Looking for a fine hair hairstyle....

It sounds like you're fighting against your hair instead of working with it. I have soft, fine hair too. Beyond a certain length, it's just going to look limp and and lank. When I was younger and it was a lot thicker, I could do long styles. With age and natural thinning, that's simply not realistic anymore.

If you insist on keeping the length, you're going to have to turn to lots of product and heated styling tools - both of which can damage hair with regular use. Which is just going to make it thinner and limper.

Maybe consider a length above the shoulders with some slight layering to add volume?

Same type hair.

I now have mine just long enough that the stylist can almost make each side meet under my chin (when she pulls it forward to check that the sides are evenly cut.)

This is the first time in my life that my hair looks good every day. When I wash/dry it, I use huge roller brush and make ends turn under. Hairspray on those ends keep the ends slightly turned under.

I have thin, fine hair. The longer it was, the more limp and lifeless it looked.
I haven't had long hair since high school; got it cut shorter right after graduation.

The right cut, with some movement and layers to it can help - mine isn't as stick-straight and lifeless as I thought; removing the length takes off weight that pulls it down and you can actually have some semblance of body to it.

I'd recommend considering a shorter cut.

My hair is also a very fine texture, but I have a ton of it. It’s stick straight and will not hold a curl for more than an hour or so. Right now my hair is long (mid back). I need to do something but I’m not sure what!

I have fine naturaly wavy hir but a lot of it when it goes past my shoulders it looks limp and frail.

Yesterday I had it cut to my shoulders in a cute bob. I also have it colored. I will grow it out some but my hair has so much life again!

I have very fine and thin hair as well. I have been growing it out after having an asymmetrical bob so I have more options when I style it. Luckily my hair dresser also has he same thin, fine hair texture that I have so she understands my issues.

So first I would suggest looking for a stylist with hair that matches your texture AND who styles their own hair in a way you like. Lately I have really been into textured piecy styles so when I mentioned that to my hair dresser she immediately started doing razor cuts and added in face framing layers that I could “piece” using texturizing spray.

Texturizing spray will be your best friend. I like the $10 bottle from Target by Kristen Ess. I hold the piece I want and do a spritz, hold it until the spray dries and I have volume and movement. I have always had “blah” lifeless limp hair until I started using texturizing spray.

My hair is fine, straight, and limp. I have it just to my shoulders in a bob with long layers. I do have long, side swept bangs. I think I look better with bangs. The long layers in my hair are especially helpful in making my hair look less flat

I also have very fine, thin hair and had it around shoulder length when I was younger, enduring perms, blow dryers and lots of effort just to have some body. As I got older my hair was too fine to even make a decent ponytail and I pinned it up a lot of time. Made me feel like my grandmother. About 10 years ago I gave in to a stylist's suggestion to try a bob. That looked great. For a while - until I decided I was tired of having to blow dry and style it to make it look good.

I now have a pixie cut. I never thought I'd like short hair , but it's a good style for me and my super fine hair. There are some variations I've seen on catalog models that also look great but my hair is too fine for them. The short pixie cut does need to be cut very frequently, though. That was my biggest surprise. I used to get to the salon every 8+ weeks. Now with the pixie cut after 3 weeks I feel it needs to be trimmed to maintain shape. But I love that it's so easy to add some product and finger style in less than 5 min. I can't remember the last time I used a brush or comb! Best of all are the complements. I doubt I'll go back to longer hair. lol up photos of styles that work for fine hair and then ask a stylist which would work for you. Good luck. It can be a tough decision to cut hair short, but I'm really glad I did.
