Fine, thin, hair - help!

[Dancer12345]

I’ve always had fine, thin hair but over the past year I seem to have lost quite a bit of it. It never stays straight either and can get quite frizzy. I have loads of baby hair too.

When I’ve washed, dried and straightened it it’s bearable. The next day, it’s not greasy but very flat, frizzy and my baby hairs are all over the place. Even to tie it back it looks very flat and rubbish.

Anyone else with the same problem? When I look at pictures of even a couple of years ago it looked so much better. I don’t know what’s going on! Have had bloods tested by doctor and have a slightly low B12 level but nothing major.

Yes have same issue my hair dresser told me to limit heat on your hair and let it air dry as much as possible and leave it down as often as you can.
Using hair oil has helped me too Vatika do great ones you can get off amazon and having daily vit supplements May help you may not worth a try?Good luck x

Me to I was told that it's part of pere menopause.
Oh yeh and the cradle cap too🤬

@GlitterSparkle85 If I leave it down without heat, it’ll be a wild, frizzy mess! Will try a hair oil. Tried argan oil in the past but didn’t do much.

@Stressedout10 That sounds a great combination, not!

My hair is like this, having a baby didn't help much!

I use a silicone free shampoo and conditioner designed for daily use. I like aveda. I then use boots mousse (Sali Hughes recommended it, cheap as chips) and I have a Dyson air wrap that I use to style when it's almost dry. I try to avoid ghds on a regular basis as it makes it more brittle.

Layers don't work in my hair at all, I have a long bob with a side parting.

@DreamingofSunshine Totally agree about the layers. I’ve had so many hairdressers tell me that layers make your hair look thicker - not mine they don’t!
Is the Dyson air wrap good then?

Has anyone tried any supplements to help hair growth/quality? I keep looking but would love a recommendation.

I really like it, I find it adds volume well and it's easier to use than the babyliss big hair. I find the curling attachment creates really nice waves in my hair and they last well too until ghds or tongs.

Do you due your hair, OP? My hair was exactly like yours. A couple of months ago I stopped dyeing it (I'm growing out the grey) and already it's thickened up like nobody's business, especially at the roots. I've got loads of new regrowth, I assume from where my hair was snapping while j was dyeing it. I thought I was going bald but turns out I'm not!

SunnySide, I take Viviscal every day - and the usual iron, Safflower oil, etc. My hairdresser reckons that my hair is thicker, I don't see it so much but she does.

I don't buy Viviscal from the hairdresser btw. I buy it from ebay or Amazon, it is quite expensive.

@QuimJongUn Yes, have been dyeing my hair for around 20 years now...

OP if you have fine and thin hair than any vitamin/mineral deficiency or hormone problem makes it worse.

So if you have low B12 you should take B12 supplements to increase your levels. It takes a minimum of 3 months to see the difference.
