I posted a while back about crazy frizzy, frumpy hair and got some suggestions regarding wavy hair methods. I am trying those out, but now I am losing handfuls of hair every time I shower.
Previously I was using Rosemary/rice water shampoo and conditioner bars, and pretreating my hair with fermented rice water, which I have successfully used before to regrow hair. With this routine my hair was dry and frizzy but I didn’t lose much.
Now I am still doing these, but I am also using a leave-in conditioner (Odele), and either a mousse (Not your mom’s) or a curl cream (Marc Anthony). Once a week I do an overnight castor oil mask. Then I plop my hair for a bit and let it air dry the rest of the way.
The moisture and texture of my hair have improved some (though still frizzier and crazier than I’d like. But I am losing so much hair. Any ideas what would cause that and what to do about it? I can imagine losing some after a castor oil mask because it is so heavy, but I’m losing a lot of hair all week long. Any help is appreciated!

I’ve always had an oily scalp. Upon moving to a tropical climate, my scalp started smelling like cheese and the smell progressively got worse.

I lathered 2% ketocanazole shampoo on my scalp prior to taking a shower, letting it sit for 15 full minutes. I did this for five days and the smell is gone.

I tried everything, even the 2% ketocanazole shampoo, but I didn’t leave it on long enough.

Hope this helps.

Sorry in advance for tha faults, i'm not native english

When i was a teenager, i was washing my hair everyday and it was very pretty but also never very long. The ends always became very dry but i admit i didn't really know how to properly take care of it.

Then i tried to wash less often bc i was told it was bad so during a few years i washed it every four days. I've lost TONS of hair bc of this as my scalp was oily and in bad shape and so my hairs fell a lot.

Now i wash it 3 times a week but i have to use dry shampoo in between the wash to maintain the oilyness in control... i'm hesitating to wash it every day again but i'm afraid for my lenghth. I have the project to have very long hair, so i need to take care of the lenghth and i've read everywhere that's its bad for them if they are wet too often.

I have fine hair that are straight at the top and wavy at the bottom.

im 16m and my hair is breaking away like everytime i run my finger thru it

For context, in late January I got a straight perm, and then in early June I impulsively got a digital perm which I ended up hating and tried to wash out as soon as I got home (not the smartest idea I know).

My hair is naturally wavy and very frizz prone, so now what I’m left with is wavy frizzy hair that is also breaking a lot closeish to the roots (I can see the broken hairs sticking up at the top of my head).

The products I’m using right now are the &honey melty moist shampoo, unove conditioner and the fino hair mask (I interchange the conditioner and mask every wash). I also use the wow colour dream coat heat protectant, but I’m not sure if it’s actually working since I read it requires tension to activate and I’m not willing to put tension on my wet and already weak hair.

Are there any specific products I should use for my issue?

does anyone else regret that one haircut that not to be dramatic, completely shattered their confidence and i dont wanna speak into existence--but hair? what should i do?

guys layers genuinely ruined my hair, its been 6 months since i got my haircut, and i dont see a visible difference in any length or blending together. if anything i feel like it just looks more awkward. i have this rat tail, and my hair was hip length now who knows, just layers everywhere and it touches my waist (and thats the longest part). she completely messed it up, i wanted the longest section to be most of my hair, but the longest section is approximately one third of it. two thirds (meant to be face framing pieces and maybe some extra strands) are drastically shorter. theyre past my chest but look significantly shorter than the longest piece. it all just looks damaged, and like a rat tail. im acc grieving ik its not that deep, but i also have iron deficiency and traction alopecia, so my length overcompensated before the cut. now its thin and volumeless, plus this cut. my hair was my best quality now its sooo mid i cant believe how one haircut did this. i loved my hair my entire life, and it was such a part of my confidence, my most complimented feature:( i knew that even tho i had other insecurities i could rely on my hair. nope. not anymore. im so upset and angry. like no offence she had one job. ughhh. it just looks so awkward. went from flowy to awkward. btw like i said my hairs thin and also dryyyy so in combination with it all im just so upset and i never got used to it i just become more sad. esp when i wanna wear a specfic dress or get glammed up i think abt my old hair and how much better it is.

I heard that minoxidil is the best solution, any brands suggestion? Or perhaps tips? I'm practically thinning and I'd love nothing more than to preserve my long hair​​​​​​​​.

I’m in that weird stage where I actually like my hair color for once, but the ends are still humbling me every time I dry it. My roots and mids look fine, then the last few inches get that rough feeling once everything is fully drying down. Not crispy exactly, just not soft in the way I expected after doing a careful routine. I use leave in, try not to rub it with a towel, and I don’t blast it on the hottest setting. Still, the ends kind of announce themselves lol.

I’m trying to figure out if this is just normal for processed hair, or if my technique is secretly making it worse. Do you usually treat rough ends as a trim sign, a moisture sign, or a “you dried it wrong” sign?

Hey so um like, my hairs arre become dry and very weak like if someone pull out with a lil of force they just break out get plucked, why.

My hairs are curly and um 12 inches long? I apply shampoo and conditioner once a week, nothing else

And for hairstyle I do a pony since they are not that long yet
