I'm so sad! Anyways I need to look for a new one I'm wondering if the new Chi flat irons are just as good as the old ones or if there are any other brands you would recommend.
Seriously my hair is growing at a normal but slightly slower pace and my hairstylist said its just how my hair grows (i saw her about a month ago). Is this hair thinning or just me being paranoid?
(My hair has never been bleached just throwing that out there) so I dyed my hair brown with box dye randomly one day and I liked it so I’ve just had it like that for a year now..I dyed it a few other times to make it the shade I wanted so it wasn’t a one time thing. I’m kinda wanting to go back to blond because I think it suits me better but growing it back out would be a pain and the roots look weird since my hair is so much darker now. Is the process to getting it dyed blond even a good idea at this point? I don’t think my hair is damaged but I’m not sure. If it sounds like a possible thing to do I’ll go get a consultation but I don’t wanna bother if it’s not possible at this point. I don’t know how much box dye damages it so that’s why I’m asking 👀
I have this gisou hair mask from the Sephora birthday set, and I’ve never used a hair mask before. The directions say “use as an overnight treatment weekly” but I’m not sure what that means??? do I apply it after I shower on wet hair, or apply it on dry hair and wash it in the morning?
Im not sure if this makes a difference, but the results I’m looking for are just to reduce frizz and dryness on wavy hair.
Any help is much appreciated!!!
Hi! I have rlly long bleached damaged hair. I was starting to get really worried cuz my ends were severely dry and brittle after continuous bleaching so I bought a bottle of “k18”. I’ve been using it for 3 months and my hair is literally cured. It feels SILKY and SOFT to the touch almost nicer than my previous unbleached hair!! However I realised my bottle is FAKE - I compared it to an official salon bottle today and it’s 100% fake!! It has no batch code, the smell is different and I bought it for waaaaay cheaper than the official price. But my hair feels amazing 🤯 I’ve seen people review similar k18 fakes and say the same thing!! what should I do? I’ve been told to stop using counterfeit immediately but my hair has never felt this nice before 😭
Any time I use a heat protector spray it makes my hair feel weird. Like sticky kinda. If I try to brush my hair out or run my fingers through it it feels oddly tangled. I have thinner oily hair and so I need something light weight as to not make my hair feel greasy. Any recommendations?
I had my hair bleached yesterday. I had highlights all over and especially at my roots following a balayage I had done 11 months ago that was growing out. My hairdresser went full-on blonde, applying bleach to lots of small sections of hair. It lifted my hair a lot, which is what I wanted, and she applied a toner which made it a honey-blonde/golden colour.
She said that the bleach she was using was gentle and that the toner would help close the hair cuticle ??? (no idea honestly but it sounded good).
I have been researching products for at least an hour now, reading reviews and such, but still have no idea what to go for as my post-bleach routine. I was previously using Tresemme Moisture Rich products but post-bleach I’m not sure if they’ll be strong enough for how dry it’s left my hair.
I’ve been debating scalp oils, hair masks, leave-in creams vs sprays, bond repair stuff etc, but have no idea what to go for as everyone has conflicting opinions. I know that everyone’s hair is different so there’s no guarantee something will work for me but I don’t even know where to start; there are so many options!
I don’t have a strict budget but I don’t want it to take the P! I’ve looked into both Olaxplex and K18 and both are expensive for what you get but I am willing to* *splash out if it will genuinely help my hair, but the reviews are conflicting.
My hair is thick but I’m not sure if the strands are fine or not, long-ish (falls to the middle of my back), very prone to knots and the hair which has been bleached is obviously now pretty dry. I regrettably didn’t look after my hair properly after the balayage that I had done 11 months ago because I was being too frugal and it left my hair in a bad state for a while. I couldn’t get it to take any moisture and I felt like a stack of hay.
Advice very much appreciated!
I have about hip bone length hair, i do not use any heat on it. The only thing that worries me is breakage, when its wet it is very stretchy, like an elestic tie. I do not brush it when its wet, i try to use bond repair products but it doesn't seem to help. Im bit in shock reading that the only way to repair it is to buzz it all off and start all over 😅
I have very very dry hair. I've tried a bunch of stuff from the local beauty shop and some work better than others. Last week, I thought I'd splurge and went to a specialist hair products shop. It's a small shop and has only like 10 brands and they specialize in giving personalized advice. I've never been there before.
