I honestly feel a lit overwhelmed when reading about hair care. My hair is thick, frizzy and dry andI switched to a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner called ogx. Idk if my hair could even be considered 'curly' , but I might try the curl girl method regardless. I'm still a bit confused about the image. For 2, do I just use the conditioner and nothing else? and ,for 3, do I just put it into my hair whenever I try to style it to make it less frizzy, and more straight? Are the hair styles I can do limited?

my hair is naturally curly, but I blow-dry it 2x a week. I noticed that whenever it rains and my hair gets wet, the ringlets are really pretty, but I can never replicate that when I try to do the curly curl method by myself. does anyone know what I can do?

>>194590Watching youtubers with similar hair to yours is the easiest way to learn imo
>do I just put it into my hair whenever I try to style it to make it less frizzy, and more straightNo, the opposite, those products are meant to make your curls or waves more defined. It's called "the curly girl method" because it's meant to define curly hair, not make it straight. From your post it sounds like you have wavy hair, i suggest you look up styling tutorials for type 2 wavy hair

I have to wear this at work, is there ANY, I mean ANY kind of fringe I can have with this? I have straight (maybe only because it's long), thick hair but a bit of a widows peak, so I've always had thick fringes.
I'm feeling like I don't have any options since having to gather up all my hair means that it'll ruin any way a fringe can "set" and I'd have to wet and blowdry it every single day.

>>198282>>198283I have really thick hair and recently cut it sort of like Angie in the pic (mine's maybe a bit longer).
It does get pretty fluffy, it's inevitable unless you thin it out somehow, or are willing to put in the work it takes like ironing it all the time. There's no helping it really, thick hair is a blessing and a curse.
And I don't regret it, it's a nice change from 10 years of just straight hair.

>>198284My hair is past waist but just above my crack, i cut it from being mid butt.
I think a lot of it is genetics. I have thick hair which is wavy.
I dont do much. Wash 1-3 times a week, condition everytime. I use sulphate and paraben free products. I always towel/air dry. I dont have the patience or arm strength to spend 1-2 hours blow drying.
My previous job required my hair to be tied back and braided because of the length, which was really great for my hair. It was always a low pony tail braid because my hair is too heavy for a high pony or bun.
Currently im working at a job who doesnt care, and i can see the difference of always having it down. Im constantly having tiny baby hair fly aways at the top of my head now. I think this might be also to do with a newer shampoo i tried as well though.
I dont agree with the other anon saying not to trim it. I wouldnt trim it every few weeks or months but at least twice a year or before an important event. After about 5 months or so i feel like a ratty elementary school horse girl if i dont trim my ends. I notice it with other long hair girls too, it looks bad if you never trim it.

Is it possible that the porosity of your hair varies depending on your hair length? It generally takes 2 hours and 30 min or so for my hair to fully dry, but I notice that it takes longer for the lower parts of my hair to try. I also did pic rel, and one end of the hair was at the top of the water, and the other end of the hair was at the bottom of the water, so idk

>>198284I have knee length hair. Wash once a week, no heat styling (microfiber hair towels work nicely for cutting dry time), use a boar bristle brush. Avoid brushing your hair while wet.
Also avoid ponytails since elastics can cause breakage at the crown. I usually put my hair up in a low bun with a stick during the day to keep it away from damage.
I do daily search and destroy trimming to manage split ends personally, but that can be a bit of a time investment.

My ponytail thickness hasn’t changed in years, I don’t find a lot of hairs on the pillow or pull out clumps, but my part looks SO wide and sparse. It looks awful in photos taking in the sunshine, but even generally my part is wider / more noticeable than everyone else’s.
In fact, my hair density is such that when I hold my hair straight up I can definitely see right through my scalp all over, but the hairs themselves don’t seem extremely thin and I have medium thickness overall.
Is it possible to have low hair density but not be losing hair? Googling doesn’t give me much help and just makes me constantly panic about going bald. I don’t have PCOS or take birth control.

>>198871My hair use to be annoying to part, after you get out of the shower change the part and use a hairdryer to set it, or even at night switch the part and plait it in place. I always sleep in plaits after Audrey Kitching said it stops hair breakage and reduces damage. Failing that you could also use hair grips.
I mean your hair doesn't look thin from the photo but I can see what you mean about the part, but I can that some stands are going to the wrong side which could make it look gappy for lack of a better word. Also you mention ponytails, even using hair elastics can damage hair. My friend use to always wear her hair in a low pony with a scunchie and it visibly thinned where the scruchie made contact. Sometimes wearing different hairstyles can be good for your hair even though it can be annoying to learn new styles and rotate them.
Maybe your scalp around the parting just needs a bit of tlc.

No. 200679
>>200600Short hair looking good tends to depend more on jawline and chin imo. There are short cuts you can do where you still have some fringe to soften the fivehead. If you have a fivehead but thicker hair or a solid hairline you can pull off even a short buzz cut, but cuts that short won't be flattering if you can see a fair amount of scalp deep into your hairline. Most importantly, if you have a goofy looking jawline from dental issues or something, any hair shorter than your chin will draw a lot of attention to it.
>>200670Shampooing every day strips the scalp of it's natural oils and it will produce more oil to compensate. Hot showers also dry the skin leading to more oil production. Reduce the frequency of your shampoos, take warm or cold showers, and avoid overuse of "clarifying" shampoos - these shampoos are meant to strip build up product out of your hair and should not be used daily or they will mess up the pH balance of your scalp which can also lead to excess oil production. When you get into the habit of shampooing less your scalp will adjust and stop producing as much oil, but there will be little adjustment period where you'll feel pretty greasy between shampoos. You can use a product called dry shampoo (which is not really a shampoo despite the name) to absorb some of the excess oil while your scalp adjusts to its new cleaning schedule.

I finally got to live out my fantasy of walking around topless with my hair covering my nips. Was not nearly as sexy as I thought it'd be. I have no idea what to do with my hair now.
I have 2c (mayyybe 3a? Just a tiny bit?) thick and frizzy curly hair and it's a fucking beast right now. It's pretty long, like way past my breast currently. It gets matted and tangled in such a short time span. I can't handle it anymore.
I want to cut it short but I cannot find a decent cut I'd like to have and one that fits my natural hair. I considered a bob cut with bangs but I'm afraid it'll turn out so bad.
The pic on the left is one I've been wanting for a while. It looks so cute and hip to me. The middle pic is the bob cut that I started to consider, that one looks pretty cute to me too. The right pic is what I'm afraid my hair will actually look like if I go for middle pic.
My hair is very thick and curly however the curl pattern varies a bit day to day so it's hard to pinpoint which hairstyle to choose from cause it might not end up being a good haircut for myself. Also since i'm getting it cut short the curl pattern will change a tiny bit I believe.

>>200864Try a semi permanent dye. They are deposit only and don't require an activator so they are less damaging and should last a few weeks.
>>200800Definitely looks like your purple toner was left on far too long. Purple toners are used to eliminate yellowness from blondes but if you leave them on too long you get this grey-purple effect that should hopefully mellow out in a week or two and land you closer to ash blonde like you wanted. Can't tell if the pink roots are intentional or something went wrong there. Regardless people are going to be paying more attention to the ceremony than how your gown and hair match and as other anons said nothing clashes with white including pink and purple.

>>198284Mine is down to my lower back/buttcrack. I use conditioner every day, wash my scalp with sulfate-free shampoo and put on a hair mask after every other day. Brush daily to detangle, distribute the oils from the scalp down to the ends and get the loose hairs out (otherwise I'll find them scattered around everywhere), avoid yanking and forcing as much as possible. I sometimes massage my scalp with the brush too. I change my parting pretty often and try to avoid hairstyles that are too tight or heavy and put strain on my scalp because I'm paranoid about traction alopecia. Trim the ends when they start to look wispy, I often look for and cut out split ends individually whenever I have spare time. I also cut out tapered ends, even though it's not really damage but rather just a strand of hair that has never been cut before, I don't think it does much for the overall appearance but when you look close enough to see the individual hairs they just appear a bit thicker with the blunt ends.
I also started taking biotin a while ago, though it hasn't been long enough to notice any significant changes yet.

