Trish Bresolin: Oh, my hair started thinning about a year ago (just after I turned 50). My hair was already fine also. I'm so glad you've touched on this subject so now we don't all feel so alone in our challenge x

Barbara Dempsey: Marie-Anne, this is such an important topic. Like many women past menopause, I have fine thinning hair. I took collagen and biotin supplements, but the only thing that has helped me is Minoxil 5% (Rogaine). I saw results after 3-4 months, but now have to apply it to my head every night. Ugh! Thank you, I will try your suggestions. I am always looking for good products.

Lauren Riach: Hi Marie - -Anne I have thin hair too. After the menopause it has got even thinner. Will definitely try these products. x

Diane Boross: Your hair looks shinier too! But, I must confess, I really love your hair in a pixie cut on you. When you keep hair short with frequent cuts, you don't have to worry about over-drying as much. Of course, I keep my hair short, so am slightly biased.

Joanne Wilson: Good evening! Your hair definitely loves it! As someone else mentioned, coloring it could very well be making the thinning worse. I quit coloring my hair several years ago and it definitely got thicker and healthier. We're not talking super thick, but noticably better. Over the past 3 years I've lost all of my hair twice due to chemo, so I am not too attached to my hair anymore (no pun intended). It now grows at a glacial pace and I think it may be thinner. Not sure yet. I think I will try to find this shampoo and conditioner. Thanks for the tip!

Kitty Exotica: I just had my hair cut into a pixie (Judi Dench style). Lockdown just seemed like the perfect timing. I LOVE it! I get up, run my fingers through it and it's done.

bnenomore: Honestly Marie-Anne, you're so beautiful you'd look amazing with no hair ♡ Or even a pixie cut :) My mom swears since she gave birth to me & my sister, we sucked all of her beautiful hair from her I will absolutely recommend this product to my mom. She's been self conscious about her thinning hair for years now :( & as her daughter, I better take note! Lol

Lucine Khachatrian: Hi Marie-Anne. I’ve also heard good things about these products. Will definitely give it a try. I’m using henna at the moment and it’s amazing. My hair gets lush and thick and so much easier to play around with different styles. Thanks again for the great video ❤️

mary carneyujjjujhhuu: Hi Marie-Anne, I’m delighted to tell you I have ordered your Vichy skin care product recommendations on line as the only one available in my pharmacy was Liftactiv rose platinum moisturiser ( which I purchased)! So now I’m excited ! The hand & nail cream not available but I’ll try again for that. I’ll let you know how I get on & I’ll be ordering hair products too as, like you I have fine flyaway hair. Many, many thanks. X

Michelle Kelly: Your hair definitely looked in better condition after the Vichy hair treatment. My hair (fine, straight) started thinning in my late 40's. It also became drier and more fragile. I had to stop highlighting my hair because of the breakage. One thing that really did help is taking a supplement called Bio-Sil. It's very good for hair, skin and bones! Another thing that I've been doing for the past year is scalp massage. I do it twice a day (morning and night), massaging with fingertips for approx. 3-5 minutes. Once a week, I will massage my scalp with Marula oil (The Ordinary), and lately I've started mixing in a couple of drops of Rosemary Oil, but I've only just started that, so we'll see if it makes any difference. Rosemary Oil is supposed to help with hair growth, so I figured I'd try it. I was already using the oil anyway. Prior to starting the scalp massage, I was losing a lot of hair in the shower when I'd wash my hair, and it was scaring me. I'm very happy to say that the scalp massage has definitely made a huge difference for me. I no longer get clumps of hair in the drain catcher when I shower. I do get some hair, but not nearly what it was. Lastly, you may want to consider gradually going a few shades lighter with your hair colour so that there isn't such a sharp contrast between your scalp and hair colour. You've probably always had darker hair, but it may be time to lighten it a bit so that the thinning isn't so noticeable. Anyway, this is what has helped me. I've been reading some of the comments, and I'm going to try some of those too! We all need to help one another! Bonne chance!

dearmeagan: Hi Marie-Anne, I used to have thin dry hair and someone told me about Organic Australian Bentonite Clay Powder. For your short hair you will only need 2-3 heaped teaspoons in a bowl and just add a little water to make it look like the consistency of yogurt, apply to your scalp and massage, then spread the rest from root to ends. Cover your head with a shower cap and leave on your hair for 20 minutes minimum. Bentonite Clay will not only clean your hair extremely well but will condition it too. If you do this every time your hair needs a wash it will improve the dryness of your hair and also take out any frizziness. Your hair will improve after each application. Bentonite Clay has cleaning and conditioning properties and is full of earths minerals. Stay away from conventional shampoos and conditioners, you'll thank me. (you can buy this economically from ebay).