So I walk in, take out my hair tie and the girl analyzes my hair. She offers me a shampoo, conditioner and leave in conditioner (which doubles as a heat protector), all from Orro. She instructs me: double shampoo but only use a pea amount of the shampoo, it won't foam, foam is just something cheap brands add but you don't need. And only use 2 sprits of the leave in conditioner (1 sprits on each side). She also warns me: it will probably take 2 or 3 weeks till you see effects.
So today I try it for the first time. The shampoo not foaming is really throwing me off. Because I'm supposed to get all of my scalp, right? But the pea amount not foaming doesn't allow that. So I take more shampoo. I do that twice. I let the conditioner set in for a few minutes.
After the shower, I sprits the leave in conditioner once, but as it's also a heat protector, I sprits it a few more times because I don't want my hair to damage from the blow dryer. Also, nowhere on the bottle does it say that it's a heat protector.
When my hair is fully dried, I have very frizzy hair. And I know she told me that it would take a few weeks.
But now I'm wondering, are expensive products actually better than the regular ones? Or is it a scam?
so idk if I would classify my hair as ‘greasy’ but I use the L’Oréal shampoo for greasy hair anyway. I clarify with shampoo once a week and apply conditioner only to my ends. I literally have to clip my front pieces to stop them from separating but even that doesn’t help.
I really need advice cause I lowkey look so stupid with these little separated pieces and they make me look so greasy even after i JUST showered😭
Has anyone tried it? What vinegar do I use and how much and often? I would love to try it
(I need a hair cut I know) lol but my hair is always a frizzy mess. Some parts of it is wavy and others are straight. I never know what to do with it. Should I try a wavy hair routine? Currently I just wash it and let it air dry because I try not to use heat on my hair. Should I try the wavy hair routine? Any tips would be great
My hair is extremely dry. I just went outside and this is how my hair looks . I washed my hair with oil yesterday (no shampoo). Conditioners are basically useless for me.If I shampoo my hair ,I will have to apply oil after ,the next day I have to use a lot of oil again otherwise it will get very dry and impossible to manage.
I know I have curly hair but I prefer long hair so I am not sure about following a curly hair routine.
Please recommend some affordable products, treatment or routine.
I just got my hair done by a new stylist yesterday. I’ve had a lot of balayages done in the past and this one is definitely bottom 3. I am very particular though, so I don’t know if I’m just being picky. The thing I dislike the least is that she dyed the underside of the back of my hair very solid dark.. is this common? The first 4 pictures are of my hair and the last is my inspiration picture. It also cost $400! Should I ask for her to fix it? What exactly should I say if I should?
Does anybody know how to fix this dead hair please I’ve bleached it like 10 times I need a low cost product recommendation plz.
Long story short, I got a work-related scalp laceration (nobody's fault, total accident) and had to get 6 staples to the head last Saturday. The wound is near the forehead but not visible apart from the huge patch of gauze I have to wear, presumably until it heals.
The issue is, I can't wash my hair until I get these staples out. The doc told me she can't really estimate how long until I can take them out yet, as it's only been 3 days. I know online it says after 48 hrs you can gently wash around the area but she said to hold off on showering entirely for a bit so I'm following her instructions.
I have to return to work tomorrow, but my hair obviously smells pretty bad, and it will only get worse until the wound heals up. My desk is in a position where all my coworkers have to pass by me multiple times a day while I'm sitting down so they will get full scalp stank lol. I think my only choice to keep any dignity is to cover it up somehow but with what? What's the most professional way to go about it? A bandana? Hoodie? Just tie up what I can and hope the stank gets trapped? It's a more casual workplace, thankfully, but still an office job.
I have medium-long wavy/curly hair. Also just considering being suuuuper careful and washing just one half of my head and as much of the crown as possible, but I'm a clumsy person.
Advice would be much appreciated, especially from people who have been in my position before!!!
The bottle says “UV Protection Packaging”
I work at an elementary school in Texas and go outside for recess 30 mins every day around noon. Do I need to do anything to protect my scalp from the sun with this product on?
