Volume is always a challenge for us fineys: Notice the hair tends to lay flat against my head. I have fine hair, but do not have a decrease in density. Coarse means the each hair itself is very fat, fine means each hair is very skinny. Texture refers to the size of each hair shaft. Thick means a very large number of hairs in an area, thin means very few hairs. "Density refers to the number of hairs in an area, usually expressed as in a square inch. Thin hair means there are not that many hair follicles or there has been a decrease in them because of hormones, medications, medical conditions, sometimes age, damage, etc. Fine hair is where the individual strands are very thin, but there is no decrease in the amount of them. I think we are confusing "fine" hair with "thin" hair. If I ever find out I'll definitely post about it! :) I do believe that hormonal changes and nutritional changes play a big role in thinning hair/making it finer, but what I haven't found a good (in my opinion) answer to is whether this can be reversed by changing those elements. So my point is, I don't think this is a hard and fast issue. When my hair is up no one has any clue as to how long it is. It's classic length, so I can also attest to the fact that letting it grow long does next to nothing to make it seem thick. It wasn't until my late teens/early 20's that it became fine. I used to have thick hair, I got compliments on my thick hair. I could be totally wrong on this, most of what I've read says just what you do, but I just can't make myself believe that hair density is purely genetic. The only natural way to thicken hair is to let it grow longer so that the shorter hairs grow out more and add to the bulk of the longer strands.Ī blunt hemline is a good way to give the illusion of thicker hair. You are born with a certain number of follicles and that is what you're stuck with. You can achieve the illusion of thicker hair with henna (or so I've read) but henna is permanent so tread carefully. But that's my completely unofficial and unscientific opinion! This might also be true of fine-but-curly heads (perhaps Rini and Girlcat can fill me in here). For me it's either flat without cones, or flat with 'em! LOL.ĬO washing isn't for everyone, and I think fine haired people also tend towards needing their scalp washed more often with actual shampoo, probably because the strands lie so close to the scalp that they catch more grease than strands that stand out away from the scalp a bit more. Cones don't make a blind bit of difference to my volume. What works for medium or coarse strands often doesn't work for fine, and vice versa. I find that co washing makes my hair look thicker, anything siliconey makes my hair feel 'smaller'. I was going to reply to Madora, also, that fine haireds have MORE hair strands, but the strands are way finer (obviously!), taking up less space than coarse hair. I actually have techincally thick-ish hair, in that I have a lot of strands, they are just incredibly fine. I will let you know how it turns out :):) It is a very heavy oil - so it felt a bit messy.ģ0 more minutes to go on my honey lightning treatment. But even that I diden´t have the energy to keep up. I did try castor oil on my roots - and a bit on my length. I hope others will have even better ideas :D. But during summer I didn´t have energy for any treatment at all. Cassia once in a while, and a protein treatment every 2 weeks. And I need to do a moisturizing treatment every week. If I stay to a strict routine it is happier and thicker. :confused: And I have tried a bunch of different products. My hair is a bit odd - since it never is really happy. But it is also suppose to have thickening qualities. I prefer my brown tones - so for now I am staying away from henna. The effect is also suppose to be thickening. I am not sure if it will work on my hair. I read in another thread that it will make the effect of cassia even better - and thicken the hair strands. So I think this thread is GREAT! :)Īt the moment I am sitting with a honey lightning treatment that I will follow up with a cassia treatment. I also have very fine/thin hair - and looking for methods to make it appear thicker.
