can you test a non permanent silvery color on brunette hair, so that the hair gets a cool silvery shine? organic hair color please or revlon, directions or....
Got the amazing blunt bob that you talk about. It makes a world of difference with my fine hair. How do I keep it from looking triangular though? It seems like all the weight settles down to the bottom after a bit and then I have the dreaded triangle bob. lol.
I love these videos, but I would love to see some specifically for people who have fine, thin curly or wavy hair and leave their hair in its natural state and air dry. It’s hard for me to get a good cut because a totally blunt cut won’t work for me because it sticks out to the sides on the bottom too much. Hair stylists always tell me I need more layers for movement and to create the right shape, but they often mess up my hair when they do layers, and I wind up miserable. It sometimes cuts my hair in the middle of my curl and makes my curls point towards my face instead of away also. Very annoying.
Omg I wish hair dressers would listen to this. I can’t tell you how many times how many years I ask for blunt and hairdresser tell me I need layers and I walk out with the thinnest hair ever and they have a sorry look on their face. It’s so hard to find someone who does blunt
Given up too! im tired of hairdressers saying that u need to highlight hair to get volume n that they can give u the perfect highlights (even w/a pic) then u walk out with damaged orange or yellow hair! BUT THEY WANT THEIR PMT (no discount, no ownership) but there's a cancellation fee?! San Antonio, TX hairdressers need 2b in school longer!
@@MilkywayUme thank you for the recommendation. I will try the rosemary water. I unfortunately cannot do the oils as I get dandruff LOL so I have to wash my hair pretty frequently :(
Age 71. I have had long straggly hair since I stopped cutting and coloring it 2 years ago. I used to pay $150 plus tip for C & C, but today I couldn’t stand it anymore. It has gotten thin in front and straggly and unkempt in uneven back. I dropped in a cheap ($7.95 Great Clips) and the older stylist followed my request and cut it shoulder length straight/blunt all the way around. It took about 8 minutes! It looks so much healthier and thicker, and my gray/white hair absolutely shimmers with new life. What a coup. Yes, I tipped her $20. ❤ Then I stumbled onto this post after I got home and it looks like I did the right thing for my poor, thin, straggly hair. 👍
I've had bob length short hair many times before and I'm really considering getting n bob again cause my hair just feels bleh, but I'm scared cause currently my hair is the longest it's ever been even though it's really not that long. Update: I did the chop and I'm so happy my hair feels and looks so thick and so healthy now! Also all the frizz I previously had is gone. Girl do it, cut it! Long, stringy dead ends don't look cute or actually long at all.
Thanks for the video.I'm getting my hair cut, coloured and styled today, for the first time in 4 years. I have a mix of thin, wavy hair, chestnut brown supermarket hair dye and 2 inches of completely white roots. I like the blunt bob and might even try bangs. 😊
My hair is even thinner than it was when I was younger. My hair is still very fine but I also have significantly less of it. I was thinking of a bob cut but with my aging face, I’m not sure it will work. I like the idea of a shoulder blunt bob, I think I’ll start there. I wish I had enough hair in the front to do some layers; unfortunately I do not. Thank you for your videos on this. Even though you have a lot more hair than I do, I still get some good advice and ideas from them. 💕
I have skunk hair. Very thin and fine. You can see my scalp in places. I have a shoulder-length blunt bob for my fine blonde hair. I love watching you! You know all of the greatest tricks! Thank you so so much!
Thank you for watching and commenting Nancy! A shoulder length blunt bob sounds like the perfect haircut for you if your hair is thin and fine. Are you enjoying your haircut? I had that haircut for years and I LOVED IT. I just recently changed it up (a tiny little bit...it is still very similar).
Love the butterfly cut. It’s great that you give terminology to use when communicating to a stylist. He does want to color my hair but instead I ask for more shine. Grey for 4 years and love it.
Embrace your grey!!! It is SOOOO much work, time and money to fight against it and it is a losing losing battle. I am so happy for you that you just get shine added to that lovely head of hair! I love that!
You two are life savers. I have been searching for fine hair videos for years and you guys nailed it. I would love more videos on styling the bixie with volume products you both recommend Thank you
Last fall I made the mistake of getting a shag cut that my fine hair just couldn't get on board with no matter how much styling product or heated styling appliances I used. Now, as I grow that cut out, my hair is much more of a butterfly style, but I'm not too pleased. I'm on my way back to a long bob - slight layers, blunt ends, and slight A-line just below/around my collarbones. That style looks and feels great, my hair loves and rocks it, and my hair seems thicker and healthier with a Lob style.
Unlike most stylists these ladies love their craft and constantly learn, share and evolve. My respects ladies! It’s not the norm, most are lazy and uninspired. Haven’t we experienced the stylist with a gorgeous cut that can’t actually create it. Wish I could ask for the lady that cut my stylists hair. I haven’t seen a good cut on myself for years and I’m not going to chop shops.
Absolutely. A stylist who loves her craft is priceless♡ so many people get their license, realize they're not into it but continue bc it pays the bills.
Me it's the other way around, I ask for layers to have volume and she keeps sayi g my hair is too thing and it will be more up in the air. You know what I did last month?? I did the freaking layers myself, it's not perfect but it's still the best hair cut so far I have had.
Thank youuu so much Gabby. I watched your video 2 weeks ago and I went to the salon to cut my hair because I have very fine thin hair and I took ur recommendation on going for a long blunt bob and I asked my stylist to part my hair in the middle and omg I love it . Even when I have round face and you mentioned that maybe was not suitable for those with round face it did work for me . thank you sooo much because I walked into the salon knowing what I wanted and for my stylist was Crystal clear of what I wanted . Now I understand l the importance of knowing exactly what you want I and how to articulate it for best results
I have an appointment to cut my hair next week and this was very helpful as I have very long but very thin hair. I’m really considering the lob with fringe! My face is round and I do have a lack of chin. I hope it works out.
Just got my hair cut two days ago. But now I feel like I've seen this video beforehand lol. I got thin hair and got myself a "lob" ( long bob (I think that's what it's called 🤔) and I love it. Thank's for the video.
Hello! Do you have a video that shows how to create those big waves? I love the look you've shown in this video. It's almost a bend, not even a curl. Gorgeous. Thank you.
Loved your video for all the different hair length options for those of us who are used to a particular length. Thank you for introducing me to the lob, I just might try that one!
Great video and your interaction with Summer is excellent. I will definitely check out her channel. A video for women 70+ with finer and/or thinning hair would be great, especially in grey or silver tones. Thanks so much Gabi! 😘Roberta
This is why I'm here. Looking for something new and possibly shorter for the summer as I transition to gray in 2023 but also eventually going longer back into fall. Had already been thinking of going full Beth Button so Summer had me with the pics of Kelly Reilly!
Gabi, love your channel, you’re so fortunate to have such full, beautiful, versatile hair. Your hair may be fine, but you have an abundance. All the cuts you and Summer showed looked great, but none can be styled when your hair is wavy, thinning and frizzy through out. All the cuts are smooth and have blunt ends. Hair that’s frizzy can not carry these styles 🫤, without frying w heat tools.
Yeah, I have fine thin wavy curl kind of hair and it will get frizzy easy .. I have to have a straightener to smooth my hair out and I have hard time with front of hair smoothing out. I have a cowlick in the middle and it hard to get it to straighten out.. I know how you feel
I didn’t feel like any of these styles would work with my hair. When you combine super-fine hair with thinning, there just isn’t enough to work with. I’m resigned to wearing it long and keeping it up in a bun. And it’s a tiny, tiny bun :(
I agree w/the other 2 commenters. You have plenty of hair. You have as much as I USED to have. When I gather all of my hair into a ponytail, the part gathered up is about the size of the tip of my pinkie finger at best. And it's fine.....& wavy. And then on top of that, I've have what looks like a huge part .....I've always had it but now it's much worse w/my hair thinning out to about 1/3 the amount I used to have...& it was never a thick head of hair.
