    My hair is so fine. It's almost like baby hair. Is there anything that would make it thicker?

    Pin curls will make it look fuller. Do as my mother did and spit on your fingers, grab a small amount of hair, curl it around your index finger and bobby pin it closet to your scalp. Let it dry and fluff up……….

    itsmee

    I have done that, julie. I should send you a photo. Should ... but won't. : ) I don't believe I ever spit on my fingers. Nope.
    mycatsmom

    I remember those good old pin curl days.They were a lot easier than sleeping on brush rollers that came along later. My mother said we have to suffer to be beautiful :-\
    itsmee

    I just remembered. A friend of mine was in a wedding. Her hair is thin. Her beautician back combed it for aouut twenty minutes. She looked great -- kinda like Amy Winehouse when she was alive.

    Sorry, maybe I can advise on best wax for the top of a bald head, that's all I can do. 

    itsmee

    Another one. Well, I repeat myself when I say Bald Is Beautiful. Uh, Wax?? Hmmmm.site
    Target, Mercedes, Radio Shack, Vegemite, Obama, Walt Disney films,
    MacDonalds, Macy's, Forever 21, See Chocolates.
    I was trying to write some words that would have green dots underneath them.
    mycatsmom

    bustie, you actually put wax on the top of your bald head ? Why ? ---To make it even shineier ?
    bustieone

    No, it is an old thing, when I was a kid, you would say that about a bald guy, "do you use Turtle Wax, for that hard-shell finish". Also, kids over the years would try saying that to me, (as a teacher being only 30, and going quite bald).
    itsmee

    Knick names drive me nuts!

    Baseball caps.That's what I use.I have over 50 of them.

    itsmee

    Well, that's an idea but probably not an idea for me. Sunny & bastion might try that. 50 caps! Oh my.
    Tommyh

    I buy a cap everywhere I go.I have them from all over the world.:)

    Here is a magazine article that I have bookmarked for myself so I thought I better share this with my li'l sister-friend down south so heres ya go baby >http://www.inwealthandhealth.com/fine-hair-look-thicker/


     

    itsmee

    Ohhh ... nice!

    I can't advise you itsmee, I don't have any hair. I'm a boldy.

    itsmee

    Ahhhhh .... Life with no problems. Carefree and a head that's shiny as the sun. Bliss. : ) Thanks sunny. Bald is Beautiful.

    Wow! That's a lot of lead in for a site.What's on that site ?
    lindilou

    That is a great article...bookmarked! ;)
    itsmee

    thanks mr. grist.

    After shampooing...try mixing egg whites with your favorite conditioner...leave in according to conditioner's instructions. One egg white should do per wash...Results should be noticed VERY soon since whites have lots of protein...(rinse with luke warm to cool water)...GOOD LUCK!

    ROMOS

    Exactly what my mother used to do, and it worked.
    itsmee

    wonderkin : I wonder: Do you have to beat the egg whites up so they are all fluffy? It sounds reasonable but possibly a little messy. Well, anything for beauty I always say. (First time I said that really)

    wonderer

    itsmee: No need to make whip cream, but DO stir well...that will help coat all of your hair more evenly. TIP: Works well as a facial,or for rough elbows,hands, etc...
    mycatsmom

    sounds logical, Wonderer
    wonderer

    Thanks, m.c.m...FYI...I'm bold on top but have hair half way down my back. It's fine naturally. I'll admit that I don't use as much as I should...however...when I do...there IS a huge difference...(I find myself EATING the eggs instead!)
    itsmee

    I'm going to do a facial now. I'll let you know, wonderkins. : )
    wonderer

    O.Kay...!
    wonderer

    Sounds like you are about to do a complete eggwash of your entire head...LOL! :)

    My hair is fine too. But I have lots of hair . It amazes hairdressers.  I think having it styled with hair dryers and then lightly curled helps. I do not know a cure.

    hector5559

    I Find an Ena,Shaples type hair net helps me when doing dusting around the house,,
    itsmee

    Thank you, cLu.

    Hector: Yes, it's a teribubble problem when our hair gets all dusty. I do not believe I've ever seen an Ena Shaples type hair net. : )
    mycatsmom

    me too,Clu. It's fine and soft, but there's alot of it.

    Fondu a kind of dark cement,

    ROMOS

    And very tasty, I like the strong cheddar.
    clu

    Hector I find it hard to believe you clean around the house in a hair net! What about Miss Kitty?
    hector5559

    And the vacky,while singing i want to break free,
    itsmee

    hector, I do hope you can break free. I also hope your hair net doesn't get caught on a piece of heavy furniture and that would prevent your escape.

    ROFLMFREAKYAO!!!
    itsmee

    When an innocent bug gets stuck in my house. I take it by the wings, open the screen and let it out while singing BORRRRN FREEEEE.
    lindilou

    ROFLMAO!

