So I really want to dye my hair but I've gotten stuck on whether I want a flattering color or something funky regardless of being flattering. I have light medium skin, with olive yellow undertones. I kinda look sickly green a lot of the time. My natural hair is deep dark brown and I have brown eyes. I was thinking of something lie pic rel but it would probably make me look even more sallow. In the past, I had jet black hair that looked harsh and awful. Literally drained all of the color from my face. Green, magenta and purple were my best colors imo.

What hair color is this?
No. 371794
>>371379Sageblog but I dye my hair with that color. It doesn't get brighter like that, but it gives you a cool cooper reddish brown. I have your same skin tone, except I don't look sickly green.
I would use an app to change your hair color, but remember that the color changes with natural or artificial color, so the result might vary in that sense as well.
Good luck.

I use anti-psoriasis shampoo, but is there any permanent fix? I used to be able to go without washing my hair for a week if I could get away with it (I do not do this anymore), but now I have to wash every other day!

>>372365I second with>>372389. Everyone else has good recommendations but don't try a bunch of random things on your scalp if it might actually be something requiring medication.
I have seborrheic dermatitis and it took me forever to recognize what it was. My face usually has small patches so I never thought it could get worse than that. During a really intense stressful time of my life I had an intense sb breakout and all of a sudden my scalp was the same. It scabbed and itched like fucking crazy, it was also embarrassing shedding everywhere. I tried so many products and absolutely nothing help and some just made it worse. I'm not entirely sure what helped my scalp return to normal but a pharmacist gave me steroid cream for my face and after 2 weeks of using it my scalp seemed to clear too. SB is a fungal thing technically, so maybe my face was a
trigger. See a dermatologist!!

>>372365I shampoo my hair twice a session, 3 times a week and while it's shampooed I use a wide teeth comb like picrel to scratch my scalp. I had the same problem and replacing just using my fingers with combs helped me a lot especially when I wash it twice. Don't comb your hair or anything, mine gets super tangled when I comb it while shampooed, but I stick this in my hair and scratch my scalp, take it out and move it to the next part and so on. This got rid of the itch completely for me. Hope this helps, sorry if this was common knowledge that everyone does.

Any ideas on how to modernise hair that has this kind of texture and colour, but not as puffy. I feel as though it makes me look old and retarded.

Apologies for potential a-log.
Nonnas, please tell me if there is a way to fix this male baldness pattern type of shit.
I had this type of empty space since forever, which is inherited from my father. At least he still has hair in his 50's and last year got his first grey hair so I don't worry as much for now.
I fucking hate my hair to the point of wanting to go bald but oh wait, this shit string grows at the speed of a snail so I will look like an oompa loompa for the next 3 - 5 years. And I got the worst of all worlds - curly, frizzy, fine and almost non-existent volume hair. I met more grandmas with healthier hair than mine and I'm 24 for fuck's sake, my hair looks like a fucking broom with no shape.
I tried castor and rosemary oil everytime I'm about to wash my hair to see almost no results for almost a year. Doesn't help that my iron levels are fine when I do the treatment for a month and afterwards it goes back to abysmal levels.
Is kms a good solution kek?

>>373597I'm cursed with AGA myself, if your hairline looks like the left it looks great, I'd kill for mine to look like that, it looks similar to picrel ob both sides now and it's not slowing down
how old are you? my honest advice is to go to a good endocrinologist, get ALL the hormonal shit tested, androgens, DHT, thyroid hormones, iron, vit D and if the doc confirms it's AGA your best bet is going to be spiro+minox especially. If it's PCOS it won't nearly as bad as with AGA.
for myself idk if there's anything I can do to undo the damage, I just want my hair not to fall so much and for that fucking pattern to not advance more. I'm mid 30s and the hairloss skyrocketed in the last 3 years, my hairline wasn't that bad in 2019 and I still had a lot of hair.
>>373606go to another doc, my endocrinologist specifically told me you can have regular periods, hell, your ovaries can even look fine (no cysts) but your body can still act like you have PCOS, you need to take some blood tests

Never went back My periods are regular 90% of the time (and when they aren't, it's because of external stuff like meds) and I am a poster child for PCOS. If you can, get a better doctor. Many doctors, especially older ones, think PCOS is a womb-only thing, when it's actually a metabolic syndrome. Exactly what this anon said

I have thick bangs that have randomly been really prone to being greasy for the past year and if I shower in the morning it becomes greasy in the evening. No shampoo and conditioner helps here in the states and I saw that Asian hair care is good quality. I believe I'm going to try ichikami oil control shampoo unless a nonna has better suggestions. My hair is very straight with ever so slightly waves. As well as I believe it's coming from my scalp since it's most greasy there then what touches my forehead.

