What I have learnt from this video is just to be grateful and not be envious of anything. I know how some of us Africans ache to have your texture of hair and know nothing about the struggle of maintaining it.
The old saying is true, "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence." It is always easy to want something that someone else has, but we have no idea the struggles that come with it. I also have hair like hers, and it is silky and shiny... perfect right? Yea sure.... as long as you never want to make it keep any curl, or stay up. Pinning my hair up is like pinning water, and I'm really not kidding. The silkiness just slips and slides right back out.. even with gel and pomade!!! And with fine hair, ANY oil on the scalp makes the hair fall very very flat. I wash my hair every other day to keep it very clean so it has just a little bit of volume and bounce. We all have to learn to love what we have.
Julia Edi same😂😂. I’m not african american but i have thick Dark and wavy hair and i often get annoyed because if i don’t have time to style my hair in the morning (like i run late for school) i looks like a broom. Also if i don’t use conditioner and argan oil it’s dry and Even so it’s kinda dry
Girl I feel you I have that typically super baby fine Scandinavian hair. I remember one time my Asian friend (she had super thick coarse straight shiny hair) was braiding my hair and she got so aggravated and she was pulling and I told her to stop cause I could HEAR my hair snapping. She told me my hair was too tangly and too thin and I was HURT. And the best part is that people tell you, “use coconut oil....” is that a JOKE?! Nothing is gonna fix these genes honey 😂😂😂 I had tape-ins and unfortunately it made me lose more hair. And I had to BLOW DRY it everyday cause again just like you my scalp was nasty greasy (worse for me cause I’m a natural blond and blond roots get dirty SO FAST) This past year I have def had a hair makeover!! Here’s some tips for the modern gal: 1. Go to the salon and get a BLUNT straight across cut. Girl I can’t tell you how many times these stylists cut layers in my hair. All layers do is thin out the hair and they take 10 years to grow out. Get all one even length! 2. Instead of blow drying your hair from start to finish, get outta the shower, get dressed, do makeup, then blow dry. You’ll still get a glossy voluminous blow out but less heat. 3. I have some HOLY GRAIL products that literally have changed my hair game: - batiste dry shampoo (actually absorbs oil) - aveda thickening tonic (the best hair product, literally makes each strand of hair feel thicker) - olaplex!! (Helps split ends!!) Sorrry this is super super long but I’m PASSIONATE about this topic!! No one ever talks about it cause most girls don’t have this thin of hair. And everyone takes their hair for granted lol . Good luck with your hair ❤️❤️❤️
I feel you someone cut a bunch of layers in my hair too :( . In the last few years I've been cutting them myself because I don't trust any hairdresser anymore. I have the same with all the "coconut oil"advices :) And when you see a 12 minute video titled "how to fix all your hair problems and grow thick healthy long hair" and all it says is "don't use heat and it will be fine" that is just a lie. I have not used any heat on my hair for nearly two years now (I am growing it, but I don't really have patience any more) and it's not much better.
Sára Kuzsner im sorry to hear that! I found a hairdresser that also has thin hair herself and she really understands the struggle and knows how to cut my hair. Sing my hair is so thin in the front, she layers and angles it perfectly around my face. I would suggest finding someone who has the same kinda hair. Some girl with super thick nice hair just won’t know. Best of luck with your hair journey!! I’ve also found that expanding time between washes has improved the health of my hair. 💕
@@unbothereddee6518 Sad to say oil is the enemy of thin, fine hair. It weighs it down and makes it look even thinner. I have thin, fine wavy hair that gets crazy in humid weather. I keep it one length, wash it every morning and hope for the best. I do get Keratin treatments in the summer to keep away the frizz.
My mom has that and I am jealous. When you have curly hair people understand that it doesn’t cooperate. People just assume I don’t try with my hair until they try to deal with my hair. I legit had a friend give up on braiding my hair because pieces kept falling out and she told me after that she would never judge me again.
I just want to say, I'm so glad I found your channel. The things you talk about in terms of etiquette, investing in ourselves (physical shape, skincare, etc), being capable but not obnoxiously independent, embracing femininity, etc, are all values my parents taught me, but in modern society today it's often misunderstood in light of modern day feminism. After watching this video about hair (I have the same type of fine hair too), I just want to express how appreciative I am for your advice. I'm 20, and in a way, you feel like the older sister I never had. :D
I have fine AND thin hair, it is a struggle. I work out everyday so I HAVE to wash it everyday. Oh and I have a cowlick on my crown!! It could always be worse.
Sarah Smile girl SAME! my hair is about shoulder length right now. it’s so thin and fine (probably 1/2 inch ponytail circumference) and I have this stupid cowlick on the front of my head so my hair never lays nicely in the front 😭
I feel you... i have really really thin hair that is also baby fine and the stupid cowlick on my crown that makes it look like i have a bald spot 🙃 i have just accepted that my hair will always be horrible and cover it with hats lol
I'm so sorry but cowlick is such a funny word I've been giggling for five minutes 🐄 I have the exact same situation with my hair and I wore them long all my life. One day I cut it all short and they lifted and look amazing. I strongly advise to do that preferably in some french fringe style and I know that doesn't suit everyone and that there are limited things you can do with them later on in terms of hairstyles but like with everything it can't be all positives. And it's easier and quicker to dry if you need to wash them everyday like me. Also I don't use shampoo but wash with conditioners something that makes them stay clean and sleeker for longer time and my scalp is in a better condition than before. Cheer up, dear girls, there is always something you can do.
As gorgeous as you are, you are so relatable! I have struggled with my hair most of my life, for different reasons, but I can so relate. What I’ve taken from this and some of your other videos is “whatever is broke, fix it.” Do whatever it takes to make your hair look it’s absolute best and spare no expensive in doing so. If that means extensions or any other extremes then so be it. Some of us were just born with great hair and others have to work a little harder to make it so.
i also have fine hair and i understand what you mean. my hair is very curly so its easy for me to make it look fuller, but i always wear extensions when i straighten my hair. Your extensions look very natural and your hair looks beautiful
I love Anna's comment section, minimal negativity, no one is hating, we all share our worries and insecurities and bringing each other's up and complimenting each other about our strength and weaknesses,that's what elegant ladies do.
Fine hair can be gorgeous too!! The texture is always soft, gorgeous, and feminine, even though it may be a bit thin. I actually had a lot of hair insecurity until I got my hair cut into a long bob. The ends look a lot better and my hair as a whole seems much fuller.
Slavic hair...the struggle is real. I'm with you on this sister. I have a weird question though. What happens if you have a date that wants to run his hands in your hair behind your head, like if he went to kiss you? Would he feel the keratin bonds? As for the greasiness, dry shampoo works well.
The only reason I ask is because I had a friend with extensions and once she wanted me to do her hair. I remember them feeling like the quill at the top of a feather. When her hair was down, you couldn't tell she had them on. When she wanted to wear her hair up, we had to be more strategic. I was just wondering if their have been different technologies introduced since then.
Thats a really good question!! .. i'd rather have a man or child be able to stroke my hair with no embarrassment than wear something that will cause me to push them away. . .thanks for bringing up that point! 👍
I wonder how embarrassing it would be for somebody when in a relationship (especially when married or conjugal), when their other half realizes that their woman's hair is all fake and of course she looks like a different person without all the extensions. No one likes being lied to... I think that all types of hair are fine as long as they are well maintained and properly cut/trimmed. I also think that if one accepts and loves their hair as it is, it will boost their self confidence.
