While you’re at it, have the hair underneath the bangs dyed slightly darker, which increases the appearance of volume as well.

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

Make It Wave

Make It Wave Stick straight hair always looks thinner than curly or wavy hair. That’s one of the reasons why I have learned to embrace my curls. Expert hairstylists say that adding a bit of wave or curl to your locks will give them life and volume, even if it only lasts until you wash your hair. Hot rollers or a large barrel curling iron are the tools you need to create this look. It’s easy!

7

Take Care of the Ends

Take Care of the Ends It’s hard to imagine how you’ll get your hair to look longer and better if you cut it, but taking care of the ends of your strands is vital to keeping things look full and healthy. Use a hair mask now and then to pump the ends of your strands with moisture and nutrients. Make sure you get them trimmed regularly too.

I pull my hair straight up and put in a ponytail, then I comb my hair straight up and cut off a few inches! When I let it down I have perfect layers! It makes it easy to curl also!

I use Bumble and Bumble's BBB. Thickening Dryspun Finish. You shake the can and spray the powder under your layers. Instant fullness, love it!!

Great ideas.

Great ideas.

Mix coconut oil and blackstrap molasses, and work gently into your hair and leave for an hour, you can even add a spoon of honey, it makes hair stronger and more body immediately

Oh yes, ofc, wash its gently a few times to clear away all the oil, its magic, try it once a month, it makes my hair grow quicker, and it works well on colour treated dry hair

My hair is the opposite too full and too thick and it grows very fast :/ but thats all thanx to PCOS even the hair on my chin grows fast and thick!

Kerrian same except the chin things

Loved the hair color in pic 4 nice article thanks

Bangs and layers are a bad choice for thin, limp hair! The bangs end up looking like spaghetti and the layers leave you with little rat tails for the bottom layer.
