard way the first use and spent 5 min trying to get all the product out. Haha. One bottle of shampoo lasted me 4 months. And I am still on my first tub of hair mask, 5 months in. The areolifter(mousse) lasts about 3/4 months depending if used after every shower, etc. But total game changer! I get it from my stylist, but I believe it is available at Ulta now. 😁
Very interesting! I also just realised that damage is your friend.. I was OBSESSED with healthy hair but now I finally broke free and got my highlights again, so happy! It would be very interesting to talk a bit about cuts, I struggle with heaviness or with weird shapes with certain lengths and layers
Loved this video!! I agree with other comments, I would love to see a part two to this video, where you show us your favorite products for your hair!! Like; •What oils you use/recommend for your ends •Your favorite styling tools •All your favorite types of dry shampoo/leave in conditioner/mousse etc. Something like that would be amazing 😊💕
This video was so sweet and helpful! My hair is fine, but also naturally curly so I don't have as many volume issues. My biggest issue is that it breaks so easily. Do you have any tips to minimize breakage?
I used to dye my hair my natural color in college to take care of the oil! Thankfully age has helped 😉 Can you put mouse in dry hair? Would you put mouse in even if you’re wearing it straight?
That’s the point with heavy hair. It limits you so much in basically everything. I had mid-thighs hair until last December and I cut it off, I couldn’t handle the monotony.
CAN WE DO A PART 2 - PRODUCTS TO USE FOR FINE/FLAT HAIR????? THANKS!!!!!!!

the drugstore/ affordable kind!!!!!!
Yes! I was dying to hear what her fave strong/firm hold mousse was.
bluebutterfly105m the beach babe line from not your mother’s is AMAZING
Yes I never use mousse because it gets way too sticky and just clots the hairs together and ugh
SUMMARY:
1) Your hair can't be too long. Her hair was waist length and weighed her roots down, is now 'bra strap length'.
2) Use dry texturizing shampoo to help give lift and volume to combat oil. her fav is in the description.
3) Get roots very clean, moisturize ends. shampoo is in description. Don't put moisturizer on roots.
4) Bleached hair absorbs oil better. Don't overdo it and damage your hair beyond no return but if considering highlights it will also help with oil and help your hair style better.
5) If hair is extremely healthy (not colored/processed) and you want to curl your hair put in minimal conditioner and no leave ins or sprays. Your fine, virgin, straight, healthy, hair doesn't need any moisture or oils, that will only relax the curls.
6) Mousse is better than hairspray. A lot of hairspray on fine hair creates crunch and mats. Mousse more touchable and effective. Flexible hold hairspray after is okay, not firm hold.
7) Go with smaller barrel when curling because you know your hair will loosen up anyway.
8) Curling hair before styles (braiding etc) gives volume and helps styles hold. Braids look different with curled hair, more 'bubbly' and voluminous.
9) Pomade better than oil better for frizzy ends bc it won't loosen the curl like oil would. very damaged ends could use a tiny bit of oil on the very very ends.
God bless you

The struggle of when you have this hair type and you also never learned how to style your hair so you just give up and let the hair win.

Try 60 years!
love this...can you add how to keep it from being tangled all the time? mine is straight and is always tangled 😥
my sister and niece's hair are so fine, i could literally brush their hair, put the brush down to braid it, and it already be tangled again. my niece's hair would literally catch lint from the air and tangle around it.
Have you tried clarifying and/or chelating it? You can get special shampoos for that. I absolutely understand your struggle :D
I had to cut my hair to get rid of this problem! Once my hair gets below my chest, the tangles will never end!
What helps me is Argan oil. I take a tiny bit of my hair serum and put a drop or two of Argan oil on top, warm it up in my hands and spread it around in my damp hair (from the chin down).

I didn’t think about it until you said it, but yes.
Yes! Now I can't un-notice it!!

You should do a new everyday makeup routine. You and your makeup looks so pretty!
Your eyebrows are AMAZING today 😍
what do you recommend doing with your fine hair when you sleep? do you recommend putting it in a bun or leaving it down?
