From THICK to Thin

I have thick hair and it wasn't until in my teens that I discovered hair salons had thinning shears to thin out hair. Thinning out my hair helped relieve what felt like a huge weight off my head from the "so much hair" I have. As a child, I was always told, "You have so much hair," and I still do. But I get it thinned out every couple of months and I love it. Thinning out my hair saves time with drying and styling.

Several years ago I met a hairstylist who I continue to see, she knows exactly how I like my hair cut and styled.  She calls thinning out "texture" or "texturing" and doesn't like to "texture" too much because it can damage hair.

Regardless, she always give me a "texture" when I need one. I've done this for over 15 years and no damage ever, lucky me! If you have thick hair and are tired of it, try getting it thinned out and see if you like the results. If not, the thickness will come back in a month or two.
