im in the middle of major development on my island but not sure what to do with this small space in between houses and staircases so that i dont see the cliff… any ideas?
edit: its 2x3 and unfortunately fruit trees do not fit ;(
Hair type: Fine, straight virgin hair. Extremely soft but not shiny. Gets very oily and needs daily washing.
Climate: Extremely humid summers, moderately humid winters.
Current routine:
- Shampoo twice (Pantene Sheer Volume followed by Monday Volume)
- Treatment if using one
- Conditioner OR mask (Monday Volume, Redken Volume Injection, Dove Bond Repair, etc.)
- Leave-in (rotating between Tresemmé, Color Wow Dream Coat, and Unove)
I use Dove Bond Repair Mask about once a week and Garnier Bond Repair or K18 about once a month (or whenever my ends start feeling rough).
I was on Accutane last year and lost a lot of hair. The good news is it's all growing back now (plus I've improved my nutrition and supplements), but it's growing back a LOT (picture 2). My hair basically has two lengths now: my original hair and tons of shorter regrowth hairs that stick out in every direction.
About two years ago I got really into haircare and have tried pretty much everything: hair training, Blowout Professor, Abbey Yung, Korean haircare/styling methods, different washing techniques, products, tools, water filters, etc.
Things that haven't worked:
- Hair training (yup i tried)
- Dry shampoo (makes my scalp itchy, causes breakouts, and makes my hair feel gross)
I've accepted that daily washing is what my hair needs.
I also:
- Sleep on a silk pillowcase
- Use a microfiber towel
- Braid my hair at night
- Blow dry my hair after washing
I can't blow dry upside down because it makes my hair super frizzy, so I dry in sections while lifting the roots.
My problem: Despite all of this, I have flyaways everywhere. The worst ones are around my face and the top layer/crown area. I have grown-out bangs that will be cut again soon (my crown is completely flat without them), but even the rest of my hair has tons of flyaways. I know that the new growth is making the flyaways worse but I have always struggled with them.
I get flyaways immediately after washing, blow drying, smoothing, and even using the flyaway attachment on my Dyson Coanda with max heat followed by a cold shot. The first picture is my hair AFTER putting a lot of effort into styling and using the flyaway attachment while at home:/ Flyaways are there indoors, and humidity makes them much worse.
At this point I'm not sure what I’m dealing with and have invested so much into my hair. For people with very fine, straight hair, what helped you reduce flyaways? I'm desperate 🥲
P.S. Any styling advice is also appreciated, the dyson is great but atm it’s just a fancy blowdryer for me because airwrapping does not hold at all, my hair falls before im even done styling it
