What stores do you tend to look at? I know the obvious places but I’m wondering if there are other luxury retailers with a good selection that I might be overlooking. Mainly looking for clothing, not shoes or accessories.
Ok hear me out. I wore claw clips almost every single day for like a year bc they're cute and convenient and my hair is thick so it holds them well. didn't think much of it until i noticed i had this weird section of breakage right where the clip always sat, like a little bald-ish patch of shorter, frizzy strands.
Did some digging and apparently the teeth on a lot of claw clips (especially the cheap ones) grip really hard in one concentrated spot, and if you're wearing it in the same spot every day that's basically just repeated stress on the same strands over and over. plus a lot of us clip it when hair is damp which makes it worse bc wet hair snaps easier.
Not saying throw them all away bc i still love them, but i've started switching up where I place it day to day and going for ones with softer/wider teeth instead of the thin sharp ones. also stopped clipping wet hair completely.
anyone else notice this or is my hair just weak lol. what accessories do you rotate to avoid this
ok not to be dramatic but my scalp has been so dry the past few months and i genuinely don't know what changed. flaking, itchy, tight feeling especially after i shower and it's not even a "oh i need to wash my hair less" thing bc i already stretch washes out
tried an anti dandruff shampoo and it didn’t worked?? also tried putting oil on my scalp before washing and that just made it feel greasy without actually fixing the flaking
genuinely losing it bc i can't wear dark clothes without checking my shoulders first lol. is this actually dandruff or is my scalp just dry, and does it matter which one it is? do i need to see a derm or is there something i'm missing that actually works long term instead of just temporary relief
pls tell me i'm not the only one dealing with this
I've spent way too much money on volumizing products that just make my hair feel dirty by afternoon. It turns out the real issue was how i was sleeping on it.
I switched from a regular cotton pillowcase to a silk one and started putting my hair in a loose top knot before bed. A ponytail creates a crease, so i avoided that. On the first day, I thought it was a fluke. Now, two weeks later my roots have real lift for the first time in years. Plus, my ends aren't frizzing like they used to.
I also got one of those clip claw things that everyone uses for messy bun tutorials. I didn't expect to like it but it doesn't leave a dent like regular claw clips. It somehow makes second day hair look more planned instead of lazy.
I'm just frustrated that it took me this long to realize the damage was happening while I slept for eight hours a night. Has anyone else had a "why didn't anyone tell me this sooner" hair moment?
I honestly think bleaching my hair was a huge mistake because it’s now super dry and brittle. andd no matter what treatment i try, nothing seems to work.
so is there any proven tips or holy grail product recommendations to bring my hair back to life?? How did you survive your bleached hair phase? Pls help your girl out
Honestly, I think I need a miracle? Or fairy Godmother?? I have oily, dry, and frizzy hair. To fix the oiliness, i tried washing it almost everyday but I know it’s not recommended since it dries out my scalp (which is already an issue 😭)
No matter what I do, I really can’t achieve the soft hair or at least make it more alive. I’ve tried several products like shampoos, conditioners, hair masks and even hair serums I saw on internet but nothing works. My hair literally looks like a broom because of how frizzy it is.
Does anyone relate to my situation? And have you found a product or method that actually works for this?
