Ok folks, I’ve had a LOT of people ask why I’m using a mannequin with “thick” hair in this video and not a live model with actual thin hair. This video was filmed in the middle of the original pandemic lockdown. I’m sure you can understand why I couldn’t use a live model. Mannequin heads don’t come in thin textures.
Thank you so much for this video! What you said is spot-on, especially about only using texturizing scissors on the very ends. My guy (hair stylist) had to move away and he was the only one that ever cut my fine, thinning hair well. The first gal I tried after he left used DEEP point cutting on my hair and it looked horrible! It didn't lay right when it was straight, and I couldn't curl it without it looking like it had these strange twisting "hair fingers" for lack of a better term! It completely killed my confidence in myself. I never went back and I'm on my third hairdresser in two years trying to explain what I would like them to do, so I really appreciate this! Do you have any videos on how to cut thin, fine hair that is somewhere between collarbone length to just past the shoulders where you show how to actually cut the layers properly to give a little volume on top? I have an appt coming up and I would love to be able to show her what to do to achieve what I want because we can't quite get it right. I've shown her pictures, but that doesn't explain the technique. Thank you for all your efforts in helping us!
Thanks for tihs!! However I have thin, fine hair .... and it naturally falls in the middle no matter HOW hard, or for how many Years I've tried to train it to go one side or the other, How to stop it falling into a natural middle parting? I actually got my hairdresser to put 'bangs' in my hair ... (we call it a 'fringe' here in Oz) ... & that one thing helps to make my hair, or me .... appear more youthful, but at almost 70 ... I need more help than a fringe! I see a lot of 'old' women out there who go shorter as they age, but it seems to make them appear more masculine .. Any suggestions as to why this is?
You REALLY know fine hair. The problem is, not many stylists are educated about how to work with it. Even though I gave up on finding a stylist many many years ago (and I cut my own hair), I will try some of your tips. Thank you for the great advice and your excellent videos.
I find most hairdressers still cut hair as if working on the doll,they got no confidence to trust their own eyes.never been to a dresser who got it.i like the idea Vidal sassoon had to cut the hair so that when you just shake it it falls naturally into it's own cut, to the shape of the individuals face shape
But it’s not just about thin and fine, mine is also so straight it shows layers like steps and won’t hold any bend. No hairdresser has been able to create a style on my hair so I have to keep it one mid/long length.
Funny, just last week I chopped 4 inches off my long, fine hair. Using thinning shears on the very tips is a great idea! There's so much support out there for "Curly Girls" with their own Curly-specialist-stylists; I say now is the time for "Fine Girls" to get the support we need, too! ❤✂
Justin, your instruction about texturizing is the very best I have ever been exposed to!!! I am 81 with very short, fine wavy hair that is thinner (of course!) than it used to be. Like you said, I have had extremely bad experiences with stylists who "thinned" my hair and ruined it. It took forever for it to grow out to the point where I could do anything with it. Therefore, I do not allow anyone to touch my hair with a "thinning" scissor. I truly wish I could have you cut my hair b/c I would totally trust you to do it right. :) B/c I have such bad haircuts from the salons, I now cut my own hair (shudder!), but do as good a job as most of them do. I have learned so much from your teaching and knowledge, so THANK YOU for sharing as you do! You are one in a million.
Thank you so much!!!! I feel honored that you’d put that much trust in me! I really appreciate your support and that feedback made my day! Stay safe and we’ll!
I truly enjoyed your video. I actually have alopecia so I have fine and thin hair. I had a stylist tell me I needed layering so I went for it and I cried it was so bad. Looked like my hair was wacked and now I know why. I loved seeing you style the hair and it made so much sense and looked so nice. I am so afraid to let someone try again. Looks like if someone did it right it would more than likely help me. How do you find someone who really knows how to cut fine hair. So hard!
I LOVE all this information!!! I have fine hair (but a lot of it) and I’m 66 years old, but don’t look it or feel it. I have always been interested in the fabulous world of hair! I am very thankful to have found this channel. The best way to describe my hair right now is a long pixie, and I don’t EVER want to be caught with “grandma hair”!! I love the edgier hairstyles. Thank you for all your styling tips and tricks I will be putting them to good use! 😉
Excellent! Fine hair women everywhere are thanking from the bottom of their hearts. I will definitely recommend your channel when given the opportunity.
Thanks for checking out the video! I hope it helped! I’d love to hear your ideas on what we could call this community!!! I’d love to create something we could have to connect us even more. What are your thoughts????
THANK YOU Justin for giving us ALL the information about hair! I've been isolated for two years caring for my parents, and you've provided SO many ideas to maximize and have fun with my hair! Thank you for making life better! 😊
Hi Justin, this is by far one of your videos II found directly applicable to me. Your advice on layers and especially on texturizing is incredibly useful and is information that even as a layperson I think I could convey to my stylist. I'm still amazed at how you're able to style the mannequins hair so that it looks great regardless of which side you part her hair on. As for names, I was thinking of Just In Style (thank you Mumma Kels). Hickox & Family also rings true to me since your community has become a family to you, and to each other. Stay well and safe dear man and thank you again for all you do for us. - Judy
Thank you! Trust me....these over sized doll heads are NOT my favorite to work on, BUT, they serve the purpose and they’re always able to film when I need to! Lmao! Glad this video helped and I definitely agree about the family!
Now that I've discovered your channel, I feel I don't need to watch any other for great hair tips. I look forward to watching (and loving) each new weekly release.