I have the same hair type as you and managed to grow it the same length as you have with extensions! But like you mentioned in the video, it only happened after completely stopping coloring my hair and using heat on it hah :D Took 3 years as it grows so slow but it doesn't seem to stop growing now that I don't do much with it... Also natural hair care products all the way! But with that, it also took me some years to find suitable products that actually work
I have found that using “pure corn starch” baby powder, in my hair, when I go between washing my hair, helps my hair look thicker, fuller and styled, better than the day I wash my hair and style it! The pure corn starch is what makes this such an amazing help for your hair, if you need to or would like to go a few days to a week, without washing your hair! And your hair will look even better than when you first wash it! There are a few things I will point out about this though, so it doesn’t look like you have anything in your hair! You can do this within 5 minutes, probably not even reading the rest of what I say, but I just wanted to be as thorough as possible, for you, if you want to read on.... 🙂 Tip #1 The biggest tip is make sure it is pure corn starch baby powder, not just baby powder or whatever! Tip #2 Do this before you dress for the day. Or cover your cloths with a towel before putting in your hair. Tip #3 Sprinkle a little bit of corn starch baby powder into your hands and move it around in your hands, coating your open palms 🤲 this will help prevent too much of the powder at once and making your hair look like you have powder in your hair or aged instantly looking like gray hair! Tip #4 Flip your head down, and first lightly run your fingers, then hands through your hair, from the back of your neck, up behind your ears, gently through your hair to your scalp, then sprinkle a little more into your hands, rub into your palms of your hands(again, your open hands 🤲 should look lightly dusted, not poured on powder to avoid too much). Then run your fingers through the front of your hair, gently toward your scalp, and gently running your fingers toward your scalp, very lightly with your fingers only, massage toward your scalp again, from back of hair toward sides, and front( all while hair is flipped over, looking down. Tip #5 Avoid putting on ends of your hair, where hair isn’t where it’s needle and can unnecessarily dry out ends. Instead, you should have little bit at a time massaged toward your scalp, where oil would be. The corn starch powder absorbs the oil and helps your hair not only look clean, but you now will have body in your hair! Your hair will look thicker, fuller and style better than you could ever before! This is great for thin hair!!! Tip #6 with flipped over hair first, gently brush through your hair, to your scalp, and then flip your hair back standing up straight, looking in a mirror, brush through your the front of your hair, and all over, from underneath to however you normally would brush your hair. Check around your beck, ears, forehead for any tiny amount of powder, your can just rub it in and if you’ve been careful to not use too much, this corn starch baby powder amazingly rubs in so nicely (better than regular powder) but if you want to, you can take a moist edge of a washcloth and go over your neck, ears and face. If you notice you need to do this, you might have used too much, so check through your hair, running your hands through your hair around scalp, like you’re barely touching, but massaging around scalp, this is only if you notice under good lighting in the mirror that you can see any excess powder! If so massage, brush, use your hands all through your hair from scalp outward, through all your hair. * I am sure this looks like too much of a long, drawn out thing to do! It’s not!! It’s just that I am trying to be as thorough as possible! Most important thing is use “pure corn starch” baby power! It is the curb starch that is smooth and doesn’t fly all over like regular baby powder. You can go days using this trick, and amazingly, your hair will look better each day that goes by, easier to fold your style, you will have fuller, thicker looking hair that might not even need anything but gently running your fingers through or brushing and your good to go for the day! I use to wash my hair every day and couldn’t stand not to have clean hair, because my hair like Anna said, hers is, thin, and tends to get oily( well less now the older I get), but I tell you this is better than dry shampoo or anything else, in fact, like I said, your hair will look better days after, even a week by using this, and if you need to or want to wash your hair fewer times, ( it’s actually better for your hair, especially if your hair is color treated etc.)! Just a little reapplying each day, only if needed, but it’s so easy, it only takes 5 minutes if that! Let me know how it works for you if you try it! 🙎♀️🙎🏽♀️🙎🏻♀️ If you have darker hair, again just make sure you rub corn starch baby powder all into your hands, before running your fingers through your hair, lightly parting your hair with your fibers spread out toward your scalp, very gently massage and brush through your hair. Hope this helps!
As a black woman, we also have lots of trouble with our hair. What I do now is to have a hair regime. I user a brand called Keracare and also take Hairtamin. Check out Hairtamin. I ordered it from the US and it has done wonders for my hair. My hair is healthier, longer and stronger. Good luck 😉
I have really fine hair too, and I always watch videos made for your hair texture :D Before I've found the curly girl method I have learned a bunch of stuff from them because here in Europe people say stuff like "shampoo twice condition once and you will be fine" and a lot of people don't even use conditioner no wonder my hair looked that bad. Here people don't really know about deep conditioning and a lot of them think 1 hair mask can change 10 years of damage.
👍 I might need to give keracare another try, its been years since I used it and I did love the feel. I'm a black woman with fine hair and I cant get longer than shoulder length 😑
Hair strength: Horsetail + B1 + marine collagen (type 1&3) supplements I recommended this to a friend and she managed to grow her hair longer than ever
A c yes that’s spot on advice. I’d also add silica supplements and kerastase jeunesse serum spray. I have the same hair type. Stress made me lose half my hair. Six months of silica, fish oil supplements and kerastase jeunesse serum, I went back to the same high end London stylist who had seen me virtually bald and he said he’d never seen results as good in his 20 year career - he was dying to know what I did, I had so much baby hair and reversed it. So lucky. But now I’m stressed and need to do this again...haha
Oh! I never would have guessed. I thought wow she has great hair and that's about it. Thanks so much for the info. I have the same thin fine hair and I never thought I could get extensions. I saw girls at clubs with it but they A. always had a layered look in the front and B. made it too long and obviously fake. Yours looks beautiful.
How is your diet? Do you eat enough protein and micronutrients? My hair improved a LOT after I've started eating clean, and taking collagen supplements.
Im finish and Chinese and i always thought that my fine hair i got from my Asian side but now I’m thinking that it would be my finish side! It so flustering not being able to hold a curl!
I’m the same! Seeing other girls with naturally thick long hair makes me feel so sad about my hair, which is long but soo thin :( I noticed my hair has gotten thicker though since taking the vitabiotics hair gummies! My boyfriend commented on how my hair looked thicker! I would give them a go, the extra vitamins seem to be helping
Thank you for this video. My mom never believed me when I told her that thin hair has struggles. I am Peruvian and I look like my dad & I really was so disappointed with my long thin hair so I cut it last year till the shoulders. And now it looks better than before. Has more volume, looks thicker & it's growing nicely.
Hello Anna, I too have fine Slavic hair (I am Croatian), though it is naturally curly, which helps with some semblance of volume. However, as with you, it does not grow beyond the length of my shoulders. What has helped me is taking collagen powder, and also cold pressed Cod Liver oil. It may not sound quite appetizing, but it works wonderfully! My hair has become shiny, and I have had quite a lot of new hair growth 🤸🏻♀️🤸🏻♀️🤸🏻♀️ x
Definitely take biotin daily, eat foods rich in vitamins eggs spinach olive oil, use shampoos with less chemicals such as sulfates, do daily hair masks, get your daily trim from split ends. Also use hot oil such as olive oil and massage your scalp for 5-10 minutes and it helps bring blood flow!
I think you don't get the point of her video. I know you meant to help her, but it's exactly like giving advice to someone who suffers from acne. Some things and processes in your body you can't control. She might have a better diet than any of us, I think she already does what you suggest her to do. If a person has fine hair, no pills and no diet can change that. Sorry but I had to say that because I have thin hair as well and it always offends me when people don't get the struggle.
@@samanthacor7589 this is kind of like the oh if you do squats daily you'll get a big butt thing, or gain weight you get boobs, like yea it might help but only to a point our bodies just have a limit
Vitamins wont give you thicker hair strands. The genes decide the thickness of your hair strands. But vitamin do help with keeping your hair strong, healthy and growing normally. But fine haired girls will always struggle with tangly hair and breakage more than others
Lol it may be fine but at least your hair grows long and weaves match the texture of your natural hair...mine seems to grow up and out but its prone to breakage...i guess we can all find something we hate about our hair lol. Thankyou so much for your videos they are amazing!
Maybe you should try wearing wigs? To keep your hair protected and then style blowdry and apply heat to the wig you have on. That way you can also do all sorts of crazy colors or keep it natural and you can do different hair texures. I don't know just thinking out loud for you.. I hope you found a solution! Greetings from Holland!
Hi! I have very fine hair too, and going sulfate and silicone free helped a lot. Now my hair grows longer. You could try curly girl method (google it) approved products, because those are made for hair that breaks easy
Sára Kuzsner true! That’s also a good option. My natural hair (4C/african hair)also breaks easily. The longest I’ve had all my life is not longer than armpit length. But once I got the right products (Shea moisture), it’s my 3rd year since I cut all my hair and it’s at bra length. I even documented everything on my channel. It’s pretty cool. I think protein and moisture balance matters. And I use natural products(protein) and shop products(moisture). Using the shop products alone won’t be enough and weakens my hair even if I use a hair mask. Natural products like Shea butter gives the hair nutrients.
Also: the idea of hair extensions being taboo is about as ridiculous as us not wanting to talk about girls wearing makeup. It’s just a part of being a woman🤷🏾♀️ folks don’t ever want us girls to enjoy things🤦🏾♀️
actually, there is a thing as maximum length because the individual hairs have a lifespan. after that, it just falls out. so if it grows fast it can grow pretty long, one of my friends has past butt length hair too, but mine never grew past my boobs and I've been growing it all my life, most of the time with no heat, moisturized, braided a lot so it does not have the chance to break. I have tried hair oils, protective styles, different methods... Even when I had no breakage it did not grow. About two years ago I got a long bob and it grew back to the same length pretty quickly, but not past that
Aksana LUKASHENKA, no sulfates and silicones. No heat. Protective hair styles. Silk pillow case. Natural hair oils (none of that crap with mineral oil mixed in). Buy oil in its pure form.
@@aks8398 What I do is comb it very carefully. Always take your time and start at the bottom. Any time I am free, I cover my hair in coconut oil, cover it with a plastic bag and a silk bonnet over that. Wash it in cool water. If you use a hairdryer, use it on the warm setting..not hot. If you use any heat tools, use a heat protectant. I sleep with a silk bonnet on too so my hair does not rub against the pillows or get pulled during sleep. Just treat it like it is something precious that you dont want harmed. Also, after a trim use these steps of care for your hair so you dont have to cut spit ends off again for many months.
