It’s hard when people tell you you have thin hair. I was working and a lady came in and she was asking questions about a product at my work and then she said “ can I tell you something” and I thought it was about the product and then she started saying about my hair and loudly in front of about 20 people. I was so embarrassed. Other women have put me down at my other job and I’ve been hearing about my fine thin hair since I was 15. I’m 33 now and I’m so tired of hearing it, it hurts 😓
April that would have made me so uncomfortable too. I'm so sorry you had to experience that.♥️ Sending you some love there are a ton of people here who can relate that's for sure!
That is so rude! Why do people think that's appropriate? Seriously, I've had total strangers make hurtful remarks about my physical appearance, too. I don't understand why they think they have the right to do that. It's not like you can go back to God and ask him for a genetic change.
People have told me I have thin hair and it is all I can do not to reply meanly. I don’t because that would be a dirty play but I bet there Karma blows!
I don’t know why people have to comment on fine hair! Obviously it’s them that have a problem with it, don’t let them make you feel it’s a problem, truth be know they feel crap about themselves and just love to put other people down !!
I had a horrible mental breakdown today about my thin hair. I was getting ready for the gym and put my hair in a bun and ripped it out over and over for an hour, no exaggeration. I just couldn't get it to look "presentable". I gave up and stayed home. I found these videos because I needed help and encouragement, and I found it. I'm still feeling really defeated, but definitely feel better.
Aw hi Sarah. I'm so sorry you had to go through this today. It just breaks my heart to read comments like this but I can totally relate love. Know you are so not alone in this struggle and I know this is something you can overcome. Sending you some love and a big virtual snuggle ♥️
Me too, I had exactly the same morning with my hair. I wore my fake hair bun for the first time today, I hate wearing fake hair but it made me feel human today.
To me women with fine hair and thick hair both radiate beauty but in different ways, and I often find people tend to overlook the genuine beauty of fine hair . For example I’d say finer haired women can give off a very angelic and delicate, doll like aesthetic, especially when they embrace their natural beauty and take care of their hair. - So to anyone reading this I hope it reminds you that; -beauty is subjective -that you should teach yourself to become more open minded in the realm of beauty, - and you should do your best to learn to idolize the features similar to yours so that you can learn to then idolize yourself. (Sorry my writing is a bit all over the place but I hope you get the message!!) Also I really enjoyed your video! Your hair looks lovely, the kind of side bangs you’ve got going on frame your face nicely. -You look so much like Blake Lively! I was wondering if anyone has told you that before? Xxx
Aw Elaine! This was such a wonderful message and truly a wonderful reminder. I completely agree that we can often get in the weeds about what we might not have forgetting to embrace, accept and love what we do have. I really hope a lot of people read this comment. THANK YOU! Funny enough I have and I love it every time haha I also always get Betty from Riverdale hah. Sending you some love and really appreciate the time you took to write this out! xo
I haven’t even finished watching the video yet, but I am so touched. I am so tired of looking at my hair in the mirror and feeling anything less than beautiful. I have felt like the people around me don’t really get it or sympathize, so watching this is therapeutic. I feel seen and heard. Thanks so much for making this.
I have the same hair as you, light, thin and fine. You are seriously the ONLY person on YT I found with this type of hair. I am really struggling to grow it past my shoulders as I get the urge to cut it every time I go at the hairdresser, trying to reset it, even if it s really healthy atm. I would love to see a video talking about your haircare routine and fav products (as I imagine it gets greasy pretty quick), also addressing the issue of "to wash or not to wash daily".
Antonia!! I can 100% relate to this because I was literally JUST thinking hmm maybe after lockdown I'll get a solid cut and that will help it look thicker! It is definitely a struggle because we make these decisions and then it's like wow this is going to take a long time to self correct. I would love to make that video for you! I did one on my top tips as well it's on the channel now but when it comes to exact products I can for sure speak to that! Also yes omg second day hair after laying flat on a pillow is the bane of our day isn't it! I'll get to working on creating some more for that! xo
Thank you for this video! I have long straight fine hair that is between thin/medium density. My whole life ive been told that having fine flat hair isnt beautiful and volume is a MUST, and you are supposed to cut off your hair to get volume. Ive always hated that so much because I love having long hair. VOLUME ISNT THE END ALL BE ALL PPL. FLAT HAIR IS ACTUALLY BEAUTIFUL TOO. Fine hair is naturally soft and sleek and if you take good care of it, its shiny and it makes you look like lord of the rings elvish princess. There are so many people trying to get soft sleek shiny hair and we have it naturally! Embrace it ladies
I have recently subscribed to your channel (We were chatting about HC last week) and have been enjoying watching your previous content. OMG! This really resonated with me and my struggle with fine, thin hair. I thought I was the only one!! Everything you describe, always carrying a brush around with me because it looks straggly so quickly, washing it every day, hating the way it looks, it all really resonates! I ruined it with constant washing and straightening, so dry and frizzy. I also wasted so much time and money on the miracle supplements, shampoos, even the Dyson Air wrap thinking it would magically give me amazing, voluminous hair 🤦🏼♀️ I found ‘The Blowout Professor’’s RUclips and his advise has honestly been game changing. I’m finally starting to accept my locks and even have good hair days. So lovely to know I’m not the only one! Thank you ❤ Keep up the good work x
My hair is super fine and thinning like crazy. The way they just keep falling off is mentally draining. I love the way you look. I m so happy to watch your video. First time someone with fine hair is talking about real emotions and feelings.The first think I notice is hair as well cuz that’s my insecurity. I stopped wearing any kind of earrings cuz I didn’t like it on myself anymore. Thank you for the tip I m going to try some earrings after a long time.
Aw I'm so sorry you have been dealing with this Ayesha. My heart goes out to you it's not easy but just know you're not alone at all. And in fact it's totally normal. xo
Having fine hair is my biggest insecurity, I can’t ever put my hair up without it separating and looking like a bald spot . I can’t ever braid my hair it’s so tiny :(
Aw babe I know the struggle. Some days just seem harder than others. I want you to know you are beautiful and this is totally normal! My braid is sooo tiny haha so I find other ways to do my hair that give me more confidence. Have a night where you just play and explore new ways to style your hair all the while speaking positively to yourself. I promise it will help! Sending you some love you are so not alone in this. xo
Thank you so much for this video! It means so much to people with thin hair. You know what I realized lately? When I look at someone like you, I do notice that your hair is fine, but I don't see it as something negative. You're very pretty to me, and so are other women with fine hair. But as soon as it comes to me, I find my fine hair so ugly and it somehow totall weighs down all the features that I actually like about myself, because my hair is all i see. So I wonder why I'm so hard on myself and so judgy, and when it comes to other women, I don't even care how thick their hair is, it doesn't make sense! We should be as gentle to ourselves as we are to anyone else. If we aren't our biggest fan, then who is going to be?! It's so hard though! All I can say is for you: Girl you really dont need to worry! You're beautiful inside and out, not despite your hair, WITH your hair!!
Aw Miley thank you for such a thoughtful and vulnerable comment. I completely echo these statements of only seeing something as a negative on myself. We're so tough on ourselves and things I'll say in my head I would never say to a friend. Maybe that's the change we need to make. I've been working on saying more positive affirmations to myself in the mirror about my hair and honestly it's helped so, so much. Thanks for your kindness it really brought a smile to my face ♥️🥺🙋🏼♀️
PLEASE make more videos about how you blow dry your hair; what do you do with it to sleep on a silk pillowcase?; if you want curls, how much time are you willing to spend on getting any curl? Last weekend with my new Dyson hair styler I spent 15-17 HOURS on RUclips before I found you, my ‘twin’. None of the Dyson tutorials apply to me, and I knew they never would. But please show a desperate gal how you got your hair to look as well as you do in this video. OK? Even though this video is 2 years old i hope to hear from you. This is the 3-4th time I’ve watched these 2 video. You have my heart…I’m willing to do anything for beautiful hair.
Gosh.. couple second ago before open youtube i just said to myself, i love my fine thin hair, because i cant hate myhair, i just going to love it. And then your video pop up myr ecommendation. Love my hair even more💕
i was thinking your hair looks wonderful and even though you say relatable things i couldn't really relate but when you said "having this amount of hair is totally normal" and showed your hair I was like wow this beautiful women has the same exact amount of hair with me and I have never felt this much comfortable with my hair :D thank you for this. I believe we become kinda harsh when it comes to our own body and sometimes its easier to see beauty on other people
I just LOVE you for this whole video! Self talk is SO important! I used to use negative self talk as a means to motivate myself, and I just realized I was being a meanie to myself and starting to believe only the negative. A shift in self talk is so key ❤️
Aw thank you my love! I've been so inspired by how you've taken some uncomfortable topics like debt and just owned it! I feel the same about this kind of topic. Talking about your pain bodies makes them so much easier to tackle. Especially when you have an incredibly supportive community. Love you all!