This video surprised me in the best way possible! I'm so glad I clicked on it. I have fine hair and my stylist texturizes it wrong! I knew something was amiss! She is not open to hearing my suggestions. Wow........maybe time to find a new hairstylist.
Each time I use your DeFrizz product (4th time now) I’m getting better and better results. Todays was perfect. I’ve learned that some products fail due to operator error. You really did make a great product 💕. My hair is thin and fine so I had to learn the amount (little) and application (spray it into my hands and apply) love it. Thank you for rescuing my hair. Best ever. Never seen better!
It was literally like you were talking to me! Thank you for both your videos on fine thin hair! They both made so much sense to me. Congratulations Justin on your channel continuing to grow.
You've completely "earned" this gal's subscription! I have very fine and thinning hair. I've watched some of your videos (about to dive in to more) and appreciate your tips so much!
Just when I thought you couldn’t be anymore helpful, Tuesday comes & I stand corrected...thank you Justin, so much, for hooking my thin ass nightmare hair up with so many great ideas and tips for looking better✌️♥️
That ends-only texturizing is amazing. My new hairdresser scared me when she aggressively texturized the ends of my fine hair but it now has volume that it didn’t have before.
Great video. I have thin, fine hair that is COVID long because I haven't cut it since the pandemic began. It's definitely patchy at the ends. On top of this, I've been afraid to get layers for years b/c of a really bad experience. Very helpful. New subscriber.
I love your tips. Ty so much. Thirty-four-year-old with hormonal hair loss. Toppers & wigs are too heavy for the amount of loss that I have but having nothing makes me look bald.... This really helped because I've been growing up my hair and it's about Midway down my back but it just looks so scraggly.., I thought having more hair would make it look better but your tips just made me realize what I need to do. Thank you so much.. you definitely earned my subscription
Subscribed from the first video I watched. I have a great stylist! She does it just like you were saying to. I have thin, fine blonde, now graying hair. She is a genius!
Thank you so much! Welcome to the family. I truly appreciate the support. Glad you have such an awesome stylist! There’s a ton of amazing ones out there for sure.
Just found your channel and I’m already looking for more videos. I am a fairly new, licensed cosmetologist, and I’m always looking for more knowledge. Anything to make me more confident in my ability is extremely helpful. Loving your channel! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Justin for taking the time to explain what a person with fine thin hair should and should not do with there hair!! I really appreciate your explanation of how to use product on your hair and not to overdo it.
This is the first time I've seen a video/read an article about styling fine hair where I've felt like the person talking ACTUALLY knew what they were talking about. Will be trying a couple of these tips. :) Also, suddenly feeling very lucky and very grateful that I've never had a bad experience with thinning shears.
Hey Justin, I just discovered you recently and I really appreciate, like so many others, how very well you explain things. Not in "salon specialist speak" but everyday terms so I can create the tips and find the products myself. Thanks!
I love how generous you are with practical tips. I wish I could visit you for a very overdue cut and style. Watching just a few of your videos has convinced me that you have the professional experience that would allow me to trust you to take complete control. Greetings and best wishes from a new subscriber.
hey Justin, I think this is is the second , or maybe third video of yours that I’veseen, I love your energy and appreciate, very much, the knowledge and experience you are sharing.🧐
Love this video! Like many others commenting here, I have finally been cutting my own hair to get closer to the result I want. TH-cam videos like yours have been a wonderful resource for me. Would you please share which texturizing scissors you used in this video! I would like to get a pair now that I know how to use them. Thanks, Justin. You’re a treasure! XO
Thank you SO much! That support means SO much to me! Here's a link for the shears I use. I LOVE them! Hands down, they're my favorite shears and have been for almost 20 years! I use them on every single client...no lie! Can't wait to hear how you like them! amzn.to/34ji6Us
I'm a Newbie, and I'm in love with Justin. You have answered so many of my questions in these tutorials. You are totally AWESOME and Thank you for your dedication. I'm a subscriber ☺️
I don't know thing one about styling hair....looking forward to learning how to make my fine hair look thicker and fuller. Thank you for making these videos 💜
Perfect style I'm going for with my fine hair. I have a bunch, but no volume. Thanks for the product tip. I want to look like an awesome mother-of-the-bride soon!
Wished your studio was near me , love- hate relationship all my life with fine straight hair. Decided to keep it in a pixie cut and give up. My stylist said I can carry pixie cuts better than most people. So are short cuts really not good for fine straight hair. BTW , I'm now in my 70s and my hair won the fight.
Thank you for your tips. I have thin fine hair and I have always love an A line cut. Watching your videos have convinced me to go back to my favorite cut. Thank you!❤
Justin, my hair is gray, but just like that. Long and thin and uneven. I’ll be sure to try to give it a blunt bottom edge, but oh, how I wish you’d demonstrated how you actually did all the wonderful layering, just as you demonstrated using texturing on the tips. Now, suddenly, texturing makes sense, while layering is still a mystery, other than knowing it’s what my hair needs.... Again, bless you for your kindness in sharing with us. I can’t wait to watch even more of your great instructional videos! Thanks, Linda
Totally agree that it’s frustrating to just hear ‘layering’ and that there is a right and a wrong way but not even 30 seconds of how you did said layering??? I haven’t been to a hairdresser since the lockdown and I’m currently cutting and coloring my own hair. Thank you so much for the tips on texturizing and products, but please do a follow up that explains layering for volume to complete the other half of the information needed for actually cutting in volume. Thanks for the video!