>>377339How did your hair turn out nonna? I´m using store bought oils, one from Fable & Mane and one from Yves Rocher (eurofags probably know).
I finally tried the porosity water glass test today but I´m not sure? At first the hair stayed on the surface for probabyl 5 minutes until I pushed it under the surface and then it very slowly sunk. So is it low or high porosity kek I have no curls btw.
No. 377707
>>377339Pick an oil based on your hair type. My hair is super thin and fine and using olive, coconut or shea makes my hair super greasy and brittle, so I stick to thin oils like jojoba or argan. If you've got thicker, dry hair, then go for thicker oils. Imo doing a regular oil treatment that suits your hair is the most important thing, mixing different oils won't change your results too much but it can be fun to make your little concoction.
>>377565The porosity water test is not reliable. Go from your own experience : if your hair takes a lot of time to dry, to get fully wet, and doesn't seem to take moisture in easily, it's probably low po. If you're the opposite, and your hair tend to absorb moisture, but then gets frizzy and dry after some time, you may be high po. If you've bleached your hair, treat it as high po too. There's also medium porosity which is normal, balanced hair, so maybe you don't even have to ask yourself that question. Also be careful of yves rocher oils, they're advertised as jojoba, argan, etc., but they're all mostly scented sunflower seed oil. You'd better go with a 100% pure oil that you can find in a pharmacy, some are not even that expensive, or if you're broke just buy sunflower oil at the supermarket but don't get scammed

Nonnas I just made and did a henna gloss mask for my natural ginger hair and it turned out SO GOOD?! All I did was add about 1/4 cup maybe 1/3 of a very basic organic conditioner (my hair is big n long) with a little dash of a nice leave-in treatment and left it on freshly washed, damp hair for 3 hours. I did a lil cheeky blowout and I could cry at the softness and shine. My hair is normally pretty coarse but it looks like a 90s hair product commercial rn. The color is really nice too, I bet it would be pretty as a color wash glaze over blonde hair.

I got a haircut that's similar to picrel; my problem is that I can't style it to save my life. It also turned out a little too short but I'll just suck it up and wear a cap until it grows out. What should I do to make it look nice once the length is where I'd like it to be? I know close to nothing about styling and the like; I do have a jar of styling clay, which the barber told me is a good way to get more texture.

I have wavy hair and if I don’t get a textured cut, it just lays flat and lifeless. Getting it textured makes it easier to have that “effortless” style.

>>381613Got the same cut and am also masc most of the time. My hair at this length is also straight.
I just scrunch some curl gel in while it's specifically halfway dry and it gives it more body. Smells good too. Scrunching in mousse later when it's almost or fully dry I find gives it even more fluffiness. The label says to do it wet but this works for me.

Any nonnies with very long hair? I want to grow out mine and I want it to reach my mid thigh, by now it grazes my butt and I don't understand why it won't grow more….I take care of it, frequent masks, I only use conditioner on my ends and never on my scalp, I use a scalp massager and I avoid the blow drier. I have 1a hair on the greasy scalp side, it's very resistant to treatments (I dye it bimonthly, it's not super healthy but it looks nice and feels heavy and smooth).
I don't use straighteners/curlers, I barely wash it but only my bangs grow out, not the rest…please help a failed princess achieve her long hair dreams, which is to have braids like picrel…..

