I've always had fine hair for as long as I can remember, but as I've got older (now mid thirties) and 2 DCs it has gotten so thin it now really gets me down.
My youngest DC is now 2 so I'm out of the immediate post partum phase, and it's not improving. I take vitamins and think about diet, so I try and help my hair as much as possible from that perspective. Don't do much straightening and use heat protection etc. All the basics!
I go through phases of growing it a bit and then cutting to a chin length bob. As soon as it's cut into a bob it goes a bit thicker, but within weeks it goes thin on the ends and limp and looks awful down. I then start tying it up and growing it (grows really slow and just stops/goes thinner once it hits shoulder length) but at least when longer I can tie it up. I tend to do sort of knot with it and then use a big scrunchie to make it look like there's something there, as it's so thin it's just a teeny tiny pony tail or knot. But I never feel like it looks nice and if I go out or to an event I can't really do the 'quirky' massive scrunchie look.
I've been to a few events recently where I've just felt really self conscious about my hair.
I've always been able to not worry about it too much but it really bothers me now.
I don't know anything about extensions and it's not something I've previously explored as I always have the (probably outdated) idea that they look obvious, cheap and fake. However, I'm sure they've moved on in the last 10-15 years since I ruled them out!
Anyone know much about different types of extensions, whether this would work for fine hair (I want thickness not necessarily length)
