Hi,

I have fine hair but a hairdresser said I had a lot of hair. It is wavy and it gets very oily. I have to wash it every day or it looks oily. Does anyone have this combination of hair and if so how have you delt with it? All I want is beautiful shiny hair. I do not care what color or if it is straight or anything. I would love to have it very long though. I love long hair. It is currently at my bra strap. All I have done to it is added some blond highlights to my medium brown hair. I also have long layers cut in the ends. I would love to hear from someone on how to take care of hair like this. It always looks boring. It just lays there and sort of clumps together. The only time it looks good is after it is brushed. The waves just make it look messy like I just rolled out of bed. I have thought about maybe dying it all over just to dry it out so it would not get so oily but I worry about it damaging it to much. At one time I had a perm and I loved it. It looked great and it was no longer oily because it dried it out but how do you keep a perm? If you perm over the old permed hair it ruins it. I tried cutting layers and just perming the new hair on the top layers. That sort of worked but eventually the old perm went so flat that it looked bad. I gave up and now it is gone. That was a long time ago. If anyone has had success with fine, wavy, oily type hair please let me know what to do. Or if anyone has any suggestions.

Thanks,
Julia

Hi Julia,

I thought I was reading a bio of my own hair. I too have thin but lots of it, curly long hair. My trick with color is to use a least three colors in it when highlighting. This causes an optical illusion of having thick hair. The lightest pieces on the top and as the foils go down the head placing alittle more dark and even more of the lowlight as you reach the bottom. Your professsional colorist should understand this procedure and can help you achieve this goal.

As far as daily care, My hair also can be very oily. I shamppoo everyday. I alternate between Redken Allsoft and Redken Extreme shampoos. All soft replaces the moisture that the coloring and the natural curl leaves our hair in. The extreme shampoo replaces the proteins that is zapped by coloring and heat drying. I would use conditoner also. They both have very good matching conditioners.

Another to try is found on this website called Curl friends. I have tried it and it works very well.

Best wishes to my hair twin
