Hair flat and floppy

Lots of backcombing and lacquer, from the look of it.

Remember he was part of the 60s generation. Remember back combing and aerosols of hair lacquer? I do.

How on earth does Donald Trump always keep his hair in place - even when he stands and waves from the top of the steps to get on a plane? Makes me growl (with envy).

That is the one thing that makes my hair stand on end.

I blame Brexit.

Isn't hair meant to be flat and floppy? Mine has never been anything else.

My motto is 'work with it', which is why I have neat flat floppy bobs, always with a fringe.

I always get on well with Charles Worthington's volume range. My hair is very fine and tends to flop and I had had it in a bob for several years but then fancied a change all that blow drying was getting a bit tedious. Told my hairdresser and wow....she went for it. I've now got what's called a 'pixie' cut very short but somehow she's added texture by clever undercutting. Now its a quick wash and a dab of 'pixie paste' to add body and I'm off. No, I'm no spring chicken and do not have one of those cute little faces but honestly so many people have said its a brilliant cut and rather flattering (!) and its certainly a lot less trouble...if just a bit draughty on some days.

I have used Paul Mitchel shampoo now for several years plus Paul Mitchell hair boost and Paul Mitchell thicken up. I don't use conditioner at all as it makes my hair too soft. These products work for me. I have naturally curly hair and only need to go to the hairdresser once a week as I had a stroke 7 years ago and can't wash my hair myself.

Lucky use a volume shampoo, no conditioner, and rough dry hair with a towel.Leave for a while then with head upside down distribute hair mousse to the roots.Part dry with head upside down, then style as normal.

My hair is always flat after it gets professionally blowdried, so i always walk out of salon with wet hair and dry it myself when i get home - its the cut that matters! Dry shampoo amazing or sea spray powder for men.

Hair mousse is brilliant for giving hair body and lift. Apply to damp hair, then dry as normal.

I get mine from Boots Auntieflo!

When you do wash it try using volumiser products. I have fine, fly away straight hair and use the John Frieda products to give it some body. I have proberly tried most of the volumising shampoos etc., on the market some work better than others but these do seem to work for me. Tend to dry the hair out a bit so don't use them every time I wash my hair but mine would be totally flat otherwise, especially when it's damp.

Buffybee I always used John Frieda Frizz Ease hairspray, but can’t find it now.

My hair is thick, fine and blows about, I have akways put laquer on but I realise it doesn't help. I tried it long and tied back, easiest of the lot but felt I was getting too old for it, it didn't quite match my face when it wasn't tied back but neither is this flat floppy Bob which looks great until fresh hair gets to it. It will be hats on for me until the spring and I can tie it back again. However according to popular belief I have now become invisible as no one looks at you after a certain age, but I do.?

Lucky, my young hairdresser thinks it's hilarious when I say I want some laquer on.
Then another stylist will turn around and ask what I'd said and start giggling as well, then young junior pipes up, "What's laquer?".
And we all end up laughing away!
It makes me feel like a dinosaur but at least I keep them amused.

Washing with toilet soap I find gets my hair literally squeaky clean rid of build up and then is has more body. I sleek on a little tiny blob of argan oil for shine as my white hair is very dry.

Thanks everyone. I am going to back comb and laquer until it is rigid tomorrow.??

I have a tub of hair wax. If I want to make my very short hair more spiky I just work it through my hair with my fingers to create more style and texture. Lots of good products in large supermarkets and chemists.

There should be a Viagra shampoo.

I don't do anything other than spray it and run my fingers through.
You can also use baking powder or talc.

As Miss Adventure suggested, spray dry shampoo on the roots, blow dry, then a liberal spray of hair spray. John Freida,
Frizz ease is really good.
I also have a set of travel electric hair rollers that are great for adding body and bounce.

Have you got any dry shampoo?
Its really good for keeping a new 'do' going for a good few days.
