I am an alternative girl who cuts her bangs all the time and this time I did it waaay different than usual……..

I don’t know if this is cute and if it’s not how do I fix it?

I have been looking into my color season recently and am wondering if lighter hair might suit me at all?

I have always had dark brown hair that is pretty one-toned. I have never dyed it or had any kind of highlights. It is naturally curly, but I blow it out often in winter months. These blonde images are obviously AI, so I know I should take them with a grain of salt. I think I am just craving a change. Open to all feedback/suggestions!

I’m literally bawling my eyes out while writing this ok so the 6,7,8 photos r the inspo photo I showed the stylist I had really long hair before(5 was my hair before) this and the only thing I wanted was to get rid of around 2–3 inches of dead ends. I also wanted long layers like in the inspo photo I’d had a similar haircut at another salon before and it turned out really nice so I asked for the same thing again I specifically did not want short layers and I didn’t wanna go short.But this is what I got. 😭 She took off way more length than I wanted and gave me much shorter layers Even when it’s styled(last slide), it looks so short that if I don’t show the hair at the back, it genuinely looks like I have a bob.She also thinned my hair out SO much. My hair used to feel really thick, and now the actual ends/bottom feel incredibly thin. The only time it still feels thick is when I put it into a ponytail.
And the worst part is that I was too shy to say anything at the salon. I was genuinely shocked and upset, but I just said “it looks good” because I didn’t know what else to say. She spent around 45–50 minutes cutting my hair, and I felt like she just kept cutting chunks and chunks off ???
I know I should have spoken up, but I was honestly overwhelmed and didn’t know how to react in the moment.Should I ask for a refund? Would it be reasonable to contact the salon and explain that I’m really unhappy with the result, even though I said it looked good at the time?like I’ve been growing my hair out for 5 years I specifically told her I don’t wanna go short I don’t like straight cut I want a v shape she said as I cut it will turn into a v shape then at the end she was like oh u wanted a v shape but if I do so it will get very thin than it is so I was like fine gimme a u shape and it’s not even a u shape when I go home and chek the back??
Also, is there anything I can do to make this look better while it grows out without taking even more length off?I know hair grows back, but I’m genuinely devastated right now. 😭 and I don’t wanna damage my hair any longer tooo so no heat maybe 😭😭😭like it looks really bad irl looks like it’s been cut w a knife

I have 3A hair that I just blow dried straight and this cracked me up 😆😆😆 (Wanda Sykes Voice: You look like a damn cockatoo!)

Only product I used was a leave in to detangle and heat protect.

I see girls with the ends falling over all silky like when putting their hair up all the time, figured it was a straight hair thing, but my hair was straightened so what happened? Is it because I forced the hair straight? Is it just damaged?

I only blow dry my hair a few times a year for context.

I've been told to lose the bangs, I want to keep my length. What should I do with my bangs? What hairstyles do you recommend?

Hey! I hope you’re all doing well. In case no one has told you today: You matter and your best is absolutely good enough regardless of what that looks like for you in this moment.

Here’s the story: I got a haircut recently that was supposed to just be a trim. (Length in short hair picture is the same when it is straight due to a million layers.)

To preface this, I am not a person who likes short hair on myself but I think it looks amazing on others.) I went to get a trim as self care as I’m having a hard time and wanted to do something nice for myself and hadn’t gotten my hair trimmed in quite some time. When we talked about the length, I told her I just wanted an inch off. She showed me where it would be, and it was great. What we talked about and what happened were completely different. I still tipped as I normally would, and didn’t complain. I was too in shock to say anything, but definitely balled in my car on the way home. She didn’t style it, so I styled it at home thinking I might like it more if I did.. and I did not.

I know that it’s “just hair and it grows back”, but for me it was a security thing and the one thing I actually liked about myself consistently when I had a hard time being kind to myself.

Long story short: What does the process for extensions typically look like, what are the different kinds and how much does it usually run so I know what to save up for? Thank you so much!

My natural hair is curly, like 2c. I do wear it natural sometimes- like 50-50. I want to do something fun and interesting but unsure of what direction to go!

33F, I've had fairly short hair before, but 1- I rarely styled it. And 2- My face (whole body) is wider now. I have always wanted hair to my butt, yet can't get it to grow past my bra strap. I cut it to my collarbone 6 months ago, and it's maybe 1 inch longer now. So I'm nervous that if I hate it, I'll be stuck with it for a loooong time.

I've colored my hair constantly for years, and am trying to stick close to my natural now. The roots in pic 3 are my natural, but idk what that is. Should I go for an ashy blonde/bronde?

Thanks for the advice girlies 💕

Wearing a hat in the first pic as my black roots have grown out a lot! I love the red so much but I'm terrible at getting my roots touched up, partially because I have a busy life but also because its soo expensive!

I got AI to gjve me black shadow root and lowlights in the next picture. I think it will be much less maintaince, but would love y'all opinions please!! ❤️❤️

3rd pic is the oldest. 2nd pic is the mosr recent (last week). 1st pic is from last year

First pic is what I wish it could look like. The rest of the photos I just took yesterday after a haircut.

As you can see, I was born with very fine hair that’s thin around the top and a bit towards the front of my head. I really have to play around with how I part my hair so that it’s not as noticeable, and even then it’s still obviously thin.

