Thin / Fine Hair: NEVER DO THIS!! 

In my country, most people have thin hair. Decades ago, when my mom was in USA and went to have haircut in some famous hair dresser's and all the employees wanted to check my mom's hair like it was some miracle to see such thin hair. 🙄

@carolann4087 😅🤣😂🤣

This is the cutest comment ❤❤❤❤

This is one of those core memories I would think about every day of my life... Got at least 30 years later 😂 I was smoking pot many years ago. I was with a good friend and we were enveloped in the deepest thought provoking discussions. He said something profound and I was stoned so I just said "Life is short". With the most serious expression, he looks me in my eyes, then at his shorts, and with a straight face back at me to say, "Thank you. had em forever."

Same here lol

Nutrition is important, for sure. But even the best nutrition won’t stop hair loss due to aging. Anyone losing hair should get help from a dermatologist to determine the cause. Some causes can be easily treated, others take more extreme measures. But if you don’t know what’s causing it, you could waste a lot of time and money on treatments that won’t help.

My Hair was falling out in handfuls after shampooing just once with K18 daily shampoo. It was scary so I asked Mr Google for help and found a mixture, can't remember the recipe but it was with onion juice. It stopped my hair falling out after a couple of weeks phew, but left my hair even thinner than normal. So I began taking Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2 plus massaging my scalp morning and night for a minute or so. The difference one year on is unbelievable everyone now tells me how my, normally thin hair, is thick!!

And genetics.

Rubbish , nutrition is not the main reason Otherwise it would be easily remedied

I have taken Castor Oil Capsules for years and my hair shines and is really strong and my skin has always been very clear and smooth. At a recent hospital clinic the female consultant actually asked me how my skin and hair look so good and said both were better than many young women she sees . Castor oil capsules treat from inside . They also keep eyelashes growing thick and healthy and lips full and smooth , and nails very strong and healthy . They aren't expensive to buy . So go on , everyone and try those capsules .Within about 2 weeks you'll see a massive change .

I experienced that as well until I found Aveda a botanical product which actually enhances my hair’s body.

Thank you for your request. I will be sure to work on future video addressing that.

Awesome. I have fine hair and I live in a dry, high altitude environment. It's static city. My hair is heavy and thick though. I have a short inverted A-line because my long hair would break in the wind. I use a round brush and gel to form and try to make my hair have more texture. (In the case of thinning hair, I know PCOS is a huge reason. Whole foods, plant based eating is the way to go.) Love your hair videos and hikes! I asked my stylist to do an M or W at the nape of my neck after one of your videos!@@justinhickox

This is me!

Ha, ha ... I have fine hair, but enough for three people!

I read it is for men so any side effects like beard growth?

@@chronic2023 No, because you’re not putting it on your face, you’re putting it on your head. It only works where you apply it. The women’s stuff doesn’t often work because it’s not strong enough and they put the pink tax on it. You really want to get the men’s. It’s the proper amount and you’ll actually see a difference.

Naah! That's a hormone thing you'll have to wait for menopause for that😅😅

Thank you so much for that! I truly appreciate it! How are you liking the new style of video with more animations?

You're so welcome! I plan on making a lot more content around thin/fine hairpin 2024! What would questions would you like to see answered?

So now I know, at 71, I have thick fine hair. Inherited from my Mum and Dad; he had thick head of hair till he passed away in his 90s. Now my #1 son has a thick, thick head of hair that is as thick as one those brown rush door mats. #2 son has thick fine hair like mine but with a white streak on the side of his head about the size of a loonie 🇨🇦 (silver dollar for you in the US), sorry, I digressed (as I sit on my cluch in my warm livingroom 😊)

Fine hair that is thinning with loss of hair with age ,,,,PLEASE ???!!!!@@justinhickox

Oh geez 🙄

Over this past year, I've noticed that my hair has gotten so thin, you can see my scalp very easily! I have curly hair, too. I am going to go to my dermatologist soon for help. I have several autoimmune diseases and on a chemo type drug for my lupus, along with other meds too. Two of my doctors recently told me i needed to go to a dermatologist and start using Rogaine. Would love to hear what you think about those products.

That's awesome! I'm so glad I could help! Another thought is to actually add lowlights that are only about a shade darker than your natural hair color. This will make the highlites pop even more and add even more dimension at the same time. They would be applied at the same time as the highlites. You're just adding another color to the process.

@@justinhickox love i! Thank you so much Justin, I love your channel ❤️.

Thank YOU! I appreciate that feedback!Did this help? What else would you like to see?

@@justinhickox Fine hair that is thinning with loss of hair with age ,,,,PLEASE ???!!!!

THAT"S AWESOME! Thank you so much for trusting me! I'm stoked to hear it all turned out so well for you! That makes my day. I'm going to be doing a lot of content around thin/fine hair in 2024, let me know what your questions are and I'll try to make some videos to help you out!

