Boar bristle brush PSA: pretty much all of the cheap, widely available brushes, even the ones advertised as having "100% boar bristles" actually have mostly nylon bristles cut to resemble boar bristles, with only a small amount of real boar. I suspect it's because nylon is cheaper and bristles made of it do a better job of detangling hair than ones made of boar (if it feels more like you're grooming a horse's mane than pulling something rigid through your hair, then you probably have the genuine article). Cheap boar bristle brushes also have terrible build quality and shed a lot, so you really have to read reviews and be willing to pay more to not get scammed if 100% boar is what you want. It's like that here in burgerland, not sure about other places.

is it possible to further lighten hair I already darkened? I had a faded red color then dyed it black. I’ve washed it and it’s been a couple months now and it’s lightened but I want it to be even lighter without bleaching it. Do I just keep washing more often? Use purple shampoo? How do I get more of the black dye out?

So I really want to dye my hair but I've gotten stuck on whether I want a flattering color or something funky regardless of being flattering. I have light medium skin, with olive yellow undertones. I kinda look sickly green a lot of the time. My natural hair is deep dark brown and I have brown eyes. I was thinking of something lie pic rel but it would probably make me look even more sallow. In the past, I had jet black hair that looked harsh and awful. Literally drained all of the color from my face. Green, magenta and purple were my best colors imo.

I'd stick with flattering. I have olive undertones too and I've noticed wearing the wrong colors can make me look extremely sick rather than just being kinda 'meh'. It's such a tricky undertone to get right and it kinda sucks the joy out of doing something funky when it makes you look awful kek. Maybe try pink or purple hair?

No. 371390

Yeah, you describe it perfectly. Off colors don't just look bad, it goes straight to jaundiced. I never used to care, and I've had all of the colors of the rainbow but I think I want to look healthy for once kek. Pink and purple are good ideas, but I don't want to bleach my hair. It's finally long and somewhat healthy.

Try using one of the hair color filters in apps. I was gonna go blond but figured dark brown looked better using those softwares and went with brown instead. You can't guess how it looks unless you can photoshop a color or try a wig and even then it's hard to get that exact tone with dye.

Sageblog but I dye my hair with that color. It doesn't get brighter like that, but it gives you a cool cooper reddish brown. I have your same skin tone, except I don't look sickly green.

I would use an app to change your hair color, but remember that the color changes with natural or artificial color, so the result might vary in that sense as well.

I have fairly curly haor I have been working on (for years) keeping healthy and growing it out. Its in pretty good shape. I flat ironed it for the first time in maybe 2 years the other day, because I botched my at home layers trim and wanted to even it out which is easier on straight hair. Fixed the layers and had long straight hair for a couple days. I washed it and then used a deep conditioner. But after washing and conditioning it, it dries with straight ends. Ive never had this happen before, and I used to straighten my hair quite frequently in a past life. It doesnt seem damaged,no splits or weakness. Washed it again and same thing! What is happening? Like someone used a curling iron but left the last 6 inches out of the iron so it's straight.

My scalp is CONSTANTLY itchy. I can’t take it anymore. I’ll scratch until my scalp bleeds.
Only washing it fixes it but I can’t wash it that often. It’s thick and curly so it becomes like sticks if I wash it more than twice a week.

I’ve tried changing shampoos, idk what to do. I do get dandruff but it’s not that bad, I think it’s a normal amount. I think the itching started around a year ago?

Has anyone had this problem? What can I do?

I have an itchy scalp and the only thing that's been able to reduce the itching is using clarifying shampoos with tea tree oil.

lame answer but you could consider seeing a dermatologist, if it's that severe you might have a skin condition that would need medical help. There are several issues that can cause intense itching and they'd benefit most from prescription products rather than cosmetic/OTC products

I second with>>372389. Everyone else has good recommendations but don't try a bunch of random things on your scalp if it might actually be something requiring medication.

I have seborrheic dermatitis and it took me forever to recognize what it was. My face usually has small patches so I never thought it could get worse than that. During a really intense stressful time of my life I had an intense sb breakout and all of a sudden my scalp was the same. It scabbed and itched like fucking crazy, it was also embarrassing shedding everywhere. I tried so many products and absolutely nothing help and some just made it worse. I'm not entirely sure what helped my scalp return to normal but a pharmacist gave me steroid cream for my face and after 2 weeks of using it my scalp seemed to clear too. SB is a fungal thing technically, so maybe my face was a trigger. See a dermatologist!!