Okay sugar but you're not going to like it my name is Miss Laura and I have fine straight hair. I am 53 almost 54 and my hair is growing like a weed. First I take prenatal vitamins second I stopped coloring my hair after 27 years it took two years at a full blunt cut to grow out all the breakage and then an additional 2 years lengthening passed the bra also using peppermint oil drying my hair on a cool setting only using leave in conditioner and using dry shampoo at night before I go to bed so I can go for two days without oiling hair and finally only using foam rollers old school God bless have a wonderful Christmas
Biotin liquid drops helped me. Plus biotin tablets. Extensions ruined my hair and broke it off. Maybe this is why yours breaks off too? I also had bleach too. I don’t know why you don’t wear your hair down each side at the front? Also, use dry rollers so no damage. Aveda do mild bleach.
I have fine rather pathetic hair, as does my mom. There are things that help though! I second the recommendation for scalp massages. Lots of people love oils, but my hair has responded better to moisture/humectants like honey/egg masks, and aloe vera. How to know what kind of hair mask to choose? I’ve noticed that taking care of scalp and roots of my hair is vital, and also your scalp will probably like similar things to what the skin on your face likes, so if Marula oil works well in your face products, try for a hair mask that contains that as well. Also, use hair products that protect against UV rays. My hair gets crispy and looks even more fine when it’s out in the sun.
Haha yes. As a teen I decided to make a homemade "oil treatment". My hair absorbed so much of the oil because it is so fine that had to get three chemical baths at the hair dresser's to strip my hair of the oils. They said they had never seen hait react like that to oil. My hair is special indeed.
Hi Anna! Try Dr. Berg's Hair Formula. Read the reviews! And Dr. Berg's trace mineral drops. Look for a cold pressed pure castor oil. Most are pretty sticky so it takes some getting used to. I also like apricot kernel seed oil. I carefully oil the ends and I don't wash my hair everyday. I sometimes use Rosemary and lavender oils in a spray bottle. Since I've been using these I have less breakage my hair looks healthier and shiny.
HI. I have fine hair. Try jamaican castor oil: a few drops at night massaged into the scalp and at the ends. Wash as usual in the morning. I like adding lavender essential oil to make the oil smell great.. so thats is a luxurious treatment, not a bother. It thickens the strand , increases hair growths and stops split ends. Its amazing :) You will love this!
my fine hair pisses me off so bad. fighting this greasy hair is a daily struggle. and i have to skip a day between washes to not damage it so much with daily washes. i’m at a loss. i don’t know what to do. i’m only 20, i have no money. when i’m older i want a hair transplant because the front of my hair is thinning and my part looks so wide. i’m pissed.
Rice water thickens your natural hair. Please google, there is a lot of information on the net. I have fine hair too, but rice water has made it healthier and more voluminous. Good luck.
As a woman with fine hair I have to respectfully disagree with you. First of all, my hair easily grows long, I’ve never had a problem with growing long hair, it is currently at my waist and still growing. Second of all, I am not prone to split ends and my ends are not even thin or whispy. Third of all, fine hair has a special lightness to it that looks beautiful in a lot of styles. Is fine hair more delicate? Yes. But if you treat it right, brush it with patience and don’t use heat on it too much, it can absolutely grow long and look stunning. Fine hair can be incredibly silky looking, and I love my fine hair. Not only thick hair is beautiful, that is a misconception. Your hair looks like it’s both fine and thin and I’m sure that makes it more complicated, mine is not thin, so I don’t know that particular struggle, I know girls with thin and fine hair, and they do struggle with growing it, but I have to tell you that having fine hair does not necessarily mean that it can’t grow long, you are mistaking fine hair in general with thin hair, which are two different things, not all people know this, one is referring to the individual strand and the other refers to the density/amount of hairs on your head as a whole, look it up and read for yourself. Just putting this out there because I’m tired of fine hair being misunderstood even by people with fine hair, because they don’t realize that not all fine haired people have thin hair. 🤷🏻♀️
OMG, girl I feel you. I have the SAME SAME problem !!!! Don't your hair extension damage or weaken your natural hair? I tried tape-in extensions and it was a big mess !!!!
The grass is always greener on the other side. Being of Indian origin I have thick dark voluminous and naturally wavy hair that softly cascades n frames my face beautifully. I wished I had thinner n slightly lighter hair easier to manage n always saw hairstyles that were elegant n classy in finer straight hair...but over the years I have started liking my hair n it's looks n was surprised to know that with that million dollar looking hair you too hv your share of problems. It was great to see you real n imperfect just like us all. Being Indian my belief is rooted in a mixture of castor, coconut n almond oil - however it may not work on your hair type so can't suggest. Btw your hair cut n styled looked great but we all have to cut it in layers to get that style n that again is thinking for the hair.
I have reddish brown, super long, fine hair that drives me a bit crazy -but I wouldn't chop it for the world. It's just like my Grandmother's. If you ever saw her hair, you'd know that was the best compliment. 😁 I don't really use anything in the way of products. Shampoo and some conditioner sometimes. It has argan oil in the ingredients. Mostly I have a ponytail, twisted bun, headband, long braid or just loose. No curling irons or complicated products.
Hey babe why not get more pieces? I use 350 pieces of extensions. It will give you volume so you can have glamorous curls. It will also look great for pony tails.
A tip from a curly girl: if your hair won’t grow past your shoulders, get it off your shoulders. Wear more pony tails and buns more often. That way it won’t rub on your clothes too much which causes friction and ultimately breakage.
I hope this comment is not too off topic, but can red hair be considered elegant? I find that there still so much prejudice. I have red curly hair and I've had men openly telling me that I look like a witch or something else, I'll let you imagine.
I’m so glad I found you and this video! I’m 14 and I am so frustrated with my hair, it’s so thin! But I am trying to come to peace with my hair though. Don’t get me wrong I love my hair! But I just can’t do the hairstyles my friends do :/
Damn that's the toughest! Since the time you wrote this I bet you're in high school now. I hope you're still making peace with yourself. In middle and high school, my hair always looked so bad that compared to other girls that it looked like I never fully learned how to style my hair after 10 years of staring at the perfect popular girls in the hallway. I'm sure you've experienced this. Hah! As IF I never got a clue... 😐 I had the capacity to do the hairstyles, but the results never looked like they were done right because genetics. If you're overweight and your face is big, your hair looks even worse proportionally, so gosh, way to make your self-esteem shoot through the roof. 🙄 ~ I got to college and started to let go and say "f it." Then my boyfriend privately and gently let me know that my ponytail just doesn't look good. This situation doesn't really get better. When kids become adults, they don't just magically start judging others less than before. The healing process starts by realizing that society will never embrace you in this very specific way and it's time to figure out how to hide it. Hang in there. Do what you can. Hopefully my anecdote brings some camaraderie to your heart.
Suggestion if you want to have hair in say 10 or 20 years (and not have to wear a wig): stop destroying it. Hair = health. Cut it shorter. Wear it darker.
Oh my goodness I so understand your struggle. I too have so many issues since my hair is baby fine and breaks so easily! Thank you for your video and by the way, you are absolutely lovely and stunning!
You should try the hidden crown hair piece ! Its revolutionary! Way easier than normal extensions to put on and it looks great ! You can style it too! Love you Anna
Hello, Anna! My name is Vera, I am from Russia. I am totally agree with you about hair extensions, it's a life saver for girls, who naturally have thin hair. Ten years ago, when I was 19, I wore extensions about half an a year and then I felt confidently about my beauty and I could style my hair whatever I wanted. I also wore an indian hair, as in your past experience, and it wasn't a perfect honestly. But despite that it was good. Your video reminded me, how gorgeous I looked then, so I plan to extend my hair one more time, but pick a slavic hair in this time :) Thanks, Anna, and I am waiting for your new videos :)
Hi Anna! Please take a moment to let us know how you are doing with your SEARCH for African-American women who are successful Jetset Babes and about their hair routine. We all have various hair textures in the African-American community as well. My hair type is a 4...z formation curl (which means it doesn't grow fast and it doesn't create an S curl pattern and so it tangles EXTREMELY quickly and can dread if braided and not combed out right away). Thank you...I hope you get this message
I like your channel and you are very informative but please.......be happy that you have hair. There are people who suffer with alopecia and cancer who wish they had hair.
I am right there with you. Mine is thin and fine and gets knotted easily. Walking outside on a windy day would make my hair look like a rat's nest. It's horrible. As far as products go, my mom (who I received my fine hair gene from) is a hair stylist and she swears by ProDesign Tiger Reconstructor to keep hair super healthy. When I started using it, I found that I was no longer getting split ends and could use a hair dryer or iron as much as I wanted and it didn't matter. It works for any type of hair too but definitely helpful for fine, damage-prone hair.
Have you been checked put for various mineral deficiencies? When I was younger my hair was a DREAM. I still get compliments but to me it's way subpar to what it used to be. I'm getting my nutritional goals underway so I can of course, radiate beauty from within. I hope lol
I am so glad I’ve found out about Victorian era rag curls. Doing it that way, and sleeping on them is the only way my hair stays curled without hair spray. Because of how thin my hair is, I don’t like to use heat on it at all, or products like hairspray. When I was young I damaged my hair super bad! My mom also has quite a bit of hair loss now because of all the perms and styling she does.
@@corinneobrien6196 My plastic surgeon friend did hair transplants. Then they started falling out, too, and left him with little divets all over his head.