I always had fine hair but lots of it and it’s red. I never felt pretty growing up but always got compliments on my red hair. I began to really identify with it because of this. I felt like my hair is what made me pretty. Now I am 49 and it’s been thinning out the last few years and it’s very discouraging and depressing. I thought about getting extensions but I don’t really like fake things and I don’t want to damage the hair I do have. I take viviscal hair supplements and use quality hair products to take the best care of it. It’s hard to age for a woman. It gets more difficult and takes way more time and effort to look our best but we all deserve to feel beautiful! We need to not focus on negativity and do our best to love ourselves at every stage of our lives. Thanks for these inspiring videos. It’s so good to see women inspiring women instead of being competitive or putting each other down like I see so much of on IG it’s sad. We are all beautiful in our own unique way!! 💕
I’ve been dealing w/ telogen effluvium on top of already having thin hair and it seems like such a superficial thing to be upset about but it does really take a toll on your confidence. I actually LOVED these tips and mostly you made me feel like I’m not the only one in the world w/ this insecurity. Love u Amanda❤️
I am happy I found this video. I have extremely thin hair and tonight I attempted to curl it to look nice for a dinner and it came out terrible. you could see my scalp in so many places. I spent so long on it and just gave up once I started crying from disappointment. This video helped me feel a little better
Aw Cheyenne I am so sorry you feel this way love. I bet that was a super low point. Sending you so much love because I know that's not easy. So glad you took some love from this video. You're definitely not alone in this!
Thank you for your thin hair videos! ❤️ could you possibly do one for hairstyles for thin hair or even just general styling tips for how you do your own hair? Yours looks great and I’d love to put more care into embracing mine rather than just pulling it back to avoid it/hide it
Aw my pleasure Kaycie! It was scary at first but this community is so supportive and I love you all. Funny enough I just bough these beautiful scrunchies that I wanted to do a video on so I will get to it! Trust me when I say the moment you start really focusing on longterm care it's going to make it so much easier in the long run! xo Sending you all the love!
You look so much like Blake Lively!! Thank you for your videos, my hair literally looks exactly like yours does & I search RUclips high and low for channels that have a more comparable texture as mine. Your tips are helpful and encouraging ❤️
My hair has always been thick and beautiful, until recently... I now have thin/fine hair. There are some days where the look of my hair is extremely hard to deal with. I don't like looking at myself, purely for the dislike of my hair now. My hair was once my protector, it made me feel safe and secure. Now, it does the opposite. Each time you showed your hair gathered up together I cried a little. Your hair is exactly like mine. It's beyond comforting to see someone else in the same boat as I am. Not to just hear about it, but to actually see it - and you are beautiful. I have felt so gross as of late, but it's time to accept the changes in my hair as my new reality. I have to make the choice to love me exactly as I am and put my attention on what I do feel good about, instead of the parts I have no control over. I needed to hear your words far more than I would have guessed. I initially skipped the feel good talking part of the video because I watched for the tips, but I decided to go ahead and watch from the beginning and I'm so glad I did. Thank you and God bless. ❤️
I am 71 and have struggled with my fine thin hair...very blonde as a child. Didn’t have much hair until I was 3 or 4. I have gone through so much with my hair over the long decades. I still color my hair at my favorite salon. I wish I could grow my hair a little longer but I am growing out some layers. My hair looks great when I style my hair in the morning but by noon it is a flop especially in the summer my hair looks terrible because I love to work in the yard. If I need to go to the store I feel I need to curl my hair be before I go out. I also have had bangs since I was a child and have never been able to grow them out. I hate them because they separate unless I brush my hair or run a comb through my hair. Thanks for your video...so many of us out there.see my pic with my young kitty...no makeup. Glad I don’t go to work anymore. Ugh...my Mom had the same hair, Dad was bald, both grandmothers on both sides have the same fine hair...I guess I am glad I have hair at all..lol.
Oh Holly my heart goes out to you that you feel this way. Genetics can be so frustrating! I always hate when I do my hair in the morning and then in the afternoon I'm confused what happened haha, you're not alone in that sense! xo
So glad you made this video ;)) I, of course, have very fine hair and it is my biggest insecurity. I’m only a couple minutes into the video though, and it has already given me more confidence!! Thanks Amanda
The other girl said it first...you're the only one that ACTUALLY has the same hair density and structure. So hard to find relatable fine hair videos cause you see the other peoples hair and are like "that's thin and fine?...yeesh". But your tips and outlook are great! Thanks for the great content!!
Oh, my hair is also thin, fine and greasy. I discovered, that there is two options for me: if I want shiny, silky hair, I wash my hair with shampoo and conditioner, but hair looks very thin. If I want more volume, I wash hair with dry soap, but then my hair looses that shiny look.
You're amazing, thank you for sharing your thoughts! I have fine long hair aswell but the hairdressers told me i have a lot of hair. I have a few tips on top to protect your beautiful fine hair: - a silk pillow - a silk scrunchie - microfiber towel - always air drying the hair - only shampoos with natural ingredients for sure - oil treatments for the scalp - cutting spliss and the ends every month That's it!:) - i forgot to mention a healthy diet is probably the most important
Your hair looks amazing! You are so beautiful. Do you wash your hair at night or in the morning. I go back and forth on this. My hair looks better when I wash and style in the morning. But for time purposes night is better. I love your stlye. Do you have long face layers and side bangs? Also what hairbrush do you recommend? I have been using boars bristles for years and it seems to be the best.
Hi love! So I typically wash my hair in the morning. Even now with extensions I find my natural hair just performs better after that first lovely hair wash day and then get's progressively flatter lol (we know the struggle of that). I then plan different hair styles from that day forward that kind of suit that hair wash cycle. I go back and forth with shampoo but my favourite lately has been the Redken acidic bonding concentrate (you can find it on Amazon, Chatters and some more places!) I try to ask for really long layers when I have just my natural hair and or none. I use the wet brush or a wide toothed comb and then I have similar to you I have a brush with the boars bristles! My Mom has used those for years so I've followed suit! And a big round brush to create some volume at the root 🥰 Gosh put a quarter in me and I will go forever haha Hope that helps! xo
I wore my fake hair bun for first time today, my hair is brown, but looking at your hair mine is about same thickness. Thanks for sharing - it really helps to know that a lot of other ppl have this hair type, I have to train myself to ignore media images of thick shiny manes of hair.
Aw my pleasure Joanne. I know it is one of those things that unless you have fine hair you can't really understand how distracting and internal it can be. After having my hair natural through the majority of the pandemic I can now honestly say I've come to a serious point of acceptance. When I have my extensions out I'm happy and when I have them in I'm happy. It's a really nice place to finally come to. Sending you all the love and joy for 2022! xo
Thank you for your videos. I was born with fine, thin hair. I’m 63 now. It has always been a part of my lack of confidence. I am always looking for ways to treat my hair, style it and also play with makeup. I had a hairstylist say loudly to another client that I had the finest, thinnest hair he’d ever seen. That was embarrassing. A friend’s mother said something similar to me once. It seems it’s my identity to other people. After watching your other video I felt better using one of your tips for a bolder lip before a big family dinner last weekend. I have nice eyes. I’m always searching for makeup to highlight my eyes. Anyway, thanks for your videos.
Oh my gosh Jill I would be absolutely crushed if someone did that to me! I'm so sorry you had that happen to you. I'm so happy you found some of these tips helpful that brings the biggest smile to my face ♥️ Thank you for commenting and sharing your story it means so much to me! Sending you loads of love!
I’m still in my 20s and I have had this hair since birth from my mum and grandma who were the same. I never had anyone in my life like a friend who had the same insecurity and when I say it’s my biggest one everyone seems surprised and maybe it’s for a reason maybe we the only ones who think about this because to us is a big deal. I need to start to embrace my heritage and where I got it from I could have none and I’m grateful for my 3 strands today :,)
When I comb my hair, I pretend it is delicate silk. I start at the bottom and comb very carefully, with my other hand holding the section firmly from above between two fingers and moving upwards as I comb. That way, I won’t stretch the hairs along their full length, which can break them. My intention is to not break a single hair. We have to face the fact that fine hair is weaker, and treat it with care.
