These videos are so unique and informative because Aly gives advice on how every individual person can look their best, with explanations for why things look a certain way and how the shapes are perceived. Not once have I seen her advertising a product or brand. Most beauty channels these days are built around reviewing hundreds of skin/hair/makeup products and comparing them, with very little focus on how to optimize the right types for every person's face or body. This channel is amazing, other beauty vloggers should take notes.
I absolutely agree. I always walk away learning something new and positive about how i can accentuate my face in the best way, in proportion to my body.
This woman is a freaking genius! I have never read or heard such detailed well explained and generally not well-known advice. I find her advice realistic and doable. I am definitely going to apply it.
From a former layered pixie to a chin-length bob, my vertical line, volume - after following your cutting tutorial, and face frame have all come together as pure artistry. I now see my face as beautiful.
My trick, put on a wig. I've struggled with thin hair due to medical reasons ever since my teens. Its not a problem that's going away soon. Wigs do wonders for my self confidence.
can you please recommend some wig brands? I have never purchased a wig, let alone getting it online. Not sure what specs to check. Please and thank you.
@@ASMRyouVEGANyet I just bought my first full wig after wearing toppers for 4 years . It takes some time to see myself in much more hair than I m used to having. My husband land my daughters .like it that helps me very much!😁
When ever I start growing out my hair it starts to look thinner. After some time, I always come back to the short bob and each time its cut, I get the most compliments.
I think for those who have very thin, straight hair, vintage curling methods such as rollers might be helpful. Done right, they can create an insane amount of volume, and unlike heat curls they tend not to fall during the day and they definitely don't flatten out easily. I have very thick hair so I can't say for sure, but I've seen it work on others.
You are absolutely right. Thank you very much for the reminder, I totally forgot about that. Just found my old velcros and will roll at least my crown hair in the morning before going to work.
One of the biggest things I've learned from having thin hair is the importance of keeping it as healthy as possible. Not brushing it when wet, not using heat, finding the most light-weight all-in-one hair serums, customizing a perfect volumizing routine including dry shampoo, optimizing my ingredient lists for minimum buildup (sulfate-free, paraben-free, are usually my only priorities, I've seen a noticeable difference in my hair, not everyone has the same experience and for some hair types sulfates can actually be beneficial but for my fine hair that's thin, oily roots but dry scalp and dry ends, this is what works best for me.)
@@ASMRyouVEGANyet I'm truly sorry to hear that, I know that sometimes no matter what the regimen, thin hair has a way of prevailing no matter what. I have a friend who has insanely thin hair, her scalp is always visible, and has an extremely oily scalp to the point that she could be out of the shower and by the time it dries it's oily again. There is no salvaging it. So I know how bad it can be.
I saw a girl who couldn’t figure out why her hair looked so thin. It was half way down her back and didn’t look good, just straggly. She hadn’t had a trim in years, so Aly’s point 1 was exactly right. So I brush out her hair and go to separate it at the back of her head for trimming and found that about 1/2 way up, she had a whole other layer...underneath. Don’t know what made me ask because I’d never seen it before, but I asked if she wore a ponytail. She said she did, every day to keep her hair out of her face while she worked. So I’m adding: if you have thin hair, watch out for rubber bands. The whole lower half of her hair in the back had broken off right where the rubber band/pony holder was worn. She got a trim, quit wearing ponytails every day and within a couple of months it looked totally different.
I don't have breakage like that but because of work I wear my hair tied up every single day otherwise it gets in the way and it's in my face and I get all hot and sweaty so now I'm worried after reading your comment LOL. What should I do because there's no way I can work with my hair down oh, it would make me way too hot and get in the way cuz it's like chest-length 😭
@@Harlow_Khmer I get it! Hair in my eyes, and brushing it OUT of my eyes all day is the worst! I look down a lot daily, so I feel ya. I'd say, anything but a rubber band or the like. Can you barrette it up, or put it in a braid? It wouldn't hurt to wear a pony once in awhile just not always in the same place. It looked like she wore hers in the same place every day, just habit and muscle memory, you know? If you can, just change it up, so the stress on your hair isn't in the same place every day.
@@eliseharrison7850 I bought that pony o hair time thingy and I always see ad for on social media and while it works somewhat it doesn't hold the ponytail in place like how they claim and it'll eventually slip out
I had the same issue until I switched to bun pins. Never thought they would work on my hair buy they do and it’s made a massive difference. I take them out and don’t lose a single strand. And then minimal loss when brushing.
Truths being told! I always try to grow my hair but when it reaches the shoulder area I get annoyed and end up cutting it short again. Now I know why! Thank you!
I've had thinning hair for quite some time now and I decided to follow your advice and I got my blonde ombre dyed dark brown and got a blunt cut, and I can honestly say my hair looks so much thicker and healthier and I'm so happy with the results. Thank you Aly!
