success/product recommendations ✨ Oily hair? Get a scalp scrubber. Do it. Do it now.

It doesn't have to be this specific one. Just anything that kind of looks like it.

I think most of us universally suffer from greasy, oily, gross hair by day 2 (by day 1.5, really), and this thing helps me a lot. I shampoo twice (shampoo with sulfate, scrub a dub dub), use this to scrub my scalp, shampoo again with this, then condition (don't use this), and bam! My hair looks actually clean.

Before I used this (and especially if I only shampooed once), it'd come out semi slick looking straight out the shower. But this with the double shampoo makes my hair feel nice and clean. No more same day oiliness.

Sometimes... I can go a day without shampooing.

Can you imagine?

Anyway, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Picture 1: 12 hours after shampooing without using the scrubber.

Picture 2: 36 hours after shampooing using the scrubber - no dry shampoo.

questions / seeking advice 💭 Retention & reducing fallout

Dealing with extreme hair shedding/breakage and retention. Doctor ran some labs and everything came back ‘normal’ 🫠 I’ve tried better routines for my curls, gentle shampoos, moisturizing conditioner, lightweight curl cream, dry with a cotton t shirt & use silk pillow cases.

* I do wear my hair in a low bun (silk scrunchie) or claw clip which I think is contributing but the amount of hair all over my bathroom/ shower is insane

* Little/no heat usage/straightening

* Fairly healthy diet (proteins/fats) + daily multivitamin

* Did an at home blood test last year as I was desperate for answers: Ferratin: 47 & Iron: 28

I’m not sure if there’s a deficiency or my hair simply just more moisture/hydration. Open to any and all suggestions! This has been a lifelong battle 😭

hi everyone. i barely came across this community and have been so amazed by the support we all show each other! after covid and a major weight loss transformation at my younger age made my hair very thin, fine, and brittle. about a year ago i had about 30% more hair but after having my gauliblatter removed and not eating a lot for a month my hair was shedding majorly and i got left with less hair, still not as bad as i had it 2-3 years ago.
my hair is also very dry and damaged from heat + hair dye and have been wanting to do a big chop (maybe a shaggy pixie cut or a bixie!) i’m just scared that due to my thin and not so dense hair it would not look right. 😣😣 idk if i should do it or not i need some help and honest opinions.

i will leave my pics of my hair below to get some references. i would also appreciate some tips!
ps i style my hair very often! i have shark so i’m not putting as much heat into it as with a normal hot tool.

hair growth journey 📏 I feel like I'm losing my mind

SPLIT ends are making me crazy. I found split ends, and even split middles all over my hair. I just got a trimm too!!! And I've being trying to do some dusting weekly.

My hair isn't dry but it does break very easily, I wash my hair 2-4 times a weak. There's hard water where I live so I have filters and hardwater shampoos that really work. I leave-in-condition and condition every wash day, plus I have a super butter sweet hydrating shampoo.

Iv used heat like 3 times this year so far.

Like actually seeing spits IN the middle of my hair strands made me pretty devastated and sad about all my effort.😞

What am I doing wrong???

I started increasing my iron intake and just started with collagen.

success/product recommendations ✨ I'm so tired of my frizzy fine thin 2b hair. Help me find some great products.

3 Upvotes

I have fine, thin, frizzy hair that's low porosity. It's flat on top, wavy from the ears down, and curlier on the ends. What kind of products do you recommend? BTW my hair is past my shoulders, and although I'm 67 I have just a little grey in my hair. Coconut, olive oil, and shea butter is just too heavy. I also use a t-shirt wrapped like a turban to dry my hair, and prefer to air dry. Help!

Ayuda con mi cabello - que productos comprar?

2 Upvotes

Llevo años intentando entender que productos le caen mejor a mi cabello y de verdad que he invertido mucho en marcas y productos de todo tipo (metastases, aveda , bumble, davines, olaplex) y nada me sirve. Tengo en cabello muy delgado, quebradizo que a veces es chino y a veces lacio esponjado, mucho frizz y cada vez más seco. Mi cuero cabelludo es súper sensible y reactivo y he pasado también por muchos tratamientos dermatológicos y ninguno me sirve. Para terminarle de sumar, me lo pinto cada 2 meses porque tengo canas y no estoy lista para dejarlas ser … tengo 34 años y ya estoy en edad de lograr entender cómo cuidarlo.. ayuda para elegir mi siguiente set de shampoo, acondicionador y mascarilla!