Any tips on getting rid of ingrown leg hair? Maybe like two years ago I noticed I missed a patch of hair on my legs but upon further inspection they were literally under my skin so that's why it didn't get shaved. Their not red or irritated/bumpy. In picrel it looks like the bottom left. I tried exfoliating (with an exfoliate glove and an exfoliate scrub), gorwing out my leg hair completely (seems to get the hair to grow out from the skin) and then shaving it, I've waxed instead, I've picked them out one by one with tweezers, and recently tried nair. They keep coming back.

I need a really good deep conditioner/masque/treatment for bleached hair. Currently a level 8(naturally a 3) and wanting to get to a 10.
I bleached my hair in 2 stages, most recent being about 2 months ago. My hair is in decent condition. It’s not snapping off just a bit dry. Much more moist than it was a month ago but I need to boost the moisture as I need to bleach it again in about 3 weeks.

but nonnitas, am I a freak for not using shampoo? even the crunchiest women I know use a shampoo bar. will my hair end up damaged if I keep living like a cavewoman?

I just started using this shampoo and conditioner and my hair is super dry and falling out. That being said, I also have the flu right now. Does anyone know if it’s possible that my hair is being affected by my illness or is it most likely just this product? Does anyone else have any experience with this product or brand? Thanks!

>>204663I love vivid hair colors, both on myself and others, but only when they are taken care of well. I have fair, cool-toned skin and level 6 hair that I colored various shades of purple and blue for about a year. I think it looks super trashy when fashion-colored hair looks super damaged and has a ton of growout, but that's true of any color really. The main thing I hate is when people don't keep up on coloring the hair and just let the dye fade out to some desaturated pastel shade of green or orangey pink. Like when someone dyes their hair a beautiful rich blue and just lets it turn light green, it looks so lazy! I like fashion colors in theory, but so many people just see a photo of pretty hair on instagram and think if they get that color it'll look that amazing all the time without much upkeep.

>>203132overmoisturizing, when it comes to CGM, usually means that your hair is deficient in protein. you may want to do a strand test on a protein mask or conditioner sample and see if you are sensitive before using it. moisture/protein is a balancing act, if your hair tolerates or enjoys protein it's sort of like balancing alkaline and acidic, when you are overmoisturized, turning to protein is usually what's needed. if your hair is limp and lifeless, it might be hungry for some. but definitely do a strand test, some hair can't tolerate protein and will become frizzy and straw-like, like a bad bleach job. i like the sheamoisture protein conditioner and deep conditioning masks, sometimes i use homemade rice water too. my hair is very thirsty for it, YMMV, definitely use a cheap small sample and strand test to make sure you don't end up with hay-hair.
No. 205281
>>203132the CGM sucks for some people, even if their hair has nice, dense, natural coils. it's best to use the techniques and types of products as a loose guide and figure out what your hair likes through trial and experimentation.
i have super dense wavy hair which turns into thick curls when looked after properly, but it's temperamental and changes all of the time.
women with very tight, dense natural curl patterns (as in, full blown afro curls) also sometimes find that it can be hit or miss, and following the regimen or routine down to the letter can be an expensive exercise in disappointment and buyer's remorse.
a lot of people with wavy hair enjoy using medium hold gels or mousses while damp and "scrunching" them out once dry for nice, springy hair. very small amount of light, absorbent oil or a light, non-greasy leave-in can help to reduce frizz, but i find they weigh my hair down pretty easily and leave me greasy if they don't soak in right away. serums, oils and leave-ins for highly porous, thirsty afro hair are way too much for bog standard wavy hair.
women with wavy hair seem pretty evenly divided between medium hold gels and mousse, but lots of people love mousse once they find the one that suits their particular hair. gel is definitely far more hit or miss.
certain drug store brands can be nice, but many of them cause significant frizz issues. you can do your own unbiased third party review digging and see what people with your hair type/curl pattern like to use, generally people can find a cheap option that plays well with their hair but it's trial and error.
if you've got a lot of wet webbing (looks like crazy spiderweb frizz while wet, and medusa type frizz when dried) it may benefit from protein if it likes it. it may be hungry for something, or damaged. if you are wet combing or wet brushing, you may be a little rough with it? just troubleshooting suggestions, idk what you do.
a lot of people love tilting their head to the side in the shower, plopping on lots of conditioner and "scrunching" the conditioner-saturated hair into piles of curls, bunching them up from tips to your scalp and gently pressing and releasing. i do this and usually use a wide toothed comb to gently detangle beforehand, while wet and slippery. like, apply a very small amount of conditioner while hair is wet in the shower, use wide toothed comb to gently detangle where my hair naturally parts, saturate with conditioner and squish into piles of curls. doing this with wavy hair requires conditioner that isn't too greasy or thick, so you can saturate it without looking nasty after it rinses.
sometimes trimming flyaways and breakage can help if it's just the way damaged ends fall, with no clumps of waves to cling to and form a cohesive mass with.
wet webbing IME usually indicates my hair is hungry for something, i'm overmoisturizing or have too many flyaways, breakage and damaged ends. i think we have the same curl pattern btw.
you can try medusa clipping your hair while slightly damp under a satin bonnet or large silk scarf before bed too, cheap smaller claw clips pinning your waves into serpentine bundles and pinned near the roots (not too tight or pinching right at the root). if you wake up early and are at home all day, you can also do this out of the shower and let it air dry on your head. some people like robe or sock curls but i haven't tried it, hair is too short.
there are offshoots of the CGM method for wavy hair that can be helpful, but following it as a rule book rather than a loose guide can be frustrating and expensive.
i like a few salon brand leave-ins which help my hair air dry quickly while giving very loose hold and shape, hairdresser recommended them and they're very easy "style and go" products.

I've been experimenting with co-washing (washing hair with conditioner instead of shampoo while shampooing once a week) and I hate it. What's a good shampoo I can use daily that won't fuck my hair up? My scalp produces a lot of oil. I have fine, straight hair.

>>205943I know there's less you can do with it without damage, but
You can at least cut the front parts short and then you get this really cute face framing to accentuate the cheekbones
It can look adorable whilst short
It will probably get healthier as it grows back, but in the meantime, water/conditioner mixed sprayed onto the hair will accentuate curl and reduce frizz.
Also, straightening it causes damage, which I recently learned the hard way. So it's easier to make the curls look deliberate instead of frizzy. If you have (euro texture) curly hair, then you can sleep in two braids, and have more even curls, if you have ruined your curl pattern. And if you french braid it you can hide the curl pattern if you hate it so much. But idk why you hate it and what type of aesthetic you have to make you want to avoid curls so much.