Try alterna caviar shampoo and conditioner, you'll be able to go longer without washing it even though it's pricier. Also try full effect by Redken mousse. And also go a few inches shorter to enhance the thickness x
You can do lots with fine hair! Fine hair has 2 main problems: grip, volume. 1. Grip. Styles don't hold or are difficult to do. Solution: use light products like mousse before styling. You can also use dry shampoo if hair is greasy or for extra texture. 2. Volume. A few long, feathered layers near the scalp/face can add movement and they are easily styled to give more volume. The rest of hair should finish in a blunt cut though. Trim hair every 8-10 weeks to prevent split ends. Use dry shampoo between washes to avoid damaging hair. Many ballet hairstyles look good on oily hair, as they are classic, slicked back and hair sprayed. Sharon Daley twominutetips on youtube has a lot of classic style tips for thin hair. She also has a great example herself of a good, easy to style cut for fine hair.
I have fine, thin, curly hair. I think the fact that it's curly helps mask how bad it is. I am trying desperately to grow it long and i think it's working, but i have to do EVERYTHING right, and I'm only at around bra strap length. I appreciate that Anna knows that she is actively damaging it in the pursuit of making it look beautiful. If any fine haired girls want to start having nicer hair, here are some tips: 1. Your hair gets greasy BECAUSE you wash it frequently. I also had extremely greasy hair like after a legit day of not washing. I used to use the crap out of dry shampoo every day to try to not have to wash my hair so much. At some point I bought something like 8 bottles because i was tired of going back to the store. I am realizing now that I haven't up a single one for around a year or two, because my hair just isn't getting greasy anymore --and i do scalp massages very often, which promotes greasiness in my hair. I wait 3-4 days between washes and my hair still feels soft and not greasy after that amount of time. When you wash you hair, you hair is heavy and it falls out more easily. So washing your hair daily = your hair is going to get thinner faster. 2. I also dyed and bleached my hair all the time, and yep, THAT is going to cause split ends. Not having fine hair by itself. I wish I can dye it and bleach it like thick haired girls do and they're fine, but I don't have thick hair, so If i want long hair I can't do it anymore. I wondered why I couldn't reach passed arm pit length my whole life --i look to my instagram and it's always at it's thinnest when i dyed it/bleached it 3. I straightened my hair every day since middle school (and I'm in my mid 20s now) and wondered the same thing has above. Yep, that will cause split ends too, not just having fine hair by itself. I started not caring about having pin straight hair and bam, my hair started to grow. My hair when it is curly is now longer than when I straightened it all the time 2 years ago. 4. Satin sleep caps or satin pillow case. Our hair breaks at every chance it gets, especially when you are tossing and turning in your sleep. Satin/silk will prevent a ton of that breakage. good luck everyone.
Dry shampoo for fine hair! It's how I got my hair to stop producing so much oil. The more you wash the more oil you produce, it's supply and demand. Now I can wash 2 or 3 times a week instead of every day. Thank you for the tip on Russian Virgin hair being of a finer texture. Now I know what extensions to get if I need to. Loved this video!
Be careful bc dry shampoo damage the scalp so much :( well for me it did, I have a sensitive skin so that's why. For short term it seems great option, but for long term you will have consequences
I hate my hair so much it sometimes makes me cry 😩 I’ve been trying to get my hair a pastel pink color but it is too dark. I know what your thinking “just bleach your hair, it makes it lighter” NO I can’t freakin do that!! It just damages my stupid thin hair really badly!!! Instead I used peroxide and baking soda but it still doesn’t work. It always turns out as a dark almost red pink that barely shows up 😭😭 I hate it so much and I am so jealous of you if you have light thick hair. You are blessed
Well I’m gonna stop complaining about my hair I have curly and wavy brasilian hair I straighten to look thin like yours but either way you are gorgeous Anna 😍
Have you tried using dry shampoo ... i use it just on my roots, massage it in & then brush it out thoroughly. It has helped me train my hair to not get greasy for longer. My hair now does not get greasy for 5 days, then if I like I can use the dry shampoo on day 4/5 so that my hair will last upto 7 days before I need to wash it again. I started using it on day 2, then when day 2 started to not look greasy I pushed it to day 3 etc ❤️❤️❤️
Lydia Beaulah ~~~> try using conditioner washes x2, instead of shampoo. It will moisturise scalp and clear away flakiness. As with your skin, if dehydrated it will push out more oil to compensate.
Omg omg omg!!!! This is so me!!! My hair exactly. I tried everything even wigs 😭 hair is so important. I had to work on “loving” my hair for years and accepting it the way it is. Now that I finally accepted me, I will try your method and love my hair even more
Omg i feel you 😰 i don't know what to do with my hair anymore, im not even sure what kind of hair i have. I mean, they're definitely very thin, but they're not straight or blond :/ (i readed somewhere that curly hair were more thick, but mine aren't). Plus i really don't have a lot but they get poofy when i comb them. What kind of hair is that ?!🤣😅 Also they are terribly fragile 😱. I dont use heat on them, im careful when i brush them, i use natural sulfate, silicone, paraben free shampoo and they still fry and brake as soon as i go outside 😱😱😱. Is anyone in the same situation as me 😥?
I have the same type of hair. I put it in a braid type of bun and put olive oil on the braid only before I wrap it in the bun for work. I've got it past my back bra strap doing the oil that way & wear it down like you do if I go out socially. When i do get it cut, have to avoid layers at all cost! And if the beautician screws up it can take years to grow out. Both my kids have the same hair. My youngest boy does best with coconut oil before bed while the oldest responds best to olive oil like me. My mother kept it at jaw line or above and would get perms to make it look fuller. I am debating on experimenting with a perm of big fat curls so I can ditch the old bun for a bit.
What I have learnt from this video is just to be grateful and not be envious of anything. I know how some of us Africans ache to have your texture of hair and know nothing about the struggle of maintaining it.
The old saying is true, "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence." It is always easy to want something that someone else has, but we have no idea the struggles that come with it. I also have hair like hers, and it is silky and shiny... perfect right? Yea sure.... as long as you never want to make it keep any curl, or stay up. Pinning my hair up is like pinning water, and I'm really not kidding. The silkiness just slips and slides right back out.. even with gel and pomade!!! And with fine hair, ANY oil on the scalp makes the hair fall very very flat. I wash my hair every other day to keep it very clean so it has just a little bit of volume and bounce. We all have to learn to love what we have.
Most genuine and respectful comment, I’ve ever read . 😊
Ok maybe you don't have easy hair, but black people (usually) have such fabulous teeth! I'm so so jealous for the teeth
Julia Edi I think that is wonderful that you admit your feelings, you are honest woman and that’s worth a lot.
Julia Edi same😂😂. I’m not african american but i have thick Dark and wavy hair and i often get annoyed because if i don’t have time to style my hair in the morning (like i run late for school) i looks like a broom. Also if i don’t use conditioner and argan oil it’s dry and Even so it’s kinda dry
What I adore mostly, is your honesty.
🧢🧢🧢🧢
@@oliver9174 ??
agreed!
Your extensions look so natural!
B C omg yes they do!
B C yes they do. It’s around the back of the head though that the signs of extensions usually show, unless you wear it pulled around your front
Girl I feel you I have that typically super baby fine Scandinavian hair. I remember one time my Asian friend (she had super thick coarse straight shiny hair) was braiding my hair and she got so aggravated and she was pulling and I told her to stop cause I could HEAR my hair snapping. She told me my hair was too tangly and too thin and I was HURT. And the best part is that people tell you, “use coconut oil....” is that a JOKE?! Nothing is gonna fix these genes honey 😂😂😂
I had tape-ins and unfortunately it made me lose more hair. And I had to BLOW DRY it everyday cause again just like you my scalp was nasty greasy (worse for me cause I’m a natural blond and blond roots get dirty SO FAST)
This past year I have def had a hair makeover!! Here’s some tips for the modern gal:
1. Go to the salon and get a BLUNT straight across cut. Girl I can’t tell you how many times these stylists cut layers in my hair. All layers do is thin out the hair and they take 10 years to grow out. Get all one even length!
2. Instead of blow drying your hair from start to finish, get outta the shower, get dressed, do makeup, then blow dry. You’ll still get a glossy voluminous blow out but less heat.
3. I have some HOLY GRAIL products that literally have changed my hair game:
- batiste dry shampoo (actually absorbs oil)
- aveda thickening tonic (the best hair product, literally makes each strand of hair feel thicker)
- olaplex!! (Helps split ends!!)
Sorrry this is super super long but I’m PASSIONATE about this topic!! No one ever talks about it cause most girls don’t have this thin of hair. And everyone takes their hair for granted lol . Good luck with your hair ❤️❤️❤️
I feel you someone cut a bunch of layers in my hair too :( . In the last few years I've been cutting them myself because I don't trust any hairdresser anymore.
I have the same with all the "coconut oil"advices :)
And when you see a 12 minute video titled "how to fix all your hair problems and grow thick healthy long hair" and all it says is "don't use heat and it will be fine" that is just a lie. I have not used any heat on my hair for nearly two years now (I am growing it, but I don't really have patience any more) and it's not much better.