Patricia: Thank you Marie-Anne for starting the conversation about this sensitive topic. I too have thinning hair after menopause. I have had great success with a woman's formula 2% Minoxidil topical solution product. It has had a remarkable effect on the thickness of my hair especially around the hairline on my forehead. I can't say that it improved the texture of my hair but it has definitely improved the quantity. The cost is around $40 USD for a three month supply. It can take 12 weeks to see improvement, so give it a chance to work. Also I would caution against using the men's strength product or 5% solution as unwanted hair growth can be a problem when using it. Trust me on that one!! LOL. Thank you again for your excellent advice and inspiration.

Anna Knowles: Thank you for the recommendation, Marie-Anne. I have problem hair too - not too thin, but very fine, flat and impossible to style in a way that suits my face shape. An interesting point, though: I hadn't noticed your hair 'problem' until you pointed it out! You dress beautifully, and carry yourself with elegance and confidence so no one notices the problem. You clearly and wisely follow your own (French!) advice!

Christine D: Marie Anne, your hair looks amazing with this shampoo and conditioner. Looks like your hair is double in volume, I love when a product does what it says it will do. You look beautiful ❤️ Here are other tips, never use a towel to dry your hair, but use a old tee shirt, it’s easier on your hair and helps with breakage, also green tee is very good for hair, Matcha tee is even better. I am sure you have heard of biotin, but a hair vitamin with collagen & biotin is good idea to start taking daily, I saw a very big difference when I started taking a good hair vitamin. I think as we age, we must treat our hair like silk, using a wide tooth wooden comb to comb your hair when it is wet is also a good idea, I bought mine on amazon. Enjoy your hair with these amazing products

Susan Maraglino: I have similar hair as I age, and finding the right combination is tough. I will try this duo you show us today but also want to leave a little tip of my own- L'Occitane essence cuir chevelu force and densite. I had to send for it from France as I could not find the product in the states- BUT it does what it says it will. I am in my second bottle, using it daily with a little scalp massage at the root. BTW_ I love your channel and check in every day Bonne Soir !

CJM: Merci Marie-Anne, for the lovely Vichy review. Have heard that Leonor Greyl oil (may have misspelled), before shampooing works well. I use coconut oil before washing and it thickens my hair. Also, I believe in the power of taking herbs, and no hair "fryer"!

David C Solano: I started to lose lots of hair in my crown area about 6 years ago. It became very thin there and to my horror, I could see part of my scalp. I began using essential oils ( rosemary, mint, ginger and green tea). It didn’t grow back but it stopped falling as it used to. Now I will look for your products as losing hair is my biggest fear! Thanks for sharing Marie-Anne!

Patricia Bond: Wow so much of a difference after just one use!!! Amazing your hair looks lovely & it looks soft too

Mep: Oh Marie-Anne so many of us struggle with this problem. Mine is after chemo and hair much thinner after regrowth. I use a British make, Grow Me which I find very good but whatever works is great. And sometimes it’s good to change products now and again. If your hair improves after just one wash it’s obviously a good product. Good luck with it x

Mcm: Thanks Marie-Anne . I too struggle with fine frizzy etc hair and have found Living Proof products to be excellent . It's just about trial and error but personally I avoid anything with silicone

Attila Thehen: It’s a definite improvement. I’ve always had fine, thin hair, and now it’s a bit shorter than yours. I wash it most days in bog standard mild shampoo and conditioner for oily hair and I’m happy. I’m blessed to be a natural platinum blond.....going white.... and so I don’t colour it. I could certainly do with it being a little thicker looking, though.