Justin, this was an amazing video.... I have fine thin hair.... this was so informational and helpful to me... I realize my daughter-in-law who is my stylist is doing it right!... even the texturizing... that’s why my hair has more volume now!... you knocked it out of the park!... much love and appreciation!!!..I have to give thought to a name!.., that is a great idea!..👏👏👏👏
Justin Hickox she is a great daughter-in-law too!!!... I am still going to travel to your salon someday when this is all over!!!.., hopefully, if I can get an appointment with you!!!!... that is my wish!😂😂😂stay safe and healthy!!!!💜💜💜💜
You and my morning cup of coffee! Perfect start to rolling into Sunday. Me - fine hair all my life. Quite a journey. Perms, short, long, good haircuts, bad haircuts...layering ahhhh.. You I trust!
Wow, I really enjoyed this demonstration and it taught me a lot about getting volume in my super thin hair. It would be ideal if I could find a stylist who knows what they are doing! I think that I can cut my own hair and it would be a better or at least close by the way it is being cut now. Another issue is that it's impossible too find a REAL STYLIST! I will be turning 69 years young tomorrow and only one time in my life have I actually had my hair done by a person who didn't ask me what kind of hair cut did I want. Instead he educated me in what would look good on me and help improve the volume of my hair. Unfortunately he moved to New York. So sorry I didn't mean to write a book but maybe you could touch on the subject of trying too find a good hair stylist. Any chance you might pass through Ogden Utah? lol. I 👍🙂
Hey, thank you so much. I truly appreciate that and I’m super glad that I can help! I actually did create a video about how to find a new stylist. I’m not sure if you’ve had a chance to see it yet? If you look through my videos I think you should be able to find it pretty easily and I really think you’ll like it! Looking forward to hearing what you think. Thanks again for the support.
I finally got a new haircut after losing half of my hair due to covid and the shedding stopped after 6 months. I was so sad but my hairdresser gave me the first hairdo. Feeling good again and learning how to maintain it till my beautifull is back again. Some of you are real therapists! 😊
Subscribed! I have really really straight, thin hair! NO hairdo ever stays in place! ugh I hate it! It's the gift and the curse of super straight hair..... Thank you for your tips!
I'd like to second this suggestion. Have been dealing with thinning on top and have gotten differing opinions from stylists about coloring my hair to camouflage. One told me I needed blonde highlights, a few years (and many highlights later) the other told me I need to darken near the roots. Didn't notice either method helping much, so now I'm letting my hair go back to natural strawberry blonde. I have been taking 10 mg biotin supplements and drinking collagen in my coffee for a few years and that seems to have helped me most - hair grows faster anyway... Would love to hear methods to make the top appear thicker. Thanks!
Would you do a video and explain exactly what undercut is? I've had it done and that seems to work best for me but I've moved to another state and I'm unable to find someone who understands what I'm saying. The three most difficult things to find are a good doctor, a good dentist, and a great hair stylist. I absolutely hate the searching process!! Thank you so much and I love your videos!!
I absolutely understand what you mean! I’ll definitely consider doing a video on that in the future. Thanks for that suggestion. In the meantime have you had a chance to watch my video about how to find a new hairstylist? It may have some insight that could help you.
Omg I've had stylists chop into my hair the wrong way with their texturizing scissors. I'm so upset now that I know! Also, glad to know this information. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video! My hair is fine AND thin. One of my biggest challenges is finding products that are light enough and actually make my hair fuller. However, I don't own a flat iron. I use a round brush when I blow dry. It looks from your videos that I need one, but it cannot be expensive. I'm going to check out your favorite. Thank you for linking your products below. Very, very helpful. Thanks so much, Justin. Your instructive videos are the best I've seen. Thanks for addressing the problem I've had with my hair for 40 years.
I have fine, thinner hair and love long straight hair so I wear extensions. Without them, my hair looks much like the first mannequin. I keep it that length so the extensions blend well. But, Certainly can not go without them. I have found that doing the "sandwich method" is a bit too heavy and tends to break my hair. Trying the single weft method today. Can you do a video on extensions for fine hair along with any tips and tricks to making it look its best. Cut, style, products etc.. ?
That would help me as well. My hair is darker and longer now. Not sure if I want extensions. Seems like alot of maintenance but do I have the patience to keep growing my hair? Prob not.
In the past (before I grew out my layers, and grew the length of my fine hair), extensions worked so well on my hair. Zero damage when the extensions were taken out. Maybe the damage depends on the manner in which the extensions are put in, and the manner in which they’re removed, and how you take care of your hair when the extensions are in? I had an “extension specialist” who gave me specific instructions, which I followed to the T. Or maybe I was just fortunate , not sure .
Great video- thanks for product names and tips! I have hair that will do anything for me… just would love 10x’s what God gave me! Fine, thin… but truly great and easy to work with. I’ve learned to be grateful … that makes me look fab no matter what!!😘😘😘
Absolutely! That’s actually a great topic. I will probably wait a little bit to do that video because I want to make sure you all know I’m not trying to just sell products. Trust is very important to me. That’s why I’m still a bit hesitant on even talking about products more than I have to right now. But thanks for the insight....I will definitely keep this in mind!
@@nancyfelstein3148 I was wondering the same thing. Justin could you tell us the name of it please :) I love your videos, I just discovered you! I am hooked. I have bay fine thin hair that won't do anything.
