Answer 1

hmm....First of all you should put a deep conditioner in her hair to repair it.....Then blow dry it so that it gives it abit of volume...Then depending on if her hair can hold a curl curl it with a two inch barrel. Or use different size barrels to give it more volume...use hairspray to keep the curls in. Then if you want to losen the curls you can tell her to put her head forward so all of her hair is in front and put the blow dryer on the lowest setting on cold and blow dry alittle so it losens the curls. I think this should give her alot of volume so that her hair doesn't look to thin. The conditioner should hep the weakness...Hope this helps!

First, you can't MAKE anyone feel better about themselves. They have to want to do that for themselves. But as a friend, you can certainly encourage and remain positive :)

Great hair starts from the inside and works it's way out so eating healthy foods and taking good vitamins (most of the really good ones are at health-food stores) can work wonders!

For a hair style, try some up-do's that flatter the shape of the face and her particular occasion.

Oh, and a really good stylist is sensitive not only to the needs of the hair but to her client's feelings. Stay away from loser stylists!

Highlights always help thinning hair. I have a friend that is balding in spots and her hair will not grow very long. A talked her into a cute just above the shoulders cut with layers and highlights. It really made a huge difference. Her hair looked fuller, healthier, and you almost could not even tell she had balding spots.
Good Luck.

Answer 4

I have the same problem. Any kind of an updo would look good. Also, you should consider getting one of those hair extensions (about $10 at a drugstore) that will add fullness.

For a more permanent solution, I get "frontal" extensions to make my hair look thicker. They're about $150 at the salon and they make all the difference!

Answer 5

if her hair is weak it probably wont hold a curl. wash her hair , dont use to much shampoo it would strip her hair of natural oils, and make her hair limp, when using conditioner only use it at the ends, not at the roots, that would weigh her hair down. blow-dry it with a round brush, this will help give he hair body.

It depends on what kind of style you want you could....

take a curling iron and flip the ends out. and spray. spray. spray

you could find a nice jewled hair pin and pin her hair in a bun.

take a curling iron and flip the ends inward, this will create a little bit of definition.

leave it straight and find a cool headband to give her a more modern style

GoodLuck!!

Answer 6

Redken has some really good volumizing mousses. I really like Redken 10 Guts, and Redkin 07 Full Frame. Hey, you sound like a good friend.

Answer 7

Tell her to consider cutting it short. I know that it sounds weird but if you take length off it will bounce up and look fuller.

Answer 8

blow it out differently the more you blow it out the fuller it will be =) try it with a round brush in different styles ok

best of luck bye ♥

Answer 9
