- These are my personal tips on how to grow thin and fine hair long and healthy. Growing very thin hair long can be a challenge and I wanted to share what I have learned over the years through trial and error. And a heads up, I'm not a professional hairstylist. I mentioned that I take Vital Proteins but I am now trying out a different collagen supplement that I will review in an upcoming video.

I am 70 years old and my hair is about waist-length in the back, a bit shorter in the front as I trim it myself by pulling the back forward. Lucky you to have dark hair, it always looks like more hair! Mine is light to medium golden brown, with some grey. My hair feels and looks thicker and is stronger since I drastically cut back on shampoo and use no chemicals, conditioners, etc. I rinse my hair well in the shower but only use shampoo every 2-6 months. Every night I brush it with a natural bristle brush, all the way from scalp to ends, carefully. This leaves my hair looking and feeling a little greasy, but by morning it has all soaked in or something! And my hair has more body at the scalp and no more tangles! I think the oil regulates itself after a time if we stop stripping our hair of the natural oil. In my experience it took 2-3 months to find a balance so don't give up too soon. I too use collagen protein, the same one. I am sometimes tempted to bob my hair to my shoulders, but I also don't want to look like every other 70-year-old. Nice video, thanks.
Thank you for sharing your routine! ❤
You have the most beautifully calming voice, it evokes a real sense of joy within me. Thanks for these wonderful tips, they’re all really valuable! xx
Thank you so much!! That makes me extremely happy to hear that you feel calm and joy watching this video. I'm glad you liked my tips as well.🥰❤🤍
I came here to say the same 😴
Thank you so much! It's really heart warming to hear that. 💕
I have fine wavy hair that has become thin due to low ferritin. As of next month, I have not trimmed it in 23 years, and it is down to my hip bones if I pull it fully straight. I keep my ends healthy by conditioning them, so I don't need to trim. This is what I do...first of all, my hair can go 5 days between washing without looking dirty, or, 7 days, if I use a boar bristle brush daily, and clean that brush between uses by spraying it with white vinegar and then massaging that into the bristles and rinsing with water, then toweling the brush and leaving it to air dry. I dry finger detangle my hair instead of using a detangling brush. I also keep a spray bottle of 1 part apple cider vinegar to 4-5 parts water, with a few drops of essential oil to cover the vinegar smell. I spray my hair with this in sections and allow it to air dry, then boar bristle brush (it works best to then brush it upside down if this makes it look too flat). This helps hair stay clean longer, and is gentler than more frequent washing.
When I wash my hair, I use an all-natural shampoo followed by an apple cider vinegar rinse (I use 4 oz acv diluted in 16 oz of water) and then I condition my ends. I also seal my ends with jojoba oil when I get out of the shower (I think that a mixture of aloe era and jojoba might be better, though), to help seal in moisture (I scrunch out excess water first). After that, I wrap my hair in a tee-shirt towel for 10 minutes, then let it down and allow it to air dry fully before I do anything else with it, apart from fixing my part by gently flopping locks over to the other side of my head if they landed on the wrong side when I took the towel off of my head.
I never use heat on my hair, I've never used any kind of chemicals on it either. I am always careful not to use hot water on my hair, I always think, "If it were a plant, would water this hot cook it?" and that way, I'm sure not to cook my hair.
Another good idea to prevent breakage is to wear hair in protective styles that tuck the ends away. And to not use hair elastics, which can cause breakage. I usually use hair sticks or a hair fork, though sink scrunchies are highly recommended.
I combined the Wavy Girl Method and historical hair care methods to come up with what works best for my hair. I started using the Wavy Girl Method in 2021, at which time my hair was elbow length and had never grown past my elbows in my life. Now, less than 3 years later, it's almost long enough to sit on! So my methods definitely have worked well to help prevent breakage and shedding. I used to brush my hair way too much, with a detangling brush, and also I used to brush it when it was still partly wet. I didn't used to do anything but brush it and wash it, now it's more work but I've finally gotten my hair as long as I've wanted it since I was a little girl.
You may be interested to watch Katherine Sewing's hair care videos. She is currently doing a February challenge. I've learned a lot from her channel as well as articles on using the Wavy Girl Method.
I hope my tips are helpful!
Thank you for taking the time to share your hair growing journey! ❤
loved this video ♥️ ALOT/the MAJORITY of this advice is applicable for Fine haired afro curls too. 🎉
There’s not alot of info out there for people with and trying to grow their fine hair.