I recently went form having dreadlocks for 5 years to a blunt bob - I have fine, thin hair and both the dreadlocks and the blunt bob have done wonders for adding volume. I have recently added a curtain bang and had some "invisible" layering put in just to take some of the weight out at the base line and give me a bit more volume at the roots.
Great video! But, here’s my dilemma; how to get your stylist to understand what you’re wanting. I’ve tried to get a Bob with some movement & bangs with a some fine layers to frame the face. I must not know how to correctly describe what I want. The cut never looks right. Maybe you could help me with describing the cut. ❤️ from a fine hair lover of your channel.
Pictures are good and videos as well. I like when clients explain to me exactly what they are not currently liking about their hair or common issues they have had with previous cut. Example being "my hair is fine so I want movement but can't afford to have to many layers." Hopefully I'm explaining that well!
Love this post! I have fine to medium hair, luckily a fair amount of it, but am always looking for ways to tweak my style. The last couple years, have helped me to grow my hair out, so now I'm just below my shoulders with longer and minimal layers. Always looking for ways to give my style more volume at the root and density at my ends . Thank you thank you thank you !
I am so happy to hear that! If you like minimal layering and shoulder length but you want to change it up a bit, you can try face framing or adding a fringe! Check out Summer's channel because she has a whole playlist for fine haircuts and they are all SO STUNNING. I have learned so many cutting techniques from her.
Wow, thank you so much for sharing this I would’ve never thought you had thinning hair and as someone with the thin hair myself, I really appreciate this video.
Great.... haircuts !!! 👍Thank you Gabi ..for always keeping us up to date.. with New haircuts ..and what will help us .. to choose.. what's best ..for our hair type.. and our face!!! Thank you Gabi and Summer for sharing...I will share too ..🤗😊😁
My hair is super fine and thin due to thyroid issues. I wish I could pull off a shorter hair cut,or at least to my shoulders, but my face is so round and chunky I'm afraid I'm just going to look more chunky 😒
The same here😢 super thyroid fine, thin hair, and worst that I have skinny face, very oval that never make it possible to look nice as a woman 😢 no saloon have been able once in my entire life help me:( 😢
Hi Gabby there is fine hair and really fine hair like the first photos on ur channel!! Could u do a video on that type of hair and what can be done... PLEASE!! Thank you 🙏
Hey! I actually cut that client's hair and did a video on it (the before picture from the thumbnail). Here is the video: ruclips.net/video/ckfJNgwUM2s/видео.html
That is how my hair is so I was so surprised how much I like my butterfly/layered cut! If you prefer your hair to look as thick as possible in the front, a bob is your best bet. I wore my hair in a bob with no layers in my sides for yrs and it always made my hair look much thicker than it is and you can still get ample volume with one.
I have the same issue as well. My hair has density at the back but next to no density at the front. For me, the biggest solution to this issue is to keep the sides completely un-layered. I recently got a modified butterfly cut like Summer did and the density is significantly minimized at the front but I still love it because I have more volume at the crown. It is all about finding the cut that works the best for you and what your end goal is.
Trying to grow out layers from a short cut. Have fine textured hair, but lots of it with wavy in some spots straight in others. I think my hair might be demon possessed......it does the opposite of whatever way I try styling it. With product, without product....doesn't matter.🥴. I like watching all your tips in your videos. The suggestions from Summer were great.
I’ve been letting my hair grow out because it grows so fast it’s hard to keep a cut style. I did do a video last year of cutting my own hair. It was a blunt cut about to my shoulders with long layers. It made my hair look much thicker. It’s gotten thinner this past year.. how can I make longer hair look thicker?
Great video Ladies! I love all you ideas. My hair is not thin, but thick hair can be a pain as it can be too heavy. As much as i love the idea of the bixie, i wouldnt go there at this time as i just git finish growing out my pixie a year ago. But its such a cute style, maybe someday, just not now. I love the butterfly cut idea as that would solve some of my weight problems. Im going to bring that up to my daughter who is also my stylist too. I'd love to do a full bang too, but in the summer i sweat too much and i straighten my wavy hair. So that might be too much work once the heat hits. So ill stick with my curtain bangs for now. Thx for all the great ideas. 💖
The butterfly cut is a perfect example of a 90s haircut. It is beautiful because it is so bouncy and light BUT there is a lot of layering so you lose the baseline perimeter. If you hair is VERY fine and thin, I wouldn't suggest this because the ends will become too wispy. If you have a regular amount of density, you will be okay to get it as long as you go to someone who is skilled at cutting and can customize it to your hair.
These are all great cuts- the problem is finding someone that can give you the cut and do it right. Do you know or have any recommendations for the LA area ? Long shot I know - I’ve tried a lot .. and while most of my stylists have been wonderful.. thin fine hair just doesn’t seem to be their forte. Love your content! 😊💕
I hear that. It can be so hard to find that perfect stylist. I don't live in LA so I just don't know who is best there but when you call to make an appointment, I would request someone who specifically understands fine hair cutting techniques. Another issue could be in your styling. Are you good at styling your hair? Sometimes the missing link is knowing how to STYLE the cut more than the actual cut itself.
@@GlamGirlGabi That’s just it! My styling skills are dire.. I’m out of practice as I don’t/haven’t styled my hair in years & constantly wear it up because I can’t do the modern styles of today😕(that makes me sound ancient) Lol Hence why I’m a BIG fan of your channel to learn from YOU & have learnt so MUCH from you already🫶 I have below the shoulder hair one length with face framing around front area & am currently growing out my fringe/bangs but can’t curl my hair like you & most girls who aren’t hair dressers/stylist & it frustrates me I can’t 🙁 Can you suggest the best/easiest way to get the c👀l curls/waves that are all the rage these days please? Fastly approaching 50 & want to be ‘fabulous @ 50’ Not f….d @ 50 🤭 xcuse the language😂 BeYOUtiful 😘
@@YOU-niter There is a video I made specifically for this!!! It will be out this week. I teach you STEP BY STEP how to curl the hair in the simplest and most clear way possible. Stay tuned for that!
Enjoyed your video so much. I too have fine hair and am struggling daily with it. The hardest part is finding a good stylist that knows what they’re doing. I live in Denver, Colorado, and I don’t know where to start. Any suggestions? Also what lip color and product are you wearing in this video Gabby? Beautiful! You are so beautiful inside and out. Any tips, I’m here. Thank you.
I have fine naturally blonde hair so tend to go for a long bob which with soft waves looks good, but what would you recommend for a way to get waves without heat every day
Hi Gabi and Summer 😁. I loved this collaboration so much! You both are my favorite content creators! This was such a fun video, please do more collaborations💕.
I took Gabi's instructions for a blunt bob to my stylist last year and she's been following it to the tee ever since. Very good results; she was impressed with how just a few tweaks like the undercut at the nape of the neck worked. It's just a great cut, even looks good just out of bed. I also have very thin hair, always. And since menopause it became a bit thinner. I haven't heard this mentioned on Gabi's platform but I did begin low dose oral minoxidil from my dermatologist. We are at 64 mg at month 6. I did see the expected shedding increase at month 1 and since then a marked decrease in shedding and now baby hairs visible at my part and forehead where my hair line begins. My part is definitely narrowing. Not everyone can use LDOM but my derm says that it is effective but takes time. I might increase my dosage. And it is inexpensive.
Trying to find the right cut for my hair! I have fine hair but a lot of it. I’ve tried the lob and bob but it looks super full at bottom and weighed down at top. Any suggestions for the fine hair but lots of it? Looking for lift, movement, fun, and polished looks! Thanks!
I'd like to know the different kinds of bangs there are. Anytime I ever had bangs they only lay flat, and were greasy. Also how do you get the amazing hair like Dakota Johnson in the third 50 shades movie?
Wow! I just discovered Summer's channel yesterday & love you both! I showed my mom one of your haircut tutorials & the was my last haircut that I love.
I have such thin hair on top of my head and usually get a chin length blunt bob cut. However, I just can't get any lift on the top of my head where the hair is it's thinnest and looks so flat. I am afraid to get any layers for fear that it will make my thin, fine hair look even thinner. Any suggestions would be great .....Thanks for this video , It was so informative.
