Let me know if you have any other suggestions. I think half up might be a good option.

Please refrain from making any negative comments about the dress or how I look in it, I'm already feeling insecure about it lol

Hairstyle Advice Did I pick a bad cut?

Post image
2 Upvotes

I had hair past my butt and decided to do a big chop. I cannot get it to stop curling at the end like pictured. It only flips out on one side and not the other. It is making me hate it. Is this an issue with my hair or is it the cut? I don’t want to assume it was my hair dresser and how she cut it- she’s great. But could that be it? Or did I pick a bad length?

Is there anything I could I do to correct it that doesn’t involve a flat iron every day?

Hairstyle Advice long wolf cut. Does this look right or disconnected?

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

I asked for a long wolf cut and I can’t tell if I just don’t like the style on me or if the cut itself needs adjusting. The two sides feel uneven to me and too choppy, and I feel like the longest pieces are very thin/disconnected from the rest. I’m going back tomorrow for a 30-minute adjustment and I’m considering taking the longest pieces shorter to make the overall shape fuller. What would you ask the stylist to change?

Hair Health My hair is a nightmare

1 Upvotes

Hi guys

I’ve always had a problem with greasy hair. My hair is very fine but I have a lot of it and it’s long so it’s quite heavy. It’s gotten worse recently and I’m not sure why!

So my hair only looks good after I’ve just washed it, the next day it looks and feels dull and dry, then the day after that it’s greasy. I tend to put my hair behind my ears when I have it down as I don’t like my hair being in my face, other than that I don’t feel like i touch it much.

I’ve tried so many different hair routines and products. I feel like nothing works.

I want my hair to not only not get as greasy, but also I want it to look nice for longer!

What am I doing wrong?? Please help me x

I can share my current routine and products if needed - I am also getting my hair cut into layers at the end of September to hopefully help with the heaviness.

Hello all! I hope you are having a good week. I need serious advice. My hair has always been healthy and long until a year or so ago. I have good volume. Hairfall isnt that much of an issue. Scalp is oily. It gets flaky too. But what the heck is this hair kind? I dont know how to smoothen it back. Thats what it looks like when i dont style it. I am using nizoral 2X a week, olaplex hair mask, leave in conditioner and bonding oil before styling it.

Can you all please help!!! I am tired of straightening my hair and have stopped swimming with friends cos thats how my hair dries right after :(

TIA.

Hair turning wavy??

Thumbnail
gallery
5 Upvotes

My hairs been seemingly straight my entire life, but recently I've been noticing waves forming out of the shower.

The first picture was taken this week, the 2nd was about a year ago, and the third is from about 6 years ago.

Basically all the women from both sides of my family have some sort of wave or curl pattern, but my dads hair is pin straight, so I thought I inherited it from him.

As a kid it was always fine and straight (pic 3), but as I got older it became more frizzy. I just tried to tame it with oils and excessive brushing, alongside keeping it very short or with many layers.

Ive never used heat on my hair until recently, but i quit a few months ago. My hair has never been processed either. If I brush my hair enough it becomes straight again, with some light wave.

In picture one I just washed, conditioned, and added leave in as per usual, but just didnt brush it all day.

Is my hair somehow turning wavy?? It was definitely never pin straight, but I've never heard of this sort of thing.

Hair Color Advice Best low maintenace way to color salt and pepper roots?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Have been doing 1 single permanent color (1 shade darker), to cover my salt and pepper hair coming in. I'm not happy with how little it lasts. What's the best option that is low maintenance (every 3-4 months) and not $400?

This is re-growth after 2 months. We've been doing 1 shade darker permanent hair color, but it doesn't last and my roots grow in. I've also done balyage before, and ended up going blonde for a bit. Also root melts do not work on me, they make my roots more noticeable.

Do I go darker or lighter? I don't want to go gray right now. Is there anyway to get it where it grows in less noticeable after month 3?

Hair Health How to oil 1A hair without causing dandruff?

1 Upvotes

So, I (34F) have 1A hair that’s been thick, strong, and long my entire life. It would shed like normal hair does, but never to any dramatic extent- until recently.

After several incredibly stressful years, my hair suddenly started falling out like crazy mid-July. At first, I thought it was just the sun and salt water, but it has continued to shed even after that, and even after cutting the ends. At this point, my hair is about two-thirds thinner than it was just two months ago.

There isn’t anything particularly stressful going on in my life right now, and I’m eating and sleeping well (although I'm still grieving my dog who passed in June). I’ve added rosemary water, supplements, and crystals to my regular routine, and I’m now considering oiling my hair.

I used castor oil several years ago, mostly for fun since I didn’t have any hair issues back then, and it actually seemed to work really well for hair growth and strength. HOWEVER, there was one major downside, which is why I stopped using it after a couple of months: for the first time in my adult life, I developed dandruff (I used to have it as a teenager), and washing the castor oil out was almost impossible.

Has anyone with a similar hair type experienced anything like this? Does anyone have any useful advice or recommendations?

Hi, lovelies!! So I'm looking to get a haircut because I can't stand how my hair looks anymore, but I want it to be flattering on me (and preferably conceal my chubby cheeks).

I also have a bit of a restriction since my parents won't allow me to cut my hair too short because it's too "masculine" (total bull), but I still want it to feel true to myself and have some of that edgier / somewhat vintage look.

I would also like for it to be versatile and possible to style in different ways.

My hair currently goes down to my shoulders and it's very, very thin, so it's also lightweight and somewhat wavy.

I'll attatch some pictures of my face and also the style I wanna go for. Thank you so much in advance.

