I already have some layers done, and they were nice at first but I think it only looks thinner from the straightening. And no, I don't want my hair to just LOOK thinner, I want it to actually be thinner because it's so hard to control a dry scalp problem I have with my thick hair. I've heard about something called razoring. Is that effective? Thanks!

EDIT: Oh, about my dry scalp problem, I remember seeing something called Selsun Blue and it apparently works well. Has anybody tried it? Does work that well? Thanks.

THE way to get you hair thinned without harming it is to go to a salon and ask for a thinning. They will use shears that one blade looks like a comb and the other is normal. That way, as the stylist cuts, it only cuts some of the hair, not all of it. Most stylists should know how to do this technique properly, but go to a quality salon for the best results.
For a dry scalp, you do not want to use Selson Blue. That's for dandruff and can make the problem worse. Try Head &Shoulders dry scalp formula. That should do the trick, and compliment it with a good conditioner, and weekly deep conditioning treatments. That will also make your hair lay down and look glossier. Try to avoid washing your hair every day, if possible. Give the natural oil some time to do it's thing on your scalp. Once the dry scalp is under control, try alternating between the H&S and Sunsilk "Anti-Poof" formula products. They are really good. I also highly recommend Mane 'n Tail shampoo and conditioner. They make even the thickest and coarsest hair soft and silky!
Regular trims are also vital. If your hair gets damaged ends, they will frizz up and make your hair look thicker, and not very good. Also, try not brushing it. Use a detangling comb with widely spaced teeth, and gently comb it. You'd be surprised at how much "poof" is caused by your brush! Ditto for blow-drying! After you comb your hair out, let it dry naturally, if at all possible. I almost never blow-dry my hair!
Try some or all of my suggestions, especially the salon thinning technique, and I think you'll be delighted with the results. Good luck!

Thin Out Thick Hair

You can get a relaxer and it will literally thin out your hair.
However, I dont know why you would do that.
I have thick hair, and yes, it does sometimes get unruly, but now that I have lots of layers, it does wonderful with some gel in it. Also, my layers are razored. It takes out a lot of the weight in your hair.....not the actual hair follicles, but it thins it out as a whole. Its just cutting your hair with a razor as opposed to sisscors (sp?).
But, I have to say, when you're old and losing hair, you'll be glad you have thick tresses =.

So..
Millions of people all over the world are affected by hair loss, and it's not only the males that suffer this condition as even females are affected by this problem. What's sad is that many of the individuals affected by such a condition end up just accepting what is happening to their hair due to lack of information or options.

Razoring works really well. Usually the stylist takes a razor to the ends of the hair. The stylist can remove a lot of the bulk of your hair by razoring it. I've had it done before. My hair had more movement after and looked sleeker. As for the Selsun blue, it has a pretty strong smell. I would try the Selsun Salon. It doesn't smell as bad.

I don't know of anything that will make your hair thinner, that's just your genes. If I were you, I would use a shine spray to temporarily make it thinner. As far as your scalp problem, you should see a dermatologist, it might be psoriasis and they have shampoos they can perscribe to you for it. You can also try Neutrogena T-Gel Shampoo but with your thick hair it will make it very dry so make sure to pick up a deep conditioner as well.

Get a realaxer/perm. My hair is also really thick.I just got a relaxer 2 days ago and my hair looks really nice. If your mom wont let you try to convince her to.If that doesnt work use a lot of conditioner and shampoo them dry your hair really good. Hope i helped! Olive Oil is really good.

Um at the hair salon they have a thinning tool. It looks like scissors but they scrape your hair with it and it takes as much bulk out as you want.