I leave my hair down. I noticed if I leave it in a braid/ponytail/bun etc when I sleep it gets super tangled.
I always bun mine at the nape of my neck and it comes out nice and wavy in the morning!
Try braiding your hair. I prefer pigtailed braids because they're more comfortable when resting my head back. I find that braids make my hair less tangled. I don't like the waves I get from the braids but maybe you will!
I twist my hair and put in a bun semi wet. When I take it down I have wave/ curls that give a lot of volume to my hair. I have fine straight hair. Sometimes the curls come out and I can tousle them and go or it just gives me the volume I need and I curl it . Mainly it gives lots of volume every time.
I always put it in a bun, or if I want it's wavy the next day I braid it when wet (I find Dutch braids work better as they're tighter).
Any time I leave it out I always get bad kinked bedhair on one side of my head that just won't go away
Would you make a video on pomade?
The only time I ever see it is in the men's section and have no idea what it could do for the texture of long fine curled hair.
Poorstargazer23 Kayley’s recommendations got me into using Kristin Ess products (found at Target) and there are two great pomades from that brand that I use a lot! I recommend their water-based pomade for adding texture and hold to styles, and their shine pomade for taming baby hairs and flyaways. If you want to see them in action definitely check out Kayley’s Kristin Ess reviews! Hope this helped :)
So helpful!! Literally describing problems I can fix with my hair. I'd love some tips on how to help long, flat hair from matting?
Such a good idea!!!
GIRL YES
I have fine flat hair, it'd been pretty consistently between shoulder and boob length for the last 10 years and I cannot get it to have any shape! I used to have longer hair and would struggle with split ends and major dryness. This video is everything I needed
Love the video! Could you recommend a mousse to use ? X
Τι
I second this request!!! So far I have found Kenra Volume Mousse Extra and also Bumble and Bumble Styling Creme (works as a mousse when used with heat; more like a gel when used without heat) :)
Yes!!! Straight, fine hair girl here. So excited.
Omg. You literally described me. So i just started high school and have super long hair down my butt. And tryied styling it a bit but nothing worked it just weighed down. i really do like my hair though and I'm scared to cut it. Maybe I'll trying chopping it off eventually. Great video by the way.
I have fine, flat hair but I have LOADS of it. Will these tips still work?
OMG! Someone else who “damages” their hair for the texture change so that you don’t have to shampoo as often! I get a curly perm in my hair every 8 months or so . . . I not only get the curls but the courser, slightly damaged hair from the perm lets me go several days before washing. It’s a miracle!
I understand you because i have one meter hair and i'm going to cut it off next week 😁 because i'm tierd of it and i want to be able to do more hairstyles 👍
Your makeup!!!! Please teach us!!!!
You look like Margot Robbie in this video.❤️ Thank you for the tips! My hair is so fine it’s like my full ponytail is about a third to a quarter of my sister’s ponytail. It’s super straight too so this helps. 😘
I wore those EXACT shoes to every dance freshman and sophomore year. And i have very fine fine straight hair and it's making improvements... but needs these tips. THANK YOU!!!
this was THE BIGGEST HELP. I have super straight hair that has only been slightly bleached. I was so mad I curled my hair twice last Saturday... twice WITH a really good hairspray & it only took 15 minutes until it was super straight again. Sooooo frustratingggggg. You’re amazing. Saving my life.
Hey Kayley. could you do a video talking about current favorites? like different shampoos and everything you use to get your hair perfect. thanks
I've struggled with fine/straight hair my whole life and I did pick up a couple of tips. Thanks! Love you, girlie!
I got the straight virgin hair so this was a great video for me! Thank you!! Looking forward to next week's video 😊
your energy is always so uplifting and lovely, i always get so cheered up when watching you, no matter the topic! this just happened to be perfect as i definitely have very fine, VERY straight hair! for me, what ended up working the best was cutting it 😂 the longer it was, the duller and straighter it looked, now it actually looks pretty bouncy and has more volume!
We literally have the same hair and during the time when I highlighted my hair blonde, my hair life was so much simpler! But it’s so expensive that I grew it out and now I once again have the shiniest, finest, straightest, silkiest, flattest hair in the history of the world 😭. It’s so unfortunate that something that is so helpful to my hair really has to be done by a professional to look good.
