I don't know that this is a cry for help as much as simply a rant about hating my friggen hair. Feel free to rant along with me. It's fine. That's ok. I can deal with having skinny, gimpy hair strands. It's sorta wavy but can't make up it's mind. Ok. Well, no long hair for me then! It breaks and looks like a haystack once it grows more than 3 inches. Hmm.. well, aveda makes a neat smoothing balm.. I guess. I have cowlicks. Everywhere. And hair devoid of enough weight to combat them. Ok, well, that pretty much sucks then, especially if I need to have short hair from all this other nonesense. I also have a really stupid looking widows peak and a weird directional flow around it that makes it a total chore to style bangs that don't part in the middle, or sweep the front of my hair across my forehead. This requires tons of product and holding my hair in place while I blow-dry the stuff stiff. Oh, and my natural color is the shade of leftover meatloaf. Anyone else? |

My hair grows in strange directions in so many ways-- the bangs stick out if they're done too short or too thin, there are bits at the sides that like to stick out weirdly at certain lengths, bits at the top that'll stand up if not repeatedly coaxed down, cowlicks at the crown that are near-impossible to get to lie flat, etc. The styles I love most I can never do, because of the weird ways my hair grows, so that's very frustrating. But even more frustrating is the fact my already fine, thin hair has been getting finer and thinner over the past few years, despite trying many different things-- even Rogaine-- to try to keep it in my head. So if I don't find a way to stop it, I'll probably eventually end up having to just Matt Lauer it and wear wigs every day or something :-( . I like wigs once in a while, for a change, but I really don't think I could do it every day, especially not in summer! On top of that, I sometimes have bad reactions to peroxide, but not in any predictable fashion, so one day dyeing my hair might cause a head full of sores, while another everything might be fine. So I guess I'll either have to seek out dyes with no peroxide in them, or learn to appreciate my natural mousy-brown hair and not dye it. . . the latter of which I'd really rather not do, as I truly hate my dull natural shade. If there's anything I can actually say I like about my hair, is that it's generally very soft, unless I use the wrong shampoo or hair dye and make it feel rough, which happens sometimes. But when I use a shampoo that agrees with me and a dye that's not too damaging, it can be like silk. If there are any kind words to be said about my very crappy hair, that would be it. ------------- More awesome than a manatee! |

I really hate my hair too and I have for my whole life. I spend a ton of money on it every month and it still doesn't make me happy. I have tried every product, process, style, etc. that you can imagine and very few have done anything for me. I think you just have to accept what is and play up other features. I truly believe that Sharon Stone chopped off her hair because it was a detriment to her looks rather than an asset. She has a lovely face and baby fine, yucky hair. So she made the hair a non-issue. I am trying the same thing and I am actually happier with my hair than I have been in a long time. It is short, layered, and I sort of spike it up with hairspray. It looks OK and I can do it in five minutes. The only problem is when I wear a motorcycle helmet. Then it looks dreadful!! ------------- "It is better to look marvelous than to feel marvelous" Billy Crystal |

| I liked my hair awhile ago when I cut it really short. It looked cute, but as it's starting to grow out I get this really weird part in the back. It looks so strange so every morning when it's wet i have to gel and blow dry it. It's so annoying! |

| I think that's normal. We all hate our hair...or a lot of us do. If you have curly you want straight...if you have straight you want curly. My hair is curly, and now that I have had it straightened a million times...I just want to get it back the way it was. I haven't permed in years and I won't anymore. My hair is weird...I can let it dry curly comb it out and pull it back, then after awhile it will be just kind of wavy. It's breaking off and is a lot thinner up top than it used to be. |

I hate my hair. My hair is about 1 in. past the top of my shoulders. It is very fine, grows at varied speeds depending on the place of my head, and CANNOT be styled or put up without me looking like an idiot. My friends tell me to let it grow out, it will be better once it grows longer, but I know it will get stringy looking if I do. Sometimes I just want to attack my hair so I don't have to put up with it. |

Might I suggest a good talk with a hairstylist? Point out what you want (time spent per day, your preferred length, ... ) and ask hers/his advice. Look at some pictures together. Then leave the salon and sleep on it for a few nights. At that time you can make a sound decision. After the decision ask your stylist how to take care of your hair on daily basis. Even do the finishing yourself in the salon. Then the stylist can point out where there's room for improvement.
Well, there's only one thing to say - is it your hair or your friends? Do they promote long hair all the time, no matter what? Then don't listen to them - they don't take of your hair every day, do they? If they are good friends, they'll respect your decision, whatever it is. And should this mean your friends don't like you anymore, well start thinking about the meaning of the word 'friend'. Always remember: you know what's best for you - asking advice of friends is good; they can point out something you overlooked. Asking advice from pro's is better; they are not emotionally linked to you and can give their honest opinion, based on years of experience. Keep us 'posted'  ------------- |

You know your hair better than anyone. If you know it gets stringy or sticks up or does whatever at a certain length, avoid that length and go with something that works for you. If you get a good cut and learn to style it well, your friends will come around and tell you how nice it looks rather than trying to pressure you into doing what they want.