I shampoo my hair twice a session, 3 times a week and while it's shampooed I use a wide teeth comb like picrel to scratch my scalp. I had the same problem and replacing just using my fingers with combs helped me a lot especially when I wash it twice. Don't comb your hair or anything, mine gets super tangled when I comb it while shampooed, but I stick this in my hair and scratch my scalp, take it out and move it to the next part and so on. This got rid of the itch completely for me. Hope this helps, sorry if this was common knowledge that everyone does.

Depends. If one side is light and the other is a color prone to bleeding (like some pinks or reds can be awful for that) it's hard to keep them seperate, but if you check the reviews of the dye you're using before hand it should be okay.

Apologies for potential a-log.
Nonnas, please tell me if there is a way to fix this male baldness pattern type of shit.
I had this type of empty space since forever, which is inherited from my father. At least he still has hair in his 50's and last year got his first grey hair so I don't worry as much for now.
I fucking hate my hair to the point of wanting to go bald but oh wait, this shit string grows at the speed of a snail so I will look like an oompa loompa for the next 3 - 5 years. And I got the worst of all worlds - curly, frizzy, fine and almost non-existent volume hair. I met more grandmas with healthier hair than mine and I'm 24 for fuck's sake, my hair looks like a fucking broom with no shape.
I tried castor and rosemary oil everytime I'm about to wash my hair to see almost no results for almost a year. Doesn't help that my iron levels are fine when I do the treatment for a month and afterwards it goes back to abysmal levels.

I'm cursed with AGA myself, if your hairline looks like the left it looks great, I'd kill for mine to look like that, it looks similar to picrel ob both sides now and it's not slowing down
how old are you? my honest advice is to go to a good endocrinologist, get ALL the hormonal shit tested, androgens, DHT, thyroid hormones, iron, vit D and if the doc confirms it's AGA your best bet is going to be spiro+minox especially. If it's PCOS it won't nearly as bad as with AGA.
for myself idk if there's anything I can do to undo the damage, I just want my hair not to fall so much and for that fucking pattern to not advance more. I'm mid 30s and the hairloss skyrocketed in the last 3 years, my hairline wasn't that bad in 2019 and I still had a lot of hair.
>>373606
go to another doc, my endocrinologist specifically told me you can have regular periods, hell, your ovaries can even look fine (no cysts) but your body can still act like you have PCOS, you need to take some blood tests
best case scenario is u only got some vitamin deficiencies/gut issues that can be fixed via diet/supplements

I have been to 4 docs in the past year and they all told me "welcome to women's world" when I told them about my severe period pain (all women btw).

Never went back
My periods are regular 90% of the time (and when they aren't, it's because of external stuff like meds) and I am a poster child for PCOS. If you can, get a better doctor. Many doctors, especially older ones, think PCOS is a womb-only thing, when it's actually a metabolic syndrome. Exactly what this anon said >>373607

Has anyone here experienced hair loss at the center area of the hairline?
My hair is very long and it's always been thick and voluminous, except over the past year or so I've noticed that it's been thinning specifically in the area right at the center front of my hair. It's only really noticeable when my hair is tied back, there's just way more of my scalp visible there than there used to be. I kind of ignored it up until my friend mentioned it and told me she noticed that my hair in the front and up top had become a lot thinner.
The thing is, I'm in my mid 20s, healthy weight, varied diet, not particularly more stressed than a few years back and no hormonal birth control or irregularities that I know of. Hair loss doesn't run in my family at all. I wear my hair down most of the time so I don't think it could be traction alopecia or anything either. I never dyed it or used heat on it. My friend recommended a dermatologist who helped her but that's going to cost me way more money than I can spend right now, and Google isn't helping much so I'm hoping to get some nonnas perspective.

I'm the OP. My hair is like this naturally. I only use shampoo and conditioner (sometimes). It's straight and whenever I finish a shower I brush it so it won't get tangled. It's a LITTLE bit frizzy, only at the top. But it's not that noticable. It used to be curlier when I was younger but around puberty it changed shape, same happened with my sisters. I use picrel.