I have super fine natural dark blonde hair which used to be platinum blonde. I stopped bleaching my hair because the chemicals were making it thin on top and I was scared. I’m always looking for ways to add more volume to my hair. I just read on here that a blunt haircut is good. I will ask for it next time I go to the salon.
Omg no one will read this but....this type of hair is almost exactly mine.... I thought I was crazy lol. I kept telling my cousin who's a stylist that I don't have that "smooth Barbie hair" that keeps a style. It's pretty fine and gets heavy easily with products or oils/touching. The best thing I've done is what you said: cutting it a little shorter, but also I've gotten my hair less oily by washing it only about twice a week, whereas years ago I would wash it pretty frequently... but my hair is still very virgin (I don't want to damage it) so it's still a bit flat.
remainingembers what shampoo and conditioner do you use?
@@anniebleveans3682 Paul Mitchell tea tree lemon sage "thickening" shampoo and conditioner. I like it!
So helpful for us fine-haired gals. Thank you! Also, loving your eye makeup here - what product are you wearing?
Don’t worry your hair is FINE hahaha
I have fine hair and I also have very thin hair and it’s not thick at all, so it does hold curls very well
What kind of haircut do you recommend for round faces? I have been soooooo conflicted on this which prevents me from even trying to do my hair
Why am I watching this?! I have super thick hair! 😂
Why haven't you made this video before. This describes my hair to a t and now I finally have tips to deal with it. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!
Haha! I have no idea!! I'm glad it helps!
@@kayleymelissa Thank you so much!
This is the most helpful video ever!! What mousse and texturising products do you recommend? X
I used to tease my straight hair (volume) and put hairspray all over. I would get dry hairspray clumps... not ideal
I can relate to this video
On my Sephora app and started looking at hair products and then this notification popped up. Perfect for my fine hair!
Haha, I love that timing!!
Everything you described about fine hair has been my struggle all my life! I love long hair but it's always too heavy. I crave that voluminous Victoria's secret hair! Just this wknd I cut my hair in a lob! Shortest it's ever been in my life!!! I need to relearn everything Haha. Which mousse do you recommend? I haven't used one in a long time cuz I felt it weighed my hair down. I've been using a volumizing spray instead.
Have you tried talcum powder before bed instead of dry shampoo? What's the difference in the results?
Hey kayley!
Can you please do a video all about thin hair tips n tricks
How do you curl super thick, super long, super healthy hair?
zoeyc203 wet sets are the best. They last the longest. If your hair is thick and long it means you would probably have to sleep in it. Lottabody setting lotion is an oldie but goodie styling product and is cheap.
Yay!! I love you and all of your tips!!!! Thank you!
Kayley what drugstore mousse do you recommend? I’m guilty of the hairspray addiction but I’d like to try your tip!
Can you do some hairstyles that are specify like for people who suck at doing hair?! I'm ok-ish at doing hair but my shoulders suck from dislocations and my fingers aren't super dexterous so I struggle trying to do a lot of the tutorials!
I used to have very fine and very flat oily hair, but when I bleached it and started curling it, it made a lot of difference.
Another tip that I actually learned from Kayley - let the hair cool in your hand after curling it. It makes the curls last so much longer!
Please please do a video covering your fave products for fine hair that you mentioned!!!!
Maybe I missed it, but is there a mousse you recommend? Thank you for these tips, I love them!! And I love your videos so much, been a long time sub :))
Oh, nope I forgot. I haven't used a lot of mousse lately (since going blonde I don't need it like I used to). I like the Matrix Oil Wonders Volume Rose Plumping Mousse and the Kristin Ess Mousse :)
Katie N yes I want to know this too!
I used to have very oily hair and had to wash it almost everyday, I ended up spending a whole summer only washing my hair with water (sounds crazy I know), scalp massages, and a boar bristle brush theres vids on it, and it has been so helpful, and for a bit it was greasy (why i did it over the summer) but it made my hair so much healthier and it hasnt been greasy since ( i started using shampoo and conditioner again) definitely recommend if you can get yourself through the greasy stage (hats, constarch/cocoa powder, and scarves are your best friend!)
yay! thank you for this. I 2nd the product recommendations video please. :)
This video was extremely helpful, thank you!