Merry I love this! It sounds like you find time in your day to make this a mini mindful meditation moment and meanwhile it sounds like you're doing an amazing job taking care of your hair. I applaud you :)
Thank you so much for this. My hair used to be so thick and full but it's fallen out due to stress and growing it back is... Unfun and not working well. Reading these comments is helping me so much.
Just looking at girls with amazing big hair or like super long healthy wavy hair, makes me feel insecure about mine! social media can sometimes suck lol
Oh I can totally relate! I know these kinds of things can be triggering but I guarantee there are things about you that others see and are so jealous of too! I get caught up in just focusing on that one thing all the time too. xo
Don't fall for them gal those are mostly extensions... natural beauty like Amanda and you are better than manmade ones🙈❤️ love yourself and social media is a trap☠️🤧
I watched this video after commenting for my first ever time on your last one about fine and thinning hair...Again, Thank You so so much! the only person on YT I can actually believe feels the same way as me and experiences the same struggles I do. You find such a positive, realistic way to solutions and I'm grateful. x
Not only was I treated to your first comment but also your second! I am one lucky gal haha! Thank you Elisabeth! I can honestly say even though I have ups and downs with it I am more confident than ever after changing some of these day to day practices. Positive self talk the biggest one! Means the most! xo
Yes, my thin hair really gets me down. Going through the menopause, it's even worse now because of hair loss. I also have age spots on my face, so I feel so self conscious. It's so hard to do a different style, because it's so thin, if I straighten my hair it'll look okish that day, but next day it will be like a rat's tail. The other problem is my hair texture has changed with age, the ends of my hair are so puffy, no matter how much product I put in it. I have to put leave in conditioner in the ends of my hair, a couple of times a day. I have had people tell my on my face how different I look now,and not in a good way.I wouldn't dream of hurting someone in that way. Thanks for your video. It helps to read the comments and realise that I'm not alone.
I just found this video and I legit have thin hair as much as you and I'm sooo scared to go bald as I get older. This video makes me feel better about my thin hair
I too have what is considered to be fine or thin hair but guess what...I don't care! It was my insecurity in the past, but I got over it as I got older and possibly more secure in myself. My advice for feeling confident while having one of the most common physical traits observed is to stop fixating on looks. The most charming and all-around successful women I know are not conventionally beautiful, and some of them have thin hair.
YASSS! This is so wonderful to hear! It's so great to remember that we can truly grow into ourselves and become more confident and comfortable withe the space we are allowed to take up. Thank you for this advice as well. xo
I come back to this video a few times a year because I am so sad about my hair. My hair like many others, is my biggest insecurity and it makes me cry.
Aw darling I'm sending you so much love 🤍 I'm so sorry to hear this is a struggle for you. I can totally sympathize but you're not alone. Sending you the biggest hug
This is so amazing and I needed to hear this message I feel more confident about my hair now. Especially u showing the density of your own hair. Thank u thank u
Thank you for this video. Im a 27 year old male with long hair and i thought i was balding for the longest time. When it gets oily it makes pulling my hair back look silly.
As you can see from my profile picture I have incredibly baby fine thin hair!!! I have always hated it becuase I have always wanted long hair but my hair breaks so easily becuase it's so fine and so I always have a head full of split ends and my hair won't grow past a certain length !!! I get so jealous of women with thick beautiful long hair!!!! And the other thing that is so incredibly frustrating is that I don't do anything to my hair for it to be breaking !!!! I don't dye it ...I don't blow dry it!!!I get frequent trims ...and I don't wash my hair everyday but it doesn't matter what I do my hair is always full of split ends and from doing research I guess it just from simply brushing my hair!!!! Since my hair is so baby fine it breaks when I brush it and so I'm thinking well what am I supose to do???not brush my hair???? But I found a brush that is specifically made for fine thin hair and it seems to be helping a little bit but my hair still breaks when I brush it...I also get frustrated when I see videos of women saying their hair is too fine and thin and there hair is not even close to being as baby fine and thin as mine!!!! So basically if you don't have my type of hair you will never understand the frustration so I love watching channels like yours with other women that have the same problem because you understand how upsetting and frustrating it is to have this hair type!!! Thankyou for all your hair hacks for thin fine hair!!!!
Your hair is beautiful! And you are so inspiring❤️ It’s so exciting for me to see someone online talking about fine hair confidence! Just want you to know that you made my day :) Definitely your new subscriber❤️
Thank you so much!! This just made my day! We have such a supportive community here and having fine hair is 100% natural and normal. Sending you some love!
My hair is exactly, and I mean exactly like yours…the fineness, the thinness…to the degree where our hair line, and part, and even the little spot on top of your hairline are identical!!! (I think we are genetically related somewhere along the lines, lol). Ps..I can’t get mine as long…my hair is just coming out of over processing now, but I don’t have the face shape to handle longer hair…so, I’m probably going to do a Bob again…so bored with it but will try and keep it healthy at least, and not expect too much. I do occasionally get it up in a clip but it’s a bit hard because my hair is shorter…I try. But, thank you for the encouragement. I appreciate it.
Sending you so much love! Something I like to do when I'm feeling low about my natural hair is try a new pair of earrings or put on my favourite outfit (or my most confident everyday uniform) with a beautiful fragrance and a lipstick. So many things we can draw attention to when we're not feeling as confident on top. But I also know it can be hard to unspiral when you're in the thick of it. ❤️
Your hair is thicker than mine . I have spent so much money on hair products it is ridiculous. The best tools I have used are the Voloom iron and the Sam Villa texturizing iron. Better than any styling products. I would love to get extension for fine hair (like great lengths) but I just can’t pay $2000 for it to last 4-5 months.
I can completely understand this Jen. It's wildly expensive and can really hit the bank account. I saw another lovely lady mention the halo ones maybe this would be an option worth looking into. I'll have to check out those hair tools thanks for recommending them!
I have very fine, thin hair and I spend a lot of time taking care of it with 100% natural products. I used to feel very insecure about my hair, but now when I want my dream hair I just wear extensions. Extensions can give me my dream hair, then I make sure to pamper my real hair so I can wear extensions.
Thanks so much for this vid! So good & I really enjoyed ur vid 🥰thanks for bringing love & encouragement, such a great reminder tt we r unique the way r & work w what we have. U r beautiful the way u are! 💕❤ 1 helpful tip is to carry a small bottle of dry shampoo. It helps me so much esp when I have oily skin, my hair tends to fall flat by noon & dry shampoo helps to bring volume back to the hair! Have a lovely wkend! 🌈😘
Building momentum Amanda on a roll thoroughly impressive here early looking forward to the next feature segments fascinating and beautiful earrings you’re literally glowing gratefully appreciate you 💃
Thank you for posting this!! I followed you from the previous video about managing fine hair. Would you be able to link the scrunchie that you used or would recommend? Would love to try! Thanks so much :)
Aw my pleasure Joey! So I found it at a little local shop gathering (can't even imagine a market like that anymore) but I'd just check out your local drug mart and see if they've got some thicker ones! It seems in your profile you've got beautiful dark hair so I'd suggest getting one close to your hair colour! xo
I try to convince myself that it is perfectly okay to have fine thin hair ,but some people can't stop talking about my hair and reminding me that I have fine and thin hair 😑.and somehow again i become insecure. I know it is wrong but I can't help it! But listening to u , I really feel nice !😊
Aw Liza I am so sorry that you have to deal with other people bringing this up. I wonder if there are some boundaries or some conversations you can have with them to make that stop. Whenever we talk about an insecurity it gives it a little less power. The feelings about them come in waves as well. Know you're not alone and you will never be alone on this topic. xo
Loved the clip but my hair won't hold clips or Bobby pins etc. They all slid out. I hate it. So I just accepted this is my hair. And that's just fine and ok.
I know this will be hard to believe, but getting grey hair has been kind of a godsend for me. Because my hair has always been so fine, it really benefited from the texture that came with grey hair. I feel like it not only provided texture, but also additional thickness. Now just to clarify; I do color my hair. I'm not about having grey hair, as I feel it ages people. But I have always colored my hair, but never felt the thickness I feel now. Don't get me wrong, my hair is still thin, but I think it looks better now. So, I'm just saying this to provide some inspiration to those who getting a little older.
