Her mom is a hairdresser so she's watched it a few times and took a class with her. She offered to do it originally and I thought I better let the professional, but I'll just let her do it next time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thin-hair-products-styles-cuts#post-2878950 Mon, 01 Apr 2019 08:55:20 +0000 graceandjoy 2878950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@josina: Wow, she did that!

Haven't mastered the back yet though!</p> <p>ETA: it does take some getting used to though! And I know what you're saying about the light... my home bathroom makes it look really orangy, but natural light its not that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thin-hair-products-styles-cuts#post-2878754 Fri, 29 Mar 2019 15:13:27 +0000 Foodnerd81 2878754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@josina: I do like that better! Subtle brown highlights must be hard! I really would like more beach waves but my hair just won’t do that. The curls I have now are a little too precioua for me or something. Yours are just right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thin-hair-products-styles-cuts#post-2878753 Fri, 29 Mar 2019 15:10:54 +0000 josina 2878753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Love yours! Color and cut!<br /> That's how I wanted mine but I think I ended up more with highlights... Full disclosure, I couldn't get used to how bleached-out the highlights looked, so my step-daughter darkened them with box-dye ash blonde and put some browns back in to make it look more balayage. She did great, lol, I like it much better!<br /> I'm wearing it with beachy waves and loving that much more also. I'm not very good at dealing with the short layers in the back yet.. UN-patiently waiting for them to grow out.</p> <p>[attach=4677/19/pp59e7.449x600.56119947_2177361852320873_2054297769803251712_n.jpg] </p> [attach=4677/19/pp59kt.502x600.53570527_451459652062124_1970385988718952448_n.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thin-hair-products-styles-cuts#post-2878751 Fri, 29 Mar 2019 14:41:46 +0000 Foodnerd81 2878751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gotkimchi: it’s definitely taking getting used to.

Honestly- I’m not sure how I feel. It’s a little more “done” than I think I wanted. In some lights I love it, in some I’m not sure. Plus obviously he curled it too so it’s hard to judge the cut. It’s definitely better and fuller looking, but I don’t know if it was worth the $$$. </p> [attach=2307/19/pp56zj.450x600.9F940BC3-973C-4392-91C2-91DD20BA5C1E.jpeg] [attach=2307/19/pp56zl.451x600.7285854B-7D53-41FA-B3CC-878EBE5685CB.jpeg] [attach=2307/19/pp56zm.440x600.9BF9452B-8719-4F90-B44B-B672223AA520.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thin-hair-products-styles-cuts#post-2877775 Fri, 22 Mar 2019 13:48:12 +0000 josina 2877775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Thanks!

But I do see what you're seeing with the back. I have similar hair and find that most stylists over layer it. I have to ask for a blunt base with just a few layers. But I really like it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thin-hair-products-styles-cuts#post-2877694 Fri, 22 Mar 2019 08:35:20 +0000 graceandjoy 2877694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@josina: Love the highlights!

I like the color but not crazy about the cut. She went crazy with layers in the back, which is probably great for thin hair, but not in love with it.<br /> Once the back grows back out, lol, I think I'll love it.<br /> You can definitely tell how thin it is at the bottom of the left pic, so I like the new length, just not the back. :bummed: </p> <p>[attach=4677/19/porre7.600x600.54523626_442872456254547_4795082496356122624_n.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thin-hair-products-styles-cuts#post-2877431 Wed, 20 Mar 2019 09:35:07 +0000 Foodnerd81 2877431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@josina: good luck!