Roll it. Use wide rollers and plop it on top of your head. If your hair doesn't take to heat styling well (mine doesn't and will drop the curl unless I absolutely fry it) do pin curls. I don't use bobby pins because my hair is so fine they fall out. I use snap clips which work like those 90s slap bracelets and are more secure. I do 4 pin curls, two on top and one on each side. If I do it while my hair is damp, when my hair dries I will have curls that last 1~3 days. The looser you roll them the more "wave" you will get and less curl, which is great for volume and texture. You can also do this on dry hair (for when you aren't washing your hair) for a touch up, however it doesn't last as long. Bonus, rolling takes ten minutes tops for my entire head since less hair means less pins!
Just recently discovered your lovely channel and am now binge watching your videos. Also recently discovered Summers channel too, and like both of you I also have fine hair. Clearly your tips and tricks are working as you both look to have amazing (thick!) hair. I totally agree about a blunt (un-layered) bob being a great flattering cut for those of us not lucky enough to have a thick mane - something I’ve had variations of for years. Thank you for sharing your great knowledge 👏🏻. All the best from across the pond 😊🇬🇧
Thank you for this video! It was so helpful and I really appreciated the explanations of the cuts. Feel more confident asking my stylist for a shorter cut ❤
Gabi I love these cuts! Ugh! I love those short pixi cuts as well but my hair is course, thick and curly and I would look like I was auditioning to play a Q-Tip or a toilet bowl brush! A gal can dream lol! I loved this collaboration with summer, so fun! ❤❤
HAHAHAHA! Maria that visual was EVERYTHING! It made me literally laugh out loud! I wish I could do that cut too but I tried a pixie once and it just didn't work. My features are too big for it. I need hair to soften me out a bit.
Gabi, I just found you! I’ve since watched several of your videos, truly enjoyed them, and subscribed … NO hesitation! You are clearly super experienced and talented and I’m looking forward to learning from you. Have been fascinated with makeup since a little girl, but I am stumped. My veins are really blue/purple, but my skin tone is definitely more golden/neutral. None of the usual things you look for in discerning undertone seem to clearly apply to me! I can find foundations that work, and all the brown/bronze etc eyeshadows. But I want to explore pink tones and lipstick-but don’t know where to begin!!! Any guidance?? ❤️
So what if you have a round chubby face? I have been working toward no layers and was planning a blunt bob….but you said it’s not for a round face….now what?! 😭
Omg I’ve been watching your videos for the last hour and finding out now that we live in the same city! Crazy - your tips have been so helpful thank you!
OOh that is crazy!! What a small world. I have a TINY Canadian audience. Almost my entire audience base is American. It's nice to see a fellow Canadian on here.
I have hair loss at my bang line where I have a totally bare spot in the front part of my hair is just terribly thin back isn’t so bad and down the sides is very thin always has been I just need hair to grow. Plus I have larger ears
Thank you! I so wish I had the bone structure to pull off the bixie… but do not. I am going to request Summers cut at my next appt - next week! Love it! Thank you for you great content ♥🤩
@@StylesBySummer I LOVE IT! Looks as if I have twice as much hair. My hair looks a bit stringy when it gets some length…this amplified it. Thanks again 🤩
I've really been struggling with what would be most flattering for me, it seems like I have to compromise in some way and never fully love my hair. I have a very full, round face. I also have very fine hair. Any advice for me? Every stylist I've worked with/talked to has always gone with what works best for my round face. Even though it's very unrealistic with fine hair. I'm tired of feeling like I can only be partially pretty. Thanks!
I, too, have a round face with fine hair. A longer bob (1-2” below chin) with slight layering only in the back works well for me. I would love a lob to help elongate my face, but my hair is too find for that length.
Would any of these hairstyles work if you have hair thinning at the crown? Can you suggest hairstyles for fine and thinning at the crown. Appreciate your response. Thanks ;)
Gabi, I know you have said before you look better w long hair and you feel the prettiest. I do think you look the best with short bob looking hair that's caramel. So posh and youthful. Just an opinion
Bodies sound like this is right up my alley. That's what my hair is currently like as it layered but my hair in the back is longer bet I could curl it into a bixie
Hey Gabi and Summer I love both of you it's so good to see this collaboration with you both together especially with a hot tools you guys rock favorite RUclipsrs 100% for sure 😊
Amazing as always. Gabi, i love your hair in this vido...is there a tutorial for this style? I just cut my hair like yours so it would be very helpful. Thanks ladies, keep up the good work 💞✨️💞
thanks for the great suggestions ladies! I truly appreciate all of the advice and expertise you provide. I am planning on trying the blunt cut lob. I have fine naturally wavy hair, any tips on how to style natural wave with a lob? :)
OOOh you are going to LOVE IT! Is it as wavy as mine, less or more? Wavy hair can turn into a triangle when it is cut in a blunt way so if you want to wear it with waves, try the option that Summer suggested and get some light layering. Just a little bit of weight removed from the bottom will help the hair have more balance when it is curly and it will still look fantastic straight as well.
@@druidriley3163 Glad you can relate. I also have a very high forehead even before the thinning. This is from hair loss in particular areas in front, rather than hair that is overall thin. Makes it look bare in spots. In my younger years I have always been fairly good with hair and makeup. So it is discouraging that have such a problem even with spending more time on my hair.
Consider a bang hairpiece. I don't especially like bangs on myself, but have considered false bangs because I have lost hair in a kind of horseshoe shape at the temples (like my Dad & brother).
My hairdresser says the exact opposite thing, that my hair needs at least a little bit of layering because if it is cut blunt it will stack out and look like a tent.
My ears perked when you mentioned the lob. My stylist doesn't like a shorter back but I think I'm going to push it. Right now my hair has gotten quite long however I'm attempting to allow the grey to also grow in and it is very fine hair. I also thought to get hair implants but not right now. So with so much transition going on and having a wide chin, rounded face - I'm thinking a Lob might be good for now. How much difference from back to sides is it?
Hair color can make a huge difference in making ones hair look look thicker! Having highlights expands your individual strand so it will look and feel a little more full. If your hair is very fine/thin I suggest keeping it more medium to short in length as when this hair type gets longer it can look thinner and lighter hair will increase that look. Overall a darker color tends to make the hair look more full, IMO.
Hi Gabi and Summer, what hair cut/style would you suggest for a heavy woman with baby fine, straight hair that has a lot of fullness in the face and a large double chin?
Hey! If I were you, I would get a mid length cut (collar bone length) that is blunt at the back with some soft face framing layers starting 1 inch below the chin. If you have the space in the forehead, I would also do a soft wispy fringe to break up the face a bit.
Where are you located, I hunted down salon guy, excitedly found out his salon was about a half hour from me, then only to find out he has retired from haircutting and only does RUclips,insta and tik tok😢 I'm in Jersey are we close? Sending the video to my hairdresser didn't work out was well as I hoped. I need to go to the source.,
Hi Gabi I sent your blunt bob video to my stylist and I am one cut away from growing out my base so there are no layers. He said next time he might want to add a layer at the crown for volume. I forget his terminology...point cut or something like that? One of your videos you suggested I not let him do additional layers. Should I resist a crown layer? I can use all the volume I can get. Thanks for your videos! I'm definitely going to start checking out Summer too.
Hey! How fine is your baseline? If you have a regular amount of density (amount of hair per square inch of scalp), then you are probably fine to do some layers to increase the volume at the crown. If your hair is VERY VERY FINE or thinning, I would probably keep the baseline strong and not cut layers. Your stylist knows your hair though and he probably has a great idea of how to get the most out of your hair. I LOVE my stylist so I always trust what she recommends because she is the one with her hands in there and cutting hair all day long (plus she is GREAT!) The real question is, how much do you trust him?
I agree with Gabi, if you trust your stylist go with your gut! It sounds like he understands your hair and that's so nice he was receptive of you sending a video to him! I like doing what I call "free hand layers" on clients who don't want any layers but need some sort of movement still. It allows for shape but not the commitment of traditional layers.
