Upstyles for thin hair

Birdster

Hi ladies,

I'm looking for tips on doing my hair for a wedding (as a guest). My hair is extremely thin, you can see scalp easily and I've dark hair which doesn't help. I'd like some ideas for upstyles and if anyone can recommend a hairdresser in Dublin city or south county that is a miracle worker with thin hair, please let me know. Thank you!!

If you put in some clip in hair extensions to 'bulk up' your hair (only get the ones with one clip, otherwise with thin hair you'll see the clip if its any bigger), then get it back-combed to add a bit of volume.

If you get it curled and then either pinned up or clipped over to the side it would make it look much thicker than normal.

One clip? I tried the fine liners ones by Jessica Simpson before and discovered my hair is too thin to hold extension clips.

You could try a sock bun or one of those bun donut things in Penneys. Search YouTube (or Pinterest) and it'll be easier to see what I mean. I've seen it done with thin hair and it's worked

hi,

I also have very thin hair and use an excellent hairdresser in skerries, I have not had an upstyle with her but have had excellent highlights and she has talked me through some upstyles I could do (just haven't had the occassion!)

Anyway she really understands thin hair - which I find most hairdressers really don't.

It might be too far away for you but if it's not she is well worth checking her out, let me know if you want details.

Also an excellent shampoo i found is the volume range in the body shop, bit pricey but if you are in UK it is cheap, really worth it. or the al*chemy range again pricey and I haven't found it in Ireland yet, I'm recently back from oz and found it amazing.

Hi thanks for that but yeah Skerries would be miles away for me the morning of the wedding unfortunately! I've never tried Body Shops shampoo hmmm I use the sulphate and paraben free organix volume one, but a new shampoo is always good to get a little treat for me!