Sára Kuzsner im sorry to hear that! I found a hairdresser that also has thin hair herself and she really understands the struggle and knows how to cut my hair. Sing my hair is so thin in the front, she layers and angles it perfectly around my face. I would suggest finding someone who has the same kinda hair. Some girl with super thick nice hair just won’t know. Best of luck with your hair journey!! I’ve also found that expanding time between washes has improved the health of my hair. 💕
You should try ayurvedic powders, it might help. I'm black and I made an oil out of it that I used for 1 month and my afro doubled in size
@@unbothereddee6518 Sad to say oil is the enemy of thin, fine hair. It weighs it down and makes it look even thinner. I have thin, fine wavy hair that gets crazy in humid weather. I keep it one length, wash it every morning and hope for the best. I do get Keratin treatments in the summer to keep away the frizz.
@@unbothereddee6518 could you please elaborate... what powder....thnx
When you have wavy Curly hair, but it is fine. You literally want to shave it all off.
Green Grass I shaved mine twice 😂
OH NO IF THIS ISN'T THE MOST RELATABLE THING EVER 😂😭😭😭😳
I have used the same products 1 day and it looks ok another day and it looks like crap. I cannot understand my fine wavy crazy hair
@@betsybrady8520 Believe me I feel you on this, it's soooo frustrating.
My mom has that and I am jealous. When you have curly hair people understand that it doesn’t cooperate. People just assume I don’t try with my hair until they try to deal with my hair. I legit had a friend give up on braiding my hair because pieces kept falling out and she told me after that she would never judge me again.
she's like the beautiful, wise, older sister u wish u always had
Fine hair girls reunite lol. I have red and fine so hard to get good extensions. I felt not alone when I saw you talking about it. 💚
Monse Ferrón me too! Good luck girl :)
*Oliplex with your color
*Satin pillowcases
*sleep with foam rollers
*put oil on ends before shampooing
*rice milk hair treatment
william mathison what’s rice milk hair treatment? Is it a products you buy? Or treatment you get done?
RP P You make it yourself. You can find a bunch of TH-cam videos on it
omg, thanks
I think you mean rice water
oliplex or olaplex? i used olaplex its a very great product.
As a black girl with the opposite texture hair, l found this video very interesting and even a little relatable.
I just want to say, I'm so glad I found your channel. The things you talk about in terms of etiquette, investing in ourselves (physical shape, skincare, etc), being capable but not obnoxiously independent, embracing femininity, etc, are all values my parents taught me, but in modern society today it's often misunderstood in light of modern day feminism. After watching this video about hair (I have the same type of fine hair too), I just want to express how appreciative I am for your advice. I'm 20, and in a way, you feel like the older sister I never had. :D
WOW! I thought that was all your real hair! It looks nice
Don't hate your hair love yourself no matter what God bless everyone amen 🙏
I have fine AND thin hair, it is a struggle. I work out everyday so I HAVE to wash it everyday. Oh and I have a cowlick on my crown!! It could always be worse.
Sarah Smile girl SAME! my hair is about shoulder length right now. it’s so thin and fine (probably 1/2 inch ponytail circumference) and I have this stupid cowlick on the front of my head so my hair never lays nicely in the front 😭
I feel you... i have really really thin hair that is also baby fine and the stupid cowlick on my crown that makes it look like i have a bald spot 🙃 i have just accepted that my hair will always be horrible and cover it with hats lol
@@lulisalulaid girl I have that same cow lick, plus my roots are blonde so it makes the spot look even worse LOL
I'm so sorry but cowlick is such a funny word I've been giggling for five minutes 🐄
I have the exact same situation with my hair and I wore them long all my life. One day I cut it all short and they lifted and look amazing.
I strongly advise to do that preferably in some french fringe style and I know that doesn't suit everyone and that there are limited things you can do with them later on in terms of hairstyles but like with everything it can't be all positives. And it's easier and quicker to dry if you need to wash them everyday like me. Also I don't use shampoo but wash with conditioners something that makes them stay clean and sleeker for longer time and my scalp is in a better condition than before.
Cheer up, dear girls, there is always something you can do.
As gorgeous as you are, you are so relatable! I have struggled with my hair most of my life, for different reasons, but I can so relate. What I’ve taken from this and some of your other videos is “whatever is broke, fix it.” Do whatever it takes to make your hair look it’s absolute best and spare no expensive in doing so. If that means extensions or any other extremes then so be it. Some of us were just born with great hair and others have to work a little harder to make it so.
i also have fine hair and i understand what you mean. my hair is very curly so its easy for me to make it look fuller, but i always wear extensions when i straighten my hair. Your extensions look very natural and your hair looks beautiful
Ahh same, I have curly wavy hair but it is so fine, but I manage to make it look thicker because I have a lot of volume
There’s something actually pretty about baby fine blonde hair. Really! That picture you showed - you looked super cute
Can you do a video on how to care for the Extentions? I neeeeed them but I’m so scared I’ll lose my hair
I love Anna's comment section, minimal negativity, no one is hating, we all share our worries and insecurities and bringing each other's up and complimenting each other about our strength and weaknesses,that's what elegant ladies do.
Fine hair can be gorgeous too!! The texture is always soft, gorgeous, and feminine, even though it may be a bit thin. I actually had a lot of hair insecurity until I got my hair cut into a long bob. The ends look a lot better and my hair as a whole seems much fuller.
Slavic hair...the struggle is real. I'm with you on this sister. I have a weird question though. What happens if you have a date that wants to run his hands in your hair behind your head, like if he went to kiss you? Would he feel the keratin bonds? As for the greasiness, dry shampoo works well.
The only reason I ask is because I had a friend with extensions and once she wanted me to do her hair. I remember them feeling like the quill at the top of a feather. When her hair was down, you couldn't tell she had them on. When she wanted to wear her hair up, we had to be more strategic. I was just wondering if their have been different technologies introduced since then.
Thats a really good question!! .. i'd rather have a man or child be able to stroke my hair with no embarrassment than wear something that will cause me to push them away. . .thanks for bringing up that point! 👍
Brianna B 👍
I wonder how embarrassing it would be for somebody when in a relationship (especially when married or conjugal), when their other half realizes that their woman's hair is all fake and of course she looks like a different person without all the extensions. No one likes being lied to... I think that all types of hair are fine as long as they are well maintained and properly cut/trimmed. I also think that if one accepts and loves their hair as it is, it will boost their self confidence.
@@MeL-ho9eq ... well said 👍
I have the same hair type as you and managed to grow it the same length as you have with extensions! But like you mentioned in the video, it only happened after completely stopping coloring my hair and using heat on it hah :D Took 3 years as it grows so slow but it doesn't seem to stop growing now that I don't do much with it... Also natural hair care products all the way! But with that, it also took me some years to find suitable products that actually work
I have found that using “pure corn starch” baby powder, in my hair, when I go between washing my hair, helps my hair look thicker, fuller and styled, better than the day I wash my hair and style it! The pure corn starch is what makes this such an amazing help for your hair, if you need to or would like to go a few days to a week, without washing your hair! And your hair will look even better than when you first wash it!
There are a few things I will point out about this though, so it doesn’t look like you have anything in your hair!
You can do this within 5 minutes, probably not even reading the rest of what I say, but I just wanted to be as thorough as possible, for you, if you want to read on.... 🙂
Tip #1 The biggest tip is make sure it is pure corn starch baby powder, not just baby powder or whatever!
Tip #2 Do this before you dress for the day. Or cover your cloths with a towel before putting in your hair.
Tip #3 Sprinkle a little bit of corn starch baby powder into your hands and move it around in your hands, coating your open palms 🤲 this will help prevent too much of the powder at once and making your hair look like you have powder in your hair or aged instantly looking like gray hair!
Tip #4 Flip your head down, and first lightly run your fingers, then hands through your hair, from the back of your neck, up behind your ears, gently through your hair to your scalp, then sprinkle a little more into your hands, rub into your palms of your hands(again, your open hands 🤲 should look lightly dusted, not poured on powder to avoid too much). Then run your fingers through the front of your hair, gently toward your scalp, and gently running your fingers toward your scalp, very lightly with your fingers only, massage toward your scalp again, from back of hair toward sides, and front( all while hair is flipped over, looking down.
Tip #5 Avoid putting on ends of your hair, where hair isn’t where it’s needle and can unnecessarily dry out ends. Instead, you should have little bit at a time massaged toward your scalp, where oil would be. The corn starch powder absorbs the oil and helps your hair not only look clean, but you now will have body in your hair! Your hair will look thicker, fuller and style better than you could ever before! This is great for thin hair!!!
Tip #6 with flipped over hair first, gently brush through your hair, to your scalp, and then flip your hair back standing up straight, looking in a mirror, brush through your the front of your hair, and all over, from underneath to however you normally would brush your hair. Check around your beck, ears, forehead for any tiny amount of powder, your can just rub it in and if you’ve been careful to not use too much, this corn starch baby powder amazingly rubs in so nicely (better than regular powder) but if you want to, you can take a moist edge of a washcloth and go over your neck, ears and face. If you notice you need to do this, you might have used too much, so check through your hair, running your hands through your hair around scalp, like you’re barely touching, but massaging around scalp, this is only if you notice under good lighting in the mirror that you can see any excess powder! If so massage, brush, use your hands all through your hair from scalp outward, through all your hair.
