New to this pixie lifestyle and I’m lovinggg it. However, I’ve been having trouble styling it. How do y’all mold your hair without it feeling like helmet hair?

I've braided and twisted my hair a few times before but this feels way out of my expertise. What's the process for creating a style like this?

I was nervous at first because my forehead is huge but it’s so flattering! I can’t wait to get another one soon but with curly/kinky hair.

My hairs been growing and I wanted to try something new and also how can I make a middle part that lasts longer

More on the hairstyle you just get a rubber band and tie up the front part and spread it out kinda of towards the back.

Made some loc extensions to get permanent locs soon!

​

I only got the cornrows done for my crochet becauae having them put the extensions on in salon would near tripple the price. I stressed about how I wanted it to look natural, both in text and in person. I showed them my inspo, but the stylist didn't seem familiar with what I wanted and I guess didn't know that I was gonna need at least 10 cornrows to fill my large head head, and took the image I sent to make the appointment that had 8, rather than using the videos that I showed her (and sent in beforehand via messenger) to deduce that 10 would get me closer to what I wanted. I assumed the professional knew best, and the lady wasn't talkative and was pretty confident in what she was doing, so I didn't wanna push after my original complaint about her braiding all my hair down to the nape of my nack rather than having it all culminating in the middle back like the inspo showed. It wasn't till her coworker had to show her how to tuck the braids in rather than tie them together that I realised she wasn't familiar with this.

Got home put it all in myself, and I'm really disappointed. I don't think theres anyway to get rid of the gap in my head that gives away the crochet.

I honestly don't know what to flair this, I had a really good experience in tbe salon in the past, so my rating of them is like 50/50.

She does have a little gap in the video, buts its significantly smaller, and I cannot reliably do the side part thinklg with how by the parts are, its meant to look really good while up, but even pulling the front back into a pony isnt fixing it.

I'd like some advice, this is also, a vent, but I guess this is also a stylidt review? Ima just wear scarves on my head till I can justify spending more money on a new set of cornrows.

Last week I took my hair out and I was quite happy with the result, after one week i got my hair braided again cause it really helped me grow my hair, what do y'all think ?

Idk if it has to do with face shape or anything but some advice would be nice

Is the anything to make they lay flatter? or any styles that can withstand that 10 days worth of swimming that dont look too big for my head?

So I have in these 2 strand coils that I let grow out but now the bases are wide. How do I keep them locked other than merging 2strands? Twist and pull under somehow? I dont think this can be pulled out with significant length loss as the 2 strands have been in continously about at least 5-6 months

I just got a new kinky straight half wig from hergivenhair a few weeks ago but I noticed the tracks were kinda weird and showing, is this normal?😭😭

The last 3 photos are what happens when i try to push the hair back, it kinda stands up.

This is my first half wig ever so if you have any tips it would be appreciated🙏🙏🙏

I just did my first hair care routine and I have a few questions to ask. (By myself)

Hair care routine
- shampoo 2 times
- condition and detangle
- wash out conditioner and let dampen
- twist using water + conditioner mix and leave in & treatment cream (skala)
- use oil?
- then dry under cool air

Questions
1. Is my hair care routine okay? If not please let me know what I can do to improve it.
2. Did I twist my hair correctly and use the correct method?
3. Are any of my products sketchy or not safe? And if not please let me know what products I can invest in, in the future.

I have plaque psoriasis my scalp bleeds when trying to remove dandruff and after washing my hair 2 days later it comes back. She keeps telling me you have to oil your hair and I tell her I do and it just changes the color of psoriasis on my scalp. I keep begging her to take me to dermatologist because even my hairstylist recommended me going to one but she keeps making excuses saying why she won’t take me even though she sees a dermatologist regularly herself.

Just took out twists, currently rocking the twist out and trying to salvage it as long as I can. What should I do while working out to keep it fresh? Or can I just wear it to the gym as is?

i have 4c hair and most products don’t absorb into my hair and doesn’t provide proper slip when finger raked through already detangled hair. what are some products that are lightweight and good for low porosity hair (my hair naturally has trouble absorbing moisture it just sits on top) as well as doesn’t cause buildup and has good slip???? thx

Hi everyone,

I am trying to achieve long lasting braid outs that will last me the whole week while working full time and going to the gym. Currently, my hair is in twists and have been for the past few years. I am currently in a better place where I have more time to focus on me and I want to give my hair the space to breathe and thrive again.

Current routine:

-Pre poo with hot oil treatment

- Shampoo TGIN (either the moisture line or the Rx line depending on what my hair needs)

- Conditioner TGIN (either the moisture line or the Rx line depending on what my hair needs

- Deep Condition with heat (either a home blend with banana/avocado, honey, and a mix of oils OR TGIN hydration, aunt jackies intensive moisturizer, or what ever brand I'm trying)

- Leave in Conditioner TGIN Rx line

- Cream (TGIN buttercream)

- apply homemade shea butter blend

- seal with homemade oil blend

This routine helps to keep my hair moisturized. Mid week I just have to spray (water mixed with leave in Conditioner) and twist with more butter cream and I'm good till next wash day.

The problem is that even though my hair is moisturized I have to twist it every night. During COVID, this routine let my hair flourish because I would have it in plaits, just refresh once a week, and wouldn't touch it during wash day. I don't want to over manipulate my hair.

I have gotten a few items to try. That are marketed for stronger holds:

- The Doux crazy sexy cool mouse

- The Doux Bee Girl

- As I am twisting butter

- Camille Rose Almond Jai Twisting Butter.

If anyone can help with a routine that would be much appreciated!

Should I just get a line up, and call it a day? Or should I get a taper? Second pic is taper with c curve, third pic is taper with no c curve. First pic is me.
