Ok nonnies I have a silly question. I'm a natural blonde. I've been using minoxidil for the past year and and thank god it worked and my hair stopped falling out, but it turned my hair darker at the top, and I read that can indeed happen. I wanted to know if my hair still looks natural or does it look bleached bc of the darker roots kek

>>272810I've tried that to no avail. My hair looks like picrel right after I wash it, just a bit less curly perhaps. As it gets oilier over the next few days it tames down but still looks bad. I really want to try curtain bangs but it will never look decent with my hair.

>>273676I divide my hair in half, pour about a tablespoon into my hand and use that amount for either side (so 2 tablespoons). I have waist length hair though, if your hair is shorter use a bit less. I start with putting it in my ends which soak the oil up pretty much immediately, then I re-apply it to the tips and length of my hair, up until the part of my hair that's already greasy. I don't soak it in oil, just put enough in it so it feels as greasy as my scalp and let it sit in one of those claw clips for a while. When you take it out it should feel like your whole hair is greasy (like natural grease). I've also heard coconut oil 'sticks' way more onto your hair which might be part of your problem, I've only ever used olive oil and it works like a charm! I don't even shampoo my ends that much, I double shampoo my scalp and the second time put some in my ends and scrunch it a bit, it's never looked gross or greasy for me (though parts of my hair are slightly bleached, it's not too dry just slightly damaged but I think that could have a lot to do with the absorption of the oil). I have naturally thin/straight hair btw, I don't know what this would do for other hair types but I'm sure there's some info out there. Hope this helps!

I'm lost with my shitty hair. It's super thin and super oily, my hairline is super high so my forehead is huge but there isn't enough hair for bangs, not even curtain bangs because I have these big bald gaps on the sides? This seems to look like male pattern baldness but I'm a woman. I think it has gotten a bit worse as I got older and also since using products that make my hair healthier but appearing thinner, because when it was dry it looked fuller as well but it didn't feel very healthy or soft. What the fuck do I do? I can't cover my huge forehead and my hair is so damn thin, do I just give up and grow my bangs out anyway and just accept my 10head and thin hair? I already take iron supplements but I'm pretty sure it's always been like this or similar to this anyway..

>>274873I have the same and there's a few things you can try. Right now, I'm trying the rosemary oil+scalp massage combo, which supposedly stimulates the hair follicles similar to Rogain. For a more permanent solution, there's also hairline microblading, which is less expensive than a full hair transplant, but supposedly lasts around 2 years. And there's always products designed to fill in the hairline, like Mamonde's hair shadow.
I definitely agree that the bangs you have now are highlighting it, but most people probably won't notice just looking at you. It's not in style nowadays but I find that a side part and long, swoopy bangs is the way to go to hide my own temples.

I had natural ringlets in youth, but my mother straightened it or put products in it to keep it relatively so. When I turned 11, I started dying it black. It automatically lost shape to fried waves. I've been growing out my natural hair for 3 years now in my 20s. I don't use product and take boiling hot showers. My natural hair is incredibly frizzy but relatively straight/wavy. I'm not sure if it's possible to retain my natural curls or if the changed when I hit puberty. The texture of my hair is thinner and doesn't react to humidity the way it once did. I'm Scottish and my hair is about 1C/2B now. It used to look like pic rel.

>>276426nta but important sidenote: Do NOT use salt sprays or other similar products on bleached or otherwise brittle hair. Bleached hair snaps from products like that very easily, especially at the top. Bleached hair is often already brittle and weak and salt sprays dry it out even more. I lost a lot of hair when I used salt spray on bleached hair myself. Volumising sprays with heat protection (with barely any hold) are better at adding texture to weak hair.
Sprays like this are very good for giving healthy hair texture which I think you meant but felt important to mention in case some
nonnie didn't know.

>>276502Generally blues turn really green on blonde hair. If you don't mind it to stay forever as it's impossible to get out of hair, you might be able to do it with Elumen Bl@all.. That is the only blue I know of that needs no toning, but it's seriously impossible to get out.
With other blue dyes you should tone it first to as neutral as possible. You can use a permanent toner or a silver direct dye or just some purple/pink direct dye mixed with conditioner. Toning is easy to do yourself so don't be afraid of toning, unless you want green like this picture.
Also keep in mind that a non-greenish bright blue colour requires a very very light base. I suggest finding before and after photos of people using the same dye on a similar base to see what it will look like. Since your hair isn't platinum it might be better to go for a dark blue colour.

You know how there's always these pictures of dramatic bad bleach job "rescues" and it goes from looking a frizzy mess to super glossy, bouncy and smooth?
What the fuck are they using to get that glossy, bouncy smooth look?
Doesn't seem to matter what the fuck I do, protein treatment, deep condition, leaving in oils, etc, my hair looks frizzy and split end like. Even when I cut it all off and grew it out natural then didn't style it for all of COVID so no product or heat damage, it had that frizziness.
I assume they use a gloss treatment for the glossy part but what the actual fuck keeps it so perfectly smooth looking?!!

I had one hairdresser when I was younger ask me to straighten my hair, she'd cut it dry, mistaking heat damage for dead hair and cutting way too much off. Now as an adult my options are to travel far (in the UK there are like 10 salons that specialise in curly hair) to get an overpriced cut OR do it myself. I have a consultation with a local non curly salon, highly recommended and hopefully they can cut my hair though I really don't trust it unless they advertise as such. I'm biracial, so I have a lot of texture which throws hairdressers off. I'm just frustrated I guess.

>>285910Synthetic wigs with bangs and a fake scalp are going to be the cheapest and easiest to look natural (though IMO, cheap synthetic will always look wiggy). You can soak the wig in fabric softener to lessen the plastic shine.
Human hair wigs with HD or invisible lace are going to look the most realistic, that is if you go through the trouble of plucking and cutting baby hairs (provided the wig is not pre plucked), bleaching the knots (which are the tiny little black dots you see on the lace which is where the bundle of hair is connected to the wig) (again, if the wig is not pre bleached), and gluing it to your hairline (though if the wig has bangs you are more likely to get away with not gluing it down). If you really want a natural looking wig with human hair I recommend luvme hair, hairvivi, and ashimaryhair. Human hair wigs are going to be more expensive than synthetic, and will typically run you about 150 USD and up. I don't have much experience with synthetic, all I can guess is that the higher you pay for synthetic, or even getting a synthetic/human hair blend, it will look more realistic. People will say to never pay more than 70 USD for synthetic wigs, so keep that in mind when shopping.

>>287077Basically yes, and check the ingredient list. Look for unrefined, cold pressed etc. It will vary depending on the specific oil. When people say they use rosemary oil for thinning hair or whatever, they mean the essential oil. But it needs to be diluted in a carrier oil - it's way too concentrated as is and it can burn your scalp. This is a great article specifically for hair loss

Though keep in mind that my curls have a big diameter. I recommended the brand to a friend with tight curls and he said it held too well, so that it gave him a “ramen hair” look that he didn’t like.

I dyed my hair bright red and it's now faded to a really pretty pinkish blonde like picrel,but I honestly love it. Is there a way to get this color without waiting for it to fade out? I've looked at pastel dyes but even those are a bit pinker than what I'm aiming for

I have 2A hair (Asian-type). I'm trying to grow it long this time (always had it short) but it noticeably falling off more. Is it normal for longer hair to shed more? Also some note said my hair is growing slowly (my nails and body hair grow normally). It was like picrel 10 months ago and it's just reached shoulder length now.

Guess I do need a trim after all. I thought long hair would be more convenient in terms of I don't need to get frequent haircuts. I'll try to keep growing it out and while finding a suitable hair tonic. I don't put things on my hair since it gets oily easily.

I really want to dye my hair a muted, dark blue shade but I know it's a bad idea. I'd have to pay someone to bleach my hair to shit, make sure it is as blonde and cool toned as possible so that the dye doesn't turn green and then I'd be stuck with blue hair until I cut it all off. I miss being a teen and not giving a shit about any of this and impulsively dying my hair.