@@GlamGirlGabi I mostly trust him. I come in with a different request each time I go which is not good! But I have said for several months my ends look scraggly and see through and we were just growing my front pieces longer. With your video those ends got cut off and my base already looks so much better. I may be willing to do some crown layers but I think I need all the hair I can get in the front and on the sides.
@@StylesBySummer Well I believe he thinks I'm a bit out there now but I'll own that, haha. I can definitely get into some movement as I am coming from a shag cut. It was just too many layers and lacked any volume at all.
@@chalkitup4827 I think if I were you, knowing what your base of hair struggles are, I would keep it blunt first. It is easy to add layers but harder to grow them out. Go blunt and if you don't love it, add layers next time.
Love this collaboration ladies, thank you for the great ideas and inspiration! I checked all the comments and your replies and I'm looking forward to that curly cuts video Gabi! I was wondering, do you think you could include some ideas for postpartum fine curly hair (low maintenance)? I have fine curly type 2 hair, 1 year postpartum with hair fall of almost 40% , now about 5 cm regrowth that looks like a micro curly bangs that spreads on the sides and top of my ears. If I straighten my hair, the regrowth will curl back in few hours. Putting my hair up, will result in a Jane Austen hairstyle ... needless to say out of style. It's a one length lob now (diy), but still looks weird with all this length, thin from the ears down and this silly micro bangs. Is waiting patiently the only solution for this postpartum hair loss?
Oh man I totally feel for you here! I have two kids and postpartum hair loss is NO JOKE. It is always in the temples and the front of the face too which makes it SOOOOO Hard to hide. Unfortunately, all you can do is have patience and wait it out. It will grow out I promise! It just takes some time. I would go to the hairstylist and get a really nice haircut though. I think you need someone else to do it so they can clean it all up and even it out so that the in between stage isn't as painful.
@@GlamGirlGabi Thank you so much for taking the time to read and reply, and not the least for your very wise suggestion!❤ I should definitely give myself some mommy time and get a decent haircut!
@@LicharaDream Of course! I am here for you! Being a new mom is very hard especially with all of the changes that come with it. Hang in there. You are doing an amazing job. Don't forget that you are also important and take some time to take care of yourself too.
I have a round face, so the shorter cuts may not work. I also am a singer and at gigs I get very hot (dancing, lights, adrenaline) so sweat is a problem for my hair. What cut would you suggest and also, would I be better off on stage by fixing my hair (up do of some sort) from the start. Thanks 😊
I cut my very thinned out and very fine hair off into a blunt bob again a month ago and it does look thicker. It's already grown a little, but I cut it to an inch or so below my pointy chin. When I was young, I usually had bangs, and I'd like to get them again to make 56 years old me look younger, but I just don't have enough hair now...sigh. If I cut bangs, I'd have almost no other hair left. Whine...whine....sob....
Hey Jackie! What kind of extensions are you wearing? I wore extensions for YEARS....I understand how you feel. For over ten years, I NEVER EVER felt pretty going to a party or event without some kind of fake hair. It is only in the last year that I am feeling confident about my own natural hair. Summer can relate to that as well. She wore extensions forever too.
It can be SO SCARY! I wore them for a lot of my 20s, took a long break and then pretty much all of 2022 I wore them again. I started out with tape ins and then went to fusions. I was super careful with the amount I put in and soooo careful with everyday stress on my scalp. I took them out 2 weeks ago and was so shocked I actually like my hair without them, especially with it being a little longer! Are you nervous because you're afraid of any potential hair loss you might have or are you nervous because you won't have as much thickness/length?
I am balling my eyes out because I had perfect voluminous hair and a hair stylist chopped and damaged all my hair off. She over texturized my hair and only left like two strands behind now my hair is frizzy and damaged. If anyone reads this and has been through this please share tips because I’m heart broken.
Hi just curious about layers. I watched one of your videos and absolutely love the cut (thinking about doing it tomorrow) and you say do NOT get layers in fine hair. This video is saying light layers is ok.
Depends on how fine your hair is. If it’s VERY fine, you need to keep the baseline so you don’t want to get layers and make the baseline too thin. If you have a regular amount of density (amount of hair per square inch of scalp) but it’s fine in texture, you can get light layers. You just have to make sure that you’re always maintaining a strong perimeter or the hair will look too fine.

I would love to know where you got the purple snakeskin dress you were wearing in the picture you shared. Thanks!
can you test a non permanent silvery color on brunette hair, so that the hair gets a cool silvery shine?
organic hair color please or revlon, directions or....

Got the amazing blunt bob that you talk about. It makes a world of difference with my fine hair. How do I keep it from looking triangular though? It seems like all the weight settles down to the bottom after a bit and then I have the dreaded triangle bob. lol.
I love these videos, but I would love to see some specifically for people who have fine, thin curly or wavy hair and leave their hair in its natural state and air dry. It’s hard for me to get a good cut because a totally blunt cut won’t work for me because it sticks out to the sides on the bottom too much. Hair stylists always tell me I need more layers for movement and to create the right shape, but they often mess up my hair when they do layers, and I wind up miserable. It sometimes cuts my hair in the middle of my curl and makes my curls point towards my face instead of away also. Very annoying.
Omg I wish hair dressers would listen to this. I can’t tell you how many times how many years I ask for blunt and hairdresser tell me I need layers and I walk out with the thinnest hair ever and they have a sorry look on their face. It’s so hard to find someone who does blunt
I’ve given up on hairdressers, I only need one scissor swipe anyway,. I really do have thin hair!
Yes yes yes yes I’m tired of ppl telling me I need layers to make my hair look full. No. It just makes my ends EVEN THINNER.
Given up too! im tired of hairdressers saying that u need to highlight hair to get volume n that they can give u the perfect highlights (even w/a pic) then u walk out with damaged orange or yellow hair! BUT THEY WANT THEIR PMT (no discount, no ownership) but there's a cancellation fee?! San Antonio, TX hairdressers need 2b in school longer!
I found a girl that does a blunt cut on my hair. 😊
I just learnt how to cut my own hair at home and it amazing. Search up some videos here on RUclips.
Girl YES finally something for me- both fine and thin hair! I hate hair loss. More of this please!
Use rosemary water and oil you will be astonished and use egg and oil mask , but consistent
@@MilkywayUme thank you for the recommendation. I will try the rosemary water. I unfortunately cannot do the oils as I get dandruff LOL so I have to wash my hair pretty frequently :(
Take saw palmetto and biotin supplements. 🖤
Age 71. I have had long straggly hair since I stopped cutting and coloring it 2 years ago. I used to pay $150 plus tip for C & C, but today I couldn’t stand it anymore. It has gotten thin in front and straggly and unkempt in uneven back.
I dropped in a cheap ($7.95 Great Clips) and the older stylist followed my request and cut it shoulder length straight/blunt all the way around. It took about 8 minutes! It looks so much healthier and thicker, and my gray/white hair absolutely shimmers with new life. What a coup. Yes, I tipped her $20. ❤
Then I stumbled onto this post after I got home and it looks like I did the right thing for my poor, thin, straggly hair. 👍
Would love video on products for fine hair, thinning and aging hair
You use many products maybe ranking them as best for this issue etc. Thanks!!
I've had bob length short hair many times before and I'm really considering getting n bob again cause my hair just feels bleh, but I'm scared cause currently my hair is the longest it's ever been even though it's really not that long.
Update: I did the chop and I'm so happy my hair feels and looks so thick and so healthy now! Also all the frizz I previously had is gone. Girl do it, cut it! Long, stringy dead ends don't look cute or actually long at all.
