I am 69 years old and have hated my flat crown my whole life. I've tried everything to give my crown lift. OMG! I just tried your technique and it worked like a charm! Michael, you are a genius! Thank you so very, very much!! I'm thrilled beyond words!!!
There's a difference between fine hair and thin hair. I have super fine straight hair but lots of it. It tangles super easy. He didn't say anything about the model having thin hair, it says "fine" hair, which is the thickness of the individual strands.
Well...all I know is my hair is very fine but I have lots if it. The client's hair in this tutorial certainly does't appear to have fine or thin hair. Have you read some of these responses? Those of us with fine and/or thin hair KNOW what kind of hair we have, no matter how YOU describe it, LOL Describe
Same here. Eventually I got gray hair and that gave it some texture that would actually hold style longer than 2 minutes. Something to look forward to, for you younger folks.
Finally a technique that works! I have always had not much, fine, silky, straight hair that won’t hold a curl or even a bend longer than a couple of hours. Now that I’m 59 and thinning and have even less hair than ever, I was shopping for hair toppers. Then I saw this video and using the regular drugstore products I had on hand, I was happily surprised at how well this technique works and lasts throughout the day! I feel like for the first time, I have volume to be proud of. Guess you can teach an old dog new tricks, thank you very much! This is my go-to way of doing my hair now.
Cosmo Instructor here: “Fine” refers to Texture, which is the diameter of the individual hair strand (Fine, Medium, Coarse); “Thin” refers to density, the number of hairs in a square-inch (Thin, Average, Thick); “Formation” is the shape of the strand-or moreover, the ‘movement’-as in straight, wavy, curly, v. curly/coily. I’d say the model has Fine texture, Medium density (you can see scalp through the hair at the part, below the active/working section, but not too much), and a straight formation, though, again looking at her scalp, there’s a bend at the root, so she may have a slightly wavy formation and they just smoothed her out before the demo. It is possible for someone to have Course/Thin hair or Fine/Thick hair-in any Formation-and Pattern ((hair can vary across the different areas of the head (thicker in the nape/neck, finer in the fringe/bang, etc.))) As far as the comments on the color: it’s fabulous! Stop hating!
This person obviously didn't need the help that the title infers. It's a bait and switch. Use whatever technical terms you'd like, but most women with truly thinning and fine hair do not have hair like that.
@@TessLynnW It said nothing about thinning hair. It says “straight fine hair”. That’s a big difference. That’s what this comment was explaining. You bait and switched yourself by not understanding that.
I've tried this and it really works for me. I have fine hair which is slightly wavy. I absolutely HATE going to the hairdressers because it was about 6 years ago that the only one I liked moved away. So I only go for a DRY trim (they always take too much off and you can't tell when it's wet). I will NEVER let anyone cut my bangs. I do it myself with an old trick I learned years ago. If you don't want blunt bangs but ones that come down on the sides try this: Grap your bangs, wet or dry, twist them really really tight. And with very sharp scissors, cut a TINY bit off the bottom where the twist has ended. You can always do it again if you want them shorter. Works for me every time!
AnMother2 Amazon has pieces you can buy and have cut to fit and that oomph if your up for it. They even have hair scrunchies you add in like a scrunchie to add volume and simple updo.
That's what I was looking at. My hair is little past the middle of my back, and I was thinking, even though it was fine and thin, it wouldn't last long due to the length
Need to go back to the sixties. Take a trip to the beauty salon, get a nice relaxing shampoo. Then a head full of rollers, relax under the dryer while getting nails done. Result....big hair that lasts all week, pretty nails that last all week. A couple of hours of "me time" (everyone needs pampering) and....NO MORE FLAT LIFELESS HAIR!!!😁
Girl, I know what you mean. The young lady that did my hair can't seem to get my hair flat enough to suit her. I keep telling her how I like volume. A girl in her chair (these girls are like 23-30 yr olds) grimaced when one of the more experience stylists fixed her own hair and it was gorgeous. It just wasn't glued down flat on her head. Now my hair is down to my butt bc I can't find anyone to cut and style it the way I like. I need color cut and style bad. But I refuse to pay over $100 for mashed flat hair!!
@@TRIPLEOG60 lol that is exactly how I feel when getting my hair cut and styled now. They blow it dry then whip out that ole flat iron. I have very fine and thin hair and I need plump and volume please.
@@missyl6291 my exstylist did her absolute best keeping my hair flat stuck smooth on my scalp. Trying a new girl soon. I told her on the phone I liked fullness. Full hair is sexy glamourous hair. Stuck flat on my head as tight smashed flat as possible looks like I need a shampoo.