* I am sure this looks like too much of a long, drawn out thing to do! It’s not!! It’s just that I am trying to be as thorough as possible! Most important thing is use “pure corn starch” baby power! It is the curb starch that is smooth and doesn’t fly all over like regular baby powder. You can go days using this trick, and amazingly, your hair will look better each day that goes by, easier to fold your style, you will have fuller, thicker looking hair that might not even need anything but gently running your fingers through or brushing and your good to go for the day! I use to wash my hair every day and couldn’t stand not to have clean hair, because my hair like Anna said, hers is, thin, and tends to get oily( well less now the older I get), but I tell you this is better than dry shampoo or anything else, in fact, like I said, your hair will look better days after, even a week by using this, and if you need to or want to wash your hair fewer times, ( it’s actually better for your hair, especially if your hair is color treated etc.)! Just a little reapplying each day, only if needed, but it’s so easy, it only takes 5 minutes if that! Let me know how it works for you if you try it! 🙎♀️🙎🏽♀️🙎🏻♀️ If you have darker hair, again just make sure you rub corn starch baby powder all into your hands, before running your fingers through your hair, lightly parting your hair with your fibers spread out toward your scalp, very gently massage and brush through your hair. Hope this helps!
What brand you use ?
As a black woman, we also have lots of trouble with our hair. What I do now is to have a hair regime. I user a brand called Keracare and also take Hairtamin. Check out Hairtamin. I ordered it from the US and it has done wonders for my hair. My hair is healthier, longer and stronger. Good luck 😉
I have really fine hair too, and I always watch videos made for your hair texture :D
Before I've found the curly girl method I have learned a bunch of stuff from them because here in Europe people say stuff like "shampoo twice condition once and you will be fine" and a lot of people don't even use conditioner no wonder my hair looked that bad. Here people don't really know about deep conditioning and a lot of them think 1 hair mask can change 10 years of damage.
btw I live in Hungary
👍 I might need to give keracare another try, its been years since I used it and I did love the feel. I'm a black woman with fine hair and I cant get longer than shoulder length 😑
Hair strength: Horsetail + B1 + marine collagen (type 1&3) supplements
I recommended this to a friend and she managed to grow her hair longer than ever
Keep doing amazing Anna 💕I have been following jetsetbabe since the start and I am so happy to see your growth. Lots of love
A c yes that’s spot on advice. I’d also add silica supplements and kerastase jeunesse serum spray. I have the same hair type. Stress made me lose half my hair. Six months of silica, fish oil supplements and kerastase jeunesse serum, I went back to the same high end London stylist who had seen me virtually bald and he said he’d never seen results as good in his 20 year career - he was dying to know what I did, I had so much baby hair and reversed it. So lucky. But now I’m stressed and need to do this again...haha
Oh! I never would have guessed. I thought wow she has great hair and that's about it. Thanks so much for the info. I have the same thin fine hair and I never thought I could get extensions. I saw girls at clubs with it but they A. always had a layered look in the front and B. made it too long and obviously fake. Yours looks beautiful.
How is your diet? Do you eat enough protein and micronutrients? My hair improved a LOT after I've started eating clean, and taking collagen supplements.
Im finish and Chinese and i always thought that my fine hair i got from my Asian side but now I’m thinking that it would be my finish side! It so flustering not being able to hold a curl!
I have the same issues with my hair. I have thought about extensions but I’m a little scared that it might damage my natural hair.
I’m the same! Seeing other girls with naturally thick long hair makes me feel so sad about my hair, which is long but soo thin :(
I noticed my hair has gotten thicker though since taking the vitabiotics hair gummies! My boyfriend commented on how my hair looked thicker! I would give them a go, the extra vitamins seem to be helping
Yes! I also have fine hair. The struggle is real! We must moisturize more than other hair types and be so gentle
Thank you for this video. My mom never believed me when I told her that thin hair has struggles. I am Peruvian and I look like my dad & I really was so disappointed with my long thin hair so I cut it last year till the shoulders. And now it looks better than before. Has more volume, looks thicker & it's growing nicely.
Hello Anna, I too have fine Slavic hair (I am Croatian), though it is naturally curly, which helps with some semblance of volume. However, as with you, it does not grow beyond the length of my shoulders. What has helped me is taking collagen powder, and also cold pressed Cod Liver oil. It may not sound quite appetizing, but it works wonderfully! My hair has become shiny, and I have had quite a lot of new hair growth 🤸🏻♀️🤸🏻♀️🤸🏻♀️ x
I'm of Balkan background too and have the same fine curly hair. It's honestly such a pain.
Definitely take biotin daily, eat foods rich in vitamins eggs spinach olive oil, use shampoos with less chemicals such as sulfates, do daily hair masks, get your daily trim from split ends. Also use hot oil such as olive oil and massage your scalp for 5-10 minutes and it helps bring blood flow!
I think you don't get the point of her video. I know you meant to help her, but it's exactly like giving advice to someone who suffers from acne. Some things and processes in your body you can't control. She might have a better diet than any of us, I think she already does what you suggest her to do. If a person has fine hair, no pills and no diet can change that.
Sorry but I had to say that because I have thin hair as well and it always offends me when people don't get the struggle.
If someone has naturally thin or fine hair they can't change it.
@@samanthacor7589 this is kind of like the oh if you do squats daily you'll get a big butt thing, or gain weight you get boobs, like yea it might help but only to a point our bodies just have a limit
Vitamins wont give you thicker hair strands. The genes decide the thickness of your hair strands. But vitamin do help with keeping your hair strong, healthy and growing normally. But fine haired girls will always struggle with tangly hair and breakage more than others
Though diet can help taking supplements on top of a healthy diet is kinda silly. And neither diet or hair treatments can fix genetics
Lol it may be fine but at least your hair grows long and weaves match the texture of your natural hair...mine seems to grow up and out but its prone to breakage...i guess we can all find something we hate about our hair lol. Thankyou so much for your videos they are amazing!
you should do a makeup tutorial!
Maybe you should try wearing wigs? To keep your hair protected and then style blowdry and apply heat to the wig you have on. That way you can also do all sorts of crazy colors or keep it natural and you can do different hair texures. I don't know just thinking out loud for you.. I hope you found a solution! Greetings from Holland!
wigs don't look natural
NeSaMoSa ku lmao you haven’t heard of lace frontals? 👀😂
Look up Nutrafol and take collagen protein. I have the same (German) baby fine hair and it has grown 6 inches in a year. It will help you immensely.
Hi! I have very fine hair too, and going sulfate and silicone free helped a lot. Now my hair grows longer. You could try curly girl method (google it) approved products, because those are made for hair that breaks easy
Sára Kuzsner true! That’s also a good option. My natural hair (4C/african hair)also breaks easily. The longest I’ve had all my life is not longer than armpit length. But once I got the right products (Shea moisture), it’s my 3rd year since I cut all my hair and it’s at bra length. I even documented everything on my channel. It’s pretty cool. I think protein and moisture balance matters. And I use natural products(protein) and shop products(moisture). Using the shop products alone won’t be enough and weakens my hair even if I use a hair mask. Natural products like Shea butter gives the hair nutrients.
Also: the idea of hair extensions being taboo is about as ridiculous as us not wanting to talk about girls wearing makeup. It’s just a part of being a woman🤷🏾♀️ folks don’t ever want us girls to enjoy things🤦🏾♀️
Ava Williams I see our hair as another accessory if you want to wear extensions etc. why not?
Ava Williams that’s not your hair...,
Me😂 girl I got the receipt. That makes it mine 💗😂
Long hair is gorgeous on you hun, but I'm sure that a cute lob or bob would look beautiful on you as well. Have you ever considered going shorter?
it will keep growing. I have fine,thin hair and have it past my butt. You have to treat it like gold. It WILL grow.
MayorOfMoetown how do you treat it like gold?
actually, there is a thing as maximum length because the individual hairs have a lifespan. after that, it just falls out. so if it grows fast it can grow pretty long, one of my friends has past butt length hair too, but mine never grew past my boobs and I've been growing it all my life, most of the time with no heat, moisturized, braided a lot so it does not have the chance to break. I have tried hair oils, protective styles, different methods...
Even when I had no breakage it did not grow.
About two years ago I got a long bob and it grew back to the same length pretty quickly, but not past that
Aksana LUKASHENKA, no sulfates and silicones. No heat. Protective hair styles. Silk pillow case. Natural hair oils (none of that crap with mineral oil mixed in). Buy oil in its pure form.
@@aks8398 What I do is comb it very carefully. Always take your time and start at the bottom. Any time I am free, I cover my hair in coconut oil, cover it with a plastic bag and a silk bonnet over that. Wash it in cool water. If you use a hairdryer, use it on the warm setting..not hot. If you use any heat tools, use a heat protectant. I sleep with a silk bonnet on too so my hair does not rub against the pillows or get pulled during sleep. Just treat it like it is something precious that you dont want harmed. Also, after a trim use these steps of care for your hair so you dont have to cut spit ends off again for many months.
