But here is my hair saga: Okay, when I was in middle school I used to have amazingly thick hair. It was almost too thick. I also had a lot of dandruff. I had my hair cut into layers and it just poofed and was really thick and it was like that for a couple years into high school until some girls I befriended started giving me hair tips. I started using conditioners and got my hair cut into all one length- a bob cut and then had it grow out- I also grew out my thick bangs.

 

I'm 24 now- so it has been about 10 years since then and my hair is TOTALLY different. It is much thinner than it used to be. I get really paranoid about the thinness. Also my hair used to be much wavier. But now it is straight. I try to sometimes style it wavy but it never holds and just gets stringy. Having researched about hair on the net, I would describe my hair as being moderately abundant but very fine- which makes it seem thin.

 

So sorry for the long story but do you have any input of what happened to my hair? Is it natural for hair texture to change from 14 to 24? And my most important question: Will long layers make my hair thinner- or would it be good for it? (Make it have more volume, easier to style wavy, etc)

 

I am sorry for the long story but I would greatly appreciate your input! Thanks so much!

 

Many people, including myself, experience the same thing. I used to have alot of hair, which has thinned out through the years. I'm now 31. Just like we loose colagen with age making our skin change, we loose other things that affect our hair. Some people more than others.

 

I always have layers in my hair. Even when I cut it into a bob, I always have them shave layers into it. And when is really long, I usually have the long layers. No, it doesn't make my hair look thinner. It actually gives it more body. Then again, I have a great stylist who is great at cutting hair. So she know exactly what amount of hair to layer and how long to make the layers, so the hair looks full and with volume.

 

If you have a good stylist, she should be able to achieve the look you want for your wedding. Just tell her to keep the layers as long as possible. That way if you don't like them, all you have to do is cut off a couple of inches to make it all one length again. But I really doubt you'll have any problems.

 

I do advice you, that if you are going to get the layers, get them now. Don't wait until is really close to the wedding day. That way if something doesn't look like you expected it, you have plenty of time to look for alternative solutions.

 

Hope this helped. Congratulations on your wedding and wish you everlasting love and happiness.

 

Much love, Shary
