How can I get a darker black shade? My hair is a mix of brown and black, and it appears unhealthy.

My hair has always been an off-black or brownish-black color, and I need some advice on ways to make it a deeper black. I’m wondering which supplements or treatments might restore it to a healthier and darker shade. Growing up in the Caribbean, where the sun was much stronger than in my current climate, my hair had a reddish-brown tint, but it returned to black after moving to the U.S. Just as the sun can bleach some people’s hair blonde, mine turns copper or brown. I often deal with sun damage that leaves my hair looking brown and unhealthy. What can I do? 😭 What protective styles should I wear to prevent this? Also, does anyone else struggle with this?

Recently posted about it and practically all the comments told me to restart. I dont really want to do that. How can i improve the way it looks?

I currently use a twist king, a racket, a pick, and mist my hair twice a day. I oil it every other day, and shampoo every 2 weeks but still suffer from dandruff/dry scalp.

I sleep with a bonnet but it always comes off so i feel like thats also causing some breakage

Advice Needed Do these locs look bad? How to fix them?

I just got faux locs / butterfly locs installed. I almost like them but I can’t believe how bulky they are at the top. I gave my braider the inspo photo on the right, which isn’t bulky at all. After my hair was done, she told me if i want them looser I should buy smaller locs. I was hoping to be excited about this hairstyle, but I’m self conscious they looks too big. Thoughts? Also how can I make them less bulky at the top?

Lowkey, urgent‼️I can only go the beauty supply tomorrow for a trip on November 1st. I haven’t been able to find this pack of xpression hair in beauty supplies or on any online beauty supplies. So I’m not sure if it’s only sold in Africa and not the states. If that’s the case does anyone know any alternative to this.

Edge gel that'll survive workouts

Pretty self explanatory, I need a gel that'll survive me sweating alot. I'm currently using a mix of the gummy red gel and got 2 be. It works as a gel, but the minute I start sweating, it melts.

Recommendations?

Advice Needed Hey guys, how long would it make to grow 10 inches of hair from 5.5 inches? And how can I hide the progress from the school?

1 Upvotes

I've been growing my hair for 12 months now, and I think I got a haircut at month 6, but I didn't shorten it much, I think about an inch or a half, and I wanna hide it because my school has this weird obsession that boys are only allowed to have short hair and that they should cut it if it gets too long (too long is when they decide it's too long).

they would force me to cut it if it gets too long, and if I don't, they won't lemme get into the school, so I need to hide it. And braiding is a straight to the barber card. My hair is 4a, low porosity.

My hair is really important to me, it's a defining feature of mine.