>>2965751. Washing them along with my face in the morning. Used the la Roche posey blue bottle on both my face and bangs together. Sounds messy but it's quick and not drying at all (no I did not condition them). It'll feel awkward at first but it's kinda refreshing. Make sure to work a bit of the face wash into the root area and rinse well.
2. Towel drying my face and bangs well then using a cylinder shaped hot air brush to dry them into a nice shape. It won't make your banks super old school round like some people think. The bigger the cylinder especially, it'll just give them a bit of body.
This doesn't take more than 5 minutes for me and bangs look fresh every day

>>297922You'll get awful looking roots after like 2 weeks.
When you go lighter, you can have 1 or 2 cm of dark roots and still look somewhat fine. but lighter roots on black hair will make you look like you're balding with just a few millimeters (and I have darker hair than you). Black hair will give you a lot more trouble than just damage and fetishization (which will happen even if you're not alt, black hair is as much of a fetish as blondes now)
if you go for semi-permanent dye, you can say goodbye to your white shirt collars. and your bangs will stain your forehead when it gets too hot outside too. I haven't tried demi-permanent since middle school, but it might be a smarter choice.
I miss my black hair so bad sometimes but I really don't miss the nightmare maintenance (and the even worse nightmare that was transitioning back into natural hair)
tl;dr : yes, it's a bad idea

One thing you can also try for oil control is dry shampooing before you get oily. IE, wash and dry your hair, then immediately apply the dry shampoo. Or spray it the night after you wash your hair and let it absorb throughout the night. I have short hair now but when my hair was longer, dry shampoo was my savior.

I'm doubting because if I don't like it or miss it would take about 2/3 years to grow it to the length it currently is, but I am kinda tired of the maintenance (washing takes forever and finding 3ft long hairs everywhere is annoying).

How does every girl I know get her hair to look nice like pic related? It doesn't have to be straight like that, just a popular style I noticed. Yet it looks healthy, pretty, and uniform.
Meanwhile my hair looks limp and flat, uneven texture, easily gets messy or oily yet can also be too dry. It's almost troon-like and I'm only saved by having a decentish face. Picture a homely/mousy girl and she has hair like me (I probably am one lbr). The only hair care I do is shampoo and condition, which I change products for regularly and make sure to get the ones without nasty stuff in it. I'm guessing there is more to the process of getting hair like the pic. I don't even want it that perfect but closer to what normal girls have that I somehow never achieved. I actually would prefer to have waves or curls but I hate the idea of introducing heat to my 99% virgin hair.
No. 307049
>>307046>99% virgin hairSpeaking from my experience, and I used to have the frizzy "hermoine" hair when it was at its most virgin, heat styling via a hot air brush after your hair is 70 - 80% air dried is an absolute godsend and the one beauty tool I'd actually call a holy grail item. I've been drying my hair like this for over a decade every 3 days and it's very shiny and long.
Another thing I do is eat and drink protein bars and shakes. They have some good whey-based shakes that have a ton of good vitamins and nutrients and I've been doing this for over 5 years. Your hair may be virgin but if you have nutritional deficiencies you can still produce damaged looking hair. The quality of your hair is more contingent on you not having vitamin deficiencies and not bleaching or ironing the shit out of it than it is completely avoiding all heat.
As I've said, I've dried mine with a hot air brush for years but I don't mess with irons as their heat needs to be too high to work and is directly contacting the hair via plates, while the air brush produces hot air not hot metal, is already a lower temperature, and is evaporating water which displaces some of that heat energy. Bonus points if you point a fan at yourself while you use a hot air brush, the vapor flies away drying the hair faster and the cool air immediately sets the hair and locks in shine.
No. 307050
>>307046>I hate the idea of introducing heat to my 99% virgin hair.Unfortunately heat is exactly how you get nice hair. Hair care is a bit of a catch 22 - in order for it to be healthy, you should avoid heat, not wash it too often, etc. But washing it and using heat is what makes it look good on a daily basis. Most of us have a bit of frizz or flatness that we really can't solve without heat styling.
If you're really determined not to harm your hair, you should possibly aim for a style with more texture. Like, sleep with your hair in a bun for volume or do heatless curls or braids for waves rather than never styling it and hoping it magically becomes beautifully smooth.

>>307049>>307050Everything you've said makes total sense nonas, thanks. I hope it wasn't weird to describe my hair that way but it's exactly why I've been hesitant to make a change, especially since I had recent health issues that made it deteriorate.
However, I see what you mean. Maybe I'll start with overnight braiding for waves to begin with or something else not involving heat, then move into it if I'm still unsatisfied (likely). I'm grateful my mom got me a heat brush (I think it's what you're describing) recently as a gift, so far I have barely used it. Time to break it in some more. Tbh heat damage sounds like a bit of a boogeyman since evidently most other women's hair looks great when they use it.
Pic is what I have and plan to actually use now (with heat protectant)

Does anyone know a light/non-greasy hair oil that can be used frequently?
I desperately need one since my hair ends are dry as fuck and only hair oils make them feel alive for a while, otherwise I look like picrel because I have short hair. But I also live in a humid country and can't deal with that greasy feeling on my head it feels like I'm getting deep fried whenever I step outside kek. I constantly feel the need to 'wash it off' but I can't, because then I'll end up with semi-greasy hair (if I use a gentle shampoo) and possibly acne or a dry scalp and dandruff. I can't try hair serums either because they could be expensive and many good brands are unavailable here, while hair oils are cheap and accessible. I know, covering my head to avoid sun exposure would/does help but it certainly doesn't turn dry hair into soft and silky all by itself.

I have 2b/2c hair and I'd like to relax only my bangs, is it a bad idea ? I'm thinking about using picrel (n°1) since it's not too hard to find.
I like my blunt bangs, they are the style that suits me best and I have never not wanted them so I'm not worried about the permanence or anything. However I am constantly exposed to humidity and getting them to lay flat for more than a couple hours is impossible, I have to flat iron them three times a day and it's just stupid. My hair is currently completely natural and undyed, and I did a lot of dumb shit with it before with no problems, so I don't think it's too fragile and bangs get trimmed often anyway. But I'm afraid to take the plunge because whenever I see someone with relaxed hair it's a dry, gravity defying mess.

>>307135Honestly my only experiences are with picrel since i have 3c hair and I can't say anything nice about relaxers, granted hair relaxers for black women are pretty much nuclear explosions for your hair compared to what you have posted. If you intend to relax your bangs you really have to invest in some bond repairing products to make sure it doesn't look like shit and look up maintenance videos. I'd also consider patch testing with a small section of your hair you don't give a shit about before fully committing because if it goes wrong, there is probably no way you can hide it. It's probably good to try and avoid getting it wet and straightening it as much as possible after doing the relaxer.

I style my bangs with a blow dryer/round brush also and then flat iron and set them with hairspray. Back when I was in school this would make them last the whole day and even more, but I have a physical job now and am either working outdoors or inside a warehouse that's very humid, not to mention the sweat, so that's why I thought about relaxing them but yeah, it's probably not worth it.
I actually grew out my bangs a bit since I planned to cut them post-relaxer, but instead I'll cut something more layered and airy that will blend well with the rest of my hair when it curls up. Or I could try micro-bangs, but let's not replace a bad idea with another.

>>310100I have a pixie that I've maintained for a year-ish now. Never cut it myself though, because mistakes are just that much more obvious when your hair is short. I get trims from this pretty cheap salon school by the students there. Most places advice a trim once every 4-6 weeks but you can kind of stretch it to two months if you don't mind rocking the overgrown look.
Do you want to cut it yourself? How about you get it cut professionally first and then do trims yourself? The maintenance kind of sucks, especially if your hair grows fast.

I bought one of these to keep my bangs up for morning skincare without styling them again, but for the life of me I can't get my hair to stay in it. I feel retarded because it seems like everyone else complains that their hair gets stuck, but even if I physically smash my hair into the velcro as I roll it still slides out and I just end up adding grease and kinking the tips of my bangs because they won't stay stuck long enough to roll them under. My hair is extremely fine, thin, and straight… is there just not enough to grab onto? Has anyone else had this problem and figured out a solution?