>>205961Here are my tips/methods nonna! I hope they work for you even if your hair is a bit curlier than mine (my hair is quite long too, so the extra weight might help me somewhat? It's always worth a try). The results vary, sometimes I'm left with almost straight hair and sometimes it just gives me waves, but they still look far more relaxed than my natural curls! I'm going to try my best to explain but it might end up sounding very autistic.
The first method is to do a simple braid down the back with wet hair. Sometimes I braid the hair after putting it in a tight ponytail, to keep the hair around my head especially straight. Tie the end of the braid like normal (where there's a little 'tail' of hair left at the bottom); as soon as the tail part is dry, untie the braid and retie it on the next section up. Wait for that part to dry and then repeat by retying above the next section, and keep going until the whole length of your hair is dry.
It can be quite time consuming, so I sometimes speed it up by tucking it in my shirt if I'm at my desk (I guess my body heat makes it dry faster?) or if the heating is on during winter I sit with my back to the radiator (I don't think its hot enough to cause heat damage, but I might be wrong lol).
This might not work for you if the little tail at the end of your braid dries just as curly as it usually does, but for me it manages to dry far straighter. Maybe it's because all of the hair is bunched together so it can't curl like it naturally does?
It's a really simple solution and I've never seen it written anywhere before (maybe im just retarded) but its my holy grail. It takes a while to dry completely, but the only thing you really have to do is braid it and move the hair tie up when that part dries.
The other way I get my hair straight(er) is by using jumbo hair rollers (mine are 60mm) and letting them air dry. I don't recommend it as much, because it takes far longer and sometimes they refuse to dry at all. If you're not against using hair dryer heat on your hair (or if you have a hair dryer with a heatless setting), that would definitely speed up the process! I've tried gradually unrolling each roller and letting the exposed bit of hair dry bit by bit, but it was somewhat painful to have 12 hair rollers hanging from my head and definitely not practical in any way. I've also managed to sleep in them before, which again, I don't recommend.
I kind of only use it as my nuclear option; like if I'm going to an important event like an interview or party the next day and I want my hair looking as straight as possible. The results are always absolutely amazing!!! They give me better results than straighteners. But personally, I'm too lazy to do it all the time.
Some bonus tips:
- I always sleep with my hair in a silk cap, loosely braided or twisted up. I feel like it helps to maintain the un-curliness(???) and it can help to distribute the oils in my hair from scalp to ends, which makes them look less frizzy
- I always avoid brushing or combing like the plague. If my hair is curly it'll turn into a frizzy lions mane, and if I've managed to get my hair looking straight/wavy, it'll go all curly again. If I have to detangle, I use a shark tooth comb (picrel, the ONLY comb type i've ever found to work) or just my fingers.
- I don't have much success with oils and cremes, but I know lots of other people who do. If my hair is wavy and I want to keep it from getting all frizzy, I sometimes use one of the john frieda frizz ease cremes/serums/whatever they call them now (any from that line are good imo) and it works at least temporarily!
- If you're feeling lazy, you don't have to do anything to your hair. A lot of the time I just let mine dry in a tight ponytail to keep the hair around my face relatively straight, and I don't worry about the lengths getting curly. Then I just wrap it up and clip it with one of those big hair claws. I get some nice curls poking out, usually looking much neater than they have the right to be, and I think its a pretty good look! It sounds like it'll fit your style better than free curls, and its very low-effort.
Even if my methods don't work to the same extent for you, I hope they can at least take your curly levels down a notch, or that other nonnas find them useful!

But literally, you need two ingredients.
Dampen your hair, and make a mixture of slightly heated honey and olive oil. Mix, apply, and leave on your damp/wet hair, cover, and leave for about four hours whilst you do stuff, and rinse out.
I can attest that this slightly lightens naturally blonde hair whilst leaving a soft feeling, so I used to use this during winter when I got less sunlight. But you need to repeat it to see results.
>>206187It may be that you need more moisture then. Again, we both have similar hair, and I know that 50/50 conditioner water sprayed on the hair makes mine a lot sleeker, so it may work for you too. Also, cold water is best for washing the hair.

Kikomi-chan would be jealous of me. I didn’t think it was possible, but I’m a 22 y/o female with a receding hairline. I’m already ugly in the face, so this is like a hilarious final kick in the face from the universe. Both my grandfathers suffered hairloss, and I foolishly thought that the “baldness skips a generation” rule only applied to males. Well, now me and my younger brother both have this issue.
When I look online, everyone says that this type of frontal hair loss only happens in women who wear their hair pulled up/back. I guess I’m an anomaly because I could probably count on my hands the number of times I’ve worn a ponytail.
Im thinking of shaving it all off and just saying fuck it but I also suffer from bad acne that even affects my scalp, so it would look gross. It’s not for lack of washing either, I’ve been to like 4 dermatologists and all of them have prescribed be different things over the years, none of which have worked (but I guess that’s a story for the skincare thread).

I'm following this photo guide as a complete beginner to the curly girl method. The step I'm confused about is the 'final reset wash'. It says to wash your hair with a sulfate-FILLED shampoo to reset your hair, but then in some other articles I learned about sulfate-free clarifying shampoo, which, if I understand correctly is also referred to as "reset" shampoo. I have a run of the mill sulfate-filled shampoo and a sulfate-free clarifying shampoo: which should I use for my reset wash?

>>206794Of course it won't affect the ends of your hair if it's brittle. Getting your nutrition in check will make the hair that grows out from your scalp that point forward healthier. Hair shows your historical nutrition; you can't expect the supplements to travel down your hair shaft and repair itself as if it were alive.
I'd recommend eating enough protein, i drink ready made shakes made from milk protein and of course keeping your iron levels great. It takes a very long time to see the true results of this hence why it's so important to not become malnourished or unhealthy.

>>207717No, that was my experience too…that moussed stiff shiny curls thing was not… the look I was going for. And the mousse in my hair made it feel…horrible.
The
valid part of CG imo is that with curly hair you should use mostly conditioner to clean your hair and only shampoo only occasionally. Conditioner alone actually removes the built up oils & such pretty well, but not completely. I found what works pretty well was using a big handful squirt of conditioner, and then adding like a couple drops to a teaspoon of shampoo to the conditioner in my hand.
You'll need to get uses to the slightly more oiles feeling of your hair right after you shower, compared to the very "clean" degreased feeling of shampooed hair, but if you strip oils like that with shampoo i feel like your scalp jist produces more to compensate. Keeping it slightly oiled with fresh clean conditioner is where you want to be, kind of like how leather is kept in condition by being oiled. Curly hair, like leather, can absorb a lot of oil without looking greasy & also needs that oil to stay supple. Straight hair does not handle oil well at all and will easily look "greasy" and get a sheen, but curly hair can handle being more conditioned.
Now the gel/mousse thing… that doesn't work. This is controversial, but I think the gel/mousse stuff got added to curlygirl because of people who quite frankly… don't actually have curly hair, but rather only slightly wavy. It's basically using gel to hard-set curls…why tf would you do that if your hair is already curly. Every picture I've seen of the scrunch thing is someone who is desperately trying to gel-set curls into their wavy hair. Co-washing actually made my hair feel great & look a lot less frizzy, it was definitely a big change - the couple times I tried the gel thing were a disaster. I did it looked in the mirror and started dying laughing. I walked in to my partner's room like "Hey did it work lmao" and they died too. It was like just fuck me up tier bad. But do the cowashing.

>>207843This is probably the best explanation of CG methods I've ever read!! I have relatively straight hair close to the scalp but the length of my hair curls into ringlets, so I struggle to keep a balance. Conditioning my whole head usually results in oily roots but lovely curls.
Personally the best fix I've found for myself is using baby shampoo. It feels gentle enough to not completely strip my hair of the oils it needs, but cleansing enough to actually clean it. I recommend it for anyone in a similar situation.

>>208793These things suck. You’re better off making a bouffant with the hair from your hair brush and a hair net. Tie it off and pin it to the back of your hair like a bump-it. Takes time to collect the hair but you can use old extension hair too. Just tease it and make it puffy. Use a lot.
Picrel uses a hair bun.

nonnie. I think you could get away with straightening them but you have to be careful and use heat protectant. Depending on how often you wash, you could probably straighten them once every 2 or 3 days maybe? Just be careful, I fried my hair in high school by straightening all of my hair every single day for 7 months after bleaching it.
But Since bangs are short and get trimmed often I think any damage could just be cut right off with regular trimmings anyways.

>>209125Honestly I kinda gave up straining it as well lol I just put it on my hair and make sure to wash off all seeds, so far so good. I guess I'd recommend doing it on a sink or with a garden hose maybe, if you have the space. I don't think they'd clog the shower drain, but I don't know.
Anyway, regarding the smell, I believe a wheaty smell is too be expected
i kinda like it, it smells like that when you're cooking with it as well.
As for the color, I guess it depends on the type of flaxseed you are using? I use the golden one and the color is a super pale off white color. If your flaxseed is brown, the color will probably reflect that.

Rainy ass wet ass season is upon us.
I've been meaning to ask about what I can do to get my hair to hold better. I have fine mostly straight hair and I've been scrunching my hair while damp and clipping until it dries that way, then letting it go and slowly "flatten" until it arrives at a poofy, loosely wavy… thing. It looks amazing and holds until I sleep on it but as soon as it gets humid it goes back to being straight so I'm wondering about products I can put in to keep it from doing that. I've tried Not Your Mother's texturizer gel thing but it doesn't appear to do anything to my hair except make it look greasy. I've tried switching up the amount used, dry vs damp etc. It's always the same, either greasy or no change.
Mousse or a more aggressive gel might be what I need? But I rely on the hair loosening up to counteract the rather extreme scrunch twist that I put my hair in to get it to be as textured as I want… When would I even add the mousse? Aerosol might be the right thing so as not to disturb the shape it takes on?
pic unrelated.