Thank you so much!! Totally agree with you about how little there is out there for us fine haired people. I really wanted to reach those with thin and fine hair and share what I've learned over the years. Thanks again for your comment. ❤
You can put extra virgin coconut oil on your hair but only apply a tiny amount of it on ends and mids and wait at least for 13 hours before washing your hair or more. Coconut oil can restore the lipide layer on your hair but it takes time.
Replacement of coconut oil: macadamia, shea, cocoa, olive, palm and avocado oil
Thank you for the tip! ❤
Finally a video that represents my hair lol.
Thank you so much! I'm definitely trying to cater to those with thin fine hair.💗
I have long thin fine hair 😊 I use Nature Bounty Hair Skin and Nail vitamins 4 capsules daily. Brush my hair gently upside down every evening, use silk pillow case, and use WET brush! I wash my hair 2x weekly.. I use Redken Volume injection S & C and Kenra Volume S & C.. I use Coconut oil on my mid length 30 minutes before washing hair, microfiber towels…
So helpful ❤❤❤❤
I am what they once called a Stringy Texas Blonde. No matter what people say, It's not oil, it's the humidity. I won't put coconut oil in my hair either...except for one time. My feet were sore and I was rubbing them with coconut oil. I rubbed what was left of the oil on my legs but that didn't get rid of it. I wiped what was left, off on the tips, the last one or two inches of my hair. That year, my hair did not have one split end.
That's so funny! And I can believe it too. Those of us with fine hair have to be very careful when using oils for sure. Thank you so much for your comment. ❤
Thanks so much for this. Your hair looks amazing. I've always had thin hair but it's gotten so much worse recently and I'll follow these tips. On the diet issue, I realised I was maybe half the recommended amount of protein a day (0.8-1g of protein per kilo of body weight a day) because the only meat I like is fish. If you don't eat eggs or dairy, you have to eat Quorn, soy products and quinoa which are the only full vegetarian sources of protein. Even nuts aren't full protein unless you combine them with other food like brown bread with peanut butter. If you can't eat these then meat may he the way to go.
Thank you so much! I hope some of these tips help you out. And a big thank you for the information on protein for those who follow a vegetarian diet. ❤
I have very similar hair! A couple years ago it was at its thinnest and most damaged. I have been working with a functional physician on healing an autoimmune condition, and I can tell that my diet and holistic medical interventions are helping. One thing that I have found very helpful is making a collagen rich broth using a pressure cooker. Might not be for everyone, but I can observe the difference inside and out as my body heals.
Thank you for sharing this information and I'm so glad that you are healing and getting better.❤
Thank you! Thanks for sharing your hair growth journey! @@sarahgee6690
i as well have very thin and fine hair and i have trained to wash it once a week instead of every other day and it feels hey better then when i was washing it every day to every other day
That's great! The longest I can go is about three days. I tried to train my hair to go longer but it just didn't work out for me. 💕
Your hair is beautiful! It doesn't even look thin. It may feel that way too when the weight of the hair pulls it down. Henna and indigo usually thickens my hair like CRAZY!! I don't know if you've ever tried it before. It can be a bit drying if it doesn't have the correct ingredients added (honey, coconut oil, homemade flaxseed gel, etc.).
Thank you so much!! My hair is really thin. My ponytail is tiny and when I have it in an English braid it's such a little braid. Haha! I haven't tried henna or indigo because I want to keep my natural hair colour but I have tried cassia and ziziphus. ❤
Hello, I use henna and others and that's how I keep my hair sealed at the ends.
I have grown out my fine hair, but I have fine thick hair, so my strands are fine, but I have a lot of hair, I was able to grow it to my mid back, longest I ever had it, because I used to bleach my hair a lot, I would say fine hair does not do good with bleach, bleach is horrible for fine hair.
When I grew out my hair it was blond, I died it dark brown, but my natural is light ash blonde, so I wanted to go completely natural, and decided to bleach my hair so my roots didn’t look odd shading dark brown hair. Sadly my thick fine long hair got destroyed by the bleach, it was thin dry and damaged, so I cut my hair to neck length. So far it’s taking a while sadly, but I haven’t touched my hair with bleach and I will never dye or bleach my hair again. So far my hair has grown in between neck and shoulder length, my roots against my blonde was bothering me so I dyed my grown out blond to my roots color. My hair feels a lot healthier, but I still have that dry damaged blonde, I’m slowly trimming it away, only literally 1cm and plan on doing this maybe once a month. I’m trying to get rid of that old bland hair. So wish me luck! And cheers to being natural again 🎉
Yes, bleach is just brutal on thin fine hair. I think what you're doing will work out well for you. The 1cm trims once a month is a great plan. I had balayage back in 2016 and it made my hair look so much thinner than it already is. Less than a year later I dyed it back to my natural colour and have left it alone since then. I wish you all the best on your hair growth journey! ❤
GREAT TIPS! Thank you!