Every person has a different maximum length her hair will grow before the follicle releases the strand & begins to grow a new one.
I think your hair is beautiful, simple, & elegant. I love what you had done!!
Same hellish hair. Plus a seriously high forehead. Not fun.
Julia Rowling same!! Fine hair and huge forehead. Harder to have both
Like if her hair is thicker and longer than yours
Use castor oil mixed with coconut. All hair except rooths.
Leave for at least one hour than mascara, shampoo, mascara. This order. :)
Okay sugar but you're not going to like it my name is Miss Laura and I have fine straight hair. I am 53 almost 54 and my hair is growing like a weed. First I take prenatal vitamins second I stopped coloring my hair after 27 years it took two years at a full blunt cut to grow out all the breakage and then an additional 2 years lengthening passed the bra also using peppermint oil drying my hair on a cool setting only using leave in conditioner and using dry shampoo at night before I go to bed so I can go for two days without oiling hair and finally only using foam rollers old school God bless have a wonderful Christmas
Biotin liquid drops helped me. Plus biotin tablets. Extensions ruined my hair and broke it off. Maybe this is why yours breaks off too? I also had bleach too. I don’t know why you don’t wear your hair down each side at the front? Also, use dry rollers so no damage. Aveda do mild bleach.
I have fine rather pathetic hair, as does my mom. There are things that help though! I second the recommendation for scalp massages. Lots of people love oils, but my hair has responded better to moisture/humectants like honey/egg masks, and aloe vera. How to know what kind of hair mask to choose? I’ve noticed that taking care of scalp and roots of my hair is vital, and also your scalp will probably like similar things to what the skin on your face likes, so if Marula oil works well in your face products, try for a hair mask that contains that as well.
Also, use hair products that protect against UV rays. My hair gets crispy and looks even more fine when it’s out in the sun.
Haha yes. As a teen I decided to make a homemade "oil treatment". My hair absorbed so much of the oil because it is so fine that had to get three chemical baths at the hair dresser's to strip my hair of the oils. They said they had never seen hait react like that to oil. My hair is special indeed.
Hi Anna!
Try Dr. Berg's Hair Formula. Read the reviews! And Dr. Berg's trace mineral drops. Look for a cold pressed pure castor oil. Most are pretty sticky so it takes some getting used to. I also like apricot kernel seed oil. I carefully oil the ends and I don't wash my hair everyday. I sometimes use Rosemary and lavender oils in a spray bottle.
Since I've been using these I have less breakage my hair looks healthier and shiny.
HI. I have fine hair. Try jamaican castor oil: a few drops at night massaged into the scalp and at the ends. Wash as usual in the morning. I like adding lavender essential oil to make the oil smell great.. so thats is a luxurious treatment, not a bother. It thickens the strand , increases hair growths and stops split ends. Its amazing :) You will love this!
my fine hair pisses me off so bad. fighting this greasy hair is a daily struggle. and i have to skip a day between washes to not damage it so much with daily washes. i’m at a loss. i don’t know what to do. i’m only 20, i have no money. when i’m older i want a hair transplant because the front of my hair is thinning and my part looks so wide. i’m pissed.
Rice water thickens your natural hair. Please google, there is a lot of information on the net. I have fine hair too, but rice water has made it healthier and more voluminous. Good luck.
As a woman with fine hair I have to respectfully disagree with you. First of all, my hair easily grows long, I’ve never had a problem with growing long hair, it is currently at my waist and still growing. Second of all, I am not prone to split ends and my ends are not even thin or whispy. Third of all, fine hair has a special lightness to it that looks beautiful in a lot of styles.
Is fine hair more delicate? Yes. But if you treat it right, brush it with patience and don’t use heat on it too much, it can absolutely grow long and look stunning. Fine hair can be incredibly silky looking, and I love my fine hair. Not only thick hair is beautiful, that is a misconception.
Your hair looks like it’s both fine and thin and I’m sure that makes it more complicated, mine is not thin, so I don’t know that particular struggle, I know girls with thin and fine hair, and they do struggle with growing it, but I have to tell you that having fine hair does not necessarily mean that it can’t grow long, you are mistaking fine hair in general with thin hair, which are two different things, not all people know this, one is referring to the individual strand and the other refers to the density/amount of hairs on your head as a whole, look it up and read for yourself. Just putting this out there because I’m tired of fine hair being misunderstood even by people with fine hair, because they don’t realize that not all fine haired people have thin hair. 🤷🏻♀️
OMG, girl I feel you. I have the SAME SAME problem !!!! Don't your hair extension damage or weaken your natural hair? I tried tape-in extensions and it was a big mess !!!!
The grass is always greener on the other side. Being of Indian origin I have thick dark voluminous and naturally wavy hair that softly cascades n frames my face beautifully. I wished I had thinner n slightly lighter hair easier to manage n always saw hairstyles that were elegant n classy in finer straight hair...but over the years I have started liking my hair n it's looks n was surprised to know that with that million dollar looking hair you too hv your share of problems. It was great to see you real n imperfect just like us all. Being Indian my belief is rooted in a mixture of castor, coconut n almond oil - however it may not work on your hair type so can't suggest. Btw your hair cut n styled looked great but we all have to cut it in layers to get that style n that again is thinking for the hair.
I have really fine hair too and I color it and use flat iron aswell but it’s longer than your extensions so it’s not impossible though
I can relate 😭 my hair is very thin, greasy and tangles a lot. Your hair extensions look great! Maybe I'll try in the future
Alejandra Leyva Same here! It’s so difficult to find products and stylists that don’t ruin it. 😔
I have reddish brown, super long, fine hair that drives me a bit crazy -but I wouldn't chop it for the world. It's just like my Grandmother's. If you ever saw her hair, you'd know that was the best compliment. 😁
I don't really use anything in the way of products. Shampoo and some conditioner sometimes. It has argan oil in the ingredients. Mostly I have a ponytail, twisted bun, headband, long braid or just loose. No curling irons or complicated products.
Hey babe why not get more pieces? I use 350 pieces of extensions. It will give you volume so you can have glamorous curls. It will also look great for pony tails.
I can only do 90 pieces tops!! SoCap brand
A tip from a curly girl: if your hair won’t grow past your shoulders, get it off your shoulders. Wear more pony tails and buns more often. That way it won’t rub on your clothes too much which causes friction and ultimately breakage.
pony tails and buns actually cause more split ends and breakage etc ,
especially for straight hair.
@@behwah not it you do it the proper way (not too tight). It protects the ends. Try it out
@@behwah i get more splits with my hair down.
Your Highness bruh i’m a professional hair stylist . i think i know LMAO
i meant in some cases it can
Good advice, thank you! ;) Cinnamon buns are known for protecting the ends. Just keep in mind that it shouldn't be so tight.
I can relate! Also, we should never let hair extensions become a taboo topic, this is ridiculous that anyone would think it’s something to hide
I hope this comment is not too off topic, but can red hair be considered elegant? I find that there still so much prejudice. I have red curly hair and I've had men openly telling me that I look like a witch or something else, I'll let you imagine.
Try dry shampoo! I use it on my roots for volume. It works wonders on my fine hair
do you have a suggestion what brand dry shampoo as I've tried many and they remove the shine and softness.
I’m so glad I found you and this video! I’m 14 and I am so frustrated with my hair, it’s so thin! But I am trying to come to peace with my hair though. Don’t get me wrong I love my hair! But I just can’t do the hairstyles my friends do :/
Damn that's the toughest! Since the time you wrote this I bet you're in high school now. I hope you're still making peace with yourself. In middle and high school, my hair always looked so bad that compared to other girls that it looked like I never fully learned how to style my hair after 10 years of staring at the perfect popular girls in the hallway. I'm sure you've experienced this. Hah! As IF I never got a clue... 😐 I had the capacity to do the hairstyles, but the results never looked like they were done right because genetics. If you're overweight and your face is big, your hair looks even worse proportionally, so gosh, way to make your self-esteem shoot through the roof. 🙄

I got to college and started to let go and say "f it." Then my boyfriend privately and gently let me know that my ponytail just doesn't look good. This situation doesn't really get better. When kids become adults, they don't just magically start judging others less than before. The healing process starts by realizing that society will never embrace you in this very specific way and it's time to figure out how to hide it. Hang in there. Do what you can. Hopefully my anecdote brings some camaraderie to your heart.
Suggestion if you want to have hair in say 10 or 20 years (and not have to wear a wig): stop destroying it. Hair = health. Cut it shorter. Wear it darker.
Love love love you for your candid conversation! You are so inspiring !!
Oh my goodness I so understand your struggle. I too have so many issues since my hair is baby fine and breaks so easily! Thank you for your video and by the way, you are absolutely lovely and stunning!
