well, just ask the hairdresses to layer your hair. they'll understand.

I too have very puffy..thick..fizzy wavy hair.

Yes the hairdresser will know what you mean however...

BEWARE of salons "thinning" your hair. Thinning may make your hair thinner but many salons do not under stand that if you hair is puffy and frizzy thinning it makes it more light weight and makes it appear bigger. Also the shorter the cut..the more volume you achieve. So your best bet would be to grow your hair long, add some LONG layers if you want layers..do not thin it. The longer it is, it will weigh itself down.

Then, minimize the amount you wash your hair..every three days or so. Take the time to blow dry in small sections pulling tight with a ceramic round brush or a paddle brush ( I use both for different parts of my head) then go over each piece with a straighteining iron that should smooth out all the frizz.

I promise this works. If my hair can look "normal" so can yours. It is time consuming but once you get the hang of it, its not so bad

Your hairdresser will know what you mean. They have a certain type of scissor that they use. My sister is a hairdresser and I have seen her do it. It won't ruin your hair. Talk to your hairdresser about your concerns.

I don't know why...we are all jealous! The hairdresses like to do that and tell you thinning it on top anyway make it fluff up better for bangs.

They use these special scissors called "thinning shears", I believe that is what they use. It strips the hair of the excess bulk..works really well, and your hairdresser will know what you mean, just explain why you want it done so she knows how much to take out of it. And getting it thinned out and getting it layered are two different things.

Thinning out the hair used to involve some very funny looking scissors and the hair was cut really close to the scalp near the crown of the head. (My mom is a retired beautician). I don't know if this is still how it's done but I'm sure people still get their hair thinned. You do have to keep faithful appts. with your beautician otherwise the hair will start to grow back and you'll have uneven growth.

'Thinning' your hair will cause you problems and make out of control volume even worse. What they usually mean by thinning is going through your hair with scissors that cut some of the hairs short and leave others alone. you will end up with the shorter pieces sticking out all over as they grow out. It's a really bad idea and most professional stylists do not suggest that ANYONE have this done to their hair.

Try getting your hair cut in layers used with a lazor edge scissors. When they are used it takes the weight off of your hair. You can also try relaxing or straightening your hair which will make your hair appear thinner. Try going to TLC's website for more hair and product tips. I also purchase hair magazines, but foremost ask your stylist for best hair tips and maintenance for your hair type.

I have really thick hair and want to get it 'thinned out'??

I personally would not get my hair thinned out. It just makes it worse for the frizzies. If ya have curly hair... then long layers like people have said. Or I have heard of a style called Carve and Slice....... which sounds scarey. But from what I can tell is that they do layers from one side of your head to the other instead of from the crown to the bottom of your hair. So apparently going from side to side helps the curls or waves blend better......

I have really thick hair and want to get it 'thinned out'??

Do you know, I have really thick hair too, and only this week, I've been thinking I would like it thinned out, but I don't like layers, and I'm not too keen on shorter hair. My hair is very long and wavy too. When I blow dry it, it does straighten out, but obviously it is very thick, so Straightening it does make it loads better, but as where many girls have about four or five layers of hair, I have more like 400 or 500 layers, (well maybe not that many, but not far off).

So do you know what I was thinking, well I will tell you, I was thinking of shaving some layers off completely, that will make it look loads thinner. Unfortunately, I'm not that brave, so will have to just put up with it.

All the best with the thinning of your hair, but if I was you, I would leave it, as once its cut, theres no going back, and that will only make you miserable.

I have really thick hair and want to get it 'thinned out'??

When I want my hair thinned, I usually just tell them to thin it. But you can specify them to use shears, that is what is supposed to be used so make sure you mention those.
