Nothing works for my hair and I'm starting to lose hope

I've tried so many shampoos and conditioners yet none of them seem to work, and sometimes they end up making my hair look thin or more dry afterwards, though i haven't tried oils or any leave ins but I doubt they'd do much. I've had this issue for years and I thought I had somewhat fixed it a few months ago when I began using a blow dryer and diffuser with a curl cream,but after a few months it eventually went back to being like this. I'm pretty sure my hair is severely damaged but I have no clue to where to begin to fix it.

Help me figure out what’s wrong with my hair, thankful for any kind of advice (Beginner to haircare) 🫶

Can someone help me figure out why my hair is frizzy from root to ends and always looks like I have a nest on my head? It gets puffy after blowdrying even tho it feels soft. I can’t tell if it’s dryness, damage, porosity, breakage, or maybe wavy hair I’m treating wrong. Any advice appreciated 🙏

looking for advice on losing hair in middle part

18+/NSFW

hi! I recently noticed I can see my scalp a little more than usual and was wondering if this looks like hair loss or im just in my head lol , im 23 so im not sure if theres anything I can do right now to prevent even more from falling out. I usually do part my hair in the middle so im not sure if changing the part just a little will help, also I do have bangs as well and I do see a little more scalp towards the front with the bangs but i usually dont use any heat or pull them a lot, just flat clips to keep them in place.

Am I using the redken volume injection shampoo wrong or is it just overhyped? 😭

Hey everyone, need some troubleshooting help.

I have super flat, fine hair that gets oily within about 24 hours. After reading heaps of rave reviews on here, I finally splurged on the Redken Volume Injection shampoo (the pink bottle).

I’ve been using it for about three weeks now and honestly... my hair feels heavier than usual? It looks alright right after a blow-dry, but by the next morning, it’s completely plastered to my head and feels like there's a layer of product buildup on it.

I double shampoo, rinse really thoroughly, and only put conditioner on my mid-lengths down, so I don't think it's user error.

Has anyone else had this issue with Redken? Is it possible it’s just too heavy for actual fine hair? Tempted to just bin it and go back to my cheap baccarat shampoo from the supermarket at this rate haha.

Would black hair suit me?

I am blonde currently, and naturally a brunette.
Would love to get some outside perspectives. This is me with black hair filters. It’s been a thought for years now so definitely not on impulse however I’m quite pale and do have blue eyes. I think it is a hit or miss for working out so please let me know!

2b/2c wavy hair, at my wits end with breakage and frizz

As you can see really well from my heat styled pictures I have tons of breakage and I cannot figure out what is causing it, I've been fighting it for years with varying degrees of minimal success. I'm not a swimmer and I spend very little time outside. I changed over to satin pillowcases and hair specific microfiber towels, I very rarely put it up in hairties, I use the super stretchy, soft nylon ones and don't pull it up in tight hairstyles. I'm using a generic bounce curl brush from amazon that's part boar bristle part plastic and I'm super gentle and start from the ends when I brush it. I stopped bleaching or dying my hair a very long time ago, it's all virgin hair right now. I use heat maybe once a week, I only use the tymo pro curl on the lowest heat setting and always make sure to generously cover my hair in heat protectant before hand. I wash my hair every 3rd day and oil the mid lengths and ends before getting it wet, I try my best not to put too much hot water on it, I shampoo twice and every other wash I'll use the dove mask before the conditioner. I try to style soaking wet if I'm wearing it natural, I always apply a leave in conditioner and an oil, I use gel and then gently scrunch and shape with the brush and use the microfiber towel to scrunch out the rest of the water, last thing I do is hit it with Hairspray and then let it air dry the rest of the way, I do not have the patience to diffuse it. When it's dry I gently scrunch the crunch with a little bit of oil. I try not to go to bed on wet hair but it happens sometimes. I just got a trim last week and the salon was just as baffled as I am about the breakage. I have tried tons of products and rarely repeat buy anything and nothing has ever truly helped even just minimize the appearance of it, any advice or product recommendations are greatly appreciated, thanks for reading my long ass post lol

Is this a OK haircut?

I'm a bit embarrassed and not sure if it's a good haircut... I showed the barber what I wanted and it ended up being different. Heading to a wedding in a couple days and it's something different, almost like a walking broccoli. Yes, I have a scar on my side

Does anyone have any good product recommendations and maintenance tips for me to use in order to keep the vibrant red colour and keep it from fading😔
Thank you <3

Hairfall after using wishcare hairserum

My hair was healthy, so I thought why not try a serum. I started using WishCare Hair Growth Serum on 28th April, twice a week. For the past few days, my hair fall has increased. What should I do now—continue or stop? Because the serum's instructions mentioned that hair shedding would happen, but now I am very confused. Also, I have had thin hair since birth.

Girls who style their hair- how often do you wash it after working out?

I’m white and have frizzy curly hair that I religiously blow out because I can’t stand the volume in my face. One blowout usually lasts 4-5 days and I’m not even supposed to wash it more than 3 times a week (recommendation from stylist). I’ve been working out 5-6 days a week and can definitely feel the sweat seeping into my hair making it greasy so I’ve been washing it every day, and I obviously don’t want to heat damage my hair more than I need to by blowing it out every single night. Do you just let it sit and use dry shampoo? Should I just commit to the curls? Even if I do that I’m not supposed to wash it that frequently… help!!

Why does my hair do this?

Male 22 idk why my hair does this and it only does it to one side (inside Black Circle) it wasn’t as bad before I went to college and it started to do it more once I realized that the water in my dorm was hard water so I had been showering in that for 8 months during my year living on campus I have also noticed my hair doesn’t want to naturally part in the middle since I haven’t made it more of a habit and my hair tends to do this more (Black circle) when I’m trying to train it to stay a middle part. If that makes sense

Is my hair not straight?

I’ve always had very frizzy thick hair and it’s always dry no matter what I do. Hair masks, expensive shampoos and conditioners, oils etc. I was washing it yesterday and I always get these “curls” but I’ve always treated my hair like it’s straight. Am I treating it wrong? I know I got the same hair type as my dad which is curly but I only thought I got the thick hair from him not curls.

HELP! I double shampoo and my hair is still greasy :(

I wash my hair once every 2-3 days, I pretty much always double shampoo because the first time doesn’t lather at all.

I also do not condition my hair. I know that some people say I’m not sealing the cuticle when I don’t use conditioner but I don’t understand what that means or why its a problem because I have healthy hair and receive regular haircuts to cut off dead ends.

Anyways. I shampoo two times with a lightweight shampoo, and either won’t condition or i’ll use a lightweight oil based leave in (biosilk) even when I don’t use biosilk my hair is greasy from the moment it gets dry, not in the ends but on my scalp. where I literally just shampooed it!! 😅

I did a google search and it gave me a lot of results based on not using shampoo properly (on the ends instead of roots) and not washing out conditioner. I know neither of those are my problem.

One theory is that shampooing twice makes my scalp overcompensate with natural oils, but it’s instant, the second my hair dries.

Any advice on how to avoid instant grease after washing? Or any advice on replacements for double shampooing to avoid my scalp overcompensating with oil?