After years of frustration, I resigned to hating my hair, and in the past two years I decided to give it a real try again. My hair is long, high density/thick, straight, and very prone to getting too oily, especially at the roots, after even a day without washing. I’m unsure on the thickness of my hair. I used to always think fine = thin but learning it doesn’t, I’m wondering if it’s fine and that’s the root of some of my issues? It’s been really hard for me to tell, so I included a photo of a strand of my hair if anyone has any input. I used to wash my hair daily but now I’m going more every other day. Even still, it’s a toss up if on day 2 my hair will look okay or if I’ll have to wear a headband or ponytail, because as much as dry shampoo doesn’t hurt, it also doesn’t help all that much. I have no color in my hair but got a clear gloss at my last haircut, which I did like and feel gave dimension color wise to my hair . I will list out my problem areas and my products, any advice appreciated, I am a TRUE beginner, I don’t even know how to describe my hair color LOL
1. Front pieces. I always hate how the front of my hair sits. I have tried bangs and that was an even bigger nightmare. I feel like it always separates in the front and looks greasy or looks super flat. My last hair cut I asked for longer face framing pieces and I like the look of them but it doesn’t help this problem for me in the way I hoped it might. I have a really hard time with volume, more on that next. I just don’t know how to get around this because I feel like it often automatically makes it a bad hair day!
2. Can’t get a curl or volume to hold. I have very straight hair naturally. I never straighten it and until recently I never even used heat whatsoever, I’d just air dry and brush. I recently got the Shark FlexStyle NextGen IonCurl and I love the blowdryer, but I’ve had a hard time giving myself the volume I wanted. I really desperately wanted to be able to give myself a bouncy blowout look, and I’ve been able to get SOME volume, but it has fallen out quite quickly. Curls have lasted under an hour. I haven’t used it many times yet so I’m sure it’s partially my technique as I’m learning, but I do feel I need a product for any shadow of a chance. I used Kenra Extra Firm 17 Mousse and already returned it. I was able to get some volume on some uses but overall no curl hold whatsoever and didn’t look how I wanted at all. Does some hair just not curl.. or am I just going about this wrong? I did use hair spray but I would love any product recommendations. My hair is just so flat, dull, and often frizzy at the top. I know my hair is long and would be willing to sacrifice some length if that’s the likely culprit.
3. As I said in intro, my hair gets greasy very quickly and I’m prone to dandruff. I currently use head and shoulders (I know it’s often frowned upon but I will get dandruff if not), Paul Mitchell Classic Awapuhi shampoo which was recommended to me by a hairdresser years ago, and recently introduced L’Oréal Elvive Hyaluron + Pure Rehydrating Conditioner. I never used to even use a conditioner because my water is very hard and has mineral problems and it wouldn’t ever wash out well enough and I’d be left with a film. This conditioner has been great and the lengths of my hair feel SO much softer already in only a few weeks of using it and it washes out really well. I’ve heard of chelating shampoos like Malibu C and am wondering if I need to work in something like that, and/or work in any other products, especially for hydrating. Like could excess oil be from a dry scalp, should I ultimately be hydrating my scalp more? Any product / shower haircare advice or recommendations would be appreciated.
4. Last but CERTAINLY not least: the Bulk of it all. I feel like my hair just always looks so bulky and it’s like a helmet. Last haircut I asked for a U-cut instead of straight across like I usually did, and my hairdresser recommended “invisible layers” for the bulkiness, which I said yes to, but I’m just not sure if it’s done much.? When I’ve done layers years ago they looked choppy with my straight hair so I’ve hesitated to try again. But I don’t know what to do about this. It makes me feel really insecure and I feel like I can’t get around it. Haircut advice? Styling advice? Anything at all?😭
Any kind advice would be appreciated!! I know I might’ve been a bit too thorough, but I didn’t want to miss anything because I really am such a total newbie in haircare.
Photos:
1&2: hair blowdried and brushed after a shower. Natural state of my hair without product or straightening etc.
3rd: a strand of my hair, looking for thoughts if it’s fine or medium thickness?
4&5: my hair on a day I used kenra mousse and hairspray and curled with shark after a few hours. Still significantly more texture than my natural hair but flat at top and certainly not curled
6: hair before most recent cut. shows pretty well what I mean when I say my hair feels bulky and too much
7: also before most recent cut, just figured ponytail would be helpful to see
8: most recent, used shark
9: a day I tried SO hard to give myself a blowout. at first it looked sort of bouncy but that was by the evening. I hated how it looked, felt so bulky, heavy, and dull
I don't really have a routine, I just use Pantene in the shower and I detanged in the shower with my hands and then I use a microfiber after the shower and then air dry.
Would love to know my hair type to be able to have a better routine
I cant tell if my hair is dry or damaged. My hair is great underneath, but on the surface (the part that is on the outside getting exposed to everything) is like this. I have curly/wavy hair if I let it air dry. In this picture I had blow dried it after putting in a leave in. Any affordable product recommendations?