I don't care whether the strands of my hair are thick or thin, I just wish the volume of it were thicker.

Kuroneko, have you tried MSM supplements? Personally I haven't, but I know that many people report thicker hair after taking MSM. Supposedly it prolongs the growth cycle of the hair (ETA and reduces shedding). ::Hugs:: Anais ------------- http://anaissatin.livejournal.com">  my LJ , 40 inches long

It's an organic sulfur compound that is found in all raw vegetables (and fruits? not sure there). MSM is destroyed when the food is cooked. MSM is supposed to prolong the growth cycle of the hair, reducing shedding. This isn't one of those snake oil remedies either in my opinion. Over on other hair boards, people have had great results and success with MSM. I'm waiting for my mail order catalog to arrive from Puritans, to try MSM for the first time. I'm probably the last of my longhaired friends to jump in on it too ; P Anais ------------- http://anaissatin.livejournal.com"> my LJ , 40 inches long

I haven't tried that, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to look into it. I've tried most everything else at one time. I'll have to try to find it by itself, though, as so far I've only ever seen it with like glucosamine or something in it. Might have to look in health stores. . . and just hope it's not too expensive, or I'l gonna be SOL :-P . . . ------------- More awesome than a manatee! |

I think I'll try it too. I too have tried everything else but hey, what can it hurt. I could use the glucosamine too (creaky joints and all that). How do you find it on the internet. Just do a search on MSM? I'll let you know what I find out and if it works. ------------- "It is better to look marvelous than to feel marvelous" Billy Crystal |

Hi Just found this site... I have the world's worst baby-fine hair, too. Full of cowlicks,and just enough wave to drive me crazy. Even worse, one side of my head has twicew the thickness of the other side--AND goes in a totally opposite direction. Translation--can't do a part in the middle. I take great vitamins, so I don't lack shine, and it grows quickly to lessen the horror of "bad" haircuts. The other day, after 5 straight "bad hair" days, I told my stylist to "do whatever you want" Translation--short, choppy, hair. Which looks great on paper, but try to style it the day after it's cut--AAAUUUGGGHHH!!! So I returned to the salon, where my stylist toild me she would "tweak" my style free of charge--which she does for those of us who go from long to short. She's terrific! But she was horrified at what my hair looked like--since it looked so fab when I left the salon the salon 2 days earlier. Of course, SHE spent an hour styling it. This process repeated 2 more times. I now have a super-short pixie with ultra shorts bangs and the back shaved up to my ears. I never would have dreamed of going this short, but at least I proved to my stylist that "long layers" or "choppy haircuts with different lengths" don't work with my hair. Even with hair this short, I still need a heavy gel to get it styled in a way that's presentable. Thankfully, the man in my life likes short hair--because his hair is longer than mine.! Yes, fine hair sucks--so I just cut mine off. I'm now on a diet to see if I dare togo shorter--maybe a long buzz cut--we'll see.

Hi! I'm new here and this thread caught my eye right away. Girls...fine hair, and hair that is a little "unruly", is BEAUTIFUL. It is very, very unique. What could be more romantic or saucy than hair that just won't be tamed? Wisps that brush your face when you turn your head, like faerie hair? Our hair is like us...it does its own thing and it won't be tamed into anyone else's ideal. I have hated my hair for 37 years but for the beginning of my 38th I have vowed to love my hair (and everything about myself). I used to hate the fact that my hair will do literally whatever it wants, whenever it wants, even if I follow "instructions" to the letter. Now I think it's fun to have a different look every day. Also, having wisps that just won't lie down politely (LOL) has forced me to enter the World of Buying Hair Thingies...and that is FUN FUN FUN...a tiny clip here, a tiny clip there, and it looks like I TRIED to make it look messy.  I had it blunt for years and I also colored it, but the color is all out now (that took three solid years) and I just got a long-layered modified "shag". At first I thought, "I don't look like the picture I showed the hairstylist...darn it!" but two days later I'm thinking, "I don't look like the picture I showed the hairstylist...yay!" I would place money that all the people who responded here look a thousand times better than they think they do. We are always hard on ourselves; that's human nature. Love your fine hair. :) Remember...faerie wisps, faerie wisps, faerie wisps. (Chant it with me...) So anyway, nice to meet you all... ------------- Mels |

