    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

      Most dry shampoos have chemicals that are dangerous. I use talc free cornstarch baby powder and I have black hair. Trick is to use lightly and first rub it in your hands. 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.?

    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.
    You can always try it out.

    Nice hair style! I am 67 and have long hair and am noticing my hair is thinning quite a bit. I appreciate your idea with getting more volume and lift by hitting the cool button on the hair dryer before removing the brush...makes good sense! I have a high forehead and my hair has receded in the same areas as yours, so I depend on my bangs to hide this area. I love the way your hair falls around your face without having to resort to bangs. Refreshing and youthful look!

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.

    Hi Jennifer,
    I can't get over how beautiful and perfect your haircolor is on you! I tried letting my hair go grey, because I lost almost half my hair from menopause and then Covid. I realize now that haircolor made my hair look thicker and shinier, so want to color it again. I believe you live in Northern California, like me. Would you be willing to share your hairstylist and color information? Thanks so much!

    Salt spray helps my texture, flatness, and static electricity. Dry shampoo too often is so drying. I still use the Kenra texture spray I read you use. Also use Drybar Southern Belle root volume mousse. My hair stylist has thyroid trouble, at age 36 she is having thinning hair. She recommends rosemary essential oil about 20 drops in an 8oz bottle of shampoo. Smells wonderful, not sure it helps. I could always improve my diet.

    I started to notice thinning in my temple area at age 52. I was so nervous. Now I'm 64 and there is little hairs in that area. I lost the hair there. 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.

    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).

    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!

My stylists have always told me I had to have layers and shaggy ends. When they were done I figured that was as good as it would ever be. After seeing the video I was convinced. After I let the layers grow out I'm getting a new stylist who will give me a blunt bob.

    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!

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

    I'll be 70 next year and have dealt with the same issues with my hair. I wash my hair 1-2 times a week only at night and blow dry after using my Shapiro hair care products and a little standard hair gel for body. I bend over and dry my hair for lift and only use my fingers to fluff my hair while I dry it. Takes about a minute (my hair is chin length plus a little more). Then after using my plastic pik or comb to lift my shorter side pieces(former bangs) and back for lift, I spray.-- Each morning I roll my hair on Caruso steam rollers-10-15 minutes (I've done this for 30 years-no more curling irons or curling with a brush/dryer). I bend over and run my wide tooth comb thru my hair and use the pik to lift in the back and help style my hair like I want...super body ! Then I spray and make corrections. No helmet hair either. The Caruso steam rollers were the game changer for my hair.