Like the video. My hair is fine but has enough natural wave to make a mess! Always flipping out in the wrong places and flat in others. I keep it really short to help with the battle! I will try the products you recommended. Thanks!
I really needed this info as I'm heading off to get my longish, thinish, silver-grey hair cut today, so great tips. Now I have one for you...when working with a dark 'model head' of hair, maybe you can try to wear a light shirt. A lot is lost from the viewer POV when the darkness of the hair blends right into the darkness of the shirt. Thanks again!
Hey Justin, love your videos and use your advise for my fine hair so thank you. It would be easier to see the hair you are working on if you had contrasting tshirts. It’s hard to see dark hair with a black background. Thank you
Hey Justin, You’re the man! I love your videos. They are so informative and you get to the point. I love that. So glad I found your channel. Stay safe and keep well my friend. ❤️💜💚
I NEED you to cut and color my hair! I’ve never had a stylist as knowledgeable. I’m even more hesitant after watching this video as I’m currently trying to find a new stylist. What should I say to the stylist when they ask what I want done so I get my points across which are the things you covered in this video? I’ve tried explaining to stylists that they have to be very careful and know what they’re doing when trimming my hair ESPECIALLY near my ears as the hair doesn’t grow well there and looks very string and thin if not cut correctly. Only one stylist has ever understood and trimmed my hair correctly around my ears and it took years for the stylist to figure out how to make it look not stringy and thin.
Thank you for this, very helpful, but I wish you had shown exactly how you did the cut to layer the hair. You went from discussing how useful the layering would be for achieving volume, to the hair already layered. The cut is important to know, isn't it. What angle did you use?
OMG, thank you for saying that you can STILL layer hair. I'm a child of the 80's, so BIG hair. I don't want my hair straight and limp, and all one length. I want my hair to have volume and movement, but my hair is fine and not so thick. It's wavy, but not curly. So it's alot of so-so. :( But every time I ask a stylist to layer my hair they look at me like I'm nuts.
Absolutely you can layer it. In fact I think it something that is almost necessary in many cases. I’m glad this helped. Thanks for checking out the video!
Thank you!! I appreciate the support! I KNEW I was going to hear it for that! :) lol. I didn’t have a white shirt so I tried to keep the background white and bright and have enough angles to show my points effectively. :) I wear way to much black! Lmao
What about those of us who dont use blow dryers? My hair is extremely prone to dryness and coarseness and drying it kills it. What products would help with our blowdryer? Thanks!
Hi Justin, I love your videos! Can you please make one like this but with tips for curly hair? I have round face and a short curly hair and I am sick of straighten it every day.
I hope you travel teaching these techniques to others, in the industry that stick with just what they were taught. I have thin hair from thyroid diseases. Great to have this knowledge.
Hi Justin. Love all your videos! So much trusted & amazing tips in them. Is there a particular side I should part my hair on? I’ve heard everyone has a “feminine side” & should part their hair opposite the feminine side. Thanks!🌷
Thank you so much! The part, IMO, depends on more than that. I actually did a whole video on parting your hair. Have you had a chance to check it out yet? I think you’d find a ton of good insight in it.
@@justinhickox Thanks for your reply Justin. Seems like I have seen it but not sure. Will go back & look. NEVER get tired of watching your videos. They are so enlightening.. Your skills are endless when it comes 2 hair.Thank you!
Dang you really know your stuff! Super helpful! I've had fine thin hair my whole life and have always had problems styling it. My hair currently looks like the mannequin before you did anything since I haven't had a cut in over a year and have been really wanting to go get one (or even doing a simple trim myself) lately because the ends are all uneven. I was surprised that layering can actually help thin hair too! I had a bad experience with it once and so I don't want to do layers again unless maybe you're doing my hair haha! But I've always been one to just want it to feel denser since i pull my hair back a lot. I'm definitely keeping your tips in mind, but if I were to try and trim my own hair, any suggestions? Thank you so much!!
I literally just watched this video and had a go on my hair before the vid even finished.really pleased with the look.hardly noticeable it even got slight layers in it.im well chuffed.
Ideas for a t-shirt... Hickox & Friends. The name sounds so familiar. I feel like that's what the name of your salon used to be when I went in the late 80s for the "Mad Mat" perms, loved the look!!! I'm ready to come back for one of your great cuts, hope to be able to soon! Take care and thank you!
Wow!!! That’s definitely a contender! That was absolutely the name of our old salon!!! Man, haven’t thought about that in years. Maybe a throwback to my parents and a show of respect at the same time.....I definitely like that.
@@justinhickox This cut, the layer cut for fine hair. You talk about how the way it is cut/layered.. you keep it full at the bottom and have internal layers to keep it bouncy.. so in essence, it isn't whispy or thin on the ends
Ok folks, I’ve had a LOT of people ask why I’m using a mannequin with “thick” hair in this video and not a live model with actual thin hair. This video was filmed in the middle of the original pandemic lockdown. I’m sure you can understand why I couldn’t use a live model. Mannequin heads don’t come in thin textures.

I learned alot about making my hair look thicker. Thank you. The problem is finding a hair dresser that knows these tricks.
You be on a eternal quest.id say go to salon get your hair done.Then go home and put the few layers in yourself
Thank you for all the tips. I just wish you could be my hair stylist.