Thanks for the video.I'm getting my hair cut, coloured and styled today, for the first time in 4 years. I have a mix of thin, wavy hair, chestnut brown supermarket hair dye and 2 inches of completely white roots. I like the blunt bob and might even try bangs. 😊
My hair is even thinner than it was when I was younger. My hair is still very fine but I also have significantly less of it. I was thinking of a bob cut but with my aging face, I’m not sure it will work. I like the idea of a shoulder blunt bob, I think I’ll start there. I wish I had enough hair in the front to do some layers; unfortunately I do not. Thank you for your videos on this. Even though you have a lot more hair than I do, I still get some good advice and ideas from them. 💕
I have skunk hair. Very thin and fine. You can see my scalp in places. I have a shoulder-length blunt bob for my fine blonde hair. I love watching you! You know all of the greatest tricks! Thank you so so much!
Thank you for watching and commenting Nancy! A shoulder length blunt bob sounds like the perfect haircut for you if your hair is thin and fine. Are you enjoying your haircut? I had that haircut for years and I LOVED IT. I just recently changed it up (a tiny little bit...it is still very similar).
What is skunk hair? It doesn't sound good. 😮😅
@@Robin5957 Hahaha - it's fine hair that won't do anything. Just hangs there with no body, shine or curl. UGH.
@@GlamGirlGabi No Gabi, I am growing my hair long again. It will grow to my rear end. I'm just going there and letting it go. I'm 65.
Thanks ! Would love bangs but my hair on top is too thin to pull this off
If you have fine hair it's best to avoid a fringe/bangs as that removes volume that can be used in the bulk of the hair
Love the butterfly cut. It’s great that you give terminology to use when communicating to a stylist. He does want to color my hair but instead I ask for more shine. Grey for 4 years and love it.
Embrace your grey!!! It is SOOOO much work, time and money to fight against it and it is a losing losing battle. I am so happy for you that you just get shine added to that lovely head of hair! I love that!
I'm so happy I finally went for it! All the cutting tutorials I was doing, I was jealous of all my mannequins hair 😂. Love that you love your gray!
You two are life savers. I have been searching for fine hair videos for years and you guys nailed it. I would love more videos on styling the bixie with volume products you both recommend Thank you
I just got a bob yesterday 😆 I told myself this was my year to try it.
Last fall I made the mistake of getting a shag cut that my fine hair just couldn't get on board with no matter how much styling product or heated styling appliances I used. Now, as I grow that cut out, my hair is much more of a butterfly style, but I'm not too pleased. I'm on my way back to a long bob - slight layers, blunt ends, and slight A-line just below/around my collarbones. That style looks and feels great, my hair loves and rocks it, and my hair seems thicker and healthier with a Lob style.
@GlamGirlGabi... Hi! I see instagram and email, but not telegram - what am I missing?
@@RenegadeMysticLLC scammer
@@jon2849 I think so. Thanks.
Glad I read this. I was considering a shag because I’m so sick of the same old style, but I have fine, thinning hair
@@kategranville2745 It was such a disaster for me. And, took a long time to grow out.
I have terribly thin hair. I keep a bob but he heavily layers the back that makes my thin areas look thick. A truly artist.
Unlike most stylists these ladies love their craft and constantly learn, share and evolve. My respects ladies! It’s not the norm, most are lazy and uninspired. Haven’t we experienced the stylist with a gorgeous cut that can’t actually create it. Wish I could ask for the lady that cut my stylists hair. I haven’t seen a good cut on myself for years and I’m not going to chop shops.
Absolutely. A stylist who loves her craft is priceless♡ so many people get their license, realize they're not into it but continue bc it pays the bills.
It was SO FUN working with you for this video!
I loved having you here on the channel Summer!!!
Great job Summer! Love your tips!
So fun!
Thank you Summer ❤
Me it's the other way around, I ask for layers to have volume and she keeps sayi g my hair is too thing and it will be more up in the air. You know what I did last month?? I did the freaking layers myself, it's not perfect but it's still the best hair cut so far I have had.
Thank youuu so much Gabby. I watched your video 2 weeks ago and I went to the salon to cut my hair because I have very fine thin hair and I took ur recommendation on going for a long blunt bob and I asked my stylist to part my hair in the middle and omg I love it . Even when I have round face and you mentioned that maybe was not suitable for those with round face it did work for me .
thank you sooo much because I walked into the salon knowing what I wanted and for my stylist was Crystal clear of what I wanted . Now I understand l the importance of knowing exactly what you want I and how to articulate it for best results
Thank you for this. I struggle with thin, fine hair and style.
I have an appointment to cut my hair next week and this was very helpful as I have very long but very thin hair. I’m really considering the lob with fringe! My face is round and I do have a lack of chin. I hope it works out.
I have short chin and double chin lob was a nice cut for myself !
Just got my hair cut two days ago. But now I feel like I've seen this video beforehand lol.
I got thin hair and got myself a "lob" ( long bob (I think that's what it's called 🤔) and I love it. Thank's for the video.
Finally! All about thin hair. Thank you!
Hello! Do you have a video that shows how to create those big waves? I love the look you've shown in this video. It's almost a bend, not even a curl. Gorgeous. Thank you.
Loved your video for all the different hair length options for those of us who are used to a particular length. Thank you for introducing me to the lob, I just might try that one!
Great video and your interaction with Summer is excellent. I will definitely check out her channel. A video for women 70+ with finer and/or thinning hair would be great, especially in grey or silver tones. Thanks so much Gabi! 😘Roberta
Yes,I agree!
Thank you for watching!
Yes, I agree too!
Yes, Please cuts for over 70 years young for all shades silver and wavy/curly hair. Appreciation Always
This is why I'm here. Looking for something new and possibly shorter for the summer as I transition to gray in 2023 but also eventually going longer back into fall. Had already been thinking of going full Beth Button so Summer had me with the pics of Kelly Reilly!
I looooove her hair!
Gabi, love your channel, you’re so fortunate to have such full, beautiful, versatile hair. Your hair may be fine, but you have an abundance. All the cuts you and Summer showed looked great, but none can be styled when your hair is wavy, thinning and frizzy through out. All the cuts are smooth and have blunt ends. Hair that’s frizzy can not carry these styles 🫤, without frying w heat tools.
Yeah, I have fine thin wavy curl kind of hair and it will get frizzy easy .. I have to have a straightener to smooth my hair out and I have hard time with front of hair smoothing out. I have a cowlick in the middle and it hard to get it to straighten out.. I know how you feel
I didn’t feel like any of these styles would work with my hair. When you combine super-fine hair with thinning, there just isn’t enough to work with. I’m resigned to wearing it long and keeping it up in a bun. And it’s a tiny, tiny bun :(
I agree w/the other 2 commenters. You have plenty of hair. You have as much as I USED to have. When I gather all of my hair into a ponytail, the part gathered up is about the size of the tip of my pinkie finger at best. And it's fine.....& wavy. And then on top of that, I've have what looks like a huge part .....I've always had it but now it's much worse w/my hair thinning out to about 1/3 the amount I used to have...& it was never a thick head of hair.
I recently went form having dreadlocks for 5 years to a blunt bob - I have fine, thin hair and both the dreadlocks and the blunt bob have done wonders for adding volume. I have recently added a curtain bang and had some "invisible" layering put in just to take some of the weight out at the base line and give me a bit more volume at the roots.
NICE! That is an awesome solution for you! Are you loving it?
Great video! But, here’s my dilemma; how to get your stylist to understand what you’re wanting. I’ve tried to get a Bob with some movement & bangs with a some fine layers to frame the face. I must not know how to correctly describe what I want. The cut never looks right. Maybe you could help me with describing the cut. ❤️ from a fine hair lover of your channel.
PS. Heaven help me, I’ve been cutting it myself🙄. Not layers, just length.
Pictures are good and videos as well. I like when clients explain to me exactly what they are not currently liking about their hair or common issues they have had with previous cut. Example being "my hair is fine so I want movement but can't afford to have to many layers." Hopefully I'm explaining that well!
Thank you! I have taken pictures before, but never videos.
@@karenhecht2342 // I'm taking this video with me next time.
@@Donna-vh5ym great idea!!
Love this post! I have fine to medium hair, luckily a fair amount of it, but am always looking for ways to tweak my style. The last couple years, have helped me to grow my hair out, so now I'm just below my shoulders with longer and minimal layers. Always looking for ways to give my style more volume at the root and density at my ends . Thank you thank you thank you !
