>>43591I spent a lot of money on keratin treatments and other products after I dyed my hair back to brown from being blonde. None of them really worked so I chopped it all off and got extensions. The extensions were only there for a few months until it got to a short bob. It was worth it and fun to have long Rapunzel hair.

>>43591When I got my hair bleached the first time (they actually did it 3 times, because the hair was black) I started using diy hair masks. One that really helped was egg, milk and honey. Sounds gross and smells like it but it helped somewhat to get the moisture back.
Whatever you use, just keep using it, it takes a while for the hair to repair itself.

>>43591There really isn't a way to completely cure or fix damage on hair, since it's already dead when it grows out of the skin. Products with silicone can fill the gaps in the hair and make it seem smoother and thicker, but some people just don't like silicone in their hair. I abused my hair until it literally burned off about an inch, I've tried everything for about a month but still I'm getting the damaged ends cut off. Treatments can fix some of the hair so you don't need to cut off as much, but there is no real miracle fix. I've been using ton of conditioner (no silicone), oil before washing, washing my hair 1-2 times per week, making sure to eat healthy and I've let it be natural, no heat, blowdrying or any styling/coloring products. It has made it better but I still have to cut off quite a bit. I'm never bleaching my hair again, especially not 4 times in one summer. Very stupid thing to do, learn from my mistakes and burned hair.

For just a plain protectant, Tigi/Catwalk makes a good one that doesn't leave much of a product-y feeling afterwards. Wella's Eimi styling line also has a decent one. My favorite stylers are from the Colorproof line (everything from them has heat protection), but it can be a hard brand to find + expensive.
If you're looking for something with a good hold, especially if you have fine hair that hates holding curls, I suggest Redken's #22 Hot Sets

I don't have a "proper" haircut, it's basically the basic long hair with side swept bangs. The only suggestion I have is this: i started applying a tiny bit of hair mousse into my bangs before blow-drying and it has helped me a lot. It looks a ton better. You can apply it to your entire hair, of course.

No. 43608
>>43607I'm bleaching anon. When I bleached my hair the first time, the damage was minimal since I let my hair soak in coconut oil for about 2 hours before I bleached it. The coconut oil acts like a barrier for the extensive damage. Try not bleaching everything in one sitting, and don't use anything more than 20 if not 30 developer; anything more WILL fuck up your hair entirely. When in doubt, go to a professional. My hair went from being about 30 inches to 14 inches, mainly because I cut off that much to save whatever was left. Ironically enough, what damaged my hair was color oops after I dyed it for a job. Worst mistake. Just a tip for anyone, if you're ever in a position where your hair is at risk, buy a wig. It'll save you so much time, damage, and effort. I used to be so careful about my hair and how I kept it, and after awhile, I was like fuck it. Hair grows back, so there's never really a need to stress. Keep us updated on how your hair goes!

Buy a serum that helps keep your hair straight. The one I own is Straight Talking from Mark Hill. It's pretty good. I put it on after I wash and dry my hair, and when I straighten it, it comes out pretty straight. To hold the straight, I'd recommend a little bit of pomade to hold it together.

>>54876Hi anon,
Which lush henna did you use? Since there are no metallics salts, it won't react to bleach and make your hair smoke off. They do however mix henna with indigo to get different shades of red and brown.
If you used anything darker than a light bright pure copper (the colour of natural henna) there's a chance that indigo is in your hair. This can be a problem because it doesn't lift as well as pure henna and as you get lighter you could find your hair coming up stained dirty blue/green under the henna.
If your hair is just straight henna'd with no indigo then you can bleach no problem but it might have an orange cast that's hard to tone out compared to the roots - also the quality and thickness of your hair might decrease as a result of breaking down the henna (henna thickens and protects the strand as you know - it can be jarring when you lose that thickness!)
But if you're fine with that, then go for it! Good luck anon.
Side note - if anyone else is thinking of henna-ing their hair I would definitely recommend using 100% BAQ henna over the Lush stuff - you get better control over what goes in your hair, it's cheaper, it's simpler to bleach or dye over, and you tend to get a more even/rich result too :)

I'm getting this haircut tm (not a first, I've had this cut before). Only difference is that it's going to be shorter in the back, and longer in the front. I'm having trouble getting volume in my hair, it tends to either be stripey or super static. I've tried mousse, blowdrying and brushing with my head upside down, sprays…but nothing works.

Opinions on growing out hair that's been color treated/bleached?
My hair is currently about an inch below my armpits. About a year ago I bleached it and I've been growing it out ever since (no coloring, no bleach heat protectant ect.) I like the dark ash blonde I have growing in. But I feel like it clashes with the weird faded blonde that's the rest of my hair.
My question is, should I risk the money to try to color match the rest of my hair to my natural color so it will be easier to grow out? Or just let it grow naturally and avoid the damage/possible mess-ups that could occur with a color change.
For reference, my hair looks very similar to the image

I've had blackbrown-black hair for approx 8 years (naturally blonde) and I want to eventually go to a ashy brown. I dye my roots once every 2nd month(very rarely use heat shit etc) so it's in pretty good shape considering the circumstances.
I will probably go to a salon to get it professionally done, but do you guys have any tips for what I can do before/in between the dye-jobs to make the process faster and better?
No. 56155
>>55886Probably if you used one of those dye removers it would take most of the color out (especially if you're natural blonde), meaning the hairdresser wouldn't have to bleach it out, and you would end up with the same color and much less damage. I got my hair from blue-black to natural auburn with only two boxes and it felt great. Those things STINK though, they have lots of sulfur.
Otherwise do everything you can to preserve the health of your hair like:
sleep in a hair net
get a silk pillowcase
don't cook it in the sun
trim ends regularly, and keep them braided and away from the general environment
when you use a hair mask, pat hair dry with a t shirt, apply mask, then cover it with a shower cap to let it soak in. if you don't have a shower cap i just use cling film

i need major hair help. it's damp in these pics so it's usually curlier when dry and even longer when i straighten it. though thin, i have quite a lot of it.
i've been growing it out for years and while i love it it's just not practical. i work in hospitality so it has to be pulled back. i usually do a top bun (which makes me look like i'm balding) or a long braid down the back. i'm sick of both of those and the top knot hurts my hairline and i feel like it's making my forehead even bigger lol.
as you can see i have a massive forehead and square face. the obvious answer is bangs but my problem with that is what kind? i can't really do blunt bangs because that would be too much work and they would just frizz up in my sweat on my face when i work.
ideally i'd like some bangs or at least front pieces i can pull out to frame my face. but idk if i have too much hair or what but any pony i try just hurts my head and gets all over the place. maybe i'm just not good at styling it.

What can I do for my disaster of hair? They're naturally shapeless (not straight, not curly, just an uneven mess) and if it was this alone I'd be like "Okay, I can just straighten it or something", but no.
It's frizzy as fuck, like, I straighten it and it only takes a bit of humidity in my own home to make the frizz monster come back. My hair also look dull and damaged, even though they're not dyed nor stressed out with treatments/heat.
I know it may seem a basic, almost dumb question, but please send me advice. Some anti-frizz product that works, DIY masks, anything that works. For example, I noticed that when I get out of my hairdresser my hair look nice, soft, bright and all good things. So it's a matter of products, I think.

>>56655i'm the anon above with the long hair and while it looks shit in that picture (it was damp) it's actually really healthy despite it's long length. BUT it's a pain in the ass to maintain.
a lot of people recommend sulfate/silicone free but i tried those for like 2 years and they made my hair worse so keep in mind your hair type and that those may not work for everyone.
what i do is: wash only once or twice a week with shampoo, the rest of the time wash with water and follow with conditioner on the ends(or dont wet at all). dry shampoo will be your friend.
whenever you can, like if you get home in the afternoon and aren't leaving the house til the next day, put a hair mask in and leave in overnight or til that night. it can be DIY like olive or coconut oil or a drugstore mask or nice salon mask. i've used em all and tbh i don't think the salon ones are worth it. anyway, just keep that in for at least a few hours, wash out, and follow with condtiioner.
also, when you condition, leave a little bit in. don't rinse out all the way.
dry hair with a microfibre towel (i like the turbie twist thing) and don't rub it. air dry whenever possible. i also follow with treatment sprays when my hair is wet after a shower.
it is a lot of work tbh but it's made it so that the damage is gone.
honestly it sounds like a big part of the issue for you is environment (humidity) so i would definitely use a styling product with silicones to seal the cuticle and a gentle hairspray. that should help a bit, along with keeping it healthy as possible.