I have to respond first to Lorryann. I feel your pain honey. I too just cut most of my already short hair off into what was supposed to be a short, sexy, spikey cut. It was all that when I left the salon but what a mess the next day! I went back three times and even went to a new stylist and after a month and a new cut I like it a little better. I got a lot of wonderful advise from the short hair board folks but I think I may have to grow this mess back out. I hate being dependent on so many products and my hair feels like straw. And windy, humid days (of which there are a lot where I live) send me into a panic. I hate the thought of the blunt bob but it sure was easy. Now Goddess, you surely do have a marvelous attitude. I was thinking of growing out all my color too. It is so expensive and time consuming to maintain. And with hair this short why not? My husband has never done a darn thing to his hair and he looks great. Why not me? I don't know that I'll have the courage though. I am always searching for the perfect style--easy to maintain and fabulous looking. I think most of us with fine hair, especially if it is very thin, were taught early on that our hair was lacking somehow. I remember mine being referred to in hushed tones by various relatives as "pitiful." So no matter what has happened in the 45 years since, I still feel like I have pitiful hair. I think you are right though. Most of us probably look much better than we think we do. If you spend this much time worrying about your hair you are probably caring for it pretty well. Welcome to the boards. We are happy to have you here. This is a really wonderful community.

Thank you for the welcome, DemoDoll! Yes, I got the same thing when I was younger. My mother was constantly telling me if I wanted to keep "that" long (meaning below my ears) I would "have to" have a perm. Otherwise it would "just lie there". Hello, Mom, what was it supposed to do? Jump up and start dancing? Like you, it became ingrained that I "just couldn't" do certain things with my hair. Now I'm like, Why not? What on earth do I have to lose? You can surely try growing out your hair if you want. You can even try being quirky and sticking a bunch of tiny clips in it and letting it just go wild under that. (That's usually my M.O.!
Anyway, thanks for the welcome!

My hair is naturally a color mostly referred to as "mousy brown." I am nearly 50 so I am sure it has some gray in it too. I wish it was all gray. Then I would certainly grow it out but I think it is still mostly mousy brown. But who would know at this point. I have been coloring it since 1976. ------------- "It is better to look marvelous than to feel marvelous" Billy Crystal |

Hi Demodoll(and everyone else), Thanks for your support. But all is not a disaster here. I actually LOVE my new haircut, which is now even shorter than before. My stylist left the bangs & front a bit longer because I was apprehensive, but now it's all cut super-short. My bangs are cut to the top of my forehead & the rest of my hair has been buzzed to 3/4 inch length. So great for the summer months!! This style is not for everyone, but for me, with my awful hair (which looks God-awful when its unruly, I'm glad I finally had the guts to cut it off and ignore the trends towards long hair).I actually hear that the trend is going more towards really short hair--so this is great!!! Peace to all

I hope the trends are going really short! Things have been really long for several years now so it is time for the pendulum to swing back. So fine hair does better really short huh? Mine is about 2" long all over with longer bangs and I am having an awful time styling it--it actually takes longer than before when it was about 4" all over. I don't know how it would do if it were shorter--I am afraid to try.

MSM products? Never heard of them? I'm thinking of Rogaine for women. My hairstylist keeps mentioning it. I'm only 36 but you can see the top of my scalp depending on how the hair falls. If I was a blonde it wouldn't be such a big deal. Maybe I should spraypaint my scalp a brownish colour. |

I used Rogaine (or a generic of, anyway) for eight months, by my hair only got thinner while using it :-( . So either my problem isn't genetic thinning, or I'm one of the people it just doesn't work for :-( . Although I have heard that you really have to use the 5% minoxidil if you want it to do anything. . . and they only market that towards the men :-P . . . I've wondered if it would hurt anything if I used the men's extra-strength, but I've been reluctant to try, after the women's kind did nothing to help. ------------- More awesome than a manatee! |

yeah, the thought of taking medicine (which truely hasn't been around
long enough to know the long-term effects of) scares me. I have
tried a topical solution from the Health Food Store but alas, no
difference. My hair dresser bought me some shampoo & conditioner (Nioxin) which she said worked on her balding boyfriend. I have been noticing it for a few months and didn't notice a difference. However, she said the way to check is to go up close to the mirror, part your hair anywhere and you'll see a bunch of hairs that are only an inch or two long (depending how long you've been using it). I did see a bunch of new growth so was pretty excited. But is this new growth always there or is it a direct result of this product? |

Lately, I've become more frustrated with my hair. It is thick, but very fine and long. I can't do much with it. I have no idea what style would work for my type of hair, so I don't style it. I just wash it and let it hang! I'm bored with it and nothing seems to work. It won't even hold when I tried to clip it up like I see a lot of girls doing.