Who said that?: Lightening up the colouring helps as when you colour hair dark you can see the scalp more. Also different shades as opposed to one dark flat shade works better.

Bonnie Oliver: I agree, this product has obviously been beneficial. I too, at 68 years of age, suffer from thinning hair. I still wear it in a short bob cut, but I have been giving serious thought to a style such as yours. I will try to find this Vichy product here in Italy via Amazon, because your good results are obvious! You look fantastic! It is a little heartbreaking for a woman to begin to lose their “crown of glory”. I have tried Several different products without much success, I take nutritional supplements, use Minoxidil, but the key to this approach is consistency! You must use the products daily and with a busy schedule and social life it is sometimes difficult to do it all daily. I think you are brave to open this discussion because those of us who suffer this condition (me) can feel embarrassed . But, it is a medical condition related to changes in hormone levels and really nothing to be ashamed about. But, we all want to look attractive and losing my crown of glory is a bit distressing. Again, thank you for your guidance you are an inspiration.

Elaine Marsh: I have the same problem, after menopause a lot of things changed. I did not take HRT, or anything else. Also it can be hereditary thing. I used to have thick wavy/curly hair which I could do anything with but that changed, it was Auburn too. My beautiful main. At one stage it really went so thin that the scalp could be seen thru which was distressing. Tried all the pills and potions, including seeing a tricologist, who prescribed a bottle of unction which was useless, together with a costly series of visits to no avail. Would have been better visiting a witch doctor. Doctors also were vague and didn't help. Now, a good few years on my hair has recovered enough to be presentable, it's a golden blonde colour which is natural, and the texture is soft and manageable. I keep it in a short choppy bob style which suits. I use styling and humidity control products which help. Most of all I make sure that my nutrition is good, don't dye my hair, don't over style it and finally accept it and make the most of it. Don't beat yourself up, worrying makes everything worse and doesn't solve anything. Thickening products help fluff up the hair shaft but it is what it is.

Elaine M: The products certainly improved your hair, it looked lovely and shiny after using them. I’ve got long thick hair and I’m in my late 60s - I take a multi vitamin daily and only wash my hair about every 5 days or so with really mild shampoo, which I follow with conditioner for dry hair. I massage my scalp regularly to keep it nourished from within; no oil, just a good massage with my fingers.

Monkey See, Monkey Do: I have fine hair as well and have found Phyto Paris products to be absolutely fantastic. I use their volume shampoo, volume spray and sometimes their intense mousse.

SundanceMom: Thank you, Marie Anne for telling us of these products. I, too suffer from having very fine, fly-away hair. Unfortunately, the company you linked does not ship to the United States. I’ll need to look for a source for this shampoo and hair balm here in America. ❤️

Elise Kuby: I have very fine hair as well. This was okay when I was younger, because I had so much more volume! But, alas, I have lost so much of it as I am aging. I have allowed my hair to grow in the last year, as a short haircut was like wearing dandelion fluff! Now I twist it up in a chignon and it seems to suit me. Presently, I am using a product by Schwarzkopf; it is called 'dazzling.' It is anti-frizz and makes my hair very shiny. Just a minute amount. I shall consider the products that you showed, by Vichy.

Mirjam Boleij: Hi Marie-Anne I have thin and fine hair as well and it’s wavy. I used to wash and blowdry it straight every day and it really damaged it. Now I let it do it’s thing and it feels a lot better. And it even looks thicker without the frequent washing and drying. I really like the products from Oway. The are Italian, all natural, organic and sulphate free. They come in beautiful glass packaging. Highly recommend.

chickgreek: Hello Marie-Anne, I had thinning hair some time ago and use a product called Nioxin - there is a shampoo and serum that is applied to the hair after washing - it is available in many stores and hair salons as well as on amazon, and Toppix - which is a hair filler that is the most amazing product ever invented and available direct on their website. You simply use the applicator after you style and blow dry your hair before any hair spray, if you use any, and it shoots out powder matched to your hair color that fills in where your hair is thinning. I swear by these brands and they are widely available in the US and Canada. My hair has filled in since using Nioxin now for 5 years - It is fuller and shinier. Hope this information is helpful to some of your viewers. You look great!