>>209585Yeah it gives me a headache, I think if you've got heavy hair it's just a thing that happens.
The best way I've found to alleviate the pulling is a bit weird sounding but it's comfy as - I do an upside down braid, like flip my head over and start braiding from the nape of my neck. If I braid it all the way to the end I don't even need a hairband, it just flops over and I can't feel it at all. Obviously that looks retarded and I can't wear it in public but it might be something you can experiment with.

I had acne my whole life until I did this and it went away for the first time ever.
The cheap ass Suave Coconut conditioner doesn't have silicones, or you can find lists of silicone-free products on the curlygirl reddit. And after this, I used some Tresemme which has silcones literally one time and got two pimples the next day.
I usually do wash with just conditioner, using shampoo only once a week, but thats hard to convince people to do because it does feel like youre not getting all the way clean. But you should try it. And 100% avoid silicones.

>>210432if you're anal enough to do a "pre shampoo mask" i'm gonna go out on a short limb and assume you also use numerous other skincare products that claim to "treat" acne. All I can say is, don't, and stop.
A lot of people get on board the skincare/hairproducts train as teens because of natural teenage acne. And once you're on that train, if you ever stop using the acne-suppressing products, the acne comes back. But only at first! This is natural - when you're constantly de-oiling your skin, your body produces more oils to compensate. Then if you stop de-oiling, you of course get really oily - for a little while, a month or two. But in a pretty short time, your skin realizes it doesn't need to make so much oil, and slows down to a normal adult level.
I have the best skin & hair I've ever had since I stopped using anything but basic suave conditioner, and gentle soap only if I literally get dirty.
If you have never in your adult life held off from using products for at least two months, you actually don't even know what your natural adult skin & hair look like. There is an adjustment period but you have to resist the urge to treat issues with products.
Also if you eat more than 1-2 ounces per day of meat or cheese/butter you will get pimples and greasy skin because of it.

>>210438>you actually don't even know what your natural adult skin & hair look likeOr you're an adult who has an oily scalp and skin and its never changed even into your 30s and its genetics. Adults can have acne on par with teens and many do struggle with it, which is why Cerave shit can be such a godsend. Sorry, but this shit is like r/skincareaddiction tier advice and years ago when I paid mind to it, my skin became so oily that I looked as if I had aged 5-10 years. I'll never understand where the consensus that oily skin makes someone look younger came from either. I legitimately looked worse.
I feel like this method only works for certain skin and hair types, same with that no poo or being able to get away with doing a diluted acv rinse (which I did do and saw hair loss, so never again).
>>210439No bullshit and I might get clowned, but I used the vo5 strawberry to shave and I've noticed that my legs are way softer and moisturized.

>>211024As someone with ridiculously thick and curly hair, the only brush I’ll ever swear by for both fast, gentle detangling while wet and curl definition + styling is a Denman Styler 7 row. So stupidly specific but it took me my whole life to find a brush that can work through my hair properly without ripping out clumps or just skimming the top layer…and if you use it with product or in the shower, the whole thing can be taken apart and washed out and sanitized. No more mystery water leaking from your paddle brush into you hair.

I personally use the original tangle teezer from ulta and it's the only brush that works for me. The hot pink one. Not the bullshit "thick hair" or "curly hair" ones they came out with. Those didn't work and are clearly gimmicks.
Styling depends A LOT more on your rinse out conditioner and leave in (and slightly your methods) than your brush which is akin to gambling at a casino. It fucking sucks, especially when your go to product gets discontinued which eventually, it will. Also look at the ingredients list. Anything that says "curly hair" on it, is most likely NOT curly hair friendly. All the curly haired products are more lowkey. You'll figure out we don't really have a lot to choose from. I recommend double checking products on the curlyhair subreddit. Avoid polyquats and silicones in your conditioner.

I've got 3a/2c curls naturally and I've been straightening it for awhile because I just do not know how to style it, and to be honest, I really hate the basic curly "styles", if you could even call them that. All of the people on Youtube with similar hair types as me just have their curls straight down with no styling or volume despite having curls, and it looks so boring to me. But seeing so many people pull off the Farrah hairstyle made me really want to try it, but every tutorial I've seen is someone with straight hair using curling irons to achieve the look.

my favorite way of curling my hair is doing those robe curls that went viral on tik tok last year. i've also been meaning to try vid related but i'm too lazy and still in self isolation so it'll have to wait.

Is olaplex worth using if you have dry/frizzy hair?
I tried almost every oil, hair mask, shampoo and conditioner but nothing really works. Argan oil was the closest but I'm wondering if Olaplex might be better.
I get my hair professionally dyed and it's not really damaged but even at the salon the comb gets stuck in my hair and it can be hard to detangle. I just hate the whole thing
No. 213078
>>213070You said you switched to a sulfate free shampoo; is it one of those creamy ones that doesn’t really lather? Are you double cleansing? With the really gentle sulfate free shampoos you should be washing twice, and only using a dime sized amount scrubbed into the wettest hair possible. You’ll know it’s working correctly if the shampoo seems to lather up better the second time.
It just sounds like you have product build up on your scalp that you’re never quite managing to wash off.

2a here, and i want to fucking kill myself. I used to be 3b when i was younger but 5 keratin treatments after my curl is almost non existent. Frizzy, dry, tangles a lot, every time i wash my hair curls stay defined but one day after they disappear, it has been two years since my last treatment so it makes no sense my hair is still this lifeless, if my hair is "curly" why tf my curls disappear so fast?? i tried using gel, styling creams but nothing works. Sometimes i just want to say "fuck it" and straight it, it looks so neat, shiny and long that way, i'm sick of battling my own hair and if my hair barely has curls, its frizzy and messy all the time might as well just do what i want, its going to look like shit anyway. I'm also a poorfag so i don't have money to afford all these fancy products.

>>213070Your experience sounds a lot like mine. I used to shampoo daily because of school and being a hormonal greasy teenager then went nopoo as an adult because I thought I was naturally that oily, then my hygiene got fucked up for the same reasons as you. My head started growing little crusty patches that felt like scabs and I'd scratch them off and also had a lot of hair loss which was so much that it took me to see a dermatologist who said it was fungal dandruff caused by malesezzia and that I should be washing it daily and changing my pillow cases often to keep it from growing (I don't think it ever goes away completely either). While I've never done the egg mask thing it just seems like a bad idea to leave food in your hair if you've got malesezzia, and I have to manage it by using T-Gel or Alpecin now instead of buying any other fancy shampoo brands. At this point maybe you should check your scalp with a professional since it sounds like it's become a skin problem now, not just your hair.
If there's any young anons in here who have hair loss I'd suggest double checking, on top of all the other reasons, that it's not dandruff-causing fungus wrecking your scalps.

I’m so fucking mad, anons. THIS is why I only go to a salon once every 2 years. I go to someone different every time too, hoping for a good result for once. I’ve never gotten a pretty cut/color. So, this is what I got for my birthday present this year. Absolutely shit layers when I asked for a TRIM. The ones in front are shorter than chin length so it looks like I’ve been trying to grow out bangs or something. This is the absolute last time. I’m never going to a “professional” ever again. I basically pay to get my hair fucked up because I’m too scared to ask for a refund or say I think it looks bad. My hair is thicker than what it looks like, and I guess no “stylist” knows how to cut it. Fuck me, it’s going to take so long to grow this back out so it looks okay.

