SUMMARY: 1) Your hair can't be too long. Her hair was waist length and weighed her roots down, is now 'bra strap length'. 2) Use dry texturizing shampoo to help give lift and volume to combat oil. her fav is in the description. 3) Get roots very clean, moisturize ends. shampoo is in description. Don't put moisturizer on roots. 4) Bleached hair absorbs oil better. Don't overdo it and damage your hair beyond no return but if considering highlights it will also help with oil and help your hair style better. 5) If hair is extremely healthy (not colored/processed) and you want to curl your hair put in minimal conditioner and no leave ins or sprays. Your fine, virgin, straight, healthy, hair doesn't need any moisture or oils, that will only relax the curls. 6) Mousse is better than hairspray. A lot of hairspray on fine hair creates crunch and mats. Mousse more touchable and effective. Flexible hold hairspray after is okay, not firm hold. 7) Go with smaller barrel when curling because you know your hair will loosen up anyway. 8) Curling hair before styles (braiding etc) gives volume and helps styles hold. Braids look different with curled hair, more 'bubbly' and voluminous. 9) Pomade better than oil better for frizzy ends bc it won't loosen the curl like oil would. very damaged ends could use a tiny bit of oil on the very very ends.
Can you please do a video going from wet just washed hair to your everyday styled look with drugstore products. I love the way your hair looks but ya girl is a poor college student 😂😆
While we could always use more of these :) Kayley has done a few which would help you out! Just look through the videos - she has some "from clean to dirty three days" type videos and she tends to recommend the Kristen Ess and Herbal Essences products which are both drug store throughout her videos. It might take some mixing and matching, but until our girl has time, this might help!
Thank you for talking about the struggles of fine, THIN STRAIGHT hair. Girls with the opposite type of hair think their STRAIGHTENED hair is the perfect kind of hair, therefore they wish they had straight hair. All the thick haired girls whine and cry about how good we have it, how we have the easiest hair to manage and deal with. It makes me SOOOO mad every single time I hear it, and I feel completely alone in my own hair struggles. They have no idea what it's like to not be able to do ANYTHING with your hair. Or how it immediately separates in to tiny, scraggly oily strands that want to just stick to you if you don't use any products. How it makes you look like a wet rat most of the time, people think you're dirty because you look greasy. God forbid you have oily skin like me too, hello acne. If you wash it too much it just gets oilier, but it looks best when it's freshly washed. I only wash my hair twice a week, it still doesn't look nice when it's not washed, despite what people say about your hair not getting as dirty as quickly when you go longer between washes. Still VERY noticeable that it's oily. But it's healthier to go longer without washing it, and it makes it take a LITTLE bit longer to get oily. Like one extra day. They don't know how the tiniest breeze turns our hair into a bird's nest of a thousand painful tangles, but brushing your hair more than once a day will make it an oily mess. Girls with thick frizzy hair think they have to use a million products to smooth their hair down when they really just need some moisture and to stop using heating tools. Thin haired girls have to use a bunch of products to make their hair just look NORMAL and not over dry or over moisturize and weight it down. And damage actually makes it look better! To a point of course. Once it's super damaged, it looks and feels like fried straw. Thankfully our hair does better with bleach than other types. It is a CONSTANT battle for balance that just gets overlooked as "Oh you can do whatever you want with your hair, you're so lucky!" Girl I haven't been able to curl my hair in YEARS. I have given up styling my hair at all, it's so ugly. I just let it be its natural flat self, since thick haired girls say we can do that with our hair. "You can just wash it and walk out the door and look great!" And it looks horrible lol. There are no positives to fine thin straight hair, besides not having to do much with it if you cut it all off.
Madison Crum I relate to everything! Such a stupid thing to worry about, but I’ve cried many times over my hair because it literally NEVER looks good. Considered shaving it but my parents would kill me. I’ve tried waist length hair, I’ve tried a bob, I’ve tried no layers and layers, I’ve tried different styles. l don’t know what to do.
i'm 49. i started lightening and coloring my hair in my late teens. part of the reason was for what she mentioned here - i had fine and oily hair. keeping it "damaged" helped me keep it somewhat styled. i kept this up until the last few years when we just can't afford it. fortunately, its not as oily as it used to be. but the good news, ladies, oily hair and skin will keep you more youthful looking longer!! up until the last year, people thought i was still in my 30s. the last year has been stressful due to health issues, so i have some fine lines around my eyes that are beginning to tell on me, but people still think i'm early 40s. september, i'll be 50. there's always a silver lining to every problem.
She has one from a few years back that I actually used for my grad school graduation! There's one with a pretty side braid that I love. It will take some searching but I know it's here!
this was THE BIGGEST HELP. I have super straight hair that has only been slightly bleached. I was so mad I curled my hair twice last Saturday... twice WITH a really good hairspray & it only took 15 minutes until it was super straight again. Sooooo frustratingggggg. You’re amazing. Saving my life.