>>56648I have very similar hair and I have to admit it's a nightmare situation.
The first thing you have to decide is whether you want to have straight hair or to nurture your natural curls/waves, since both need/use very different care equipment.
I'm a lazy asshole so my go to is either forking over the money for the 7 month keratin treatments so my hair is pin straight with no heat, which I don't do regularly. Or I focus on developing my waves and do a no fuss system of washing once a week (I have a slow oil production so I can get away with it) and in the shower use regular shampoo but I try to get a nice argan oil conditioner and I slather that on, like I go through x3 the amount of conditioner I go through compared to shampoo. Then I leave it in for a long time and wash it out. As soon as I get out I dry my hair a little with a towel and immediately comb it. I also try to use a nourishing serum while combing, either coconut oil or I test out random brands (John Frieda frizz ease is my favourite serum to put in). Then I separate my bangs and put them in a roller, and braid the rest in two pigtails and let it dry overnight (I only wash my hair at night). Some days I take it farther and will pin the braids to my head or do pin curls and wrap everything in a scarf so that the serum I used really works and I end up with really shiny and wavy pretty hair the next day. Oh and I take the curler out of my bangs when they get dry (usually 20 mins out of the shower) and let them settle overnight so it isn't crazy 80s bangs. I try to use heat as little as possible and it really does look nice and luscious like beach waves. Oh and I only brush my hair every 2/3 days.
If you want to emphasize your curls and waves, you basically have to do a similar washing style, but then try to comb the hair in the shower. Then when you get out dry your hair with a cotton shirt and get a good curling mousse (currently trying to find a good brand for me). You can also add a serum for curly hair before or after the mousse to keep moisture in. Do all of this bending over while scrunching your hair. You will notice wavy larger strands of hair starting to form. Those are your natural curl patterns and you have to make sure not to separate them so they don't become frizzy messes. Add some more mousse/serum to those wave strands by lightly running over them, you want to manipulate them as little as possible. Then just go about and let your hair air dry. This works better for me during the day because then my head doesn't flatten the curls at night. Depending on your mousse you might end up with normal curls or crunchy ones. Those need to be worked out a bit so they aren't gross sticky curls with product. But you end up with really pretty wavy curly hair with lots of volume.
No. 56685
>>56666The anon who talked about the no-brushing here;
I used to get really bad knots and tbh I chopped off my hair (it was thigh length) to shoulder length because most of my knots were caused by just damaged hair due to lack of care. I haven't gotten them since. Oh and a big contributor to my damage/knots was that I was really self conscious of my hair so it was always in a low ponytail and I got the knots from the area around the hair tie, so maybe you're doing something similar that is contributing?
Or if yours just happen you just can't do the no brush method. It'll be annoying but everyone is different and you're just someone who has to brush your hair, nothing wrong with that. I would say try getting a brush or comb that is veriy uninvasive, and you might just have to spend a long time drying and straightening your hair once or a couple of times a week so you can brush it while it is straightened.
No. 56691
>>56676I wouldn't do this, doing that to your hair while it's wet is way more damaging. Use a leave in conditioner and brush it dry instead.

Guys, I really don't know whether to cut my hair or not.
At the moment it comes down past my bellybutton to my hip bones and I've always liked my long hair but lately I've kinda become bored with it. I have a lot of it, but it's fine and dead straight so I often have trouble getting it as voluminous as I want.
I'm thinking of getting something like pic related, but I'm really afraid it will look flat and gross. I dig the voluminous, textured look.
My hair has been long for years so I'm also scared of regretting it if it ends up looking like shit. I've done that a lot in the past just cutting my bangs.
I don't really know how to describe my face shape. Like a soft square maybe? My jaw kind of comes out slightly wide but I have high cheekbones that stick out so my forehead/jaw/cheekbones aren't all aligned straight. My chin is pretty small and not pointed either.
All I know is straight bangs look awful on me and make my face look huge.
No. 56725
>>56724Shorter hair tends to be better for fine hair. Not super short if you don't want, but definitely not super long. The weight of your hair will pull it down and make it lay flatter against your scalp. It's easier to texturise and volumise shorter hair because you're up against less weight.
Once your hair hits your collarbones shoulders, there's no real difference in how flattering it is on your face if it's the same style. Layered hip-length hair will be as flattering as layered chest-length hair.
My advice would be to go shorter but maybe compromise and cut it to chest length with subtle layers. You'll get rid of some of the weight and get an opportunity to see how this changes styling but you won't have a hugely different style that you'll hate. If you're feeling brave, go for it though!
To add some texture or volume, try wax instead of gel, a salt spray or blow dry some volume into it. Don't wash it everyday and don't weight it down with too much product or product that's too heavy.
No. 56732
>>56725Thank you for replying!
I think cutting to chest length is a good idea. I even like how chin length looks in the same style as the picture I attached, but I wouldn't go that far, at least not just yet.
But I've lived with long, heavy hair for so long and I'm so over it looking flat all the time! If it needs to be chopped off to get some bounce and fullness back into it, then so be it. I figure if Marzia/PewDiePie's gf can do it and look great, then hopefully there's a chance for me.
Thanks for the advice!

>>56724I have the same hair type, long dark fine and flat hair, and also a soft square face! and I got this hair cut maybe two years ago and I loved it. I used a flat iron most days for texture and sea salt spray. It did make me more conscious of my face though mostly because i had it a little too short, I think, that was my only regret. go for it but don't get it cut any higher than the bottom of your face!
Also feeling how light your head is after years of having long hair is mindblowing 10/10

No. 57003
>>57002you don't have to go back completely to black, but adding any kind of pigment (dying it something darker) back into your hair after stripping it (bleaching) will help, even if its just a couple shades darker, plus in general darker hair hides damage better. All the hair on your head more than likely wont ever be all that healthy, so your best bet if you want to keep it would be to focus on making it look good + babying it to prevent further damage. if you want to continue having light hair i suggest either 1. going to a professional to have them lighten your roots for you (and dye your hair if they offer the color you want) or 2. if youre doing it yourself do it in like 2-3 steps over the course of a couple weeks/months. ive also heard of people putting coconut oil in their hair before bleaching to help minimize damage. a couple extra tips on babying damaged hair would be to dry it in a cotton teeshirt after your shower(softer on hair), dont brush it when when wet, dont wear it in tight updos and avoid heat styling like the plague. i have like 7 inches of hair right now thats probably in a similar health condition to yours and doing all that + what i listed in

>>56996Ok, so here's my advice:
-OLAPLEX, seriously, if you can find a salon near you, a professional Olaplex treatment will help immensely. If you don't have the money for that, see if you can at least get a hold of the #3 treatment. (Make sure to apply it on damp and DIRTY hair for at least 4 hours). I honestly thought this shit was a scam until I tried it. It's not gonna make you feel more moisturizer btw, but it'll help reseal the cuticles.
-Invest in a nice, moisturizing, gentle shampoo. Conditioners and oils and leave ins are great, but you'll lose their effects if you're using a subpar shampoo. I really recommend Loma, Moroccan Oil, and Colorproof.
-Learn to blow dry properly with a round brush. I know everyone always says to avoid heat, but honestly once you damage it you're never going to be able to hide that damage without a little styling. Full stop. Use a good leave in cream with heat protection and maybe a light hold. Dry with a paddle brush until mostly dry, detangle, clip into sections and work through piece by piece with the round brush. To prolong the style, sleep in braids or loose ponys and try to use a satin pillow case.
Pic related: I went from dark brown, to white, to various blondes, to auburn and managed to keep my hair's integrity. These things really helped me.

>>57003>>57004>>57008you three are saviors, this thread is so helpful, thank you so much. But where do I start now? Like what do I do first out of these things? also 57008 I'm amazed at how unfrazzled your blonde looks, this is incredible
So box dyes are bad, again, what to do first?
No. 57036
>>57020Well you don't want to bleach it out anymore, it's already pretty wrecked. Like the other anon said honestly your best bet is to get to a professional regularly and see what they can do for you to salvage your hair and make it look as good as possible until the damage grows out and continue having them do your dye job beyond that as well, because it's just going to look better than box dye. If you can't afford professional help, condition as much as possible, avoid shampooing except when dirty/greasy, and use leave-in conditioner afterwards. Try to avoid heat as much as you can. Deep condition/mask once or twice a week.
As for going dark to hide the damage - again, box dye is just adding more damage to your hair. If you're really strapped for cash try going to a cosmetology hair school, they're much cheaper and since going dark is pretty standard, they're not going to mess up your hair.

>>57008but I believe Olaplex is generally used to help prevent damage when bleaching hair (used during and after bleaching). Japanese straight perm makes hair stick straight (forever) and keratin smooths hair (removes frizz and makes hair healthier, but washes out over time).
I researched Olaplex, but never tried it because of the price, but if you are going to bleach your hair regularly or more than 2 shades from your natural color, it's probably a good investment.
>>56996>>56997Your hair looks really damaged, but not much more than mine used to be. Like you, my hair was naturally dry and frizzy even if I didn't dye or bleach it.
I'm
>>56659>>56660anon and just use keratin treatments (do it myself) and "nicer" hair products (basically anything without sulfates/parabens and with keratin or something smoothing). I didn't have to cut all my hair off like some people suggest. The keratin cured my hair amazingly, and as a plus it grows in a dark/medium blonde color now (from dark brown)…AND it comes in oily, when it used to be dry my entire life. You might want to trim the ends of your hair to prevent split ends moving further up the strands, but again, you can just do that yourself with a professional pair of hair scissors.
If you don't want to have to pay salon prices for everything and keep dying your own hair, I am with you (no idea how you feel about this, but sounds like you enjoy dying your own hair like I do). I stopped going to salons completely because they always fucked up my hair (even the expensive ones). Bleaching your own hair (properly) will be a lot less damaging than most salons imo.
Like
>>57008 recommended, definitely try the Olaplex if you can afford it. If not, then you can use coconut oil (saturate hair 2 hours before bleaching, then apply bleach OVER the coconut oil in your hair). This can come out a little brassy, but it seems you already like warmer hair tones, so shouldn't be an issue. Likewise, if you want to be extra gentle with your hair, then try getting highlights every few weeks until you lighten to a color you like. THEN dye it that pink/red color. Make sure not to wash your hair for like 3 days prior to bleaching too. BTW, when giving yourself highlights, there is really no reason to go platinum and then tone down if you'll be dying your hair a warm tone anyway. Just lighten to a tone that would be nice for dying a red/pink color (obviously the lighter the hair, the brighter the color). Good luck!!

