SUMMARY: 1) Your hair can't be too long. Her hair was waist length and weighed her roots down, is now 'bra strap length'. 2) Use dry texturizing shampoo to help give lift and volume to combat oil. her fav is in the description. 3) Get roots very clean, moisturize ends. shampoo is in description. Don't put moisturizer on roots. 4) Bleached hair absorbs oil better. Don't overdo it and damage your hair beyond no return but if considering highlights it will also help with oil and help your hair style better. 5) If hair is extremely healthy (not colored/processed) and you want to curl your hair put in minimal conditioner and no leave ins or sprays. Your fine, virgin, straight, healthy, hair doesn't need any moisture or oils, that will only relax the curls. 6) Mousse is better than hairspray. A lot of hairspray on fine hair creates crunch and mats. Mousse more touchable and effective. Flexible hold hairspray after is okay, not firm hold. 7) Go with smaller barrel when curling because you know your hair will loosen up anyway. 8) Curling hair before styles (braiding etc) gives volume and helps styles hold. Braids look different with curled hair, more 'bubbly' and voluminous. 9) Pomade better than oil better for frizzy ends bc it won't loosen the curl like oil would. very damaged ends could use a tiny bit of oil on the very very ends.

The brand system professional volume line, is a GAME CHANGER for fine oily straight longer hair I've been using it for 5 months now, and my hair has never looked better You only use a very small amount, dime size, for medium/long hair of shampoo. I have to wash my hair 5 times a week, because of gym. And do the hair mask once a week, to once every 2 weeks. And use the mousse after every shower. The mousse us actually a conditioner. It is a little pricey, and the bottles are small. But like I said, a little goes a very very long way. I learned the hard way the first use and spent 5 min trying to get all the product out. Haha. One bottle of shampoo lasted me 4 months. And I am still on my first tub of hair mask, 5 months in. The areolifter(mousse) lasts about 3/4 months depending if used after every shower, etc. But total game changer I get it from my stylist, but I believe it is available at Ulta now.

My hair is so fine to the point where when I see someone with your hair type I just think it's normal hair cause my perspective is skewed. I guess no one with extremely fine hair does videos like that because eventually you just make peace with the fact that wigs might be your only option. Especially when it's also thin and silky on top of being fine. When you said 'your long hair was heavy' - can't relate: D. I don't even know what that means. The only positive things I can say about it - it dries in no time, I never feel hot because of my hair, it doesn't feel heavy now at below shoulders length and didn't feel heavy when it was tailbone length. It's practical but probably the least attractive healthy hair type on the planet.

This is great advice for people with this type of hair like myself I can confirm that these techniques will work No hair stylist has been able to help me and it took years for me to discover these things on my own. You have saved young people with this hair type years of struggling and disappointment. There is just one other thing that I have learned for keeping my hair curled. Use setting lotion and steam rollers. Any other method just falls out in about 10 mins or less. I did learn one thing from your video and that is the advice about curling your hair before doing a voluminous braid. I was unsuccessful when I tried this type of braid before. So, I'll try your advice. Thank you

The Herbal Essence shampoo you mentioned has sodium laureth sulfate in it, which is only going to strip your scalp of the healthy oils and kick your oil production in to OVERDRIVE in order to make up for the damage. Maybe you can only go 2 days between washings (even with hardcore dry shampoo) bc you're using products with that ingredient. :( The Kristen Ess one is good and free from that harmful scalp-stripping crap. Once you go a few weeks without using sulfates, you'll find the hair lasts longer and longer as your scalp gets used to not kicking its oil in to overdrive.

Omg no one will read this but. this type of hair is almost exactly mine. I thought I was crazy lol. I kept telling my cousin who's a stylist that I don't have that smooth Barbie hair that keeps a style. It's pretty fine and gets heavy easily with products or oils/touching. The best thing I've done is what you said: cutting it a little shorter, but also I've gotten my hair less oily by washing it only about twice a week, whereas years ago I would wash it pretty frequently. but my hair is still very virgin (I don't want to damage it) so it's still a bit flat.

I used to have very oily hair and had to wash it almost everyday, I ended up spending a whole summer only washing my hair with water (sounds crazy I know, scalp massages, and a boar bristle brush theres vids on it, and it has been so helpful, and for a bit it was greasy (why i did it over the summer) but it made my hair so much healthier and it hasnt been greasy since ( i started using shampoo and conditioner again) definitely recommend if you can get yourself through the greasy stage (hats, constarch/cocoa powder, and scarves are your best friend)

which hair iron would you recommend for someone to super fine and bristle hair? I have been searching for one of the best one in the market but still havent found the ideal one. My hair is really fine and I dont want to damage it/burn it with an iron as the one I was previously using. I am trying to let my hair grown and get thicker. Since about 8 months ago I dont use any heat in my hair and I definitely can see a huge improvement. However I would like to do my hair at least once a week or in special occasions.

Hey kayley I was wondering if you know why hair changes colour on its own with sun absorption. in the winter/fall my hair is dark brown with red in it and it looks really red in direct sunlight but in the spring/summer its this golden caramel blonde colour. its still dark brown mostly but especially in direct sunlight its looks like a dirty blonde shade and I have never had any colour or anything done to my hair other than cutting it and occasionally heat styling it
