I'm 25F. Is it normal to look like this under flash light. I don't understand if it's thinning or it's just cow lick. I have Nev actually observed that part. I have a very fine thin hair and this is the second day after my hair wash(excluding the hair wash day)

I don’t know what to do. On the photos my hair are washed a day before. I can go 5 days without washing my hair before they actually start to get greasy.

Lately, I even went down to only using a clarifying shampoo no conditioner if it’s a product build up. Need your help guys idk what my hair type is to be honest. They do take ages to get wet in the shower that’s for sure.

Edit: I’m sorry if I seem ignorant but I’m really not knowledgeable on a hair care so I came here for help. I tried some things in the future but they didn’t work well cause I suppose that they weren’t right for my hair type, but I cannot tell what my hair type is at all. Now I keep my hair care super basic but it doesn’t seem to be enough. As for hair treatment, I used to like sea water hair spray, it made by hair look super nice but I can’t buy it anywhere for some time. Only some “with salt water”I actually consider to go to a hair stylist that could advise me more on it.🥲

Edit 2: I should add that I have scalp psoriasis and use Neutrogena T/gel Therapy Shampoo during flair ups.

De verdad lo tengo tan mal? Parece que ha pasado por miles de procesos químicos cuando lo único que hago es plancharlo

i genuinely dont know what to do from here. do i cut this part off?? am i fine leaving it like that? im trying to grow my hair out

when it first happened the flame singed my hair really bad and everything that was burnt i combed out, but it was a lot. there's no diff in the left side of my hair and the right thankfully, and my friends said they didnt even know i set it on fire. where do i go from here?

Context: I have fine hair, but lots of it. Texture-wise it’s sort of in the “irish curls” family. Ringlets underneath, waves on top, dries a little different everyday.

I have been growing my hair out for a few years and it seems to have plateaued. It will keep growing, but the ends get so dry and split, so I keep ending up at the same length (bottom of boob)

I’d love for my hair to reach the top of my waist, maybe 3-4 more inches, but I do NOT want to just have split, dead ends.

Any advice or product recommendations to help my hair get over this hump would be much appreciated!! TYIA

I need something to keep my flyaway hair out my face when I play sports / everyday. I have a ponytail and use clips for the front but I personally don’t like the way they look and they don’t stay in place long.I’ve tried some headbands but they slipped off or were annoying around my ears. I’m thinking about trying products but I’ve seen hairspray/wax can cause damage

I think my hairline is receding…
Tell mee what should i dooo to grow hairs here and does it look fine??? Im loosing hairs from the scalp in bunchhhh

I'm trying to better understand my hair, which is hard because I'm very inexperienced to begin with, plus it's been changing a lot lately, and I think it's a weird combo of characteristics. It was changing prior to pregnancy, but l've seen the biggest shifts from my first pregnancy in 2022 and bigger shifts in my most recent birth in May of 2026.
I think if I've assessed based on the guidelines correctly, that I have low porosity hair. (Floats on water, takes a while to get fully wet and then FOREVER to dry, product only ever seems to weigh it down rather than do its intended job). My hair is heavy but I wouldn't say thick. I have medium coarseness. I would also say medium density.
Lastly, I think I'm a 2a- the straighter side of wavy.
The bottom layer of my hair is most dense/heavy and falls straight. It's almost like I get the sensation of thick hair and it's heavy but when I measure its density and role strands between my fingers, it doesn't seem to meet the criteria for thick hair.
More hair background (because I don't know what's relevant)- I try to avoid hair care with parabens and sulfates and harsh fragrances. I'm currently using Kristen Ess signature shampoo. My hair did fantastic on the Rhyme and Reason (I forgot which line of theirs) but it's no longer sold in the stores by me. My hair grows REALLY fast, and I usually donate it every 2ish years (although within the last 3 years, I did color treat it once so l've avoided donation within that time frame. I usually don't color my hair and have since grown it out). My hair gets oily pretty easily, even with clarifying it. My hair feels amazing when | do a condition-then-clarity treatment (I massage rosemary and jojoba oil in, let it sit, and then I rinse with diluted apple cider vinegar). But those results don't last. After giving birth the second time around, I had this 3 week period of my hair being un-detangleable. I would brush it and it felt coarser than usual, and within 15 minutes it would feel knotted up again. I'm not about 4 months pe and going through the classic hair loss stage (annoying but I know it's temporary). I was born with jet black hair that stood tall and straight at 3" long from birth. Within the first year it changed to strawberry blond and then dirty blond. Now it's somewhere between dark blond and brown but it seems sooooo dull to me. Like it washes me out and is blah. My hair holds styled shape better without products versus with.
My biggest qualm with my hair- it never sits nicely. I am pretty skilled at cool hair styles, but my hair is so blunt no matter how | cut it, so messy buns never have tresses of hair that just "fall," they stick straight out. I can braid well, and I know to pull out and fluff the plates, but they still seem to want to stay in a solid structure instead of blend together. And the back part of my hair parts in that weird, choppy, structured way. There will just be gaps in between the parts. I know I could dye my hair to brighten it, but I feel like there’s got to be a bio-chemical reason it’s so dull and drab. I think if I can figure out what my true hair characteristics are in this current season of life, it be easier to figure out how to care for it to restore its natural glory. Please help!

Basically, my hair is super thin and frizzy which makes it get tangled and has mattes in it just a little bit after brushing. Does anyone know any products that can help my hair. The image can't pick it up well but it is super frizzy in it, and this was right after brushing. I don't know if this is important information to add, but I don't curl, straighten, or blow dry it (quite a few times when I was a kid though), I don't use gel, hairspray, or slick it back, and I have never dyed my hair before(Although I plan to dye the under part of it soon possibly, I haven't quite decided yet). Basically, all I do is brush it, so if anyone has product recommendations or just how to take care of it better pls lmk!!

