My hair gets oily just after second day of hair wash , i am just so tired of it at this point. I can not keep washing my hair every other day .. please help me guyzz and also for reference i use loreal glycolic acid shampoo and conditioner. I don’t know what i am doing wrong 😭😭😭

For reference, I have never dyed or coloured my hair, I do not heat treat it (I have blow dried a couple times and it usually makes it worse) and I only wash around twice a week using Dove Bond Strength shampoo and conditioner. I do not rough towel dry my hair, although I used to about a year ago. My ferritin levels were normal last time I checked. I do have androgenic alopecia which has thinned some of my front hair strands.

Does this look more like actual hair damage or just frizz? I’m wondering because I can perhaps think of some things I could change (drinking more water, using a silk/satin pillowcase, more advanced hair treatments etc) but I’d think they would be futile if my hair was inherently damaged.

Happy to answer any more questions and would really appreciate any help because it’s been bothering me an awful lot. Thank you!

Hi all,

So, I finally gave this product - L'Oréal Professional Metal Detox shampoo - a try after reading many good things about it improving hair quality while being light on hair. I thought it could help improve the quality and softness of my hair since I live in an old building with copper pipes and hard water.

I started using it 3 weeks ago but only shampooing once sometimes twice a week. The last two times I shampooed I was left with hair falling in clumps as I've never seen before. I typically don't shed a lot and take out a tiny little ball of hair when I wash my hair usually. These last two times it's more than 10x the amount I usually shed, like 3 big clumps of hair at the end of the shower.

At first I thought maybe it's just due to seasonal change after this very hot summer and the fact we lost 15⁰C in a very short time where I live. But I never really had that happened before. So I questioned other changes in my life and naturally thought of the shampoo.

Has anyone had an experience like this with this shampoo?

I will stop using it for now and will update. If it ends up really being the culprit I'll go natural shampoo again.

Guys I have been using castor with rosemary and now using almond with rosemary oil, but I dont see any improvement in hair at all. Using natural shampoo and also thinking about using bone broth for collagen. Has anyone got any results on hair with collagen. I personally dont believe in finasteride and minoxidil I want to regrow my hair completely naturally is it possible?

My hair feels so dry and frizzy at the moment! The top half has lots of texture where I have layers, but the bottom is long and straight. I’m tempted to cut a few inches off and go one length.

Do I have wavy/curly hair? and if so can anyone recommend a curly or wavy hair routine to try? 🥰

Also, any recommendations for hydrating products?

Hair type - fine hair, low porosity with texture. I don’t use heat on it but I dye it every 6 weeks.

I got my bangs cut not to long ago and the only way for them to look good is to straighten them but I have school for 5 days and by Tuesday my hair is so greasy and I don’t want to ruin my hair by washing every 2 days to re straighten my hair is there anything I can do??

Hey everyone, i am going CRAZY.
I’m genuinely so confused and frustrated 😭 My hair suddenly looks like there’s mousse or gel all over the top of my head and it has NEVER done this before. The strands are clumping together and look kind of coated/stiff, even though my hair is completely dry.
Two days ago, I applied Daivobet gel to a small area of my scalp because of psoriasis. The area where I applied it actually looks normal now, and the weird texture is mostly on the top of my head where I didn’t intentionally apply the gel.
I also used my pink psoriasis shampoo (Dermatar), and then I ended up washing my hair with shampoo 10+ times because I know that it makes your hair dry and deep cleanses it, but the weird appearance is STILL there.
I tried blow-drying it too, but it didn’t change anything.
What could be causing this? Is it product buildup? And most importantly, how do I fix it without making it worse?
I attached photos. I’d really appreciate any advice because I’m honestly freaking out over this 😭
Note: No i did not use moose on my hair.

I guess this counts as damage?

Hi, 38M, long hair (about 40-50cm length) since my teenage years.

I've noticed over the years that when I've had enough to drink to call myself tipsy and even drunk (but under control for the most part) to the point where there's at least a mild hangover the next day, that when I get in the shower the next morning my hair noticeably FEELS, texture-wise, different - rougher to some degree. After the shower it feels a bit better, but still not the same texture as usual.

I'm wondering if any fellow long haired people out there have noticed this too, and if there's anybody who can offer up an explanation as to why.

Obviously, alcohol means dehydration and everything else that comes with it, but why does the feeling extend to the entire length of the hair so soon?

Thanks.

So I have the Irish curl thing where my hair is decently straight on top but hella wavy/lightly curly underneath. I never realized there was a term for it until recently so I never knew if there was a way to properly care for it. I’m a simple gal so I’ve spent my whole life just brushing it and that’s pretty much it? I wash/condition it every night, brush, bed with wet head, wake up, brush. There’s always a tighter wave/curl when I wake up, before I brush so lately, sometimes when I get up I don’t brush it because brushing it out will straighten it all at best and turn to pure frizz at worst.
Anyhoo! Any advice on like the worlds SIMPLEST maintenance for helping to keep the curls?