It looks good the first days but it can look flat sometimes. I'd like it to be a bit more wavy. Do you have any more advice to make it wavy aside from using a flat iron?

Yes, that’s female pattern baldness. It will progress unless you’re one of the lucky majority that responds to treatment.

If you used permanent dye, get Color Oops or any of the similar color removers on the market. It works really well, but you absolutely have to rub it thoroughly into your hair and rinse while rubbing for at least 30 minutes. It reverses the dyeing process but the dye molecules are removed by mechanical agitation. Meaning - follow the instructions and really rinse the shit out of your hair.

The method I used was crushing vitamin c tablets and mixing it with head and shoulders shampoo and then I would sit out in the sun for an hour. I did this once a week for a month and it lightened from black to a darkish burgundy color (?) not sure why cause I never previously dyed it but it was something at least.

Another thinning receding hairline anon checking in. My hair has always been frizzy and brittle, I could live with that but I'm in my 30's now and the thinning has made it look absolutely hideous. I can't use minoxidil since I can only find it in ethanol where I live, and while it worked really well for hair growth, it eventually irritated my scalp to a degree where it looked like psoriasis and obviously undid all the progress. Hormones are all normal, it could be low iron since my ferritin is on the lower end but honestly I'm not sure I have a lot of hope of fixing it.

Anyway, I use volumizing mousse and hair fibers, and shade my scalp a bit which works alright. I keep my hair pretty short so it'll at least fluff up. I was wondering though if you guys know any ways to style slightly longer hair that might work instead of just accepting a grandma cut forever? I think stuff like braid crowns could look pretty nice with my face shape, I have a wide jaw too (fml) so to balance it out I want to keep most of the volume above my ears if that makes sense. But my temples honestly look so bald, I don't know how to make it work or what other styles could be worth trying. Pls post any styling advice you have nonnas I'm desperate.

I have thick bangs that have randomly been really prone to being greasy for the past year and if I shower in the morning it becomes greasy in the evening. No shampoo and conditioner helps here in the states and I saw that Asian hair care is good quality. I believe I'm going to try ichikami oil control shampoo unless a nonna has better suggestions. My hair is very straight with ever so slightly waves. As well as I believe it's coming from my scalp since it's most greasy there then what touches my forehead.

How did your hair turn out nonna? I´m using store bought oils, one from Fable & Mane and one from Yves Rocher (eurofags probably know).
I finally tried the porosity water glass test today but I´m not sure? At first the hair stayed on the surface for probabyl 5 minutes until I pushed it under the surface and then it very slowly sunk. So is it low or high porosity kek I have no curls btw.

No. 377707

Pick an oil based on your hair type. My hair is super thin and fine and using olive, coconut or shea makes my hair super greasy and brittle, so I stick to thin oils like jojoba or argan. If you've got thicker, dry hair, then go for thicker oils. Imo doing a regular oil treatment that suits your hair is the most important thing, mixing different oils won't change your results too much but it can be fun to make your little concoction.
>>377565
The porosity water test is not reliable. Go from your own experience : if your hair takes a lot of time to dry, to get fully wet, and doesn't seem to take moisture in easily, it's probably low po. If you're the opposite, and your hair tend to absorb moisture, but then gets frizzy and dry after some time, you may be high po. If you've bleached your hair, treat it as high po too. There's also medium porosity which is normal, balanced hair, so maybe you don't even have to ask yourself that question. Also be careful of yves rocher oils, they're advertised as jojoba, argan, etc., but they're all mostly scented sunflower seed oil. You'd better go with a 100% pure oil that you can find in a pharmacy, some are not even that expensive, or if you're broke just buy sunflower oil at the supermarket but don't get scammed

I think just brushing it and leaving it to its nature is enough. But if you wanna go fancy, hair clips seem like a good option for this style if you have bangs, either put them on one side and clip them, or split them in half and clip each to one side.