This is SO HELPFUL, and easy to do. I have fine, straight hair… and I have a lot of it. My crown is always really flat - so I can’t wait to try this after I get a few inches cut off!
I have severe hair loss from a adrenal disease & living proof seriously changed my life . This brand is everything y’all . If you’re second guessing trying it , don’t !
I never knew this! I’m not a Stylist. I’m a regular chick who never gets the hair right lol. My hair tangles easy, I usually don’t blow dry it because I don’t know what I’m doing. But I’m really excited to try this, hope it works. To the people that do this as their job-THANK GOD FOR YOU ALL! Lol, really, I appreciate my colorist/stylist so much. It truly is an Art what they do. Thank you 🙏🏻
I shouldn't have read the comments. Dear God. Anyway, thank you. I used this for my sisters wedding, she has fine thin hair, and it held up beautifully. You have a beautiful smile. Really enjoyed the lesson.
Sharman Klinefelter Thanks! I used to have lots off thick straight hair into my late 40’s. Now at 59, my I have lost 2/3s of the volume and am 50% gray - which has come in weirdly curly and frizzy. Trying to get volume at the crown that stays seems impossible. I will buy and try the Velcro rollers. Thanks for the tip, as I hate putting heat on my hair except for very special occasions due to the damage it causes even when I use a heat protectant. 😊
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bqw5S15clSM.html check out harmonize beauty and her tutorial. She uses the rollers and no back combing 💖
Your family is so blessed there's alot of love there, you are a real gentel men with great respect, love and kindness etc. May God bless you and your family abundantly 🙏❤🤗
I have dry, frizzy hair and could not get any fullness on the crown until I tried this. I did exactly what he said and I love the results. Thank you very much for posting this.
Finally!!! a true back comb out technique. I am excited to give it a go. My bone straight hair has had everything from Velcro rollers to curved heating irons, back coming and tons of product. I never thought about using the heat with the back combing to somewhat lock in the texture from underneath. Fingers crossed for this bone straight long hair. Thanks so much! ❤️
Shelly, I loved this also! I do a lot of wedding hair and this is a great tip! Brides always want big hair for the formal event! Smooth, full hair is a challenge. With stylist who represent product lines the message is more directed to other professionals and we take away whatever information we need and add it to what we already do. I love it when a technique is of value to other people as well!!
@@radinedempsey4901 When you get to the part when you smooth the back/teased size with the bristle brush, is he saying you brush through and brush out out all the teasing? Or are you just smoothing the very surface of the back and leaving some teased in the center of the section?
@@kristenveloria he’s brushing it through the entire section. I have used the technique on myself as well as my clients. I love it- it’s a little pearl of wisdom! What I am sharing is based solely on the experience I’ve had since seeing this and using it on my clients. This seems to work well on every texture, even thin and find, if the hair is properly prepared. For my clients, that means not using holding or plumping stuff. I prep with a blow dry/thermo protectant and nothing more. Note* When I’m going for volume I add products after the hair is dry and styled. It seems that if too much is done prior to drying, the hair tends to collapse. I get best volume with powders and/or a dry shampoo with a finish spray to hold. This technique seems to offer just enough texture to the hair without it having a crimped appearance. These are tips that I have found give me the best results. Keep section the proper size. Do a consistent number of strokes with back combing. Don’t pack the hair tightly. Use the proper size iron proportionate for the person’s head and hair. (You just want volume). Make sure the iron is as close to the base as possible. (I place a carbon comb between the scalp and iron). Know your desired outcome. If it’s for curls you can wrap the hair to the ends. If it’s for straight hair with volume and lift, only wrap how he has done. And lastly- as you brush out the back combing support the hair with your hand as opposed to brushing it back down to the head. When I do this on myself I use my fingers to kinda shake it out which makes it look more tousled. I hope this information from my experience is helpful for you! Good luck!
@@kristenveloria It looks like he is 'smoothing the back surface', although he says 'look, you can put your fingers through it' - so good question. That part made me wonder too - I think if I were doing it, I would either skip that part, or very lightly smooth it.
Too many of you just do nothing but complain!!! Wow!! Her hair is layered. Thin hair that is layered LOOKS thicker. Also, this is different than just ratting your hair because her combs it out and makes it touchable. I think he did a fabulous job. Thank you for the great advice!