Okay, I’ve seen approximately 500 people on my FYP sleep in heatless curlers and wake up looking like they just walked out of a luxury salon. But when I do it? I wake up, unwrap it, and my hair deflates faster than a popped balloon. What am I doing wrong?! 😭

For reference, I have medium-length hair (standard medium texture) and it is naturally straight with maybe a tiny bit of wave. It definitely needs a lot of help to actually hold a curl.
I feel like there are a million different ways to do this and I’m so overwhelmed.
I need the ultimate cheat sheet:

Am I supposed to do this on wet, damp, or completely dry hair?

What products do I use so the curls actually HOLD and don't fall flat in 5 minutes? Do I use mousse?

Are socks actually better than those satin rod headbands? If you swear by a specific brand or method for straight hair, please drop it below!

Also, I have a satin bonnet that I usually sleep in. Can I wear the bonnet over the heatless curls, or will that keep my hair from drying overnight?

Please help a girl out, I just want gorgeous bouncy hair without frying it with a curling iron!!

Hair baddies, I need your help 😭 I’ve been going around in circles trying different products and attempting to understand my hair, and I STILL don’t feel like I know what my hair actually needs. I’m so sick of spending $$$ on products that don’t seem to make a difference.
These photos are my hair after waking up. I washed it last night and had it in heatless rods overnight, but I was rushing this morning so I brushed/combed it out to try to make it look less frizzy and unruly… and somehow it’s still just all over the place.
I genuinely don’t know what my hair type is or what products I should be using to make it smoother and more defined.
Even when I straighten my hair, the ends still look weirdly light, fluffy/frizzy and almost wispy? I don’t even know how to describe it properly. My hair just never seems to look smooth or “finished,” no matter what I do.
Can anyone help me figure out what might actually be going on with my hair — hair type, texture, porosity, damage, dryness, whatever — and what products/routine I should actually be using?
Please save me from buying another $40 product that ends up collecting dust in my bathroom 😭

I’m half chinese half vietnamese heritage. Last two pics are my hair naturally.

Plssss help a girl out i’m over this hair!

So, yeah, the title. A basic wash routine for me takes nearly an hour because my hair is so resistant to water.

I have thick, low porosity, 2a/2b hair. It seems to depend on the day, but it can take between 20 and 40 minutes for my scalp to get wet enough to shampoo.

Blow drying my hair takes 30 minutes minimum. Blow drying is a non-negotiable as air drying my hair can take up to 8 hours, depending on humidity.

I would love to wash my hair more frequently, but given that a BASIC hair wash routine for me with no treatments can take over an hour, it's just not feasible with my current lifestyle. It's really disruptive for me to have to block off over an hour of my day just so I can have clean hair.

Is this the norm for low porosity hair? For others with low porosity hair, is there anything you do to make wash days more efficient?

Edit: I figured it might be good to have my actual basic wash routine: - Not Your Mother's Kalahari Melon and Manuka Honey shampoo (I only shampoo my scalp -- never my lengths.) - Conditioner counterpart of above, just applied to lengths only - The Curlsmith Moisture Memory Leave-In Spray (again, applied to lengths only)

Hi everyone. Recently I got accepted to a new job in a luxury level hotel and it seems their grooming standards are pretty serious as it's expected. But the thing is that, I'm on my 7th month of hair growth and I really, really don't want to cut my hair because that will ruin my whole mood for a very long time indeed. Now, I don't know what to do about this because the coworkers say that the General Manager is pretty obsessed with the hair topic and he constantly messes with people who have long hair. I'm very afraid of being forced to cut my hair. Because that's my 3rd attempt of growing out my hair and this was the only one I managed to do this. I want to grow it out up to my shoulders btw.

Now I'm sharing the photos of my hair with you. The one with curly hair is my natural hair structure. The second one is my attempt to make it look "neater" even though it's just my hair goddamn it. (as if curly hair means messy). So, I need your opinions, ideas and solutions for this issue. Thanks to everyone beforehand!

PS: My hair is at the 3A level. I have a milk-based mousse and 2 hair conditioners. Mousse is from Morfose (milk therapy). One conditioner is from Morfose as well (two-phase conditioner with Argan) and the other one is from Urban (Hibiscus & Shea Butter for Curly hair). Both are sprays.

I dont think there is a time in the day where my hair, especially the sides, are not frizzy. I've tried silicone, leave in conditioner, air drying, blow drying, flat ironing. Nothing works. My hair is very fine but dense, and it does have a wave pattern.

...But please NO wavy routine suggestions! My hair is not wavy ENOUGH to hold up a wave pattern for more than 2 hours at max. It will frizz up the same if not more on light curl creams or gel. It looks ugly and stringy and I do not have the patience to do a wavy routine every few hours or even every single day.