GIRL YES I have fine flat hair, it'd been pretty consistently between shoulder and boob length for the last 10 years and I cannot get it to have any shape! I used to have longer hair and would struggle with split ends and major dryness. This video is everything I needed
BEST video ever for fine straight hair! I agree with everything you said. I found that a modified wet set gives the longest lasting, moisturised and shiny yet voluminous curls on my hair. I do this instead of using hot tools on it. Fine hair gets more easily damaged too.
Amen to that I have super fine hair and it neverrrr holds curls when done with hot tools - wet sets are my absolute holy grail and using a setting spray with it will hold curls in my hair for three to four days afterwards
your energy is always so uplifting and lovely, i always get so cheered up when watching you, no matter the topic! this just happened to be perfect as i definitely have very fine, VERY straight hair! for me, what ended up working the best was cutting it 😂 the longer it was, the duller and straighter it looked, now it actually looks pretty bouncy and has more volume!
I wore those EXACT shoes to every dance freshman and sophomore year. And i have very fine fine straight hair and it's making improvements... but needs these tips. THANK YOU!!!
I used to have very fine and very flat oily hair, but when I bleached it and started curling it, it made a lot of difference. Another tip that I actually learned from Kayley - let the hair cool in your hand after curling it. It makes the curls last so much longer!
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! I've watched so many fine hair tips and tricks videos as well as how to get your hair to hold curl videos and yours have BY FAR been the best and most helpful.
THANK U SO MUCH FOR THIS INFO. I think this is the first youtube comment I have ever left. But this video has changed my life. I have struggled with thin hair my whole life and never heard of most of these tips
I have extremely fine, flat hair. I have already learned SO MUCH from you from watching you over the years, and I've learned so much more now! Thank you so much, Kayley! You are so incredibly talented, you are definitely my favorite hair person on youtube!
Yaaaaaaaas Kayley Melissa, Hair Queen, to my rescue!!!! I have struggled with flat, oily, straight hair my whole life, and I am just now learning more about how to work with it (you are so right, damaged hair is definitely easier to style!), so I am super thankful for your extra tips!!!
you have just described my hair to an almost crazy extent!!!! the oily, heavy, thick, super fine hair.... used to be really long and is not shorter! thanks for all the these tips!!
my sister and niece's hair are so fine, i could literally brush their hair, put the brush down to braid it, and it already be tangled again. my niece's hair would literally catch lint from the air and tangle around it.
What helps me is Argan oil. I take a tiny bit of my hair serum and put a drop or two of Argan oil on top, warm it up in my hands and spread it around in my damp hair (from the chin down). After this I blowdry my hair with a paddle brush until it's about 90% dry. The oils and blow drying it with a paddle brush makes a real difference in how tangled it gets.
Try adding apple cider vinegar (organic) to your hair washing routine (there are many videos on this topic). It makes my hair nice and soft. Also, try braiding it. It REALLY keeps my hair from getting tangled. If I put my hair up in a ponytail, it gets tangled. If in braids, it doesn't!
I've learned so much about how to take care of/style my hair from you over the last couple of years. Thank you. And after joining the braidaholic nation I've saved my length from the sweltering heat of summer and the urge to cut it all off and go to a pixie cut again
I’m so grateful to have found your channel! My long hair was effectively a curtain, sheet- if you will- of hair so i cut it into a lob for style- now I see a way out 🙌
Yessssss! Thank you so much. You are clear, straight to the point. I am one of those "virgin hair" ladies and your tip about mousse has proved a game changer. Now my curls actually last all day (ok they turn to soft waves but it's an amazing result for me 😁).
"Damage is actually your friend" OMG everything you said is too real. Definitely have dyed my hair to avoid washing it rather than for color. Word for word, everything you said describes my fine hair journey. Thank you for posting a real, true video for this hair type. It's rare in the TH-cam world.
I remember my hairdo for prom, my hairstylist put so much hairspray on my curls (thin hair) that when I arrived at the location my hair was completely flat and stiff, so I really feel your advice on mousse before hairspray!
LOVE THIS!!! Kayley, can you also please make a video on how to take care of your blonde (keep it from turning rusty yellow) etc? That would be so helpful for so many people!
I have virgin, untreated hair, and what you are saying is SO TRUE! My hair does not keep a curl at all! I have naturally straight hair and used to have waist-length hair until very recently, and I basically gave up on curling because it always fell so quickly!