>>57033Olaplex is a treatment to help repair damage. It won't straighten or smooth your hair if it's naturally curly or wavy. Essentially what it's doing is reconnecting broken bonds in the hair without heat or extra damage. The professional steps are sometimes mixed into due and bleach mixtures to help keep the integrity of the hair while the chemical process is going on.
So if your frizz is from damage the Olaplex can help because of its repairitive properties. Otherwise if the frizz is just "natural" it's probably just a sign of dehydration and improper curl maintenance. Thick or thin hair isn't really an issue with this treatment.

>>57586As someone who used to have naturally dark hair (my hair grows in lighter now), I used to bleach it blonde and it was always healthy. UNTIL the hair salons started changing the way they bleached my hair. Suddenly my hair was fried and I had to cut it all off.
I noticed the difference is that they
used to lift my hair to the desired color, and then wash it out. Now it seems impossible to find a place that does this: they make your hair literally
white and then tone it darker. Of course this means my hair is over-processed afterward. My hair not only used to look natural (because the tone matched my natural tone, only lighter), but it was also soft. I'd recommend just bleaching your own hair with some olaplex to be honest. Watch some videos on youtube, it's pretty easy to do. I stopped going to hair salons completely and now do all my own hair treatments, and my hair looks wayyy better than it does when I leave the "professionals"
I'm not sure what the bleaching method is in Asia to bring black hair blonde. Maybe someone else can answer this though.

>>57698You can use a heat protectant spray. Honestly, if you are only going to be using it like once a month or less I doubt you have anything to worry about. Also, don't use on wet hair and make sure to get a decent brand.

Hope you guys don't mind that I have some questions, I'm a noob at this.
So I have dark brown hair and am a total hair virgin, I've always had my natural hair color and never really tried extensions or anything (most I did was dreadlocks and curls)
But I'm a sucker for the pastel look (awful, I know) and I think it would be a shame to bleach my virgin hair completely so I was looking into the ombre coloring thing.
Would it be best to do this with extensions or ask my hair dresser to bleach and dye it this way? Wich method would look better and/or be easier? Will extensions give the same effect or will it look extremely fake? And is it true that you have to dye your hair every week if you want to keep the pastel in? Also, if I ever wanted to go back to my natural hair color, would it still be hard to do like with full bleaching/dying?

>>58769I use castor oil for quite some time. Daily for about 2 months maybe, now just occassionally. It definitely darkens your hair, so if you're a (dark) blonde like me, it's worth using just for that. It strenghtens the hair, its life span is longer - no weak lashes falling out when removing makeup, for example. Speaking about eyebrows, hair's growing faster, got darker, but they're not fuller.
Bretman's eyebrows got so miraculously full because he had them full before; he just abused plucking.

>>59984It's not too uncommon. Hair texture can change as you grow, esp in teens. I know someone who went from straight hair to heavy curls in their teens.
It can also be because of hair length (longer hair is heavier and the curls may seem less 'dense').
Dying your hair can also change your hair texture, but the hair that grows out after isn't affected by that though.

I went from black (box dyed, 5-7 years) to brown (kind of a golden brown like your pic, but wanted red but that's not really important). My hair is almost Kiki tire thin and it past boob length. The whole process took around 6 hours and a bit less than half of my hair was cut off.
Since I used box dye, it was a bit lighter on some part and darker on others lol. Some parts actually turned blonde, like the lower part on the back of my head. The hair itself was kind of coarse, rough, dry feeling but they gave me a really good, moisturizing hair mask that fixed it within a few months.
If you don't dye your hair you should have it waaay easier than me and maybe even go blonde in one sitting. But expect maybe two because of damage or whatever. Just take good care of your hair after bleaching and you should be fine.
No. 60368
>>60351You could slowly lighten your hair using highlights if you are worried about damage.
Your hair is naturally very dark, so you are going to have dark roots, no way around that.
With that said, I also have fine hair that lightens quickly and lighten it a couple shades. Even good salons fry my hair. I'd personally recommend DIY kits, that's what I do now. It's the easiest way to avoid your hair frying if you can trust yourself, because once your hair is fried it's fried. You can mask the damage, but never truly repair your hair.

Does anyone here have any experience growing out their hair?
I got a bad cut and it's been my kind of wake up call to realize that I just want long hair without the maintenance of bangs and short cuts.
My hair now is about armpit length with choppy bangs that I have to pin back. I want to get it down to at least waist length, which will probably take about two years, right?
My current plan is to not use any heat styling unless it's a very special occasion, or just a short blast from the blow dryer during the winter when it's too cold to walk around with wet hair. I'm also not going to color or bleach it, of course. I'm planning on washing it only about three times a week, and use oil treatments and masks on my hair regularly. I'm also taking vitamins and making sure my diet is healthy, as well as staying hydrated and exercising.
Is my plan solid? Have you ever tried to grow your hair out? How did it go? Was it easier after the awkward stage? Thanks guys.

>>60425you'll hear different opinions on that but imo no. Only when you need to get rid of heavy grease or wash off all of builded up proteins and such.
Actually, it's not necessary to wash your HAIR with shampoo too often. It's drying and ripping off good protective stuff (sorry for my lack of proper wording). Just shampoo your scalp, and when you wash it off, your hair gets washed a bit too. For example, I wet my hair, put on a mask or conditioner, wash my scalp with a shampoo WITHOUT washing off my mask/conditioner so it protects my hair from the shampoo. Then I wash it all and use my favourite conditioner again.
My hair has never looked better, tbh

>>60373Anon, take it into consideration carefully and try going for it in steps. Try bettie bangs instead (A shorter style of bang than usual that isn't as drastic as Yolandi's).
You also picked the worst pic of Yolandi you could've possibly grabbed for your example, ouch.
Just google image bettie bangs or bettie page herself. I suggest taking them longer at first and gradually move them up and see how you feel.
All in all remember: Your hair WILL grow back but the shorter you take it, the longer it will take to return. Take it slowly.
I personally just cut some short styled bettie bangs and I love them but i can only wear my hair a couple of ways when I'm lazy or i look retarded. It's a very high maintenance style if you don't have the facial structure to pull it off bare-faced/messyhaired (I do not).
Luckily my hair grows fast so it'll be a more normal (and thus, easier to hide when i'm lazy as fuck) in a few weeks but i also am basically hikkikomori status so it's kind of irrelevant anyway.
If you HAVE to leave your house often, don't take the risk anon.
Don't take the risk if you don't have any idea of how to cut your bangs or you'll probably fuck them up. If you find a good stylist they'll do what you want.

Also Betty bangs aren't what she's got, half her hair is cut short, she doesn't just have bangs starting at the crown or sth. Bangs would be a compromise though, instead of going full mullet from 0 to 100.
My bone structure is pretty good, I think I could pull it off. I've just been sporting really boring hair my entire life so it's going to be jarring no matter what.
Funny you mention your hiki tendencies because we're in the same boat there. I'm no NEAT but what I do allows me to stay indoors for months sometimes so maybe I can fuck up my hair idk. I feel like I've got to do it once in my life.

Honestly, accutane was the best thing I ever did for my self esteem and appearance. The only regret I have is waiting so long because I listened to paranoia about supposed horrific side effects and was too scared to try it. Cystic acne doesn't have to cover 'every inch of your skin' to make you miserable, people who are dealing with it shouldn't be afraid to try accutane with a derm monitoring their usage.

>>60549It's called a hime cut, and you want to be REALLY careful with that. It typically rounds the face, and the longer ones hide your jaw, it doesn't make your face look slimmer.

I read once somewhere color-protecting shampoos/conditioners can actually make the situation worse, but this likely varies by brand. What brand do you use?
That said, all color fades eventually, even natural colors. For unnatural colors, the color you choose can have a big impact on how fast/slow it fades, and the brand of haircolor can impact this too (do you know what brand your stylist uses?)
Also $200 sounds like way too much but i also have always been a cheapass and just done my hair myself (So i've lived through all of the shittiest mistakes from too-short bangs to ugly colors to bad bleach jobs)

My hair has always been in the thin side and very fine, plus I have a high forehead (my asshole brother once said it looked like a receding hairline when I was getting my hair dyed), but I rarely dyed back then, and never now.
Anyway, around 2011 or 2012, I started getting hair fall far more frequently than I'd ever had before. I used to part my hair down the middle, but after a while, so much scalp began to show, that I had to start parting it off to the side more. I went to my doctor at the time, and he said it was stress. At the time, it may have been stress that helped aggravate it. But five years later, and my hair isn't nearly back to the fullness it was when I was younger.
I've looked around online at possible causes. Trying biotin didn't seem to work, and only made me break out more often. I began to find stuff linking antidepressants to hair loss in women, and I'm wondering if that is the root cause of the problem. I got my psychiatrist to switch me from Prozac to another antidepressant, but I don't think the newer one is helping with the hair loss. I'm almost tempted to go off the meds entirely, and see if it helps bring growth back, but I know I'll get more depressed if I do.
I feel fucked, basically. I don't know if a dermatologist can help or what. Not to mention I don't know how much a session with a dermatologist will cost.

