I’m looking to change or keep (I don't know, whatever is best) my haircut. Does anyone have recommendations for a haircut that works well with this type of hair or way to maintain it easily? I’m hoping for something that is easier to manage.

​Also, I’ll be spending two months this summer in a place with a water shortage. Any tips on haircuts or products that make hair easier to maintain when you have limited water access would be amazing.

​Attached is my current hair —thanks in advance for any advice!

We went to this place last night that my other son went to and got his hair done exactly how he wanted by an amazing stylist. I was super happy for him that he had such a great experience.

So I made an appointment for my other son because his usual stylist was booked out a few weeks, I’m going away for a few days and he really wanted a haircut before I left. I told the receptionist exactly what I told them for my other son - scissor cut only, no clippers, and with a stylist who is in the know with like, a trendy men’s shag cut or something similar because my son likes to wear his hair a little longer and messy.

I thought all was well, but when we got there I dropped him at the door with my husband while I parked and when I came in he was already in the chair with the man I saw last time who I thought was the salon barber. I was a little confused, but thought maybe he did haircuts too. I’m not sure he did though because when we got home, my son told me he dropped the scissors multiple times while he was cutting his hair and even cut himself once and had to get a bandaid.

My son said he seemed irritated during the haircut, and I started wondering if it was because he thought his appointment coming in (last appointment at the end of the night 7:00) was for a clipper cut and he was surprised to find out it was a scissor cut.

I don’t know, what do you think of the cut? Keeping my opinions to myself, but haircut brought my son to tears. The last photo are pictures of what his hair normally looks like. The top left photo is what it looked like just before the haircut. I know his hair looks messy in the before pics, but thats how he loves his hair 🤷‍♀️

I just got my haircut 5 days ago and I absolutely hate it. My bangs are uneven and I have visible layers. First cut with this person was the best cut I’ve had in a while. Went back and I said I want the same cut because I loved it. He checked it out and said he knew what to do. Now I can’t put my hair up because one side of my bangs looks like a straight blunt cut. Am I being ridiculous? Just want to make sure I’m not crazy.

So I got highlights (I’m naturally brunette)
And she did them too close to root and was a stripe. So I asked to blend it out and do a root smudge but it looks purple in the light? It’s meant to be brunette? What do I do? Thanks

I’ve been on a journey of getting my natural black hair to a light brown. My goal was a milk tea brown but I haven’t gotten there yet. Last night my mom touched up my roots since she does hair but she used a chocolate blonde on me and now my hair is very dark and completely different than what I had recently. Here’s my before and after, then the colors I want. Would this be doable if I visit a salon?

For context I’ve really wanted light highlights that look like the picture attached. I have 4a-ish curly hair and usually keep my hair straightened with the proper heat protectant care and it has been quite resistant to much visible damage. There is the occasional breakage as one would expect but I was wondering if highlights would be a bad idea. I’m really scared of my hair being damaged and having unimaginable frizz. Also the only thing color wise I’ve had in my hair was manic panic semi permanent dye in vampire red on top of my natural hair color (deep brown).

And would I have to pay to have this fixed?

I always thought it was ugly but looking back I kind of like it!!

I recently got my hair dyed just like the first two pictures (third one is me).I know that these colors fade quickly so | want to make sure to do good upkeep! What wella dyes do y'all think I could mix to achieve a color similar to this? I tried asking my stylists but they were gatekeeping 😭😭 Please let me know what I can do!

hoping to use a demi permanent to make maintenance a little easier xx any advice is really helpful! would like it leaning more towards a brown with deeper undertones not a true red xxx

i have been looking at different hairstylists in my area since i’m trying to get my hair from faded black dye (highlights before, natural hair is black) all of the hairstylists i’ve asked has either quoted an absurd amount of money (understandable) or test strands since i’ve had previous color. this hairstylist specializes in dark hair to highlights or blonde. i was just wondering if skipping the test strand is okay?