>>388756hair is dead protein so i make sure it has less chance of breakage by eating the right foods like eggs/fruit/meat/veg (calorie (protein) restriction will thin the hair so i don't diet), and then put it up into protective styles as i wait for it to grow half an inch every month (the fastest hair will grow is 6"/15cm a year so it's just a waiting game + breakage prevention). before washing i brush it with olive oil so it passes through the brush without catching, i use conditioning masks and hair oil so it remains smooth and doesn't tangle. and if i blowdry i use protective spray and the coldest/luke warm setting. it's at the top of my thigh now and continuing to grow well. according to
chemical and physical behavior of human hair by clarence r. robbins, hair generally grows to a max of 3ft. i also read that dyes may contribute to weakening hair and causing hair splits (when the hair splits as far as 4cm up from the end) leading to breakage, but it would not affect the anagen phase (hair growth).
No. 388961
>>388756This anon
>>388779 is probably right. It's just like how the hair in your eyebrows/armpits/crotch only grows to a certain length. The hair grows for an amount of time (for the hair on your head it's several years) and then it stops growing and after a few weeks to a few months, it falls out and gets replaced by a new hair. The rate of growth and the amount of time your hair grows is mostly genetic. If you're taking good care of it and it's noticeably not growing any longer, it's because it can't.

I feel like having curly hair is so limiting sometimes. Are there any other cuts besides, bob, lob or unflattering pixie cuts? I like the low maintenance of curly hair but I do feel like there needs to be more options. Sometimes I do feel like a troon walking around because low maintenance to me means not trying and having extremely frizzy hair. I kinda want to straighten it without heat or at least make the curls more manageable without a shit ton of product (I can’t afford more hair products or expensive curly specialist cuts). Ugh what should I do, nonnies?

No. 391620
>>391609>>391616fr when i started embracing my curls my hair routine went from wash -> air dry to a multi-step routine + diffusing lmao i’ve never been higher maintenance in my life
that being said i’ve found that the cut that works best for me without having to do my whole hair routine (but still looks good when i do) falls about an inch below my collar bone with medium-length layers on top, hitting between my earlobes to about an inch below my jaw. it gives me decent movement and volume while still allowing for more elaborate updos and air dries pretty long with waves and a few ringlets (for reference, when i diffuse at this length the shrinkage ends up leaving my hair around shoulder length)
of course this is all dependent on hair texture, density, and curl type. i have very very fine hair, medium density, low porosity, with big s-waves and loose-to-medium ringlets depending on what part of my head you’re looking at, so if you have a drastically different hair type take this with a grain of salt! if you are ever interested in doing a more elaborate styling routine though i have found some really lovely budget products i swear by that i’d be happy to yap about as someone who has spent most of her life refusing to do anything more than air-dry with no product

It's going to be my first time going for an unnatural color like this and I don't want to go overboard and fry my hair but I also don't want to end up with a burgundy brown instead of a more vivid color.

Also you don't need to mix developer into it, that won't do anything. manic panic is actually pretty kind to your hair and I've never felt any damage after using it, it's the bleach that'll fry you if you use a high volume or leave it on too long.

I fucked up cutting my own hair, and I had to go to a hair salon which I never do. Ended up with a haircut like in picrel but with short bangs. I hate it, and I feel like my whole identity is in shambles now kek. I don't even want to outside now, partly because how short the hair is and partly because styling this haircut is such a pain in the ass. With long hair you can just brush it and go, but with this cut I have to straighten it and use hair wax to look decent.

>styling this haircut is such a pain in the ass. With long hair you can just brush it and goAs someone who's had both waist length and super short hair I always tell women short hair is harder and takes more work, but people don't believe me and still make the mistake of cutting it short because they think it's "easier". No you HAVE to style it every day or it's gonna look like shit, you also lose the natural femininity that comes with long hair so people treat you worse if you don't look put together at all times. Women just don't get away with rolling out of bed and having a badly combed over bald spot like men do. Long hair I could just leave in a braid for days and people would compliment me on how cute it looked, or like you said brush for 1 min and then it looked great. After my bad haircut I decided to grow my hair really long so I didn't cut it for years, I'll never get a short hair cut again.

I recently got some subtle, airy side bangs and I feel like it actually makes my nose look less prominent compared to when I had a completely bare forehead. I think it's because of the volume, most of my forehead is still visible and instead of sitting flat, there's some airiness where my bangs are sticking out a bit. This way, there's some added dimension that balances out my nose. It sticks out less because it's not the only point of forward projection on my face anymore.
That being said I do also have a fairly strong jaw/chin, maybe if you have a receded chin airy bangs would make the lack of volume in the lower half of your face more obvious, idk. Of course, either way
>>392069 should wear whatever she likes, I used to have blunt thick bangs years ago and even though they weren't flattering my face I loved them a lot.