>>60988Right now it is purple and pink ombre, it's been almost 2 months now and the purple seems to be sticking so far which is nice.
I use pic related, my hair is really strange and most shampoos/conditioners make my hair unmanageable.
My stylist I think uses aveda? I think that's what it's called. Yeah I can see how it seems expensive but I've been to around 5 different solans I stuck with for good amount of times in my life and all were the same price, it's more due to how long the appointments are, I have to be the last appointment because depending on what I do it can take up to 4 hours to do my whole head. Normal haircuts takes 1 hour at minimum, even when I cut it above my shoulders. I've had a lot of pissed off stylists because they didn't listen when I said how long it takes over the phone and they didn't schedule right. The girl I'm with now scheduled my first appointment for 30 mins and by the end I had 2 other people from the salon help blow drying my hair at once to finish it off since her other client showed up.
It's just extremely thick to the point it really is inconvenient, it gives me migraines sometimes due to the weight.
The worst is I've had my hair perm straightened twice, both took around 6 hours sitting in the salon. I sometimes think of chopping it again but now i finally just got it back down to my waist after 3-4 years
No. 61846
>>61402really the main thing is, does it suit your style? if your style is very vanilla, it might look ridiculous; see the trend of (for lack of better word) preppy girls putting pink streaks in their hair. if you're already alt-leaning, it'll automatically look better.
other things to consider; brightly coloured hair is more of an accessory than normal coloured hair is. if you wear a lot of colours, your hair might clash. like, when i did my hair super bright red, it was so hard to find a red lipstick that looked good on me because it had to go with my hair, my skintone, and my outfit. imo this is i think why goths look best with brightly coloured hair; when you're wearing all black all the time, it's a pop of colour for contrast
people will treat you a little differently from a glance, yeah, but for me it's fun to show people that their first impressions are totally wrong. i also have piercings and tattoos, though, so i'm going to get those looks no matter what colour my hair is
overall tho, if it's something you've always been wanting to do, do it! it's not irreversible. if you really hate it or get a lot of flack for it, dye it back.

My hair is fucking ruined from going pink.
actually, it wasn't pink that was the problem- i had it for about two years. i decided i wanted to go blonde, and instead of stopping and telling me they couldn't do it, the salon ruined my hair. i ended up having to dye it black and cut it above my shoulders. my hair was brittle and falling out, and when damp it felt like noodles.
i was so depressed with how i looked, ie dned up getting extensions. yes, i know, they're bad for your hair- but you can't imagine how horrible i looked. i just want my hair to grow out. and it is! i've had my extensions for almost a year, but my hair grows slow.
today i went to my hair stylist (a different one than the bleach lady) to get my extensions redone. somehow, six inches of my weave disappeared. i was sat there for 4 hours, but i wasn't facing the mirror so i didn't see it. my extensions are so short now, it looks almost like my hair before i got them. they're less thick too. i have no idea what happened. i should've said something while i was there but i was so in shock and trying to convince myself that maybe when i style it myself it'll look better.
so now im depressed about my hair again. i don't regret having pink hair, but i regret ever trying to go blonde- that's what ruined my hair. fuck. i just wish my hair was long again!!

Hey, I've never dyed my hair before but I'm thinking about getting pic related so I hoped you guys could answer some of my questions:
I've read that unnatural colors only last a few showers: Once they're "gone" will it look just blond or will it still have the color but more faded? I'm asking bc I've heard getting your hair dyed is quite expensive and if it's only gonna last like a week or two then that wouldn't be worth it to me. I kinda like the faded (like in the pic) look more, so will a hue like this stay longer?
No. 62656
>>62646no, actually darker colors will stay longer, but never fade into metallic-pastel tones like this . pic related will yellow out after 2 washes, 1 if you're using hot water. you can always refresh it in the shower with dye mixed into hair conditioner, but you'll lose the color nuance if you have any.
i recommend getting a good semi-permanent dye in a bright, strong color like fuschsia, forest green, dark blue etc., keeping it in your hair 4-5 hours, washing it off with cool water and not washing your hair for one week after dying your hair, if you can manage it. afterwards washing your hair with cold water will help the color stay longer.

So I've never dyed my hair before and I've always had a fancy to just go black. I already have dark brown hair that's pretty thick and curly, and when curled it falls slightly past my shoulders. I do tend to blow out and flat iron my hair at least once a month at times, if that makes a difference. My gut is telling me that I need to go to a pro to get it done because the last thing I want to do is ruin my hair. However, am I breaking the bank for no reason if I go to a salon, especially since I'm going darker with no intention of going light?

It sounds intimidating dying your hair by yourself, but it's quite easy, at least to do one solid color. Plus, since your hair is already dark, any mistakes will be quite forgiving. Just watch a couple of YouTube videos if you're nervous about doing something wrong.
Good luck with your hair, though. I think black hair looks amazing and I never regret doing it on myself!

My hair lifts very, very quickly because the strands are so thin, but the majority of hair stylists are SLOW as hell.

I've tried cheap salons and expensive ones.
I lighten my own hair now. In fact, I also cut/smooth/olaplex etc etc. my own hair too and the results are much better than at the majority of salons I've been to.

Blonde expert anons please help.
I've been dying my hair since I was 11. I was blonde as a kid and ended up with medium or light brown hair. I was dying my hair black for years and was always told that when I had my hair blonde it looked best. I'm told dark hair makes me look sick and corpse like.
I have my natural hair color now and am looking to go blonde. Is there a box dye (I know some anons will cringe at the thought) or something at Sally's you would recommend to go to a dark or medium blonde? I'm going gradually up a few shades till I get to a level 8 or 9. My shade now is about a level 5. Similar to the swatch in the pic at level 5.

I have naturally #5 hair too, and lighten it to around #8 using at home highlighting kits (pic related – I've used a couple kinds and it doesn't matter much as it's just a thick bleach). These are better than at a stylist if you are happy with the undertone of your hair, and just want a lighter color. A lot of people like ashy tones like

Can someone help me?
I'm getting my hair colored like pic related (only more vibrant– I'll have my hair bleached first) in a couple weeks and I'm stoked. I've had colored streaks in my hair before, but I've never had anything as dramatic as this. When I had only one streak of color, I was able to tie off that portion of my hair in a plastic bag to prevent the color from fading in the shower; I could still wash my hair every two days, but I'd wash the colored portion maybe once or twice a week.
Other than using the appropriate color-friendly shampoo, is there a way that I can prolong the vibrancy of my hair? Can I section off the ends somehow and only wash my scalp?
Sorry for hair retard but thanks for the help, friendly anons~

>>70571Guy Tang has a video called "Rose Gold Hair Tutorial" with his Mydentity line… The rose gold does look dark in the video and what you'd probably expect from a rose gold. It kind of sounds like she's inexperienced because everyone knows you cannot get ashy from gold.
What she did wrong was using the wrong color. Like I said above, you cannot get an ashy pink with rose gold. Rose Gold is warm. If you want it fixed try getting a colorist who knows the difference between warm and ashy hair.
In conclusion, look around and consult a colorist to fix it and knows her shit. You were the customer and it's your hair. If you said "ashy pink" she went right around and did the opposite of what you wanted.