Hi Justin, this is by far one of your videos II found directly applicable to me. Your advice on layers and especially on texturizing is incredibly useful and is information that even as a layperson I think I could convey to my stylist. I'm still amazed at how you're able to style the mannequins hair so that it looks great regardless of which side you part her hair on. As for names, I was thinking of Just In Style (thank you Mumma Kels). Hickox & Family also rings true to me since your community has become a family to you, and to each other. Stay well and safe dear man and thank you again for all you do for us. - Judy
Thank you! Trust me....these over sized doll heads are NOT my favorite to work on, BUT, they serve the purpose and they’re always able to film when I need to! Lmao! Glad this video helped and I definitely agree about the family!
You are much more than a hairdresser. You are so kind.
Now that I've discovered your channel, I feel I don't need to watch any other for great hair tips. I look forward to watching (and loving) each new weekly release.
This tribe doesn’t suck!!!! I love your videos!!!!
This video surprised me in the best way possible! I'm so glad I clicked on it. I have fine hair and my stylist texturizes it wrong! I knew something was amiss! She is not open to hearing my suggestions. Wow........maybe time to find a new hairstylist.
Thank you! I’m so glad I could help. Good luck on your quest for the stylist that works best for you. :)
Each time I use your DeFrizz product (4th time now) I’m getting better and better results. Todays was perfect. I’ve learned that some products fail due to operator error. You really did make a great product 💕. My hair is thin and fine so I had to learn the amount (little) and application (spray it into my hands and apply) love it. Thank you for rescuing my hair. Best ever. Never seen better!
Fell down a rabbit hole. Love your whole channel so I am binge watching!
This is one of the best compliments I can receive! Thank you for the support. I’m so glad you like the videos.
It was literally like you were talking to me! Thank you for both your videos on fine thin hair! They both made so much sense to me. Congratulations Justin on your channel continuing to grow.
Thank you Shelley! I’m really glad I could help a bit! Thanks for checking out those videos....the support means a lot!
You've completely "earned" this gal's subscription! I have very fine and thinning hair. I've watched some of your videos (about to dive in to more) and appreciate your tips so much!
Thank you so much Katie! That kind of support means a ton to me! I really appreciate the feedback!
Just when I thought you couldn’t be anymore helpful, Tuesday comes & I stand corrected...thank you Justin, so much, for hooking my thin ass nightmare hair up with so many great ideas and tips for looking better✌️♥️
Thank you Harmony! I’m stoked this could help!!! I always appreciate your support....stay well!
I have fine hair and I never knew any of this information .. I am so grateful. Thank you so much ... you rock Justin 😁
Thank you! I’m so happy I could help a bit!!! And...YOU rock!
That ends-only texturizing is amazing. My new hairdresser scared me when she aggressively texturized the ends of my fine hair but it now has volume that it didn’t have before.
Great video. I have thin, fine hair that is COVID long because I haven't cut it since the pandemic began. It's definitely patchy at the ends. On top of this, I've been afraid to get layers for years b/c of a really bad experience. Very helpful. New subscriber.
You are making complete sense. I hope your other listeners are getting what you are saying. I am and I can't believe I never figured that out myself
I love your tips. Ty so much. Thirty-four-year-old with hormonal hair loss. Toppers & wigs are too heavy for the amount of loss that I have but having nothing makes me look bald.... This really helped because I've been growing up my hair and it's about Midway down my back but it just looks so scraggly.., I thought having more hair would make it look better but your tips just made me realize what I need to do. Thank you so much.. you definitely earned my subscription
Subscribed from the first video I watched. I have a great stylist! She does it just like you were saying to. I have thin, fine blonde, now graying hair. She is a genius!
Thank you so much! Welcome to the family. I truly appreciate the support. Glad you have such an awesome stylist! There’s a ton of amazing ones out there for sure.
Just found your channel and I’m already looking for more videos. I am a fairly new, licensed cosmetologist, and I’m always looking for more knowledge. Anything to make me more confident in my ability is extremely helpful. Loving your channel! Thank you for sharing.
Awesome! Welcome to the fam! Thank you for checking out and supporting my channel! I always love hearing from stylists!
Thank you, Justin for taking the time to explain what a person with fine thin hair should and should not do with there hair!! I really appreciate your explanation of how to use product on your hair and not to overdo it.
Love your videos !! How about Hickox’s Hairem? (Like harem)
I like that. Thank you!
This is the first time I've seen a video/read an article about styling fine hair where I've felt like the person talking ACTUALLY knew what they were talking about. Will be trying a couple of these tips. :)
Also, suddenly feeling very lucky and very grateful that I've never had a bad experience with thinning shears.
Hey Justin, I just discovered you recently and I really appreciate, like so many others, how very well you explain things. Not in "salon specialist speak" but everyday terms so I can create the tips and find the products myself. Thanks!
My thin hair, older woman hair folks. Love your information!
I love how generous you are with practical tips. I wish I could visit you for a very overdue cut and style. Watching just a few of your videos has convinced me that you have the professional experience that would allow me to trust you to take complete control. Greetings and best wishes from a new subscriber.
Wow! Thank you so much for that. I truly appreciate it.
hey Justin, I think this is is the second , or maybe third video of yours that I’veseen, I love your energy and appreciate, very much, the knowledge and experience you are sharing.🧐
Love this video! Like many others commenting here, I have finally been cutting my own hair to get closer to the result I want. TH-cam videos like yours have been a wonderful resource for me. Would you please share which texturizing scissors you used in this video! I would like to get a pair now that I know how to use them. Thanks, Justin. You’re a treasure! XO
Thank you SO much! That support means SO much to me! Here's a link for the shears I use. I LOVE them! Hands down, they're my favorite shears and have been for almost 20 years! I use them on every single client...no lie! Can't wait to hear how you like them!