I even watched some brand-sponsored videos on how to use it and the same instructions were given, plus that you could use it on healthy or damaged hair. The sponsors emphasized that you "couldn't use too much" and that it was safe.
It probably does work better for bleach damage, but the brand definitely should've been clearer about that. I think that's why they're getting sued now, because it was being shilled as a "miracle product for all hair".

Picrel is just a reference but the left is similar to the side fringe i have now and the right is how i would like to cut it, i'm pretty sure i can not pull it off and it will end up looking like the top of a pineapple, should i just give it up?

>>273959I just happened to be scrolling up itt and saw this question that was directed at me 8 whole months ago and I feel bad for not answering. On the very off-chance this
nonny sees this reply, try texture spray wax but use it extremely sparingly. I do one spritz around my head from like 12" away and use it to "piece" your ends together to give the texture of the shag more definition (I usually skip this unless my hair is extremely clean and I need it to look bedheaddy asap beacuse my hair will do the same thing on its own in like 10hrs after washing). Also DRY texture spray which does the same thing as the spray wax but is much lighter in weight and less greasy; you don't have to be as careful with this one because it is more lightweight but still use relatively sparingly as opposed to sonething like hairspray application. I spray this on my roots to lift the hair and keep the texture prominent, otherwise my hair falls flat. (Note though: even when my hair falls flat it still looks pretty good because of the nature of the shag haircut but obvi the products make it look cuter) And last but not at all least, volume/texture powder. You can honestly only buy/use this and omit the other 2 products above because it's so good. Lightly sprinkle on your roots (not on top of your hair parting though, always put it under the top layer of hair) and it will look good even without the other two products mentioned above. It's also really good for keeping bangs in place on breezy days if you put it right on the base of the bangs. Use sparingly as well because it is extremely effective and will become a sticky mess if you put too much on. It's easy to learn though. When my mom and I discovered this product we went ape shit. If you're a burger let me know because I have a tip on really good deals for these products. I hope she sees this post!! Currently growing out a short shag and it's so playful and cute

my coworker keeps telling me I should dye my hair because it looks 'boring', I'm a natural blonde and idk what other shade or color fits me, she also tells me my hair doesn't look good from the front and I know that, my bangs are pretty thin because I struggle with alopecia and I explained it to her many times but she doesn't get it. It's still much better than it was before because I used to have my scalp literally showing at the top of my head and now you can't see it basically. I achieved that after almost 2 years of using minoxidil and improving bloodflow in my scalp through everyday massages and exercises, I also supplemented vit D and went full keto and included products that lower DHT levels. Someone who shits on my hair like her doesn't have any idea how much effort I had to put into keeping my hair. If I gave up, now I would have a bald spot on the top of my head and I would need to wear a topper. Even my trichologist was surprised by my effects, she didn't expect that, 2 years ago we were considering platelet rich plasma injections but recently she said I don't need them. Sorry for blogposting I just don't have a place to vent about my hair, I explained so many times how my alopecia works but certain people don't seem to get it and keep telling me about various conditioners and other shit when the problem doesn't lies in the hair itself. But on the topic of dying, do you think I should dye my hair? Also I have a question for owners of thin hair here: is blow drying better than air drying for you? I always thought that blow drying is bad for thin hair but recently I've been reading some different opinions. I'm also considering buying something like Revlon one step hair dryer, I basically never blow dryed or stylized my hair and I'm wondering if I could make it look better this way. I don't want to cause much damage though. What are some good heat protectants?

>>317044your coworker's a retard anon, don't dye your hair. Since you have a light hair color, the root regrowth would make your hair look even more sparse/like you are balding.
I don't have thin hair/alopecia specifically but usually, for people whose hair is fragile, it's better to avoid heat and dyes altogether in order to limit breakage, hair loss etc. Idk if there's a good cream/oil to tame the weird texture that minoxidil causes but maybe look into that if you're really worried about your hair looking messy. Or find a different haircut that you like if you're that bored with your current look, but whatever you do, keep your idiot coworker out of it.

I recently cut most of my hair off due to it being severely bleach damaged. now I'm looking for black wigs but of course it's all indian hair, which is naturally black, but it is visibly not my natural hair color/texture. should I dye it over with black box dye to make it look more like white people hair that has only been dyed? srry if this sounds autistic
No. 317683
>>317311I'd suggest just letting your natural hair grow out for a while unless you know for sure you want to have black hair for a long time, black box dye is can be hard to get out of your hair and keep it healthy, hair salons are always bitching about that on social media and it will be really expensive (I saw one posting about how she charges an extra $100 for clients who come in with black box dye on their hair and called it "the shoe polish tax"). but if you KNOW you want black hair, it shouldn't be a problem.
my other suggestion would be to try a veggie like arctic fox or manic panic. the thing about those dyes is that they work better on bleached hair because they coat the outside of the hair instead of entering the hair shaft like permanent dye, so they typically don't last as long. you can also blow dry the dye when it's in your hair to make it last longer

I had short hair for most of my life but decided to grow it out because it’s more cost efficient. I’ve always been very low-effort in terms of my appearance, so lo and behold my hair is shoulder length now but looks like shit and I’m shedding everywhere. This is lolcow so I might get called smelly for this, but I have decided to embark on a natural haircare journey. I watched Katherine Sewing’s videos on youtube, as well as some other historical youtubers. Katherine goes a bit hard on the ayuverdic/eastern medicine mumbo jumbo which isn’t really my thing, but a lot of her practical advice seems sound, such as wearing protective hairstyles, using your scalp’s moisture as a natural conditioner and using e.g. a boar bristle brush to dry-clean your hair. I’m excited to see whether I’ll have any more growth and for how long I can avoid going to the hairdresser. Need to learn how to braid hair. Will post updates if I remember to. Does anyone else have experience doing "natural haircare"?

Make sure to wash your hair at least once two days because otherwise it'll get matted and the overly produced oil will only make things look and feel worse. Use hair oils from drugstore brands instead of buying natural stuff and trying to mix yourself because you'll probably fuck up the ph and get something that's too acidic since oils are acidic to start with.
Don't play with your hair or touch your scalp too much as it'll cause breakage and make your hair get oily quicker.
Get haircuts every 3-6 months if you can.
Always blowdry your hair, leaving it wet is more damaging.
Also get your blood levels checked, if you're unhealthy, no amount of upkeep will help your hair look better.

You don't need to use animal fats/grease/avocado oil or whatever to style/treat your hair, although some people did or probably still do for that matter.

>>319542Honestly I had great results with Olaplex no. 3, but there was another anon earlier itt who said she had bad results. There are a lot of great reviews that say it’s a hair saving miracle, and there are a lot of negative reviews that say they got bald spots after using it. I’m not sure what the disconnect is tbh. My advice that has personally worked for me:
- start application on dry hair BEFORE washing
- dampen hair with Olaplex no. 0 or with water (only dampen, not super wet)
- section hair and apply no. 3 evenly (I use a wide tooth comb)
- cover with plastic shower cap (keep hair damp)
- leave on about 1-2 hours
- wash hair with shampoo and conditioner
Some reviews I have read seem to think Olaplex no. 3 is like a conditioner, but it’s some heavy duty shit imo. It calls itself a “bond builder”. Don’t leave it in your hair overnight or use like a leave in conditioner. The brand has some leave in conditioners and styling products that are pretty decent though. I also think it’s more catered to heavily processed or bleach damaged hair rather than regular old dry hair. I used Olaplex before when my hair wasn’t bleached and barely saw a difference, but on my extra shitty bleached hair, it really made a difference. I hope this helps you anon.

Also for some reason once in a rare while it seems to…fluff up?. Like, it looks more dense, is much shinier, and looks less frazzled. Normally it's hell to detangle and in the sun has hair sticking up everywhere. My hair gets so greasy-looking normally that I have to shampoo it daily usually or wear a hat. The color itself worsens how bad it looks because it's a very mousy, cool, almost bluish brown next to my very bronze, warm skin.
IDK. I 'm just sick at feeling at war with my own natural hair, sometimes I feel tempted to just get a pixie cut, but I realize that it might actually worsen the issues/take even more styling to not look like a mess.

