Cursed with thin, limp hair which won't stay straight! =[?

Question

Okay, I am cursed thin, limp flyaway hair that won't keep a style for 10 minutes. I have layers which I am trying to go out to make my hair thicker towards the ends. At the moment, I can get body at the top of my hair but the towards the bottom it is limp and looks as though I have just got out of bed. After trying hair extensions of all sorts (recently clip ins) I have given up because they go so dry easily.

I am starting college tomorrow and I want my hair to look really sleek and nice. I want to wear it down but are there any techniques (not products, I haven't got time) to keep the hair straight? Could conditioner be making the ends limp? Will mousse make the ends hold the straight for longer? Advice please!

Thanks.

Answer 1

Not sure whether or not you blow-dry, but that could be the problem.  I have similar hair, and if I don't blow-dry it, it looks limp, frizzy, wavy & whacked out all at once! haha.  Definitely use a styling product like mouse (only a little) before blow-drying.  

Another problem could be your water.  Soft water & filtered water improves the texture.  Hair Products by Jonathan sell a shower-head filter, which you can find on sephora.com.

'Hope this helped in some way. G'luck!

Answer 2

Wet your hair down, brush through

Wait until damp, then put a little hairspray to hold,

I would suggest blow-drying a little so it'll feel softer,

I use Aussie Products, they smell fruity and good, and work,

Hey!

Well I Think Your Hair Sounds Okay! I Wish I Had Thin Hair! My Hairs Course And Wont Stay Straight!! =[ But Anyway I Think You Should Straighten Your Hair In, Don't Flick Out With The Straightener, And Yes Moose Will Defiantly Work After You've Straightened It..

Good Luck