    Try shampoo that gives volume to hair.

    itsmee

    You bet. I shampoo twice a week ... sometimes three times.
    sawali

    using shampoo 3 times a week is an overkill and may harm your hair . Every time you wash hair, you lose some. so go easy itsmee!
    itsmee

    sawali: I honestly didn't know that but it makes a lot of sense.Blow drying is really bad too, I think.

     


    itsmee, My Aunt Anne complained bitterly for years about her baby-fine hair. She finally took to wearing a wig. And she never complained about her hair again.


    Here's some things that I heard people say that makes your hair thicker and stronger.  1. Horse and Mane shampoo  2. a type of vitamin that's brand name is Hair, Skin, and Nails.  3. some people swear that Vit B 12 makes hair thicker and healthier.  4. I've heard a beer rinse makes hair thicker.

    wonderer

    mcmom...those may work well...however...also takes a long time to do the job. The egg white & conditioner blend, (About 50/50), is instant...use less conditioner for thicker hair...adjust blend over time as you find how it works for you...
    itsmee

    Yes, I need a quick fix. Thank you wonderkin and mcm.
    mycatsmom

    thanks for weighing in , Wonderer
    mycatsmom

    itsmee, Maybe if you got a perm, it would look thicker and be more pliable.

    Eating of Vegemite will do the trick, it worked for me.:)

    nomdeplume

    Instead of eating Vegemite, try rubbing it into your hair.
    bulletman

    Nom, that will do nothing except having a disgusting scalp. lol.
    nomdeplume

    You have obviously tried it bulletman.
    itsmee

    My son has thin hair like mine and his is falling out. He's in Australia and COULD get Vegemite. I'm in the U.S. and cannot get Vegemite. Before I pass this information to him, I'll need to know if Vegemite really works if consumed.
    bulletman

    Itsmee, obviously all things work differently on individuals, but for me whose brothers, uncles and father were/ are are all bald, i have Vegemite quite thick spread, it is a required taste. i have had it since babyhood, not only do i have all my hair, it still has natural colour, not bad for 64, every body laughs when i mention Vegemite is the reason, i don't care, i swear by it.
    bulletman

    Itsmee, i just remembered, i am used to it but for you it may be detrimental to your health, it contains a high amount of Sodium (salt).
    itsmee

    I just never have salt When I come across it, I LOVE it. My blood pressure is good so that's not a problem...at one time I worried about it and stopped salt. I could take Vegemite.
    nomdeplume

    Both Vegemite and Marmite ( much better) are yeast extracts. You should be able to buy a yeast extract without salt.

    Wallpaper paste, works every time.

    bulletman

    That's worse than Vegemite, :)
    lindilou

    Only problem is when it gets stuck in your gums....blech! LOL
    mycatsmom

    And remember, itsmee......a beer rinse works well.....so I've heard.
    bustieone

    Doesn't it "bind you up"?
    nomdeplume

    Only binds you up if you swallow it.
    bustieone

    Gulp, too late!

    SE EU FOSSE VOCÊ , NÃO ME PREOCUPARIA COM ESSE CABELO .O IMPORTANTE ,É QUE VOCÊ É MUITO LINDA . EU TE CHAMARIA CABELO DE ANJO . BEIJOS....

    itsmee

    No comprende. I do understand that something is IMPORTANTE. Maybe someone will translate for me? and you.
    lindilou

    It is Portuguese m'lady and look what it says!!

    " IF I WERE YOU, DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THAT HAIR.'s IMPORTANT IS THAT YOU ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE YOU ANGEL HAIR call. KISSES ...."

    ...and there you have it baby...btw here's the translator > http://translate.google.com/#auto/en/SE%20EU%20FOSSE%20VOC%C3%8A%20%2C%20N%C3%83O%20ME%20PREOCUPAR%20COM%20ESSE%20CABELO%20.O%20IMPORTANTE%20%2C%C3%89%20QUE%20VOC%C3%8A%20%C3%89%20MUITO%20LINDA%20.%20EU%20TE%20CHAMARIA%20CABELO%20DE%20ANJO%20.%20BEIJOS....
    itsmee

    I blush ... and smile. : )
    lindilou

    ....I know....so did I 'cause it really felt like I was reading someone else's mail!!! [BLUSH BIG TIME!!!] ;)
    mycatsmom

    aaawwww. That was a sweet compliment for you, itsmee. .....and so close to Valentines Day ♥

    I just use Super glue and "Chia Hair" .....LOL! (lots of suggestions...WHY NOT?)...

    bustieone

    I have had Chia pets given as gifts by students of mine when I taught high school, it was funny. Also got a comb for bald guys (had no teeth in center)...

    yes