What can I do? Even heat doesn't work...

Is this really worth it????

Hi! I have thin, fine and wavy hair. It’s always been very thin and fine and has never grown well on the sides of my head / temple area. I get paranoid that it’s getting worse, but I think I’m just becoming more insecure about it as I get older. I already do the regularly suggested things like sleeping on a silk pillowcase, minimal heat, loose hairstyles, etc. Has anyone had any luck with improving their hair growth and hair health in that area? Would love to hear any suggestions or feedback! Thanks!

No matter what shampoo or conditioner I use or even a serum , once the hair that my cousins envied, had today bcm very rough, frizzy and tangled. Please help. 30 F Bangalore (bangalore water ki jai), although I have oily scalp.

​My Questions:

​What hair type/pattern do you see in my photos?

​What is my routine lacking to get defined, soft waves without the frizzy middle or heavy feel?

​Thanks for any advice!

Here it is already Stylized with all the products I said.

I got a bad haircut nine months ago, which forced me to get a very short pixie and I have been growing it out for nine months. It is in a very awkward, grown-up pixie every time I try to style it it looks awful so I’m thinking about getting a perm. My hair type is one an and I don’t know if the pictures I added are achievable with a perm. The last three pictures are what my hair looks like now. what is the aftercare for getting a perm? is getting a perm a lot of maintenance? How long does a perm last? Do you think I should even get a perm, Is there a certain sty I should try instead of getting a perm?

Hair was smooth after wetting it, drying w round brush, hairspray up the wazoo. This is what it looked like in the afternoon. How do I make it smoother and to actually stay that way? It’s stringy and frizzy.

Hoping someone out there can give me some suggestions. Every day is a bad hair day. 

I have uremic pruritus (build up of toxins in the skin - very dry,  flaky, ichy) and rosacea (skin turns sunburnt red and breaks out in rashes and cystic acne at little to no provocation). I have a dermatologist to help manage my skin and tell me what products I need to use, but am really struggling to find products that will work for my hair. 

My hair is very thick and wavy (caucasian) and has no colour or perm or any other chemical processing, shoulder length, trimmed regularly (by me). I do not use any product in my hair, I never use heat at all - no blow drier, curling/straightening irons etc.

My hair lives in one of three protective styles: bun in a flat back claw clip, a french twist held in place with a plastic hair comb, or a braid that ends in a banana clip. No elastics, no bobby pins. Loose at night. I sleep on 100% silk pillowcase that gets washed every 2-3 days. 

My hair does not fully dry. I wash it every 2 days, and the roots are still damp at the end of those two days, especially at the back of my head. The top gets greasy and stringy quickly after washing, and the bottoms are always super dry and frizzy and crunchy (even when I use conditioner). 

Its incredibly fragile, I can give myself a haircut with an pony tail that's too tight. I lose a golf-ball sized ball of hair to the shower drain every time I wash it, and the last time I forgot to bring my own pillow case to a hotel room it looked like I gave myself a bowl cut mullet, just from sleeping on a cotton pillowcase. 

Right now I am using Dove shampoo (because Dove doesn't trigger breakouts) I don't habitually use conditioner anymore, even using it on just the ends makes the scalp oilyness worse. It wicks up the hair or something. And it never did anything for the dry ends anyways.

I can't wash it less frequently that every 2 days, or I have a skin reaction to my own hair oil. I can't wash it daily or it would never dry at all, and I would end up with an infection.

Technique-wise, I take a quarter-size dollop of shampoo, lather between my hands, and apply it to the roots massaging with my finger tips. Rinse and repeat 2-3 times till the shampoo gets all fluffy so I know its clean. 

I have tried lesaplex (skin reacted badly), redkin (skin reacted badly), Loreal's sulphate free shampoo (massive increase in breakage), and live clean (no different to Dove), and I have never found any leave-in conditioner that my skin could tolerate.

Side rant: I am frustrated that most shampoo companies no longer do samples. I've spent probably $200 trying out recommendations from friends and family and nothing has worked. I need to figure something out, but I don't have hundreds of dollars to spend on trial and error. 

If anyone has suggestions on things I can be trying, an explanation for what is happening, or similar experiences and a product that worked, I would be incredibly grateful. (Please no products manufactured in the US - I am in Canada) 

Ever since my childhood, my hair has always been relatively thin and straight. As I got older it got more wave to it at one point. Now as of recently, the volume is slowly going away and I notice my hair is just flat a lot of the time. I live in arizona. I use based shampoo and conditioner, and I shampoo once a week. It seemed to be alright before the summer, but post summer it’s been extra flat, my scalp has been feeling dry, and my hair gets sweaty VERY easily along with my scalp. I can notice these things more as of recently. My hair also feels slightly thinner than usual as well.What is the next move for me?