I'm so happy you liked it!! ❤
You're gorgeous! And so is your hair!
Thank you so much, Anna! You made my day. ❤
You are beautiful and your voice is very relaxing 💗 i also love your plant collection!
Thank you so very much!!! You truly made my day. ❤🤗
My hair is thin, but super curly and dry. So I do use coconut oil, but only from my neck down. I need all that deep condition because of my crazy curly dryness. I feel like I'm in a weird spot, because I want to do so many of those pretty long up dos to protect, but my thinness makes those look so weird😆
Curly hair definitely needs way more moisture so you could try using coconut oil only on the lengths of your hair but use a little bit to start and add more if needed. You could even get some samples of hair oils from Sephora to test out like Moroccanoil, Kerastase, Oribe and so on. I hope this was helpful to you! ❤
Kitchen recipes are amazing even for fine hair; eggs, honey, vinegar, yogurt and even avocado 🥑plus iron must be taken naturally from food, as taking iron as a supplement is poisonous ☠️ over time 🌹
Subscribed!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. ❤🤗
I have fine hair and Im letting it grow very long. What is working for me is oiling the ends daily with olive oil and Im doing almost daily scalp massage, I have more hair growing and I dont lose much hair as before, also I have thyroid problems but as I shared no losing much hair as before. I started to oil my scalp too but not every time its hair wash day. Coconut oil works well for me, but preffer olive for ends as its less lighter
I can use coconut oil melted and mixed with a lighter oil or to boost a hair mask. Also always shampooing my ends when I do a hair mask or oil. But I had a similar experience where the oil would just not fully wash out. The greasy feeling wasn't nice. I have fine leaning hair but I'd say I have a lot which is typical for naturally blonde hair.
You're lucky you have lots of hair. That makes using oils and masks so much easier than having thin hair and not a lot of it. I have to be very careful not to over-do it. Thank you for your comment! ❤
What a beautiful person you are xxxx
Awww! Thank you so much!!!! ❤🥰🤍
Exelent, thanks. I used fenogrec , mala henna. Rosemary in serum no oil, ❤
Thank you! ❤
Coconut oil killed my hair. It has way too much protein in it for me, and it weakened and snapped my hair off.
I didn't have any luck with it either. Thank you for your comment. ❤
Very informative video! My hair is nearly identical to yours in texture and density so i feel i can truly apply this information and have good results. I just purchased the oil drops 🥰 Any recommendations for a silk or satin pillowcase brand that you like? Also, what shampoo and conditioner do you use? It seems to leave your hair looking very light and lustrous. Thanks! 🙏
Thank you so much! It makes me very happy to know that this video was helpful to you. I had a silk pillow case from LilySilk but it's old and torn up so the one I am using now is from DryBar. For shampoo I alternate between Herbal Glo Advanced Thinning Hair Shampoo and AG Fast Food Sulphate Free Shampoo. I've been skipping regular conditioner and instead I use Redken 25 Benefits Leave-In Conditioner after I get out of the shower. I find skipping conditioner and using a leave-in conditioner doesn't way my hair down. I hope this helps. 💕
@@sarahgee6690 thanks so much for responding Sarah! 🥰 I appreciate you sharing what products you're currently using and your conditioner strategy and silk pillowcase brand. I'll have to try just using a leave-in and see how that works 😁 Do you typically apply the leave-in and then follow with the oil drops on damp hair? Also, wanted to mention I completely agree about the "special diets" not being great for hair growth optimization. More and more I've come to realize a balanced and varied diet is key. I too struggle with my iron levels and I take grass fed beef liver for this as it contains copper and zinc to keep things balanced. Thanks again for sharing such valuable information 🙏
Thank you so much! After my shower I spray the leave-in conditioner onto my hair and then when it's about 80% dry I'll add a couple of drops of the oil to the lengths of my hair. Actually, I have been using the Guerlain hair oil a lot lately. It's really good but unfortunately super pricey.💞
Great tips! Thank you for sharing ~~~~
Thank you for watching! ❤
Thank you so much for the video. I have a similar hair type and I found this information very helpful.