This has probably been talked already since it became a meme basically, but I did the Apple Cider Vinegar hair rinse for the first time yesterday and the difference today is already pretty staggering, especially considering it was my first time doing it!
The hair ends are still on the dryer/frizzier side, but still a bit more tame than they usually are and also softer. The roots, however, are super silky and shiny. It also feel a bit less oily, but I'm not 100% sure. For reference, I have dark, wavy hair (2BC)
I will try to do it once a week or so and see how it goes from there, but so far so good. The results reminds me of when I travel and the water of that place has a lower ph so my hair gets almost instantly better after showering.
What I did:
>Bought pH strips to test the water and the ACV pH levels, as well as the final concoction
>Made the rinse from 2/3 filtered water and 1/3 ACV, final ph of about 4. The water around here have a ph of 7-8
>Cleaned hair normally, did the rinse afterwards and didn't remove it from hair, let it air dry
>Used a silk hair cap for sleeping
It did stink up the whole house though, maybe I'll buy some essential oils to mask the smell when I do it again, as this vidrel suggests.

What are some hairstyle 'rules' that you found to be completely untrue?
I think the 'full bangs always suit long faces' thing is bs, sometimes it can emphasize the lower half of your face too much and could make it look even longer. I also read somewhere else that if you have a long face, you should avoid creating volume on the top of your head because it will make it look longer, but I found that it actually makes the face look smaller in comparison

>>223726I have used dryer brushes for 10 years now and have healthy hair to my lower back; letting it air dry mostly and then sectioning it off and drying each large piece individually is the best way imo. A bonus tip is to get a small wireless fan and aim it at yourself when you dry; the water vapor gets away from your hair and face plus it cools and sets your hair as it passes the brush.
in terms of brush models themselves, most are very, very similar. The differences lie in the longevity; bristles breaking, uneven/too hot temperature, etc. The only reason I splurged on a drybar one is because I use it every day (continuous spray water bottle + a few passes with the brush = nice blowout even on 3rd day bed head).
so if you prefer to do your hair in the morning, Id recommend getting a continuous spray bottle and dampening it in the morning then using the brush. alternatively, If I dry my hair the night before I like to get a pic related bun maker, and roll my ends up until its at the bottom of my neck; makes some big waves but is still smoothed.

>>225220I'd probably go for a red (washes out fast, won't cause muddiness with the blonde too terribly if there's still a faint hint of it) or a light blue (also washes out fast, and might help with brassiness if it isn't all out). As long as you pick light colors and you have a couple months in between, the second bleaching should take out anything left behind though. That's what always happened with my hair, though mine does lift very easily.
If you're only waiting a week or two between bleaching, or your in-between stage is too dark for light colored dyes, I wouldn't bother with it.

Thinking about just going for a long pixie cut, my hair is so damn fine and thin and limp and I have never been motivated enough to use products or techniques to make it look better…but I'm nervous of a big chop since I haven't had that short of hair in 10 years and I'm afraid it won't look cute anymore now that my face has aged. Looking less greasy and having an actual style is probably more attractive overall though.

>>226913It's probably more noticeable in summer because you spend more time in the sun. If that's not the case for you, then it may be that the color of your summer wardrobe is different than your winter wardrobe. The way we perceive color is relative to the color surrounding it. Get a tan or switch up the colors that you wear and it should bring out those natural red tones more without having to chemically process your hair.
>>226917Henna is plant based and safe, but I don't really recommend it for most people because it will always be darker than what you started with, it creates a build-up on your hair that is impossible to remove, and you can't perform any other chemical processes on hair that's been treated with henna (and expect decent results, at best it'll turn out shit fried and at worst you'll give yourself a chemical haircut). I would only recommend it to people if they know that it will give them the result they want, and never plan to do anything else chemically to their hair or are ok with a big chop if they ever want to.
No. 226934
>>226913you cant just "bring out" more red hue than you have… you hair may be lightening in the summer and getting a more visible reddish sheen due to that. but if you really want more red youll need to
add more red. and you dont need to be afraid of chemical processes, as they can be done without damaging hair and be reversible unlike henna. And by that I mean color depositing using low volume developer, possibly diluting the mix. To dilute hair dye, you may mix your dye and developer with conditioner to give you more product, or you can use half dye, half developer, and add conditioner to make up the remaining volume. In both cases, your color will not be as intense as it would have achieved without having added the conditioner. As such, you'd be able to deposit a bit of red into your hair. I will help you find products if interested in trying this method out.

I've always had a huge forehead and really unfortunate hairline, but over time my thyroid issues have made it even worse. I'm becoming more and more insecure about this, but getting plastic surgery to fix it seems a bit too extreme for me still. I've also considered "hair tattoos" but when I looked into it I was advised it's better with darker hair because the ink is black and I worry that I'll look even more ridiculous if I get it done since my natural color is dark or dirty blonde..
So, please, anons, any advice on what the hell I can do? I used to get side bangs but I have been in a constant state of fear that when they shift the recession will be plain to see. Maybe just shorter side bangs that kind of keep their place? My face shape is somewhere between heart and oblong and straight across/blunt cut bangs, despite my love for them in theory, look absolutely awful on me…

Hey, girls. I'm looking for a good hot magenta hair color which could manage to cover dark blonde/light brown hair without bleach and is a more delicate dye.
My mom recently had her leg amputated and since she is confined to the house she wants to try "fun hair colors" she never has before. However her hair is falling out, likely from the anesthesia, so I am afraid to bleach her hair. I told her I'm worried in general about working on it in such a delicate situation but she insists it's ok so at the very least I'm trying to avoid bleach. So besides any hair color suggestions, any advice from similar situations is welcome too.
No. 227742
>>227541Sorry
nonnie, I had this exact color for a while and it required a full bleaching, even with my own dark blonde/light brown hair. My stylist gave me the rest of the bottle of the professional pink dye she put in to keep it looking fresh and while it was some of the most powerful deposit only dye I've used, on my natural color it was still super dark and nowhere near the bright magenta pink it made the bleached hair. If you do get her hair lightened and need dye suggestions, I love arctic fox's pinks and purples. Manic panic is really good too, and they sell dyes that didn't come out exactly how they were supposed to for half off, which means you can get still really good dye for really cheap.

Just had an accidental hair win: my hair is thin, fine, barely wavy, and generally the type of hair for which cowashing is not advised, but Moptop's light conditioner works really well as a cowash for me. It's absolutely terrible as an actual conditioner since it just exacerbates my crunchy frizzy texture, but using it to wash my scalp left me with soft, shiny hair with good wave definition despite only using aloe vera and argan oil as styling products. Would recommend anyone with a similar hair texture to try cowashing with a light conditioner if shampoos are leaving your hair looking fried.

I still honestly can't tell the difference between new hair growth and breakage? Am I just stupid or…? I find it really difficult to research hair things as I'm constantly finding contradicting stuff.
I have really fine but lots of hair that gets greasy easily. It looks shiny and doesn't feel like a nest but at the same time I've got all these weird little stray hairs or flyaways(?) that I can't tell if they're just new hairs growing in or hairs that have been snapped off.
I only blow dry my roots too and rarely use heat on it.
The white streak is old bleached hair from a few years ago that I'm growing out. The brown is my real hair colour so I haven't died or bleached anything else since.

>>229331>>229346I get what you mean, and that's why I don't trim my ends often at all. Generally I'll get a proper trim ever 6 to 12 months, or whenever I feel like my split ends are becoming too much. In the meantime, I'll occasionally cut off individual split ends when I come across them. I use scissors meant for hair and just sit down and look for split ends while watching tv or something.
This seems to work out okay for letting your hair grow out while avoiding too much breakage, although idk if others think it looks like shit and I'm just fooling myself.

I dry my hair to the point where Its still wet but not dripping everywhere and then I apply coconut oil to the ends of my hair sparingly because it can get stupidly dry. Then I let that all just air dry. I wash my hair every couple of days because it gets disgustingly oily after that point.