I am so happy to hear that! If you like minimal layering and shoulder length but you want to change it up a bit, you can try face framing or adding a fringe! Check out Summer's channel because she has a whole playlist for fine haircuts and they are all SO STUNNING. I have learned so many cutting techniques from her.
Yes, my playlist has some great haircut ideas! Fine hair can have layers in it, just need to be cut right to keep the fullness at the base!
Wow, thank you so much for sharing this I would’ve never thought you had thinning hair and as someone with the thin hair myself, I really appreciate this video.
Great.... haircuts !!! 👍Thank you Gabi ..for always keeping us up to date.. with New haircuts ..and what will help us .. to choose.. what's best ..for our hair type.. and our face!!!
Thank you Gabi and Summer for sharing...I will share too ..🤗😊😁
Thanks Diane! I appreciate you taking the time to leave such a nice comment and for sharing the video!
My hair is super fine and thin due to thyroid issues. I wish I could pull off a shorter hair cut,or at least to my shoulders, but my face is so round and chunky I'm afraid I'm just going to look more chunky 😒
Same here! I look more chunky with short hair
Same
Exactly what I'm going through. Thyroid thin hair. You can see the scalp because it's so thin with the chubby face
Same here 😢
The same here😢 super thyroid fine, thin hair, and worst that I have skinny face, very oval that never make it possible to look nice as a woman 😢 no saloon have been able once in my entire life help me:( 😢
Hi Gabby there is fine hair and really fine hair like the first photos on ur channel!! Could u do a video on that type of hair and what can be done... PLEASE!! Thank you 🙏
Hey! I actually cut that client's hair and did a video on it (the before picture from the thumbnail). Here is the video: ruclips.net/video/ckfJNgwUM2s/видео.html
Another great video! What do you ladies recommend when it's thinner in the front but still full on thick in the back?
That is how my hair is so I was so surprised how much I like my butterfly/layered cut! If you prefer your hair to look as thick as possible in the front, a bob is your best bet. I wore my hair in a bob with no layers in my sides for yrs and it always made my hair look much thicker than it is and you can still get ample volume with one.
I have the same issue as well. My hair has density at the back but next to no density at the front. For me, the biggest solution to this issue is to keep the sides completely un-layered. I recently got a modified butterfly cut like Summer did and the density is significantly minimized at the front but I still love it because I have more volume at the crown. It is all about finding the cut that works the best for you and what your end goal is.
Trying to grow out layers from a short cut. Have fine textured hair, but lots of it with wavy in some spots straight in others. I think my hair might be demon possessed......it does the opposite of whatever way I try styling it. With product, without product....doesn't matter.🥴. I like watching all your tips in your videos. The suggestions from Summer were great.
I’ve been letting my hair grow out because it grows so fast it’s hard to keep a cut style. I did do a video last year of cutting my own hair. It was a blunt cut about to my shoulders with long layers. It made my hair look much thicker. It’s gotten thinner this past year.. how can I make longer hair look thicker?
Great video Ladies!
I love all you ideas. My hair is not thin, but thick hair can be a pain as it can be too heavy. As much as i love the idea of the bixie, i wouldnt go there at this time as i just git finish growing out my pixie a year ago. But its such a cute style, maybe someday, just not now. I love the butterfly cut idea as that would solve some of my weight problems. Im going to bring that up to my daughter who is also my stylist too. I'd love to do a full bang too, but in the summer i sweat too much and i straighten my wavy hair. So that might be too much work once the heat hits. So ill stick with my curtain bangs for now. Thx for all the great ideas. 💖
I have very fine thin hair also. Can you share more in-depth thoughts on the butterfly cut?
The butterfly cut is a perfect example of a 90s haircut. It is beautiful because it is so bouncy and light BUT there is a lot of layering so you lose the baseline perimeter. If you hair is VERY fine and thin, I wouldn't suggest this because the ends will become too wispy. If you have a regular amount of density, you will be okay to get it as long as you go to someone who is skilled at cutting and can customize it to your hair.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Because I had the right terminology due to your video, my hairstylist was able to cut my hair the way I wanted. ❤
These are all great cuts- the problem is finding someone that can give you the cut and do it right. Do you know or have any recommendations for the LA area ? Long shot I know - I’ve tried a lot .. and while most of my stylists have been wonderful.. thin fine hair just doesn’t seem to be their forte. Love your content! 😊💕
I hear that. It can be so hard to find that perfect stylist. I don't live in LA so I just don't know who is best there but when you call to make an appointment, I would request someone who specifically understands fine hair cutting techniques. Another issue could be in your styling. Are you good at styling your hair? Sometimes the missing link is knowing how to STYLE the cut more than the actual cut itself.
@@GlamGirlGabi
That’s just it! My styling skills are dire.. I’m out of practice as I don’t/haven’t styled my hair in years & constantly wear it up because I can’t do the modern styles of today😕(that makes me sound ancient) Lol
Hence why I’m a BIG fan of your channel to learn from YOU & have learnt so MUCH from you already🫶
I have below the shoulder hair one length with face framing around front area & am currently growing out my fringe/bangs but can’t curl my hair like you & most girls who aren’t hair dressers/stylist & it frustrates me I can’t 🙁
Can you suggest the best/easiest way to get the c👀l curls/waves that are all the rage these days please?
Fastly approaching 50 & want to be ‘fabulous @ 50’
Not f….d @ 50 🤭 xcuse the language😂

@@YOU-niter There is a video I made specifically for this!!! It will be out this week. I teach you STEP BY STEP how to curl the hair in the simplest and most clear way possible. Stay tuned for that!
Enjoyed your video so much. I too have fine hair and am struggling daily with it. The hardest part is finding a good stylist that knows what they’re doing. I live in Denver, Colorado, and I don’t know where to start. Any suggestions? Also what lip color and product are you wearing in this video Gabby? Beautiful! You are so beautiful inside and out. Any tips, I’m here. Thank you.
I have fine naturally blonde hair so tend to go for a long bob which with soft waves looks good, but what would you recommend for a way to get waves without heat every day
Hi Gabi and Summer 😁. I loved this collaboration so much! You both are my favorite content creators! This was such a fun video, please do more collaborations💕.
Thanks for watching Oelfah! Glad you enjoyed!
I’m so happy you enjoyed it Oelfah! We are so happy to have you here with us!
Oh boy! The dream team! I've been watching you both for advice!🥰
Thanks for watching! ❤❤
I took Gabi's instructions for a blunt bob to my stylist last year and she's been following it to the tee ever since. Very good results; she was impressed with how just a few tweaks like the undercut at the nape of the neck worked. It's just a great cut, even looks good just out of bed. I also have very thin hair, always. And since menopause it became a bit thinner. I haven't heard this mentioned on Gabi's platform but I did begin low dose oral minoxidil from my dermatologist. We are at 64 mg at month 6. I did see the expected shedding increase at month 1 and since then a marked decrease in shedding and now baby hairs visible at my part and forehead where my hair line begins. My part is definitely narrowing. Not everyone can use LDOM but my derm says that it is effective but takes time. I might increase my dosage. And it is inexpensive.
Did you have any side effects from it?
Trying to find the right cut for my hair! I have fine hair but a lot of it. I’ve tried the lob and bob but it looks super full at bottom and weighed down at top. Any suggestions for the fine hair but lots of it? Looking for lift, movement, fun, and polished looks! Thanks!
Have you been getting layers in or just one length?
I'd like to know the different kinds of bangs there are. Anytime I ever had bangs they only lay flat, and were greasy. Also how do you get the amazing hair like Dakota Johnson in the third 50 shades movie?
Great video! Just wondering if the Lob or Butterfly cuts would suit a round face!! Please let me know! Thank you both for so many great ideas! ❤😊
Wow! I just discovered Summer's channel yesterday & love you both! I showed my mom one of your haircut tutorials & the was my last haircut that I love.
Yay! Yes Summer is amazing.