I hate the sleek, clean, defined curls trend. Lately I've been giving myself picrel (but bigger) with the blowdryer and I love it. It's so soft and fluffy and I'm addicted to playing with it. I don't need to stress about humidity because it's already ruined. Don't need to sleep in a cap to protect it. I just tie it back whenever I need to leave the house and I'm done.

Nonnies what do you think of “natural” blonde highlights like this? I have long darkish-brown hair and I was thinking of getting something like this done for the spring/summer, but it would be expensive, so I wanna be sure it’ll suit me. However, I’m not sure about the vibe it gives off. I’m from the southern US and there’s a certain style here of white women (like myself) dying their hair blonde, like the “southern belle” style that I don’t really like. I’m a bit masc and mostly date other women if that helps describe the image I want to reflect

How long is too long? I've been growing my hair out of laziness, now it's almost at my waist. I thought about letting it grow longer and selling it. But I can't help but feel like it's too long. It's not nearly as long as picrel, but that's how I feel like. I usually braid it or tie it up, but sometimes I let it loose and I feel weirded out by it. What would you say it's the limit for long hair?

I have thick curly hair which needs to be layered a lot, so they look quite big and fluffy without teasing, and somehow it happens to be the most flattering hairstyle on me (along with the shoulder length 70s nonsense shag that I currently have because I started an agriculture job and wanted something easier to maintain… I showed up with my stupid twintails on the first day of work though)
It keeps your head cool in summer and you can lay down without being bothered by a ponytail, it also weighs a lot less so no headaches, and you don't need a fuckton of bobby pins to keep your top layers from escaping the tie, it all stays put all day long. I had to style my bangs every day though which could be a downside for someone else but I have to do it with every other hairstyle anyway due to my hair texture, so it didn't change much. Minimal hassle for maximal swag. The only real problem is that men consider twintails to be a sexual thing and a shady guy tried to scout me to do porn once. Shayna wishes she was me

I am having a really hard time with hair products. Idk when they changed but most of them are now giving me a weird reaction when in contact with hot water or sweat when they didn't used to. I get red itchy skin with little bumps, they disappear after I wash it all away but it's really annoying because this happens even in contact with sweat! And a live in a very hot country, I can't just stop sweating kek, it's making me so mad I am fucking paying money for that poison and idk what to do or where to ask.

>>393651I wanted to wear my hair like that for the longest time but I've been bullied for having a big hair and it looking "unkept" despite me actually spending time and money caring for it (and all these hair products suck so much and smell weird), it did shit to my confidence when it comes to my hair. I'm trying to resist the urge to cut it short again because it is so frustrating taking care of it, I really want to grow it long, but God I am so tired of the time consuming perfect little curls, especially when my hair is a freaking mess with different types of curls mixed with straight hair… I might just go "fuck it" and wear it like that, this is what freedom looks like, I can legit "wake up like that".

I used to get unintentional bowl cuts as a kid because they especially failed at cutting thick hair with lots of volume.
What one anon said about some people suiting a certain length is also real. I love long princess hair but I've had short hair since my mid teens because long hair looks terrible on me. It grows into an unkempt mane of Indian hair that's painful to brush through and impossible to style because it's so heavy, so it just ends up being messy Hagrid hair with no volume on top and too much volume below the chin. It makes me look dowdy and matronly whereas short hair on me is cute, playful and flattering.

You need to find the right person to cut it and then never leave that person. That's all i can recommend. idk I think short hair on me looks much cuter than long hair. I did have to change how I posed for pics though, just needed to understand how my profile looked if that makes any sense. I think I was so used to draping my hair around my face that I didn't really know how to pose in the right way for my profile.

I just got my hair highlighted and I think I hate it. It’s chunky with big blonde streaks at the front right next to my natural hair color which is super dark. Will washing my hair help the disparity in color? Please help anons.
I’m working with something like picrel but just image a bright blonde streak at the front of your bangs and then brown right next to it.