What do you think Scully's hair color is in numbers? I'm mostly interested in a tone than base color (7.?). It certainly has either .3- or .-3 (gold), but it seems like there should be another number, and I feel like if it were 4 it would be way more coppery? Please don't laugh at my pitiful attempts hehe, I'm no colorist

>>319811She said to
only blow dry and wash your hair every two days and if she uses natural products and air dries her hair looks matted… lol. Girl does not have naturally straight hair, clearly.
No. 319998
>>319811What do you mean how? Hair is more fragile when wet, which is why you shouldn't brush when wet, letting your hair stay in that fragile state for hours will damage it more that applying heat for a minimal time. Girls I know who naturally dry their hair always had the worst and most damaged hair possible even though it wasn't dyed or anything which makes me believe this.
>>319814My hair strands are thin so it gets weird when I don't blowdry but let it naturally dry. I don't get why you'd gatekeep straight hair though, what I do definitely works out for me and since anon wanted to grow out her hair I made recommendations. I don't understand how you expect me to wash my hair everyday and let it naturally dry when my hair is almost down my butt. It'd barely be dry by the time of next wash, kek.

Another balding one coming in. For me it was that I got celiac disease maybe after the vaxx like another anon told me. My hair is armpit long and so thin its like two rat tails. Maybe one thick rat tail. I will get this cute haircut though so its ok I think I look better with shorter hair anyway. Very excited.

These diverse opinions on this color are like slaps from every direction. I've had burgundy before but it was darker, this color is very bright and will stand out anywhere. Another example.
I also considered to only have a section of dyed hair. I also considered lavender, or a deep red. I want to live my best fullest life, hair grows back.

>>320504If you have a good forehead and can tolerate growing pains after, sure. I think it looks super cool on other girls but unfortunately it just made my face look bare so I had to compensate with makeup/accessories. I missed my bangs and hair in the front more than all the length ironically. But it feels really nice to the touch and after washing it sometimes I miss it. It's been like 2 years since I've done it and I'm trying to get it at least shoulder length again to see how I feel about going shorter again.
Your hair will also 'velcro' to things like pillowcases, beanies, ect right after it is done.

Just curious, whats is your haircare routine? Mine is shampoo/condition 2 times a week, oil once a week and ACV rinse once a month. It's worked wonders, my hair is down to my tailbone now!
>>321502For your scalp an apple cider vinegar rinse might work, it also makes your hair more shiny so maybe that will help (it also gets rid of dirt/product build up). Also a wooden hairbrush and oiling your hair before washing can help a lot with frizz. Good luck

>>321505Anon you don't have the hair that'd be fit for curly girl or no poo, I think. You're not curly enough, my hair texture is like yours if I let it airdry(which i dont) and we're just wavy not curly, which imo is easier to take care of.
My hair was kind of like yours and I just use a basic Korean brand shampoo that made my hair straighter and oil my wet hair after shower using loreals classic hair oil.
If you have buildup on your scalp you can use a cleansing shampoo once a week or so and shampoo your hair two times in the shower if you feel like once isn't enough. Your hair might be greasy and not using enough shampoo or not shampooing correctly might be the reason why.
I wash my hair like once a day or once two days and blowdry it while brushing it out which seems to make my hair straight even though my hair doesn't dry straight when I airdry.
If you want a neater look you can just straighten your hair or do keratin hair straightening but that'd be damaging.
>>321602Mine is washing once two days or so, oiling after washing and oiling before I ever brush my hair. My hair is straight, a few inches above my tailbone so a bit shorter than yours but I'll get a haircut soon because it's too long for me right now. My last haircut was like 3 months ago if I recall correctly.
No. 321636
>>321602I wash every 2-3 days, I use homemade shampoo bar soap. Herbal Essences Smooth rose-scented conditioner. I let it dry halfway without touching it then I brush it from the tips then move up until the top of my head. I don't use heat on my hair much anyone.
Going to be real, I don't know how to take care of my hair.
>>321606Yeah, they pushed the concept as a bandaid answer which just didn't help at all. I didn't know about my hair type back then which is my bad.
Where do you get the shampoo? I have been looking online for a while. I haven't tried to blow-dry my hair at all. That just occurred to me.
My mom didn't know how to deal with my hair type since hers is the opposite of mine super curly, fine, and thin hair. I'll look up how to shampoo properly to see if that helps. I usually just do the roots and rub my head for a bit then rinse it all out.

years, I can't do nothing about it. I also lost a big chunk of my hair and started thinning on the temples. Shitty hair genetics I think.

I'm contemplating whether I should stay black or dye my hair back to auburn. If you'd like to offer up any other color considerations that would work with my skintone, I struggle figuring out my season. All I ask is please no blonde
I want to say I'm a soft or true autumn but black actually looks okay on me so I might be a winter. All the charts I've seen for autumns scream that I need to stay away from black, but it's my favorite color. Brown eyes, my natural hair is brown with blonde and reddish streaks, freckles

>>321960Idk anon, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism at 15 but then after like a year all my thyroid hormones went back to normal and last time I checked them, like 2 years ago, they were still normal. My other hormones like estrogen, progesterone and testosteron are ok, everything seems to be normal except for DHT which is higher than it should be. I would have to take hormones to lower it and I couldn't take them if I wanted to get pregnant and also, my doctor told me she had patients wih much higher DHT levels than mine and they still had much thicker hair than mine so she also doesn't think that's the underlying cause. AGA makes me more sensitive to DHT but I don't want to stuff myself with hormones if all of my other hormones are all right, I don't want to disrupt them. If I had PCOS or something, I would consider it, but I don't.
I was vit D deficient but started suplementing and still no difference. I really think I just have shitty hair genetics. It's still hard to accept though, since my hair was the only thing I liked about myself, physically speaking, I think it was objectively beautiful, and even strangers on the street were complimenting me on it, both women and men, children etc.

I want a more boisterous red, similar to picrel, if I went for red again
I got a lot more compliments on auburn, which makes my heart sink. It's like people in general are more repulsed by black, but i like it better on myself. Just trying to find a half decent shade to go with so it my hair won't look like shit when I take my uni graduation pictures

no1curr but i got knotless box braids for my birthday and I am so in love with them. I went to a local african braider salon as opposed to an ig stylist like i did last year and the results are literally night and day and it took half the time! There are so many braids too so it looks full as fuck and there was 2 people working on my hair so it took 3 hours instead of the usual 6-8 hours. It looks like pic related but 10x better if you can imagine. I honestly want to wear box braids for the foreseeable future because its just so much easier for me to handle than my natural hair. The only thing Im nervous about is that I have to start looking for jobs again soon and I keep reading how corporate jobs hate box braids and you won't get hired if you go on an interview wearing it. I honestly feel like this is BS and fearmongering because box braids are neat and professional as fuck especially the smaller sized ones. I'm so tired of black hairstyles being policed and ridiculed. you literally have to think to yourself "will this hairstyle make me be treated like subhuman trash today?" I'm tired!!!

maybe in your case you could do a gloss so it's black but has a reddish reflection in the sun?