Thank you!!! I feel so vindicated! If I had a nickel for every time I’ve tried to explain to a hairdresser that I absolutely do not need my hair or ends thinned, I’d have at least a free haircut!

Right! I have to specifically tell them and remind them throughout the entire haircut do not send my hair out do not thin the ends out! Because if I don't they definitely will 😭
OMG - this is the same problem I have. I cannot get a blunt EVEN haircut!

I've started putting my hair in a loose ponytail on the very top of my head to keep my hair from getting all messed up during sleep. As a side-effect, I've noticed my hair is more voluminous in the morning because it was on top of my head all night. This may be a tip, though I have a different hair-type and can't predict whether, how, or for how long this method would affect thinner, sleek hair.
I do this too. I do my bun right on top of my head, then my hair will fall more beautifully. But I guess everyone has to find out the best sleeping style themselves!
I used to do the same when my straight, sleek hair was medium long. If I was going out, I would wash my hair in the morning, wear it up in a ponytail all day, then do a little styling before going out. It's a lazy way, instead of using big curlers to give root lift! It doesn't really work now that my hair is very long.
I do the same thing every night except I put it in a high bun, not loose but not too tight. And it makes it pretty voluminous & big waves during the day. I have very thin hair.
Nice tips, but please do not mix up "thin" and "fine" hair. Thin hair means that you have sparse hair, less hair than average. The individual strands might thick or fine, but you have fewer strands than normal. Fine hair means the individual strands are fine aka not thick, but people with fine hair often have more hair aka strands than people with thick strands. The problem with fine hair though is that it is very soft and does therefore not hold volume well. The worst case is to have thin and fine hair...in any case, for each situation the solution is different...
Another worse case scenario here. Thin, fine and increasingly falling out. I have no colour in my hair now and I just can't make any decisions. My confidence is at all time low I so I need others to tell me lol
Aly, everything you said about thin hair is truth. I agree with you, that the shape, colour, darker roots of your hair and thicker, darker eyebrows make really a difference. Your advices are so clever. Thank you!
I have fine, thin, straight, brown-black Asian hair all my life and have always wondered what I can do besides the hair donuts or clip/pinned on hair braids (of my own or fake hair) - for some reason none of those solutions are appealing to me. Thank you so much for all your great advice! 💕🤗
after COVID, my Thin hair coming out in brush like 5 months worth. Wash daily stopped, 1/week now. Trimmed ends to blunt - helped hide losses, less to catch on in brush and come out. Went back to long bangs. Your Tips helped a lot on the cut, already looks way better. Thanks! Covid hair fall out is a real thing.
One thing that wasn't mentioned is if you have thin and soft hair that is straight but has a bit of a curly tendency, if you cut it shorter and add some layers it can get really curly (especially if you scrunch it!!)
But layers in thin hair is a big no no. Also she probably didn’t say that because she was talking about what to do with the kind of hair you already have in terms of the cut and not really in depth about styling techniques- I bet she has another video on that though!
My hair is like that which is why I love some layering, it gives it a little more volume boosted by the slight curl brought out by airdrying or product.
My hair is sooo thin I really cry every time i look at myself in mirror I tried EVERYTHING to make it thicker so now im here to cut it cuz im so tired of it 😔😔
I washed my hair with egg yolk and water only for a year - it fixed my scalp and i stopped loosing hair. Egg yolk binds to fat and helps to remove it. No shampoo is needed. Later i got lazy and now am using very good shampoo with minimal chemicals. But mostly important - never keep shampoo in my hair for longer than few seconds. Pretty much wash it out immediately as i get it on top of my head- this prevents scalp from drying - i stopped loosing hair. No conditioner needed. You can read about both techniques online. It works. At 37 i have best soft, thin hair ever. Lots of volume and shine. Growing fast too.
I love it how you said that some women can be REALLY hairy, because I am. :) And it's like hairiness is seen as such a no-no on women that even in shaving commercials the women's legs don't have any hair. It feels like, wow, is being hairy so shameful that you can't even show a hairy female leg on tv? I'll show you a hairy leg, people! :D
My hair and my daughters hair has started to fall out since having Covid! I recently got my hair cut into a short lob and this has made it much thicker looking
My whole life I’ve cut my hair short thinking thin hair can’t be long.. Then I grew my hair long.. and I have so much more hair to work with. Brushed out curls look BOMB on thin hair. P.s. if you grow your hair long, do a blunt cut with very VERY fine layers towards the back of your head. No layers in the front (usually the thinnest.)
Any idea how to do it at home or if I want to tell a stylist what do I say. I want long hair but it's thin. Currently my hair are below my shoulder blades. Almost mid back length.
@@brookehawkins5764 tysm. I do trim the ends a bit. I wanted to ask how to do the fine layers to the back of the head like you mentioned..I had a very bad experience with a hair dresser and I haven't gone to any for more than a year now. I want to do this at home.