> Oil can not hydrate or moisturize your hair, because it does not contain any water
> Silicones are not bad for most hair either, most shampoos can remove them, they create a protective shield on surface of the hair.They are an anti humectant so they retain hairs moisture while creating a barrier to external moisture finally, they also are friction reducer- will prevent breakage from brushing, and blow dry brushing

>>399478Sure, I used to not do anything to my hair either, but I realized just a couple of minutes with a purposefully angled hair dryer can make a huge difference in the amount of lift. Picrel is a traced pic of my hair, I keep it a bit longer on top so that I can get a rounded look, I used to put a little mouse in it but eventually realized my hair doesn’t really need it as long as I blow dry it in the right way. I don’t do anything fancy, I usually just take one hand and hold the little sideburn pieces down to the side of my face (so they don’t get blown the wrong direction) and then on medium to high heat, blast the rest of my hair directly upwards (for bangs, upwards and sideways) for a while so the roots dry facing up-ish which gives the hair the lift I’m looking for. Then I blast downwards for just a half second or so to make sure pieces don’t stick out at weird angles/make sure everything is laying approximately the same direction.
Also, I realized I like this hair cut better with a tiny eency weency bit of extra length at the back of the neck, which you can see in picrel. I think it makes it look more fun and youthful. just imo

I naturally have medium/dark-ish brown hair (closest to 5 on picrel) that I have since dyed really dark brown that almost resembled black when fresh. The color has since faded and the last time I dyed my hair was October. I tried to lighten my hair with the strongest at-home bleach but the color didn't lift at all. (I only did a test strip)
I'm assuming this means I can't bleach hair at home? Do hair dressers have stronger stuff that would be able to lift the color? I'm currently in a hair crisis but I am thinking of a light brown color that wouldn't be possible without bleaching.

Does anyone have any experience using cassia? It's also known as senna or colorless henna (although it's not the same plant as henna). You can't dye your hair with it but it works well as a hair treatment for volume and softness, and if your hair is very light it may give you golden highlights. I'm thinking about buying some but pic related is almost 13€ for only 100 grams, it's not that cheap.
>>401558I think the only problem with a balayage is that you'll need to maintain it with specific products or even going back to the salon every other week to get it touched up so it doesn't look fried. If you live in the northern hemisphere your hair tips may become very dry on summer.
>>401607It doesn't sound like that product was in proper conditions at all, nona. Would you consider using other methods to lighten your hair that don't involve conventional bleach? I know most of them could take you up to a month to get actual results but maybe that's good. A lot of women lighten their hair in a two or three week span, taking some time to moisturize deeply the hair before applying any chemicals again.

I've been trying out curtain bangs inspired by korean hairstyles lately and am learning to style them. I clean them everyday, blow dry then put on a hair roller, wait and fix with some hairspray, then brush it with a comb with some more hairspray to separate the strands. I really like the airy/wispy look like picrel, but even if I can kinda achieve it with styling it clumps almost as soon as I go out and I have to fix them nonstop.

What extensions should I use for my bleached blonde hair?
My hair is really damaged from bleach and I had keratin ones in the past. Besides clip ons cause i cant install myself. I can't cope with having short hair the way people would treat me actually nicely and like a person when I had long blonde extensions is something I need . Idk what to do honestly

im at a loss of what to do with my thick, curly/wavy hair. i was bleaching and straightening for a while which looked best on me but obviously damaged it terribly. its to my armpits now and ive been growing out the brunette/using no heat for a while but even with products and styling i still feel i could look better sometimes and its all my hair
would it be possible to achieve this look with clip in extensions or tape ins? what kind is best? that way i can maybe keep my hair natural but add some length. ive considered wigs but im terrible at applying them. and ive used clip in/tape in extensions before and straightened my hair but it doesnt hold against humidity or rain and its so damaging. though it did elevate my appearance quite a bit. i hate to be so vain i just wish to be more presentable

I have very healthy waist long hair but I actually prefer chin/shoulder length hair. I especially love bobs. I’ve had bobs in the past and loved every moment of my bob experiences. I also have a vintage leaning style and long hair makes me look too modern. The only reason Im hesitant to cut it again is because I constantly get complimented on my long hair and I’m incredibly desperate for validation kek

>>408358Maybe you can try a faux bob? (there's hundreds of other tutorials I just went with the simplest examples) So that way if you change your mind you can unravel the hair. Or if it doesn't have to be waist length levels of long, maybe Veronica Lake type of hairstyles? depending on which time period you're into.