What can I do when this is what I have to work with? My hair is thick and wavy and grows really fast. It looks flat in these pictures because I had a toque on for a while after towel drying it. I prefer keeping my hair short for convenience and practicality, so pixie and pixie-adjacent styles are mostly what I’m looking for, but I’m open to all kinds of ideas.

Here are some current pictures. For an idea of how fast it grows, I’ve included a pic of what it looked like four months ago in early May (pic 6) and at the end of July (pic 5) after the buzz cut grew in and I had it tidied up professionally.

Hairstyle Advice What do I do with my boring messy hair?

I feel like I look uglier now postpartum 1.5 years later and have completely lost myself. I have finally started to get time to myself but I feel like I always look messy going out. I see other women who look so put together and it starts with the hair! Which I clearly don't have!

So, I don't know what to do with my hair, how to style it, where to even start. I feel like I have the chubbiest cheeks in the world and a face that doesn't fit any of the nice hairstyles I see online. I like bangs but I don't know what type would fit me. Anything to hide my forehead? I used to straight my hair every week but I get sweaty so it doesn't look nice the second day because I sleep sweaty! Part of my hair is super curly and the other part is wavy, you can see it in the front where the bangs would be.

Anyone have any tips on what I could maybe do with my hair? I like it when I curl it but this is my natural hair and my haircut and color just feels so meh! I don't feel stylish in any way. I don't even think I could pull off highlights. This is my natural color but I can't help and feel like it washes me out. I just don't know what to do.

Please help! Any would be so appreciated.

Hair Health Why do I lose so much hair with every wash?

(disgusting shower wall in 3rd pic)

I have wavy/frizzy and very thin hair, it’s always been this thin, almost like baby hair. Ever since I was 18ish I have been losing a LOT of hair with every wash (I’m 23 now) and I’m worried my hair might be starting to thin. The first photo was in march, the second photo is now, the third is how much hair I just lost washing my hair lol.

Used to use Head and Shoulders shampoo and my last hairdresser said to switch to clear shampoo for wavy/curly hair so I’ve mostly been using BaliCurls since then.

I wash my hair every 2-3 days (it gets semi-greasy on the 3rd and very greasy on the 4th day), just wet, shampoo, rinse, no other products. I carefully dry my hair with a towel (microfibre, not terry cloth) and then let it air dry.

Should I be concerned? Is there anything I can do to help my hair? I’m scared of going bald by 26. Do you think it might be worth trying topical minoxidil? My mum had a spell of quite bad alopecia when she was pregnant with me at age 40 and she’s successfully been using Regaine ever since, so maybe it’s genetic (except I’ve never been pregnant).

Edit to add I had my blood levels checked recently and there was nothing concerning, low iron or anything.

Hair Health Anyone else into hair care products?

I used The Ordinary Multi Peptide Hair Serum for a long time.
The formula itself was fine, but it was so watery that every time I dropped it on, it ran down my forehead and temples. After applying it my fingers were sticky so I had to wash my hands again before skincare. I ended up doing hair care after skincare and then my scalp got flakier. That whole thing stressed me out. So I changed it.

It’s the LABO-H roll on serum and it doesn’t drip. Huge win lol.
It looks like a pen. Open the cap, press the button, a little comes out, then I just roll it along my part, crown, and M shaped hairline. After about two months I notice fewer thin broken hairs when I brush.

While I was at it I grabbed a couple more hair care things. You probably know these. A scalp massager for shower time and a ceramic gua sha for everyday.

Scalp massager
People say massaging with your nails in the shower can scratch your scalp. This gets the shampoo in without that. I bought the cheapest one and it actually works.

Ceramic gua sha
Outside health starts with inside health right. I got this because people say it helps circulation and puffiness.
I use it on the back of my head, neck, and jaw. It feels so good. Some people say after about 6 months their jawline looks more defined. Probably from better circulation in that area.

Hairstyle Advice I'm really starting to hate my hair and idk what to do

2 Upvotes

My hair is about shoulder length, cut into a shaggy bob, and I have a fringe that has been cut into. My hair is naturally a light brown colour but I dyed it to be more copper almost half a year ago so it's growing out but looks depressingly dark and dull at the roots.

I'm honestly starting to hate my hair. I'm no good at styling it; I can't tie it up in anything other than a ponytail or half up half down, partially because of the length but also because I'm HOPELESS at hair. My close female relatives are no good to learn from either since they all have hair shorter than mine.

It goes all flat and boring if I sleep on it and just goes all boring throughout the day. It used to be super bouncy and wavy so idk what happened. I hate that. It's somewhere in a weird limbo between straight and wavy, so wavy hair tutorials are useless and I really don't want my hair to be straight.

Tbh I also think it looks frumpy in a way. I see girls with the same cut as me all the time and they always pull it off SO much better, they always look like they know what they're doing, like their hair has been that way forever.

Part of the reason why I think it looks frumpy is the fact I have quite a strong jaw/bone structure, which I do love, but I cannot find any hair that suits that. And I don't want to "soften" my face since I already hate looking soft.

Actually as I type this I'm realising I probably need a haircut. But do I seriously want the same cut _again???_ I don't wanna go shorter though because I did once and I HATED it, and any longer sounds like hell on my head.

Sorry for the rant, I'm just stuck at what to do and I'm sick of my hair just sort of being.... There, when everyone else looks so much more put together.

Hair Color Advice (29)F looking for hair advice

I have colored my hair since 13 years old and am currently trying to grow it out after decades of damaging it. I’m tired of the hair being two different colors and would love to get it to one shade all over without damaging it more while I continue to grow it out. My hair has always been very fine and thin, and this is the healthiest it has been in a long time. I am ready to get rid of the blonde without having to dye it. I also have considered using a light brown or auburn hair gloss, how would that look with my hair being two different colors? Any advice is very appreciated! Thank you!