Lauren Riach: Forgot to add that sometimes I use Batiste volumizing dry shampoo to bulk out my hair. I also just started taking menopace supplements and silica tablets to see if they help.

E Dennis: I, too, have very fine and thinning hair. Winter has always been very bad for my hair; the climate gets very cold and dry, so static becomes non-stop. Well, I was trying a coffee rinse (just plain brewed coffee) to stimulate the hair follicles, and discovered that it cured my fly-aways! It also added a very nice touch of richer color and shine to my brown hair.

Deborah Mac: I'm definitely having the same issues. Fine hair that is much drier than what I once had. When the greys come in they can change to dry coarse texture. I am going to give these products a try. Something I have added to my routine is daily collagen protien powder. Just a scoop a day in a cup of coffee. Ive had wonderful improvements with my hair, nails, joints and skin after two months. I recommend and will be staying with it. Now let me look into this new product. I see nice results on your hair.

Karen Reiter: Thank you so much. I am so excited because I just purchased the Vichy hair products! I can’t wait to try them. Your hair looks very healthy and thicker, Marie-Anne. Oh this is a very good day. Thank you again. ❤️❤️

Krissy Wilson: I am 67 and I have fine thin hair but it looks much better today. I have really improved the thickness by using the following: Olaplex No. 3,4,5 and 6. I also use a henna for color. I use the Colleen Rothschild Hair Masque when needed. For styling products I use Kenra Root lifting spray, Boldify hair thickening spray, Big Sexy Hair powder play and Big Sexy Play and spray harder. I use Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk also. I am very happy with all these products and I use them all. I wash my hair every 4 or 5 days. It took me years to find all these great products.

Lipstick Konniption: Minoxidil, fragrance free shampoo / conditioner, curly girl method to take advantage of the frizz into waves. HRT to manage hormonal loss. Now I’m growing out colour to transition to grey. Hair is a journey

ann miller: The other thing to watch is many common medications have hair thinning as a side effect. Thank you for the video Marie-Anne, There does seem to a visible improvement in the texture of your hair so I will give these products a try.

Devan Wilhalme: I have problem fine thin hair too. I will definitely try these products out. Thank you Marie Ann for the suggestion . Hope you are doing well

Louise Dolloff: I have fine hair and tons of it, even after menopause. My hair gets frizzy easily and I was having trouble with it being crunchy until I got a water filter that fits on the shower. The filter took out the chlorine in the water and my hair is no longer crunchy and I have less frizzy days

Denise Herud: When you showed your hair after one use of the products, it looked like you’d been to the salon They really seem to smooth, add shine and tame frizz...I honestly thought maybe you’d touched up with an iron bc the difference was that noticeable. I hope you’ll post again in a few months to see how this keeps working

Holly mere: I too am a woman of a certain age and have hair thinning. I started taking extra biotin and Vitamin D along with my multiple vitamin. It has helped a small bit. I did also change shampoo and conditioner. This has also helped a wee bit. But, I am going to look for this French product here In the US. I can really tell the difference in your hair. Lovely.

Michelle S: I started taking biotin and collagen powder about 8 months ago I have fine hair too but it is much improved now I also bought a silk pillowcase around that time these seem to have worked for me I'm sure it's a combination of things I stopped colouring my hair 3 months ago if I can tolerate the grey growing back I'm not colouring it again, I also avoid towel drying or any rough fabrics, I wrap my hair in a T Shirt then let it air dry. I wash it about 4 times a week. Dr Dray dermatologist on here has some very good tips for hair growth and care if anyone is interested

Holly Golightly: I think your Vichy products really made your hair look great! Wow. I need to try them. Thank you ☺️

Jackie Azadi: I hope that you are feeling well. Thank you for the tip. I will look into the shampoo and conditioner. I too have fine thin hair. I used to have a lot of fine hair and now I have a little fine hair. It’s so frustrating. My hair is curly/wavy and some pieces on top have straightened. I stopped coloring my hair about 2 years ago and try not to use heat on it. I also stay away from products with sulfates and parabens. The products that I choose add hydration. It is important that I baby my hair, no rough towel drying, limit shampooing and add moisture any way I can.