You should try the hidden crown hair piece ! Its revolutionary! Way easier than normal extensions to put on and it looks great ! You can style it too! Love you Anna
Hello, Anna! My name is Vera, I am from Russia. I am totally agree with you about hair extensions, it's a life saver for girls, who naturally have thin hair. Ten years ago, when I was 19, I wore extensions about half an a year and then I felt confidently about my beauty and I could style my hair whatever I wanted. I also wore an indian hair, as in your past experience, and it wasn't a perfect honestly. But despite that it was good. Your video reminded me, how gorgeous I looked then, so I plan to extend my hair one more time, but pick a slavic hair in this time :) Thanks, Anna, and I am waiting for your new videos :)
Hi Anna! Please take a moment to let us know how you are doing with your SEARCH for African-American women who are successful Jetset Babes and about their hair routine. We all have various hair textures in the African-American community as well. My hair type is a 4...z formation curl (which means it doesn't grow fast and it doesn't create an S curl pattern and so it tangles EXTREMELY quickly and can dread if braided and not combed out right away). Thank you...I hope you get this message
I like your channel and you are very informative but please.......be happy that you have hair. There are people who suffer with alopecia and cancer who wish they had hair.
I am right there with you. Mine is thin and fine and gets knotted easily. Walking outside on a windy day would make my hair look like a rat's nest. It's horrible. As far as products go, my mom (who I received my fine hair gene from) is a hair stylist and she swears by ProDesign Tiger Reconstructor to keep hair super healthy. When I started using it, I found that I was no longer getting split ends and could use a hair dryer or iron as much as I wanted and it didn't matter. It works for any type of hair too but definitely helpful for fine, damage-prone hair.
Have you been checked put for various mineral deficiencies? When I was younger my hair was a DREAM. I still get compliments but to me it's way subpar to what it used to be. I'm getting my nutritional goals underway so I can of course, radiate beauty from within. I hope lol
Haven't you tried prp, prf Or stem cell therapy for hair ever? I want to know for myself too? Is it works or not?
7/10 girls feel the same way
I am so glad I’ve found out about Victorian era rag curls. Doing it that way, and sleeping on them is the only way my hair stays curled without hair spray. Because of how thin my hair is, I don’t like to use heat on it at all, or products like hairspray. When I was young I damaged my hair super bad! My mom also has quite a bit of hair loss now because of all the perms and styling she does.
Are there some surgeries you could do for hair quality?
Hair transplant
@@corinneobrien6196 My plastic surgeon friend did hair transplants. Then they started falling out, too, and left him with little divets all over his head.
Try alterna caviar shampoo and conditioner, you'll be able to go longer without washing it even though it's pricier. Also try full effect by Redken mousse. And also go a few inches shorter to enhance the thickness x
Coconut oil treatments lots of 5 min massages 3 times a month!!! Thank me later. Great video! 😍❤ @schoolofaffluence
You can do lots with fine hair! Fine hair has 2 main problems: grip, volume.
1. Grip. Styles don't hold or are difficult to do. Solution: use light products like mousse before styling. You can also use dry shampoo if hair is greasy or for extra texture.
2. Volume. A few long, feathered layers near the scalp/face can add movement and they are easily styled to give more volume. The rest of hair should finish in a blunt cut though. Trim hair every 8-10 weeks to prevent split ends. Use dry shampoo between washes to avoid damaging hair. Many ballet hairstyles look good on oily hair, as they are classic, slicked back and hair sprayed.
Sharon Daley twominutetips on youtube has a lot of classic style tips for thin hair. She also has a great example herself of a good, easy to style cut for fine hair.
I have fine, thin, curly hair. I think the fact that it's curly helps mask how bad it is. I am trying desperately to grow it long and i think it's working, but i have to do EVERYTHING right, and I'm only at around bra strap length. I appreciate that Anna knows that she is actively damaging it in the pursuit of making it look beautiful. If any fine haired girls want to start having nicer hair, here are some tips:
1. Your hair gets greasy BECAUSE you wash it frequently. I also had extremely greasy hair like after a legit day of not washing. I used to use the crap out of dry shampoo every day to try to not have to wash my hair so much. At some point I bought something like 8 bottles because i was tired of going back to the store. I am realizing now that I haven't up a single one for around a year or two, because my hair just isn't getting greasy anymore --and i do scalp massages very often, which promotes greasiness in my hair. I wait 3-4 days between washes and my hair still feels soft and not greasy after that amount of time. When you wash you hair, you hair is heavy and it falls out more easily. So washing your hair daily = your hair is going to get thinner faster.
2. I also dyed and bleached my hair all the time, and yep, THAT is going to cause split ends. Not having fine hair by itself. I wish I can dye it and bleach it like thick haired girls do and they're fine, but I don't have thick hair, so If i want long hair I can't do it anymore. I wondered why I couldn't reach passed arm pit length my whole life --i look to my instagram and it's always at it's thinnest when i dyed it/bleached it
3. I straightened my hair every day since middle school (and I'm in my mid 20s now) and wondered the same thing has above. Yep, that will cause split ends too, not just having fine hair by itself. I started not caring about having pin straight hair and bam, my hair started to grow. My hair when it is curly is now longer than when I straightened it all the time 2 years ago.
4. Satin sleep caps or satin pillow case. Our hair breaks at every chance it gets, especially when you are tossing and turning in your sleep. Satin/silk will prevent a ton of that breakage.
good luck everyone.
Try plasma treatments (PRP) and also there’s stem cell treatments
Yup. This is why I wear my hair up all the time and put a fake bun in
I’m trying to do this just leave the hair alone to grow I’m not sure it will work for my think hair similar to yours
Omg my hair is the same
Same color and thickness
I thought there is no hope for me
Thank you for sharing ❤️
I got long hair which reaches my lower waist! BUT they are THIN and can't do any style to my hair
Dry shampoo for fine hair! It's how I got my hair to stop producing so much oil. The more you wash the more oil you produce, it's supply and demand. Now I can wash 2 or 3 times a week instead of every day. Thank you for the tip on Russian Virgin hair being of a finer texture. Now I know what extensions to get if I need to. Loved this video!
Be careful bc dry shampoo damage the scalp so much :( well for me it did, I have a sensitive skin so that's why. For short term it seems great option, but for long term you will have consequences
I hate my hair so much it sometimes makes me cry 😩
I’ve been trying to get my hair a pastel pink color but it is too dark. I know what your thinking “just bleach your hair, it makes it lighter” NO I can’t freakin do that!! It just damages my stupid thin hair really badly!!! Instead I used peroxide and baking soda but it still doesn’t work. It always turns out as a dark almost red pink that barely shows up 😭😭 I hate it so much and I am so jealous of you if you have light thick hair. You are blessed
Love from Australia 🇦🇺 Same problem, probably because I have a Anglo- Celtic DNA with a dose of Danish. Thank you.❤️
Should out to my Scandinavian flat haired sisters 👯
Well I’m gonna stop complaining about my hair I have curly and wavy brasilian hair I straighten to look thin like yours but either way you are gorgeous Anna 😍
Have you tried using dry shampoo ... i use it just on my roots, massage it in & then brush it out thoroughly. It has helped me train my hair to not get greasy for longer. My hair now does not get greasy for 5 days, then if I like I can use the dry shampoo on day 4/5 so that my hair will last upto 7 days before I need to wash it again. I started using it on day 2, then when day 2 started to not look greasy I pushed it to day 3 etc ❤️❤️❤️
Lydia Beaulah ~~~> try using conditioner washes x2, instead of shampoo. It will moisturise scalp and clear away flakiness. As with your skin, if dehydrated it will push out more oil to compensate.
When I used to do thait my scalp completely dehydrated and continued being greasy, but also with dead skin sells all over
Omg omg omg!!!! This is so me!!! My hair exactly. I tried everything even wigs 😭 hair is so important. I had to work on “loving” my hair for years and accepting it the way it is. Now that I finally accepted me, I will try your method and love my hair even more
Omg i feel you 😰 i don't know what to do with my hair anymore, im not even sure what kind of hair i have. I mean, they're definitely very thin, but they're not straight or blond :/ (i readed somewhere that curly hair were more thick, but mine aren't). Plus i really don't have a lot but they get poofy when i comb them. What kind of hair is that ?!🤣😅 Also they are terribly fragile 😱. I dont use heat on them, im careful when i brush them, i use natural sulfate, silicone, paraben free shampoo and they still fry and brake as soon as i go outside 😱😱😱. Is anyone in the same situation as me 😥?
I'm in the same situation.
I have the same type of hair. I put it in a braid type of bun and put olive oil on the braid only before I wrap it in the bun for work. I've got it past my back bra strap doing the oil that way & wear it down like you do if I go out socially.
When i do get it cut, have to avoid layers at all cost! And if the beautician screws up it can take years to grow out.
Both my kids have the same hair. My youngest boy does best with coconut oil before bed while the oldest responds best to olive oil like me.
My mother kept it at jaw line or above and would get perms to make it look fuller. I am debating on experimenting with a perm of big fat curls so I can ditch the old bun for a bit.
Volume is too low, and it's not the first of your videos that are too low. Please increase the volume!
Anna come and try tape-ins with house of hair uk we are london based boutique
Can you make a video about how rich men feel about girls with tattoos? Would they date one?
Yes please
Love your honesty. It makes your channel unique!!
Dry shampoo for greasy hair.
Mix water with few drops of rosemary essential oil and spray the hair, it'll help with thickening the hair 🤞🏻