Hi I've just seen this amazing video..mu hair has held me back since it been thinning since I was 21..im now 40 and have very little left my hair used to be 5 times thicker and so full ..ur video is helping me stay positive.. but one big question please.. I have played with specialist hair bond extensions for fine hair..the specialist salon advises they shpuld be fine to use providing I look after them etc..if I had a few for volumes not length what is your view ..I find they help mu confidence but worried it would make it worse...did u find ur extensions didn't damage ur hair ? Would u use them again ? Xxx thank you
The worst part is not just random strangers but even your closest people - your friends and family mock you. It feels terrible. I have came up with a trick to manage such situation. Whenever i feel like someone is going to make fun of my hair, i do it myself. Yes that's what i do. I don't like doing this but do i have a choice🙂
The hardest part of having my hair fine is that when I was younger my hair was curly and fully. I didn’t used the new reality. I’ll try to accept that is normally. Thabks
Hi Amanda, I am so happy that I found you on RUclips. I am from Germany and I have the same hair as you and same story with extensions 😊. After having kids my hair just stayed the same... but I am trying so many expensive products which promise thicker hair and I wanted to ask you, if you had any experience with such products? 🌸melY
Mely this made my day! Welcome to this little nook of the internet! I haven't found products that necessarily make my hair thicker but rather I've found some awesome products and have learned how to better care for what I have if that makes sense. All of that has helped me embrace my natural hair when I don't have my extensions in. It then takes less of an emotional toll either way which is great! I would even suggest reading through some of the comments because there are some great recommendations from women just like us who have tried different things. One huge thing that I know affects everything we see on the outside is what we eat. I'm working towards eating cleaner and drinking tons of water which I think just helps everything! xo
Aw my pleasure love! We're in this together and it is TOTALLY NORMAL AND BEAUTIFUL to embrace and take care of what we've got! Sending you some love xo
my hair goes limp the day after i wash it. if i have time to blow dry it with some thickening serum from my salon it looks really full (it's sort of long which is the first time in my life it's gotten past my shoulders) and voluminous but the DAY AFTER it splits all over my scalp, bald looking spots everywhere. AND my hair parts down the back. it looks atrocious. i LOVE my claw clip but even then the hair on top i have to position just so so i don't have bald looking streaks all over. ugh! it's been like this my whole life, it's purely genetic, and have gotten made fun of for it since i was little. i did ballet growing up and my tiny bun was hilarious to everyone :( in high school girls would poke my head and be shocked at how little hair there was. it was really embarrassing.
I come from a family with thin, fine hair and married into a family where the women have unusually thick, luxurious hair. Then when I went through menopause, half the hair I did have suddenly fell out. Sigh.
I had very similar hair texture as Amanda's, but mine was terribly damaged as well. The very BEST tip I can give you is to go no poo, and only wash twice a week at most, whenever possible! Honestly, my hair has transformed tremendously. Night and day difference! My hair is still on the finer side, but it has become thicker, healthier, stronger, softer, manageable, and I have natural volume... and I rarely ever blow dry my hair. It's a must try!
So happy to hear you've seen a transformation! I've been seeing a difference focusing more on restoring moisture this winter with masks and limiting my washes as well! Thanks for the thoughtful comment!
Everybody keeps pointing it out and it hurts. It used to be ok, but recently they have been thinning even more and I can't get rid of my stress. I sometimes think I should just shave them off, but then I have school. People will make fun of me, bully me, so I can't do anything. I've lost all self confidence and I know it's genetic but it keeps getting worse. I feel like crap and almost never leave my house. I hate my life so much.
I have such fine thin hair with a bit of a natural wave/curl. But not the kind that looks good scrunched or natural. It’s rather frizzy… which is also a challenge for drying… so the whole curl brush thing doesn’t work for me. Which means flat iron! 🤦🏼♀️.
Hi Kali! I got them from Oak and Fort a really long time ago. I don't see them on their website now but they have some really pretty options there now. :) ca.oakandfort.com/womens/jewelry/earrings?page=5
Does anyone have any tips for thinning hair? I always had a very full head of thick hair but since lockdown last March my hair has been thinning - especially in the front. It's so discouraging to shampoo in the shower. My blood work is fine except for low Vitamin D so I've upped that amount. Any one else can relate?
Hi Mar, so happy to hear you've been looking for answers like getting bloodwork done. I wish I had some more insight on this but fingers crossed someone in the comments can give some tips. Wonder if stress is playing a part? Sending you some love I can imagine this is very frustrating. xo
Hi have you ever tried SEAMOSS for hair thinning ?? I really think you should try some wildcrafted seamoss for your hair .. please do your own research and then proceed if you like what you see . Best wishes to you and yours !!
Aw I'm so sorry you're feeling this way Patricia. I task you with finding 3 things you love about yourself today ❤️ I know there is something about you, you might not be seeing at the moment that others do!
I found Jesus and it really helped with feeling better about my hair. This body is just a temporary vessel and Jesus knows every hair on my head and he loves me and he made me and knew me before the foundation of the earth. I also shaved my head during my low point before I got saved and now it’s been two years and it’s shoulder length now and I feel so good about it.
Thank you 🙏 for the claw clip tutorial cannot wait for more claw clip tutorial in the near future but I’ve only see the front but I haven’t seen the back which is supposed to be the claw clip as shown on 5:27 but one day you will show the back of your hair for more claw clip tutorial as shown on 5:27 for your RUclips channel amanda Weldon. On 6:30-6:34 but maybe one day as a future note you will show the back which has the claw clip which is true.
Sending you all some love and I am so thankful for this community. If you are looking to refer back to something very specific here are the video chapters. 🌟

Thank you for this video, a huge encouragement for me with my very very thin hair. Also I love your lipstick! Can I ask what it is? So pretty.
It’s hard when people tell you you have thin hair. I was working and a lady came in and she was asking questions about a product at my work and then she said “ can I tell you something” and I thought it was about the product and then she started saying about my hair and loudly in front of about 20 people. I was so embarrassed. Other women have put me down at my other job and I’ve been hearing about my fine thin hair since I was 15. I’m 33 now and I’m so tired of hearing it, it hurts 😓
April that would have made me so uncomfortable too. I'm so sorry you had to experience that.♥️ Sending you some love there are a ton of people here who can relate that's for sure!
Shame on her!!
That is so rude! Why do people think that's appropriate? Seriously, I've had total strangers make hurtful remarks about my physical appearance, too. I don't understand why they think they have the right to do that. It's not like you can go back to God and ask him for a genetic change.
People have told me I have thin hair and it is all I can do not to reply meanly. I don’t because that would be a dirty play but I bet there Karma blows!
I don’t know why people have to comment on fine hair! Obviously it’s them that have a problem with it, don’t let them make you feel it’s a problem, truth be know they feel crap about themselves and just love to put other people down !!
I had a horrible mental breakdown today about my thin hair. I was getting ready for the gym and put my hair in a bun and ripped it out over and over for an hour, no exaggeration. I just couldn't get it to look "presentable". I gave up and stayed home. I found these videos because I needed help and encouragement, and I found it. I'm still feeling really defeated, but definitely feel better.
Aw hi Sarah. I'm so sorry you had to go through this today. It just breaks my heart to read comments like this but I can totally relate love. Know you are so not alone in this struggle and I know this is something you can overcome. Sending you some love and a big virtual snuggle ♥️
Me too, I had exactly the same morning with my hair. I wore my fake hair bun for the first time today, I hate wearing fake hair but it made me feel human today.
I’ve been there so many times too . It’s so depressing. Idk how to cope. I never leave the house.
I found some great bun cages from Camilla Paris on Amazon that hide my tiny bun and look very interesting.
Watch channels like curly proverbz or Katherine sewing. Your fine hair will always be fine, but you can grow more individual hairs and stop breakage.
You are so right...having thin hair is totally normal and totally common...so obvious but I needed to hear it...thank you..💕
My pleasure Dori! Thanks you for always being so kind in the comments it never goes unnoticed! 🥰
To me women with fine hair and thick hair both radiate beauty but in different ways, and I often find people tend to overlook the genuine beauty of fine hair . For example I’d say finer haired women can give off a very angelic and delicate, doll like aesthetic, especially when they embrace their natural beauty and take care of their hair. - So to anyone reading this I hope it reminds you that; -beauty is subjective -that you should teach yourself to become more open minded in the realm of beauty, - and you should do your best to learn to idolize the features similar to yours so that you can learn to then idolize yourself.
(Sorry my writing is a bit all over the place but I hope you get the message!!)
Also I really enjoyed your video! Your hair looks lovely, the kind of side bangs you’ve got going on frame your face nicely.