Due to extreme stress and repeated physical and emotional trauma, my hair started falling out about a year ago. It got to the point where it was literally coming off in thick clumps whenever I touched it. Like hundreds of strands at a time, repeatedly, just coming out in my fingers. It gradually stopped getting worse about a month ago as my situation improved; now it still falls out some, but the intensity is less so.
But now my hair is brittle, dull, very frizzy, and the actual strands are thin and weak. I have slight bald spots visible over all my head you can see if I pull my hair back. The body and volume is so diminished that my curls now fall in about eight tiny little wispy clumps. It takes wrapping a new hairband three times to make a loose ponytail now. It hasn't grown in months.
This has seriously destroyed my entire sense of worth. My hair was my absolute favourite trait and what really made me stand out. I would get multiple compliments about it daily from random people. It was objectively very nice and unique. Now no one even looks at me when I go out and I know it's because of my fucking hair. I'm a vain person and it just kills me.
I'm tentatively hopeful that it isn't falling out as much now, but at 22, I'm terrified that it is never going to be anything like it was. Biotin or oils don't do anything in this case, the fanciest hair products don't help me. I tried, but the more fussing I do to it, the worse it gets. I read hair loss due to trauma can be irreversible and that there's nothing to do about it but wait and see. But I can't even stand looking in the mirror. I feel like that quote from the English dub of Howl's Moving Castle, 'What's the point in living if I can't be beautiful.'
Mainly I'm just venting. But I guess I'm asking if anyone has ever experienced something like this – hair loss due to trauma – and if you recovered from it, how long it took, etc.
No. 71005
>>70993>>70993Hi anon, I'm sorry to hear about all of that, I truly feel for you. I've experienced the same thing recently and it has been a slow progress ever since. After I was done freaking out about it, I decided to do something about it but stress about the hair less because it only makes it worse. I made a hair oil mix from castor oil and Indian gooseberry oil (you can use castor oil alone if you want) these two helped my hair before it was falling and made my eyelashes and eye brows grow and get thicker so I'm confident it'll help with my hair and could help with yours too. I apply it to the roots of my hair and use it as a mask on the rest of my hair the night before washing it. I also only wear my hair in protective hairstyles now, no ponytails or anything involving a hairband because it just causes more hair loss. I mainly wear it in just a braid. I had bald spots as a child and my mother used to rub garlic on them and it grew the hair back like sorcery. I haven't tried it yet but I might do it before showering for a couple of times and report back with results.
For now anon you could try clip in extentions or a wig to help your self esteem until your hair is good again. Keep eating well and taking vitamins, I've had hair loss due to stress and trauma twice now and it always came back. Don't give up and don't think about it too much. Also, maybe you could find something else to focus your vanity on for now? I'm sure you have features you overlooked when you had beautiful hair. Best of luck, anon.

hi all,
looking for a bit of colour advice, since i have like a weird blind spot as to what suits me.
i'd like to go dark, as in black or espresso - but i never quite get the shade right.
my hair at the moment is really warm darkish auburn. it looks ok, but washes me out a bit since my natural hair is a little cooler.
with my natural colouring, i always seem to get dark colours wrong and end up looking grubby and dirty rather than pale and "creamy" if that makes sense?
i'm very pale but i think i might be olive toned - my eyes are olive green, too. pic related to give an idea of this.
can anybody relate or share some hair colour recommendations? what level and shade do i need to go for that will enhance my colouring rather than making me look grubby? thanks in advance

>>71159Anything damaging really. Chemical processes or teasing can contribute. Do not let your ends "fairy tail" which is basically getting so thin that it ends up tapered. Get your ends microtrimmed, which is basically removing a very small amount of hair length. Only every 2-3 months.
When I had virgin hair it was long enough to pick up some pieces and search for strands that were split. I call that process search and destroy. Use very sharp scissors too meant for cutting hair and find individual strands you can cut that are split. I would often not find a split end for maybe 2 months because it worked really well not doing anything damaging.
Heatless styles can be your best friend anon.

So I've had a left side parting for all my life, and recently I've noticed what seems like a small balding patch on the beginning of the parting line (after the forehead ends). Should I worry? Will it grow back? What can I do? Now I've parted my hair on the other side and will keep it like this for a good while. I wear my hair in ponytails some days of the week but they're never tight, and I've always had my hair down until 3 years ago.

Really hoping someone can come through because I'm desperate.
My hair is very, very thin. Like kiki-tier thinness. I'm not an anachan, and I've been tested extensively for hormone disorders or vitamin deficiences and my lab work always comes back normal. I am under an extreme amount of stress daily and have a pretty bad anxiety disorder on top of that so I'm pretty sure it mostly falls out due to stress and is almost half the density it used to be.
Right now I have no idea what to do with it. I've been trying to grow it out because I was just keeping it at chin length (since it was so fine and short) but I feel like that ages me terribly because it looks like thin old lady hair. Does anyone have ANY ideas for flattering hairstyles for very thin, very fine hair like kiki has? I also have similar breakage up front around my temples and bangs like in the second picture. But I have such little hair that bangs themselves might be a bad idea because then that's almost half the hair on my head being gone.
It's really distressing and making me feel very unfeminine. Hair extensions aren't an option because my hair is literally too thin to hide even tape ins or keratin tipped. I know all the tricks like blow drying upside down for volume and using dry shampoo but nothing seems to help with how flat and thin it is. I'm not sure if I should just admit defeat and resign to a pixie cut or if maybe there some medium or long hairstyles that actually flatter very thin, very flat hair?

I've always had very long hair (hip-length) that's totally straight, and I find that the ends get dry very easy.

>>74003Trimming your hair every month or so will reduce the total number of split ends you get. Trimming is good advice.
Is your hair breaking when you brush it? What products are you using?
No. 74051
>>74003Maybe you need to use more product to weight it down. Use a mask and a conditioner, spray some oil on wet hair (on ends or from half to ends. The same rule for conditioning).
You HAVE TO trim split ends, though, or the damage will worsen. Don't do it yourself, because you need very sharp professional scissors for it. Go to a salon, tell them to cut until it's healthy and start anew from there. Don't use too much hairspray, when hair is stiff from it it breaks very easily. Sleep with your hair in a loose bun or a braid. Use something - an oil, a silk, any product meant for ends after washing your hair. Avoid going to sleep with your hair wet, avoid using heat. When you're sitting, remember not to lean on your hair.
I have long straight hair (little above the bum) and I take a very good care of it. Still I have to trim it every two months or so. It's inevitable.

I'm gonna slowly bleach my hair for this new hairstyle, for a big change (I'm experienced with bleaching/dyeing my own hair, so I'm familiar with the process - I can get salon quality stuff and plan on grabbing some olaplex to help me out, too)

my face is like a plate but honestly I think a lot of striking hairstyles can look great on round faces. I got sick of my soccer mom cut so I got a super choppy graduated black bob with a shave under. It looked kickass and was easy as hell to maintain. Pic related is similar.
Issue is, my hair is fine but thick and very strong and dark, and I look better with my years-ago ass length hair so I'm trying to grow it out.

I have long hair, it’s not super healthy but I want it to be silky and shiny and not constantly stringy and frizzy, and it always looks super dry like it’s been bleached and dyed but it hasn’t, and it’s always dry on the ends. I’ve been told to try “hair oil”, but that’s as specific as anyone ever gets so idk what to look for because I’m autistic. Pinterest is no help, there’s so much conflicting info idk what to use, I see guides telling me to use Vitamin E oil, castor oil, coconut oil, olive oil and stuff but they all say the same shit- put this shit in your hair and it’ll look soft and shiny! Except IRL where it looks great as fuck, because you have oil in your hair. I have to rotate shampoos every two weeks because no matter what I use, how expensive of cheap it is my hair will adjust to it and it’ll stop working. Fuck my hair, if I wasn’t so poor I’d shave it off and wear nice wigs every day.

My hair is in awful shape right now. I used to have such nice, thick curls, but I have PCOS and I lost a ton of weight, so a bunch of it has fallen out as a result. It's so thin and broken now that I'm tempted to shave my head so it will grow back evenly.
I'm scared of going for it though so I'll probably just cut it super short and hope for the best. I've heard good things about Olaplex, so I'm considering dropping some cash on it for the sake of trying to salvage what I've got.
I hate having short hair, but if it will be better in the long run to cut it and treat it so I can grow it out again, I will.
My dream hair is to keep my dark roots and go silver with the rest of it. Pic related, kinda like that, maybe a bit more silver.

Be careful brushing it. From bottom to top slowly and braid it at night loosely.
No heat , Don't bother trimming it every month I've gone about twice or so in the 3 years , Use hair masks once to twice a week( I like coconut oil even though it's hard to wash out) only wash your hair every two to three days or longer if you can handle it, careful with the dry shampoo because it can build up and that sucks. Use it max I say two days in a row.

If you’re short on cash, see if your local college or university has a hairdressing school. You can get cuts for free (or basically free) and their teacher is usually supervising. It’ll take longer because they’re usually less confident and their grade may depend on giving you a bomb cut. If you’re not asking for anything crazy, I’m sure you’ll be happy with it :)

>>78104Such a loaded question, there's so many brands to pick from so I'll give you my basic list of brands to avoid like the fucking plague: Bellami, Luxy, Sallys. I don't like these brands because out of the box, they feel soft and lush, but after straightening/curling once they show their true quality - horse hair. Unless you're a beautyguru with some clout, there's no point paying extra for the youtube brands.
So for brands I like, I've tried Zala recently, and remain impressed with the softness and health of the hair, it's fucking dead and it's better than my real hair. Another brand I've researched and really want myself is HairSecret, but I opted for Zala based on the price. They both have a pretty comprehensive color palette and every set I've ever bought comes in a sealed bag, with an unsealed or loose tester strand. If you don't rip the sealed bag open, and only use the tester strand to color match, you can refund and replace with a better color match. As long as you're not a blonde, I find color matching less of a priority to blending the extensions into your own hair to mask any slight difference in tone. Watch a handful of youtube videos to give yourself an idea on how they'll work for you.

Bangs have to come from the top of your head, sometimes quite far.
Cutting hair shorter does reduce the weight of the hair and so more bouncy. Otherwise, long layers can me used to increase volume around your head while keeping the length.
oh, and blowdry you hair upside down and then fix it with a round brush to create lift at the roots.

My hair is bleached to its core and it looks so bad, even Jillian vessel has better hair than me. I dyed it blue a few months ago, and then red on top and now I look like a used tampon.