My hair has developed some kind of sticky film on it and I'm bordering on panicking. It's been like this for a week, I woke up some day last week and my hair was sticky. I was really confused but I assumed I just didn't wash out the shampoo and conditioner enough so I tried to wash my hair extra good that night but when I ran my hand through or over top of my hair there was this rubbery sound, like a fucking tire. I was SO confused, there was like a film on my hair making it feel all rubbery. I spent like an hour in the shower before getting out because I gave up. The next morning it was okay, still not as soft as my hair used to be but I was just thankful it wasn't sticky to touch. But again in the shower it felt rubbery. Then I chalked it up to maybe it having to do something with my hair dryer, because coincidentally the day my hair was sticky was ths day I started to use a hair dryer to dry my hair instead of letting it air dry. I'm afraid to stop using the hair dryer because I'm afraid of my hair going back to the sticky state, it's as though drying my hair with heat combats it. I also really want my hair to go back to normal, though. What do I do?? I'll be thankful for any information on what's going on with my hair.

hair is dead protein so i make sure it has less chance of breakage by eating the right foods like eggs/fruit/meat/veg (calorie (protein) restriction will thin the hair so i don't diet), and then put it up into protective styles as i wait for it to grow half an inch every month (the fastest hair will grow is 6"/15cm a year so it's just a waiting game + breakage prevention). before washing i brush it with olive oil so it passes through the brush without catching, i use conditioning masks and hair oil so it remains smooth and doesn't tangle. and if i blowdry i use protective spray and the coldest/luke warm setting. it's at the top of my thigh now and continuing to grow well. according to chemical and physical behavior of human hair by clarence r. robbins, hair generally grows to a max of 3ft. i also read that dyes may contribute to weakening hair and causing hair splits (when the hair splits as far as 4cm up from the end) leading to breakage, but it would not affect the anagen phase (hair growth).

fr when i started embracing my curls my hair routine went from wash -> air dry to a multi-step routine + diffusing lmao i’ve never been higher maintenance in my life

that being said i’ve found that the cut that works best for me without having to do my whole hair routine (but still looks good when i do) falls about an inch below my collar bone with medium-length layers on top, hitting between my earlobes to about an inch below my jaw. it gives me decent movement and volume while still allowing for more elaborate updos and air dries pretty long with waves and a few ringlets (for reference, when i diffuse at this length the shrinkage ends up leaving my hair around shoulder length)

of course this is all dependent on hair texture, density, and curl type. i have very very fine hair, medium density, low porosity, with big s-waves and loose-to-medium ringlets depending on what part of my head you’re looking at, so if you have a drastically different hair type take this with a grain of salt! if you are ever interested in doing a more elaborate styling routine though i have found some really lovely budget products i swear by that i’d be happy to yap about as someone who has spent most of her life refusing to do anything more than air-dry with no product

Your hair type sounds very similar to mine and I have given up on styling products because most of them are way too heavy, so I'm interested in hearing about the ones that work for you.

What results can I expect if I mix MM Vampire Red with volume 20 developer? It's going to be my first time going for an unnatural color like this and I don't want to go overboard and fry my hair but I also don't want to end up with a burgundy brown instead of a more vivid color. My natural hair color is roughly like picrel. I've only used box dyes before.

are you bleaching beforehand? if you do you'll get that neon red (speaking from experience, i used vampire red on bleach yellow hair all through high school kek) but if you put it on your natural color it will end up closer to picrel, maybe slightly brighter since that's a fairly light brown. Also you don't need to mix developer into it, that won't do anything. manic panic is actually pretty kind to your hair and I've never felt any damage after using it, it's the bleach that'll fry you if you use a high volume or leave it on too long.

I get a lot of compliments on my hair color, and my natural hair is darker than your picrel. Since my hair hasn't been dyed before I just bought schwartzkopf Vintage Red and slapped it on my hair and it lightened about a level or two and my hair is now a dark burgundy that looks EXTREMELY red in direct light. I use vampire red in my conditioner and it helps maintain how vibrant it is. If your hair is the color of picrel, you could prob get away with slapping a bright red permanent dye on that bad boy, and it will look even more red than my hair.

Sorry if I'm being dumb, but did you mean Manic Panic Vampire Red? Don't mix that with a developer. The developer will just dilute it, it's a direct dye not meant to be activated.

I fucked up cutting my own hair, and I had to go to a hair salon which I never do. Ended up with a haircut like in picrel but with short bangs. I hate it, and I feel like my whole identity is in shambles now kek. I don't even want to outside now, partly because how short the hair is and partly because styling this haircut is such a pain in the ass. With long hair you can just brush it and go, but with this cut I have to straighten it and use hair wax to look decent. Bought some hair vitamins in the hopes of making my hair grow faster, doubt they will work though lol.

