Scalp sunburn is REAL
Yep, it’s a thing. If you have thick hair, you’ve likely never experienced the unholy sensation that is your scalp burning. And don’t even get us started on the peeling.

Windy days are a real problem
A real problem.
Normal hair loss causes major anxiety
While everyone loses around 100 hairs a day, for those with thin hair that’s enough to send us into a major meltdown, because there’s just no way we can afford to lose ANY of it.
One word: STATIC
You know those orbs with electric currents you put your hand on? That’s what thin hair with static looks like.

And it doesn’t stop there: Rapunzel, the entire cast of Pretty Little Liars, Shakira - we love you all but we kinda hate you, too. Don’t take it personally, we’re just bitter about your enviably thick locks. Shave it off and we’ll call it even. Deal?
There’s just not enough dry shampoo in the world
Nothing to do with whether your hair is dirty or not, you need that grit to feign some texture.

Thick, voluminous textured braid? Not in this lifetime
Frozen’s Elsa’s dreamy Disney braid is but a distant dream. So in the words of the ice queen herself, “Let it go”...

Hahaha YES to all of the above! ESPECIALLY #1. I do have to wash mine every day or it looks greasy. And I have to keep it up most of the time because it gets static ;-(

The phrase 'thin hair' sounds so mean. Can't you say 'fine hair' instead? A friend of mine is always bagging me out about my 'thin hair' it's not a nice thing to say.

I noticed my hair thinning with age but a daily dose of silica soon got my hair back to its original thick healthy look.

My hair is getting thinner. It used to be really thick but now it falls out a lot. I stock up on volumising products and they do seem to help make my hair look a lot thicker.

I have very fine hair but I suppose it's not all bad because I have lots and lots of it. I've actually heard that blondes have more strands of hair per head than other colours - heard it somewhere!

I don't have thin hair, it is quite thick and seems to grow quickly. My sister on the other hand has thin fine locks.

I have very thin hair and oily scalp, and worst of all, I am battling hair loss now. I don't know what's gone wrong. I think I need to start wearing a wig.

Now that I've gone short again one of the best ways to do my thin hair is wash it and drive to work with it dripping wet and the windows down and most days when I get to work it looks pretty good :)

Fine, dry, wavy not very strong so it breaks easily. I can relate to these fine hair problems.

I have fine hair, but lots of it. My challenge is my hair getting really knotty. Now that my hair is long, I always have at least one matted clump of hair. I have a Tangle Teezer which has helped, but it's not quite enough.