I love your cheerful personality :)
Do you think it’s easier to learn to braid with curly or straight hair?
I would be interested in a video that goes through the basic types of products and what they are for: Like a product 101
My hair is so fine ugggg
Hey kayley I was wondering if you know why hair changes colour on its own with sun absorption...in the winter/fall my hair is dark brown with red in it and it looks really red in direct sunlight but in the spring/summer it’s this golden caramel blonde colour....it’s still dark brown mostly but especially in direct sunlight it’s looks like a dirty blonde shade and I have never had any colour or anything done to my hair other than cutting it and occasionally heat styling it
I have wavy to curly (2c/3a) hair and it used to be bra band length but I cut it to just above my shoulders cause the length weighed down my curls. I struggle with getting lift around my roots.
This video was made specifically for me 🙋♀️ you should change your nane to 'The Hair Doctor'!!! Thanks a ton babe ❤️
BEST video ever for fine straight hair! I agree with everything you said. I found that a modified wet set gives the longest lasting, moisturised and shiny yet voluminous curls on my hair. I do this instead of using hot tools on it. Fine hair gets more easily damaged too.
Amen to that I have super fine hair and it neverrrr holds curls when done with hot tools - wet sets are my absolute holy grail and using a setting spray with it will hold curls in my hair for three to four days afterwards
When you were prepared to attempt curling your hair tomorrow, and washed, conditioned, and moisturized before having seen this video....
Kayley: if you're hair is suuuuper healthy, don't condition your hair before trying to curl it
😡 maaaaaan, now you tell me lol
I remember my hairdo for prom, my hairstylist put so much hairspray on my curls (thin hair) that when I arrived at the location my hair was completely flat and stiff, so I really feel your advice on mousse before hairspray!
The Herbal Essence shampoo you mentioned has sodium laureth sulfate in it, which is only going to strip your scalp of the healthy oils and kick your oil production in to OVERDRIVE in order to make up for the damage. Maybe you can only go 2 days between washings (even with hardcore dry shampoo??) bc you're using products with that ingredient. :( The Kristen Ess one is good and free from that harmful scalp-stripping crap. Once you go a few weeks without using sulfates, you'll find the hair lasts longer and longer as your scalp gets used to not kicking its oil in to overdrive. ♥
valarya I wholeheartedly agree with you!
Any tips for finefine but curly hair that tends to frizz very easily? Mousse, condition the ends and pomade?
I don’t know if it’s just me but dry shampoo doesn’t work on me! I’ve tried so many times but it ends up just looking the same and not doing anything. The only thing that seems to work is some baby powder, which I know is probably not the best option.....
SatiricalSunflower cornstarch works great
@@byeblckbirdxx I'll have to try that! Thanks :)
Suuuper helpful video! My hair is hip length, virgin, undamaged and fine and I struggle with exactly what you're talking about.
My one question is: is heatless curling more effective than doing it with heat? What products should I use with heatless curling and not getting my hair crunchy/ unmanageable, matted and impossible to comb out afterwards! Maybe you could get a longhair model and curl their hair? That would be great (I volunteer! 😄) Also my wedding is coming up so these tips are much appreciated
Can you do a video about natural semi-curly frizzed out hair?
I have virgin, untreated hair, and what you are saying is SO TRUE! My hair does not keep a curl at all! I have naturally straight hair and used to have waist-length hair until very recently, and I basically gave up on curling because it always fell so quickly!
That is why I do perms
which hair iron would you recommend for someone to super fine and bristle hair?
I have been searching for one of the best one in the market but still haven’t found the ideal one. My hair is really fine and I don’t want to damage it/burn it with an iron as the one I was previously using. I am trying to let my hair grown and get thicker. Since about 8 months ago I don’t use any heat in my hair and I definitely can see a huge improvement. However I would like to do my hair at least once a week or in special occasions.
what do you think about salt spray for fine hair?