You have changed my life, finally I understand how to look after my hair
I'm a Newbie, and I'm in love with Justin. You have answered so many of my questions in these tutorials. You are totally AWESOME and Thank you for your dedication. I'm a subscriber ☺️
Thank you!!! I’m stoked I can help! Welcome to the fam!
I don't know thing one about styling hair....looking forward to learning how to make my fine hair look thicker and fuller. Thank you for making these videos 💜
Perfect style I'm going for with my fine hair. I have a bunch, but no volume. Thanks for the product tip. I want to look like an awesome mother-of-the-bride soon!
Congratulations on the wedding!!! When is it?
Wished your studio was near me , love- hate relationship all my life with fine straight hair. Decided to keep it in a pixie cut and give up. My stylist said I can carry pixie cuts better than most people. So are short cuts really not good for fine straight hair. BTW , I'm now in my 70s and my hair won the fight.
OH CALL IT (JUST IN TIME )!! GOOD NAME 👍 LOVE THE IDEA OF THE TEE SHIRTS WOULD DEFINITELY BUY ONE !!
That's a solid name for sure....and something I"ve heard said a lot over the years just in general! :)
Great! Thank you for video! First haircut looks perfect)
Thank you for your tips. I have thin fine hair and I have always love an A line cut. Watching your videos have convinced me to go back to my favorite cut. Thank you!❤
Justin, my hair is gray, but just like that. Long and thin and uneven. I’ll be sure to try to give it a blunt bottom edge, but oh, how I wish you’d demonstrated how you actually did all the wonderful layering, just as you demonstrated using texturing on the tips. Now, suddenly, texturing makes sense, while layering is still a mystery, other than knowing it’s what my hair needs.... Again, bless you for your kindness in sharing with us. I can’t wait to watch even more of your great instructional videos! Thanks, Linda
Thank you Linda! That’s a great idea. I may do a whole video about that and other layering techniques. Thanks for the feedback!
Totally agree that it’s frustrating to just hear ‘layering’ and that there is a right and a wrong way but not even 30 seconds of how you did said layering??? I haven’t been to a hairdresser since the lockdown and I’m currently cutting and coloring my own hair. Thank you so much for the tips on texturizing and products, but please do a follow up that explains layering for volume to complete the other half of the information needed for actually cutting in volume. Thanks for the video!
Justin, this was an amazing video.... I have fine thin hair.... this was so informational and helpful to me... I realize my daughter-in-law who is my stylist is doing it right!... even the texturizing... that’s why my hair has more volume now!... you knocked it out of the park!... much love and appreciation!!!..I have to give thought to a name!.., that is a great idea!..👏👏👏👏
Thanks Linda! Sounds like you have a solid stylist!!! Nice! And as always, thanks for the support and feedback!
Justin Hickox she is a great daughter-in-law too!!!... I am still going to travel to your salon someday when this is all over!!!.., hopefully, if I can get an appointment with you!!!!... that is my wish!😂😂😂stay safe and healthy!!!!💜💜💜💜
You and my morning cup of coffee! Perfect start to rolling into Sunday. Me - fine hair all my life. Quite a journey. Perms, short, long, good haircuts, bad haircuts...layering ahhhh.. You I trust!
Wow, I really enjoyed this demonstration and it taught me a lot about getting volume in my super thin hair. It would be ideal if I could find a stylist who knows what they are doing! I think that I can cut my own hair and it would be a better or at least close by the way it is being cut now. Another issue is that it's impossible too find a REAL STYLIST! I will be turning 69 years young tomorrow and only one time in my life have I actually had my hair done by a person who didn't ask me what kind of hair cut did I want. Instead he educated me in what would look good on me and help improve the volume of my hair. Unfortunately he moved to New York. So sorry I didn't mean to write a book but maybe you could touch on the subject of trying too find a good hair stylist. Any chance you might pass through Ogden Utah? lol. I 👍🙂
Hey, thank you so much. I truly appreciate that and I’m super glad that I can help! I actually did create a video about how to find a new stylist. I’m not sure if you’ve had a chance to see it yet? If you look through my videos I think you should be able to find it pretty easily and I really think you’ll like it! Looking forward to hearing what you think. Thanks again for the support.
Exactly my own experience! Last time I got a haircut, I was embarrassed to be seen walking to my car.
I finally got a new haircut after losing half of my hair due to covid and the shedding stopped after 6 months.
I was so sad but my hairdresser gave me the first hairdo. Feeling good again and learning how to maintain it till my beautifull is back again.
Some of you are real therapists! 😊
Subscribed! I have really really straight, thin hair! NO hairdo ever stays in place! ugh I hate it! It's the gift and the curse of super straight hair..... Thank you for your tips!
More on camouflaging thinning hair? Thanks so much!
Thank you. Great topic idea!
I'd like to second this suggestion. Have been dealing with thinning on top and have gotten differing opinions from stylists about coloring my hair to camouflage. One told me I needed blonde highlights, a few years (and many highlights later) the other told me I need to darken near the roots. Didn't notice either method helping much, so now I'm letting my hair go back to natural strawberry blonde. I have been taking 10 mg biotin supplements and drinking collagen in my coffee for a few years and that seems to have helped me most - hair grows faster anyway...
Would love to hear methods to make the top appear thicker. Thanks!
DJ BOSNICK agreed. The internet is confusing. :(
How to camouflage thinning hair in front (starting to see more forehead) without incorporating bangs would be great!