@@justinhickox Question: I have natural curly hair. I love to rock curls, but some days I feel it is aging me and I need smoothing - just because I can't stand the inconsistency of my hair having it's own brain! I try to take all the steps of heat protectant for drying, another for hot tools, etc. But IS IT TRUE, that I should stay with my natural curls for the health of my hair?

lets see it !!!!

What is a root lift?

@@huckle_berry5081 lift in color / a tad lighter

Tight ponytails don't just cause tension breakage they can straight out cause traction alopecia. So your hair wasn't just looking like it was thinning around the temples, it probably was. Over a long enough period you'd eventually lose the hair in those areas.

I put my hair in a fairly tight ponytail for the gym (and other instances) because I hate having sweaty hair on my neck, but I try to have it hanging loose more often now because it looked like my hair was thinning around the temples. ☹️

Good tips! Any high quality leave in conditioner recommendations?

What? I only wide tooth comb my hair in the shower even shampooing and conditioning and NEVER outside of it. It dries perfectly and needs no brushing, no blowdrying and I stopped needing to use product, no more frizz either.

​@@rachelh9550make an upside down french braid so it's off your neck or wear a wide headband or a tichel then you don't need it so tight.

What shampoo/conditioner do you use, please.?

@@candleabra1837 First cleanse, Pacifica Rosemary Purify Clarifying shampoo. Second cleanse, JVN Undamage (love the fragrance and I only use 1 pump). I use the JVN Nurture Mask for conditioner. Once or twice a month I will use a Shea Moisture Mask, High porosity or the coconut/hibiscus curl and shine.

I feel ya. The hormone shift is a bitch. I had the covid loss as well. No fun.

I appreciate you sharing it with anyone with fine/thin hair.

You spray shampoo onto the roots as you style your hair?

@@winniecash1654 DRY shampoo spray, not real shampoo!!

@nschoess ok. Thanks for the clarification.

Dry shampoo makes my scalp break out!! Does anyone else have this problem? Dry spray volumizer does not cause my scalp to break out.

@@lizyx211 That’s strange. You must be allergic to something in it. I will say that when I use a texturizer or volumizer (and I’ve tried many) I have a really hard time getting it all out of my hair - a big reason why I tried dry shampoo as replacement, then discovered the dry shampoo gave a little bit of texture but, even better, keeps my hair cleaner between shampooing.

Thank you so much Linda! Always great to see ya here! Merry Christmas to you and your family as well! Have an amazing one!

I'm interested in this as well. Type 2b hair, lots of fine frizzy hair if I air dry.

Thats a great topic...thanks for your recommendation. I would say a good place to start when using hot tools on fine hair is to be sure to always use a heat protectant.

I've been using Conair Easy Start hot rollers for 40 years and the heat has never harmed my hair/ never had hair loss. The set lasts longer when after I blow dry it, I roll my hair, and then apply finesse hairspray. I take the rollers out once they cool down( or wait even longer) and then brush my hair.

63. Fine hair too. Trouble is mine basically dies at the shoulder. Turns to fuzz. I hate me in short hair, it’s uncomfortable. I’m thinking a lot more of bald women examples!😅. I feel your struggle. Along with the push to go short unless you have thick or extra long hair by your sixties it seems.

@@justinhickox what heat protectant would you recommend?

You're so welcome! I'm glad to hear you loved it!

I did the same. But started dying my hair with henna (and other herbs mixed in). My hair looks pretty good, especially with my white hairs looking like highlights through the henna.

That's why I stopped coloring my fine hair as well almost a year ago and I love the salt n pepper look❤

So I had beautiful natural greige hair as it started to gray. As I started going more white, it started to bother me got it colored blonde and it’s never been the same health wise. Any ideas on natural blonde coloring? I tried chamomile tea and not much difference

@@user-iv6ty3cd5i the only way is with chemicals. You could do strawberry blonde with a henna (mixture) and it truly looks lovely and natural.

WOW, thank you! This is the biggest compliment I could get. If this is your first time doing color, or you haven't done it in a long time, make sure to find someone who specializes in color (you can ask the salon for a "color specialist", which may help) or at least one that has extensive practice in the specific color you want ie. highlites of XXXXX color, or lowlights of XXXXXX color etc. Especially if you're doing black lowlights on grey hair.

I live 20 minutes from PDX. Have not colored my hair in 10 years. Blonde and gray. Silver strands. Was thinking about lowlights.

How do I determine what low or high are needed?

Hi Peachy, I noticed you got no reply so thought I would offer up a hair style video which I am following. Check out a video by Janelle O'Shaughnessy on RU-vid titled Why I Am No Longer Getting Layers Cut. She explains it all really well & in fact she does have some layering but only involving the hair growing from the top of her head. I think her advice would work for straight or curly hair. Mine is curly & her tips in that video plus her follow up video (where she trims it herself) are working well for me and are easy to explain to a stylist too. Just put her name and the title of the video into the RU-vid search box.

@@jih-pu4xe Thank you for your reply. She may have fine hair, but she does not have thin hair ... she has a lush, full head of hair ... I would give anything to have hair as thick as hers.

