  • My hair

    I recently had it cut off from just above shoulder height. I've lived with it all my life. It is as straight as a yard of pumpwater as my mum used to say. It is very fine but also there's a lot of it. I didn't ask for it to be this short and wanted it to be long enough that i could tie it back out of the wind. I'm living with hair so fine that its as if i have cobwebs across my my face every day. The only consolation is that it will grow.

    Your hair sounds a bit like mine (hairdresser used to call it baby hair). Question! Do you use conditioner? I used it for years. The difference since I stopped is amazing. Pity it's grey\white now.

      No, I only used to use conditioner on the ends. It makes my hair look even more unwashed if I use it near the roots. I've bought a beanie to keep it out of my eyes when i'm out as I can't find anything else in town that does the same job (ie alice band, hair band, etc). My children aren't impressed.

          Have you got any little hair clips you could try some of these styles for short hair?

              Haha Potty, I've been waiting for someone to say that
              I know many people who have lost their hair completely after chemo who would be glad to have any hair - thin or fat.

                I'm not really complaining or I'd've been on the rant forum. I actually like my hair I'm just not used to it being so short. This is only the third time I've done this in 50+ years.

                  In my case what hasn't turned white has fallen out. I've tried to grow long hair but then I see what some other bald guys look like with long fringe and I head to the barber shop or have my wife buzz it as short as the hair clippers can cut it.

                  After all, I don't have to look at it that often since it doesn't have to be combed.

                  You may want to try a buzz cut.

                    I had a similar problem when a trainee hairdresser kept shortening the sides trying to get left and right the same length. My bobble hat got a lot of use at first, as I found it much more effective than clips when out in windy weather. However, it gets a bit warm after midApril...

                    Will your hair ‘hold’ a plait?
                    If so, then 2x French plaits, 2x bunches and single French plait should all be possible before ponytails.
                    Whilst I would never have worn bunches for work(!), they are fine for the back garden at the weekend

                      Instead of conditioner, even on the ends try olive oil.

                      Heat it up a bit in a dish, dip a comb or brush into it, brush it in till hair is completely oiled, shove a shower cap on and leave for a few hours. Shampoo it out though it might take two washes with a mild shampoo.

                      Done once a week hair is more than happy as its been fed.

                        For a 50yo I guess my hair still isn't too bad....

                        This pic was slightly posed - I do tie it back and wear goggles when chainsawing.

                        Don't worry - it will grow back...

                        PS - this was going to be a bench - but it's didn't work out. Chainsaw art is hard!

                          My aunt was a hair dresser and always used to cut my hair. I've only had it cut twice since she passed away 17 years ago. Both times I wasn't happy with it. No one will ever go near my hair with scissors again.

                            Sorry, Janie - my mistake. I thought "The only consolation is that it will grow" meant you weren't happy with it

                              My hair is a real disaster for me. It just sticks out in all directions and it's really hard to make it look as I want. I tried almost half of hair gels from a list (with more advertising) but none of it is good for me... And the disadvantage of those remedies is that my hair becomes shiny and I hate such kind of effect...
