Hair help As soon as possible please?

I'm going on a cruise in 2 weeks. I had to get my hair cut short back in January due to a bad straightener in October that left my hair thin, super soft, hard to manage, hard to hold a style, fly away because of the softness, and broken. It's not dry and can't handle a lot of conditioner. Hairspray holds maybe 30 minutes and I'm frightened of wind. I feel like a space alien. What hairspray or mousses would keep my hair holding a shape better without being sticky and breaking my hair? Should I use clip-ins? Why is my hair so soft?? I can't pull it back as it's only chin length and the sides are so thin and shorter than the back. I have to fluff with dryer and comb or brush each day to get any style. I can get it looking okay, but the wind does it in. It's short with bangs on top and sides and a little longer in the back - layered up all over. It's fine and thin and SOFT. I tried mousse this morning but it weighed it down and actually made it harder to do.

Try styling it with Got to be glued. First, dampen your hair and then put it away. I would recommend to use barrettes. Hope this helps!

Try a product called Root Boost by TIGI it is about $20 a bottle and you spray it on your roots when it is wet and then brush it to the ends then style. It will help give your hair body and will make it appear to be thicker.

Good Luck!!!

Maybe try switching shampoos. You need to use something for fine thin hair. I use Pureology Volume, but Boilage has a really gentle poo/condish set for volume (fine thin hair). As far as holding your style without being brittle...maybe try something like Redken Rewind or Redken Guts, which is a mousse but it is for volume (fine/thin hair).

You'll need to change the way you think of your hair. Reduce the amount of heating appliance (blow dryer, flat iron) or reduce the heat of the appliance.

Also, for your cruise, try the natural look. Get waves using something like Redken Touch control and then use a wide fabric headband that ties in the back to keep the wind from blowing it in your face all the time. Throw on a big pair of Nicole Ritchie-esque sunglasses and you'll be adorable!

Have fun! Good Luck!!

I like Paul Mitchell Freeze %26amp; Shine Super Spray or any Got to Be ______ (fill in the blank...glued, spiked, etc.). Both are great STRONG styling products.