Loved this video!! I agree with other comments, I would love to see a part two to this video, where you show us your favorite products for your hair!! Like; •What oils you use/recommend for your ends •Your favorite styling tools •All your favorite types of dry shampoo/leave in conditioner/mousse etc. Something like that would be amazing 😊💕
Girl you have brought this lady's fine, flat (yet super thick) hair to life just by watching your videos over the years but this one was EXTRA helpful. Really does a great job of breaking down what you do to your hair to come up with your style (that I have been desperately trying to recreate - getting there haha). I am with everyone saying we want a product haul/recommendation video though. BTW, I did not know that color treated hair was such a great repellent of the whole grease situation...I just always assumed that my hair looked worse because my roots were growing out, not because the grease holds better to unbleached hair. Definitely validates my frustration with my hair when it's due for a touch up. 😜 Love your stuff and just love you in general!! Keep being amazing!! And if you could post some more bridal hair tutorials l would love you forever (my bestie is getting married in November and I'm her MOH and we are trying to figure out styles for all the girls 😳 #allthefloofybraids)
Can we please get a tutorial for the mousse to curls with hot tool. I cannot for the life of me get anything to curl my fine straight hair and it is killing me.
I feel you. Hairdressers are always so full of themselves when I tell them "oh no don't bother, the waves won't stay anyway" after they offered to style my hair following the haircut. They tell me stuff like "so far I curled every head" and I just give in and watch them struggle. You can always tell when they're getting frustrated because it's not working and they're spending way too much time on this, they become silent and glimpse at the watch :D
Hi can we get a PART 2? Drugstore products for fine hair AND a video showing how effective mousse is over hairspray! thankss! GREAT VIDEO!:D. this is SOOOOO HELPFUL ,YOU HAVE NO IDEA KAYLEY!
Would you make a video on pomade? The only time I ever see it is in the men's section and have no idea what it could do for the texture of long fine curled hair.
Poorstargazer23 Kayley’s recommendations got me into using Kristin Ess products (found at Target) and there are two great pomades from that brand that I use a lot! I recommend their water-based pomade for adding texture and hold to styles, and their shine pomade for taming baby hairs and flyaways. If you want to see them in action definitely check out Kayley’s Kristin Ess reviews! Hope this helped :)
Girl, where were these tips when I was in high school lol I'm 33 and just learning about all these things and how to style my fine straight hair. I'm so glad I've come across your channel and how to better deal with my hair. I've always struggled with keeping a curl in my hair and back in like middle/high school and if I wanted to curl my hair for whatever reason, I would douse my hair in hairspray. So I'm going to try using mouse. Thank you for all your tips!
OMG! Someone else who “damages” their hair for the texture change so that you don’t have to shampoo as often! I get a curly perm in my hair every 8 months or so . . . I not only get the curls but the courser, slightly damaged hair from the perm lets me go several days before washing. It’s a miracle!
I second this request!!! So far I have found Kenra Volume Mousse Extra and also Bumble and Bumble Styling Creme (works as a mousse when used with heat; more like a gel when used without heat) :)
This video is so helpful for my fine, straight hair! Could you do an updated video? Also, would love your suggestion on both high end and drugstore products to help fine hair. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this!! I have always been struggling with my fine hair. It never holds a style and my boss actually thought I wasn't brushing my hair because of how frizzy it gets... it always seemed as though it would never look decent unless I went to a salon every freaking day... thank you so much for these tips!
We literally have the same hair and during the time when I highlighted my hair blonde, my hair life was so much simpler! But it’s so expensive that I grew it out and now I once again have the shiniest, finest, straightest, silkiest, flattest hair in the history of the world 😭. It’s so unfortunate that something that is so helpful to my hair really has to be done by a professional to look good.
I have super fine natural dark blonde hair which used to be platinum blonde. I stopped bleaching my hair because the chemicals were making it thin on top and I was scared. I’m always looking for ways to add more volume to my hair. I just read on here that a blunt haircut is good. I will ask for it next time I go to the salon.
This is great advice for people with this type of hair like myself! I can confirm that these techniques will work! No hair stylist has been able to help me and it took years for me to discover these things on my own. You have saved young people with this hair type years of struggling and disappointment. There is just one other thing that I have learned for keeping my hair curled. Use setting lotion and steam rollers. Any other method just falls out in about 10 mins or less. I did learn one thing from your video and that is the advice about curling your hair before doing a voluminous braid. I was unsuccessful when I tried this type of braid before. So, I'll try your advice. Thank you!
I’m 56. I was in high school 1980-1984 when hair was BIG. No mine! So oily I used baby powder halfway through the day (dry shampoo didn’t exist)! I only stopped washing it every day once I found good dry shampoos a few years ago. I thought I was alone! Over 500 comments from others struggling with this hair is amazing to me! Thank you for this! 💙
I watched this on saturday and dug out an old can of moose on Sunday, curled my hair and wow. It started a little 80s (barrel might have been too small!) but I still have nice curls today which for my straight af hair has never happened before! Thanks for this video!