You have to treat each hair section differently as the blonde/red needs purple/blue and the green/blue needs red. If you're not a good at-home hairdresser it may be worth forking out for a trained stylist

Hey! I'm struggling with very dry hair. When I brush it when it's dry it gets as worse as in the picture, tho my hair is more wavy. But even if I don't brush it when it's dry it's dry af. I'm pretty sure it's naturally dry because I have never done anything to it that could have damaged it, never dyed/bleached it, never used any heat, don't use drying hairsprays/gels, only wash it once a week..
Anyway nothing seems to work. Any product that any hairdresser has ever recommended to me never works, hair masks, hair oils, home remedies…. nothing works. Either my hair is still as dry as it was before I used x product/treatment, or it gets oily af. No inbetween. The only thing I have found that kiiiinda works is everyone's holygrail coconutoil, but I find that it makes my hair supersoft but it still looks kinda poofy/dryish after.
I'm desperate! Who's got advice?
No. 81099
>>81059If you have hard water, wash your hair with a clarifying shampoo once a week or so.
Try putting oil on the ends of your hair while its damp and braiding it, I have similar hair and this helps a lot. Putting it on dry hair makes it look greasy.
Wavy/curly hair is naturally drier than straight hair. It has more to do with texture than hair quality. It's less obvious if you let your hair curl instead of straightening it (brushing wavy hair when dry also straightens it). Look into the curly girl method.
If your hair looks silky when blow dried and flat ironed, you just need to find a routine that works well for your hair texture. If its looks brittle and dry when straightened, then your problem is either some sort of nutritional deficiency or, unfortunately, shit genetics.

>>80963You could try using coconut oil overnight to help make it appear a bit healthier - I did this while growing out my straw-like bleached hair. There's no product out there that can "repair" damaged hair but you can temporarily improve its look with hair products.
I just got coconut oil from the local Indian food store - the organic non-hydrogenated stuff, put it all over the ends of my hair, wrapped it in a shower cap & towel then slept in it all night. After a shower I'd put a little on the ends while it was damp, then use a glycerin-based hair cream and small amounts of soft moulding wax at the very tips.
No. 81130
>>81059First things first make sure you don't put coconut oil near your roots (unless you are using it overnight). Instead put it on midlengths and ends, going much lighter on the oil in the midlengths and heavier right at the tips, which are the oldest and driest hairs on your head.
Secondly, have a look at websites for black/afro hair care - they suggest using a moisturising leave in conditioner, then a sealing oil and lastly a curl defining/hair styling cream. I am not black myself but it did help me improve the overall appearance of my hair when it was frazzled after a bad bleach & dye job.

Anons with curly/wavy hair:
How do I deal with having a mix of different hair textures? I recently cut off a lot of the dry and damaged hair I had from using heat and chemicals and started styling my hair naturally. My curls and waves are tighter in the front of my head around my hairline (pic related) and then turn into looser waves at the back of my head. Is there anyway I can style my hair to make the texture look more consistent? Scrunching doesn't seem to work all that well for the hair in the back btw. Or are there any haircuts I can get that would work with it? I'm letting my hair grow out more before I do anything with it again though.

>>81271Are you from african decent?
From youtube tutorials I learned that african hair needs different care than caucasian hair like shampoos with proteins and stuff.
From a curly hair person to another: Lots of conditioner.
For cutting you should either look for a really good hairdresser (I noticed most usually cut my hair as if it was straight hair and it never worked out and always looked like shit). When it is longer you could just bent-forward into your bath tub rinse your hair with water thoroughly and cut a straight line. (image related) This way your hair gets cut in highly skewed level so the locks get more prone. Never cut too much since of course due to the locks they always are a lot shorter when dried obviously.
I have people asked me if I cut my hair all the time, because due to the locks they always lock different and shorter when freshly cut kek
For getting the curls more tidy: Leave-in conditioner or light oils (coconut oil, flaxseed oil, almond oil - take the natural ones for cooking so there is no parfum in there or anything like that).
Skip stuff with silicone.

any curly haired girls who straighten their hair, know how to fix this issue with bangs? I have a hard time keeping my bangs to lay flat. I resort to bobby pins a lot for a side fringe. But I want to have blunt bangs. Knowing itll be impossible because they stick up like pic related. Ive tried blow drying in the direction I want them to go and straightening them flat down, but idk what to do.
No. 81608
>>81606I have a cowlick and I think what I do might help you. When blow drying, dry in different directions (right to left) by alternating sides every few seconds. Also when I'm getting ready I pin my bangs to the side, and depending how long it takes to get ready, unpin them and pin them again on the opposite side (similar to the drying method). If you let the bangs down and it looks funky, try pinning them yet again but the opposite way they were last.
Also when flat ironing, try curving inward as opposed to straight down - but not so much that you create a curl.
I hope this all makes sense!
No. 81621
>>81619If you're leaving your fringe down you can't really force it to stay in place without product, and that looks greasy and unfortunate. Really you need your fringe cut in a way that still looks good when it's out of place. So not too thick, not too straight and blunt, chipped into and a bit wispy is best so that it can be swept to the side or in half or whatever and still sit naturally.
Honestly my fringe is pretty shitty because I trim it myself out of laziness but that works in a way, it's always imperfect and doesn't have to sit a certain way so a bit of wind won't make much difference.

>>82701Go to a hairdresser, tell them to cut your bangs to the side and wispy it up a bit. Choose your "dominant" side, so your hair naturally falls into place. And then just grow it out slowly.
When it's getting awkwardly long, side cut will help you get it out of your face. Wispy - lighter, more flowy, won't look ugly on wind. The worst you can do is trying to grow out bangs from a blunt cut.
But growing out a fringe is always a pain and really there's no magic way to make it bearable I guess, use pins if you can't deal with it

>>82696You probably need protein treatment, not oil. Oil is just moisture while keratin actually helps mask the damage. I used to dye my hair blonde and it was super scraggly and gross no matter what I did until I got some protein treatments, made my hair a lot more manageable. Hask has some really cheap stuff that works pretty well. Damaged hair actually can't be "fixed" though, just temporarily made better. If you want to actually prevent the damage you should probably get Olaplex treatments next time you get touch-ups.
Another thin haired anon here. I cut off a majority of my hair last year to get rid of all the damage and went back to my natural color. Zoey Deschanel is hair goals for me but my hair gets super flat when I grow it out long. Like Koti flat and literally sticks to my head. Even when I get layers I only get so much volume. Any good products or other methods I can use to get something really voluminous without being drying?
No. 83091
>>83080That's a very top heavy cut. Depending on your facial features, that could be a bad move. The "long bob" with bangs is dated. But that shouldn't be your main concern.

Brittney Gray is a great place to start. Do't feel overwhelmed, this should be a fun exploration!

Otherwise the only thing I've heard of that really works, besides trying whatever volume shampoo/conditioner is on the market is blow drying in the opposite direction. So if your hair sits on the right side of your face, blow toward the left and so on. Salon girls I knew would do this for clients to get lift into their hair.

Anons, I need some advice.
I have been dyeing my hair black for quite some time, and now I want to go back to my natural colour, which is dark blonde. I'm conflicted on whether I should try going to a hairdresser to try and dye it back or just chop it all off at the regrowth. It's in a good shape right now, but I'm afraid of damaging it even more. I know that dyes tend to wash out over time and the border between my natural colour and the dyed part may be noticeable in a month, plus the whole dyeing process probably will include a shit load of stripping the color, toning, dyeing and maybe bleaching, sooo my hair may be pretty damn fried at the end.
On the other hand, my facial features aren't really suited for super short cuts, so it's basically choosing between a lot of pain in the ass versus looking like a 12-yo boy for about a year. As for now, my roots have grown for about an inch, and it looks unkempt and weird because of the contrast, and yeah, I know about regrowth toning sprays and I've been using them, but it's messy and takes way too long every morning.
Has anyone else gone back from a super dark color to their natural light one? Is it worth the time and money?
No. 85544
>>85537Honestly get a wig if you can afford it.
The whole colour stripping and bleaching part also depends on how long your hair is. Been dyeing my hair black for 6 years, decided I wanted to go red. My almost waist length hair was cut off almost to my shoulders because it was fried.

Not thin as in not enough hair, as it the hair itself is thin but you have a lot of it resulting in this weird fluffy shape.

After brushing it, the loose S-waves are gone and it looks like I have 1b hair - straight with some volume.

my mom spent the bulk of my childhood frying her hair with old straightening techniques and recently has just been rocking a short pixie-type cut cause of how damaged it was. going for layering is key though, i got a short bob once with an undercut and it looked nice for a long time. short hair cuts will require maintenance still. i guess getting it professionally straightened or curled will too.

I'm getting my hair cut soon, I think this style would be good for my face shape (sort of long and my forehead is a bit high) but the only problem I have is that my hair is so straight and sort of flat. Do you girls have any tips on making hair less flat?

I have no idea what my face shape is or what hairstyle would suit me. I feel like I have a pretty big forehead, but since I have a big ass nose blunt bangs are a no no (tried it before). I'm a blank slate, so unprocessed long (past boobs) hair without any layers or anything and it has a tendency to get wavy or curl when I treat it right. (but tried to find a picture where my face shape is most visible)
Any advice or suggestions are welcome, just no sidecuts or pixiecuts because it's a turn off for the bf.

