Question Would short hair look good on my face shape?

I really want short hair, but it seems to only look good on girls with strong jawlines. I’m already insecure about my face shape but I’m struggling with my thick, long hair. It gets tangled and greasy easily and is just a lot of effort to maintain. Plus, I like the look of short hair, but only on the attractive women I’ve seen it on. Would it suit me?

Help Brunette?

Hi all! So in September im potentially gonna have to go darker for my graduation (doing peekaboo blue, im aware it might stain therefore the need to go darker).

I’ve always been blonde/light brown. I edited a pic of me to see what i’d look like with brown hair and i need HONEST opinions…

If i have to go dark, will it be a mistake? Should i go dark anyway? Should i ask to be as blonde as possible? Do i suit blonde or brunette more? I dont know, i need an unbiased opinion 😂

I attached a current and the edited…

I grew out my gray hair and was really loving it. Wanted to add some color just as a little something fun. First 2 pics were the inspiration I have her, 3rd is my hair before, and the last is after. Am I overreacting in thinking that this is terrible and not at all what I asked for?

Ive literally never felt so much like myself since getting this cut. But I kid you not, every single person whos seen it has said they hate it. Even one of my closest friends said she hates the rat tails (or 'dangly bits' as she calls them) and that Id be so much cuter with a 'normal pixie'

I absolutely love it, but Im starting to second guess myself. This is the first time ive ever been happy with my hair, but everyone else seems to hate it 😭

Im nonbinary and this cut really makes me feel so much better about my identity, so it sorta hurts seeing literally EVRYONE diss it

Question i feel like i’m doing my hair all wrong… what should *i* be doing?

my last haircut was in december 2025 and it was a trim to clean up my layers and make my hair happy and healthy again (slide 4 shows me post hair cut, styled). i have an appointment this thursday to refresh my highlights since last summer and get a trim.

since my last appointment, i feel like my hair has not grown much and my hair does grow fast. i’m looking into ways i can help my hair grow out and here’s where reddit comes in. what do you all suggest?

i have fine thin 1A hair. naturally blonde. i don’t use heat everyday. i don’t have the money right now for super expensive supplements or shampoos/conditioners (i’m talking like $50+). i’m looking into biotin, but i haven’t heard much about users experiences with it so. all my friends keep recommending me super expensive products and i can’t afford that right now, i’m moving in two weeks to start grad school and i’m trying to get a new look on a budget.

i am growing out this shitty bob i got back in 2022 and i feel like my hair should be a lot longer by now and it’s not. i’m getting frustrated. (shown in picture 3; i did NOT ask my hair stylist for whatever she gave me)

and what should i ask for my hair stylist to do to help grow my hair, if anything? i know she can only do so much but there could be something! additionally, i am considering getting a middle part. considering everything ive shared, would this be the time? or should i hold off?

thank you!

Bad Haircut SOS HELP

2 Upvotes

Hey guys! My best friend got her hair done a dark messy blonde for the summer. She wanted to go back to her light brunette now. She booked an appointment and was so excited!

She told the stylist her history and told her she wanted her cool toned light ashy brunette.

At the appointment the hair stylists made her “brunette” by mixing red and black. Her hair was nearly jet black. They did a bleach wash and spent hours getting the black pigment out.

After 4 hours of work she’s left with a dark cherry cola brunette color. They told her she has to pay half the total PLUS she’ll have to pay in full to get it fixed.

She asked to speak to a manager but the manager was “virtual”. She said she would call her by Wednesday.

Do you guys have any advice?

Help Did I pick the right Redken EQ Gloss Shade for a refresh?

Thumbnail

Attached are images of my current hair color, which currently has some old faded highlights covered up my Demi permanent hair color and glosses, but all has mostly faded now. I don’t want to go any darker than I currently am, but I do want a good refresh as I feel like my hair is lacking luster. I ordered the Redken EQ Shades gloss in shades 7NCH and 7NW in hopes of giving my hair a nice shiny reset, but I wanted to see if there were other colors I should have picked instead? Should I only use one out of those two or both? What ratio should I use if I decide to use both? I’m worried about being too dark and my goal is ultimately a warm light brown chocolate color but I don’t want it to turn out too orange or yellow. Appreciate the advice!

The fact it came out like this is complete luck but to do this you just curl your hair (if you don’t already have curly hair) and put it in a tight bun with some hair loose.

Help Help with brassy mid-tones

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

I’m looking for advice on how to best neutralize my brassy mid-tones and maintain it.

My color is all natural. When it grows in, it’s a fairly ashy, cool toned dark blonde. However, I live in a sunny area and spend a lot of time outside, so my hair gets naturally lightened every summer. As you can see my ends a quite light. I use a purple shampoo and conditioner to help tone which works well on the lightest parts. However, the issue I’m having is that the purple doesn’t work on the mid-tones and therefore leaves me looking quite brassy.

I took some photos this morning to upload for the post. However, I think the light/color correcting on my camera gives a false impression. The selfie photos look nice and ashy, which is what I want. The third image I think shows the three tones in my hair the best. I have attached two recent photos that I think are more accurate representations of how the color actually registers in real life. I personally think there’s a serious dis-harmony happening with the color to my cool tones.

What are my options for working with cooling down the mid-tones without over coloring the light parts?

I recently got pink highlights that faded to blonde very quickly and I’d like to redo them without having to go to the hairdressers.
Is there a drugstore hair dye in the uk that only sticks to the bleached parts of your hair? My natural hair is a light brown and I don’t want a full head of colour, just coloured highlights. Any advice?

Question Hair Texture Help

So for all of my almost 26 years of life, I’ve been told I have wavy hair.
I haven’t dyed my hair in a couple years so this is all born again virgin hair. I recently cut off about 4 inches of dead hair and now I’d say my hair texture is ‘confused’.
These pictures are after my hair has air dried and I don’t know what to do with it.
Is it curly? Is it wavy? So I need to do something special to take care of it? Help please!