I once asked for a short hairstyle that went down to my chin all around (I had a pic) and ended up with a style similar to your pic, I was so devastated. I didn't want to look in the mirror at all for weeks.
>styling this haircut is such a pain in the ass. With long hair you can just brush it and go
As someone who's had both waist length and super short hair I always tell women short hair is harder and takes more work, but people don't believe me and still make the mistake of cutting it short because they think it's "easier". No you HAVE to style it every day or it's gonna look like shit, you also lose the natural femininity that comes with long hair so people treat you worse if you don't look put together at all times. Women just don't get away with rolling out of bed and having a badly combed over bald spot like men do. Long hair I could just leave in a braid for days and people would compliment me on how cute it looked, or like you said brush for 1 min and then it looked great. After my bad haircut I decided to grow my hair really long so I didn't cut it for years, I'll never get a short hair cut again.

Nonnas, I have a face like picrel and I know it's awful. I've been thinking if I maybe style myself a little better I might not feel like such an ugly duckling. Right now I have a fringe and long plain hair that I pin up or braid sometimes, and I'm not sure if it makes my nose stick out more. Are there any hairstyles anyone could recommend that might minimise my giant honker? Thanks nonas.

AYRT, god this is all so true. I want to cover all the mirrors in my house and hide. And I'm also noticing the different treatment, I used to be cute-ish and ppl were mostly nice to me, now I get weird looks for looking like an aunt. Feels like I've aged 10 years.

Thank you anons, I'm very new to this stuff. In this case I think I'll use a low volume developer to lift my hair and when it's done apply Manic Panic.
>>391956
I did that once before and the end result was a burgundy brown like picrel >>391944 and I wanna go brighter this time. I use a natural no poo shampoo and I only have to wash my hair once a week thanks to it so I think the dye will not wash out too quick.

weird, I have a hairstyle like this and get complimented on it constantly, even though i just do it by blindly clipping away at it with thinning shears kek. Maybe it's because I don't have the "middle aged mom" highlights and just stick with my natural mousey brown color. I guess also my glasses give it a different vibe. I'm ugly so I used to never get compliments on anything, but since cutting my hair a couple years back, people are always telling me how cute my hair style is.

Anyway, why don't you try styling it like this? I think it can look cute and retro.

I feel like bangs will emphasize the nose in general, especially blunt thick bangs. Just pin your bang up and see if you like yourself better that way. Having nice, healthy hair is what's most important in my opinion and can elevate your look. Adding volume and curls can also help make the face and its features a bit smaller, but honestly you can't totally detract from your nose. The best way would be to act like Rossy de Palma, that is not giving a fuck and feeling yourself as if you were a painting. She did wear bangs and looked cool either way, so embrace your witchself and go all out with whatever style makes you happy.

Same experience. Ever since I cut my hair short (and myself too so they're not perfect, but my hair is curly so I can get away with it), I keep getting compliments from girls. When I don't want to style it, I wear hair bands and other accessories and it works out. The constant trimming to keep the shape is annoying though.

nta but I have a fairly chunky nose. I recently got some subtle, airy side bangs and I feel like it actually makes my nose look less prominent compared to when I had a completely bare forehead. I think it's because of the volume, most of my forehead is still visible and instead of sitting flat, there's some airiness where my bangs are sticking out a bit. This way, there's some added dimension that balances out my nose. It sticks out less because it's not the only point of forward projection on my face anymore.
That being said I do also have a fairly strong jaw/chin, maybe if you have a receded chin airy bangs would make the lack of volume in the lower half of your face more obvious, idk. Of course, either way >>392069 should wear whatever she likes, I used to have blunt thick bangs years ago and even though they weren't flattering my face I loved them a lot.

Some people just look better with short hair. It's more work styling but if you trim your own hair between appointments it's not that bad. My mom keeps nagging me to visit the hairstylist but since I've moved to America I haven't found anyone that can do a good job on my curly hair. Last appointment I booked was going to cost me a total of $300. It's insane and I'm cutting my own hair again.