Your hair may well be wavy instead of straight. 2B waves are less evident as 2A and 2C sometimes. I'm saying that as someone who thought my hair was straight because many wavies aren't taught how to appropriately take care of the curl pattern. For those who are or suspect they're wavy and want some resources, I'd suggest Swavy Wavy Courtney, Gena Marie, Afope Atoyebi, The Clean Curl, Brooke Newmaster, and Manes by Mell.
you have to make a product look good. no one wants to look at flaws. you have to sell them beauty to trick them into thinking they can achieve it. its like that for everything clothes make up anything where success is portrayed if you buy their product. they are just selling you an idea. if you want to see an old model with fine hair, it has to be the one in your mirror.
YES ALY THANK YOU SO MUCH! ❤❤ My hair is thin af and these tips are lifesavers. Not that I can go to the salon rn, we're in full lockdown here. 😷 I'll save this for next year. Stay safe everyone! 🙏❤🇳🇱
What was also a game changer for me: sleeping with a silk cap! Stopped the breakage and it isn´t that dry anymore because over night there is a lot of friction between the hair and pillow.
@@Lorigirlable I got these on this website: www.charlietemple.com/de-de/brillen-grande-rotondo-domino-royal-signature-collection They look almost the same as hers 😄
instead of dry shampoo you can fill rice flour, which is very light, in a powder dispenser, and pour on your upper head and then rub it in with your head upside down. It is invisible and makes volume.
Omg I'm so happy I found you! 😍😍 Our hair is almost identical in the quality and I've always been super insecure of my hair. Thank you for such a thorough informative video ❤️❤️ Love from Sweden 🇸🇪
I want to say especial thanks for that good English you have. I'm having a really bad time catching up Russian accent (even tho I have one myself) and watching you is just a bliss. Keep up a good work!
My situation is that I have some ever so slight thinning from GI problems (diabetes-related) and with my natural light brown hair, you can see my scalp more b/c of the contrast in color from my scalp to my hair. So I find that when it is heavily highlighted blonde, you can't see through to my scalp as much. Also, the hair shaft is thicker from the bleaching process, so that gives me much more height when I style it vs. my natural where I have no lift. And of course I have it cut to a blunt bob, usually around my chin in length but no longer than to my collar bones. Gosh, I hope that made sense. It's a good formula that I always come back to when I stray a bit.
You're like.... the Neil DeGrasse Tyson of hairstyling. I'm convinced you're the only one who can help, honestly. Or at least point me in the right direction. I have a round face, straight AF hair like the people who asked you the questions. BUT I am very tall and I have wide shoulders and bobs make my shoulders look wider idk what to do help me please. :( My hair length is about 2inches below the collar bone and all the mass is right in that area and I look like I'm balding even though my hair density is very good.
This film is completely made for me. Today I went into pixie haircut and I love it! Thank you Aly for your fantastic job 💖💖💖 Sending love from Warsaw Poland
I would also recommend only using hot scissors when cutting ur hair. Then the ends are sealed and pigments don't fall out, which leaves the ends thin. Also always using Olaplex when dyeing or bleaching the hair. Additionally a perm could help.
Pretty sure pigment doesn't 'fall' out. Heat would damage the ends immediately? And is illogical, anything done with heat can be undone with water. How does loss of pigment affect hair density? I don't understand what you're saying. Grey haired people don't suddenly get thin hair. The two aren't related?
Love this! I’m blonde ( and gray) lol, love these tips! I have VERY straight and fine hair. I wish I could have dark roots, but I think too much gray coming in, but good tips. Very positive!
Very well-explained, I was once in that horrible stage of growing out my hair and my ends were curling upwards and they looked very thin and I also had layers which only made things worse. I go for only blunt cuts now but I was also thinking about forehead bangs and thanks for clarifying that it might not be the best option. Very correct about how it gets oily all the time, my friend has already warned me about it. But I am definitely going for some face-framing bangs as explained at tip #5.
Thank you so much for sharing this... I have baby fine hair and I need all the help I can find...and in these day's I do what I can myself to save 💰 I have also noticed that since I hit the big 5 0, my hair has changed...like it's fine and oily, but the ends can be frizzy, so I'm careful to apply a leave in just on the end's.. Thanks again and keep sharing your video's! Have a wonderful day!
BLESS YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. wish I knew this when I was in my late teens - i always opted for a blunt fringe and drastic A-line bob and my hair always looked thin, and I already had very little hair already. i've been wearing a pixie for years now because it's my preferred look and maintenance, but i'm trying to grow it out into a bob. blunt bob with no bangs it is :-) thank you again for this well made video with very useful tips!
Great video! You seems so professional. Some girls get on here and we have to hear about their whole lives and what’s for dinner and their pets too. You are great you seem like you were born for this type work.you are a natural and get right down to business. Thanks for the great professionalism.