>l'oreal elvive fibrology thickening shampoo and conditioner>bumble & bumble thickening spray>bumble & bumble texturizing spray>batiste dry shampoo and the volumizing version>schwartzkopt volume powderThe dry shampoo especially sounds like it would help you since you said it gets oily. Otherwise ymmv with that stuff, mostly it makes the hair a rougher texture so it doesn't lie as flat. I really think blowdrying is the most important thing though, for both setting it and preventing frizz (air drying makes my hair frizzy af). I'm not dextrous enough to do a fancy blowout with a round brush but I always blowdry my hair in layers with my head upside down or to the side so it lifts the roots.

anons, this is my hair the DAY OF washing it, dried, and it is SO fucking greasy. What do I do? Idk how the fuck to style it. It's 2b/2c hair naturally. I use It's a 10 shampoo and their hair mask as conditioner. I only wash 2x a week, every 3-4 days (and that's because I used to only do 1x a week for over 10 years and my hair was still super greasy). I only use shampoo on my roots, only use conditioner on the ends. I don't use any styling stuff because it weighs down my hair. My hair is supposedly thick according to all my hairdressers, it takes around 4 hours to color it with partial highlights, but I don't feel like it looks thick; limp and lifeless is more like it.
No. 229880
>>229877I have the thick oily hair too, I think in your case too you might just have genetically oily hair if it's always been that way no matter what you do? That's how it's always been for me and unfortunately nothing has changed it even those long breaks and only washing it once a week or whatever - it really made no difference to me either. It may just be your natural oil production.
Some things that makes it more manageable is: blow drying only my roots, using sulfate + silicon free shampoo like Faith in Nature and actually shampooing twice…and honestly, baby powder. Like Johnsons baby powder. Is far cheaper and lasts longer than any dry shampoo and it soaks up the grease very well.
I'm sorry I don't have any advice for styling as my hair type is like a 1a(?) pretty much pin straight and I just have to have mine never touching my face or else it makes the grease worse.
If you have an itchy scalp or anything it may be worth seeing a dermatologist or doctor about it though.

>>229877You might be using the wrong products for your hairtype. I have fine hair, but a ton of it so it looks very thick. I always confused this with having thick hair and also struggled with my hair looking greasy on wash and style days.
Basically I got some advice from my hairdresser a few weeks ago and dropped money $$$ on Kerastase products (shampoo, conditioner, and styling cream) and the difference is night and day. Honestly never thought my hair could look so voluminous and shiny and healthy and not feel oily or weighed down.
Or you may just be one of those people that need to wash their hair more often. I know people are really anal about the whole wash as little as possible thing, but there is nothing wrong with washing more often if you need to. I wash every 2-3 days.

My hair is ginger, wavy and currently around waist-length and I've let it grow out from around picrel length for the past 5 years or so largely due to laziness and the subsequent pandemic making haircuts difficult. I'm looking to go back to this sort of length and cut so I can start setting my hair in a true 1940s style again but my sperg brain has some reservations.
For most of my life I've had super long hair to the point where every hairdresser I go to will point blank REFUSE to cut it to my desired length (most recently on my 21st birthday, which was annoying) so I've resolved to just braid the excess length, cut it to the length I want and get it shaped professionally.

On a related note, I haven't had a haircut since before covid and I know a trim is very overdue, but I'm scared about the aforementioned nightmare cut (my hair is almost down to my butt now, I'm really happy with the length and want as little as possible taken off), and the fact that I've never actually been to the salon on my own (used to always go with my older sister).

So I'm growing my hair put from shaving it back like October… I have about 4 inches of hair growth but I really hate how this growing process is going. My hair is curly so I wake up with it in a mess everyday. I'm pretty much using headbands and scarves all the time when it doesn't behave. Also my bangs are really short in the front, kind like pic rel but thicker, I can't really push them to the side so I unironically have terf bangs rn.

>>245863This goes for you and everyone else complaining of hairfall ITT: try supplementing zinc and/or vitamin D, and consider minoxidil. Obviously hairfall is a complicated phenomenon and it isn't always clear what causes it However, zinc deficiency is extremely common and one of the symptoms is excessive hairfall. Vitamin D deficiency is another common culprit, as are excessively tight hairstyles like the other anon mentioned. If you suspect you're losing your hair for any reason, start using minoxidil aka Rogaine ASAP and try to get tested for nutrient deficiencies. If it turns out your hair loss has a reversible medical cause, great! If you're stuck with female pattern hair loss, the minoxidil will make things much less miserable. Stress, undereating, poor sleep, and bad haircare habits can all cause increased hair fall as well, so make sure to address those if you haven't already. Good luck!

>>246554Rosemary oil was proven to be as effective as 2% minoxidil in ome study, IIRC. The thing about these hair and skincare studies is that to get the same results, you really do have to copy the method of application and concentration of whatever substance they used in the study.
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/274571514_Rosemary_oil_vs_minoxidil_2_for_the_treatment_of_androgenetic_alopecia_a_randomized_comparative_trialThis link only contains excerpts, unfortunately. You can try emailing the authors or scrounging around for the full study, but all I could find about the specific rosemary application was that it was in the form of a 'rosemary oil lotion' of unknown concentration. If you have to buy one or the other, I'd go with 5% (not 2% like in the study) minoxidil since it has much more clinical evidence as to its effectiveness.

I have really straight 1A or 1B hair, and I live in a rainy coastal place, so typically any curling I do is back to flat within minutes of going outside. Currently, my hair is all one length, and it's driving me nuts with how lifeless and sad it looks. I'm thinking about getting a shag style like picrel (I'm worried that something too textured would just be a waste of time) and upping my product game to keep my styling in place.

Guys should I cut my hair to be like…above shoulder length? Like a pixie/mullet?
I was taking the piss out of a friend for having short hair and realised that it actually suits me a lot, like it really softens my face, and the curls look good! But if I have short hair, I think I may look homosexual, because I like dressing down/tomboy type clothes, which is already cutting it close, and if I have short hair, I will look incredibly homosexual. And I am that thing. I just don't want people to assume I am that, because reasons.
Did any women who went short regret it? I feel attachment to hair because everything changes and people leave but my hair is still there, like a big, frizzy blonde scarf that tells me everything will be ok. I think if I cut it off I will feel like a different person and lose a source of comfort. No more connection to the past. Am I overthinking this?

Does frizzy hair necessarily mean you have wavy/curly hair? I don’t live in a humid area, as a child my hair was curly, and throughout my life my hair was been frizzy- does this suggest that my hair is wavy, or could there be other factors that I don’t know about?

I'm in the middle of changing shampoo and conditioner brands but when I'm at the store trying to choose I get extremely overwhelmed by the vast amount of choices available.

As for shampoo, I've been using the sulfate free aloe + mango (avocado oil is good too there's not much of a difference imo) from herbal essences because it's the cheapest option for me (the bottle is small but a little product goes an extraordinarily long way with this one) I have curlier hair than you do but otherwise it's similar so that might work for you as well
>>250509I used to have the oily roots/dry tips combo back when I had bleached/heat processed hair, and my mom always told me to use a brush with bristles because they would spread the oil from the scalp down the dry hair shaft. Some people on the internet seem to recommend this too… Personally though, i'm still not sure about whether it actually works.
I'd say use the Faith in Nature shampoo that was recommended above by another anon, and then use a leave-in or daily moisturizer regularly for the driest parts of your hair.

Something drugstore that I tried and I'm actually quite happy is the Garnier hairfood mask with papaya, I also use it as a conditioner and I genuinely liked it and reach for it whenever I'm running low on my normal products. Another drugstore product that my hairdresser recommend were the Palmer's coconut shampoo and conditioner. The conditioner is a bit too hydrating so I'd avoid leaving it on the roots though.

