Massive head and thin hair

Gosh, I sound delightful, don't I Grin ? I have a really big head but unfortunately my hair is very thin. I have worn hair extensions since forever, but I have different priorities now financially, so have decided to give up the hair extensions and just stick with what nature has given me.

My hair is just below shoulder length, but is just '9 hairs and a nit' as my grandmother would have said. Extremely thin and you can see my scalp. It has always been like this. It's like baby hair and I never got grown up hair.

What can I do with it? It looks so awful. I need some ideas please ladies.

Thank you..

Can we see some pictures? What colour is it what styles do you like. How long were they extensions or was it just for volume?

Would it helpful if you got a perm? Might look a bit dated but at least it should give you some volume? Or maybe you could go to the other extreme and just get a pixie cut? Pretty much everyone's scalp is visible with a pixie cut.

My hair is dark and was quite long. I should have thick hair for my racial type, but unfortunately I never got it. So I faked it with hair extensions.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think a pixie cut would work, I have never seen a pixie with a giant head Grin.

Do not get a perm your hair will dry out like old leaves.

My hair was soooooo shit from
Extensions it's now thickened out loads. Here's what I used

Fibreology shampoo and conditioner from L'Oréal.

L'Oréal 60 second treatment - uploaded pic

Olaplex number three used overnight once every two weeks.

Cocanut oil overnight when you can.

Moroccan oil after you wash hair only a small amount needed

I've used these after bleach damage and extensions my hair gets back to good thickness and quality using them

I also stick to blunt cuts no layers or Feathering just all one length blunt cut.

Thanks Swizzlesticks23 for the suggestions, that's really sweet of you. I won't use anything tested on animals, so L'Oreal is out, however I will try coconut oil. I have loads in the house so I'll give that a try.

Does anybody have any ideas for a hair style, given my large head and thin hair?