I have dreadlocks for the last 6yrs. I plan to comb them out later this year and I'm SO scared it's going to be super thin and scraggy so I'm saving this video just incase
I literally left the video I was watching to watch yours and I don't regret it 🤣🤣🤣 I'm also using your videos to improve my english :D Hugs from Brazil!!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I've just discovered your channel. I was So impressed with the content of this video. It was very informative. You've got a very unique perspective with practical ideas that we can use right away. Thank You 💞
I just bought some brow mascara and it makes such a difference, I love it. Thankfully I have naturally thick hair, but the skin, not so great haha, I need more help with that. I think I liked your blonde hair more than the platinum, Aly, altough platinum looks very interesting with your nice tan :)
I have super thin, not too dense, flat hair, small hair area and I feel like there is no hope for me 😭 Only a perm can give me some volume but my hair is so destroyed after... Or when I style them curly but it takes a lot of time. I tried every haircut and my hair just always looks flat and thin, no matter how hard I try to style it for some volume. It's very healthy btw just so thin.
I feel ya there. I’ve been learning to embrace my hair even though it’s not the “ideal” hair type. Who really cares, honestly? Unplugging from image-based social media has really helped my body image and overall satisfaction in my life (I’m 25 btw).
@@Becky0494 hi, I'm 26 but I feel it difficult to just stop to care. Hair is really my biggest issue, I accept the rest of my looks pretty much. Unfortunately people can give you comments like "your hair is weird" or "your hair is so thin" which doesn't help.
Maybe short hair would suit you. Like Alexandra Anele's hair (youtuber). It looks sexy on her and her hair is very thin. Then you wouldn't have to fight it anymore, just cut it regularly and style it everyday. With a short hairstyle you can style it differently everyday and have fun with it. Not every woman have to have long hair, or looks good in it. I know it's hard to let go of long hair (I mean below the shoulders or more) if you've always had it long but if it doesn't look good anymore and ages you then it's time for a change. And if it's not running in your family to have thin hair then maybe you lack of nutrition like protein or iron. So while you eat more healthy (for your body, everybody is different) and cut your hair short, you let it also rest from ponytails, buns and all other stuff that cause brakeage. And maybe in time you get a thicker hair that looks more healthy :)
@@tessltaekook8501 yeah I have a short bob right now but even if I try to style it the hair falls flat after just some minutes and gives an impression as if there was almost no hair at all -.- even my hairdresser can do nothing about, I guess that's how my hair just is. I'm affraid I wouldn't look good in a super short hair, you need to have a great bone structure for that in my opinion. Also I'm a bit muscular so I would be affraid to look too boyish. I do eat healthy it's just in my family genes, extremely delicate slavic hair. Perhaps some day I would give a very short cut a go but I'm not sure.
I really noticed a difference when using coconut oil in my hair and i would apply just a bit, I would take hot/warm showers and the steam from the shower really helped the coconut oil to penetrate my hair and I would not actually wash my hair with shampoo for weeks at a time until i felt it really needed it and I wouldn't add anymore coconut oil until i shampooed my hair. I did nothing else with my hair, no conditioner, no products, no styling tools and I was amazed because my hair looked way thicker and healthier - holding great volume just shaping it with a comb after a shower and fluffing it upwards with my fingers. Not sure how this would work with long hair but it works great for short to half neck length hair.
I too have stopped using shampoo unless I've gotten very sweaty or been in a lot of dust (like cleaning out a dusty garage). My fine hair now actually has a wave and some body and it doesn't snarl, I just rinse it really well about twice a week. This has made a huge difference for me. It is thinnest on the sides but from the ears back is a normal thickness although still fine. I cut curtain bangs, blended into the sides and it is now down to my waist in the back. But I'm trying to decide whether to add some color/highlights - the ends are a nice dark golden brownish but the top part is darker brown (I've always been golden until I stopped highlights in my 50s). The dark top seems to weigh me down, and I am 5'1" so don't need to look shorter. I just turned 70 and would love some hair advice! I'm interested in a choppy lob but don't know if I have enough hair for that!
No other products either, no conditioners, etc. Every few months I pour some diluted vinegar through it because our water here is so full of minerals and my hair seems to like that too.
Thanks for the tips. .This video just helped me decide that my long term goal is to have one blunt length to at least below the collarbone when I walk out of the salon, and I'll let it grow to armpit length - maybe. I'm typical of the type of woman, of SE Asian descent, whose hair grows sparse but fast! I have a flat head, coarse straight hair, and a round face and the color is naturally off-black, it looks thicker with lighter top highlights that start at least 1cm from my scalp. My stylist knew not to start the highlights at my scalp, even though I forgot to tell her. My hair is in a very hard stage and slightly longer in the front, which I like, but I have future plans in kitchen work, so I need to be able to easily secure my hair away from my face, and NO bangs ever again. Short bobs or anything short around my face, bends in an unattractive kink , because of my glasses, when its loose.
Could you do a sequel for haircuts that will improve hair area?? I have fine hair but want a layered cut Bc when my hair is all one length it is soooo flat to my head and looks greasy and awful. please help!