Plus most also use way too much shampoo furthering the issue, like you're only supposed to use a thumbnail amount, but people fill their hands with shampoo and wonder why they get greasy hair again a day later. Your poor scalp is crying for moisture. At least try to reduce the ammount of shampoo you use, use as minimal as possible, it doesn't need large lather with loads of suds in your hair to get it clean, I promise you your hair will be much less greasy.
Me and my bf have very different hair, I have coarse hair and he has fine hair, works for both of us. And it isn't smelly or oily at all now, but it took over a year to balance my scalp again. Like you have to grit your teeth and bear an oily period where your hair looks like shit before it gets much better again, your scalp is still compensating from being stripped of oils, it takes a while to catch up.
Plus it got rid of dandruff and it looks thicker and nicer, not dry and flat then greas after a day anymore.
No. 255333
>>255326Its not bro science, its just science. If you strip your skin, its going to produce more oils to compensate, as your skin is trying to maintain its barrier, then its a negative spiral where you wash more and your skin produces even more oil. And dry shampoo is gross, its builds up on your scalp and hair and you can't remove it with just water. If you used a lot of dry shampoo and only washed with cold water, its no wonder your hair looked gross. You just ended up with 7 months of oily dry shampoo buildup in your hair. Same as if you were to use lots of styling products, then you need shampoo to get it out.
>>2553303 months isn't really enough time to change from 20+ years of using (probably way too much) shampoo. You also need to wash your hairbrush and pillowcase, which you should do regardless. I wonder how many people who struggle with hair getting oily too quickly, when its just them using an oily hairbrush and sleeping on an oily pillowcase.
Even if no poo isn't for you, less shampoo should be. You do not need suds and loads of foam to get clean, that just strips your hair. Try using a thumbnail ammount, and really rinsing well for several minutes afterwards to get it all out of your scalp. It horrifies me to see how much shampoo most people use. And my ma is a hairdresser so I'm not pulling it out of my ass, you really need a very minimal ammount.
The science is that no other animal use shampoo and their coats are shiny and healthy, not oily, dirty or gross, and most of them don't even get wet at all. Having to industrially strip our bodies of natural oil then add it back is a very modern thing in the human existence. Yeah we've used soaps for along time now, but ones that strip your skin completely are very modern.

>hard waterThe water's very soft where I am
I can kinda get behind the idea that harsh soap is a capitalisic 20th/21st century habit that does more harm than good but if my hair still hasn't adjusted after 3 months of washing it with no shampoo then I'm not convinced it ever will or if it's worth it at that point. I feel like it's so easy to say yeah you've just got to stick with it longer but that's months upon months running around with gross hair that needs to be hidden in braids or buns at all times with no end in sight.

In the shower I'll use both scalding hot and icy cold water because I have hot water and you need hot water to loosen the oil. But you have to spend time preening your hair in the shower and running your fingers through it so it can get really clean.

This year I finally learned how to take care of my curls. I don't really understand a few things though. One question is that I've seen some girls gel their hair after it's fully dried, and others will do it while it's soaking wet. I do the latter, but what is the difference between the two?

To your question, just from my experience, shampoo doesn’t matter a lot, conditioner is way more important. I’ve used everything from the cheapest drug store brands to fairly pricy salon/Sephora products and I can’t say I’ve seen much difference. If your hair is damaged from coloring, your best bet is probably to cut off as much as you can and start fresh. Anything that says it can restore split ends is lying.

I cut and dyed my long bleached hair into a short naturally brown pixie cut last week, because it was super unhealthy and I was getting sick of maintaining it. I wanted a low effort hairstyle. I think its more flattering this way and it feels so healthy and light, but I definitely feel less attractive compared to when I had long hair. I hate this natural colour, but I don't want to damage it by bleaching again or have to maintain roots. Idk what to do with it now. I might just grow it again. I hate feeling ugly, even though the whole reason I did this was to prioritise comfort over aesthetics. Picrel is who I wish I was.

I currently have my hair cut and color like picrel, except my bangs are longer and the bleached section extends off to a small section on the side as well. I've had it this way since August and I really like it for me and it matches my style. However, I've noticed red becoming trendy on social media and beauty magazines, and even a lot of girls who I see around campus are now going red with a single bleached streak in the front. For some reason I can't stand having a "trendy" hair color, even though I had it before it got super popular this spring. Lately I've had the urge to just bleach it all and maybe add pink tips. Do I need to get over myself and just own it, or is it actually time for a change?

>>258233Do you want it permanent or is semi okay?
I dye my hair black all the time but it's light brown naturally and it's semi permanent so it fades a bit. But it's a great tone and would be a lot less noticable since your growth would match.
I use semi-permanent professional dye. Schwarzkopf igora royal semi permanent in 1 (black) mixed with 3.0 (dark brown) plus pic related activation lotion. so 2 bottles of dye, making a 1:1 ratio of developer and dye.
It's a shit ton of developer if you don't dye you hair many times though. But I love the outcome and how my hair feels after since it's low volume (box dyes are way too high volume and ended up actually lightening my hair after the dye faded) and lots of conditioning agents. just remember it's always hella dark at first.

You could also do a fade or something while it grows out. The awkward stage will last about a year maybe more depending on your hair type. Styling it around that stage will help. Pixie cuts, fades, etc. doesn’t have to be long term but just something while it grows.

Is it worth dyeing my hair? I have brown hair that can look very light or nearly black depending on the lighting. It's kind of ashy. I've never dyed it in my life. Recently I've been fantasising about going blonde or getting highlights, anything to make it more interesting. But if the upkeep is too much, I don't know if it's worth it. I don't want roots peeking through. Rn my natural hair is extremely healthy, very thick and shiny.
Basically everyone's dyed hair looks like shit after a few days, it only looks good out of the salon. I hate how messy and unkempt it looks. Is there something very low maintenance that grows out well that I could get?
pic related, left is what my hair looks like, right is what I've been thinking about

Short hair with curtain bangs?
No. 260410
>>260404The hair on the right is just about grey, which is notorious for being hell to correctly make happen AND upkeep. That tone would require bleaching to near platinum and then adding in a ton of grey pigment which is why a common misconception is that it's not even that light so it must be easier and less damaging than blonde.
You can even find girls on YouTube vlogging about how dying their hair gray fucked their hair up and took many years to grow out.

>>260404If you're concerned about roots and bleaching your whole head, I would consider doing a balayage. That way, you can have some light color without having to bleach your hair completely and having a hard line of growout. The main thing you'd have to worry about is using a color-safe shampoo and toning it semi-frequently so it doesn't turn completely yellow like the left side of picrel.

I have very curly and thick hair that is quite long, as in it goes to my butt. It's awesome but I'm kind of over it. The constant tangles sucks. I also always somehow manage to get it pulled like shutting the car door on it or it just getting caught on something I'm walking pass. It's tedious as hell.
With that said, I did put a lot of effort into my hair and I'm quite invested. It tooks years to get it where it's at. I get compliments on it every single time I go out and that not an exaggeration. It's crazy and I feel pretty blessed.
Anyways, I want to get a bob length cut with bangs. I haven't been able to bring myself to do it though. I know the compliments will stop and I know that I will never have this long of hair again. pic rel is basically what my hair looks like.

I have medium thickness hair, it's at my lower back now but the ends are super thin. If I start getting regular trims (small amounts, like a cm or so per month) will tends become thicker or is my hair just not made to be long and beautiful? I really want at least picrel, is that achievable? I have bleached the underside of my hair a little bit before and am growing out an undercut so it looks even thinner, I just wear it in a bun every day now to hide my dead ends. I don't want my hair short or medium length, I love my long hair I just wish it was in better condition (I use natural shampoo and leave in conditioner).

anons advice please, i feel so stupid. went to a salon wanting to get an all over cool, light blonde with some highlights that would be platinum light light blonde, have naturally cool brown hair which is reddish brown from box dying. the girl like bleached about half of it to platinum, and left the other half my reddish brown, now it looks like fucking karen hair blonde mixed with reddish brown very very warm which doesnt work with my cool skin. she said to wait 2 weeks then come back and like she'll lighten the rest, i dont know if i trust her, plus the treatment she told me to book on her website is 200 dollars, as was the first one, i really dont feel like spending fucking 400 dollars plus tip on hair, i thought it would be achievable in one day, my hair lightens really easily. also im worried im gunna go back and shes gunna do the same thing foils and still leave in some of the red brown, i like tried to confirm with her before i left like it'll be lightened all over right and she said something about like she's not sure if she can. a portion of it is already bleached to platinum and the other portion is just fucking red brown, if she bleaches all over will it fry and destroy the already super bleached portion? should i try to fix it myself like with some sort of not too strong bleach and developer that'll lighten up the brown to a blonde i could then tone into a cool dirty blonde?? or should i go somewhere else being like can you guys please lighten up the brown into a cool dirty blonde?
im crying cause i look fucking stupid and wasted so much fucking money :( I should've just done it myself or like insisted that my hair could be done in one day since it lightens quite easily.
pic rel is reference images i showed her and once my hair fully dries i'll post what it looks like now. please dont bully i feel and look stupid and have been crying for 8 hours. i did this to treat myself cause i haven't been to a salon in like 6 years and im feeling bad about a breakup and now i look fucking dumber than ever

>>263051 said. Your virgin hair's ability to lift means fuck all once you've put color on it, and you chose one of the most difficult colors to remove. That requires a corrective color process which definitely can't be done in one day. Of course it's going to cost a shit load because it's going to take the stylist several hours plus loads of products. You may not even get as light as you want at the end of it all, and wherever you end up she is still going to have to do processes on it to condition it so it doesn't look fried to shit. I don't know why she didn't try to talk you out of it and if she did you should have listened. If you did it yourself you'd have come out way worse.