>>89205Long hair is definitely the way to go for your face shape, imo. Shoulder length or longer.
I think you look nice without bangs, but if you're thinking of cutting a fringe avoid short bangs, curtain bangs and blunt ones, as you said. Alexa Chung in pic related has wispy, slightly layered bangs that look really cute.
As for the overall style, maybe you could try some soft layers. They're not too harsh and don't take much away from your length. I'm obv not a professional by any means but i think it might look really good~

I tried to see if I could find a picture where I had something similar to wispy bangs and pic related is what I could find. So I guess something like that, but slightly fuller and longer then. I'm mostly wondering about whether I should get bangs because my forehead is a bit on the big side, not a 5-head but I still want to optimize my looks. So I am considering like you said wispy bangs or maybe even side-swepped.

Would anyone have any hair recommendations for round faces? I'm getting my hair cut next week, it currently reaches my lower back. I was looking to get it short because its so damn hot which makes it look greasy and flat very easily by the end of the day.

>>89247I have a Kirsten Dunst type of round face, so really round and that type of haircut suits me the best.
My hairdresser at first advised me against it but after seeing the result we both agreed that it looks fantastic.
I look younger and fresher and I keep getting compliments that I look cute. Even strangers on streets throw me "cutie" couple of times per day.
On the other hand, I love long hair, I think it looks super feminine. Unfortunately it doesn't look that good on me. I have thick hair so with long hair I get that pyramid shape with my top being flat and the rest wrapping my neck and shoulders. I looked like someone belonging to the missing link species.
Currently, my hair style is more like pic related though recently it started look wavy and curly.
Also, my hair dresser said that for round faces, side bangs are better but I kind of disagree. Straight bangs are better on round faces imo and easier to maintain but you should see that for yourself.
Hope my input helped!

Are there any other anons with shitty, Kota-tier fine hair that can help me out?
My scalp is so oily and it always looks like my hair is dirty, it's awful. I've been trying to train it to produce less oil (by washing it every couple of days and using dry shampoo in between washes) but it's been over a month now and it looks just as greasy as when I started. I don't think it's related to my diet, either, because I've changed it many times in the past to no avail, so I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this that has been able to get their sebum glands to chill a bit?

Try not to touch or play with your hair during the day- that’s all I’ve got. I’ve done the every other day shampoo thing to break the cycle. I do like dry shampoo if I need I touch up.
My problem is split ends. Even with short hair I get them. No dye, no heat I get them.

>>89981>by washing it every couple of days and using dry shampoo in between washesDude you need to leave it alone for at least a week without washing at all. No hair spray, no creams, nothing for a week to, even better, a month. Just brush them gently for a long time every day to get the sebum down to the bottom and get rid of dead skin.
I know it sounds difficult but washing it every two days is not going to make it any better, ever.
I used to have extremely greasy hair, now it's better. I try to wash as little as possible, two times a week is good, but when I have events coming I'll do it more.

However there is one
major problem…I've noticed that my hair looks oily as sin all the time now, even
right after washing it, it's super streaky and disgusting. For some reason my scalp looks okay but the rest of my hair is a greasy mess.

here's some things that I've found that help:
Christophe Robin Clarifying Scrub-you can get this stuff from Sephora and it helps A LOT. You just use it on your scalp and it helps with the oilyness a lot. I try to only use it a couple times a week tops. It also helps stretch out the time between washing your hair.
Oribe texturizing spray works way better than dry shampoo and actually gives more volume.
I also get a lot of split ends because my hair is pretty damaged from bleaching and heat. so I use Olaplex on my ends as well and it helps with that.
I know all these products are pretty expensive, but imo its worth it to help manage my shitty hair.

>>92935I had this issue up until last week when my mom showed me a different way to wash my hair and it fucked changed my life. My hair is straight and fine, and gets greasy ridiculously easily too and my scalp gets irritated easily as well. I use a normal cheap ish Apple shampoo for oily hair, not surface free or clarifying or anything like that (those made my hair worse), I just use a cheap oily hair shampoo that I already know doesn't drive my scalp crazy. I put a squidge of the shampoo into a 500ml squeezy bottle of water or other empty shampoo bottle and shake it up. In the shower I saturate and wash my hair first with just water, then pour this weird water-shamp stuff all over then continue with that and rinse it out.
Any way other than this leaves a residue on the hairs no matter how carefully and hard I wash and rinse. This made a huge difference for me so I hope it works for you if you try!! It saved me from blowing money on ~magic expensive shampoo~ too.
No. 93045
>>92935Professional here! First of all - the issue is not your hair, i is your scalp.
Oily hair =/= dirty hair. Washing too much can contribute to a lot of the problems you’re describing. You really shouldn’t wash your hair more than 2-3 times per week, to keep your scalp balanced.
It sounds like you’re dealing with either seborrheic dermatitis, eczema, or psoriasis, which would explain your oily hair/dry scalp situation, as well as your extreme scalp sensitivity. I would encourage you to consult a doctor or dermatologist, because those require specific approaches different from treating other dry scalp and oily hair issues.
>>93040I would encourage any anons to please not use vinegar in their hair if they have scalp sensitivities or have had reactions to commercial products, without doing a patch test first.
For 99% of people who are dealing with imbalances in oil production - the answer is to wash less, and - yes - use decent products when you do wash. You don’t have to buy the $1 bottle of suave when you’re cleansing the proper amount and using the right amount of product (less than you think). Every major brand has regular sales on full liters at major discounts, as well. It’s not magic expensive bullshit - it is pricey because the ingredients are better and concentrated enough to be effective, and a decent amount of R&D goes into developing them.
Unless you have a scalp condition - wash your hair 2-3 times a week with quality products, refresh with dry shampoo, and look at your diet! You need a healthy balance of alkaline and acidic foods. If you have the balls - do the true power-reset of two weeks with no washing. You will hate it the whole time, but I have seen it work miracles to re-balance people’s oil production.

>>92990A full fringe woudln’t be the most flattering, but short textured bangs are a great look on short foreheads! You just have to make sure they’re not cut too wide across your forehead, with a round face, and that the rest of the cut doesn’t emphasize too much volume or layering above the jaw.
No. 93083
>>93048Sure! Some hair types can take it! If you’re not experiencing dryness or scalp problems, you’re fine. Younger women in particular can get away with washing more often. Every other day is totally fine for healthy hair if you have enough moisture in the strands and not just overproduction of oil at the roots!
I highly recommend New Wash to folks who just can’t get that balance right with washing. A lot of people are scared off by the price point, but I have seen it work miracles to re-balance hair. It’s also a “use sparingly” sort of product so you save a lot of money because minimal product actually gives better results than overdoing it.

I need some advice anons: my hairline/face shape is really unfortunate, nothing really suits me.
My hair is rather fine, but it's not like I have too little hair. The texture is flat and straight at the top but slightly wavy and dry at the bottom.
I always used to straighten it, but that damaged it badly. Right now it's a bit above shoulder lenght and I alternate between parting it at the side and the middle, no idea which one looks better.
People told me that having a bob suits me, but since I gained weight I don't think that's a good idea.
I tried dying it dark brown, red and black when I was younger. I also had bangs as a teen but was very bad at styling it, so it looked pretty shitty.
Any advice on how I should cut or style it? Is my colour too boring?

I have two things I'd love some advice on!
Should I dye my hair a darker colour? My hair is naturally a dark neutral blonde that looks a bit lighter in sunlight, and although other people seem to like it I don't think it gives enough contrast for me to look nice. I'm very pale with soft blue eyes and faint freckles, so it feels like I'm almost desaturated. I've always been envious of Alexis Bledel's hair colour, but her colouring is a lot… brighter? clearer? than mine, so I don't know if it would look good on me.
Also, how do I style bangs with this stupid cowlick? I hate my forehead, but whenever I get bangs they're completely at the mercy of the cowlick and end up looking terrible. Apparently I have a diamond face, so bangs are probably a bad idea anyway (since they take away hair that can hide my wide cheekbones). Maybe the cowlick is protecting me, idk
(Pls don't mock my stupid hairstyle, the wave in my hair gets serious around chin length and I'm growing out a pixie so it's doing fun things until it's long again)

Is there anything I can do for this? Lol. I’ve been trying to grow my hair out for about 3 years from a super short pixie. I hate getting it cut because it always gets fcked up….but maybe I just don’t know what to ask for. My hair is so thick and one length I just put it up in a bun every single day but doing that has murdered my ends. I’m afraid I need to get it cut shorter. Is there anything I can do so I can wear it down without looking mental? Would layering help? I really like Noel fieldings hair cut from 2006/2007.

I suggest buying a sulfate free shampoo. I recommend the aragan oil shampoo from OGX, the Walmart generic version if it works just as good for me as well & it has almost double the amount for about the same price.
I use the non-aerosol SoCozy dry shampoo in between hair washes. I can go almost a week without washing my hair. This one's a little costly, about $9 a bottle, but it only takes 4 to 6 sprays to work. I tried using aerosol dry shampoo before, but it made chunks of my hair fall out once. Not sure if the same would happen to you. I have low porosity hair so that might have been a factor.
Avoid any products with protein and heavy oils.