-You look so much like Blake Lively! I was wondering if anyone has told you that before? Xxx
Aw Elaine! This was such a wonderful message and truly a wonderful reminder. I completely agree that we can often get in the weeds about what we might not have forgetting to embrace, accept and love what we do have. I really hope a lot of people read this comment. THANK YOU! Funny enough I have and I love it every time haha I also always get Betty from Riverdale hah. Sending you some love and really appreciate the time you took to write this out! xo
I haven’t even finished watching the video yet, but I am so touched. I am so tired of looking at my hair in the mirror and feeling anything less than beautiful. I have felt like the people around me don’t really get it or sympathize, so watching this is therapeutic. I feel seen and heard. Thanks so much for making this.
Aw I am so happy it spoke to you babe! You are so not alone there are a ton of women in the comments that feel so similar. xo
I have the same hair as you, light, thin and fine. You are seriously the ONLY person on YT I found with this type of hair. I am really struggling to grow it past my shoulders as I get the urge to cut it every time I go at the hairdresser, trying to reset it, even if it s really healthy atm. I would love to see a video talking about your haircare routine and fav products (as I imagine it gets greasy pretty quick), also addressing the issue of "to wash or not to wash daily".
Antonia!! I can 100% relate to this because I was literally JUST thinking hmm maybe after lockdown I'll get a solid cut and that will help it look thicker! It is definitely a struggle because we make these decisions and then it's like wow this is going to take a long time to self correct. I would love to make that video for you! I did one on my top tips as well it's on the channel now but when it comes to exact products I can for sure speak to that! Also yes omg second day hair after laying flat on a pillow is the bane of our day isn't it! I'll get to working on creating some more for that! xo
Thank you for this video! I have long straight fine hair that is between thin/medium density. My whole life ive been told that having fine flat hair isnt beautiful and volume is a MUST, and you are supposed to cut off your hair to get volume. Ive always hated that so much because I love having long hair. VOLUME ISNT THE END ALL BE ALL PPL. FLAT HAIR IS ACTUALLY BEAUTIFUL TOO. Fine hair is naturally soft and sleek and if you take good care of it, its shiny and it makes you look like lord of the rings elvish princess. There are so many people trying to get soft sleek shiny hair and we have it naturally! Embrace it ladies
I have recently subscribed to your channel (We were chatting about HC last week) and have been enjoying watching your previous content.
OMG! This really resonated with me and my struggle with fine, thin hair. I thought I was the only one!! Everything you describe, always carrying a brush around with me because it looks straggly so quickly, washing it every day, hating the way it looks, it all really resonates! I ruined it with constant washing and straightening, so dry and frizzy. I also wasted so much time and money on the miracle supplements, shampoos, even the Dyson Air wrap thinking it would magically give me amazing, voluminous hair 🤦🏼♀️
I found ‘The Blowout Professor’’s RUclips and his advise has honestly been game changing. I’m finally starting to accept my locks and even have good hair days.
So lovely to know I’m not the only one! Thank you ❤
Keep up the good work x
My hair is super fine and thinning like crazy. The way they just keep falling off is mentally draining. I love the way you look. I m so happy to watch your video. First time someone with fine hair is talking about real emotions and feelings.The first think I notice is hair as well cuz that’s my insecurity. I stopped wearing any kind of earrings cuz I didn’t like it on myself anymore. Thank you for the tip I m going to try some earrings after a long time.
Aw I'm so sorry you have been dealing with this Ayesha. My heart goes out to you it's not easy but just know you're not alone at all. And in fact it's totally normal. xo
Having fine hair is my biggest insecurity, I can’t ever put my hair up without it separating and looking like a bald spot . I can’t ever braid my hair it’s so tiny :(
Aw babe I know the struggle. Some days just seem harder than others. I want you to know you are beautiful and this is totally normal! My braid is sooo tiny haha so I find other ways to do my hair that give me more confidence. Have a night where you just play and explore new ways to style your hair all the while speaking positively to yourself. I promise it will help! Sending you some love you are so not alone in this. xo
I can’t do anything with mine.
@@patriciakeats1621 me neither. No braid, no bun, not even a ponytail :(
Thank you so much for this video! It means so much to people with thin hair. You know what I realized lately? When I look at someone like you, I do notice that your hair is fine, but I don't see it as something negative. You're very pretty to me, and so are other women with fine hair. But as soon as it comes to me, I find my fine hair so ugly and it somehow totall weighs down all the features that I actually like about myself, because my hair is all i see. So I wonder why I'm so hard on myself and so judgy, and when it comes to other women, I don't even care how thick their hair is, it doesn't make sense! We should be as gentle to ourselves as we are to anyone else. If we aren't our biggest fan, then who is going to be?! It's so hard though! All I can say is for you: Girl you really dont need to worry! You're beautiful inside and out, not despite your hair, WITH your hair!!
Aw Miley thank you for such a thoughtful and vulnerable comment. I completely echo these statements of only seeing something as a negative on myself. We're so tough on ourselves and things I'll say in my head I would never say to a friend. Maybe that's the change we need to make. I've been working on saying more positive affirmations to myself in the mirror about my hair and honestly it's helped so, so much. Thanks for your kindness it really brought a smile to my face ♥️🥺🙋🏼♀️
PLEASE make more videos about how you blow dry your hair; what do you do with it to sleep on a silk pillowcase?; if you want curls, how much time are you willing to spend on getting any curl? Last weekend with my new Dyson hair styler I spent 15-17 HOURS on RUclips before I found you, my ‘twin’. None of the Dyson tutorials apply to me, and I knew they never would. But please show a desperate gal how you got your hair to look as well as you do in this video. OK? Even though this video is 2 years old i hope to hear from you. This is the 3-4th time I’ve watched these 2 video. You have my heart…I’m willing to do anything for beautiful hair.
Gosh.. couple second ago before open youtube i just said to myself, i love my fine thin hair, because i cant hate myhair, i just going to love it. And then your video pop up myr ecommendation. Love my hair even more💕
No way!! Wow meant to be! Thanks for sharing this with me love! I'm so happy to hear
i was thinking your hair looks wonderful and even though you say relatable things i couldn't really relate but when you said "having this amount of hair is totally normal" and showed your hair I was like wow this beautiful women has the same exact amount of hair with me and I have never felt this much comfortable with my hair :D thank you for this. I believe we become kinda harsh when it comes to our own body and sometimes its easier to see beauty on other people
I just LOVE you for this whole video! Self talk is SO important! I used to use negative self talk as a means to motivate myself, and I just realized I was being a meanie to myself and starting to believe only the negative. A shift in self talk is so key ❤️
Aw thank you my love! I've been so inspired by how you've taken some uncomfortable topics like debt and just owned it! I feel the same about this kind of topic. Talking about your pain bodies makes them so much easier to tackle. Especially when you have an incredibly supportive community. Love you all!
I always had fine hair but lots of it and it’s red. I never felt pretty growing up but always got compliments on my red hair. I began to really identify with it because of this. I felt like my hair is what made me pretty. Now I am 49 and it’s been thinning out the last few years and it’s very discouraging and depressing. I thought about getting extensions but I don’t really like fake things and I don’t want to damage the hair I do have. I take viviscal hair supplements and use quality hair products to take the best care of it. It’s hard to age for a woman. It gets more difficult and takes way more time and effort to look our best but we all deserve to feel beautiful! We need to not focus on negativity and do our best to love ourselves at every stage of our lives. Thanks for these inspiring videos. It’s so good to see women inspiring women instead of being competitive or putting each other down like I see so much of on IG it’s sad. We are all beautiful in our own unique way!! 💕
I’ve been dealing w/ telogen effluvium on top of already having thin hair and it seems like such a superficial thing to be upset about but it does really take a toll on your confidence. I actually LOVED these tips and mostly you made me feel like I’m not the only one in the world w/ this insecurity. Love u Amanda❤️
Aw so happy this helped even just a little bit! Sending you so much love Bianca! xo
I am happy I found this video. I have extremely thin hair and tonight I attempted to curl it to look nice for a dinner and it came out terrible. you could see my scalp in so many places. I spent so long on it and just gave up once I started crying from disappointment. This video helped me feel a little better
Aw Cheyenne I am so sorry you feel this way love. I bet that was a super low point. Sending you so much love because I know that's not easy. So glad you took some love from this video. You're definitely not alone in this!
As a fine thin hair gal I appreciate this video so much!! Thank you for sharing
Aw my pleasure beauty! Really embracing it now and taking care of my hair and I am learning to love it again!
