I am 69 years old and have hated my flat crown my whole life. I've tried everything to give my crown lift. OMG! I just tried your technique and it worked like a charm! Michael, you are a genius! Thank you so very, very much!! I'm thrilled beyond words!!!

He needs to try this on a person with truly thin, flat hair.

There's a difference between fine hair and thin hair. I have super fine straight hair but lots of it. It tangles super easy. He didn't say anything about the model having thin hair, it says "fine" hair, which is the thickness of the individual strands.

Finally a technique that works! I have always had not much, fine, silky, straight hair that won’t hold a curl or even a bend longer than a couple of hours. Now that I’m 59 and thinning and have even less hair than ever, I was shopping for hair toppers. Then I saw this video and using the regular drugstore products I had on hand, I was happily surprised at how well this technique works and lasts throughout the day! I feel like for the first time, I have volume to be proud of. Guess you can teach an old dog new tricks, thank you very much! This is my go-to way of doing my hair now.

I think we have a different definition of "straight, fine, flat hair"

[LouLouCatchoo]

Cosmo Instructor here: “Fine” refers to Texture, which is the diameter of the individual hair strand (Fine, Medium, Coarse); “Thin” refers to density, the number of hairs in a square-inch (Thin, Average, Thick); “Formation” is the shape of the strand—or moreover, the ‘movement’—as in straight, wavy, curly, v. curly/coily.

I’d say the model has Fine texture, Medium density (you can see scalp through the hair at the part, below the active/working section, but not too much), and a straight formation, though, again looking at her scalp, there’s a bend at the root, so she may have a slightly wavy formation and they just smoothed her out before the demo.

It is possible for someone to have Course/Thin hair or Fine/Thick hair—in any Formation—and Pattern ((hair can vary across the different areas of the head (thicker in the nape/neck, finer in the fringe/bang, etc.)))

As far as the comments on the color: it’s fabulous! Stop hating!

Well, looks great - especially because the model has thick, beautiful hair.

That was a great introduction to adding volume. It's so nice to have quick lessons from professionals like this in an instant.

I've tried this and it really works for me. I have fine hair which is slightly wavy. I absolutely HATE going to the hairdressers because it was about 6 years ago that the only one I liked moved away. So I only go for a DRY trim (they always take too much off and you can't tell when it's wet). I will NEVER let anyone cut my bangs. I do it myself with an old trick I learned years ago. If you don't want blunt bangs but ones that come down on the sides try this: Grap your bangs, wet or dry, twist them really really tight. And with very sharp scissors, cut a TINY bit off the bottom where the twist has ended. You can always do it again if you want them shorter. Works for me every time!

I shouldn't have read the comments. Dear God. Anyway, thank you. I used this for my sisters wedding, she has fine thin hair, and it held up beautifully. You have a beautiful smile. Really enjoyed the lesson.

This is SO HELPFUL, and easy to do. I have fine, straight hair… and I have a lot of it. My crown is always really flat - so I can’t wait to try this after I get a few inches cut off!

[TheMamasilver]

Too many of you just do nothing but complain!!! Wow!! Her hair is layered. Thin hair that is layered LOOKS thicker. Also, this is different than just ratting your hair because her combs it out and makes it touchable. I think he did a fabulous job. Thank you for the great advice!

[carriecusenz]

I can't wait to try this technique, I've never been successful with any type of back combing or teasing before, but this is a very different method and looks very doable. And her hair color is absolutely stunning, I can't stop looking at it, it's perfection!! My daughter is a redhead and I just love it!!

[SharonAdams-vh]

Your family is so blessed there's alot of love there, you are a real gentel men with great respect, love and kindness etc. May God bless you and your family abundantly 🙏❤🤗

[Wonderland]

Perfect, this is exactly what I was looking for. I have straight, fine hair -lots of it, but it's all fine and straight as a stick. This is wonderful!

Michael: "That would be too much volume."
Me: "I live in Texas, there's no such thing. The higher the hair, the closer to God."

[MissJessicaMakeup]

I have severe hair loss from a adrenal disease & living proof seriously changed my life . This brand is everything y’all . If you’re second guessing trying it, don’t !