>>408358I think you should try shorter hair at least once in your life if you've never had it! feeling happy with your own hair feels a lot better than having other people be happy with your hair, and you know you've got the genes to grow it back out when you change your mind. I've always had waist length hair and went up to a few inches past my shoulders for the first time and I love how cute my braids and ponytails look now. but then, I'm still working up the bravery to go all the way to bob length and Chappell Roan music videos make me wanna grow it back out so maybe don't listen to me.

>>408822Nonna this is very easy you can absolutely do this! I've done it by accident before (the tiny sheer bangs part) it doesn't suit my face but I think it's a really cute look. Just start by cutting the tiniest amount of bangs like literally taking just a few hairs especially if you have thick hair. You're just cutting like baby hairs essentially. Do it about mid eyebrow length and you can trim more if you want after. Then part your hair all to one side and pull the bang pieces out, stick a clip in it you're done
Ryoko shinohara has her hair in that exact style in the drama Last Cinderella, for some reason I can't find a good pic of it but it's worn that way several times in the movie

blow dry front pieces from side to side and then flatten with a brush and point blow dryer to tip (my attempt to get the hair to stay forward)
then i spray it with some kenra hairspray.

nonnas i need help so bad. please. nobody replied to my hair post and i cant even go on reddit because i cant get enough karma bullshit for advice. ive hated my hair since i was a little and its making me obsessive lately.
naturally my hair is a dark brown and looks like this. however i assume from bleaching it again and straightening it more (i think its more so the straightening without a heat protectant when i forgot one on a week long vacation that really fried the fuck out of my hair because even with bleaching or highlights i still maintained a decent amount of curl)
its not stringy but just frizzy and so dead and dry on the ends. i even cut a bunch off and it wasnt enough. i havent been touching it with any heat or bleach and im just at a loss.
id really like to dye it all a lighter brown and trim more and wear some curly clip in extensions until it grows out. does this sound like a good idea? i love it straight and i love the blonde on me i just feel like i need to take a new route. i can still straighten it sometimes but i just want to feel pretty in my natural hair and not have it in a frizzy low bun that makes me look fucking homeless. i cry so much over it. and im not good with wigs and theyd be awful in the heat. if i ever want blonde i figure i can just try out a wig in cooler weather but i dont think the bleach damage is worth it anymore.
my hairdresser is also out until september so im just at a loss. do i find a new one for now?
tldr my naturally brown curly shoulder hair length has been drier with less curls lately and i have stopped heat and bleach (the bleach is grown out i have about 2-3 inches of fresh hair regrowth) i look homeless so im thinking to trim, dye an all light brown, and grow it out…probably need to see a hairdresser

I have the same issue except my hair isn't curly. I'm going to dye it back to my natural colour, keep getting trims, wait til it grows out. Not much else for it. Go see a different hairdresser, who tf wants to wait months for a haircut out of loyalty to a stylist?? And I don't think you need extensions or a wig unless you're cutting your hair ridiculously short. Maybe you should use olaplex too (I cbf but it supposedly works).

We both admitted it wasn't what I was looking for, but since I'm 1. awkward, 2. it is a really good color and it admittedly DOES look good on me. But as the evening went on the more I hate it because it's not what I wanted.

>>410686it's scary the first time, but get some hairdresser's scissors and do it yourself. you'll need them anyways since keeping these bangs means trimming them every few weeks. the bangs in your picture are a staple in jfashion but if you ask a hairdresser for it outside of japan they'll assume you want either thin bangs or the super wide zooey deschanel fringe.
make an even n-shaped part like picrel. if they're too wispy, add more hair into the top of the part (from further back on your head). also if your hair isn't stick-straight it may just need some styling tbh

>>411143They require root touchups every 3 months or so (how often you go in for touchups depends on if you want them looking extremely neat at the root or if you are okay with the roots growing out a bit) and they do need a deep vinegar cleanse once a year. Obviously, you shower as normal with them provided you have a clarifying shampoo (you don't use conditioner or it creates buildup).
To me, this is so much easier than my old routine. You already are saving so much time in terms of not needing to style your hair daily. If I tried to wear my hair naturally in the past, the curly girl "routine" after I'd wash my hair took hours to complete when I didn't have dreadlocks. For me, it wasn't worth wasting a whole weekend (okay, I'm exaggerating a little, it would take about a whole day at least since my hair does NOT dry. It takes 7-10 hours to dry on average when I used the curly girl method). If you learn to do root maintenance yourself, it's nice because them you also don't need to pay someone to do your maintenance for you. I guess the only other consideration is that you'll want silk pillowcases at least to avoid lint buildup.
if you work out, you can spray your scalp with a mild vinegar/distilled water mix to keep your scalp fresh. I've never had to do that since I don't sweat that much in general.
Again, it's all about perspective. If you like your hair the way it is and it looks neat, that's obviously the easiest method of all. I just find it far easier to have dreadlocks than to have to style my hair to avoid it looking frizzy.

