    I have the same issues AND the same thin, fine hair problems because of them. This was quite informative and helpful. I can't use curling irons (and have the burn marks to prove it!) and am only marginal with a round brush and a hair dryer but your "tips" made me feel like I might be able to learn. Thanks!

      John Frieda makes a 1-1/2 inch hot air brush that is awesome. I started with the Revlon One Step which I love, but then I got my hair all cut off and the Revlon styler was too big so I bought the John Frieda. I love it just as much as the Revlon and you could achieve the same look as she does in the video without having to wield a round brush and separate dryer.

    Thank God for dry shampoo! It has made my life easier. At age 72 I finally accepted my fine thin hair and I follow much of the way you do. I have a bob which works for me, try not to shampoo more than twice a week and use my dry shampoo for volume. I really think the fewer shampooing is helping. As a child I only shampooed once a week and had lots of fine hair. It is a pleasure to see someone with my struggles instead of a thick haired woman PrENTENDING to have our type of hair

I've recently have gotten a few monotops that give me the volume and some are human hair and the heat friendly synthetics feel nice and don't look shiny that you can tell

      Carla bobs wife here….I saw a doctor about my hair the shafts of each strand felt stripped and my hair was falling out all over the house. The doctor said I had inherited male pattern baldness from my father and there was little I could do except take hormone therapy or use romaine. I already use vitamin d. I really hate having to spend hours on my hair. I already have to shave my face every day. Does anyone have a reasonable helpful routine that does not require so much time.?

    18 months ago I was loosing hair big time. Frightening. Now I have a lot of healthy hair.
    Once a week I dampen my hair and then massage scalp and hair with a 50/50 mixture of coconut oil and castor oil… leave it for at least an hour and then wash and style. Finally, I sleep with a hair bonnet…

    When you blow dry your hair, perhaps you can put some hair rollers on the The top, and then use the spray. Keep the rollers in for about 45 minutes. It will make your hair look thicker when you take them out.

After washing my hair, I stopt blowdrying my hair, and I stopt using hairsprays for months. I think we have to concider to give our hair some naturel freedom for a few months, without damaging our hair with blow drying and putting other products in our hair. It was my own idea, and my hair looks beautiful now.

    Guaranteed super volume for fine hair - crimping underneath layers, where it cannot be seen. As well as that, I use volume powder at roots, then tease, then setting spray those same layers. The top layer is left straight to smooth over all that work. Takes some practise to get it personalised, but absolute massive volume. And stays that way for days unwashed.

    I'm 55, and have had thinning hair for decades (and I never had super thick hair to begin with) due to too much male hormone...and possibly other issues. Anyway, now during meno, it's suddenly gotten dramatically thinner. I'm freaking out. Like you, I have a lot of thinning in the temples (and for me, also in the crown). I just started on rosemary oil on my head at night as I've seen/read GREAT testimonials from both men and women who need to block DHT in their scalp.

    One thing I just want to add... last year I purchased a "hair topper" (like a partial wig that just snaps on and gives me thicker bangs and crown) and I have gorgeous hair in a second! It's really comfortable too - and unlike a wig, I can wear it all day if I want. I don't use it for regular everyday wear because that's my preference. But on bad hair days and special occasions - I love it!

So if I pull my hair away from my forehead, you can see the no hair part. I used to part my hair to the side but now I can't because of the hair loss. So I have to cover it by putting my hair in the middle. It freaks me out when I'm blowing my hair dry. You do still have hair up in that area. I don't know your age, but mine just kept going away.

    Your hair is very straight, try this. Wash your hair and leave it to dry naturally. I recommend you then use rollers and a small amount of a setting product on dry hair. Then, use a hairdryer to dry, keep it on a low setting or go up, as long as it's hot and pointing across and all over on top of the rollers.. Then put the Hairdryer on cold , and give your head a cold blast for as long as you can bear it, or for at least a minute or two. Leave the rollers in, and do something else. You see, when doing your hair and drying it, it feels dry. It's NOT dry really, your scalp is still a bit damp. This is something that people either forget or don't even realise. This is often the reason why people feel let down after paying a lot of money in a Hair Salon only to find their beautiful hairstyle has begun to unravel.
    I know rollers are looked on by some as a bit old fashioned, but many Salons still use them. You could have your hair permed but only on the crown, This will give you some body on top for ever day . You can use the upside down drying, you know, blowing your hair when your hair is upside down. Buy a set of electric rollers if you want. I still have a set given quite some time ago, and they are great for those times when you're in a hurry. I don't think using a dry shampoo every day is a good idea. What did your hairdresser say about that ? It's not necessarily good for your hair every day, but that's up to you.. Good luck!

      Lady, I did not ask you to do anything about that, but I would think a real professional hairstylist could at least give suggestions like this lady in the video does.

    Did a good job, looks nice. Instead of even brushing it lightly just tousel it or pick it. I have thin hair also, blondes have thinner, finer hair but actually more hair. If we have more hair even though it's thinner you'd think it would look thicker but no it doesn't. Like I said I have blonde, thinner hair but wavy, curley. I just tousle it after i shampoo it and pick it a little with a comb and let it air dry. I never comb it, it would take the curl out and just look like a big dried out mess. Also some layers help puff it up

      Thanks for your suggestion… as I’m more than dewy here in FL, lol and hate how humidity makes products feel heavy n sticky

    Hairdressers alwaystell me the brush/roll technique is a good one. But i am really uncoordinated and can’t seem to do it 😣😣😣
    A hairdresser also advised me that using dry shampoo to often can dry hair out and lead to damage.