Hello Melissa!🌻 I am new here, love your tips-thank you! I always had normal hair, but I noticed a few years ago that they became much thinner and regular hair styles doesn't look the same anymore. I don't use a dry shampoo, because of the problems it creates for your roots, it's hard to remove that build up and your hair just slow down with the growth as well. I have bought a Bumble and bumble thickening go big treatment. 🙌 Someone recommend me here on TH-cam and I didn't really believed that it can make any noticable change, but I bought it anyway, because nothing else works. OMG! Once I put it for the first time on my dry hair, it didn't made a huge difference, but when I put it on wet hair and dry it with the hair dryer upside down-my hair tripled for sure! 💁I had that much hair only when I was a teenager... I really recommend it-there is nothing better in my opinion. No hair spray, no mouse, no volumizing shampoos helped me-hair looked more thin and greasy. Rice water creates volume as well, it might be because it drys that natural hair grease a little bit and hair looks much more separated naturally. If you have very dry hair ends I wouldn't recommend it, your hair will be more dry and frizzy that already is.🤓
My hair looks exactly the way yours did in high school! This was the most helpful hair tutorial I ever watched. I have to change out pretty much every product I use, haha.
I have never had my hair dyed/ bleached for more than 20 years of my life because my hair is super fine and thick and I just don’t want to damage it although there’s a color I’ve always wanted to try. But after this, I’m going to to do. Thanks Kayley 🥺
Try braiding your hair. I prefer pigtailed braids because they're more comfortable when resting my head back. I find that braids make my hair less tangled. I don't like the waves I get from the braids but maybe you will!
I twist my hair and put in a bun semi wet. When I take it down I have wave/ curls that give a lot of volume to my hair. I have fine straight hair. Sometimes the curls come out and I can tousle them and go or it just gives me the volume I need and I curl it . Mainly it gives lots of volume every time.
I always put it in a bun, or if I want it's wavy the next day I braid it when wet (I find Dutch braids work better as they're tighter). Any time I leave it out I always get bad kinked bedhair on one side of my head that just won't go away
I started growing my hair out and it is truly like my oily hair from high school came back. It lasted a long two months before I got highlights. It solves more of my problems than it makes.
Very interesting! I also just realised that damage is your friend.. I was OBSESSED with healthy hair but now I finally broke free and got my highlights again, so happy! It would be very interesting to talk a bit about cuts, I struggle with heaviness or with weird shapes with certain lengths and layers
I used to have very oily hair and had to wash it almost everyday, I ended up spending a whole summer only washing my hair with water (sounds crazy I know), scalp massages, and a boar bristle brush theres vids on it, and it has been so helpful, and for a bit it was greasy (why i did it over the summer) but it made my hair so much healthier and it hasnt been greasy since ( i started using shampoo and conditioner again) definitely recommend if you can get yourself through the greasy stage (hats, constarch/cocoa powder, and scarves are your best friend!)
This is so helpful!! I have fine, straight, virgin, healthy hair (I know, poor me) and I never can get my hair to do anything so I can't wait to try these!
Very helpful video can you please do a video on your favorite hair care products and also let us know what thermal protectant you like because the ones I have used are too heavy but I do need it because my hair is damaged. Thanks luv!
In this video your eyes looked like liquid silver! So beautiful! And thanks for the fine hair tips. I'm forever desperate for help with my super fine hair!
One more tip I have, since I have super fine straight hair, is using clip in or tape in extensions. When I started using extensions it helped my hair stayed curled. I assume its bc the extensions are meant to hold different styles that my hair just kind of followed suit.
‘My hair was heavy, flat, and oily’ STORY OF MY LIFE! This was so helpful. My hair is thick in terms of volume I have a lot, but fine in terms of texture and I never know what to do with it
Suuuper helpful video! My hair is hip length, virgin, undamaged and fine and I struggle with exactly what you're talking about. My one question is: is heatless curling more effective than doing it with heat? What products should I use with heatless curling and not getting my hair crunchy/ unmanageable, matted and impossible to comb out afterwards! Maybe you could get a longhair model and curl their hair? That would be great (I volunteer! 😄) Also my wedding is coming up so these tips are much appreciated
Another product that has really helped me keep a curl is setting lotion. You can get it at Sally's for very cheap, but I find that my curls last for days and days if I use setting lotion.
The brand "system professional" volume line, is a GAME CHANGER for fine oily straight longer hair! I've been using it for 5 months now, and my hair has never looked better! You only use a very small amount, dime size, for medium/long hair of shampoo. I have to wash my hair 5 times a week, because of gym. And do the hair mask once a week, to once every 2 weeks. And use the mousse after every shower. The mousse us actually a conditioner. It is a little pricey, and the bottles are small. But like I said, a little goes a very very long way. I learned the hard way the first use and spent 5 min trying to get all the product out. Haha. One bottle of shampoo lasted me 4 months. And I am still on my first tub of hair mask, 5 months in. The areolifter(mousse) lasts about 3/4 months depending if used after every shower, etc. But total game changer! I get it from my stylist, but I believe it is available at Ulta now. 😁
CAN WE DO A PART 2 - PRODUCTS TO USE FOR FINE/FLAT HAIR????? THANKS!!!!!!!