I'm gonna go insane, I haven't changed anything to my hair routine but for the past few weeks it's been getting bad. It started feeling waxy/sticky, heavy and gross at the back after washing, now it's spread to more of the lengths and almost the whole back of my head. It's so embarrassing that I have to tie my hair all the time, when I usually have nice, thick wavy hair with sort of ringlets at the ends. Now it looks all dull and disgusting. I asked for help at a beauty store and they gave me a light, natural, silicone-free shampoo I've been making the switch to but it's getting even worse. Tried putting on less shampoo, more, rinsing abundantly, it's not changing. Anyone ever had this happen?

wtf can i do with my hair if it naturally dries like picrel? i absolutely hate how the bottom parts are always curling upwards especially the shorter i cut it.. i always had wavy hair but about a year ago it completely changed and now i don't know what to do with it anymore. i know hormones can change your hair but i don't want to style it every day from now on.. is there some sort of short hair style that could minimize the appearance of this weird ass pattern? my hair is thin and fine so i can't do layers. should i just let it grow out? or just take the L and start styling it every day? the problem is my lifestyle doesn't really allow me to style my hair because i either travel or spend a lot of time in the water so it would just dry in this stupid way every time. is there maybe a mousse or some sort of leave-in product i could use?
the pattern is actually so strong that even keratin treatment didn't work, it just curls up regardless what i do with it (even if i straighten it, by the end of the day it goes back even if my hair didn't get wet). i'm absolutely losing my mind, i was never this frustrated with my hair..

A bit silly but it helps with tangling a lot.

Guys, how do I dye my hair? I've always wanted to dye it but have no idea how or where to start.
Do I go to the salon or is it doable at home? How do I not fuck up and how would I maintain it? Are the drug store box dyes sufficient or should I splurge and buy ones from the beauty stores? I've never dyed my life and so I have not clue how to go about this. I'm kind of retarded when it comes to beauty products.
If it matters, I have 2b hair that's low porosity at neck length.
I've always been a tiny bit jealous of family members who were born with jet black hair meanwhile I got born with a boring brown which kind of makes me feel generic and ignorable. I think black just looks better and feel that it would make me pop out a bit more.

>>430098i’m not ayrt but i’m on adderall. is hair loss a side effect? i had no idea.
>>429885i use neutrogena t-sal ($8) for my first cleanse, which helps with the build-up of flakes on my scalp, followed with walgreens brand t-gel ($9) (neutrogena discontinued their t-gel last year) that alleviates the itchiness. i lather both with a silicone scalp scrubber and let both sit for 5 minutes before rinsing.
the only downside to these shampoos is that my curl pattern has suffered since i started using them 2 years ago, and they’re pretty drying. but every other shampoo gives me flakes and itchiness again. also, t-gel smells like coal tar.

Sorry nonnies for being somewhat retarded, but I have a hard time sussing out what might be fake/exaggerated in video form. I want to know if the video (3rd "frame" of the product pictures here
https://www.sephora.com/ca/en/product/crown-affair-the-texturizing-air-dry-hair-mousse-P511489?skuId=2766053&icid2=products%20grid:p511489:product&country_switch=ca&lang=en but the first video) is realistic, the one where she starts by saying "I'm low maintenance with my hair, so I love using the twist and clip air dry method". Is it ever actually that simple? One product? Is it kind of "unspoken" that she has a ton of other products in her hair or maybe she blow dried it with a dryer and brush off camera? And would she finish this off with hair spray to keep the style, or is mousse the end of it?
I don't know enough about different hair products to know what the capabilities of mousse are so please help a nonna out who can only really register that still images are super nonrepresentative (probably)

nonnie, I have sebderm too and have had it for 10+ years, it's really important to know what
triggers it
for me stress, carbs, sugars and high fats are a big no, so diet plays a huge key in regulating it
I did notice that when I have gut issues, my scalp gets greasy real fast and I get dandruff, plus even more hair loss
secondly, you need a good shampoo that doesn't strip/irritate your scalp. I have had success with ketoconazole shampoos, those were a godsent when my sebderm degenerated
I highly recommend visiting a GOOD dermatologist if you can though
If your hair is super dry: coditioner and an oil to lock in moisture have worked for me.

