Putting my very fine hair up - advice needed

5 replies

Hi

I have straight hair a couple of inches past my shoulders. It's fine but my very clever hairdresser cuts just enough layers into it so that it sits really nicely and looks thicker than it is.

I always wear my hair down, it's hideous pulled back into any sort of ponytail because the ponytail is so thin, likewise it's hard to put it up in any way that looks half decent.

I have looked at Youtube videos but have not found anything very helpful. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I think a hairpiece or take bun or ponytail might be useful?

Once your hair is up, pull a few pieces slightly loose from the bobble so it looks like the head on your is fuller. Back comb the very top of your ponytail to give some oomph. Don't use elastic bobbles, use those plastic, twisted ones and only wrap it twice. You can sort of wrap it onto itself to keep it in place.

Thanks all

@Greensleevevssnotnose I used to have a fake ponytail hair piece years ago that worked and people used to say you couldnt tell that it wasnt my hair, but not sure if these are still around.

Will check out the hair thickening cream and the tip is good @hauntedvagina those thin elastics look awful.

My hair sounds exactly the same as yours, except I don't have a clever hairdresser so can't wear it down.

My go-to is a loose 'mum bun' either on top of my head or at the back of my head. I basically make a ponytail and wrap the band around once, then pull the tail back through. Then start pulling random bits until it looks right. Makes me look like I have wayyyy more hair than I actually do.