I have belly bottom-lenght hair. My hair has never been this long, but I've always dreamed of it and I want to grow it even longer. It's just hard for me to not get really frustrated with my hair, to the point where I consider cutting it of.
My hair gets extremely frizzy and I just don't know what to do about it. The best I can do is use shampoos without sulfate, phosfate, parabenes, and wash my hair with cold water, but it's still so frizzy and witchy and ugly. The outer layer is just flat and plain frizz, the middle layer is wavy, and in the inner layer I have curls. It looks so weird.
I straighten my hair sometimes, which makes my hair soft and nice, but long terms it breaks my hair too much, so it won't grow longer.
I wish I could get that texture permantly. My sister has it, and I'm so jealous that her hair is extremely long and she doesn't even have to do much to care for it.
I've considered getting it permanently straightened with the japanese method, like Rachel of Jun and Rachel:
https://youtu.be/f0zd60YNAzg My haircolor and texture is exactly like Rachel's before straightening, just even longer and wilder. The problem is that I'd have to travel out of town for this and I'm sure it's going to look weird when my frizzy hair starts growing out while the rest is straight and I won't necessarily be able to come back to get it straightened frequently.
Idk what to do, I feel like I've done everything I can. So I'm hoping maybe some of you know of any product that might help?

>>98687I had/ have the same hair situation as you. Honestly home hot oil treatments, noughty rise & shine and my Kent woodyhog brush have completely changed the game for me. I actually have manigable hair in the week and it’s amazing. The hot oil treatment I do is about two cups coconut oil and 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil with a set time of 20 min (put the ends of your hair in first, obviously it’s not actually hot oil it’s just warmed on a stove.) After I wash the treatment out with my normal shampoo and conditioner,hit it with a few pumps of rise & shine and brush it with the wood brush I personally put it into Bantu nots to dry. Takes about a day, so try this on a weekend. Then if I need to wash my hair in the week I only do cowash and put my hair into pig tails so I can twirl around all day. Long frizzy hair looks so much better when it’s put into air dryed curls imo. The brush pictured or anything with similar wooden teeth is great for frizzy hair wet or dry. Hope this helps.

Any farmers deal with telogen effluvium or hair loss in general? How long did it take to grow back?
I lost ~65% of my hair during the start of this year, the shedding was very dramatic first but slowed down after a few months. Right now it's limp, thin, and still slightly shedding. I can't see any regrowth whatsoever and it's kind of disconcerting. (Maybe I should go to a dermatologist.)

According to an article they are two different things… but I am not an expert.
>Having an itchy, flaky scalp is a common problem for many people. However, before you can figure out how to treat the condition, you must identify the cause. Two conditions that can lead to itchy scalp are psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis:Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease. It can cause skin cells to grow so quickly that they accumulate on the surface of the skin. Patches of rough, scaly skin can appear anywhere on the body, including the scalp.
Seborrheic dermatitis is a skin condition that can cause rough, scaly skin on the scalp and face. The common name for seborrheic dermatitis is dandruff. In babies, it’s called cradle cap.

>>99427>>99433I only have slightly similar scabs on my scalp. A few years ago they were at the same place on my scalp as well, and disappeared after years of me having them. I've had horrible acne all over my face, shoulders and back but it's not related to what's on my scalp at all, and I've never had scabs on my body. Now I'm checking this website that
>>99427 linked and what I have looks closer to seborrheic dermatitis. Then again I want to make sure can find a solution so I'll ask a dermatologist. I already use dandruff shampoo, have been doing this for years as soon as I first started to have this problem btw, always the same brand.
Actually I feel really stupid right now because all of your answers helped me way more than whatever the fuck my dermatologist ever did for me when I was a teenager and when it first appeared. I used to use head & shoulders shampoo and scrap off as much as I could because I looked disgusting no matter what as, to the point of bleeding at times.

I have no idea what to do with my hair and how to make it suit my face shape more. The main problem is that when looked at directly from the front my hair seems too thin and face too big for that haircut now that I'm older. Of course, on good days it's ok, but the moment it gets a bit greasy or blown away by the wind it looks bad.

>>99480i dooooo and i hate it, in part because my hair is fine. it gets greasy at the speed of light and "separates" because of it. weather absolutely destroys my hair and turns it into a stringy mess anyway, but especially so on my fringe because of this stupid fucking haircut.
i blowdry it with a big round brush and spray my fringe only with dry shampoo immediately after drying it from the shower so that it stays nice for longer, but even then it's kind of "bitty" and doesn't lie right.
stick with a nice soft sideswept or a tendril-y fringe if you're fine-haired, anon.
on a related note, anyone with tips on making fine but thick medium-length hair look halfway decent please let me know, in terms of cut and styling. i feel like kooter with this haircut rn.
No. 99493
>>99484Your hair looks very nice and healthy and not at all thin. Definitely get a trim and some treatment for the ends, they are a bit scraggy.
Personally I don't like the heavy blunt bangs on you, for one I think it's a haircut that only works for very young women and secondly it emphasizes the broadness of your face, you have strong cheekbones and jawline. I would grow them out a bit, so they are less heavy, and give them a softer shape, showing a bit of your forehead and brows and framing your eyes to elongate your face.

>>99688Same, anon! I’ve been dying my hair black with semi-permanent dye for about a year to allow my hair a much needed break from high maintenance blonde. It’s finally feeling like I might be able to bleach it again in a few months, but personally I’ve heard only horror stories about going from black to blonde. Since your hair has been processed (I’m assuming, if you used a dye with developer) it’ll probably be a couple of rounds of bleach to lift to an acceptable blonde. However, hair that’s already been processed can have a couple of things go wrong. It can have a chemical reaction with the bleach, which could of course break your hair off or even turn it green. Personally, I think I’ll just wait for the dye to grow out, go for a cut and bleach my virgin roots. I’m quite fortunate in that the dye I’ve been using is actually blue-based so I can see a pretty visible line between my natural growth and dyed hair. I’d suggest you lay off the dye and set your expectations low. No stylist will be able to bring you to your ideal color in one appointment, especially with all the added risk of going from black to blonde. Accept that it’ll be a few months of appointments and lots of money to go with it. If you’re able to grow out your natural hair, you’ll be facing a much easier and less damaging process. Either way, good luck on your hair journey!

Girls if you have hair prone to frizz/live in a humid area Color Wow Dream Coat is a life saver. I was skeptical but I ordered it and it works wonders. My hair is so shiny and soft, no frizz at all. I went out in a drizzle today without a jacket/umbrella and my hair didn't frizz up or get ruined, it's seriously a miracle. Usually my hair frizzes up just when I go outside because I live in such a humid area. 10/10 would recommend. They have a curly hair version too

>>100711>anons who have worn clip on extensions: were they worth it? That's pretty individual, depends how stingy you are. I paid $400 or so for mine and just wear them on 'special occasions'. They are obviously extensions and I think my natural hair looks better, but I admit they give me a confidence boost and I enjoy the process of dressing up. I grew up with scene hair and I can't help enjoying the tacky fake look of extensions, but in a dark club nobody can tell you're wearing them anyway.
>do you think i could have some for daily use? or would daily use be too much? I'd find that too much. They aren't very comfortable so you probably wouldn't want to anyway, but if you did they'd get ratty and damaged a lot quicker. .
>I hate my short hair and miss wearing ponytails, pigtails, spacebuns and all that fun stuff.You aren't gonna be able to do many styles with clip ins, they're quite restrictive. I'd wear them in low pigtails/plaits at most, if not just out.
All in all, not really a great investment. But if you have realistic expectations (that they won't look perfect and give you amazing, easily styled hair) and don't mind the cost, they can be fun.

Any of you got any pictures of modern/pretty hairstyles that are side-parted with a fringe? I need some inspiration.
I made a huge mistake, I got my hair chopped into like a long shag with this horrid straight, broad Korean-style fringe (not my choice, I actually went in with pic related). It's also centre-parted and it just makes my hair look flat and balding because of the contrast between my hair and scalp. UGH it's bad.

No. 102404
>>102403I‘ve had unusual colored hair several times in my life and it’s genuinely a pain in the ass to maintain, unless you don’t care looking like an unkempt piece of trash. Especially if you dye it really bright colors it‘ll look greasy very easily (even when it’s not) once it starts growing out.
Dyeing for me always takes up quite some time as well but that’s because I apply it very carefully/thoroughly.
I’d say only do it if you’re really determined to take care of it. Also: Bleaching is incredibly damaging. Be aware of that.
Since one of the pictures is of an balayage; if you have a salon that offers this kind of stuff, go for that. It doesn’t damage all of your hair and it’s easier to maintain imo.
But only trust the salon if they have pictures of their own salon available, since there are sooo many salons out there that don’t know shit about that kind of stuff but will tell you they can do it nonetheless because they want the money.

Or if the reason you don’t feel comfortable with your natural color is because you think you look better with the dyed color, maybe look into color analysis. It could be that you need to wear different colors of makeup and clothing with your natural color than what you’ve been wearing with your dyed hair.