Thank you for sharing 💕
I just learned through you more mistakes I've been doing with my hair. Thanks for your great insight!!!
Would you do a video and explain exactly what undercut is? I've had it done and that seems to work best for me but I've moved to another state and I'm unable to find someone who understands what I'm saying. The three most difficult things to find are a good doctor, a good dentist, and a great hair stylist. I absolutely hate the searching process!! Thank you so much and I love your videos!!
I absolutely understand what you mean! I’ll definitely consider doing a video on that in the future. Thanks for that suggestion. In the meantime have you had a chance to watch my video about how to find a new hairstylist? It may have some insight that could help you.
You earned my subscription. Lol. I love you! Thank you for the helpful tips.
Thanks for subbing!
Omg I've had stylists chop into my hair the wrong way with their texturizing scissors. I'm so upset now that I know! Also, glad to know this information. Thank you.
You’re so welcome! I’m really glad I could help. Thank you for that
I really appreciate in-studio instruction like this.
Thank you so much for this video! My hair is fine AND thin. One of my biggest challenges is finding products that are light enough and actually make my hair fuller. However, I don't own a flat iron. I use a round brush when I blow dry. It looks from your videos that I need one, but it cannot be expensive. I'm going to check out your favorite. Thank you for linking your products below. Very, very helpful.
Thanks so much, Justin. Your instructive videos are the best I've seen. Thanks for addressing the problem I've had with my hair for 40 years.
Thank you!!! That’s way too nice of you to say. I appreciate the support for sure. I’m glad I could help.
Thank you Justin all your styling tips ad tricks are amazing to watch.
I have fine, thinner hair and love long straight hair so I wear extensions. Without them, my hair looks much like the first mannequin. I keep it that length so the extensions blend well. But, Certainly can not go without them. I have found that doing the "sandwich method" is a bit too heavy and tends to break my hair. Trying the single weft method today. Can you do a video on extensions for fine hair along with any tips and tricks to making it look its best. Cut, style, products etc.. ?
Great question Laurie! I am definitely going to be doing a few videos on extensions. Thanks for the feedback!
That would help me as well. My hair is darker and longer now. Not sure if I want extensions. Seems like alot of maintenance but do I have the patience to keep growing my hair? Prob not.
Extensions ruined my hair. It's been years and I have not regained the hair that I lost.
They also ruined my hair
In the past (before I grew out my layers, and grew the length of my fine hair), extensions worked so well on my hair. Zero damage when the extensions were taken out. Maybe the damage depends on the manner in which the extensions are put in, and the manner in which they’re removed, and how you take care of your hair when the extensions are in? I had an “extension specialist” who gave me specific instructions, which I followed to the T. Or maybe I was just fortunate , not sure .
Great video- thanks for product names and tips! I have hair that will do anything for me… just would love 10x’s what God gave me! Fine, thin… but truly great and easy to work with. I’ve learned to be grateful … that makes me look fab no matter what!!😘😘😘
👏🏻❤️👏🏻 I love to know more about styling products that are actually not damaging my hair! 🙏🏻
Absolutely! That’s actually a great topic. I will probably wait a little bit to do that video because I want to make sure you all know I’m not trying to just sell products. Trust is very important to me. That’s why I’m still a bit hesitant on even talking about products more than I have to right now. But thanks for the insight....I will definitely keep this in mind!
Justin Hickox please share products asap
What is the name of the hair spray that you talked about
@@nancyfelstein3148 I was wondering the same thing. Justin could you tell us the name of it please :)
I love your videos, I just discovered you! I am hooked. I have bay fine thin hair that won't do anything.
Like the video. My hair is fine but has enough natural wave to make a mess! Always flipping out in the wrong places and flat in others. I keep it really short to help with the battle! I will try the products you recommended. Thanks!
You’re so wonderful at explaining everything! Thank you!
I really needed this info as I'm heading off to get my longish, thinish, silver-grey hair cut today, so great tips. Now I have one for you...when working with a dark 'model head' of hair, maybe you can try to wear a light shirt. A lot is lost from the viewer POV when the darkness of the hair blends right into the darkness of the shirt. Thanks again!
I like "Hick's Chicks" lol. Perhaps just Justin Hickox Studio Squad? I don't know. Fantastic content on your channel. 🙌
Thank you! I like both of those names!!!
boy do i wish you were in boston you are so informative
Hey Justin, love your videos and use your advise for my fine hair so thank you. It would be easier to see the hair you are working on if you had contrasting tshirts. It’s hard to see dark hair with a black background. Thank you
I am wondering if you have a video for fine, thin, wavy/curly hair. I would LOVE to see that one!
Hey Justin, You’re the man! I love your videos. They are so informative and you get to the point. I love that. So glad I found your channel. Stay safe and keep well my friend.
❤️💜💚
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that a lot.
Thank you! I just used the technique you showed to blend blunt ends on my side swept bangs….worked perfectly
I NEED you to cut and color my hair! I’ve never had a stylist as knowledgeable. I’m even more hesitant after watching this video as I’m currently trying to find a new stylist. What should I say to the stylist when they ask what I want done so I get my points across which are the things you covered in this video? I’ve tried explaining to stylists that they have to be very careful and know what they’re doing when trimming my hair ESPECIALLY near my ears as the hair doesn’t grow well there and looks very string and thin if not cut correctly. Only one stylist has ever understood and trimmed my hair correctly around my ears and it took years for the stylist to figure out how to make it look not stringy and thin.
