Pls help me out !! My hair is very dead from bleaching it and I have very bad split ends . What and how can I fix my hair? My hair does not grow longer than this and my layers have been the same for 2 years . Any recommendations, suggestions, or products that can help me . ( also thinking of going brunette)

CW: hair and scalp :(

so this started about a week after my final college exams in mid may - chunks of my hair will come out every time i run my hair through it in the shower, i shed all the time and a couple strands will fall out everytime i so much as even touch my hair. in the pic, that's how much comes out after running it through my head twice, and even more came out as many times as i worked shampoo and conditioner into my hair.

i had a really rough couple of weeks leading up to and during my finals (spending 14 hours a day in the library and only coming out for lunch and dinner) but for the effects to last for months is so dramatic. this is accompanied with dandruff/sebborheic dermatitis which I've had before and comes and goes but never as bad as it has been recently.

I've been taking b-complex pills daily because that's what my father said fixed his sebborheic dermatitis + 4 pills of 900mcg biotin to help with it, but zero changes seem to have happened. all the biotin did was make my fingernails super strong. I'm terrified to brush my hair in the morning because the horror of seeing just how much I'm losing. I've been trying to convince myself my scalp looks fine but i really think 19 is too early to be balding.

any advice is greatly appreciated :(

So to start off, I bleach and tone my hair on my own every 3-6 months. I personally like to have a decent amount of new growth before I re-bleach, and im very aware that bleach kills your hair, but I've never had it look like this before, its dry and frizzy and it gets tangled easier.

my problem is, I can't distinguish the amount of it that's dead/damaged, and i don't know my hair type. and are there any ways to try and fix it without cutting alot of it off? I've tried switching shampoos and conditioners, hair oils, masks, everything to rehydrate and it only lasts a couple days 😭

im really proud of my growth and I don't want to lose it 🥹

It's my first time growing out my hair and I'm kind of worried. I'm asking about those visible strands that don't follow the rest of the hair. is this frizz, is my hair damaged or is it something else?

Saw the back of my hair in a fitting room today and I cant believe how my hair looks… it doesnt usually look this bad in normal lighting but I guess this is the true state! Im utterly attached to my hair and take good care of it so not sure what Im doing wrong! Had a bob 3 years ago and trying to get it as long as possible. Since then, I do all the following: trim the ends, no heat, brush from the bottom, sleep with a satin pillowcase and in a braid, no tight hairstyles, was 2/3 times a week and occasionally oil my scalp. Any help is appreciated!!🙏🏼thank you!!❤️

Something in my curl cream makes my hands really numb for the rest of the day every time I use it. It's just my hands, never any other area my hair touches. This also happens when I use argan oil. Do any of these ingredients cause that?

Does this happen to anyone else? Everywhere I look, people say they've never heard of this. I'm not sure if it's an allergy but it doesn't feel like one. There's usually no symptoms besides hand numbness after handling the product. I doubt I'd have a reaction if I applied it with gloves but that's beside the point.

I realize this is incredibly last minute but I have been recovering from surgery and my hair has been at the bottom of my priority list.

I’ve been using Prose since 2021. (Ingredient lists attached if anyone is interested, I just ordered the leave-in, I’ve never used a leave-in before).

My hair used to be extremely low maintenance and barely needed to be washed but in the last 3 years, I’ve been dealing with extremely dry, frizzy hair that’s prone to breakage and a very sensitive, itchy scalp that gets greasy within 24 hours of washing. My hair shedding has also gotten really out of hand.

My current routine is:

Double cleanse every other day

Condition every other day

Oil my scalp and hair with pumpkin seed oil once a week

Hair mask for 2 minutes in the shower once a week

Clarify once a month (Pacifica Rosemary Apple Cider Detox Tonic)

Is there anything else I can do to tame the frizz, grease, and dryness and slow the shedding?

IMPORTANT NOTE: I can’t do any fragrance at all.

Thank you!!

It’s around the bottom of my boobs, but idk maybe cuz I have frizzy and thick hair, the width of my hair makes my length look shorter to me so I’m hoping to grow roughly 2 more inches. Im gonna get my hair thinned out which I already do bi monthly however I’m thinking of taking maybe an inch for now?

Thank you!

i 19f have always had pin straight thick hair, ever since birth. i have had people ask me if i straighten my hair every day, i dont. but recently since mid may the hair near my hairline has started forming some curls. at first it was just one strand now its forming all over the place. it looks incredibly frizzy, i dont ever put heat in my hair, no flat iron, curling or blow dryer. when i get out the shower it immediately starts curling . i went to ulta and they recommended a hair mask, i did it yesterday and it took away all the frizz and curled. i was wondering what else i could do bc the rest of my hair is super straight i feel like i look crazy.

I’ve been struggling with frizzy hair recently and cannot figure out how to fix it I’ve tried different masks, shampoos/conditioners, oils, etc. I’m not sure what I’m using that is causing this amount of frizz but I cannot find a way to fix it. I take a shower 2/3 times a week and use a micro fiber towel to scrunch my hair but sleep in a silk bonnet wrap.

I use these products:

Amika hydro rush shampoo & conditioner
Amika soulfood mask use 2 times a week
Amika frizz-me-not spray
Amika curl corps defining cream
Amika curl corps enhancing gel
(Rotate gels) Not your mother’s sculpting flash freeze gel no.5
Keratase Magic Night Serum
K-18 Repair Hair Oil

I went to get a haircut at this cheap place ive gone to only 3 times and it had been like 3 months since ive gone and well the guy gave me a high fade when i wanted a low fade and to make it even worse it revealed these spots that i assume is ringworm??? Or could it be something else i also have small pimple like bumps on the top and sides of my head im so ashamed to even go out im going to wear a beanie for 2 months now.

Very happy with my own natural hair🙋🏼‍♀️

I cried and I’m kind of in solution mode now. Because if I keep crying I’ll never get out of this hole. Basically I have been ill for 3 years, lost huge amounts of hair. Treatment started 1 year ago and my hair was slowly growing back. Has taken so long to get some sort of hair back and I was finally feeling happy with my hair.

I got a haircut Monday just to take the dead ends and shape my front. I clearly explained to the stylist that my hair is quite fine and to not put excessive layers. She clearly didn’t listen and has cut chunks from my hair. I don’t understand how people like this can call themselves hairdressers. My 10 year old nephew could do a better job.

How do people cope with this? I feel so ugly. It has taken 2-3 years to get my hair back slowly and she’s gone and ruined it all.

Do I need to try style it better? Accept it’s ugly and wear a hairclip? Get a little fake extension bun to tie my hair up?

I attached a photo at the end of my hair on Sunday (one day before she butchered it).

TIA

I am writing this as an acceptance post. A lot of people (myself included) have been struggeling to view our hair as beautiful, because it isn't straight nor curly. We have tried the curly girl method and also treating our hair as if it was straight. We've tried to find out what we are doing "wrong" or what exactly we are missing. I think the truth is that some peoples hair is supposed to look exactly that way. Big, poofy, textured and less shiney. And it's still beautiful! At this point I'm happy with all the volume my hair has. The flying hairs make it seem ethereal. So if you feel like this post speaks to you then try seeing the beauty in ur own hair. The things that make it so special and the advantages it has.