This may be a tip, though I have a different hair-type and can't predict whether, how, or for how long this method would affect thinner, sleek hair.
I do this too. I do my bun right on top of my head, then my hair will fall more beautifully. But I guess everyone has to find out the best sleeping style themselves!
I used to do the same when my straight, sleek hair was medium long. If I was going out, I would wash my hair in the morning, wear it up in a ponytail all day, then do a little styling before going out. It's a lazy way, instead of using big curlers to give root lift!
It doesn't really work now that my hair is very long.
I do this too but it doesn’t really help my fine thin hair much after the first 15 minutes in the morning :(
I do the same thing every night except I put it in a high bun, not loose but not too tight. And it makes it pretty voluminous & big waves during the day. I have very thin hair.
Nice tips, but please do not mix up "thin" and "fine" hair. Thin hair means that you have sparse hair, less hair than average. The individual strands might thick or fine, but you have fewer strands than normal. Fine hair means the individual strands are fine aka not thick, but people with fine hair often have more hair aka strands than people with thick strands. The problem with fine hair though is that it is very soft and does therefore not hold volume well. The worst case is to have thin and fine hair...in any case, for each situation the solution is different...
“Worst case”. Thanks for pointing that out for us fine, thin haired ladies.
Magic Style Haarflecht-Atelier, thanks for explanation! Fine and soft hair that does not hold volume - exactly my problem!
Mine is extremely fine but holds curl well.
Another worse case scenario here. Thin, fine and increasingly falling out. I have no colour in my hair now and I just can't make any decisions. My confidence is at all time low I so I need others to tell me lol
@@michelleb5184 haha same I have thin fine hair 😂
Why am I watching this at 5AM when I have to be up in 3 hours?? 🤦🏻♀️
That's how good it is. Thank you Aly for all you do 💖
Aly, everything you said about thin hair is truth. I agree with you, that the shape, colour, darker roots of your hair and thicker, darker eyebrows make really a difference. Your advices are so clever. Thank you!
I have fine, thin, straight, brown-black Asian hair all my life and have always wondered what I can do besides the hair donuts or clip/pinned on hair braids (of my own or fake hair) - for some reason none of those solutions are appealing to me. Thank you so much for all your great advice! 💕🤗
Omg this is my question 😭 thank you so much Aly ❤️
after COVID, my Thin hair coming out in brush like 5 months worth. Wash daily stopped, 1/week now. Trimmed ends to blunt - helped hide losses, less to catch on in brush and come out. Went back to long bangs. Your Tips helped a lot on the cut, already looks way better. Thanks! Covid hair fall out is a real thing.
Same here. I have started wearing wigs.
One thing that wasn't mentioned is if you have thin and soft hair that is straight but has a bit of a curly tendency, if you cut it shorter and add some layers it can get really curly (especially if you scrunch it!!)
But layers in thin hair is a big no no. Also she probably didn’t say that because she was talking about what to do with the kind of hair you already have in terms of the cut and not really in depth about styling techniques- I bet she has another video on that though!
Yes i have this but yes layers make thin hair break earlier but with care I dont think its a no go to have layers
My hair is like that which is why I love some layering, it gives it a little more volume boosted by the slight curl brought out by airdrying or product.
My hair is sooo thin I really cry every time i look at myself in mirror I tried EVERYTHING to make it thicker so now im here to cut it cuz im so tired of it 😔😔
I’m feeling the exact same way I hate my hair I’ve also been told I have alopecia from a doctor he said you can’t do anything about it 🙄
I washed my hair with egg yolk and water only for a year - it fixed my scalp and i stopped loosing hair. Egg yolk binds to fat and helps to remove it. No shampoo is needed.
Later i got lazy and now am using very good shampoo with minimal chemicals. But mostly important - never keep shampoo in my hair for longer than few seconds. Pretty much wash it out immediately as i get it on top of my head- this prevents scalp from drying - i stopped loosing hair. No conditioner needed.
You can read about both techniques online. It works. At 37 i have best soft, thin hair ever. Lots of volume and shine. Growing fast too.
@@Julia-nk2gj omg THANK U SO MUCHHH!!!!
Get some extensions put in. Works wonders for thin hair.
if u have the money getting professional extensions to make your hair seem thicker is prob the easiest thing to do
I love it how you said that some women can be REALLY hairy, because I am. :) And it's like hairiness is seen as such a no-no on women that even in shaving commercials the women's legs don't have any hair. It feels like, wow, is being hairy so shameful that you can't even show a hairy female leg on tv? I'll show you a hairy leg, people! :D
Thank you! 🙏 So true.
hahaha... lollll same. fkn scare em all of
My hair and my daughters hair has started to fall out since having Covid! I recently got my hair cut into a short lob and this has made it much thicker looking
My whole life I’ve cut my hair short thinking thin hair can’t be long..
Then I grew my hair long.. and I have so much more hair to work with. Brushed out curls look BOMB on thin hair.