Is it possible having straight hair as a child (1b-1c), then getting wavier hair (2b-2c) after puberty kicks in, and finally going back to having straight hair (1b-1c) again at 23? In my teens I had crazy hormones that caused me some serious acne issues all over my upper body (but no PCOS), plus I had terrible stress and also kept my hair as dry as possible (even I had naturally oily hair) so it wouldn't compromise the skin on my back and my face. I didn't have any notion on haircare and so I used low quality shampoos and usually some camomille sprays that made everything worse. I never used conditioners. To fight my acne I went for an aggressive treatment with isotretinoin which dried my scalp and affected the quality of my hair. I was losing a lot of hairs every day and also noticed thinning despite having always had thick hair. On top of that, while I was at uni, I lived in a city that had very hard water. It's been two years since I quit the treatment, almost one year since I've moved back to my natal city with better water, and 7 months ago I chopped all my hair when I got a pixie haircut. I've been taking extreme care with my hair (high quality shampoo, oil scalp massages, ACV rinses, vitamin and collagen suplements, drinking all the water I need) and the hair that has grown since October is nothing like the one I had before. It's thick again, but softer and shinier. Is this due to a change of habits or does being completely out of puberty weight much more?

been experiencing a lot of hair loss problems from years of adolescent SSRI roulette. im cutting back my meds and im in fact now on an extremely low dose but my hair is so thin and patchy in places i have multiple bald spots - if i don't wash my hair for 2 days you can see my scalp just visible across my head. it's really hurting my self confidence, was already bullied throughout high school for being a "bald freak". I'm trying to get a hair cut to get a short masculine style again, because that usually helps make my hair look more voluminous, but i was already born with a genetic hair disease that causes dry/brittle hair and a very sensitive/patchy scalp. should i just shave it all off? i'll look like a freak but i kind of do anyway and im a computer science/artist hermit, so it wouldn't be a surprise. im kind of at my wits end, im not even 20 and ive lost so much hair it feels unsaveable. may just fully lean into the well-dressed insane person look, because at least i know how to dress myself and according to my girlfriend i don't come off as a 'tist, just an observant recluse. dunno. really wanted to vent as well lol, i'm surrounded by lib-type white people and all the therapy sources in my area just push the "you're beautiful the way you are!" bullshit

No. 332172
>>332061I used to use a lot of “natural” treatments to lighten hair, chamomile tea, lemon, plain old hydrogen peroxide, I personally don’t recommend any of them. Even if your hair is fairly light, the results are usually so subtle they’re barely noticeable, or they’re very orange/yellow toned. It’s up to you of course, but some subtle professionally done highlights and lowlights will look a lot better and not be so damaging since the process is more controlled.

>>331962Kind of late to the party but you could try a japanese hair dye such as Liese (recommending this one bc I haven't tried the others) my hair isn't as dark as yours but I used a brighter copper shade (bottom left in picrel) and it turned out very bright. So I think one of the darker reds would work on your hair. This was many years ago though, I think they changed their shade range since then.
For the eyebrows I just used brow mascara, there are special dyes but since it seemed troublesome and dangerous I never tried.
Dyeing your hair regularly is a considerable money drain and waste of time however. Don't do it just because an AI told you so.

Okay girls so my hair is like this naturally, very dark brown. Looks black in lower lighting and has a slight reddish/lighter brown tint in direct sunlight. Never bleached or dyed it.
Should I buy a natural looking red colour box dye and put it over my hair to achieve a natural redhead look? And do the same with my eyebrows? I'm obsessed with natural redheads and I already have a slight red tinge to my hair in the sunlight and I think it would suit my cool toned, pale white complexion.
On a side note, I saw a natural orange haired girl with blue eyes and while I usually prefer dark eyes, she looked like a princess and I probably looked like a strange creepy goblin staring at her lol. Why couldn't I be born with copper hair why does God hate me

>>334873I used to love dying my hair, so I say go for it! Make sure you're ok with it being a little bit damaged (all box dye is damaging to some degree, be forewarned). Careful not to give yourself hot roots. Be careful with box dyes because a lot of them are an unnatural tone. With reds you often get some version of the shades in picrel – traffic cone, ronald mcdonald or burgundy/purple wine-red and not a true ginger color. There are more natural looking oranges out there but you have to do your research.
if you have long hair you could always experiment first with the ends and do a two tone thing.

>>336960I found the Maui hair range to be quite damaging to my hair & scalp. The second ingredient is a long-chain sulfonate salt which is very drying and can cause the over-production of sebum to counteract the 'deep cleanse' it provides to the scalp.

I'm a complete noob when it comes to haircare so please no booly if i'm retarded, but how do I detangle my hair without it getting frizzy? I'm frustrated because my hair has a deep wavy texture with almost ringlets at the ends naturally but when I brush/comb it in the morning I just end up looking like picrelated. Most advice says to detangle when wet, which I do, but I can't shower in the morning due to timing issues so it'll inevitably get tangled again while I sleep.
No. 337985
>>337849>how do I detangle my hair without it getting frizzy? You don't. If you have curly hair you should only detangle it when wet, so you can get rid of the dead hair and get the conditioner evenly distributed throughout. Stop brushing/combing your dry hair because it will just mess up the shape of your natural curls.

No. 340556
>>340555I can't say for sure because I don't know how serious your special shampoo was, but if your scalp is not more sensitive than usual it should be fine. No harm in waiting longer if you're not sure. Bleach chemical burn on your scalp sucks, I've done it to myself. To lower the risk of chemical burn it's recommended not to shampoo for a couple days before bleaching roots. FYI if you are bleaching and your scalp starts to burn not just tingle then you should rinse it off immediately.
Are you worried about bleach and dye giving you a dandruff flareup? It can definitely make dandruff worse. Might be worth considering if you just went through a treatment.

I have 4c kinky af hair! I recently lost a lot of it due to me honestly turning lazy after my hair reached a certain length and not maintaining it among other things I was blow drying it like crazy because I wanted to see my length. (My hair shrinks like 75%). I also just hated detangling because it was time consuming and seemingly impossible the longer my hair got. Now that I noticed my hair was falling out this whole time I’ve decided to take my natural hair journey seriously again. What has been a game changer has been the knot on my watch detangler from aunt Jackie’s. When I tell you I can literally sleep on my Afro and wake up to it being a matted mess but as soon as I use that detangler my brush glides through my hair. I highly recommend if you are prone to knots and locs like me. I haven’t had to cut out a loc or rip through a knot since I started using it. I just wish I found it a year ago when my fro was giant. I’ll get my baby girl back!

>>341003Same anon I also tbh contribute Aussie shampoo and conditioner for my hair loss too! In like 2021 the natural hair community was raving about it specifically 4c girls because usually hair products not designed for our hair type are too harsh and drying. But aussies pull was that even the shampoo was softening and it made detangling in the shower easier. However I noticed that every time I used that product I would brush out clumps of hair. At first I thought it’s just shed hair and I’m being dramatic. But looking back I remember seeing big clumps of my hair on the floor. Then I saw a tik ton of a girl saying Aussie made her lose her hair so I stopped. As soon as I stopped using Aussie and went back to using shampoos and conditioners targeted for natural hair, my hair barely sheds! And when it does it’s not in large clumps.
Any nonnies experienced hair loss from Aussie products? Pic related was my go to for like almost 2 years straight and my hair is about half the length it was year ago

>>341930>>341862honestly i genuinely believe braids are not meant for every hair type. braids can be very harsh on your hair no matter the hair type.(hell sometimes its harsh for me and i have a whole afro) If you are noticing frizz and broken/tangled hair i would cease! Also please remember that just because someone's hair "looks" like yours doesnt mean their hair care will work for you. You have to factor in not only their hair type but density and even porosity too! That person might've had more density than you and could handle braids.
not to give out community secrets but, I feel like nonblack people with straight hair would benefit from wrapping their hair at night. I think that is a protective sleeping style that would benefit straight hair the most. in the black community (hispanic too) after we straighten our hair or get it permed we do this thing called wrapping (theres another term but i gave yall too much already) where you get a paddle brush a shit ton of bobby pins and brush all your hair to one side wrapping it around your head while bobby pinning it down. Not only does it maintain your style but it protects your ends from rubbing against your clothes/pillow while you sleep. Its also straight hair friendly and not harsh on your hair like braids would be. Pic related is how it looks when done correctly. Afterwards you get a scarf or bonnet to further protect your hair. Just remember the direction you wrapped it when taking it down.