I hate the sleek, clean, defined curls trend. Lately I've been giving myself picrel (but bigger) with the blowdryer and I love it. It's so soft and fluffy and I'm addicted to playing with it. I don't need to stress about humidity because it's already ruined. Don't need to sleep in a cap to protect it. I just tie it back whenever I need to leave the house and I'm done.

Nonnies what do you think of “natural” blonde highlights like this? I have long darkish-brown hair and I was thinking of getting something like this done for the spring/summer, but it would be expensive, so I wanna be sure it’ll suit me. However, I’m not sure about the vibe it gives off. I’m from the southern US and there’s a certain style here of white women (like myself) dying their hair blonde, like the “southern belle” style that I don’t really like. I’m a bit masc and mostly date other women if that helps describe the image I want to reflect

anon I also live in the south and 100% associate these highlights with the vineyard vines white claw sorority girl type tbh. but of course it all depends on the rest of your style, I'm sure it will look good irl and people won't make that association if you don't dress like that

My hair is naturally dark brown, but I recently natural highlights that are brassy yellow next to my natural color. I like having lighter hair, but warm tones aren't flattering on me.
Should I try a blue toner in attempt to make the highlights cooler (example: Glaze Super Color Conditioning Gloss, Vanilla Lights)? Or would it be better to dye my whole head a cool brown shade to cover everything (Any product recommendations)?
The answer is probably obvious but I'm clueless about hair, any advice would help so I don't look totally awful on vacation

Late but I have knee-length hair and I don't do any weird gimmick stuff. I just use a lot of conditioner, sleep with a cap, and keep it tied up in a bun most of the time. I'm inclined to say that you should probably not dye it so much?
sadly although my hair is very long, my whole family has genetically thin hair and low hair count so although I'd also love braids like picrel, my hair isn't thick enough even for one of her braids…

How long is too long? I've been growing my hair out of laziness, now it's almost at my waist. I thought about letting it grow longer and selling it. But I can't help but feel like it's too long. It's not nearly as long as picrel, but that's how I feel like. I usually braid it or tie it up, but sometimes I let it loose and I feel weirded out by it. What would you say it's the limit for long hair?

I love long hair nonita and regretted cutting my waist length hair to a fuck ass bob kek. But I agree with >>394668 I have a friend that has really long hair, I think it’s almost to the back of her knees but it grows to a point the end strands look stringy since it isn’t a straight across cut. I think it can go into little house on the prairie/amish looking after it gets longer than that. Also, nona do you have thick hair or bit on the thinner side?

For me hip is perfect, with classic being the absolute longest I'm willing to get to. I've had it down to my fingertips before and that was a whole ass workout, it was so inconvenient and it didn't look great.

>I think it’s almost to the back of her knees but it grows to a point the end strands look stringy since it isn’t a straight across cut
This makes a huge difference too, it's night and day when you have stringy hair that just grew through neglect and when you have a nice haircut.
>I love long hair nonita and regretted cutting my waist length hair

Many hairdressers just half-ass anything short. I have asked for a variety of short haircuts in my life and every time ended up looking like this until not even a couple years ago.

It's cringe but I'm a high twintail supremacist. From the ages of 12 to 23 anytime my hair was long enough I tied it in twintails. I have thick curly hair which needs to be layered a lot, so they look quite big and fluffy without teasing, and somehow it happens to be the most flattering hairstyle on me (along with the shoulder length 70s nonsense shag that I currently have because I started an agriculture job and wanted something easier to maintain… I showed up with my stupid twintails on the first day of work though)

It keeps your head cool in summer and you can lay down without being bothered by a ponytail, it also weighs a lot less so no headaches, and you don't need a fuckton of bobby pins to keep your top layers from escaping the tie, it all stays put all day long. I had to style my bangs every day though which could be a downside for someone else but I have to do it with every other hairstyle anyway due to my hair texture, so it didn't change much. Minimal hassle for maximal swag. The only real problem is that men consider twintails to be a sexual thing and a shady guy tried to scout me to do porn once. Shayna wishes she was me

I have a looot of straight long hair and my fringe is naturally bobby for some reason. I mostly keep a hairstyle like picrel and sometimes i avoid curling my hair just for safety, i like when they are wavy but it's not like they last much either.
I like it because it keeps my hair out of my way without wearing ponytails or braids for a whole day, somehow i get to feel too cold and get headaches when i do that.