P.s. if you grow your hair long, do a blunt cut with very VERY fine layers towards the back of your head. No layers in the front (usually the thinnest.)
Any idea how to do it at home or if I want to tell a stylist what do I say. I want long hair but it's thin. Currently my hair are below my shoulder blades. Almost mid back length.
Ask for a trim every 3-6 months. Only an inch off. If they don’t respect that I would go somewhere else or learn to do it at home.
@@brookehawkins5764 tysm. I do trim the ends a bit. I wanted to ask how to do the fine layers to the back of the head like you mentioned..I had a very bad experience with a hair dresser and I haven't gone to any for more than a year now. I want to do this at home.
I agree! I don't think short hair looks thicker on everyone, despite how much of a 'rule' it seems to be.
Your hair may well be wavy instead of straight. 2B waves are less evident as 2A and 2C sometimes.
I'm saying that as someone who thought my hair was straight because many wavies aren't taught how to appropriately take care of the curl pattern.
For those who are or suspect they're wavy and want some resources, I'd suggest Swavy Wavy Courtney, Gena Marie, Afope Atoyebi, The Clean Curl, Brooke Newmaster, and Manes by Mell.
Thank you
It would be nice to see models who are older and truly have thin/fine hair.
you have to make a product look good. no one wants to look at flaws. you have to sell them beauty to trick them into thinking they can achieve it. its like that for everything clothes make up anything where success is portrayed if you buy their product. they are just selling you an idea. if you want to see an old model with fine hair, it has to be the one in your mirror.
@@GotoMaki4Micah Wow! Deceptive. I would love to see a Woman with the beauty of age with cosmetics, etc... that claim to be for her. Honestly...
@@ginakelly11 the channel hit and flashy is an older very pretty woman who shows us all kinds of tricks and tips with hair and make up.
YES ALY THANK YOU SO MUCH! ❤❤ My hair is thin af and these tips are lifesavers. Not that I can go to the salon rn, we're in full lockdown here. 😷 I'll save this for next year. Stay safe everyone! 🙏❤🇳🇱
What was also a game changer for me: sleeping with a silk cap! Stopped the breakage and it isn´t that dry anymore because over night there is a lot of friction between the hair and pillow.
Or a silk pillow is good for hair and skin
I have fine hair, and a blunt cut looks really bad. It makes my hair look wider at the bottom compared to the root, making it looks even thinner.
You should try the curly girl method. I was just like you and i realized i actually have wavy hair.
I agree! It def makes it look flatter and also less soft on the face! I’ve tried blunt it just really really doesn’t suit me
THE GLASSES!! GORGE! :)
What brand/style are these?
@@Lorigirlable I got these on this website: www.charlietemple.com/de-de/brillen-grande-rotondo-domino-royal-signature-collection
They look almost the same as hers 😄
instead of dry shampoo you can fill rice flour, which is very light, in a powder dispenser, and pour on your upper head and then rub it in with your head upside down. It is invisible and makes volume.
Rice flour? invisible? thank you I will try. thank you 🙏 you
@@sherrymdsrn your hair will not shine as usual though, because is still a flour, but you can fix it with some parfume, if you wish
Omg I'm so happy I found you! 😍😍 Our hair is almost identical in the quality and I've always been super insecure of my hair. Thank you for such a thorough informative video ❤️❤️
Love from Sweden 🇸🇪
I just realized why my hair is thin but doesn't look like it. I am already doing most of these things, I didn't even know they helped 😅
Using a hairstyle to correct physical features IS the way to go! It can make a huge difference!
I want to say especial thanks for that good English you have. I'm having a really bad time catching up Russian accent (even tho I have one myself) and watching you is just a bliss. Keep up a good work!
My situation is that I have some ever so slight thinning from GI problems (diabetes-related) and with my natural light brown hair, you can see my scalp more b/c of the contrast in color from my scalp to my hair. So I find that when it is heavily highlighted blonde, you can't see through to my scalp as much. Also, the hair shaft is thicker from the bleaching process, so that gives me much more height when I style it vs. my natural where I have no lift. And of course I have it cut to a blunt bob, usually around my chin in length but no longer than to my collar bones. Gosh, I hope that made sense. It's a good formula that I always come back to when I stray a bit.
Wow, the quality of the content is amazing! So thorough! Thanks a lot!
Thank you Aly, the universe put you in front of me, I'm getting my haircut next week, perfect tips and perfect timing. x
The BEST video about thin hair I've ever seen. Learned a lot. Thank you!
Can you do a video on which body/face types would look good with straight brows ?
Great idea ☺!
I love your style thank you so much for the great advice
Thank you!
You're like.... the Neil DeGrasse Tyson of hairstyling. I'm convinced you're the only one who can help, honestly. Or at least point me in the right direction.