Nonas help me decide on what to do with my hair.
I am tall, have a bit of a wide round face but no babyface, i look my age.
My hair is wavy light cold blonde, around 2A-2B. It is currently to my collar bones. It grows fast, and earlier this year i cut it shoulder length, around 15-20 cm shorter than what it was.
Im playing with the idea of cutting it shorter , like picrel.
Would it work with a round, wide face? i feel really insecure if i dont have alot of framing pieces and bangs over my forehead. I would love to keep it long with hime bangs, but it looks silly on my wavy hair.
Any other styles that would look good on me? I dont have time in the morning to style it. ¨

What's the most low maintenance way to dye my hair? Is it worth the damage/upkeep? I have medium ash brown hair and I'm thinking of getting blonde highlights to match how it looked when I was young. My hair is super healthy, thick and shiny so I don't know if I want to risk damaging it. It also grows like 1-2 inches a month so I can't dye it from the roots. But I want some dimension in it.

I asked this same question about a year ago and I'm still unsure so I'll ask again. I miss my buzzcut/'skinhead girl' haircut I had as a teenager but I don't want to give up my long hair (10+ cm past my shoulders) so I thought of something like picrel as a remedy.
My hair is decently thick and wavy so I'm not too concerned about volume. My main question is will this be a bitch to grow out if I decide I wanna get rid of it without cutting the rest of my hair? Is it impossible to maintain yourself?

also not to discourage you but natural redheads have warm toned skin even if it's pale. red looks kind of off on cool toned skin. but if you have a slightly red tinge to your hair then you're probably more warm toned than you think.

I have no idea how to take care of my hair nonnas. I have 3a-3c type hair, extremely thin and low porosity (very similar to picrel, no shame to the model). I should note that I've lost around 40 to 50% of my hair volume since 2019 and still experience major shed (I use 5% minoxidil nightly to prevent from becoming bald).
My hair is always limp and airy after drying, curls never defined/frizzy, low density, there's no weight to the hair and consistency in texture. Like for example I have two weird bunches of strands at my base that are always awkwardly dry/frizzy and they feel almost gritty to the touch. I have never dyed my hair or bleached it, the most I've ever done is straighten it once or twice in my life. Granted I usually keep it up in a bun most of the time since I stay in the house and only make it look nice for when I have somewhere to go. I've also heavily neglected it for a good decade, which probably is the reason for it looking like a rat's nest. I just want to revive my hair again and be confident wearing it, and not have to plaster it with a bunch of oils and leave-ins that make it look worse. I'm not good at hair science at all nonnas, I really would appreciate any advice.
tldr; I can never have a good hair day and idk what to do to make my hair flow naturally and beautifully like most 2b-3b curly girls.

>>345960I could have written this, your hair sounds exactly like mine. The hairloss turned out to be a combo of a hairdye I was using (manic panic) and stress, once I stopped that it stabilized and massaging my scalp consistently helped. Circulation is huge, massaging and exercise helps. Also a LOT of shampoos and conditioners will cause shedding so Google to see if people complain about that for whatever you use
Best hair care tips I got is to only use conditioner and to only wash it once a week max, ideally maybe every two weeks. That sounds gross but washing your hair everyday is a pretty modern phenomena, that's why in older films you'll see women using shower caps a lot. I can't wash my hair more than that or it literally turns straw textured. I also have the one random patch of gritty hair near my hairline, a hairdresser once told me some people just have a random patch like that, it's almost like a birthmark, nothing you can really do about that.

Do any nonnas with naturally red hair have any experience with dyeing it a fun color? My hair is naturally auburn/coppery and I am so fucking bored of it. I’ve never dyed my hair before but I want to do something fun to it. I was thinking maybe doing subtle pink highlights like picrel but idk if it would look retarded. I want to mostly keep my hair it’s naturally color I just want to add a little something but it’s hard to find anything that doesn’t look weird with red hair.

>>346992i have natural red hair and i tried picrel for fun, it seems like what you're looking for and it comes in a rose colour as well. it's not a dye proper. it's just a mask that adds a bit of a tint to your hair. it's pretty conditioning as well. for me, the copper colour made my hair extra bright red, like almost cartoonish red. it was fun as someone who's always been too scared to mess with her hair.

I have really long hair (past my waist, not quite to my hips yet) how do I keep it looking nice throughout the day? It's platinum (I get on scalp bleach every month or two but it's not overly damaged) I've devolved into wearing it mostly in a ponytail or braid unless I'm going to an event, but I feel like that doesn't look great. I dress fairly well and it's messiness drags my appearance down.
A couple of my main issues
- When I curl it I don't know how to do it in a way that flatters me and that holds the curl in a way that looks intentional
- Whenever I sleep with a guy all my hair turns into a MASSIVE mat. Like all of it. It's so embarrassing especially if I don't bring a brush. I've tried braiding it and it doesn't help much because the hair around my face still mats into a tangled mess. I know dry shampoo makes it much worse.
-any suggestions for how to style my hair on a daily basis would be great, i've tried heatless curlers before bed to some success but my ends come out frizzy most of the time and usually some sections (or even just one side) turn out way better than the other. I've been trying slicked back ponys lately and they look better but it always becomes a mess after an hour.
-A few years ago I had bangs and they've grown out to shoulderish length, but they get very frizzy often and kind of look dumb (to me at least), I've had them texturized into the rest of my hair a couple of times but I've noticed they're the only part of my hair that gets many split ends, is there anything I can do about them?

>>347452Honestly the ends look almost transparent, I think you should get at least a few inches trimmed
nonnie. I also have fine hair and notice when my bangs grow out, they look so frizzy and raggedy. It’s very annoying. Tbh I’m not sure what it is, but the easiest explanation is it’s damage from being styled more frequently than the rest of my hair. I try to trim my bangs more frequently because of that. You could go for some longish curtain bangs to get rid of the damaged parts, they would probably look great with your long hair.
No. 348081
>>347452Gorgeous color! Your hair does look a bit damaged at the ends though, it'll look nicer with a trim of 5-10 cm. To prevent frizz and split ends put a mask of olive oil on it a few hours before washing, for me it was a game changer. If you want to keep your hair long I wouldn't wear it loose all the time, especially because it's dyed. Vidrel is has very pretty and 'safe' hairstyles imo, she also has a similar color to you. You could probably fix it with a trim and some tlc because the body of your hair looks healthy, good luck!
>>347095I think it just depends on your face shape, I prefer middle parts because they look more 'classic' but side parts can look really nice and flattering on others.

Are there any anons here diagnosed with AGA? How do you cope?
I've been fighting androgenic alopecia for 3 years, I lost like half of my hair and I also completely lost the original texture of my hair (typical AGA problem) and it hurts me when people shit on my hair, especially my family and that one petty female coworker. I know my hair isn't pretty but if I actually didn't do anything with it, like people claim, I would still have that bald spot on the top of my head. Healthy people with normal hair have no idea what it's like to be 20 years old and see only your scalp where the hair should be, they don't know how devastating it is, especially for a woman, where society treats hair like one of the decisive factors for female attractiveness. My old hair was beautiful, shiny and low porosity, everyone, even strangers, complimented me on my hair and it was the only thing I truly liked about my body, it was part of my identity. And then I lost it. And it will never be the same.
This shit is impossible to style. No amount of expensive products; oils; pre- and post- washing treatments, masks and conditioners and fucking rosemary water was able to change this texture. My bangs and the hair on my temples is the worst because it's where AGA is the most aggressive and that hair has the least amount of keratin. I felt like I tried it all during those 3 years and I could never change the texture. I only managed to somewhat stop balding and have some regrowth, so you don't see bald spots anymore. It's still a lot and I consider myself lucky because I did it with only topical minoxidil and scalp massages, no oral treatments, no oral hormones, even though my doctor proposed me oral medication. But people only judge what they see and they continue to tell me bullshit about not conditioning my hair enough and other crap, even when I explain to them for the 100th time that I have typical AGA hair texture and that hair follicle miniaturization leads to loss of keratin etc. I got lectured even by a hairdresser, who tried to sell me some products, that's why I don't go to hairdressers anymore, I know I would hear the same bullshit again and again. Most people don't even know what AGA is and how it works to begin with. I've seen some photos from female hair loss reddit and the women with AGA had the exact same problem as me, they complained about the total loss of texture. It's still better to have ugly hair than a bald spot on the top of your head so every day I'm grateful for what I was able to save

I used all kinds of products, expensive professional lines of cosmetics, drugstore ones and "natural" ones too. From the back it doesn't look that bad, but my bangs are kinda like cotton candy glued to my scalp lol they don't have real hair texture to me
I have a slight moustache and you won't see it unless you stand very close to me and the hair is pretty light, but it still worries me because I didn't have it 2 years ago. I think I managed to make it lighter by putting pasta from hydrogen peroxide and baking soda on it. I also have a small trail of hair on my belly and some light hair on my palms, which wasn't there before, those places used to not have visible hair.
I have an irregular cycle but it's weird because for example, in this year, for the first few months of the year it was regular, and since april the cycles got longer and longer. For example, I had the first day of my period on 5th of april, but in august it was 28th day. It's still better than in the past I think because there were times I wouldn't have my period for 2 months

Has anyone tried a styling heat brush like this? Did you like it? I feel like blowout hair makes you look so put together and pretty, but I'm too uncoordinated to do it well myself with a round brush and dryer.