I'm so glad this was helpful to you! ❤
Hi I love all your videos! I have fine natural curly hair and was wondering if I should use a brush or a wide tooth comb for my fine curls?
Thank you so much!! With natural curly hair a wide tooth comb is probably your best option. ❤
Thank you so so much and I also love your calm gentle voice you have ….very nice 😊
Aww, that's so sweet! Thank you so much. 💝
I don't think I can go more than three months without coloring it. My hair is almost all gray and I like it much better blonde.
Do what works best for you. If you prefer to colour your hair then do it. ❤
@@sarahgee6690but that defeats the purpose of your video.....
People are free to do whatever they want with their hair. I choose not to use any chemicals or dyes but if someone prefers their hair dyed a certain colour then so be it. At the end of the day it's just advice.
Girl dont diss the kitchen ingredients lol
I have thin fine hair and use eggs to wash my hair, and yogurt as well!! Olive oil scalp treatments, grapeseed oil, avacado oil are great you just need to let it soak for 24 hrs min with a hair scarf and or braids, and dont use too much. 🙏
Haha! I'm glad it works well for you and that's great you found a method pleasing to you. My hair just can't handle kitchen ingredients and believe me, I've tried in the past. Thank you for sharing your tips. ❤
Less hair washing , once a month of actual washing the rest of the time just brush and rinse
That might work well for you but I most definitely could not wash my hair only once a month. The tips I give in this video are for people with extremely thin and fine hair.
@sarahgee6690 my hair is extremely fine and thin, I had to work up to it over time, just going longer between washing but definitely brushing to distribute the oils and loosen the dirt then just rinsing it in the shower without shampooing helps, and btw my hair is to my waist. I did love your video though.
Thank you! That's interesting because I also tried working up to going longer between washes but it just didn't work out for me. I ended up getting scalp issues so I needed to wash my hair more frequently. My skin is on the oily side so that also might have something to do with it. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Hey sarah thank u for sharing this journey my hair is like urs and iam trying to get it longer Did u try prolonger loreal line or densifique kerastase or extentioniste for thin hair. Thank u 😊❤
The only product that I've tried from the ones you mentioned is Kerastase Densifique Fondant Densite conditioner. I thought it was just okay. A conditioner that I really like is from Alterna and it's their Caviar Clinical Densifying Foam conditioner. I also liked the shampoo from that line as well. ❤
@@sarahgee6690 that's gr8 thank u so much 🤍
Great video I subscribed
Thank you so much! 💞
awesome video!! I'm a vegan and I supplement and am very healthy plus saving animals - win win ! trying to grow my hair back after a chop !
Thank you so much! Best of luck to you on growing out your hair.💗
You sound like mandy moore
Really?? I love her so a big thank you to you! ❤🥰
do you use shampoo ? and conditioner ?
Yes, I use shampoo when I wash my hair and I occasionally use conditioner. I always use a leave-in conditioner after I get out of the shower. ❤
Hello!
The same for me, coconut oil does not work for me.
I have thin hair with oily skin, after using coconut oil on my skin the hair fall.
Yes, not only was it hard to wash out of my hair but I also noticed that more hair came out after using coconut oil. Thank you for watching! ❤
You have fine hair but it doesn't look very thin at all! All my hair is about a third of just what you have showing in front.
It's super thin! I think my brunette colour makes it appear thicker than it actually is.
Well you did a great job growing it out. It looks so pretty!]
Thank you so much! ❤
@@sarahgee6690 wouldn't your middle part be way more noticeable with fine hair? How do you create practically zero flyaways
I think my middle part looks typical for my hair type. My hair is a bit oily here so it controls the flyaways. Haha!
i thought you were Monica Bellucci
Oh my gosh!! Thank you for that amazing compliment. I wish I looked like her! Haha! 🥰❤🧡
All one length is wrong which I just found out actually. Sarah Ingle has really good vids based on science and it says to taper it. I definitely thought one length was better too (and I prefer it tbh) but oooh wellll
Oh and I should add: I really liked this vid. I'll definitely be using that oil!!! Thank you for making it for us fine haired humans ❤
Thank you so much! I've had layers before and they really made my hair look a lot thinner. I've actually been watching some videos on layering for fine hair but I think my hair is just too thin to pull it off. I even asked my stylist about layers the last time I saw her and she didn't think it was the best idea for me. If you end up trying out layers please let me know how you like them. ❤