+
the drugstore/ affordable kind!!!!!!
Yes! I was dying to hear what her fave strong/firm hold mousse was.
bluebutterfly105m the beach babe line from not your mother’s is AMAZING
Yes I never use mousse because it gets way too sticky and just clots the hairs together and ugh
SUMMARY:
1) Your hair can't be too long. Her hair was waist length and weighed her roots down, is now 'bra strap length'.
2) Use dry texturizing shampoo to help give lift and volume to combat oil. her fav is in the description.
3) Get roots very clean, moisturize ends. shampoo is in description. Don't put moisturizer on roots.
4) Bleached hair absorbs oil better. Don't overdo it and damage your hair beyond no return but if considering highlights it will also help with oil and help your hair style better.
5) If hair is extremely healthy (not colored/processed) and you want to curl your hair put in minimal conditioner and no leave ins or sprays. Your fine, virgin, straight, healthy, hair doesn't need any moisture or oils, that will only relax the curls.
6) Mousse is better than hairspray. A lot of hairspray on fine hair creates crunch and mats. Mousse more touchable and effective. Flexible hold hairspray after is okay, not firm hold.
7) Go with smaller barrel when curling because you know your hair will loosen up anyway.
8) Curling hair before styles (braiding etc) gives volume and helps styles hold. Braids look different with curled hair, more 'bubbly' and voluminous.
9) Pomade better than oil better for frizzy ends bc it won't loosen the curl like oil would. very damaged ends could use a tiny bit of oil on the very very ends.
God bless you

So helpful!! Literally describing problems I can fix with my hair. I'd love some tips on how to help long, flat hair from matting?
Such a good idea!!!
you have just described my hair to an almost crazy extent!!!! the oily, heavy, thick, super fine hair.... used to be really long and is not shorter! thanks for all the these tips!!
love this...can you add how to keep it from being tangled all the time? mine is straight and is always tangled 😥
my sister and niece's hair are so fine, i could literally brush their hair, put the brush down to braid it, and it already be tangled again. my niece's hair would literally catch lint from the air and tangle around it.
Have you tried clarifying and/or chelating it? You can get special shampoos for that. I absolutely understand your struggle :D
I had to cut my hair to get rid of this problem! Once my hair gets below my chest, the tangles will never end!
What helps me is Argan oil. I take a tiny bit of my hair serum and put a drop or two of Argan oil on top, warm it up in my hands and spread it around in my damp hair (from the chin down). After this I blowdry my hair with a paddle brush until it's about 90% dry. The oils and blow drying it with a paddle brush makes a real difference in how tangled it gets.
Try adding apple cider vinegar (organic) to your hair washing routine (there are many videos on this topic). It makes my hair nice and soft. Also, try braiding it. It REALLY keeps my hair from getting tangled. If I put my hair up in a ponytail, it gets tangled. If in braids, it doesn't!
This is such high quality content. Thank you for teaching us fine haired girls your ways!
I've learned so much about how to take care of/style my hair from you over the last couple of years. Thank you. And after joining the braidaholic nation I've saved my length from the sweltering heat of summer and the urge to cut it all off and go to a pixie cut again
I’m so grateful to have found your channel! My long hair was effectively a curtain, sheet- if you will- of hair so i cut it into a lob for style- now I see a way out 🙌
Yessssss! Thank you so much. You are clear, straight to the point. I am one of those "virgin hair" ladies and your tip about mousse has proved a game changer. Now my curls actually last all day (ok they turn to soft waves but it's an amazing result for me 😁).
"Damage is actually your friend" OMG everything you said is too real. Definitely have dyed my hair to avoid washing it rather than for color. Word for word, everything you said describes my fine hair journey. Thank you for posting a real, true video for this hair type. It's rare in the TH-cam world.
Why haven't you made this video before. This describes my hair to a t and now I finally have tips to deal with it. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!
Haha! I have no idea!! I'm glad it helps!
@@kayleymelissa Thank you so much!
I remember my hairdo for prom, my hairstylist put so much hairspray on my curls (thin hair) that when I arrived at the location my hair was completely flat and stiff, so I really feel your advice on mousse before hairspray!
LOVE THIS!!! Kayley, can you also please make a video on how to take care of your blonde (keep it from turning rusty yellow) etc? That would be so helpful for so many people!
Me: Why am I watching this? I have thick curly hair?
