Thread: Is thin hair always bad?

I get what you're saying but I fear I may look worse with short hair. Like I said, my head is big, and my face is round, and short styles usually don't flatter that type of head. Plus I've talked to my male friends, we have a female friend who got a pixie cut and they all agreed she's one of the few girls who can pull it off, but that she looked prettier with longer hair because men like long hair better.

It has crimped plates that add texture to your hair without needing to add chemicals or tease. Just make a crimped layer at your crown underneath your top layer. It will add great lift and its really fast and easy to do!

Good luck and stay confident!

Was just going to say the same thing.... No need to feel self conscious. Try some shoulder length (or better) styles. Best of luck.

I understand exactly how you feel. I have long hair and it was thinning so badly I thought I would have to cut it off - but not anymore!

I found some vitamins have helped me amazingly and who knows.. maybe your body is just low in these too.

One is made by a multi-vitamin company and it's actually called 'Hair, Skin & Nails' and also the vitamin Biotin is often recommended for strengthening hair.
Ask at your chemist/drug store for more information.

I'm glad to say I can see my hair has gotten stronger and it's not falling out anymore

Hope this helps.

My hair is genetically pretty thin and fine too, except the top half of my hair is coarse(weird i know) but it has been falling out for years. I started using this homeopathic oil and it really works and my hair doesn't fall out anymore. But if that isn't your issue i can't do anything to help you.
It's a matter of just accepting it. Or wearing a wig. Life is sad, i know, my hair probably looks worse than yours so don't worry. We want what we don't have. Just think, thick hair takes forever to be cut and blow dried....ours dries so fast!!

No thin hair is not always bad! And there are certain things you can do to volumize it if you want it to appear thicker. First, there are tons of volumizing shampoos and conditioners out there. Also, I have a U-Smooth texturizing iron (its like a crimper) and I crimp close to my roots to add lift and volume. You could also use a volumizing root powder, I like Kevin Murphy's powder puff. Also, teasing at your roots adds lift!

Don't get down, just work with what you have naturally

Thin hair without hair fall means healthy hair. It doesn't mean that when we have thin hair, its not good. My thin hair is due to my mom's genes. Just be confident that your hair is healthy.

I also had thinning of the hair and hair loss my hair did stop growing. My nails are very thin and weak. My nails break off in chunks. I do believe some of the problems with my nails is do to medication. As it stands, I cannot grow my nails. they are very thin , weak and always very short. My hair has begun to thicken and grow once again.