Janet Hothersall: I am definitely going to try this, my hair is so fine it’s like a babies! ...thanks for the info ...am I’m still waiting for the Vichy skincare you covered last week, I’m going to have no money left!

Cheryl Gascon: The Japanese have just published a study that taking 2 tablespoons of cold pressed flax seed oil a day (available from health food stores) will stop hair loss in women. I have been taking it for years and it really works. I am 68 years old. Also, flax seed oil is good for the skin, I do not have a wrinkle on my face! It has many other benefits for the body. Do your own research and check with your Doctor before taking.

memdy: Bonjour Marie-Anne. Thanks for the recommendations. I went to the store to get some; they didn't have the shampoo and conditioner; I'll keep looking, though! I did get 2 lovely Vichy products. Thanks again❣

Marie Eymeri: Bonjour Marie-Anne, thinning hair and hair loss can be terribly worrying. The treatment I received for a major hair loss, due to stress, aged 40, was injections of a vitamin B1, B6, B12 complex, for months. It worked, but it required patience. And the pharmacy product minoxidil can eventually be applied afterwards, but only under strict medical supervision. Bonne soiree, Marie Anne and please continue your great style, beauty health videos, they are precious .

Zoraida Rodriguez: Bonjour Marie Anne, it looks great. I must try it myself as my hair is very thin also. Just what I needed. Merci

Nancy Wheeler: Your hair definitely has more shine and looks silkier.☺ I have sort of thick hair, but it's very fine and goes limp really quickly. It never frizzes, it just gets sad & limp. My "big hair" trick is the Big Sexy Hair Root Pump Mousse and a blowdryer. Then a tiny bit of Redken Rough Paste once it's dry. I have twice as much hair if I do all this. This blowout will last about 3 days, before I have to wash it. I've been using Biolage shampoo & conditioner for a long time. I also use "It's a 10" Miracle Leave In treatment every time I wash my hair, as well. It has keratin & I think it helps my hair grow and also protects it from the heat of the blowdryer. If I want even more volume, I will use hot rollers or a curling iron, but that's only very occasionally. But I get seriously big Beauty Pageant hair that will last a few days. All the products really do make a difference.

Taunya Wren: Yes, the products worked it looks better. I love your color as well. I have very fine hair.,but I have a lot of hair. However it does break easily from coloring or blow drying, especially now that I’m older. My hair use to be straight, now I have some that is wavy,probably the grey’s & humidity. I live in the USA so I’m not sure what is available there. My favorite shampoo is by Kevin Murphy Angel wash, & a conditioner as well. And John Masters Honey shampoo. But what your doing looks good. I would try a leave in conditioner and or styling cream. I like Matrix anti frizz, cream, Color Wow dream coat spray for blow drying & Wella Reflections Smoothing Oil. All of these don’t weigh my hair down but help me with texture and some frizz.

Denise Ottie: 2 years ago I was beside myself with the way my hair looked and behaved It was medium length, and it was no longer shiny, and it was getting fuzzy. it was getting thinner and worst of all it was my birthday so you can imagine I was very unhappy. I went to my dermatologist who has hair like Rapunzel. She recommended the Parisian line of shampoos by Kerastase. I started using immediately and loved the brand. Soon after I was in Paris and I noticed that all the hair salons were advertising Kerastase. So when I returned home I researched them on the Internet, found a certified hair salon carrying the brand equipped to also analyze my hair and treat it. Now I'm extra happy. I also started taking biotin and vitamin D3 to encourage hair growth.

Rebecca Lancaster: Thanks for the review. Is there any way to get these products in the US? Went to the website and tried to order but don't have a "valid" zipcode.

Lucja Grabowska: your hair looks really beautiful and shining, but I must admit that I too love the very short haircut on you, Marie Anne!

Paula Laye: Bonjour mon cherie it's always soooo good to see you this Thursday morning, and my hair is getting thinner but use violet shampoo to take out brassiness of my grey, gotta be careful and not leave it on for more than three mins otherwise end up with violet colour hair, not great!!! Hope you're feeling better now love you Paula in uk

Marie Eymeri: Chere Marie Anne, dont worry, your hair looks good. Hair does thin a bit during the menopause years but generally improves afterwards. Dercos shampoos are excellent. Bonne soiree!