>>350978If you are not aiming for the perfect reproduction of that picture, and don't feel afraid to trying to do just a few highlights on your own, I say go for it.
I did some highlights on my dark brown hair to then dye the bleached highlights in dark blue in spring and it wasn't perfect but it definitely taught me something.
That is if you start with the side of your dominant hand (where it's usually easier), you gotta wait longer for the effect of the bleach/hair dye on the opposite side you did last, even if the box recommends
insert time frame minutes tops. The application when you do it on your own takes longer, because even with a mirror on both sides of your face and behind you, you will take longer than someone doing it for you professionally in a hair salon. And it's better if both sides are equally bleached/dyed so that it looks at least symmetrical somewhat.

I think I have type 3B curly hair. I get one single chunk of hair in the back left of my head where the hair is sorta straight/barely wavy, hella frizzy, sticks out, and just doesnt match at all. Like picrel (not me) but a bigger chunk and it isnt the bottom layer, its like a quarter sized spot of scalp that grows this weird hair appx ear level but behind my head to my left kek.

Sorry if it sounds stupid but I feel like in my case, body needs certain fat reserves to produce healthy hair (and skin). Throughout the years, I noticed that whenever I was going below certain weight, my hair and skin always started to look like shit, I was also losing lots of hair, it didn't matter if I ate healthy, slept well etc. My height is 166 cm and my current weight is 56/57 kg, I know I'm not fat but it's definitely not my dream weight either, but only at that weight my hair and skin look good. Every time I was skinnier, like 50 kg, even though my silhouette looked better, my hair and skin were turning to shit instantly. The same thing happened at 54 kg. I was even 48 kg at one point and I was going bald
kek. I'm afraid I'm trapped with my current weight, I don't want to lose hair, that was my worst problem in the past. The only thing I can do is to excercise in order to look more toned so clothes look better on me, but I have to stay around the same weight I'm now

>>351748The average body mass index for women is between 18,4 and 24,9 after all, nonna. It's normal that if you were under that, the body started prioritizing more vital functions and vital cells with blood flow, oxygen and stem cells (in that case hair) regeneration. Same can be said for people above that body mass index.
Even if you did the basics to help the hair regeneration like scalp massages with argan oil, or take supplements like a three month daily intake of brewer's yeast etc, especially if you want to lose more weight and will probably be under the normal BMI, due to the fact that hair growth/production is not a vital function for the body to keep on going, you have no guarantee your body will continue on the hair regeneration.

This is gonna be a long post since it leads up to my current problem. Sorry for this huge novel.
I've always had a horrible relationship with my hair. It's thick, frizzy, untamable no matter what I do, I hate it. I remember when I was around 14 or 15 I developed an odd scab at the back of my head, right on my hairline, and it didn't go away for a long time. Although I never went to the doctor about it, I eventually noticed that blow drying my hair got rid of it, so I began the damaging path that was blasting my hair with the blow dryer pretty soon after I got out of the shower.
For a long, long time that was my routine. My hair thinned out slightly when I was 18, but it's still very heavy and thick. Eventually a friend told me to try letting my hair air dry for a while and then try blow drying it, to see if that would control the frizz. It helped very slightly. I saw the recommendation that you shouldn't point the blower up/against the grain of your hair, and that didn't really feel like that did anything. Eventually I found out about the curly girl method and switched to some of the recommended products and started using a leave-in conditioner. My hair felt better but because I was still blow drying it after waiting a long time, it was still frizzy. The method said to not wash your hair too frequently, but I worked outside daily at the time so I had to wash it daily. Now I have a new job, and although it's not bullshit outdoor work, I have to wear double hair covers and it's hot as hell in the work area. My scalp can't escape the sweat. Work started really getting to me and I started skipping the blow drying, and noticed my curls were so beautiful and I was really happy. The frizz was still there but at least the curls made it look a little more presentable.
So I kept up with this method for a few months. But maybe a week ago, I noticed my scalp (different location this time - close to the top of my head, but just one patch of it) was so fucking irritated and itchy, but thankfully not flaking. Massaging the area didn't help at all. It's like the individual follicles were on fire. I was going crazy. Then I had a flashback to my neck scab, reincorporated blow drying into my routine, et voila the irritation problem was resolved immediately.
What the hell am I meant to do? The curly girl method recommends you don't use heat. Am I just cursed to have ugly 1200s Celtic witch hair? I went out yesterday and the heat and humidity made my hair frizz up so big I wanted to kill myself. Note that I likely have psoriasis so I think that's what the scab was.
I don't care if my hair is straight or curly, I just don't want frizz anymore…

Has anyone tried this line of products out, specifically the dark blonde one?
I have fried, bleached white hair that needs some time to recover and I’m too poor to go to a salon. I’m naturally a level 7 dirty blonde. I was thinking when my roots start coming in I’ll give it a go. It says that this is specifically designed for people going natural after bleach, because it has a filler colour than a final colour to go over it. I’d like to go back to ultra light blonde when my hair is healthier, and this seems to lift out of hair fairly easily, but I’m really nervous because there aren’t a lot of unbiased/non-spon reviews out there.
Other suggestions welcomed!

>>356490My hair is currently just barely at knee length. I never really had a goal in mind but I feels like I've come so far so I might as well see what the absolute limit is, you know? At this point I'm used to subtle adjustments to my movements to avoid sitting or pulling on it and stuff, and my unusual hair length feels like part of who I am.
My hair is naturally very fine (both lower hair count and small diameter) in general so maybe it's not the most aesthetically pleasing that it's pretty thin, but it's not damaged or raggedy nor am I losing hair. It's just like that at any length and always has been. Because it's seemingly genetic I don't think there's any way to improve it, so I just accept it even though it disappoints me. It does kinda taper off, which could be avoided with a shorter haircut, but I like long hair so I just try to cut it straight and keep my hair growing as long as possible so it's less obvious. Not sure whether I have 1A or 1B hair
I don't do any arduous or weird routine, I just don't use chemical or heat treatments and let it be natural. I don't really style it besides doing a low ponytail or claw clip bun (i find most styles cumbersome/painful). I sleep with a silk bonnet.

>>356655ayrt,
>>356659 is right and there is generally a terminal length. Hair has 3 phases: anagen, catagen, and telogen. Anagen is the active growth phase and the longest one, but the duration will be different from person to person. Catagen is when the hair stops growing and telogen is when it sheds itself. So even if your hair is totally healthy, it still has a lifespan coded into it.
I think a lot of people who say "my hair won't grow past x length" aren't reaching their true max potential and are actually damaging it and causing it to fall/break early, but since your hair is already pretty long it is possible that you just hit your terminal length. I'm not sure there's any way to extend the anagen phase (unless you are correcting a disease that's shortening it), it seems genetic? I just know it's different depending on race but not on sex

>>357537I'm sorry if I didn't phrase it well. Humectants in cosmetology act kind of like a band aid preventing the moisture from evaporating, trapping it there and helping other actives penetrating the skin. It doesn't mean that it will pull all the moisure out from your skin if you're in a dry environment (things I've heard a thousand of times, which is a myth) or if it doesn't have an occlusive on top, it just won't work as well. It also pulls mostly water from your own skin, pulling the moisture from the deeper layers up to the surface. If you click on the references (2)(3) they're from a free online dictionnary and this 'article' (
https://www.allthescience.org/what-is-an-humectant.htm) written by a woman with a 'Literature degree'. We also have to keep in mind that there are a ton of different humectants, working differently depending on its properties or its use (food, cosmetic…)
I'm not articulated enough and this is almost derailing at this point but check out lab muffin beauty science video on the topic if you're interested.
Also I misunderstood when you were mentioning hyaluronic acid on hair, because the trend I've seen lately is using hyaluronic acid serums like the ordinary's directly on your hair as a treatment. I've done a quick search for papers, and it seems hyaluronic acid is always paired with other ingredients such as collagen/peptides/gelatin/minoxidil to test effects on hair strength or hair less.

