r/Hair

This is the last time I follow a cute trendy bang tutorial on instagram.

As the caption says, i’m trying to fiddle with my hair a bit to make it look more feminine. For a little context, I shaved my head about a year ago on impulse and i’ve worn wigs almost every day since. My hair is finally about shoulder length and i want to let it breathe and feel comfortable with it, but i can’t seem to find a style that is feminine. Any help or cute hairstyle photos would be greatly appreciated!!! (extended hair to show length when straight, it does reach a bit past my shoulders when i straighten it) thanks :)

Some my hair styles over the past few years. First is 5 years ago. Second is 2 years ago. Third is March 2026. Fourth is today. The second pic is the best picture I have of that hairstyle unfortunately.

I have fine, long straight hair. It used to be great until the last 3 months no matter what I do it permanently look greasy. Even after a fresh wash and dry.
In the photos I have just washed and DRIED IT. But the roots still look greasy and they feel heavy

I thought I wasn’t washing out my products right, or maybe using too much (I use rituals shampoo and conditioner and detox shampoo every 3 weeks)
But I’ve tried using less product, no product, rinsing out for longer, having someone else rinse my hair

But no matter what, it just looks greasy. The only way I’ve been fixing it is if I use a lot of dry shampoo but that’s been making my hair dry and dead looking instead so I don’t know what I have to do anymore and it’s affecting my self esteem

I started seeing my stylist at the end of last year for just cuts and treatments. I had highlights from a previous stylist. I asked her almost 6 months ago if she'd be open to doing my color, and she introduced me to balayage. THIS IS 6 MONTH OLD HAIR!! Just maintenance appointments with toner. Safe to say, I will never go back to highlights. 😅 God bless her hands and other stylists in this sub because y'all are truly so skilled.

This is my first time trying heatless curl with heatless curl rods. Usually I use small hair rollers. For context, my hair is naturally wavy (2a), coarse, and quite a lot. When I use hair rollers, I usually leave them for 3-4hrs before going out. The blowout style can stay for 1 day before my hair goes back to its original wave. So I thought I'd do the same with this heatless curl rods and see how long the curl will stay.

I saw tiktok videos where they only use 3 rods for their whole hair so at first I only bought 3. As it turns out, not only did I get smaller rods (the usual marketplace photo scam), my hair is also too thick for only 3 rods. In the end I bought another 3 and used 6 in total. After 4 hours, my first impression was... I didn't like it lol. The curls kinda go here and there unruly. Idk if I rolled wrong (I rolled the same way like I do my hair rollers), but it just doesn't look as good as what I saw on most videos in tiktok. It only worked when I part my hair to the sides. I had to go out so I put my hair in half up with claw clip. When I got back home 2hrs later, the curls had loosen up and I actually kinda liked it.

I wanna try to leave the rods longer but I'm afraid if I leave it any longer, the curls will end up even crazier, and will take longer to loosen up lol. Anyone who's done heatless curl rods, any tips? Did I roll wrong? I roll mostly inward btw.

P.s. this was done on freshly dried hair after wash (shampoo only).

Quite desperate here. I know I posted here before but idk what to do

I’ve been thinking a lot about trying a bleached buzz cut because I’ve had the same cut for a while and I want to try something new. Looking at my appearance (first picture) would trying something like the second picture be a big mistake? I’m about to book a haircut and if it would be a disaster I’ll just go with what I have currently. This is a genuine question, I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to hair so please be nice.

I'm being a 1960s alien for halloween and doing my hair with bouffant flip thing. When I practice my hair I want it to be bigger. I know they would use curlers to set the hair and back tease but it's not big enough. I was going cut one of those hair donuts and hair clip in extensions I can cut close to my natural length to help since I have fine hair. Any other suggestions to help.

This is when I practiced it and the second pic is the ideal height. Thanks in advance

Considering these shades. First photo is the original/my hair color. I actually prefer two-tone hair, so if you have suggestions for multiple colors, that's ok too. Thanks!

I would love to get a layered haircut similar to a hush cut, wolf cut or long shag (but no bangs). Unfortunately I have zero wave or texture to my hair, and don't have the time or motivation to style it. Are there any cuts like this something that would work on very straight hair, without styling? Any advice for what to ask so I can get some movement and shape in my hair?

I have insanely straight hair, thick but fine and very glossy/slippery. Mid-back length. It refuses to ever hold a curl; overnight, heat, product, etc. (I can't use conditioner or it will slip right out of a ponytail or bun).

References of what I'd like attached.

I have shoulder length mid density curls. And I’m shedding this amount of hair every time I take a shower in two to three days. I have also attached photos of my hairline

Would it be possible to achieve my natural color over my current hair? 😬

I just cut my bangs, they were microbangs before but I don’t know if they really suit me. Anyways, this is how they look now. The last photo is when I got the microbangs. Any advice for improvement are welcomed.

I used a lot of purple shampoo in the second photo (that’s why there is a blue hint lol) but I really want to go back blonde!! Lmk!!

This is my hair! I’m a natural curly ginger and right now it has a darker gloss on it for fall. I had bangs and I liked them they were just hard to manage. What can I do to boost my hair rather that be a cut or something else.

Was bored and wanting a change last night so I put this over my bleach blonde hair - nothing crazy, just what I thought looked close to my natural colour. Spoiler: it's not 😭😭 my roots / natural strands are dark orange and my hair that was bleached is like a darker purple / gray. It looks AWFUL. How can I get this to fade or look any better then the mess it currently is? How long am I stuck like this? Am I screwed? Any advice greatly appreciated