I can answer that. Go for it, except if your hair is very long and fragile. Works great and is more gentle to the hair than most other styling products (and cheaper). I can especially recommend doing overnight-curl-hairdos like two buns on the top side of your head with hair that's slightly damp from salt spray. Gives a very nice texture and volume the next day, even after the curls hung out after some time.
I have discovered H&M dry shampoo (the pink one) and it is so texturizing/volumizing!
Will have a go HM dry shampoo
One more tip I have, since I have super fine straight hair, is using clip in or tape in extensions. When I started using extensions it helped my hair stayed curled. I assume its bc the extensions are meant to hold different styles that my hair just kind of followed suit.
I was bullied for my thick frizzy hair all my life so watching a girl with my then-dream hair wanting curls so badly does wonders for my self esteem tbh.
Please do a products video. Drugstore mostly. Plissssss 🤩
Hi can we get a PART 2? Drugstore products for fine hair AND a video showing how effective mousse is over hairspray! thankss! GREAT VIDEO!:D. this is SOOOOO HELPFUL ,YOU HAVE NO IDEA KAYLEY!
This video is my hair problems. Now I have to go slightly damage my hair with highlights.
"Damage is actually your friend" OMG everything you said is too real. Definitely have dyed my hair to avoid washing it rather than for color. Word for word, everything you said describes my fine hair journey. Thank you for posting a real, true video for this hair type. It's rare in the RUclips world.
Thank you! And also omg, i forgot about those Steve Maddens!!! So funny. Those and platform sneakers, omg.
Another product that has really helped me keep a curl is setting lotion. You can get it at Sally's for very cheap, but I find that my curls last for days and days if I use setting lotion.
Thanks for the tip about setting lotion. I will look for it in the store.
The brand "system professional" volume line, is a GAME CHANGER for fine oily straight longer hair! I've been using it for 5 months now, and my hair has never looked better! You only use a very small amount, dime size, for medium/long hair of shampoo. I have to wash my hair 5 times a week, because of gym. And do the hair mask once a week, to once every 2 weeks. And use the mousse after every shower. The mousse us actually a conditioner. It is a little pricey, and the bottles are small. But like I said, a little goes a very very long way. I learned the hard way the first use and spent 5 min trying to get all the product out. Haha. One bottle of shampoo lasted me 4 months. And I am still on my first tub of hair mask, 5 months in. The areolifter(mousse) lasts about 3/4 months depending if used after every shower, etc. But total game changer! I get it from my stylist, but I believe it is available at Ulta now. 😁
Very interesting! I also just realised that damage is your friend.. I was OBSESSED with healthy hair but now I finally broke free and got my highlights again, so happy! It would be very interesting to talk a bit about cuts, I struggle with heaviness or with weird shapes with certain lengths and layers
I have fine and thin hair... It sucks! Alopecia sucks! 😩
Loved this video!!
I agree with other comments, I would love to see a part two to this video, where you show us your favorite products for your hair!! Like;
•What oils you use/recommend for your ends
•Your favorite styling tools
•All your favorite types of dry shampoo/leave in conditioner/mousse etc.
Something like that would be amazing 😊💕
What sort of haircut do you have? I think my problem is that my hair is all the same length...probably not helping me haha!
i don't have your hair type at all but you are such a funny cute girl. i subscribed :)
Just watched a girl bleach her hair 3 time in a 24 hour period. Then came here and you said dont bleach it 3 times. Hahahaha
fine-haired lovelies: not your mother’s entire beach babe line is AMAZING!!! i’m a fine-haired lady with anemia and this line is a lifesaver!!!!
This video was so sweet and helpful! My hair is fine, but also naturally curly so I don't have as many volume issues. My biggest issue is that it breaks so easily. Do you have any tips to minimize breakage?
I used to dye my hair my natural color in college to take care of the oil! Thankfully age has helped 😉 Can you put mouse in dry hair? Would you put mouse in even if you’re wearing it straight?
That’s the point with heavy hair.
It limits you so much in basically everything.
I had mid-thighs hair until last December and I cut it off, I couldn’t handle the monotony.
This video is gold! #finehairteam