Should I chop my hair short like into a pixie shag? I look really cute with micro bangs since they make my short forehead look better and hide my tragic hairline. I'm fantasizing about those cute little sideburn bits too, like in my pic.
Just went through a shitty breakup (I had to ghost him since he was so argumentative) and I already have a bob cut, thin white girl hair so it's not like it'll grow out long and pretty anyway. I know short hair is man repellent, especially since my style is already kind of GNC. I wear cargo pants and vans every day.
I also have horrible dandruff/scalp psoriasis, I use medicated shampoo for it but its been driving me insane lately with the weather changing. I have one of these things too
>>356619 but the little nubs just seem to fucking pull my hair.
I'm just scared because the last time I went pixie short I was like 18/19 and now I'm 34 and afraid it'll make me look stodgy, matronly and old since I don't have that youth halo anymore. But on the flip side, I had a literal moon face back then and now I have actual cheekbones and a strong jaw. My face is definitely more wide than long, I have the opposite of a horse face and a small nose.
I don't make big decisions during PMS but this seemed like the right thread to post in.

Girlies the rosemary water is really working! I massage my scalp with
>>356619 and then spray it on my head in the morning and night. I’m doing that for ca one month now and I can see so many regrowth, it looks like literally I’m getting double the amount of hairs now. Tbf my hair was not so full so it’s probably just a normal healthy amount of hair on my head now. It makes my hair greasy tho but for me it’s worth it.

>>359734My hair shed so badly, like fistfuls in the shower, until it was about half its thickness in my early-mid 20s. I did get diagnosed with vitamin deficiencies but the dr also said it could be from a natural hormonal shift due to aging. You say it's severe but are you showing signs of actual balding? For women it most often starts at the top of the scalp and diffuses outwards, if it's a general thinning you're going to be fine. Dealing with it is hard, I used to get nightmares that I would end up with a bald spot but the shedding did eventually stop after around 2 years. I really empathize with you, the sooner you get a blood test done the sooner you can come to terms with whatever is happening to you. It was hard going from fine but thick hair to fine, frizzy thin hair but keeping it healthy and styling in a flattering way made it much easier to accept. Keep us updated.

No. 360478
>>360459I think it can be really flattering for shortening and slimming the face if that's something desirable, maybe not if you have a short forehead or narrow face to begin with
Modifying it is an option too, I have something of a pseudo hime cut. I feel like the bluntness is too harsh on me so I cut it to be more tapered with slightly sideswept bangs, and I have 2 short side layers (one that ends at the cheeks and one around the collarbone) instead of just one.
I feel like I pretty much hit the perfect hairstyle for my face so I've kept it for a long time, it helps soften how my forehead and jaw can look kinda big at certain angles. Another plus is that if I tie my hair back I still have a short layer in front of my face so I don't look as bald from the front

Sorry for being a weeb in advance.
I want to get kind of Lain hair where there are two long bits in the front and shorter hair in the back, basically a reverse hime cut.
But I can't find any real life examples of that kind of hair cut, and I don't want to be a total sperg and give the hairdresser an anime picture. So could any helpful nonna give me a picture or some keywords to find a real life pic of the haircut I'm describing?

Any advice for getting hair accessories to stay in thin, fine straight hair? I want to have more fun with clips and barrettes but I have slippery smooth hair with no grip to it so even lightweight clips slide right off. Tried some hairspray but it took a disgusting clumpy amount to be effective, not sure if I just need to try another brand?
I saw someone suggest spraying aquarium sealant to clips to make them more grippy and it sounds like some 5-minute crafts type nonsense but at this point I'm genuinely considering trying.

>>361238I have the same hair texture I think, and I also struggle with accessories staying in place. What works for me is salt texturizing spray and dry shampoo. Look for sprays that are just distilled water and salt, and avoid dry shampoos that have silicone or things like that because it'll just make your hair slippery again.
You can put the aquarium sealant on some clips you aren't afraid of ruining to try it out (or any clear silicone that comes in a tube really, like caulk or whatever). You can also apply silicone to the end of clips like these
>>361244 to close up that little slit that always grabs strands. I've heard you can put clear nail polish on them too but since it isn't flexible it just flakes off after a few snaps.

my hair is 2b/c i think but if i don't define my curls when it dries it just gets slightly wavy and like fluffy (wich is better than before tbh)
would using hair curlers work for defining natural curls to replace finger coiling? i love the way finger coiling makes my hair look but my hair is short and it still takes my like an hour and a half or something

I have greasy hair and I rarely put a lot of stuff on my hair because the natural oil production of my scalp is definitely enough to maintain good hair health. But I do a clay mask every six months or so, I got ingredients from a DIY healthcare products shop that last me a long while. And tonight's the night to do some self care.
Picrel is my DIY clay mask (which I got from the shop's website) with Multani mitti dry clay powder, stinging nettle powder and nagarmotha powder mixed with boiling water. I'm waiting for it to cool down before applying it on my head and then I'll let it sit 10-20 minutes, then rince it off.
No. 365636
>>365623I rinsed off the mask with water and some white vinegar. I'm going to let my hair dry naturally during the night (cuz that way I can give feedback without damaging my hair with hot air from the blow dryer) and let you know then

Is it possible to get a true black color from semi permanent dye? I tried using some on my medium brown hair and there was almost no difference. I know I could just use permanent, but I don't want to commit to more than six months or so.

>>365658So I took a picture of the dried hair after waking up. Left side on picrel I ran my fingers through my hair to get rid of knots, right is my natural hair (but I can't ever go out with them because they're a tangled mess).
My scalp and hair feel nice, I don't feel the need to scratch my head. I have a weird combo of greasy hair and dandruff, the Multani Mutti helps to appease the itchy scalp feeling, the stinging nettle powder and Nagarmotha help with the dandruff and regulates the amount of sebum production.
If you have the same issues as me
nonny, and can get your hands on Nagarmotha with Multani Mitti, you can also use Multani Mutti and the Nagarmotha for face masks if you have also oily skin (like I do), which is kind of a win win to me.
My hair feels maybe drier than usual but clay does that. I brushed my hair after the picture and the wavy nature is still there and I still have a lot of volume.
I wouldn't recommend doing the clay mask every week, unless you work in a kitchen or a place with a lot of oil/fat in the air, but for greasy hair problem once every two months should be fine.

>>366152reminds me of when I dyed all my hair 1 single time as a teenager and my mom wouldn't let me dye again so after it grew out there was just an abrupt change in color towards the end kek. but probably a dip dye like the other anon said
>>366155I have hair that gets oily after a day and I have tried "training" it (a long-term serious effort during quarantine), sulfate-free, silicone-free, boar bristle brushing, various dry shampoos, cowashing, "shampoo twice and then it won't be as oily later" (??), probably a bunch of other gimmicks and tricks.
At the end of the day, my hair still looks and feels best if I just wash it every day. Idc if people say "waahhh you're damaging it" anymore because I can't be doing that bad if my hair is as long as it is, and it inevitably and blatantly seems way worse if I try any sort of workaround. I'm not saying all those strategies are worthless, some people do find that something magically lets them extend washes by days, but if truly nothing works it might be better to just accept that some people just make more oil and that's normal, it's not always something you can or necessarily have to fix.