I know, I am with you on that. My hair is nowhere near as dense as hers but.....But... This is doing so much for my look of density. I was sceptical, so sceptical!! Try it. You can always cut it if you want.

Yes, God is good!! How do I find a good hair stylist?

Ask your friends whose hair style you like. That's what I did and then prayed about it. I felt a peace about it all and the stylist I called was able to fit me in sooner rather than the new year. YAY!!

@@kathyromanowski6010 thanks, I will try that!!

you are not alone. Many people use it interchangeably.

LOL!! I would consider than on the thinner side. Yes, start only using the conditioner form mid shaft through you're ends. I can't wait to hear how that works for you!

@@justinhickox awesome! Thank you so much! My hair has zero oil in it so o can’t wash it everyday so I’ll let you know day after tomorrow. 😆

Thank you so much! You're WAY too kind! Means a lot to me. I can't wait to hear how these tips help! I plan on making a lot more content around thin/fine hair in 2024. What are your biggest questions about it?

@@justinhickox Thanks for asking, Justin! 😉 My hair sheds in some sort of cycle and I'm not sure what causes it because it's been happening since I was 18 and forty years later, it's still happening. So when it's shedding, my texture is wiry, frizzy and dry. I am blessed with natural curls so I'll diffuse it to help with volume. My question would be what can I do for styling when it's in the shedding phase? It looks awful and I've recently started using Toppix (game changer) to cover the scalp at the top of my head. I would love to wear it straight but I worry that all the round brushing and flat ironing would be damaging and cause even more hair to fall out. Thanks for your consideration. ❤️

@@justinhickox I'd like to hear what products you would suggest for people to use with fine hair to maximize volume.

I don't quite know which hair vitamins are best

Thank you! Yes, lots of thin hair can be a challenge. People expect your hair to be light and have lots of volume because it's fine in texture but it can be REALLY hard to get volume in. I plan on making a lot more content around fine/thin hair in 2024. What are your biggest questions?

​@@justinhickoxthank you for saying you'll make more videos about fine hair. Please cover people who have Seborrhea and can't use any oils or styling products on their head. (Also any products just make my hair look dirty and don't hold volume for more than several minutes. ) Also because my hair is literally baby fine, a braid is miniscule, and clips etc simply fall off. I dislike short hair (ie, pixie on me), it looks like I have no hair. I wear my hair around my shoulders as a compromise. What are good styles for fine hair at this length? Please also cover henna on hair.

@Lili-xq9sn I have fine hair and have been colouring with natural henna and indigo for a number of years, due to severe allergy. According to the literature, these natural dyes coat your hair (rather than penetrating the shaft), so they make your hair stronger and thicker. That might be true, but you have to make sure that the henna mix doesn't dry out on your hair, like clay, because that will pull your hair out when you rinse out the henna. Also, make sure that you are gentle when rinsing out the henna because the mix is much thicker than chemical dyes - it's like mud! I have to break the rules on dying with henna and for thin hair - I use a lot of conditioner after rinsing out the hemma because my hair is very tangled and it feels really soft, so I feel it's in danger of being pulled out if I don't use lots of conditioner. However, it's fine by the next time I wash it a couple of days later. I do lose more hair when dying than I do when just washing, but it isn't excessive. Perhaps it's how I'm going about it. Having said all this, my hairdresser is always impressed with both the colour and the condition of my hair. I think that the henna is much better for it than harsh chemicals. I leave the dye on for hours. I wash my hair, then apply the henna mix when it is just damp (any wetter and you'll have henna running down your face!), wrap it in either a plastic cap or cling film, then in a warm turbi towel to help it work. One good thing about henna and indigo is that they don't dye different colour hair uniformly, so my greys look like highlights. Read lots of literature about it (I recommend "It's Pure") so that you can avoid any of the common mistakes. The only thing that I've ever done wrong is falling asleep with a darker mix than usual over all my hair (instead of just the roots) and having a much darker chestnut than I wanted. You can't lighten naturally dyed hair, so lucky it looked nice!

@@miaschu8175 Thank you so much for writing this for me! It's very helpful. A couple of questions: What brand exactly is the "indigo" and What brand of henna do you use?

Thank you SO much for that! I truly appreciate it! I'm glad to help! What area are you located in? I DO have some ideas around cutting subscribers hair... :)

@@justinhickoxThank you for answering. I'm located in Murrells Inlet South Carolina

​@@bobbilynn1752Lucky you! Low Country is so beautiful! 🤩😍🌴❣️

thank you so much! My next video will be outdoors. :-)

Thank you! Glad I can help! That's a great question. You're spot on and I don't know the exact answer but I want to look deeper into that now. My intuition would tell me it depends on the amount of oil your skin produces in a combination of the product one would use for volume as well as the overall condition of an individuals hair. Stimulating the scalp can stimulate the sebaceous glands which produce oil and could weigh hair down, where as most volumizing products add the dirty feeling without the heavy oils. So one part of the answer could be that the feeling you have of dirty hair comes from the product which has less oils therefore its a different kind of "dirty". Not sure of that makes sense.