Robin M Fruth Realtor eXp Realty of CA: Thank you for posting. Great advice!

odin moreira: Bonjour Marie-Anne. I'm a hairstylist with a lot of clients with thinner hair types. If I may suggest you should add a few highlights to your hair. It would give a bit more dimension and help it look a bit more fuller. Your base color is a bit too dark to be solid, monochromatic given more contrast between your hair and scalp and that makes your hair look even thinner. A softer , caramel toned highlights would compliment your eye color and skin tone very lovely. I hope you don't mind me saying so. Also Nioxin products are amazing for finer hair types. Bonne journee.

Claires Knee: That looks good! Also you could try using Monat shampoo. It worked for my sister.

Lil_ Nybble: Marie-Anne - Your hair definitely looks better. You could also try rinsing your hair with fermented rice water. It is a big trend on the internet. Here is a dermatologist talking about it and how to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpRre1a7Zfg

stupor mundi: The difference shows on camera, it looks wonderfull and fuller. I have never benn disappointed with Vichy products but I have only tried skin care. I must try this one as I also have fine hair!

mermaid42ga: Hi I love your hair and that’s amazing how that shampoo and cleansing balm totally works. I live in the states so I’m not sure how I can get my hands on this product. Do you know where I could?

Lisa Severino: I use Olaplex 3 and sometimes Olaplex6 treatment in my hair and I take Hair, Skin and nail herbs. Eating oily fish and adding avocado to your diet is great for the hair.

TheDriftwoodlover: The products give your hair a nice lustre. I get a fuller look with Hask Biotin Boost shampoo/conditioner containing biotin, collagen and coffee. (Sadly, no lovely coffee aroma.) My hairline is receding in male pattern baldness caused by a medication. I also take biotin supplement which really makes my eyelashes thicker (eyelashes nonexistent due to med mentioned earlier). I find periodic hair treatment with olive oil helps the look and dryness. Just massage it in and let it soak 20 min or so. When I was younger I never saw thinning hair in women the age I am now ... but I see it everywhere now. And I had the thickest hair (actually the back of my head still pretty thick but the receding hairline is so depressing. I tell my stylist I’ll be in a wig before long.

Ida Saenz: I love the colour medium brown. I have curly hair and thinning hair in front. Thanks for tips

D Win: My holy-gails: Henne neutral (2 - 3 times per year). 1 time per week: Aloe-Gel from Action-Market, als leave-in and on my head after I washed my hair. My hair routine: Water my hair, take "Savon de Marseille" avec lavande, "Cora"-branded (4x100gr in a pack; 1,12 Euros) and "scrubb"my hair with the soap for a few seconds. Rinse my hair to wash out the soap. Then "wash" my hair for a few seconds with vinaigre-water (1 soup-spoon 25% vinaigre mixed with 1 liter fresh warm water). After that I rinse my hair again with fresh warm water and then with fresh cooler water. My hear drys very fast, feals great and looks shiny "like new". I do this to my hair since more then 10 years (early years just "savon de Marseille" now "Lavande-Savon de Marseille"). I use SdM for my whole body, since years. I don't live in france. So every time I'm there I bye this soap which I need until I will be in france next time.

Annette: Hi Marie. Way over here in India, we use oil on our hair. Most popularly, coconut. Just take two or three drops and rub it vigorously on the top after washing your hair while it is still half damp. That little bit of oil then spreads to the rest of the scalp over the next few days as we brush and comb our hair. We also generally wash our hair only twice a week. This way we have less flyaways and not so dry hair (I'm talking of the middle aged... Our youngsters have gorgeous hair) We have many other treatments too. Too many to list here. Women with the best hair in our country are from Kerala, one of our southern states. Maybe you can check up on their habits and lifestyle to get some ideas.

Emanuela Davini: Ciao Marie Anne, have you considered taking biotin? Do you lack any vitamin? I guess this is the way to check out for hair problems

Mary Buchanan: I use Aubrey biotin repair shampoo and conditioner. Works great. Do you know of a US site that sells Vichy products?

jackie germann: Your hair looks amazing!