Thank you for your thin hair videos! ❤️ could you possibly do one for hairstyles for thin hair or even just general styling tips for how you do your own hair? Yours looks great and I’d love to put more care into embracing mine rather than just pulling it back to avoid it/hide it
Aw my pleasure Kaycie! It was scary at first but this community is so supportive and I love you all. Funny enough I just bough these beautiful scrunchies that I wanted to do a video on so I will get to it! Trust me when I say the moment you start really focusing on longterm care it's going to make it so much easier in the long run! xo Sending you all the love!
You look so much like Blake Lively!!
Thank you for your videos, my hair literally looks exactly like yours does & I search RUclips high and low for channels that have a more comparable texture as mine.
Your tips are helpful and encouraging ❤️
My hair has always been thick and beautiful, until recently... I now have thin/fine hair. There are some days where the look of my hair is extremely hard to deal with. I don't like looking at myself, purely for the dislike of my hair now. My hair was once my protector, it made me feel safe and secure. Now, it does the opposite. Each time you showed your hair gathered up together I cried a little. Your hair is exactly like mine. It's beyond comforting to see someone else in the same boat as I am. Not to just hear about it, but to actually see it - and you are beautiful. I have felt so gross as of late, but it's time to accept the changes in my hair as my new reality. I have to make the choice to love me exactly as I am and put my attention on what I do feel good about, instead of the parts I have no control over. I needed to hear your words far more than I would have guessed. I initially skipped the feel good talking part of the video because I watched for the tips, but I decided to go ahead and watch from the beginning and I'm so glad I did. Thank you and God bless. ❤️
I am 71 and have struggled with my fine thin hair...very blonde as a child. Didn’t have much hair until I was 3 or 4. I have gone through so much with my hair over the long decades. I still color my hair at my favorite salon. I wish I could grow my hair a little longer but I am growing out some layers. My hair looks great when I style my hair in the morning but by noon it is a flop especially in the summer my hair looks terrible because I love to work in the yard. If I need to go to the store I feel I need to curl my hair be before I go out. I also have had bangs since I was a child and have never been able to grow them out. I hate them because they separate unless I brush my hair or run a comb through my hair. Thanks for your video...so many of us out there.see my pic with my young kitty...no makeup. Glad I don’t go to work anymore. Ugh...my Mom had the same hair, Dad was bald, both grandmothers on both sides have the same fine hair...I guess I am glad I have hair at all..lol.
Oh Holly my heart goes out to you that you feel this way. Genetics can be so frustrating! I always hate when I do my hair in the morning and then in the afternoon I'm confused what happened haha, you're not alone in that sense! xo
Same…genetics handed it down the line.
So glad you made this video ;))
I, of course, have very fine hair and it is my biggest insecurity. I’m only a couple minutes into the video though, and it has already given me more confidence!! Thanks Amanda
Aw that brings me so much joy! Thank you for showing up here and commenting it makes all of this so worth it!
The other girl said it first...you're the only one that ACTUALLY has the same hair density and structure. So hard to find relatable fine hair videos cause you see the other peoples hair and are like "that's thin and fine?...yeesh". But your tips and outlook are great! Thanks for the great content!!
Aw my pleasure Nicole!! Hope you're doing well beauty 🥰
Yup, that’s true.
Oh, my hair is also thin, fine and greasy. I discovered, that there is two options for me: if I want shiny, silky hair, I wash my hair with shampoo and conditioner, but hair looks very thin. If I want more volume, I wash hair with dry soap, but then my hair looses that shiny look.
You're amazing, thank you for sharing your thoughts!
I have fine long hair aswell but the hairdressers told me i have a lot of hair.
I have a few tips on top to protect your beautiful fine hair:
- a silk pillow
- a silk scrunchie
- microfiber towel
- always air drying the hair
- only shampoos with natural ingredients for sure
- oil treatments for the scalp
- cutting spliss and the ends every month
That's it!:)
- i forgot to mention a healthy diet is probably the most important
These are all phenomenal tips! Thank you for watching and such a meaningful comment!
Your hair looks amazing! You are so beautiful.
Do you wash your hair at night or in the morning. I go back and forth on this. My hair looks better when I wash and style in the morning. But for time purposes night is better. I love your stlye. Do you have long face layers and side bangs? Also what hairbrush do you recommend? I have been using boars bristles for years and it seems to be the best.
Hi love! So I typically wash my hair in the morning. Even now with extensions I find my natural hair just performs better after that first lovely hair wash day and then get's progressively flatter lol (we know the struggle of that). I then plan different hair styles from that day forward that kind of suit that hair wash cycle. I go back and forth with shampoo but my favourite lately has been the Redken acidic bonding concentrate (you can find it on Amazon, Chatters and some more places!) I try to ask for really long layers when I have just my natural hair and or none. I use the wet brush or a wide toothed comb and then I have similar to you I have a brush with the boars bristles! My Mom has used those for years so I've followed suit! And a big round brush to create some volume at the root 🥰 Gosh put a quarter in me and I will go forever haha Hope that helps! xo
I wore my fake hair bun for first time today, my hair is brown, but looking at your hair mine is about same thickness. Thanks for sharing - it really helps to know that a lot of other ppl have this hair type, I have to train myself to ignore media images of thick shiny manes of hair.
Aw my pleasure Joanne. I know it is one of those things that unless you have fine hair you can't really understand how distracting and internal it can be. After having my hair natural through the majority of the pandemic I can now honestly say I've come to a serious point of acceptance. When I have my extensions out I'm happy and when I have them in I'm happy. It's a really nice place to finally come to. Sending you all the love and joy for 2022! xo
@@AmandaWeldon Thank you :) Love and Joy for 2022 to you too x
Thank you for your videos. I was born with fine, thin hair. I’m 63 now. It has always been a part of my lack of confidence. I am always looking for ways to treat my hair, style it and also play with makeup. I had a hairstylist say loudly to another client that I had the finest, thinnest hair he’d ever seen. That was embarrassing. A friend’s mother said something similar to me once. It seems it’s my identity to other people. After watching your other video I felt better using one of your tips for a bolder lip before a big family dinner last weekend. I have nice eyes. I’m always searching for makeup to highlight my eyes. Anyway, thanks for your videos.
Oh my gosh Jill I would be absolutely crushed if someone did that to me! I'm so sorry you had that happen to you. I'm so happy you found some of these tips helpful that brings the biggest smile to my face ♥️ Thank you for commenting and sharing your story it means so much to me! Sending you loads of love!
I’m still in my 20s and I have had this hair since birth from my mum and grandma who were the same. I never had anyone in my life like a friend who had the same insecurity and when I say it’s my biggest one everyone seems surprised and maybe it’s for a reason maybe we the only ones who think about this because to us is a big deal. I need to start to embrace my heritage and where I got it from I could have none and I’m grateful for my 3 strands today :,)
When I comb my hair, I pretend it is delicate silk. I start at the bottom and comb very carefully, with my other hand holding the section firmly from above between two fingers and moving upwards as I comb. That way, I won’t stretch the hairs along their full length, which can break them. My intention is to not break a single hair. We have to face the fact that fine hair is weaker, and treat it with care.
Merry I love this! It sounds like you find time in your day to make this a mini mindful meditation moment and meanwhile it sounds like you're doing an amazing job taking care of your hair. I applaud you :)
Thank you so much for this. My hair used to be so thick and full but it's fallen out due to stress and growing it back is... Unfun and not working well. Reading these comments is helping me so much.
Sending you so much love ❤️ I know how hard this is xo
Just looking at girls with amazing big hair or like super long healthy wavy hair, makes me feel insecure about mine! social media can sometimes suck lol
I forgot to thank you for this video! Helpful and soooo relatable!
Oh I can totally relate! I know these kinds of things can be triggering but I guarantee there are things about you that others see and are so jealous of too! I get caught up in just focusing on that one thing all the time too. xo
Aw my pleasure JoJo! Thanks for watching and commenting it means the most to us wee creators!
Don't fall for them gal those are mostly extensions... natural beauty like Amanda and you are better than manmade ones🙈❤️ love yourself and social media is a trap☠️🤧
I use henna and indigo to plump up my fine thin hair and it has done wonders !
Brilliant advice! Thanks Ri!
