I have fine hair, and it’s hard not to burn with envy when a friend tells me they only have to wash their hair “once a week or so.” As I have smaller, less porous strands of hair (which often betray me by glistening with oil at the root mere hours after washing), it feels like I’m stuck in a constant time loop of washing and drying my hair - and that’s before I even factor in the time spent trying to will some body into it.īut fine hair doesn’t have to be a nuisance.
