Any Suggestions For My Fine, Flyaway Hair?

Lol... you're getting me confused with another friend here, on Mylot. Pye has dark hair, my friend. Hi anyway!

If your sister has the same problem, it might pay to keep a watch on this discussion, my friend. The salon told me that my hair was perfectly healthy, but it's so difficult to manage, that I need to find a product which will save me using hair spray to hold it in place. I hate hairspray, but constantly have to use it.

With regards your hair, can you not get straighteners to keep the kink from coming back? Brightest Blessings, my friend, and thank you for your contribution.

hi your hair looks pretty, butI if its to fine and straight I say long layers, maybe like a long shag,
if will make your hair lighter. And give it more bounce. Maybe angle it some around the face
kinda like wispy. It would be not a big change but just enough.:) Dj

Hi DarkWing,

Yes, Daisiejane... I've been thinking about having it layer cut, as it will lift it some, and appear to have more body and bounce, as you say.

Thank you for your contribution, my friend, and Brightest Blessings.

Lol Tamara. I guess we all get days like that when our minds are elsewhere. My son once put the teapot full of hot tea in the fridge and the jar of coffee on the tray! Things will seem better tomorrow!

I typoed Razor... like the Pirates of the Carribbean... I was missing the "ARrrrrrrrrrr."

But I don't wish to wear it short. It doesn't suit me at all! I'm thinking about having it layered though, which will lighten it and give it more body, hopefully. I just need something to keep it from ending up a tangled mess when the wind blows.

Brightest Blessings, and thank you for your contribution.

ORyan, you just gave me my best laugh all day. I am glad I stumbled upon your response. Now I will catch my breath, remove the cat from my arm and continue on my merry way.

The only time I wear my hair up is when I go to bed, my friend. Even then, it's very loosely banded, and wound round a bunch of three or four bendy curler thingies. It keeps me from chewing it during the night! I have tried several shampoos, both for flyaway hair and to give more body, and I only use conditioner occasionally, because that tends to make it more lank. The owner of the salon in a local town, told me not to use the combined ones, and to use an actual conditioner as little as possible. So, I'm lost as far as that goes.

Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution.

hmmm...my hair dresser suggest that i will use the conditioner more often than my shampoo///i shampoo not everyday but i conditioned my hair everyday..hmm but it works just fine with me...

girl dont tie your hair when your sleeping that is a big no no no..it will tangle more and that could also be the reason for the fly...freed your hair down and let it rest...pony tails stress the hair...

Ooooops, you got a bit post happy with that one, my friend! You're all at it today... must be the weather!

I'll try leaving it down when I sleep, but I shift about a lot in my sleep and it's tangled anyway in the morning. But... I'll give your suggestions a go... thank you.

Reading this part I will say that I have heard to use a synthetic or satin pillow slip. When my sister became bed ridden and restless a dear friend machine embroidered several silky pillow cases and it did help it not tangle so much.

That's a good idea Gerty as silk or satin is not as absorbent as cotton mixes. Thank you. xx

Wow... they're some great, natural ideas. I normally trim it up myself but have decided on layers, I think. that will put the body and bounce back in it... give it some life. I agree with your statement about chemicals... they none of them do your hair any good, I'm sure.

Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution.

I'm a little wary about having a body perm, because perms tend to dry my hair out even more. I also try not to use a hairdryer unless I'm really short of time, because the heat dries my hair out.

Sorry, I'm not pulling your suggestions apart, but I have tried some of those things before, and still it doesn't work. My hair seems to light and flyaway to use too many chemicals on... hence the problem with the hairspray. I normally just towel dry, then hand scrunch my hair, before leaving it to dry naturally.

Brightest Blessings and thank you for your suggestions., my friend. xx

Awwwww, that's so sweet of you to say so, and I'd love to be without the hairspray, but especially when I've just washed my hair... I NEED it!

Thank you for your contribution and Brightest Blessings.

I have tried a couple of mousses but have yet to find one that moistens my hair. I need something to keep it in check... make it heavier, if you get my drift. There is a mobile hairdresser in the village, whom I have known, through her parents, since she was a child. Her charges are very reasonable, and I've been thinking about asking her to layer my hair, in order to rid myself of any split ends and to give my hair more body and bounce.

Thank you for your suggestions and Brightest Blessings.

I'm sorry, my friend. Those photos used to be normal size but I don't know what happened. Whenever I upload them to Mylot, they seem to come out really small... perhaps they're trying to tell me something? Certainly, if I send them in my e-mails, they come out huge!!! Just another thing to add to the Mylot glitch list, I guess.

I'm trying a "renewal spray" at the moment, which Gabs gave me a little of. It's not too bad, but there's still room for improvement. I can't seem to find the right thing for my hair. Our hairdresser friend recommended a site to me once, but I seem to have mislaid it. She also suggested that perhaps linseed oil might help, I believe. I was hoping she'd be in here, but no show yet. In the meantime, I thought somebody else might have found the perfect product, or natural remedy.

Brightest Blessings, my friend, and thank you for your suggestions. I shall be trying different methods. x

This is one of the things I do all the time, my friend. I wash, condition, towel dry and scrunch my hair up with my fingers, then leave it to dry naturally. Then, whilst I'm doing my make up and getting dressed, I put my hair on the top of my head with a very loose band and curl the ends up with bendy curlers. Then, everything else done, I let it down and brush it into place before spraying both underneath and on top. The spray seems to dry it out though, and one of the responses here, told me that the curling can damage my hair more, as I put it up in the same way at night. So, I'm trying only to put it up for a short while, when I'm about to go out.

I'm trying a renewal spray at the moment, which is a kind of leave-in conditioner, and so far, it's not too bad, but I need to leave off the spray and find the "perfect" product for my own hair, so that I can bring it back to good condition. I'm even contemplating asking the local mobile hairdresser to layer my hair without making it any shorter.

Brightest Blessings and thank you for your helpful suggestions. x

My daughter has very dry curly hair and
does not like for her hair to be combed.

So I have to make sure that it never tangles.

It's very difficult to use regular shampoo on her hair
as it makes her hair mat, snarl and tangle.

Currently I'm using a simple conditioner from Suave.
But I've heard that Garnier Fructis is better for dry
and curly hair to keep it hydrated.

Thanks for sharing your beauty and hair tips with me.
I'm always interested in finding out how other women
do their daily beauty routine!

Best of luck on your search for the perfect hair product.

I will keep my eyes open for any products that I might find
for fine and wispy/dry hair and post them to my beauty blog.

Thanks again.
Have a beautiful day!

Thank you my friend, and I hope you find the perfect solution to your daughter's hair.

I don't really need straighteners, my friend. It's the dryness and flyaway element of my hair which is bothering me. I need to eliminate the need for hair spray, which although it brushes out, leaves my hair quite dry and without shine. It needs nourishment, rather than styling.

Brightest Blessings and thank you for your contribution.