I have such thin hair on top of my head and usually get a chin length blunt bob cut. However, I just can't get any lift on the top of my head where the hair is it's thinnest and looks so flat. I am afraid to get any layers for fear that it will make my thin, fine hair look even thinner. Any suggestions would be great .....Thanks for this video , It was so informative.
Same!
Roll it. Use wide rollers and plop it on top of your head. If your hair doesn't take to heat styling well (mine doesn't and will drop the curl unless I absolutely fry it) do pin curls. I don't use bobby pins because my hair is so fine they fall out. I use snap clips which work like those 90s slap bracelets and are more secure. I do 4 pin curls, two on top and one on each side. If I do it while my hair is damp, when my hair dries I will have curls that last 1~3 days. The looser you roll them the more "wave" you will get and less curl, which is great for volume and texture. You can also do this on dry hair (for when you aren't washing your hair) for a touch up, however it doesn't last as long. Bonus, rolling takes ten minutes tops for my entire head since less hair means less pins!
Just recently discovered your lovely channel and am now binge watching your videos. Also recently discovered Summers channel too, and like both of you I also have fine hair. Clearly your tips and tricks are working as you both look to have amazing (thick!) hair. I totally agree about a blunt (un-layered) bob being a great flattering cut for those of us not lucky enough to have a thick mane - something I’ve had variations of for years. Thank you for sharing your great knowledge 👏🏻. All the best from across the pond 😊🇬🇧
Welcome to the channel and I love Summer - She's an amazing creator as well!
SWEET!!!! FINALLY, someone who actually HAS fine thin hair!!!
I'm checking out her channel for the first time now! Thanks for the colab-video! Great content!
I do. I definitely like volumising my hair with curls 😊.
Gabi, I have a question for you. Can curtain bangs be styled to the side? I’ve only seen them parted in the middle. Thanks
Thank you for this video! It was so helpful and I really appreciated the explanations of the cuts. Feel more confident asking my stylist for a shorter cut ❤
Gabi I love these cuts! Ugh! I love those short pixi cuts as well but my hair is course, thick and curly and I would look like I was auditioning to play a Q-Tip or a toilet bowl brush! A gal can dream lol! I loved this collaboration with summer, so fun! ❤❤
HAHAHAHA! Maria that visual was EVERYTHING! It made me literally laugh out loud! I wish I could do that cut too but I tried a pixie once and it just didn't work. My features are too big for it. I need hair to soften me out a bit.
Gabi, your makeup is GORGEOUS!!!
Gabi, I just found you! I’ve since watched several of your videos, truly enjoyed them, and subscribed … NO hesitation! You are clearly super experienced and talented and I’m looking forward to learning from you. Have been fascinated with makeup since a little girl, but I am stumped. My veins are really blue/purple, but my skin tone is definitely more golden/neutral. None of the usual things you look for in discerning undertone seem to clearly apply to me! I can find foundations that work, and all the brown/bronze etc eyeshadows. But I want to explore pink tones and lipstick-but don’t know where to begin!!! Any guidance?? ❤️
wow thanks for sharing you hair problems and how to fix them, I am learning a lot and I am trying to cover up my hair problems
So what if you have a round chubby face? I have been working toward no layers and was planning a blunt bob….but you said it’s not for a round face….now what?! 😭
Omg I’ve been watching your videos for the last hour and finding out now that we live in the same city! Crazy - your tips have been so helpful thank you!
OOh that is crazy!! What a small world. I have a TINY Canadian audience. Almost my entire audience base is American. It's nice to see a fellow Canadian on here.
Great! I love Summers channel as much as yours!
Thanks for watching Michael!
Summer is a hair fairy Queen! I was a huge fan of her channel before we became friends and it was surreal to have her here on my channel!
I have hair loss at my bang line where I have a totally bare spot in the front part of my hair is just terribly thin back isn’t so bad and down the sides is very thin always has been I just need hair to grow. Plus I have larger ears
Yesssss, all beautiful haircuts on fine hair! I've tried many of these :)
Thank you! I so wish I had the bone structure to pull off the bixie… but do not. I am going to request Summers cut at my next appt - next week! Love it! Thank you for you great content ♥🤩
How did it turn out!?
@@StylesBySummer I LOVE IT! Looks as if I have twice as much hair. My hair looks a bit stringy when it gets some length…this amplified it. Thanks again 🤩
I've really been struggling with what would be most flattering for me, it seems like I have to compromise in some way and never fully love my hair. I have a very full, round face. I also have very fine hair. Any advice for me? Every stylist I've worked with/talked to has always gone with what works best for my round face. Even though it's very unrealistic with fine hair. I'm tired of feeling like I can only be partially pretty. Thanks!
I, too, have a round face with fine hair. A longer bob (1-2” below chin) with slight layering only in the back works well for me. I would love a lob to help elongate my face, but my hair is too find for that length.
Would any of these hairstyles work if you have hair thinning at the crown? Can you suggest hairstyles for fine and thinning at the crown. Appreciate your response. Thanks ;)
I love your tutorials.. I'm new on here and appreciate the advice you give.. Esp. For over 50..
Gabi, I know you have said before you look better w long hair and you feel the prettiest. I do think you look the best with short bob looking hair that's caramel. So posh and youthful. Just an opinion
The salon always messes up my hair so I have been cutting it myself. It’s alit better than the mess they do
Good cut and good advice for rounder face it not being right without the soft longer layers. Love ya Gabi!
So true! Thanks for watching.
Bodies sound like this is right up my alley. That's what my hair is currently like as it layered but my hair in the back is longer bet I could curl it into a bixie
Hey Gabi and Summer I love both of you it's so good to see this collaboration with you both together especially with a hot tools you guys rock favorite RUclipsrs 100% for sure 😊
I love the idea of a mid length lob with fringe- but what can I do to keep it low maintenance? I don’t always have access to hot tools!
I love the ideas but it won’t work for my curly hair in humid FL. Any other great creative ideas? You two are a Great 👍 team 🙏
What do you think of the blunt Bob for a 65 year old? I’m tall and thin, and blessed to not look quite my age!
It will be youthful!
Amazing as always. Gabi, i love your hair in this vido...is there a tutorial for this style? I just cut my hair like yours so it would be very helpful. Thanks ladies, keep up the good work 💞✨️💞
thanks for the great suggestions ladies! I truly appreciate all of the advice and expertise you provide. I am planning on trying the blunt cut lob. I have fine naturally wavy hair, any tips on how to style natural wave with a lob? :)
OOOh you are going to LOVE IT! Is it as wavy as mine, less or more? Wavy hair can turn into a triangle when it is cut in a blunt way so if you want to wear it with waves, try the option that Summer suggested and get some light layering. Just a little bit of weight removed from the bottom will help the hair have more balance when it is curly and it will still look fantastic straight as well.
Its pretty close to yours…i will definitely try with the layers at the
bottom…working on
embracing the wave!
@@jenniferlabino4999 the layers will definitely help enhance your natural wave and you don't need a lot to do so!
what if my hair is thinning in front but love bangs? I struggle with my bangs looking too thin since i am losing hair in front. what can i do?
Same problem. I have a blunt cut to maximize fullness but I also have bangs and they're pretty thin. You can see my scalp through my bangs.
@@druidriley3163 Glad you can relate. I also have a very high forehead even before the thinning. This is from hair loss in particular areas in front, rather than hair that is overall thin. Makes it look bare in spots. In my younger years I have always been fairly good with hair and makeup. So it is discouraging that have such a problem even with spending more time on my hair.
Consider a bang hairpiece. I don't especially like bangs on myself, but have considered false bangs because I have lost hair in a kind of horseshoe shape at the temples (like my Dad & brother).
My hairdresser says the exact opposite thing, that my hair needs at least a little bit of layering because if it is cut blunt it will stack out and look like a tent.
I have found the answer to my fine hair ! Thanks Gabi
My ears perked when you mentioned the lob. My stylist doesn't like a shorter back but I think I'm going to push it. Right now my hair has gotten quite long however I'm attempting to allow the grey to also grow in and it is very fine hair. I also thought to get hair implants but not right now.