I watched this video after commenting for my first ever time on your last one about fine and thinning hair...Again, Thank You so so much! the only person on YT I can actually believe feels the same way as me and experiences the same struggles I do. You find such a positive, realistic way to solutions and I'm grateful. x
Not only was I treated to your first comment but also your second! I am one lucky gal haha! Thank you Elisabeth! I can honestly say even though I have ups and downs with it I am more confident than ever after changing some of these day to day practices. Positive self talk the biggest one! Means the most! xo
I kept saying YES, YES, YES! Please more of these videos.
Omg Shelley! You just made me so happy haha thank you love!
Yes, my thin hair really gets me down. Going through the menopause, it's even worse now because of hair loss. I also have age spots on my face, so I feel so self conscious. It's so hard to do a different style, because it's so thin, if I straighten my hair it'll look okish that day, but next day it will be like a rat's tail. The other problem is my hair texture has changed with age, the ends of my hair are so puffy, no matter how much product I put in it. I have to put leave in conditioner in the ends of my hair, a couple of times a day. I have had people tell my on my face how different I look now,and not in a good way.I wouldn't dream of hurting someone in that way. Thanks for your video. It helps to read the comments and realise that I'm not alone.
I just found this video and I legit have thin hair as much as you and I'm sooo scared to go bald as I get older. This video makes me feel better about my thin hair
Aw I am so glad this made you feel a little better love! Sending you so many positive vibes!
I have thin hair. Bothers me tons. Thanks for talking about it.
My pleasure Jo! We have a wonderful community here and I'm so happy you're here! xo
I too have what is considered to be fine or thin hair but guess what...I don't care! It was my insecurity in the past, but I got over it as I got older and possibly more secure in myself. My advice for feeling confident while having one of the most common physical traits observed is to stop fixating on looks. The most charming and all-around successful women I know are not conventionally beautiful, and some of them have thin hair.
YASSS! This is so wonderful to hear! It's so great to remember that we can truly grow into ourselves and become more confident and comfortable withe the space we are allowed to take up. Thank you for this advice as well. xo
I come back to this video a few times a year because I am so sad about my hair. My hair like many others, is my biggest insecurity and it makes me cry.
Aw darling I'm sending you so much love 🤍 I'm so sorry to hear this is a struggle for you. I can totally sympathize but you're not alone. Sending you the biggest hug
@@AmandaWeldonthank you, Amanda! 🤍 your videos on hair make me feel better when I’m at my low points. I’m so thankful for your presence here!
Yes..you're right..we gotta stop hair shaming!!!
This is so amazing and I needed to hear this message I feel more confident about my hair now. Especially u showing the density of your own hair. Thank u thank u
Aw my pleasure! Sending you loads of love I know how hard this can feel so you're not alone!
Don’t give up of hair! Thanks for all the advices
Thank you for this video. Im a 27 year old male with long hair and i thought i was balding for the longest time. When it gets oily it makes pulling my hair back look silly.
My hair is my biggest insecurity! Thank you for this ❤️
My pleasure beauty! So proud of this community we are building. It's so supportive! xo
As you can see from my profile picture I have incredibly baby fine thin hair!!! I have always hated it becuase I have always wanted long hair but my hair breaks so easily becuase it's so fine and so I always have a head full of split ends and my hair won't grow past a certain length !!! I get so jealous of women with thick beautiful long hair!!!! And the other thing that is so incredibly frustrating is that I don't do anything to my hair for it to be breaking !!!! I don't dye it ...I don't blow dry it!!!I get frequent trims ...and I don't wash my hair everyday but it doesn't matter what I do my hair is always full of split ends and from doing research I guess it just from simply brushing my hair!!!! Since my hair is so baby fine it breaks when I brush it and so I'm thinking well what am I supose to do???not brush my hair???? But I found a brush that is specifically made for fine thin hair and it seems to be helping a little bit but my hair still breaks when I brush it...I also get frustrated when I see videos of women saying their hair is too fine and thin and there hair is not even close to being as baby fine and thin as mine!!!! So basically if you don't have my type of hair you will never understand the frustration so I love watching channels like yours with other women that have the same problem because you understand how upsetting and frustrating it is to have this hair type!!! Thankyou for all your hair hacks for thin fine hair!!!!
Your hair is beautiful! And you are so inspiring❤️
It’s so exciting for me to see someone online talking about fine hair confidence!
Just want you to know that you made my day :)
Definitely your new subscriber❤️
Thank you so much!! This just made my day! We have such a supportive community here and having fine hair is 100% natural and normal. Sending you some love!
Thanks alot for putting effort into something positive, btw your hair looks really great and you are so beautiful. sending love
Aw thanks for watching Aya! Really appreciate the kind words. ♥️
Im not sure if I have thin have but definitely very fine This gave me so much cofadence
My hair is exactly, and I mean exactly like yours…the fineness, the thinness…to the degree where our hair line, and part, and even the little spot on top of your hairline are identical!!! (I think we are genetically related somewhere along the lines, lol). Ps..I can’t get mine as long…my hair is just coming out of over processing now, but I don’t have the face shape to handle longer hair…so, I’m probably going to do a Bob again…so bored with it but will try and keep it healthy at least, and not expect too much. I do occasionally get it up in a clip but it’s a bit hard because my hair is shorter…I try.
But, thank you for the encouragement. I appreciate it.
Sending you so much love! Something I like to do when I'm feeling low about my natural hair is try a new pair of earrings or put on my favourite outfit (or my most confident everyday uniform) with a beautiful fragrance and a lipstick. So many things we can draw attention to when we're not feeling as confident on top. But I also know it can be hard to unspiral when you're in the thick of it. ❤️
This video gave me confidence. Thank you, you have a new subscriber. 😍
Aw thank you for watching and subscribing Cassie! Sending you so much love ♥️
My hair is sooo thin!! Keeping it above the shoulders helps!! The longer u let thin hair get it looks thinner
Your hair is thicker than mine . I have spent so much money on hair products it is ridiculous. The best tools I have used are the Voloom iron and the Sam Villa texturizing iron. Better than any styling products. I would love to get extension for fine hair (like great lengths) but I just can’t pay $2000 for it to last 4-5 months.
I can completely understand this Jen. It's wildly expensive and can really hit the bank account. I saw another lovely lady mention the halo ones maybe this would be an option worth looking into. I'll have to check out those hair tools thanks for recommending them!
I have very fine, thin hair and I spend a lot of time taking care of it with 100% natural products. I used to feel very insecure about my hair, but now when I want my dream hair I just wear extensions. Extensions can give me my dream hair, then I make sure to pamper my real hair so I can wear extensions.
I love this Destiny! Sounds like you're really come to grips with both worlds here while appreciating what you have!
Thanks so much for this vid! So good & I really enjoyed ur vid 🥰thanks for bringing love & encouragement, such a great reminder tt we r unique the way r & work w what we have. U r beautiful the way u are! 💕❤ 1 helpful tip is to carry a small bottle of dry shampoo. It helps me so much esp when I have oily skin, my hair tends to fall flat by noon & dry shampoo helps to bring volume back to the hair! Have a lovely wkend! 🌈😘
That is such a good tip Elizabeth! Thanks for watching and I'm so happy you enjoyed it! xo
Silk pillowcase works will with my thin fine hair, stops it breaking.
Having struggle with acne problem from the past 13 years and with addition having fine thin hair. I never felt beauty about me and I will never.
Building momentum Amanda on a roll thoroughly impressive here early looking forward to the next feature segments fascinating and beautiful earrings you’re literally glowing gratefully appreciate you 💃
Aw thank you so much! That means the world!
Thank you for posting this!! I followed you from the previous video about managing fine hair. Would you be able to link the scrunchie that you used or would recommend? Would love to try! Thanks so much :)
Aw my pleasure Joey! So I found it at a little local shop gathering (can't even imagine a market like that anymore) but I'd just check out your local drug mart and see if they've got some thicker ones! It seems in your profile you've got beautiful dark hair so I'd suggest getting one close to your hair colour! xo
I try to convince myself that it is perfectly okay to have fine thin hair ,but some people can't stop talking about my hair and reminding me that I have fine and thin hair 😑.and somehow again i become insecure. I know it is wrong but I can't help it! But listening to u , I really feel nice !😊
Aw Liza I am so sorry that you have to deal with other people bringing this up. I wonder if there are some boundaries or some conversations you can have with them to make that stop. Whenever we talk about an insecurity it gives it a little less power. The feelings about them come in waves as well. Know you're not alone and you will never be alone on this topic. xo
Thank you so much ! I will my level best
Wonderful, thoughtful and great video. We are not only our hair, we are lovely ladies and we deserve to be nice to us. Have a great day 😍
100%! Thanks for watching and commenting love!
