I can't believe it!

Hi Jenna,Absolutely. A hairstylist can thin out the heavier, thicker parts of your mom's hair. If your mom decides to wear it all one length, they can thin the hair on the sides, in the back or even add some light layers to make it less heavy.However, are you sure that your mom wants to have her hair thinned? Did you see Noreen's hair and how thick it is? It is absolutely gorgeous.http://www.hiredguns.com/longhair/tips/tip038a.htmTell your mom congratulations and best wishes with her hair growing.Thanks for the great feedback. It made me smile. :-)Karen> Hi All!> Well for awhile now I have been coming to the Hair B.> My mom has seen my dedication with my hair growth and> I have shared some insightful tips that have been> posted by all.

I also have thick heavy hair and it frizzes and both thinning and layers were disasters for me. The thinning shears were particularly bad. They work by cutting maybe 1/2 of the hairs in each stroke... well that leaves you with a lot of shorter hairs up higher and thinner ends... but if your hair frizzes, all those short hairs on the top that don't have a lot of weight frizz worse. Yuck... You end up with hair that's full and frizzy near the crown and around your face, that looks all straggly at the ends.I've been happier with my hair all the same length... the weight tends to "pull out" a lot of the fullness and makes it more manageable.-jj
