Who else has fine hair and lots of it? Not straight enough to be straight but not wavy enough to hold a curl? How are you having it cut these days?

I'm in my late 40s. My hair is probably even finer now as I age. But there's still a lot of it and it seems to get more tangled than it used to. It has zero movement because there's so many strands of hair zig-zagging over other strands, it all moves as one. I wore it in a shorter blunt cut bob for a few years and was able to scrunch a wave into it if I left it to dry naturally without brushing it. I can't do that with it longer.

It needs some sort of style cut in to it but what? Fringes or all one length don't suit me as I have a square face and wide jaw. But layers used to make it look so dry and wispy. What's the solution?

Mine is sort of like this. Has always been straight/wavy and looks good tonged or when I have a perm (in the distant past!).

There is a lot of it, despite me being 51.

I don't like the idea of doing the Curly Girl method.

Hairdresser doesn't like Olaplex and told me last night if I had Keratin treatment I wouldn't be able to do x, y, z with it.

I have gone back to a shoulder length Rachel. It DOES look dated nice.

How about curtain bangs, or one of the many iterations of these knocking about on SM? They suit a square face and don't require millions of layers.

Mine is like this. I find if it grows past shoulder length it gets straggly and thin looking. Layers across the back don't work either so a long one length bob that I either straighten or tong works best for me.

Currently a chin length bib with straight blunt fringe
more usually short, with a bit of length through the top
It needs thinning when it’s short

I describe mine as cat hair. When I go to the hairdresser it flies through the air and doesn’t immediately land on the ground. A lot sticks to me and the hairdresser though.

I went for a shaggy lob-length almost wolf cut. Long, layered fringe and long layers all over. I can create the illusion of movement with a few quick moves of a curling iron.

Oh, I’m 50, btw.

I've shaved most of mine off. It's freeing. And I look awesome in hats.

I have always had very fine hair and not much of it so stuck to pixie styles to avoid it looking like rats tails.

But since pregnancy I've grown more, not loads of it, but a much more normal amount. I'm sticking with a shoulder length bob at the moment.