I absolutely HATE my hair. In summer, my hair is a combination of oily roots and flyaway ends, and it frizzes like mad. They almost floats aimlessly around my head, in all different dirrections. Ok, then i used shampoos which smoothens hair and tames frizz, they did what they promised, however, they weigh my baby fine hair down. My hair just sticks flat to my head and looks limp. I have thought about using a volumizing shampoo but I'm afraid that it doesn't control my frizz. Not to mention that my hair is extra thin...and it is actually THINNING. 30 strands fall out a time i comb through my hair, and I've a really bad scalp. In summer it is oily and itchy, in winter, it is dry but still itchy. I've spend tons of money trying out different hair care products, but none of them really helps, some even make the situation worse.
Simply saying, my hair is fine thin and limp thinning frizzy flyaway hair with oily scalp coated with dandruff. Also...just forgot to mention that my hair grows sooooooooo slowwwwwwwwwwlyyyyyyy. Six months ago I had my haircut, there isn't any great difference in the length of my hair now...wtf... What can I do?!?!?! ------------- I found myself today... |

I have just started to appreciate my hair after all these years. (I'm 19) When I was younger, I had straight hair that was thick, yet baby fine textured. I hated it so much. I wanted curly or even wavy hair really badly. I thought my hair was so boring. I would wear it in braids a lot so when I took it down, it would be wavy. Then I hit puberty and my hair became very wavy , even thicker than it was, and a frizzy mess. I would straighten it and completely regretted ever wishing for curly hair. Finally, I got sick of dealing with straightening my extremely thick hair so I had it chopped off. My hairstylist cut it in layers, and told me to put some gel in and blow dry with a diffuser to make it curlier. I love it now. It's so much easier to deal with. I have come to love my waves and curls. ------------- DANGER! I drive like you do. |

I am really surprised at the amount of people who hate their hair. I absolutely love mine (mostly) I decided long ago to quite fighting my hair, so started wearing it long and sleek, fine hair is truly in a class by itself. Mine has always been silky soft and shiny. People die for this look and it comes naturally. I do have a couple of cowlicks that I have to deal with everyday, I simply rewet them and blow dry them where I want them. Works for me. My only problem now is wanting a little body as I am getting older it is getting thinner, but I am looking into rollers. ------------- If God is for you who can be against you? |

won't work out. The longer it gets, the more it becomes thicker, wavy,

Someone tell me, if you're in the shower, and gather hair to one side like a low side ponytail, hold it with one hand and slide your closed hand over it, if some hairs come out? Just one or two a day. I don't brush as often as I used to so I am hoping it is just the leftover hair that used to end up in my brush. People supposedly lose up to 100 a day, and I've only counted losing about seven or eight that end up in my hands when styling. Is this normal? I can totally freak myself out for no reason sometimes. *sigh*. Fine hair AND a hypochondriac. Fantastic. |

My hair is very fine and thin although i do have a lot of it. i had it to the middle of my back but it looked stringy and wouldn't style for anything so i completely chopped it off. Now it looks even worse. i'm trying to grow it out but, of course, it's taking forever. I've heard that taking certain vitamins helps hair grow faster. Has anyone tried that? Does it really work? I look like a guy. It's awful!! |

I don't know if you're still looking for an answer ... I see nobody replied ... I am pretty sure this is NORMAL! It happens to me too and it sure seems like a whole lot more than seven or eight! I'm the same as you -- fine hair and hypo! Ha, ha! At least you're not alone! |

My hair aggravates me so much, sometimes I just want to rip it out!! I appreciate it every now and then, though...sometimes I look in the mirror and I'm like "Wow, my hair looks really good!" |
, but of course, the next time I wash and style it I'll be cursing it because it wants to do its own thing! It's a vicious love-hate cycle...

I also detest my fine hair it breaks & becomes dry for no
reason I treat it like gold & it re-pays me by being terrible, I
have a cowlick on my rightside in the front that causes a long fringe
to go haywire. Colouring is a nightmare my re-growth never goes light enough unless I use a little bleach even as I am a natural level 6  & if colour overlaps the hair breaks.My hair is sort of ok on the 2nd day after a wash but on the day of washing it's a miserable frizz ball. On the upside in Summer it grows like crazy. End Rant ------------- |

OMG I have the worse fine hair I have ever seen. Its so straight and fine and sparse. I have so much breakage that their are little hairs sticking out all over the place. It has never been longer than my shoulders. Right now their are a few hairs that are almost to my shoulders. I don't color it, perm it, or style it. I try to be as gentle as possible, eat well and take my vitamins, but noooooooo its still as ugly as ever. Did I mention to top it off I have a big swirly cowlick on top of my head in the back, it makes it look like I have a big bald spot AND instead of growing outward in the back the shafts point down what little hair I have their lays flat to my head. Sooooo pretty. |

ALLTAURUS I have the same cowlick at the back of my head that also
makes me look like I have a bald spot as it swirls all the wrong way
