I have really thin hair..it's a little longer than shouldars...should I get layers or something

I want to make my hair have more body....my hair is naturally wavy and I scrunch it sometimes with curl gel but it just gets limp and lifeless throughout the day...other days I wear it straight...either way it's DEAD. I've heard I should get layers to make it have more body...???

This sounds pretty much like my hair. Getting layers does help. Also be careful which styling products you use, since some can just weigh down your hair or make it look oily.

yes, get a bunch of layers and use volumizing products, blow dry hair upside down

I have really thin hair..it's a little longer than shouldars...should I get layers or something ???

This may sound strange but it worked for one of my daughters. She would have braids put into her hair while the hair is damp. Then after a few days take it out and it is very full and bouncy. It's very versitile too. She'd have the braids pulled into a ponytail, either in the back or off to the side. She'd let some on the side and then tie some up in the back...sorta reminded me of an egyptian style. But once she took out the braids, her hair was wavy and thick, bouncy and all for a few days after.

Her hair was indian straight, got that from my grandfather on my dad's side. LOL So maybe you won't need it in too long.

Now if you "want" a shorter style, layers are very much the way to make thin hair "appear" thicker and a very soft perm would give you more volume.

Everyones hair is actually dead, but if you get layers in the right spot and length, it will more add texture to your hair but it will give the illusion of more volume. There are some shampoos out there that help add volume. Also, try back combing towards the top and then lightly comb the top layer of hair, if done right, adds volume, and it can be as much as you want.

I have really thin hair..it's a little longer than shouldars...should I get layers or something ???

well so do i and i have some layering and i want to get more because if you do get layers, your wavy hair will be more defined and i wasn't sure at first when i got it cut but now i want to get more so i would say go and get your hair layered because we have the exact same hair! if you are having problems with your hair and how to get more body when you style it, use a diffuser(its the attachment for the blowdryer that really big thing that you don't know what to do with) but that just makes my hair really poofy or sleep on it wet if you take a shower before you go to bed and your hair will stay wavy, trust me because i have to put it up everyday because i don't like it on my shoulders.

I have really thin hair..it's a little longer than shouldars...should I get layers or something ???

layers look really good but the way i like layers is layered in front and straight from the back. Another really good is straight form the top of your head and curly on the bottom, but the best in my opinion is layers . but you should do different hair styles, you can put part of your hair out and the rest in a pony tail, or use those really cute head-bands that look like pony tails, those look really good in your hair and it gives it a different and lifeful touch

I have really thin hair..it's a little longer than shouldars...should I get layers or something ???

DEFINETLY. That's exactly like my hair, but i got layers and it looks great!

Well getting layers gives the effect of having thick hair.Or you can buy volumizing spray

Poofy hair? (I'll vote best answer)?

Ok,so last year (2007) my hair was silky,smooth,and not poofy.But then I was tired of my same straight hair so I used this product (it was made to make your hair crimped) so I crimped my whole hair.Then monthes later my hair started getting really dry and poofy.So now everytime I get out of the shower and my hair gets dry it gets very poofy and sticks up alot.In the mornings when I finish brushing my hair it gets poofy.Nothing will work to keep it down (No not water it will get dry and eventually poof up %26amp; no not gel I do not like the flaky stuff.) Is there anyway to get my hair settled and silky smooth like it use to be?

Please help sorry it's long!

Poofy hair? (I'll vote best answer)?

DO NOT Brush your hair when it is wet.. Causes breakage and poof. Dont brush your hair at all until it is better, Use a Pic or comb. Try leave in conditioner after you shower. Use cold water on your hair when you wash it... Or at least not hot. Use shampoo every second day to allow oils in your hair to build a little in hopes your hair will self repair, rather then washing out the oils b4 they have a chance. As well you can buy intense repair treatments for shoppers or walmart (hot oil).

Good luck, It may take a while have patience.

Go to the salon and have it straightened.

Leave conditioner in, try some of the John frieda no frizz stuff.

So the product was permanent???

Maybe you could go to a hair salon and have them use one of those really strong shampoos for like chlorine-damaged hair. That might help...

Poofy hair? (I'll vote best answer)?

Try taking a straightening iron and pulling all the hair together and straight down, see if that helps. If not, maybe go get your hair trimmed, and ask the hairdresser whjat to do, they usually know what to do about these things.

Poofy hair? (I'll vote best answer)?