Oh, wait...I LOVE Kayley Melissa 🙌
Same haha 💕
Hahah yesssss
Same but mine are mostly wavy
Same here! :)
Literally me lol
Oh hey I left a comment on one of your recent videos asking about fine hair! Thank you for listening to your subscribers!
I have virgin, untreated hair, and what you are saying is SO TRUE! My hair does not keep a curl at all! I have naturally straight hair and used to have waist-length hair until very recently, and I basically gave up on curling because it always fell so quickly!
That is why I do perms
Loved this video!!
I agree with other comments, I would love to see a part two to this video, where you show us your favorite products for your hair!! Like;
•What oils you use/recommend for your ends
•Your favorite styling tools
•All your favorite types of dry shampoo/leave in conditioner/mousse etc.
Something like that would be amazing 😊💕
This was super helpful! I’ve struggled with my long flat hair my whole life!
I love how in depth you go into everything in your videos! So helpful!
Thank you from one fine haired lady to another!! Great tips!!
Omgggg besides being incredibly sweet your tips are the absolute best. The whole oily roots with dry frizzy split endings is the story of my life
Girl you have brought this lady's fine, flat (yet super thick) hair to life just by watching your videos over the years but this one was EXTRA helpful. Really does a great job of breaking down what you do to your hair to come up with your style (that I have been desperately trying to recreate - getting there haha). I am with everyone saying we want a product haul/recommendation video though. BTW, I did not know that color treated hair was such a great repellent of the whole grease situation...I just always assumed that my hair looked worse because my roots were growing out, not because the grease holds better to unbleached hair. Definitely validates my frustration with my hair when it's due for a touch up. 😜 Love your stuff and just love you in general!! Keep being amazing!! And if you could post some more bridal hair tutorials l would love you forever (my bestie is getting married in November and I'm her MOH and we are trying to figure out styles for all the girls 😳 #allthefloofybraids)
Definitely wanna try these hacks, finally some one understands what I’ve been dealing with for almost 25 years lol ! Thanks girl! ❤️
Try 60 years!
Hey Kayley. could you do a video talking about current favorites? like different shampoos and everything you use to get your hair perfect. thanks
Can we please get a tutorial for the mousse to curls with hot tool. I cannot for the life of me get anything to curl my fine straight hair and it is killing me.
I feel you. Even my hairdresser was surprised at how little curls stay in my hair.
I feel you. Hairdressers are always so full of themselves when I tell them "oh no don't bother, the waves won't stay anyway" after they offered to style my hair following the haircut. They tell me stuff like "so far I curled every head" and I just give in and watch them struggle. You can always tell when they're getting frustrated because it's not working and they're spending way too much time on this, they become silent and glimpse at the watch :D
Yay! The Queen has risen
Hahah 👼
Eva Fiskeman you commented third on this video!!! CONGRATS!!!!!
this video is a blessing for me. Knowledge I wish I had years ago.
Please please do a video covering your fave products for fine hair that you mentioned!!!!
Hi can we get a PART 2? Drugstore products for fine hair AND a video showing how effective mousse is over hairspray! thankss! GREAT VIDEO!:D. this is SOOOOO HELPFUL ,YOU HAVE NO IDEA KAYLEY!
Thank you for the awesome hair tips! I donate my hair and your helpful tips on keeping hair damage free are awesome! Thank you!
This video was extremely helpful, thank you!
I love your cheerful personality :)
Would you make a video on pomade?
The only time I ever see it is in the men's section and have no idea what it could do for the texture of long fine curled hair.
Poorstargazer23 Kayley’s recommendations got me into using Kristin Ess products (found at Target) and there are two great pomades from that brand that I use a lot! I recommend their water-based pomade for adding texture and hold to styles, and their shine pomade for taming baby hairs and flyaways. If you want to see them in action definitely check out Kayley’s Kristin Ess reviews! Hope this helped :)
Girl, where were these tips when I was in high school lol I'm 33 and just learning about all these things and how to style my fine straight hair. I'm so glad I've come across your channel and how to better deal with my hair. I've always struggled with keeping a curl in my hair and back in like middle/high school and if I wanted to curl my hair for whatever reason, I would douse my hair in hairspray. So I'm going to try using mouse. Thank you for all your tips!
The struggle of when you have this hair type and you also never learned how to style your hair so you just give up and let the hair win.
OMG! Someone else who “damages” their hair for the texture change so that you don’t have to shampoo as often! I get a curly perm in my hair every 8 months or so . . . I not only get the curls but the courser, slightly damaged hair from the perm lets me go several days before washing. It’s a miracle!
Wonderful tips, thank you :) I love your bubbly nature, it’s so lovely to listen to you!