I have wavy hair that I cut in an angled bob, short on the back, long on the front, with curtain bangs. It got long now and I'm thinking of cutting it, but I'd like to change my bangs because they're so inconvenient despite how cute they look, they get into my eyes, mouth and nose when I don't pin them back, whch just obscures their form. Should I get shorter bangs that cover my forehead? What kind of hairstyles can I do to still get to style my bangs but in a convenient way? I have a semi heart shaped semi diamond shaped face with prominent cheekbones and chin, and a long midface if that helps. Picrel is close to what my hair naturally looks like irl and the current length. I never use straighteners or hair blowers to style my hair, just a wooden comb, is there a way to style it with my usual tools? I also love using hair clips and sometimes use rubber hair ties to do that y2k look with my bangs and tie the rest of my hair in twin tails.

>>435983If your hair doesn't have problems with frizz and you can confidently maintain your waves it won't be a problem, just make sure you go to a reputable hairdresser and get the layers blended really well. You hair might sit weird unstyled for a week or two jsyk.
I have wavy hair, got a shag, and my biggest gripe is how I can't really keep it moisturized at the same time because the shorter layers are closer to my scalp and putting conditioner on my scalp means I will have greasy-ass hair on the second day. I really do not think shags are super beneficial towards growing out hair, but if you're happy with the length you're at then it's no biggie. They're really cute once you get the hang of it.

Hi Nonnas, I'm having some problems with my scalp recently. I've recently developed a stinky scalp after never having the issue before - the smell is like cat food or cheese I suppose. It's pretty gross. My bf also developed a stinky scalp around the time so I thought it might be fungal (gross I know), but nothing has managed to get rid of it for either of us.
What I've tried so far: replacing our bed pillows and washing the linens more regularly (pillow cases get washed twice a week), bleaching our towels, replacing and washing brushes, multiple rounds of dandruff treatment shampoo with ketaconazol, and generally increasing shampooing. I have really dry hair and I feel like it actually gets worse the more dry my hair is, which makes me feel like it's a sebum overproduction issue. I also considered it may be diet-related, however my boyfriend and I have very different diets with little overlap, so I don't think that could be the issue. I also drink a ton of water every day.
The only thing that has slightly improved the situation is using a few drops of tea tree oil in my shampoo and letting it sit on my hair for a bit, then shampooing again and absolutely slathering my hair in conditioner. However this only holds the smell off, as my scalp will still smell again as soon as I do any physical activity that results in sweating.
I typically use a rosemary clarifying shampoo and scalp brush when I wash my hair, and now sometimes the dandruff shampoo - though I don't have any "real" dandruff, and it really dries out my scalp which seems to make the smell worse. I also blow dry my hair after a shower. Any ideas?? I have a really strong sense of smell and it's absolutely driving me nuts. I can smell it as soon as I step out of the shower, and the smell becomes more noticeable if I sweat.

>>443118The opposite actually kek, I've always had some type of bangs. However, this is the first time in my life trying to embrace my natural texture without straightening the shit out of it. I failed to mention that my baby bangs have grown out to a side bang kinda length. Hair rn looks like picrel. I know the straightened side bang with curly hair is a VERY dated look, but I think it's cute and fits with my face. If I leave my bangs curly, it looks retarded because the curl pattern is so tight. I've tried brush styling the curls so they dry away from my face but they're so disobedient kek. Clips aren't an option because I get headaches from any sort of tension on my scalp. I think I may just have to accept that the flat iron is a necessary evil.

How do I keep my straight hair from turning into a horrible matted mess at the base of my neck? I wrap my hair up to sleep and that works but when I wear it loose, it mats up in just a couple of hours when I'm just walking around casually. It's extremely fine so I've struggled with leave-in products in the past because it tends to look greasy when I use them.