So with so much transition going on and having a wide chin, rounded face - I'm thinking a Lob might be good for now.
How much difference from back to sides is it?
Most of those women do NOT have thinner hair and they are all young. I’m talking see through scalp. 🤷♀️
Do you think hair colour will make a difference in making fine hair look denser? Blonde hair?
Hair color can make a huge difference in making ones hair look look thicker! Having highlights expands your individual strand so it will look and feel a little more full. If your hair is very fine/thin I suggest keeping it more medium to short in length as when this hair type gets longer it can look thinner and lighter hair will increase that look. Overall a darker color tends to make the hair look more full, IMO.
If your hair is naturally light try some “lowlights”. If dark add “highlights”
It really does add depth to your hair.
I swear when I was all over bleach blonde it helped make my scalp look less noticeable!
Hi Gabi and Summer, what hair cut/style would you suggest for a heavy woman with baby fine, straight hair that has a lot of fullness in the face and a large double chin?
Hey! If I were you, I would get a mid length cut (collar bone length) that is blunt at the back with some soft face framing layers starting 1 inch below the chin. If you have the space in the forehead, I would also do a soft wispy fringe to break up the face a bit.
Perfect suggestion by Gabi, I second that!
Where are you located, I hunted down salon guy, excitedly found out his salon was about a half hour from me, then only to find out he has retired from haircutting and only does RUclips,insta and tik tok😢 I'm in Jersey are we close? Sending the video to my hairdresser didn't work out was well as I hoped. I need to go to the source.,
@@GlamGirlGabi, thank you so much! ❤️
@@StylesBySummer, thank you! ❤️
Hi Gabi I sent your blunt bob video to my stylist and I am one cut away from growing out my base so there are no layers. He said next time he might want to add a layer at the crown for volume. I forget his terminology...point cut or something like that? One of your videos you suggested I not let him do additional layers. Should I resist a crown layer? I can use all the volume I can get. Thanks for your videos! I'm definitely going to start checking out Summer too.
Hey! How fine is your baseline? If you have a regular amount of density (amount of hair per square inch of scalp), then you are probably fine to do some layers to increase the volume at the crown. If your hair is VERY VERY FINE or thinning, I would probably keep the baseline strong and not cut layers. Your stylist knows your hair though and he probably has a great idea of how to get the most out of your hair. I LOVE my stylist so I always trust what she recommends because she is the one with her hands in there and cutting hair all day long (plus she is GREAT!) The real question is, how much do you trust him?
I agree with Gabi, if you trust your stylist go with your gut! It sounds like he understands your hair and that's so nice he was receptive of you sending a video to him! I like doing what I call "free hand layers" on clients who don't want any layers but need some sort of movement still. It allows for shape but not the commitment of traditional layers.
@@GlamGirlGabi I mostly trust him. I come in with a different request each time I go which is not good! But I have said for several months my ends look scraggly and see through and we were just growing my front pieces longer. With your video those ends got cut off and my base already looks so much better. I may be willing to do some crown layers but I think I need all the hair I can get in the front and on the sides.
@@StylesBySummer Well I believe he thinks I'm a bit out there now but I'll own that, haha. I can definitely get into some movement as I am coming from a shag cut. It was just too many layers and lacked any volume at all.
@@chalkitup4827 I think if I were you, knowing what your base of hair struggles are, I would keep it blunt first. It is easy to add layers but harder to grow them out. Go blunt and if you don't love it, add layers next time.
Love this collaboration ladies, thank you for the great ideas and inspiration! I checked all the comments and your replies and I'm looking forward to that curly cuts video Gabi! I was wondering, do you think you could include some ideas for postpartum fine curly hair (low maintenance)? I have fine curly type 2 hair, 1 year postpartum with hair fall of almost 40% , now about 5 cm regrowth that looks like a micro curly bangs that spreads on the sides and top of my ears. If I straighten my hair, the regrowth will curl back in few hours. Putting my hair up, will result in a Jane Austen hairstyle ... needless to say out of style. It's a one length lob now (diy), but still looks weird with all this length, thin from the ears down and this silly micro bangs. Is waiting patiently the only solution for this postpartum hair loss?
Oh man I totally feel for you here! I have two kids and postpartum hair loss is NO JOKE. It is always in the temples and the front of the face too which makes it SOOOOO Hard to hide. Unfortunately, all you can do is have patience and wait it out. It will grow out I promise! It just takes some time. I would go to the hairstylist and get a really nice haircut though. I think you need someone else to do it so they can clean it all up and even it out so that the in between stage isn't as painful.
@@GlamGirlGabi Thank you so much for taking the time to read and reply, and not the least for your very wise suggestion!❤ I should definitely give myself some mommy time and get a decent haircut!
@@LicharaDream Of course! I am here for you! Being a new mom is very hard especially with all of the changes that come with it. Hang in there. You are doing an amazing job. Don't forget that you are also important and take some time to take care of yourself too.
I have a round face, so the shorter cuts may not work. I also am a singer and at gigs I get very hot (dancing, lights, adrenaline) so sweat is a problem for my hair. What cut would you suggest and also, would I be better off on stage by fixing my hair (up do of some sort) from the start. Thanks 😊
I cut my very thinned out and very fine hair off into a blunt bob again a month ago and it does look thicker. It's already grown a little, but I cut it to an inch or so below my pointy chin. When I was young, I usually had bangs, and I'd like to get them again to make 56 years old me look younger, but I just don't have enough hair now...sigh. If I cut bangs, I'd have almost no other hair left. Whine...whine....sob....
All the models shown have thick hair
Hey Gabi…would these shorter styles look right on us over 50 gals?
Love both of you!! So excited you both did this!! ❤️❤️
Thank you Lisa! Yes we were super excited as well! It was so amazing to collaborate with her and to feature her here. She is such an amazing stylist.
Gabi is so sweet Lisa, she made this so fun and I always love all her tips for fine hair!
@@GlamGirlGabi Yes, she is!!❤️
@@StylesBySummer Yes, I do too!!❤️
Gabi!!!!! I started wearing extensions 1 year ago! I’m scared to take them out!
Hey Jackie! What kind of extensions are you wearing? I wore extensions for YEARS....I understand how you feel. For over ten years, I NEVER EVER felt pretty going to a party or event without some kind of fake hair. It is only in the last year that I am feeling confident about my own natural hair. Summer can relate to that as well. She wore extensions forever too.
Oh! Didn’t know that! They are weave in and I have them raised every 4 weeks.
It can be SO SCARY! I wore them for a lot of my 20s, took a long break and then pretty much all of 2022 I wore them again. I started out with tape ins and then went to fusions. I was super careful with the amount I put in and soooo careful with everyday stress on my scalp. I took them out 2 weeks ago and was so shocked I actually like my hair without them, especially with it being a little longer! Are you nervous because you're afraid of any potential hair loss you might have or are you nervous because you won't have as much thickness/length?
I am balling my eyes out because I had perfect voluminous hair and a hair stylist chopped and damaged all my hair off. She over texturized my hair and only left like two strands behind now my hair is frizzy and damaged. If anyone reads this and has been through this please share tips because I’m heart broken.
Hi just curious about layers. I watched one of your videos and absolutely love the cut (thinking about doing it tomorrow) and you say do NOT get layers in fine hair. This video is saying light layers is ok.
Depends on how fine your hair is. If it’s VERY fine, you need to keep the baseline so you don’t want to get layers and make the baseline too thin. If you have a regular amount of density (amount of hair per square inch of scalp) but it’s fine in texture, you can get light layers. You just have to make sure that you’re always maintaining a strong perimeter or the hair will look too fine.
I have such fine thin hair but I wear my hair back/up everyday. Heading to the salon soon. Thinking of a blunt bob. But just not sure.
Go for it! Let me know the results, I'm excited for you!
I suffer from alopecia so my hair is super thin. The ends have no density whatsoever. Thanks for the video a blunt bob looks like the option for me
I have naturally curly hair that has gotten thinner since I had COVID. Can I also get a blunt bob or do I need layers?