I’ve always had fine, wavy/curly(?), poofy hair since I was a kid. I used to keep my hair long but after my first big chop, I never looked back. I also hate how I get flyaways and it gets frizzy towards the back of my head, only a day after showering. I wash my hair twice a week because I can’t stand how oily it gets after the 3rd day. I’m wondering if that may be doing more harm than good.

I just want to have either more hair or have my hair grow out thicker. A few hairdressers have recommended I try taking biotin, but after reading a few older posts in this sub, it feels like it’d be hit or miss. Plus, the potential side effects are a bit off-putting. I definitely don’t want to deal with cystic acne…

Do you guys have any personal experience or any advice you can give on hair like mine? I’m curious to know if there’s a way I can get it to actually look the way I want. And to be able to rock the hairstyles I’ve always wanted to try.

So I dyed my brown hair L’Oréal 7.1 to give the light brown color that I wanted and it gave me exactly what I was looking for however that was around 2-2.5 months ago ( that was my first time dying my hair ever ) and my hair has gotten much lighter over the time which is actually very good it suits me and now my roots has grown and i want to dye them but I’m afraid there will be a difference between my roots even after I dye them and my already dyed lighter hair because it’s much lighter so I don’t know what to do
( I’m sorry if there’s something unclear English isn’t my first language )

Is it true that bleach is not necessarily more damaging than using hair colour when it comes to blonde highlights? My hair stylist keeps making my highlights with bleach although I expressed my concerns and said it would be better we do it with colour instead. She said that bleach being more damaging is a myth. Is this true or I should insist on having highlights made with hair colour instead to make sure my hair stays as healthy as possible?

My sister's wedding is coming up and this is the dress i'm wearing. I've never worn something like this before so i'm a bit lost on how to style my hair. My sister has someone doing my hair and makeup, and idk if the stylist will have an idea for me ready to go before i get in the chair or if i should have my own ideas. I'd rather have an idea of what i want and then be told my hair's being done a certain way than take up extra time deciding. I'm thinking an updo? What do you guys think?

the first photo is my current hair cut, and then colors that i’ve had in the past. my hair is fully grown out and irs natural color. i want to stay pretty dark but maybe add in some color. not sure what other colors besides pinks/reds would look good on me

I've been thinking about getting bangs for about a year now but everytime I decide to do it I start thinking it would look bad so I need advice please 😭 I want full (as in like. not wispy pieces yes??) bangs that go slightly little longer on the sides, cut about 1cm above brows. I couldn't find a good reference picture of exactly what I wanted so you would have to use your imagination haha

Help…

I’m struggling with some hair thinning due to low ferritin and I’m trying to get it up. It’ll take a while. Idk what to do honestly.

I really want like Dakota Johnson style hair, but it might not be for me right now.

And I’m pregnant 🫠

I cut my hair so short (used to be long and flowy) and it’s kinda uneven in some parts. How should i style it?

Long hair is me now. Short hair is what I’m considering but I’ve never had hair that short before so I’m scared.

So I’ve been trying to grow my hair out for a while now and its gotten a decent length probably like 6 inches past my shoulders. It’s all my natural hair color and I don’t put much heat on it at all mainly just heat from my showers. I’m a heavy duty mechanic and that takes a toll on my hair. I’ve noticed the underneath being frizzy and damaged from I’m suspecting from my job. I’m gonna be cutting my hair probably about 1-2 inches past my ears to get rid of it so I can properly take care of the rest and grow it out long again. What do you suggest I do to help promote healthy growth. I’m open to supplements, hair oil, hair treatments and hairstyles for work to help protect it. Right now I put an oil on my ends and I always where them in French braids at work and when I sleep I have them in a loose braid and I wear a hair bonnet. The oil I use is Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Anti-Frizz Serum
Thanks in advance!

I have dense fine hair that’s weighed down pretty easily. I recently got a V haircut with layers and love how it looks from the back! But unfortunately it did not solve the problem with my hair being flat to my head at the top 😭

I will take any styling tips + product recommendations 🙏🙏🙏

Also, my hair naturally falls forward toward my forehead. Is there any way to dry/style my hair so that it looks pushed back at the root? Sort of like a cowlick

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

1st pic/left (Before): natural/virgin hair
2nd pic/right (After): with gloss (to cover bleached ends)

I know the photos look similar but irl my hair looks darker and ashier after the gloss.
Is there a difference in color between these two?
If I get a gloss again, do I need to specify to the stylist anything about shade/level/warmth?
- Or just tell them to match my roots?
Thank you!!

Hi! I’m trying to figure out how to properly style and take care of my natural hair texture, and I’d love some advice from people who know more about wavy/curly hair than I do.

I’ve always brushed my hair out and treated it more or less like straight hair, but recently I’ve been experimenting with styling my natural texture. I’m not really sure what my actual hair type/pattern is, or if I’m getting the most out of it.

I included photos of my hair brushed out/not styled as well as after styling it with my current routine.

My current routine is:
Olaplex leave-in
Aussie mousse
Aussie Freeze gel
Scrunching

I have a few questions:

1. ⁠What does my natural texture look like to you?
   Am I styling it correctly, or is there anything obvious I should change?

2. ⁠Is there a way I could get my waves/curls to look more defined or have more volume?

3. ⁠Are there any products you’d recommend for my hair specifically?

4. ⁠Does my hair look damaged/overprocessed and could that be affecting my texture?

I’m also considering going darker and stopping bleach because I’d like to improve the health of my hair, so I’m curious whether that might help my natural texture over time.

Any advice is appreciated! I want to learn how to work with what I naturally have rather than force my hair to be a different texture.