I've tried to read about dying your hair but there seems to be so many buts and exceptions, and I feel like I read something different every time. I was wondering if someone well versed in hair dye can give me concrete answers. I'm thinking about dying my hair for the first time. My natural hair is a dark very warm blonde and I want to go to a cool light brown (picrel) is there a way to do this either temporarily, something that washes out after a few weeks or that can be removed with a product if I don't like it?

or maybe I'm not recognizing it? I usually wear my hair like pic, I don't really like defined curls and that seems to be the trend

2 weeks ago I dyed my natural dirty blonde hair black. I hate my natural colour and always wanted black hair. I'm here to encourage any unsure anons who want to do the same because I could not be more happy with the result.
I used picrel which I do NOT recommend because it comes out way too fake looking. However it has now washed out to a very natural looking black-brown and I will be looking for a dye closer to this colour than just plain black.

How can I quickly promote new hair growth?
I had to take meds for a stomach issue which has thinned it considerably (to me, at least). I'm tempted to cut it again because long and stringy/all uneven isn't ideal, but it's taken me four years to grow it to just below the breast from a bob and I'll miss the length. Having to wait four years to have long+thick is grim either way.
Also, has any ex-fatty anon experienced slight hair thinning after weight loss? I always had crazy thick hair as a kid and teen, but when I stopped eating 3000-5000 calories a day it became pretty average. My nutrition is the best it can be within my parameters, and I take supplements as needed.
Is that just the price to pay to maintain a healthy body? It's been years so I'm not too concerned about reversing it, just curious.
No. 271346
>>270932My hair thinned significantly after weight loss too. It's not exactly as thick as it used to be but I've regrown most of it. Make sure you're eating a balanced diet, not just a low-cal diet. I went on a very restrictive diet and lost weight too quickly and I think that's part of what

I used to have extremely oily hair, which gave me efortless Pantene commercial hair just with daily wash and light conditioner. My hormones regulated with weight loss and now my hair is forever dry and breaking with oiliness showing easily at the roots (because fine straight hair), just like every other unfortunate woman in my family.
For me I think the hair loss results from any calorie restriction regardless of macros but then I never tested it strictly.

Could I ask please for some personal recommendations for:
Silk pillow cases
Sleep bonnets
And epilators?
It's impossible to trust reviews anywhere anymore and I would rather trust anons here. The ones I bought in the past are crap.
Also, a hairstyling question: Does anyone have any suggestions for good at home hairstyles (preferably for long, fine/wavycurly hair) that look cute and don't pull much, maybe with an added bonus that they can 'prep' your hair to be somewhat styled after you take them out?
As I have gotten older and have no energy for anything outside of work, I let my hair look pretty gross if I am home. I try to care for it after I wash it but I think I am doing something wrong, it just always looks gross and nappy thanks to genetics- it only looks nice when I go the whole 10 yards with styling which takes forever. I am also cursed in that my hair looks like shit after I sleep no matter what I do, so all that hard work doesn't last. It's the kind of hair that gets greasy-looking after a day no matter what (tried CGM), kinks and tangles easily, and just forget it if the weather is humid. It's like floss. Even after regular cuts and being virgin hair. I swear to god it has a mind of its own.
Months ago I did start doing a single braid or 2 side braids (and sleeping in them) but it looks kinda meh when I take them out and looks ugly as a style on me anyway. I recently tried velcro curlers which have been super nice and made me realize I should use time at home more productively with a passive hair prep to work off of later for a nice style. But doing curlers every day is cumbersome and they can get in the way if I am cleaning or doing chores, plus it isn't an actual cute style. I'm trying to find recs online but am struggling and would love some suggestions here if anyone has some.
I've noticed a lot of my family members (all older) also look really gross at home and only put effort into looking nice if they are going out. Messy hair, kind of ratty clothing… Not sure if this is something I subconsciously picked up, but gosh I wanna change because I do not feel good about myself when I look like this at home, despite having little energy. I did get myself some cute roomwear which helped a ton, but I really want to get into the habit of doing cute simple things with my hair for myself when home (that can hopefully prep my hair for nicer styling later when taking it out). Maybe it will help me feel a bit better about myself to not look/feel like a nappy haired gremlin.

>>271491>>271492I think I expressed myself kinda bad; I actually do layered haircuts for my own hair since yes, they do frame my face better. But what I meant is that I wish I could do a shorter, or even flatter/straighter layered cut like some in
>>271431 or
>>271419 or picrel, but I'd just look really weird with my lego face. For me it has to be neck length or longer. I also like stuff like
>>271492 on others, but it's just not my style, personally. I already have a mix of strong and soft facial features, so I think an style like that with more textured hair would make the stronger features pop even more. I do like my longer hair (imagine the Rain one in that pic but a bit more wavy/curly), but sometimes I would love to have a cute, versatile short hair without it making me look weird lol
Also, I though all layered hairs like that were called shags or ~wolf cuts~ or whatever, as long as it was layered and had a bit of mullet going on. Guess I stand corrected!

>>271627I have a slip silk pillowcase which I really like, it has a zip for the closure which is super nice.

I find braids to be the best for at home hairstyle that styles your hair and is protective, or twisting your hair up into a couple of clips (depending how much hair you have) at the back or sides of your head.
I haven't tried any of the heatless curl kits you sleep with in your hair but that's next on my list as when I was younger my mum used to style my hair this way but by using rags.

My hair is naturally brown (my hair is closes to #4 on this chart) and I want to dye it blonde. I have read several places that it's impossible to dye dark hair without using bleach. Problem is that every hairdresser in my area is expensive and I can't afford it and I'm too chicken to bleach it myself. So what would happen if I just dyed my hair without bleaching it? I know it's not going to look naturally blonde but will it make my hair look less brown?

>>271838Dye is a deposit. If you dye a brown t-shirt red, it would just become a darker more reddish brown.
You could look into a bleach bath tutorial on YouTube.

Has anyone here gotten layers, maybe a shag or a wolf cut with fine or thin hair? Mine is dark brown, but I don't want bangs unless they're pretty long a curtain-y because I have a weird long yet narrow forehead and very high and wide cheekbones. My hair is just a long, straggly, slighty wavy with like two or three proper curls, mess right now and I wanna go get it cut!

I grew up as an only child with no older siblings and quite an emotionally absent mother, not to mention I apparently have autism so I've just routinely stuck with the same hairstyle for years (which is cute and gets lots of compliments like Picrel) but my question is how does someone cack-handed learn to do cute hairstyles/know what to do with hair in general? I will keep my bangs until the day I die and take good care of them, but my hair is thick, italian and I never know how to style it and do cute hairstyles I see around on the internet.
Are there channels and tutorials that are easy to follow? Thank you nonnies love from a hot bitch who has learned to do everything else now but the hair is just where I just follow habit and forget I could actually try and style it!!

>>322639Anon most girls/women don't do anything with their hair besides a basic ponytail/bun/braid to get it out of the way, you're not "cack-handed" you're in a super average position as far as hair goes.
Anyway literally go to youtube and search for things like: cute hairstyles for bangs, hairstyles for long hair, hairstyles for beginners and just browse until you find something you like.