Try a good leave-in conditioning treatment. Nexxus make a good spray on conditioner or Infusium leave in treatment is good too. They will provide added moisture to ease the "poofy-ness" without adding weight or excess oils to your hair.

Poofy hair? (I'll vote best answer)?

Try Garnier Sleek %26amp; Shine hair serum, its a liquid-type this and its in a sphere shaped bottle. Also use a hydrating shampoo (Herbal Essences Hello Hydration or similar) also stop using that product and eventually it will probably go back to being normal

Use conditioner! I recommend Garnier Nutrisse

Maybe you should stop using that shampoo and conditioner or whatever...

Poofy hair? (I'll vote best answer)?

Try a deep conditioner and also try using Garnier Fructis "Moisture Works!" shampoo and conditioner!

If your really trying to solve the problem and willing to spend money you could possibly get a Japanese straightening or a procedure like that and your hair will be smooth and straight all the time and you won't have to worry about it. Or you could go to a salon and have them wash and condition and cut the dry ends off and also blow it out or straighten it and they also would have a lot of products and such to help since they are the professionals.

Good luck!

Poofy hair? (I'll vote best answer)?

ok what you need to do, is go to a hair salon and tell them to wash your hair and condition it, then trim about 1 ,2, or 3 inches off.

then go to a store and buy new conditioner, and shampoo.

get hair serum too.

this should work!

my hair is actually naturally poofy.

Hey_x

The best thing to do is to go to the hair dressers and have them do it for you. They will recomend a shampoo that will work best with your hair. I use to have the same problem... After the hair dressers (like a few weeks later) if your hair gets poofy again, just go back ! Thats what you should do anyway even if your hair doesn't get poofy !! Hope I helped %26amp; Good luck__xxo

Poofy hair? (I'll vote best answer)?

well first of all go around in the shops and search for shampoos and conditioner! make sure you wash your hair preperly ( you put shampoo in your hair and stroke your fingers through every part and rub hard on the scalp or top of your head then rinse...conditioner..if you have thin hair only use conditioner at the top of your hair like not under your hair and rinse) then brush your hair while its wet but dont blow dry it! just leave it to dry but brush it often so it wont get messy. And if its still poofy what ever you do DONT use a hair straightener because it take all the moister out of your hair and leaves it dry. dont use hair gell either because it wont help. brush your hair wuite often and start at the top of your head and brush downwards although dont brush all your hair backwards but just simply straight down. If that dont help you should go to a hair salon or something! hope t was enouigh help! remember no hair straighteners or blow dryers(unless u need to dry you hair quick when you blow dry your hair DONT do it upside down and use a brush and brush downwards while the hair dryer dries it on the way down too but try and not use one as much as you can) well best of lucks!! %26lt;3 =]

Poofy hair? (I'll vote best answer)?

Us a conditioner that has coconut oil in it like Pro-line conditioner you can get it at Walgreens for $3.00

What gel should i use to scrunch my hair with?

Actually, you do not need a comercial gel at all. Go to the fridge and get the following: Crisco, maple syrup, a flat Coke (not Pepsi, it lacks red dye number 5), a 40 of Colt 45. Take 3 teaspoons of Crisco and mix with 1 tsp of the maple syrup. Next, take the flat coke (you will need a dauber) and add 3 drops to the mix. Shotgun the Colt 45 and then eat the potion. In the morning your hair will be gone and your gel dilema will be no more.

...Jen...

I use Garnier Fructise "wet looks" gel, it leaves the hair looking wet all day, thus also laying like it does when it's wet, and I also use mousse which I think any one will do...

Healthy hair?

What's considered healthy hair? I mean like I just want to know 'cause it's been a year since my hair used to be really short and I'd spike it with gel and since it's been a year it's the length to my chin, but it's not all even yet. Since it feels like it's been a while since my hair has been long I was wondering if it was healthy?

Healthy hair?

Healthy hair can be natural or chemically treated. Do you use professional products? If not you could have a build up on your hair. Do you use a deep conditioner? Do you have curly hair, it is naturally more dry. Do over process your hair (colours/perms), if yes it could be more dry. I am a hair stylist and it would be hard to say without seeing/touching your hair, I suggest you go to a hair salon and ask what they think and recommend! If you stretch a hair shaft (while wet) and it is able to stretch about 50% AND return to normal, your hair is in good shape.

