Fine, flyaway, greasy hair

5 replies

I'm hoping someone has suggestions for my hair. It is so fine, really flyaway and tends to get greasy. After having DD 18 months ago I shed alot of hair, but it also broke off at the front. So it looks like I'm growing out a fringe, very slowly. I have a widows peak too, so looks odd if I pull it back, so will tie up with a centre or side part.
Just looking for product suggestions if anyone has the same type hair?

I have fine flyaway hair (but lots of it) that goes greasy 2 days after washing. I wash my hair every 3 days. I find alternating shampoos works, and using very little, if any conditioner.
About once every few weeks I use a protein shampoo eg Mane & Tail original. And I like the Kiehls amino acid shampoo & conditioner.
But I do find I have to rotate products, nothing works if used every time.

Yes exactly the same for me. I use a new product and think great found something that works. 2 weeks later. Ack tl square one.

I have similar hair. One thing I learnt from a decent hairdresser is to avoid getting too many layers cut into my hair. It’s shoulder length and I have a few long layers only. Getting a colour in every few months helped dry it a bit and I 2nd rotating your shampoos. Head and Shoulders every 10 days.

I use boots build up remover shampoo every week and wash daily with a basic shampoo (cheap tea tree stuff or whatever)
Batiste lightly the night before and brush out in the morning if I want another half day out of it

I actually got it cut Tuesday, no layers and a blunt cut. Made such a difference. Although I washed it this morning and it never looks quite how it did when I left the hairdressers... thanks for the tips.
