Have you ever had your hair thinned out?

[Beauty Mark]

I get my hair thinned from time to time. The problems with thinning your hair occur if you get it done too much. If you get it done once and don't bother keeping it up, it just kind of goes back to your normal hair.

I don't know how it'll work on your hair, though, because mine is straight

my stylist always thins out my hair and my god, does it make a difference! my hair is so frickin' thick, and it gets very heavy and annoying to style and straighten. this woman, i dunno what it is about her, but she's the first stylist to thin my hair and not make it look like crap, even when growing back. my hair even feels lighter to me after visiting her.

I got it thinned out the last time I visited the salon, but it ends up looking flyaway and frizzy and awful after some time. I'm going to try a hairstyle that doesn't involve any thinning. Maybe a blunt cut.

i have had my hair thinned out since i was 6..i have always had a good experience with it but one time i had them thin all over and not underneath i had a ton of really short hairs and i have semi long hair so it looked pretty bad...so i would say if they ask you say you want it underneath

I got mine thinned out this summer and it looks much smoother and way less frizzy. I have naturally curly hair and it's SUPER thick. So when I would straighten it, it was pretty lame. Ever since I got my hair thinned out, it's no longer tangly and isn't frizzy.

I'd suggest you get yours thinned out if you have semi-thick hair and definitely get it done if you have really thick hair

I recently got mine " thinned out". He cut from underneath with some scissors and on a angle. I did notice though some lil' stray popping up hairs. But my hair feels so much lighter and when I wash it I still freak out b/c I feel like I have 6 strands in my hand! lol. I'm used to having to use 3 rubber bands to hold my hair in a pony tail. But this is way better. Hopefully it does not gorw out funny.

my hair is super thick/curly, so last week i had it cut and she thinned it out as well. Its so much more manageable! I love it because now it isnt just a thick mess.

I have to or else I look like a wet cotton ball

I have a ton of normal sized (i.e., not fine and not thick) hair, and I get it thinned out with scissors pretty much every time I get it cut, which makes it much more manageable. The times it's been thinned out using that razor comb thing-y have been a disaster though - made my hair all flyaway and frizzy. I won't let people get near me with one of those things anymore.

Depending on the style you would like to achieve and your own personal preference mainly determines on thinning hair or not. Like many posters here, I also have very thick hair (asian fro), that it's nice to thin it and mainly get rid of the excessive weight that's not doing much for me.

It's hard to find a relate=able hair stylist tho :x

I always get mine thinned out a bit. It's curly, fine and I have a lot of it and it's just easier to style when it's thinned out.

i have so much hair and it's dense as well, so i need to get my hair thinned out almost every cut. it makes it more managable and gives it texture. i love thinning out client's hair that need it. it takes soooo much weight off.

I have SUPER thick hair, and for a long time the stylist I had in my hometown thinned it out. When I moved to where I live now I asked my new stylist to thin it out and she flat out refused to do it. She told me that if I wanted my hair thinned out that I would have to go somewhere else because she doesn't do it. Not because she doesn't know how, but she thinks it "ruins" your hair...something about it looking bad when it grows out*shrug* She's the best stylist I've ever had in spite of not thinning my hair out. Instead, she just cuts way more layers into it. I still miss how good it felt thinned out and how much lighter it was, but I trust her so it's all good now.

LOL it ruin's your hair. LOL nope, not at all. there's nothing wrong with thinning out hair that needs to be thinned. as long as you know how to do it properly, it's fine. your stylist should have negociated with you about the thinning instead of flat our refusing. after all, you're the client and it's what you want.

*shrug*

She's the one that went to beauty school...not me so how was *I* supposed to know? Plus, pretty much all stylists say that whatever your previous stylist was doing was bad for your hair anyway. I've been seeing the same person for 4 years now and other than not thinning my hair out, she's never done me wrong. As long as I'm happy with it now, and I am, it shouldn't matter.

thats how mine is if they thin or texturize it to much, it grows and the ends look split, my hair isnt too thick or thin so what i ask for is long blunt layers it takes a lil weight off with out makeing the ends look too thin or split, if that makes sense

no a good stylist will give you her honest opinion and can refuse service if she thinks it's in the best intrest of the client, if some one comes into a salon with damage hair and wants to bleach or perm after you told her your hair might fall out, do you think there gonna not refuse just cause thats what the client "wants

sounds like you have a good stylist listen to her, im gonna share my story.. a few years back i wanted to cut my hair in some choppy layers, my stylist said the same thing as yours and said im not gonna do it cause i know your NOT going to be happy, so i cheated and went some where else and i paid the price for two years , i went crying to my stylist and i never cheated again, and i trust what she said even if i didnt always agree, i never was unhappy when i went to see her..

so have i. and stylists always bad mouth each other's work. it's just the way the industry is. you always want more clients and you want to retain as many as possible. that's why stylists do that.