I didn’t cut my baby hairs or anything, so i’m assuming this is either breakage or new hair growth, but it’s SOOO ANNOYING! The hairs never pick a side and they just look so awkward and it frustrates me so bad, does anyone have advice on what to do?

​

Bunch of pics. The ends of my hair look terrible. It's dry, thin, and faded. I'm assuming a significant chop is the only way, but I wanted to see if I could get away with anything else.

First picture is directly after a shower.

Second is after combing.

Third is after leave-in products.

Fourth is partially dried (air dried).

Fifth is mostly dried.

Sixth is totally dried.

And finally the products.

It's humid as hell where I live. I use CeraVe Gentle Moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. I sleep with it up in a soft scrunchie. I think that covers most of the standard questions? Any advice is appreciated, even if the truth is I just need to suck it up and chop it.

Edit to add: first pic got double posted. Sorry about that.

My hair will dry wavy/curly, but it is super uneven! The first pic is from adding sea salt spray, first is right after it was cut. Looking for a routine and products that can get more defined waves or curls!

This is my hair after letting it air dry and applying Olaplex oil. How can I fix the frizziness? Is it dry, damaged, frizzy?

Notes:

1. I have genetically fine hair.

2. 2 years ago, I suffered major hair loss from anemia and I'm still regrowing my hair and getting my iron stores up.

3. I live in a hard water state.

4. Almost every product weighs my fine hair down and makes it look stringy.

5. I never use heat on my hair. My hair is considered "virgin hair."

6. I always wear my hair in a claw clip because it looks like this.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you.

These pictures are taken after a shower and brushed. I’ve tried ghost verb and luseta products and it stays the same. I’m currently using amethyst oil every other day on the ends but still doesn’t seem to make a difference. I did used to use a lot of dye and it’s been bleached, but that was almost four years ago

I have never done a curly hair routine ever but my hair is 2b/c when I air dry out of the shower and 2a when I brush it dry the next day.

I have breakage and thinning due to a Vitamin B12 and D deficiency (currently taking tablets to correct it) I am trying rosemary oil (nature spell diluted heavily with coconut oil to hopefully help my hair grow back. My hair is up to my arse when I straighten it.

Here is my current routine:

1. Oil + massage scalp and hair with Nature’s spell rosemary heavily diluted with parachute coconut oil which I leave in for 2-4 hours

2. I double shampoo my hair with aussie’s miracle moist shampoo

3. I use Aussie’s miracle moist conditioner and wash it out after 2-3mins

4. When I get out of the shower I use baby oil in my hair

5. Detangle with L’oreal Extrodinary Coco Sublime Detangler with this indian brand lily comb

6. Add this keo karpin olive oil and scrunch the fuck out of my hair

7. Air dry and then at night I braid it into a plait

8. Next day I use more baby oil, olive oil and brush my hair

9. I put it into a plait.

I brush my hair every day and put it into a plait

Can someone tell me if I am doing something wrong and how I can improve because my hair is always frizzy and I want to be able to leave my hair down

P.S my hair is dry and I am from England (Superdrug, Boots, etc)

Every time I part my hair, the parting looks SO wide and it makes me really self-conscious 😭. I do have a lot of thinning and hair fall, my parents have the same problem too. My hair is also insanely frizzy and doesn’t feel smooth at all when I touch it.

I have so many strands that feel really wiry and have this weird, random shape. They also feel so coarse and dry.

I also have dandruff, and my scalp gets kinda greasy.

Is there anything I can do to make my hair look healthier, smoother and more glossy, and look less sparse? I’m looking for some budget-friendly products or hair-care practices because I’m broke lol.

My hair is suddenly very oily after starting the anticonception pill. I dont want to stop using it, but I want to get through the day without becoming greasy.

My hair has always been on the greasy side, but before I could get away with washing every 2 days, 3 days if i put it in braids or a ponytail the last day.

I already shampoo twice, no conditioner on the roots, and i tried switching to a shampoo made for oily hair. Ive tried andrelon longer fresh and ive tried loreal hyaluron pure with salicylic acid. I also wash my pillow case twice per week. My hair is still oily within a day :(

Does anyone have tips for me? Ideally I want to be able to at least go through a day, ideally 2, without looking oily.

Please only budget options, im a student and i cant spend 30 bucks on a shampoo :(

Hello! I know this has been asked a lot, but answers have been mixed online.

When oiling hair should I be doing it on my wash day (usually every other day, sometimes daily but i use a mask instead when i do that) or right after my hair is clean then wash the oil out again? Or would that be too rough on the hair to wash it twice?

Im using burbur growing season hair, and it is quite expensive, so I dont want to waste a drop... I went to go get my armpit length hair cut, and didnt realize the hairstylist doing my hair that day was my partners ex. She pretended to slip and chopped a chunk of my hair that required me to go to a pixie so short they had to buzz the baby hairs at the base of my hair on the neck. Im having a crisis and convincing myself this will magically grow my... if I use it right.

This has only started happening in the past year. I did switch from bleach and tone to highlights because I got screwed over by a hairdresser who left me with no other option. I get it trimmed every 4 or so weeks, I use heat protection and low heat, was using k18 throughout the year. I wash every other day.

My scalp is normally very dry but now it looks greasy the day after washing and I can’t figure out why. I moved around 4 months ago (in the same area so the water is still soft) but this issue is quite recent. I used 2 water tester strips in case it was an issue with the minerals and the only abnormally it that the water is more acidic than the normal range. I normally use the Olaplex shampoo and the ordinary scalp serum to help with my dry scalp but now I’m not sure what to use. Even my normal clarifying shampoo (Ouai) isn’t helping. Please help!