Adele Turner: Thank you for sharing your recommendation Marie-Anne

flufftronable: Marie-Anne, a brand that is great is Viviscal is great and much more affordable than vichy, also available in Boots

Gail Spear: It’s the colouring that dries the hair

C S: You need to stop coloring your hair and let it go silver. Dyes stump the growth of hair at the root and make new hairs fall out. You don't notice it because these are tiny hairs the length of eyebrow hairs. When you stop coloring your hair all of those tiny hairs stay in and your hair will be thicker because you will actually have more hair on your head. Uncolored hair is often thicker and has more natural shine than colored hair.

Anne M: Your hair looks beautiful— so full and shiny! I would love these products, but unfortunately I can’t find a place that ships to the USA. C’est la vie.

Shannon Alwaise: I would try this. I have quite a bit of hair but fine texture. Right now I am using Biolage Volumebloom.

Karolina Mlynarczyk: Bonjour Marie-Anne, have You consider that You could have wavy hair? If so, wavy/curly hair is way more fragile than straight one.

Patty: Your hair looks beautiful!

Robin Moore: I have fine hair, but it is a "fake out". I can achieve a lot of volume because it has a lot of "unruly" curl to it. No one told me that menopause could cause hair loss. Well, it did. I use Rogaine every day. I also use Head & Shoulders dandruff shampoo because it "doubles up" on problem solving a bit for me. Rogaine can cause a bit of a buildup on the scalp that the dandruff shampoo addresses- as well as one of the ingredients has been shown to sort of break up a hormone within the scalp that contributes to hair loss. Just a tip. I only use that really briefly, and follow up with a good conditioner. I take biotin as well. I've had to change my part as it is ever widening.

love_agapi_m: My hair thinned after early menopause too. I will have to try these products, just have to find where in the USA I can get it.

Charleen Haynes: My hair is straight and can lack body and go flat. I use volume shampoos and body building products but sometimes they make my hair heavy. I will try the Vichy products, they are new to me, thank you

Natalie Eastaugh: Your hair definitely looks fuller!! Xx

keodi1: Your hair looks great! i will admit, i hove the shorter look on you, it really suits your face shape.

MultiStephanator: Your hair lOoks a lot less frizzy and fly away.. great idea not to shampoo hair so much.. I’m older but have always washed my hair once a week.. originally cause my hair was down to my waist.. but now to my shoulders and I’m growing out to be fully grey., but I am lucky .. I have thick hair.. thx for sharing your recommendations.. Aloha

Dora Shizas: Your hair looks really good

Issi Smith: I have alopecia and eventually I expect to be totally bald.. In the meantime I am trying to keep what I have left as long as possible and have been trying many different combinations.

sdraper2011: Where can we buy Vichy products in the U.S.?

Marjie Cleveland: I can tell the difference! Wow. I wish I could try them but I don't believe they ship to the U.S.

Tami Ewert: Marie-Anne your hair looks better with the Vichy products! As we age, our hair thins, sadly! I found my hair looks far thicker and younger since I stopped colouring my hair dark like yours. I read as we age, we need to lighten our hair colour, so now I'm blonde, and I love it!! When the hair is very dark, the scalp is visible, whereas the lighter colour conceals the skin beneath the hair! Something to consider!

Katie De Luise: Yes I have all ways had fine hair as well but now getting thinner , and putting colour in is bad for hair, have tried lots of products but not much success with them , haven't tried the one you have yet . Ciao.

MsBackstager: I no longer highlight my hair over my root touch up because my hair turns into a dry frizz ball.

Sharon Lee: People who have good nutrition have better hair and skin. Your doctor should always check your thyroid function. I recommend Goldwell products

58southwinds: I too have fine hair...I've used Josh Wood...recommended by Liz Earle..( via a Liz Earle Wellbeing live web chat with him ). Josh wood has a "hair mask.." brilliant ..on all hair even fine ...especially for fluffiness...you leave in for five mins...wash out...he also makes shampoo for fine hair..matched to your hair shade. All excellent. Also ..oil rubbed in and left overnight and washed out is s good tip.
