Donating YT 4000 Club Member | Need hairstyle ideas My 15 year-old is getting ready to start her Junior year of HS. She's got very fine, stick straight hair that wants to fall straight down her face. I want to find some hair style ideas that will help keep it out of her eyes, yet still be fairly long. She wants to keep it fairly long because she needs to pull it back for her culinary classes, but she's also extremely resistant to anything involving hair clips, barrettes or anything else "girly". Any suggestions? Pics you can point me towards?

Also, she can wear bobbypins that are the same color as her hair...I don't think it's too girly because it'll camoflauge with her hair

The curse of fine, straight hair. I was blessed with the same gift. And let me just say, it is hard to find hair styles that work for us. What looks good in a picture never looks the same on my hair. It stinks!! Usually with the fine hair, the shorter it is the more body it appears to have. Longer is usually hard for us. Really the only option I have found is long and straight or a shorter cut. I can't wait to see if others have a suggestion here! I go to the hair dresser tomorrow.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Are you serious for a high schooler????? Lol, I must be totally out of it! Straight hair requires a really good precision haircut, but generally you don’t have to spend that much time blow dying and styling, enjoy the straightness!

@KJC- No weaves or extensions for her. She's a total tomboy and would never go for anything like that.

| What about a modern shag cut? I still see lots of pictures of those in the hair magazines. I have fine hair (I'm too old for a shag though); but they worked for me back in the day. You absolutely have to get a hairdresser that can work with fine hair. If you find one; he or she will be worth their weight in gold!

| I have that straight, super fine, hair and one of my daughters was blessed with it as well. I hate it! My daughter does a better job of keeping a style with hers than I do with mine. Do you have facebook? You could see pictures of her there. My daughter was/is a tomboy, but if you seen pictures of her today, you would never know it. She came out of it around her Jr. year in HS when prom and all that girly stuff became important. She still doesn't mind getting her hands dirty, but she can get in touch with her girly side when she wants to.

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | Well, she chose to get it cut in a kind of shag style. I think it's really cute, but she hates it at the moment. Ugh. She did agree to buy a little bit of makeup today, so maybe she's starting to finally take some baby steps in to womanhood. I don't hold out any hope of ever seeing her in a dress, though

It never fails though, all of her friends with wavy/curly hair want theirs to be stick straight. She wants some wave to hers and it just won't hold. The grass is greener syndrome strikes again.

| I have a 17 year old son so I don't have to worry. I also have fine straight hair. I have never been able to find a style that works because the style just falls out. Most Tomboy girls I see at the high school seem to always keep their hair in a ponytail and some of them have beautiful hair but you never know, a girl my son used to like (total tomboy , plays fast pitch softball) always had her hair like this but now that she is older, 17 she wears make up and wears her hair down at school. I would have never expected this.

| I was going to suggest a headband or pulling up the crown in the center with two bobby pins, but it sounds like that wouldn't have been her taste anyways. I wonder if bangs would actually help the situation?

No Longer a Member | I have a sister with this type of hair and it's impossible for me to convince her that the shorter it is the more body it appears to have. Here are some ideas that I like (only 23 here) and I think HS age girls can pull them off. Good luck, teenagers are impossible to please |