Healthy hair?

hair doesnt grow evenly. you need to get it trimmed every 4-6 weeks to get rid of the split ends. also use professional products.they wont leave a build up on your hair like over the counter shampoos and conditioners.

Healthy hair?

As long as you use gels from a salon that a stylist recommends and are water soluble you're OK on that front.

A good gage on hair health is, without any product in your hair, does your hair shine? If it shines - its pretty healthy.

Also, you can check your 'tinsel strength'. That means to take one strand of hair between both pointer fingers and thumb and pull it just a little. See if it stretches. If it stretches a little - its healthy.

Truly, as long as you keep your hair clean and use the right products that don't clog the hair follicle...you're fine - gels and all.

Healthy hair?

I think I would be the perfect person to answer this question. I have really really really long hair. It is naturally dirty blonde and goes down to my tail bone. I just cut 8 inches of it off two weeks ago. :) Any way, what is healthy hair? Healthy hair is hair that has not been touched with any hair color treatments, or perms, it has no split ends, and is not dry. But, what you could do and should do is go get it styled so it doesn't look shaggy. Trimming it a lot helps to prevent split ends. Also, if you do color it, be sure to use a deep conditioner. The deep conditioner also helps dry hair. But, short hair doesn't mean its not healthy. It would have to be looked at. If you really really want to know, go into a salon and ask them. They should be able to tell you. But make sure you use gentle shampoos and conditioners. I use and have been using Herbal Essence shampoo the old Rose Hip one, for the past 9 years! I live by it! It is gentle to my hair and cleans it really well, and for conditioners I use Pantene Pro V for smooth and sleek hair.

Any way, this has been one of my favorite questions! :) I love my hair! lol I started off with really short hair, it was traumatic. I wish I could have enjoyed it like you and spiked it, but, I was soo upset. The woman that cut my hair went nutty and must have had some therapy on my hair. Don't let a woman going through a divorce touch your hair!! lol...

:)

Take care.

Hope this helped.

Healthy hair?

HeLLo...

...length doesn't necessarily mean healthy...if your hair isn't shedding outside of what it's normally supposed to shed and it is shiny and strong and the ends aren't all split up then that is healthy hair...I see women all the time with longer hair but they need a good 2 inches removed due to damaged and split ends...

I have a very dry and semi-curly hair ( too wavy). In the morning?

I have to use a hair dryer to make it a little bit straight and then i use wet gel over it but I get these flying ugly looking hair everywhere.. How to manage the frizzy hair?

I have a very dry and semi-curly hair ( too wavy). In the morning?

You can buy the roller dryer, it is like a roller hair curler with brush, you brush your hair while drying it...they are selling it in informercial, I think you can get it from Watsons, it works well.

I have a very dry and semi-curly hair ( too wavy). In the morning?

I have frizzy hair %26amp; I manage it by either straightening it in the morning or simply just pulling it back into a ponytail.

How can I curl m y hair?

My hair was really long amd thick so and I could not curl it so I got it cut and layered but now I can not curl it!!!

I have a curling iron and it works on my sisters hair but not mine. It sucks. I have tried hairspray and gel but it does not work. My curling iron was not exactly cheap and I only got it a month ago. I really need help. I can straighting my hair and all and it works perfectly. Its impossible!!!

Please help

How can I curl m y hair?

I dont have thick hair, buti have straight hair and it doesnt hold curls well. I have tried to curl my hair once for a wedding and i actually didnt wash my hair that morning. If i have any sort of shampoo/conditioner or product the hair wont keep the curl. You kinda have to wash your hair the night before and maybe that will work.

I know there are some sprays you can use before you heat style that may keep the curl. If not, i would try rollers. I am contemplating trying that b/c my hair just wont curl.

I am guessing the curlers would be in your head longer than a curling iron, im hoping at least lol , and that might help to keep the curl. Also, before taking the rollers out spritz with a little bit of hair spray, then once you take the rollers out spritz again. Good Luck!

How can I curl m y hair?

hi, i had straight hair all my life,now after radiation it is half curly and half straight . what i find very useful is hot rollers. and if you don't have any you can always find a set at most thrift stores. if you are worried about them being sanitary just place in boiling water before use. make sure they are hot then after you put them in your hair, use hair spray, let cool then remove and spray again. i like to just mess it up a bit with my fingers then i have a tousled look.