I was looking forward to the cutting 🥸🥸🥸🥸
Thank you for this, very helpful, but I wish you had shown exactly how you did the cut to layer the hair. You went from discussing how useful the layering would be for achieving volume, to the hair already layered. The cut is important to know, isn't it. What angle did you use?
I feel as if iI just got a personal consultation! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
OMG, thank you for saying that you can STILL layer hair. I'm a child of the 80's, so BIG hair. I don't want my hair straight and limp, and all one length. I want my hair to have volume and movement, but my hair is fine and not so thick. It's wavy, but not curly. So it's alot of so-so. :( But every time I ask a stylist to layer my hair they look at me like I'm nuts.
Absolutely you can layer it. In fact I think it something that is almost necessary in many cases. I’m glad this helped. Thanks for checking out the video!
Lol. I too am an 80’s child and I agree, I just can’t pull off the pin straight, no layered look at all... I still love the layered big volume look!
You are SOO GOOD at what you do. Mad scissor skills. You are an excellent teacher. Thank you for your care, guidance and encouragement.
Please wear a light colored shirt with a dark haired model. We can’t see the hair against your dark shirt. Thank you!! Great videos!!!!
Thank you!! I appreciate the support! I KNEW I was going to hear it for that! :) lol. I didn’t have a white shirt so I tried to keep the background white and bright and have enough angles to show my points effectively. :) I wear way to much black! Lmao
Justin Hickox Your background WAS perfect. And it was then that we could see the whole head:)
❤
I just discovered you and I'm very pleased with your videos! And I can really tell you love what you do. Thank you for sharing your talent!
What about those of us who dont use blow dryers? My hair is extremely prone to dryness and coarseness and drying it kills it. What products would help with our blowdryer?
Thanks!
Exactly not just what i wanted but actually what i needed ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Justin, I love your videos! Can you please make one like this but with tips for curly hair? I have round face and a short curly hair and I am sick of straighten it every day.
Thank you! I’ll definitely be doing a whole series for curly hair. Thanks for the feedback and support!
I hope you travel teaching these techniques to others, in the industry that stick with just what they were taught. I have thin hair from thyroid diseases. Great to have this knowledge.
Hi Justin. Love all your videos! So much trusted & amazing tips in them. Is there a particular side I should part my hair on? I’ve heard everyone has a “feminine side” & should part their hair opposite the feminine side. Thanks!🌷
Thank you so much! The part, IMO, depends on more than that. I actually did a whole video on parting your hair. Have you had a chance to check it out yet? I think you’d find a ton of good insight in it.
@@justinhickox Thanks for your reply Justin. Seems like I have seen it but not sure. Will go back & look. NEVER get tired of watching your videos. They are so enlightening.. Your skills are endless when it comes 2 hair.Thank you!
I have very long fine silky virgin hair that I love which I wash, condition and leave it to dry naturally !
Dang you really know your stuff! Super helpful! I've had fine thin hair my whole life and have always had problems styling it. My hair currently looks like the mannequin before you did anything since I haven't had a cut in over a year and have been really wanting to go get one (or even doing a simple trim myself) lately because the ends are all uneven. I was surprised that layering can actually help thin hair too! I had a bad experience with it once and so I don't want to do layers again unless maybe you're doing my hair haha! But I've always been one to just want it to feel denser since i pull my hair back a lot. I'm definitely keeping your tips in mind, but if I were to try and trim my own hair, any suggestions? Thank you so much!!
I literally just watched this video and had a go on my hair before the vid even finished.really pleased with the look.hardly noticeable it even got slight layers in it.im well chuffed.
Your explanation of texturizing makes so much sense now!! Your videos are very good, thank you!
Ideas for a t-shirt... Hickox & Friends. The name sounds so familiar. I feel like that's what the name of your salon used to be when I went in the late 80s for the "Mad Mat" perms, loved the look!!! I'm ready to come back for one of your great cuts, hope to be able to soon! Take care and thank you!
Wow!!! That’s definitely a contender! That was absolutely the name of our old salon!!! Man, haven’t thought about that in years. Maybe a throwback to my parents and a show of respect at the same time.....I definitely like that.
You achieved amazing volume! Wow!
"We Are All Hair Together."
Lol! Love it! That’s a solid tag line! :)
Can’t believe you giving all this info for free. Thank you, just thank you. I Liked and subscribed. ♥️
Can you do a video showing how you layer the top portion , leaving length dense looking
Thanks for the feedback! I’m definitely considering doing some videos like that. I think they would be good for clients as well as for stylists.
Thank you so much for this. My hair is straight and fine, I've always wanted more volume.
crown of beauty is the name for this community.
I like that. I’m all about crowns and they make cool tattoos! Lol!
YOUR REALY GOOD EXPLAINING WHAT WE HAVE TO DO...INTERESTING 😁
I would like to see the how to cut of this style. How you kept it full at the bottom while adding internal layers. Is there a video on the actual cut?
Hey Michelle, thank you. I haven’t made any videos about the actual cutting techniques yet. Which cut were you talking about?
@@justinhickox This cut, the layer cut for fine hair. You talk about how the way it is cut/layered.. you keep it full at the bottom and have internal layers to keep it bouncy.. so in essence, it isn't whispy or thin on the ends
I love this video as I have bob style haircut that is fine. This helped me so much. Thank you.
Awesome! I’m so glad I could help. Thanks for checking it out!
