I have fine hair but alot of it?

My ponytail measures 4.5 last time I checked; but my hair strands themselves are fine. Does that mean I have thin hair? Or am I overthinking it? :P

Your hair is fine and thick. The term "fine" has been used to mean "thin" in many cases, but they are best considered as separate classifications. My hair is also fine and thick. It's definitely a handful as a hairtype!

The "fine" refers to the texture of individual hair strand while the third classifier "iii" indicates that you have a lot of them (hence the ponytail circumference of 4.5)
So it just means that you have fine strands but a lot of hair! We have some members with similar classifications as you you can check out the article section for an article written by Phalaenopsis on how to handle thick fine-textured hair

No, you definitely have thick hair.

I sorta feel your pain on this one - my hair has a tendency to be *extremely* voluminous. I thought it had calmed down since puberty, but no, I'm growing it out now and there's a big demarcation line where the hairdresser thinned it to death and it looks like the beginnings of another where my stress-and-illness shed is growing out.

But yeah. Definitely not thin hair. Thin hair is less than 2 inches of ponytail, nomatter what the individual strands feel like.

I ahve fine and thick hair too I asked my hairdresser, because we have similar looking curls, but her hair strands of hair are double the thickness of mine when compared side by side. So I am definitely fine but thick haired.

Your my hair twin! People get thin hair and fine hair mixed up. Fine is your individual hairs and thick is your overall volume or thickness!

You have thick hair with fine strands; by no means is your hair thin.

Handy article by Phalaenopsis here. (She's a 1a, but it's still worth a read for a wurly. )

My hairdresser says this to me all the time. "Your hair is so fine but there's so darn much of it!"
