Any Suggestions For My Fine, Flyaway Hair?

Hmmmmm i do have curly/rather waivy hairs, but i dont have that long hairs. so best solution for me to keep in tidy, other thing they are bit hard so once i comb in morning after bath, thet stay like this For u the best advise i would like to have is just stop worying about them as they look in either ways Take care

there are some ways that i can suggest.. cheapest : stay away from pony tails too much..esp twriling your hair twice and putting tail creating your hair to summed upward. cheaper: there are shampoo that really tame fly away hair..it really helps to use conditioner after costly: go to salon and have treatments like hot oil or spa or wax..this really helps.. i have also long hair and becoz i am really busy to go to salon i settle for number 1 and 2 suggestions. but whenver possible i really got to salon to get my hair done..

I have found a good volume shampoo and conditioner can help a little, I also hot rod my hair as it is long but the hot rodding seems to make it a bit thicker looking...

Here's a little tip that works for me. My hair is very thick, but this also works for gals with fine hair. If you've got long hair, shoulder length, pull up the hair into a big pony tail on the very top of your head. Not at the back or nape of your head, but on the crown top. Fasten with a scrunchy or covered elastic. Do this right after washing your hair. Or, blow dry and put up on top of your head. You can wear your hair like this around the house until it's dry or go to sleep with your hair up. In the morning when your hair is dry, take out the pony tail, comb through and you'll have extra body to your roots with no chemicals. The puffed effect lasts a long time! To restore the effect, bend at the waist, comb hair forward toward the ground, spray a light mist of hair spray on back of hair. Brush though. Puff returns! I use this trick all the time, and get gorgeous model like hair. And usually no kind of product works on my hair to keep it lifted, cause it's so heavy. This does! Best of luck!

I would recommend trying a few mousses, my sister used to fly away hair and if she was going somewhere special then I would put a bit mousse in it and it would stop it from being as fly away and it would not look greasy or over producted. If that does not do the trick then try some serum as it is denser than a mousse but if you put too much in it will look greasy. Play around with different brands and you will find something for you.

Hi pyewacket, My sister has the same problem,no matter what she does, she even goes to hair saloon and they can't nothing her. My hair has kink and I hate it. Bless Tamarafireheart.

I would love to see that picture of you, and I am going to after I get away from the e-mail. I have heavy hair, and it has seemed in the past to get really frizzy in the summer. If I kept it long it also just seemed to get wider and bigger. I have it long again, and I am using Shaklee hair care products, and that is seeming to do the job for me. It is full, and wavy, but it is not frizzing up in the humidity any more. I have a dealership, with my hubby, so I have to try the different products. I was very pleasantly surprised with it. I would not like to use hairspray all of the time either. I have in the past used aloe vera gel, a clear kind, on my hair. It does not plaster down like hair gels but it does hold it lightly. I do not know if you get the same products we do here.

have to look at pic but I still use hair spray myself mostly to keep in place when its windy and that is most of the time!

I used to use a hot oil treatment once a month or so when my hair got sun/chlorine damaged. My hair is very short now, but I use a volumizing conditioner, which seems to make it smoother but it is not as flat. And this is going to sound crazy, but I started parting it in a different place. The hair wants to go back to the old place and it adds volume to the top of my head. Not a lot, I don't look like dolly parton but I don't have a flat head either.

I recommend that you buy a shampoo designed to correct the problem. A good one is called Infusium, especially the leave in conditioner. * http://www.totalbeauty.com/reviews/product/6025151/infusium-moistureologie-shampoo

Sorry can't help you there Darkwing. I wish I had straight fine hair. I have to use a straightening iron to get that look as my hair is frizzy and curly. I hope you found something/s that works for you.

I really couldn't see the pic very well but I think that mullen would help some. My Grandmama had very fine hair that she rinsed with a solution she had from the plant. She would say her hair would fly to the moon without it. http://www.altnature.com/gallery/mullien.htm xoxooxxoxoxo

Hi Darkwing...I haven't been here much for the past few months. I miss you and others here but summer, the garden and more free lance writing assignments has kept me away. Anyway, thanks for thinking of me...I loved your e-mail! In regard to your fine, flyaway hair. I read your discussion and did not see any mention of the type of conditioner you use...if any. My hair is fine with a natural curl. I also color it and always use a good quality shampoo and conditioner for color treated hair. I perfer L-Oreal and they include a good condition with the colorant that I use once a week. Every time I shampoo I use a conditioner and there are some out there for fine hair. Have you tried those? In my experience my fine hair is always flyaway and unruly if I do not condition it. I also use leave in conditioners once a month and I have found applying a gel product while my hair is wet keep the frizzies away as well. A good cut can help as well. So those are my suggestions. I will check back for updates to see if you have found something that works. Cheers and big huggers! Raia

Hi Darkwing-Try hair serum you only need a little in your hand rub your hands together til it feels like its runny then stroke it rhrough your hair then brush it your hair it should then be smooth-and not fly away-bright blessings littleowl

I have the same problem it is thinning as I grow older, teasing hair used to make it fill out, also having it cut in layers, years ago there were shampoos with beef marrow in them and that helped.

I've got the same problem. I found that when I got it cut shorter, it looks fuller, and looks like I have more hair. The only thing that I use that makes it look a little fuller is some mousse.

I'll answer this now because since I'm getting this through email I can not see the pic. I will respond again after looking. xoxoxoxoxo

Hey Darkwing, My girls use electric hair straighteners on their hair. One daughter has thin,fine flyaway curls and the other has thick can-sometimes-look-almost-bushy kind of hair. When they use the straighteners you would not think they had a curl on their head at all. They can wash, dry, and straighten in the evening and do a touch-up straighten in the morning and they are good to go. They don't use any special shampoos or conditioners.

hi darkwing, there's a saying-hair today,gone tomorrow-but u are lucky to have been blessed with such lovely hair-so let it be like that-dont try too much,since too much is too bad-if you can keep ur hair looking good naturally,there's nothing like it!dont use artificial means like hair spray,etc-they will do more harm than good!

Hi, I have a similar problem, the only difference is my hair is auburn so in the sunlight it looks like it's been set on fire. I've managed to solve my candy floss problem by weighing it down with a drop of oil while it's still wet... also before washing, i rub in some olive oil and leave it in for an hour or so... it keeps my hair under control.