I have a round face, straight AF hair like the people who asked you the questions. BUT I am very tall and I have wide shoulders and bobs make my shoulders look wider idk what to do help me please. :( My hair length is about 2inches below the collar bone and all the mass is right in that area and I look like I'm balding even though my hair density is very good.
This film is completely made for me. Today I went into pixie haircut and I love it! Thank you Aly for your fantastic job 💖💖💖 Sending love from Warsaw Poland
I would also recommend only using hot scissors when cutting ur hair. Then the ends are sealed and pigments don't fall out, which leaves the ends thin. Also always using Olaplex when dyeing or bleaching the hair. Additionally a perm could help.
Pretty sure pigment doesn't 'fall' out. Heat would damage the ends immediately? And is illogical, anything done with heat can be undone with water. How does loss of pigment affect hair density?
I don't understand what you're saying. Grey haired people don't suddenly get thin hair. The two aren't related?
Love this! I’m blonde ( and gray) lol, love these tips! I have VERY straight and fine hair.
I wish I could have dark roots, but I think too much gray coming in, but good tips. Very positive!
I would love a curly thin hair and heart shaped face haircut video!!
Very well-explained, I was once in that horrible stage of growing out my hair and my ends were curling upwards and they looked very thin and I also had layers which only made things worse. I go for only blunt cuts now but I was also thinking about forehead bangs and thanks for clarifying that it might not be the best option. Very correct about how it gets oily all the time, my friend has already warned me about it. But I am definitely going for some face-framing bangs as explained at tip #5.
Thank you so much for sharing this... I have baby fine hair and I need all the help I can find...and in these day's I do what I can myself to save 💰 I have also noticed that since I hit the big 5 0, my hair has changed...like it's fine and oily, but the ends can be frizzy, so I'm careful to apply a leave in just on the end's..
Thanks again and keep sharing your video's! Have a wonderful day!
My goodness, you are gorgeous. 🔥 And brilliant. You always give the best beauty and fashion advice.

The most informative video on hair I have ever seen. We should pay the author yall
BLESS YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. wish I knew this when I was in my late teens - i always opted for a blunt fringe and drastic A-line bob and my hair always looked thin, and I already had very little hair already. i've been wearing a pixie for years now because it's my preferred look and maintenance, but i'm trying to grow it out into a bob. blunt bob with no bangs it is :-) thank you again for this well made video with very useful tips!
Great video! You seems so professional. Some girls get on here and we have to hear about their whole lives and what’s for dinner and their pets too. You are great you seem like you were born for this type work.you are a natural and get right down to business. Thanks for the great professionalism.
This was the best guide about thin hair I`ve ever seen. Thank you.
Your good advice is always appreciated.
Ok I just stumbled across your channel and I’m watching my first video. I’m obsessed! 😍
I have dreadlocks for the last 6yrs. I plan to comb them out later this year and I'm SO scared it's going to be super thin and scraggy so I'm saving this video just incase
this is the best video on the internet for this topic. priceless info.
Everytime go to a hairdresser they ALWAYS want to put layers in mine......NO NO AND NO cant understand wtf they want to do it
I have such thin and straight hair....this video really helped me!
I HAVE TO SAY THIS BOB IS MY FAVORITE HAIRSTYLE ON YOU!!!
I literally left the video I was watching to watch yours and I don't regret it 🤣🤣🤣
I'm also using your videos to improve my english :D

Thanks for including people with textured hair (curls, waves)!! ❤
I just bought some brow mascara and it makes such a difference, I love it. Thankfully I have naturally thick hair, but the skin, not so great haha, I need more help with that. I think I liked your blonde hair more than the platinum, Aly, altough platinum looks very interesting with your nice tan :)
Love your glasses Aly 🤓
Just found this page, now she’s the bob whisperer lol!
Just in time for my hair appointment tomorrow!
Excellent knowledge of thin fine hair! Thank you! So glad I found your channel1
I have super thin, not too dense, flat hair, small hair area and I feel like there is no hope for me 😭 Only a perm can give me some volume but my hair is so destroyed after... Or when I style them curly but it takes a lot of time. I tried every haircut and my hair just always looks flat and thin, no matter how hard I try to style it for some volume. It's very healthy btw just so thin.
I feel you
I feel ya there. I’ve been learning to embrace my hair even though it’s not the “ideal” hair type. Who really cares, honestly? Unplugging from image-based social media has really helped my body image and overall satisfaction in my life (I’m 25 btw).
@@Becky0494 hi, I'm 26 but I feel it difficult to just stop to care. Hair is really my biggest issue, I accept the rest of my looks pretty much. Unfortunately people can give you comments like "your hair is weird" or "your hair is so thin" which doesn't help.