Thank you thank you thank you! It’s nice to not feel alone!
Aw my pleasure love! You are so not alone! And now that more I take care of my hair the more I'm loving it. xo
So glad I found your channel!!!Thank you!!!
This warms my heart! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment!!
Loved the clip but my hair won't hold clips or Bobby pins etc. They all slid out. I hate it. So I just accepted this is my hair. And that's just fine and ok.
I know this will be hard to believe, but getting grey hair has been kind of a godsend for me. Because my hair has always been so fine, it really benefited from the texture that came with grey hair. I feel like it not only provided texture, but also additional thickness. Now just to clarify; I do color my hair. I'm not about having grey hair, as I feel it ages people. But I have always colored my hair, but never felt the thickness I feel now. Don't get me wrong, my hair is still thin, but I think it looks better now. So, I'm just saying this to provide some inspiration to those who getting a little older.
I hope mine will be this way.
Hi I've just seen this amazing video..mu hair has held me back since it been thinning since I was 21..im now 40 and have very little left my hair used to be 5 times thicker and so full ..ur video is helping me stay positive.. but one big question please.. I have played with specialist hair bond extensions for fine hair..the specialist salon advises they shpuld be fine to use providing I look after them etc..if I had a few for volumes not length what is your view ..I find they help mu confidence but worried it would make it worse...did u find ur extensions didn't damage ur hair ? Would u use them again ? Xxx thank you
Letting go of who we want to be to who we can be on our best
Absolutely xo
The worst part is not just random strangers but even your closest people - your friends and family mock you.
It feels terrible.
I have came up with a trick to manage such situation.
Whenever i feel like someone is going to make fun of my hair, i do it myself.
Yes that's what i do. I don't like doing this but do i have a choice🙂
The hardest part of having my hair fine is that when I was younger my hair was curly and fully. I didn’t used the new reality. I’ll try to accept that is normally. Thabks
I love these videos! Can you do a hair video about different braids?❣❣
I will get to practicing now!! Thanks so much for watching Natalie it means the world!
Hi Amanda, I am so happy that I found you on RUclips. I am from Germany and I have the same hair as you and same story with extensions 😊. After having kids my hair just stayed the same... but I am trying so many expensive products which promise thicker hair and I wanted to ask you, if you had any experience with such products?
🌸melY
Mely this made my day! Welcome to this little nook of the internet! I haven't found products that necessarily make my hair thicker but rather I've found some awesome products and have learned how to better care for what I have if that makes sense. All of that has helped me embrace my natural hair when I don't have my extensions in. It then takes less of an emotional toll either way which is great! I would even suggest reading through some of the comments because there are some great recommendations from women just like us who have tried different things. One huge thing that I know affects everything we see on the outside is what we eat. I'm working towards eating cleaner and drinking tons of water which I think just helps everything! xo
Bless your beautiful soul thank you for these videos it gives me so much hope and confidence 🥰 xo
Aw my pleasure love! We're in this together and it is TOTALLY NORMAL AND BEAUTIFUL to embrace and take care of what we've got! Sending you some love xo
Thank you so much Ma'am ... Lots of love from India❤️
You're so welcome! Sending some love right back from Canada ❤️
In case anyone else is Catholic, St Agnes is the patron saint of hair. 🙏
I also wear big earrings because of my thin hair! glad I am not alone❤
One of my favourite hacks ever ❤️❤️❤️
my hair goes limp the day after i wash it. if i have time to blow dry it with some thickening serum from my salon it looks really full (it's sort of long which is the first time in my life it's gotten past my shoulders) and voluminous but the DAY AFTER it splits all over my scalp, bald looking spots everywhere. AND my hair parts down the back. it looks atrocious. i LOVE my claw clip but even then the hair on top i have to position just so so i don't have bald looking streaks all over. ugh! it's been like this my whole life, it's purely genetic, and have gotten made fun of for it since i was little. i did ballet growing up and my tiny bun was hilarious to everyone :( in high school girls would poke my head and be shocked at how little hair there was. it was really embarrassing.
I come from a family with thin, fine hair and married into a family where the women have unusually thick, luxurious hair. Then when I went through menopause, half the hair I did have suddenly fell out. Sigh.
Aw I'm so sorry you have been going through all of this. Such a struggle but you're not alone at all!
Love your earrings! Where did you buy them?
Aw thank you so much Cynthia! I found them a could years back a Club Monaco. I'm always on the hunt for a good pair of earrings!
I had very similar hair texture as Amanda's, but mine was terribly damaged as well. The very BEST tip I can give you is to go no poo, and only wash twice a week at most, whenever possible! Honestly, my hair has transformed tremendously. Night and day difference! My hair is still on the finer side, but it has become thicker, healthier, stronger, softer, manageable, and I have natural volume... and I rarely ever blow dry my hair. It's a must try!
So happy to hear you've seen a transformation! I've been seeing a difference focusing more on restoring moisture this winter with masks and limiting my washes as well! Thanks for the thoughtful comment!
Everybody keeps pointing it out and it hurts. It used to be ok, but recently they have been thinning even more and I can't get rid of my stress. I sometimes think I should just shave them off, but then I have school. People will make fun of me, bully me, so I can't do anything. I've lost all self confidence and I know it's genetic but it keeps getting worse. I feel like crap and almost never leave my house. I hate my life so much.
this is just what i need rn aaaaa
Aw I'm so happy! You're not alone beautiful! xo
I have such fine thin hair with a bit of a natural wave/curl. But not the kind that looks good scrunched or natural. It’s rather frizzy… which is also a challenge for drying… so the whole curl brush thing doesn’t work for me. Which means flat iron! 🤦🏼♀️.
Thank u for Making me confident
Aw my pleasure🥰 thank you for watching!
Where are your hoop earrings from!!?? The metal ones 💜
Hi Kali! I got them from Oak and Fort a really long time ago. I don't see them on their website now but they have some really pretty options there now. :) ca.oakandfort.com/womens/jewelry/earrings?page=5
we love a Canadian queen!
Hi angel!! 🥰🥰🥰
What was the name of the scrunchie company you mentioned in one of your videos?
It's Chelsea King! chelseaking.shop/ They are my absolute favourites! 🥰
Does anyone have any tips for thinning hair? I always had a very full head of thick hair but since lockdown last March my hair has been thinning - especially in the front. It's so discouraging to shampoo in the shower. My blood work is fine except for low Vitamin D so I've upped that amount. Any one else can relate?
Hi Mar, so happy to hear you've been looking for answers like getting bloodwork done. I wish I had some more insight on this but fingers crossed someone in the comments can give some tips. Wonder if stress is playing a part? Sending you some love I can imagine this is very frustrating. xo
Hi have you ever tried SEAMOSS for hair thinning ?? I really think you should try some wildcrafted seamoss for your hair .. please do your own research and then proceed if you like what you see . Best wishes to you and yours !!
It is hard to be confident with baby fine hair, no cheekbones, and a scrunchie nose!!! What do I take confidence in?!?!!😮
I’ve also gained a pile of weight. Help!
Aw I'm so sorry you're feeling this way Patricia. I task you with finding 3 things you love about yourself today ❤️ I know there is something about you, you might not be seeing at the moment that others do!
Thank you for making this vdo. You're beautiful.
My pleasure love! You are too!! xo
Thank you 🙏🏼🌸🌼🌺🙏🏼
Aw my pleasure beauty ♥️
I found Jesus and it really helped with feeling better about my hair. This body is just a temporary vessel and Jesus knows every hair on my head and he loves me and he made me and knew me before the foundation of the earth. I also shaved my head during my low point before I got saved and now it’s been two years and it’s shoulder length now and I feel so good about it.
I'm happy you've found what has worked for you. Good things happen when we take care of ourselves right. Sending you some love
Right all wow wonderful wonderful 💜 U 💜new friend from Bangladesh some helped 💜
Aw welcome! Thank you so much!
Thank you 🙏 for the claw clip tutorial cannot wait for more claw clip tutorial in the near future but I’ve only see the front but I haven’t seen the back which is supposed to be the claw clip as shown on 5:27 but one day you will show the back of your hair for more claw clip tutorial as shown on 5:27 for your RUclips channel amanda Weldon. On 6:30-6:34 but maybe one day as a future note you will show the back which has the claw clip which is true.
Absolutely! I'll include that next time :)
@@AmandaWeldon thank you Amanda you’re definitely the queen of claw clip and that’s true.
If u keep it a little shorter u have more body and volume .
❤️