I have fine hair and I also have very thin hair and it’s not thick at all, so it does hold curls very well
Love the video! Could you recommend a mousse to use ? X
Τι
I second this request!!! So far I have found Kenra Volume Mousse Extra and also Bumble and Bumble Styling Creme (works as a mousse when used with heat; more like a gel when used without heat) :)
Great tips, really resonated with me, excited to give them a go
This video is so helpful for my fine, straight hair! Could you do an updated video? Also, would love your suggestion on both high end and drugstore products to help fine hair. Thanks!
fine-haired lovelies: not your mother’s entire beach babe line is AMAZING!!! i’m a fine-haired lady with anemia and this line is a lifesaver!!!!
Thank you so much for this!! I have always been struggling with my fine hair. It never holds a style and my boss actually thought I wasn't brushing my hair because of how frizzy it gets... it always seemed as though it would never look decent unless I went to a salon every freaking day... thank you so much for these tips!
We literally have the same hair and during the time when I highlighted my hair blonde, my hair life was so much simpler! But it’s so expensive that I grew it out and now I once again have the shiniest, finest, straightest, silkiest, flattest hair in the history of the world 😭. It’s so unfortunate that something that is so helpful to my hair really has to be done by a professional to look good.
I have super fine natural dark blonde hair which used to be platinum blonde. I stopped bleaching my hair because the chemicals were making it thin on top and I was scared. I’m always looking for ways to add more volume to my hair. I just read on here that a blunt haircut is good. I will ask for it next time I go to the salon.
This is great advice for people with this type of hair like myself! I can confirm that these techniques will work! No hair stylist has been able to help me and it took years for me to discover these things on my own. You have saved young people with this hair type years of struggling and disappointment. There is just one other thing that I have learned for keeping my hair curled. Use setting lotion and steam rollers. Any other method just falls out in about 10 mins or less. I did learn one thing from your video and that is the advice about curling your hair before doing a voluminous braid. I was unsuccessful when I tried this type of braid before. So, I'll try your advice. Thank you!
I’m 56. I was in high school 1980-1984 when hair was BIG. No mine! So oily I used baby powder halfway through the day (dry shampoo didn’t exist)! I only stopped washing it every day once I found good dry shampoos a few years ago. I thought I was alone! Over 500 comments from others struggling with this hair is amazing to me! Thank you for this! 💙
I watched this on saturday and dug out an old can of moose on Sunday, curled my hair and wow. It started a little 80s (barrel might have been too small!) but I still have nice curls today which for my straight af hair has never happened before! Thanks for this video!
Thank you!!! This was much needed. My hair is the virgin kind...but mostly because I gave up on it. This might get me back into styling it.
Hello Melissa!🌻 I am new here, love your tips-thank you! I always had normal hair, but I noticed a few years ago that they became much thinner and regular hair styles doesn't look the same anymore. I don't use a dry shampoo, because of the problems it creates for your roots, it's hard to remove that build up and your hair just slow down with the growth as well.
I have bought a Bumble and bumble thickening go big treatment. 🙌 Someone recommend me here on TH-cam and I didn't really believed that it can make any noticable change, but I bought it anyway, because nothing else works. OMG! Once I put it for the first time on my dry hair, it didn't made a huge difference, but when I put it on wet hair and dry it with the hair dryer upside down-my hair tripled for sure! 💁I had that much hair only when I was a teenager... I really recommend it-there is nothing better in my opinion. No hair spray, no mouse, no volumizing shampoos helped me-hair looked more thin and greasy. Rice water creates volume as well, it might be because it drys that natural hair grease a little bit and hair looks much more separated naturally. If you have very dry hair ends I wouldn't recommend it, your hair will be more dry and frizzy that already is.🤓
My hair looks exactly the way yours did in high school! This was the most helpful hair tutorial I ever watched. I have to change out pretty much every product I use, haha.
I always get so excited when she uploads and this video is what I needed ❤️❤️
This is going to be so helpful for me as this is my hair all over!
I have never had my hair dyed/ bleached for more than 20 years of my life because my hair is super fine and thick and I just don’t want to damage it although there’s a color I’ve always wanted to try. But after this, I’m going to to do. Thanks Kayley 🥺
what do you recommend doing with your fine hair when you sleep? do you recommend putting it in a bun or leaving it down?
I leave my hair down. I noticed if I leave it in a braid/ponytail/bun etc when I sleep it gets super tangled.
I always bun mine at the nape of my neck and it comes out nice and wavy in the morning!
Try braiding your hair. I prefer pigtailed braids because they're more comfortable when resting my head back. I find that braids make my hair less tangled. I don't like the waves I get from the braids but maybe you will!
I twist my hair and put in a bun semi wet. When I take it down I have wave/ curls that give a lot of volume to my hair. I have fine straight hair. Sometimes the curls come out and I can tousle them and go or it just gives me the volume I need and I curl it . Mainly it gives lots of volume every time.