That's exactly my thought! I seriously lmao at how foolish he looked to put this out on a public platform and try to educate... better yet entertain us with such brainless remark. I knew I couldn't be the only one who thought he was a complete simpleton when he made that first statement. I headed straight to the comments. I found it to be humorous he proceeded to leave it in the video while editing!!!!!!!!🤷🏼♀️ Most..if not all.. of us have stuck our foot in our mouth at one point in time but we have not had the option to go back n edit it out unlike the creator of this video. I would love for someone to turn this into a gif or comedy crack. He made that statement then went on to demonstrate how to help those with fine limp hair using a model with flawless hair! That is like showing us how to play basketball using a football. His "technique" is nothing more than the same thing we were doing 30-40yrs ago. Let alone how filthy that comb was!! 🤭🤭🤭😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@jenniferyoung5932 he re-combed the backcombing! Therefore, the final result dosen't have backcombing or tons of hairspray on many layers of hair. Very useful tutorial imo, after watching so many on this topic on youtube.
@@laketown5802 yelp! I'm peachy! Thank you for asking ;) oh btw its ok to have a different opinion than others. We all DO NOT have to agree and this does not need to get messy. I stated my views and you don't agree...fine!!! Just bc someone does not have the same outlook or interpretation DOES NOT AND I EMPHASIZE DOES NOT MEAN THAT PERSON IS NOT OK!! I bet ur friends don't agree with EVERY SINGLE thing you do in life. So be it. Miss Nara explained her thoughts without any kind of personal attack so please learn from this. Thank you.
I have baby fine hair and I’m going thin on top. I’ll be using his technique from now on. Seeing the demonstration has given me the confidence to do it. Thanks!
I can't wait to try this technique, I've never been successful with any type of back combing or teasing before, but this is a very different method and looks very doable. And her hair color is absolutely stunning, I can't stop looking at it, it's perfection!! My daughter is a redhead and I just love it!!
I would love to see you show us how to do this for someone, like me and many others, who has long fine hair buts wants volume at our roots not total flatness. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS! Thank you!
I loved this! I back comb for volume but often end up with stiff "Peg Bundy" hair that I then comb out in frustration. I can't wait to try this. I think I've been missing the use of heat to get that brushable soft volume. I thought this was great.
That was VERY helpful. I never knew, when back combing, to only do the underside, and not all the way through. . Thank you...I can’t wait to try this. Also the sectioning makes sense too.
thank you for this! Seems like a really good technique for my fine, wavy and flat hair, that has a mind of its own. I will have to try this at home since no salon visits are allowed at the moment.
My hair is thin and fine after blow drying my hair I use Velcro rollers. I take them out and use some Kevin Murphy puff me spray power. Then tease and style.
After 3 hrs and a thousand styles that all start looking the same, finally a stylist who knows how to work with us who have fine, thin, straight & flat hair to give a bump of fullness in the crown without a pompous attitude and too many potions. Thank you, I think I can do this and will try it tomorrow before work. Thanks 'Buddy' : D
Beautiful. You make it look so easy. When I try it on myself it's going to be Peg Bundy, I can already tell. When I hit the lottery, I'll fly in to have you do my hair. :)
OMG! Where have you been! Thank you so much! I’m going to try this at home! The hair stylist near me have no idea what I’m saying when I ask for volume at the crown! Thank you for sharing! 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If your hairstylist doesn't know what volume at the crown means I would be finding another stylist. I would think other than maybe a military barber that would be like beauty school 101. Lol
Many comments arguing the description of “fine, thin hair.” Clearly he is referring to the texture of her hair and not her “head of hair” which is quite full. As a woman who was diagnosed with “female pattern baldness” about 15 years ago (& finally caved in & began wearing wigs on occasion 4 years ago) I am definitely going to do what I can with what I’ve got by trying his method.
Invaluable! A great tip for the tool kit of knowledge! As a working stylist, I have all hair types and textures, behind my chair and on location with freelance work. Every tip I pick up along the way is great! Who knows when I might have a person with this density and texture in my hands. Perhaps the weight of the hair makes the volume collapse. I love this! Not for everybody but what is? I am going to try it on fine hair and see what the result is- it might be a fail and it might not- I won't know until I do it! Thank you Michael!
What is different is that he brushes out the “ratting/back combing” - I’m going to have to try this but I’m sure with my silky hair it won’t stay poofed without some good hairspray.
OMG you are the BOMB!! Not to mention the incredible colour and cut of the hair. I just wish I lived in the States so I could visit your salon, but thanks for this tip, can't wait to try it out.