And man that's "cheap" compared to where I am! And I agree; bayalage is amazing, mine never looked too funky as it grew out and 2 years later. I think I just need to do a color/cut for now because who has time for more stuff! You need to post pics!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thin-hair-products-styles-cuts#post-2877400 Wed, 20 Mar 2019 08:25:44 +0000 josina 2877400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KT326: @Foodnerd81: Yep, I plan to do balayage... I love how it looks but mainly so I don't have to worry about upkeep as much! My friend is a stylist and is only charging $65 for the cut and color so not terribly expensive. Booked for tomorrow, super excited; I haven't had any sort of highlights in 20 years and haven't had a pro-color in 10.</p> <p>@MamaG: I'll have to try washing at night, but usually I get such horrible kinks, etc, while I sleep that my hair is a disaster in the morning. Also why I have to wash it daily. </p> <p>I do sometimes curl it with my straightener for loose waves like the ones pictured. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thin-hair-products-styles-cuts#post-2877346 Tue, 19 Mar 2019 20:46:24 +0000 MamaG 2877346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@josina: I curl my hair instead of straighten to get some volume. My current methods include washing as night so I don’t have to blow dry. Then in the morning I curl it. I also take biotin daily. Lastly, I color my own hair because i don’t want to spend what it takes to maintain. So now highlights other than the darn silver. </p> <p>I find curling to be less damaging than straightening. And not using heat to dry makes a huge difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thin-hair-products-styles-cuts#post-2877331 Tue, 19 Mar 2019 19:37:51 +0000 Foodnerd81 2877331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, my hair is shoulder length and pretty straight- if I do it I just blow dry it a little straighter because the front has weird kinks around my hair line. </p> <p>All the photos of balayage highlights seem to show women with loose waves. Will it still do the same thing, making it look more full, on straight hair? Thoughts?</p> <p>Eta: like this- I like it but my hair doesn’t have this much wave. </p> [attach=2307/19/pon4gl.338x600.BE509885-B7DC-4B30-A15E-A7F7751AAF52.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thin-hair-products-styles-cuts#post-2877322 Tue, 19 Mar 2019 17:31:40 +0000 Foodnerd81 2877322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KT326: yes, this is why my stylist suggested balayage highlights for me, so they will look better as the grow up since I know i won’t maintain it well. This might be convincing me to try it too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thin-hair-products-styles-cuts#post-2877318 Tue, 19 Mar 2019 17:04:18 +0000 KT326 2877318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@josina: Do your research on stylists before you commit to color! My stylist knows I only come in once a year (trying to make it twice but time flies...) so she knows how to color my hair so that I won't look horrible if I don't go in every 8 weeks. Color is time consuming, I usually spend at least 3 hours in the salon, sometimes longer (like when she did a purple ombre, that was 5 hours!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thin-hair-products-styles-cuts#post-2877313 Tue, 19 Mar 2019 16:57:01 +0000 josina 2877313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KT326: You guys definitely have talked me into coloring my hair... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thin-hair-products-styles-cuts#post-2877304 Tue, 19 Mar 2019 15:37:40 +0000 KT326 2877304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@josina: I have thin, curly hair too. About six months ago I started sleeping with a satin pillowcase and using one of these microfiber towels after a shower:</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075382S1B/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&#038;th=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075382S1B/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&#038;th=1</a></p> <p>The difference in my curls has been amazing. I'm not as frizzy and they are more uniform curls.</p> <p>My friend is a hair stylist and she cuts my hair dry so she can make sure I get the best cut for my curls. I agree with other posters, color helps make my hair look like it has more volume. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thin-hair-products-styles-cuts#post-2877302 Tue, 19 Mar 2019 15:31:12 +0000 graceandjoy 2877302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@josina: Oo interesting! Anyway, I totally feel your pain. I don't like 90% of my own pictures mainly b/c my hair! I wear it up all the time b/c it pretty much only looks decent for 1 day after wash/blowdry... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thin-hair-products-styles-cuts#post-2877301 Tue, 19 Mar 2019 15:27:09 +0000 josina 2877301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@graceandjoy: I love the beachy waves. I have naturally curly hair but it curls all goofy so I always straighten it - which doesn't help my hair's condition.<br /> I just did read though (google) to perm first, then color, because it's more damaging the other way around? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thin-hair-products-styles-cuts#post-2877299 Tue, 19 Mar 2019 15:09:59 +0000 graceandjoy 2877299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@josina: This has been my inspo forever. I had it similar but just a straight a-line-ish bob. Just slacking to do it because a cut/color/perm would be astronomical. Lately I'd been toying with maybe coloring my own hair (which I have done before, long before kids) and then getting a cut/perm... </p> [attach=9772/19/pomqon.480x600.37362311_2062207420520007_293732310862266368_n.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thin-hair-products-styles-cuts#post-2877297 Tue, 19 Mar 2019 15:06:13 +0000 josina 2877297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@graceandjoy: @MrsADS: @Foodnerd81: I was just thinking of doing highlights /bayalage...
