Hey guys.
I am a16 years old boy and I have a blond hair that is straight after drying and gets wavy trough the day(as it gets wet in any way).
I have medium long hair ( really quite similar to haircut tony in the sow skins has).

The problem I am facing is this: My hair is rare and very thin - this is why my hairstyle gets ruined as soon as the first wind blows - As an effect of that it gets oily in a second (have to wash my hair every night and still it is already oily when I wake up) and also sets itself in a direction my scalp can be seen(I really hate this!)

So questions:
-What could I do to make my hair thicker and stronger
-What could I do to make my hair stand the way I want it to trough the day
-What could I do to make my hair not get oily so fast

I also want my hair to be straight - I don't like it being wavy since I even look worse with that. Could you also give me an advice in haircut - Maybe shorter or longer hair?? (If there are any hairdressers here - I have an oval shaped face with high forehead)

Best Regards

First off you will need a good hair cut with blunt layers in them. I think shortish hair would be good with a fringe at the front to conceal the forehead.

Straight hair makes thin hair look thin! You need some body in there, some sort of style. So if you do get shortish hair with blunt layers and a fringe, you could use hair volumising mousses or texturising sprays.

Here's the look I'm thinking of. Let me know what you think about it.

Thin hair does tend to get greasy quite quickly. Chose a shampoo forumlated for greasy hair. And buy a dry shampoo! It's good for when you can't be bothered shampooing.
And unfortunately, theres nothing i know of that makes your hair thick but taking Vitamin B complex supplements with Biotin in it will help strengthen the hair when it grows.

Hey.
Thanks for the idea but really don't think I have the hair for it.

If my hair gets wavy I look my worst. As I said I have rare thin hair so when the more wavy the bigger chance of showing my scalp in whatever part of my head (usually at the right top side - it's just the way my hair stands. I really do hate this :P )

So I was thinking about the haircut Maxxie in show skins has ( no I'm not some sort of skins geek :P just noticed a good haircut there

Do you think this kind of haircut would suit me? I think I would have to use a straightener but there's a question :

Does straightening also keep your hair straight after getting wet (rain, sweating at sport class, high temperature,...)?

Best Regards!

Oval face shapes suit any cut so you're lucky!
But when you do straighten your hair, humidity, rain, any moist condition kinks your hair up.

That's cool :P

Is there any way I can make my hair not oil so much over the day?

I wash my head before going to bed, I wake up with oily hair, use a very thick comb which makes me look OK for the next 2 hours and that's when I already get my hair oily again. So I wash my hair every day.

Another thing. I have hairspray( varnish for hair? Don't know how to say it in English). I once used it and it kept my haircut where I wanted it to be. Than came sport class - As soon as I took my shirt off my hair got screwed. Any help for that?

Best Regards

P.S. Sorry for bothering you with all these questions : just aren't feeling confident about my hair - I always think I look bad for some reason -.-"

It's ok. I'm here to help.

Because you have thin hair it will tend to get greasy a lot. So use a shampoo for fine, greasy hair. also invest in a a dry shampoo, it sprays out as powder, the powder then soaks up the grease and you brush it out.
I have fine hair and I use the new L'oreal nutri gloss shampoo formulated for hair that gets greasy too quickly.

When you take your shirt off, your hair is bound to get a bit out of shape lol.

I'll take a look at that shampoo. Also the dry one - Really hate washing my hair every night

And yes I know it's supposed to get of shape :P It's just that the others always look good while I am afraid that I my hair again set itself so my scalp is seen. Guess I'm just a bit paranoid that's all.

Oh.. Do you suggest using hairspray(varnish for hair)?

Best Regards

PunkChic

Yes, hairspray is good to keep the hair in place. The L'oreal one is the one I love!

Hey I thought you could tell me how to use hairspray.
I mean - Should I dishevel / shuffle ( don't know the word again ) my hair while adding it on? If I comb my hair and than add hairspray my hair feels like being in one piece It doesn't look oily it just sticks itself in one piece