Maybe short hair would suit you. Like Alexandra Anele's hair (youtuber). It looks sexy on her and her hair is very thin. Then you wouldn't have to fight it anymore, just cut it regularly and style it everyday. With a short hairstyle you can style it differently everyday and have fun with it. Not every woman have to have long hair, or looks good in it. I know it's hard to let go of long hair (I mean below the shoulders or more) if you've always had it long but if it doesn't look good anymore and ages you then it's time for a change. And if it's not running in your family to have thin hair then maybe you lack of nutrition like protein or iron. So while you eat more healthy (for your body, everybody is different) and cut your hair short, you let it also rest from ponytails, buns and all other stuff that cause brakeage. And maybe in time you get a thicker hair that looks more healthy :)
@@tessltaekook8501 yeah I have a short bob right now but even if I try to style it the hair falls flat after just some minutes and gives an impression as if there was almost no hair at all -.- even my hairdresser can do nothing about, I guess that's how my hair just is. I'm affraid I wouldn't look good in a super short hair, you need to have a great bone structure for that in my opinion. Also I'm a bit muscular so I would be affraid to look too boyish. I do eat healthy it's just in my family genes, extremely delicate slavic hair.
Perhaps some day I would give a very short cut a go but I'm not sure.
Where did u buy ur glasses? They r beautiful! Thanks for this informative video.
You are the most knowledgeable woman in this space, about everything haha, love your style and all your ideas! I don’t say that lightly!
You’re lovely, and appreciate your intent. I hope viewers understand these are of your personal opinion, and not of actual reason why and for.
Such well researched and detailed info. Thanks miss! ❤️✨
Loved your video! Informative and that’s what we looking for when we ready for haircut!
Thank you !
Excellent video, Aly!!! I love how you pronounce "series"!
I was just looking for this! You're a hero 💖
I really need to know WHERE u got those glasses!!!!
these are the best, most unique tips Ive ever heard. Thank you!
Great advice! May I ask where you got your glasses please?
I’d love to know too, I really like the specs she’s wearing this video
It was many years ago - they don't have same ones anymore. But they broke right away - I almost can't wear them!
You can use clip in hair extensions or use a half wig and blend your own hair in.
Love the video- the only tip I don't like is #6. I can't imagine that most people would bleach their hair then add dark roots
I really noticed a difference when using coconut oil in my hair and i would apply just a bit, I would take hot/warm showers and the steam from the shower really helped the coconut oil to penetrate my hair and I would not actually wash my hair with shampoo for weeks at a time until i felt it really needed it and I wouldn't add anymore coconut oil until i shampooed my hair. I did nothing else with my hair, no conditioner, no products, no styling tools and I was amazed because my hair looked way thicker and healthier - holding great volume just shaping it with a comb after a shower and fluffing it upwards with my fingers. Not sure how this would work with long hair but it works great for short to half neck length hair.
I too have stopped using shampoo unless I've gotten very sweaty or been in a lot of dust (like cleaning out a dusty garage). My fine hair now actually has a wave and some body and it doesn't snarl, I just rinse it really well about twice a week. This has made a huge difference for me. It is thinnest on the sides but from the ears back is a normal thickness although still fine. I cut curtain bangs, blended into the sides and it is now down to my waist in the back. But I'm trying to decide whether to add some color/highlights - the ends are a nice dark golden brownish but the top part is darker brown (I've always been golden until I stopped highlights in my 50s). The dark top seems to weigh me down, and I am 5'1" so don't need to look shorter. I just turned 70 and would love some hair advice! I'm interested in a choppy lob but don't know if I have enough hair for that!
No other products either, no conditioners, etc. Every few months I pour some diluted vinegar through it because our water here is so full of minerals and my hair seems to like that too.
very knowledgeable about hair behaviour. No other thin hair advice comes close! Thank you!!
Great video. I have a plan. Brows, blunt cut with just a few crown layers and a balayage. thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for your full explanation and for the pic it is helps 😭😭😭💕💕💕💕💕
Such an informative and helpful video. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the tips. .This video just helped me decide that my long term goal is to have one blunt length to at least below the collarbone when I walk out of the salon, and I'll let it grow to armpit length - maybe. I'm typical of the type of woman, of SE Asian descent, whose hair grows sparse but fast!
I have a flat head, coarse straight hair, and a round face and the color is naturally off-black, it looks thicker with lighter top highlights that start at least 1cm from my scalp. My stylist knew not to start the highlights at my scalp, even though I forgot to tell her.
My hair is in a very hard stage and slightly longer in the front, which I like, but I have future plans in kitchen work, so I need to be able to easily secure my hair away from my face, and NO bangs ever again. Short bobs or anything short around my face, bends in an unattractive kink , because of my glasses, when its loose.
Thank you for your tips! Definitely going to the hairdresser knowing exactly what is going to look good on me now 😅
Could you do a sequel for haircuts that will improve hair area?? I have fine hair but want a layered cut Bc when my hair is all one length it is soooo flat to my head and looks greasy and awful. please help!
What can we do if we have a small hair area, bad hairline and no volume at top?
I’m so happy I found your channel. Thank you for your thorough explanation of things.
this was very interesting AND very well done...I am going to apply your techniques...Thank you ...