I always put it in a bun, or if I want it's wavy the next day I braid it when wet (I find Dutch braids work better as they're tighter).
Any time I leave it out I always get bad kinked bedhair on one side of my head that just won't go away
I started growing my hair out and it is truly like my oily hair from high school came back. It lasted a long two months before I got highlights. It solves more of my problems than it makes.
I needed this video!
Also, CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW BEAUTIFUL, HEALTHY AND FLUSH YOU LOOK?! Ughhhhh😍😍😍
Very interesting! I also just realised that damage is your friend.. I was OBSESSED with healthy hair but now I finally broke free and got my highlights again, so happy! It would be very interesting to talk a bit about cuts, I struggle with heaviness or with weird shapes with certain lengths and layers
this is literally my new favorite video on TH-cam!
I used to have very oily hair and had to wash it almost everyday, I ended up spending a whole summer only washing my hair with water (sounds crazy I know), scalp massages, and a boar bristle brush theres vids on it, and it has been so helpful, and for a bit it was greasy (why i did it over the summer) but it made my hair so much healthier and it hasnt been greasy since ( i started using shampoo and conditioner again) definitely recommend if you can get yourself through the greasy stage (hats, constarch/cocoa powder, and scarves are your best friend!)
So helpful for us fine-haired gals. Thank you! Also, loving your eye makeup here - what product are you wearing?
Yes please suggest a mousse! Thanks! Loved this!
this video was super helpful! love to see a part 2!
This is so helpful!! I have fine, straight, virgin, healthy hair (I know, poor me) and I never can get my hair to do anything so I can't wait to try these!
Very helpful video can you please do a video on your favorite hair care products and also let us know what thermal protectant you like because the ones I have used are too heavy but I do need it because my hair is damaged. Thanks luv!
Go watch a video from milabu.
It's called does heat protectant work
In this video your eyes looked like liquid silver! So beautiful! And thanks for the fine hair tips. I'm forever desperate for help with my super fine hair!
One more tip I have, since I have super fine straight hair, is using clip in or tape in extensions. When I started using extensions it helped my hair stayed curled. I assume its bc the extensions are meant to hold different styles that my hair just kind of followed suit.
Yay!! I love you and all of your tips!!!! Thank you!
I love your personality, always lifts my mood up 🙃🙂
great video! fist one i found that helps me with the mistakes i was making and even with the things i was doing right. Nice tips and extra info to.xx
Absolutely life changing
OMG THE VIDEO IVE BEEN WANTING ALL MY LIFE
‘My hair was heavy, flat, and oily’ STORY OF MY LIFE! This was so helpful. My hair is thick in terms of volume I have a lot, but fine in terms of texture and I never know what to do with it
I have discovered H&M dry shampoo (the pink one) and it is so texturizing/volumizing!
Will have a go HM dry shampoo
Suuuper helpful video! My hair is hip length, virgin, undamaged and fine and I struggle with exactly what you're talking about.
My one question is: is heatless curling more effective than doing it with heat? What products should I use with heatless curling and not getting my hair crunchy/ unmanageable, matted and impossible to comb out afterwards! Maybe you could get a longhair model and curl their hair? That would be great (I volunteer! 😄) Also my wedding is coming up so these tips are much appreciated
Another product that has really helped me keep a curl is setting lotion. You can get it at Sally's for very cheap, but I find that my curls last for days and days if I use setting lotion.
Thanks for the tip about setting lotion. I will look for it in the store.
Your eyebrows are AMAZING today 😍
Omg now I finally understand why fluffing out my braids never looks the way it does in the TH-cam videos👍🏼😄
Elske Zwart jenna marbles would love this tip
This is so helpful, thanks. My hair is impossible to curl, or get any volume in, and I never considered it was because my hair is too healthy!
Thaaanks for this video, you juste explained everything about my fine hair!! I'll try some tips in the next days 👍
Can't wait for next week's video!!
This video saved my life...no cap 🧢
The brand "system professional" volume line, is a GAME CHANGER for fine oily straight longer hair! I've been using it for 5 months now, and my hair has never looked better! You only use a very small amount, dime size, for medium/long hair of shampoo. I have to wash my hair 5 times a week, because of gym. And do the hair mask once a week, to once every 2 weeks. And use the mousse after every shower. The mousse us actually a conditioner. It is a little pricey, and the bottles are small. But like I said, a little goes a very very long way. I learned the hard way the first use and spent 5 min trying to get all the product out. Haha. One bottle of shampoo lasted me 4 months. And I am still on my first tub of hair mask, 5 months in. The areolifter(mousse) lasts about 3/4 months depending if used after every shower, etc. But total game changer! I get it from my stylist, but I believe it is available at Ulta now. 😁
