Hi!

I’ve always had wavy fine thin and frizzy hair, due to severe anemia i lost most of my hair and ‘ve been regrowing it using minoxidil and other things, I’ve noticed that if i air dry my hair it forms these curls in tops but remain frizzy and so thin at the ends, can hair texture change? Are these curls that i can work and have curly hair? I only use clarifying and regrowth shampoos and not oil of leave on as my hair is oily and thin and gets weighted down quickly, thank you!!

hi!!! i am worried my hair has been fried after everything i’ve put it through in the last year.. first photo is today next is couple months ago and the last 2 are before i was really bleaching& dying my hair(with a few strands of exception). i used to get these really beautiful ringlets &if i remember correctly they were often, but notttt alwaysssss a result of finger coiling. i’ve never been the best with taking care of my hair & its always been quite naturally frizzy as well as being less curly towards the top, even with layers. however i did used to put a little more effort into styling my curls and i also haven’t had a haircut in a long time, is it more likely that my hair is, in fact, fried or that i just am not spending enough time styling my curls? i usually use a leave in conditioner and re moisturize each day until next wash bc my hair gets real thirsty, also sometimes use a gel &sometimes a mousse and always air dry(idont have a diffuser). pls be honest anything is appreciated !!! if yk me and u see this no u dont🤞

First pic is literally right after washing and adding gel 4th pic and later is not even 24 hours later wtf is going on. Please if someone can help me my hair is dry and pretty brittle feeling I haven’t gotten a professional hair cut in years and usually trim myself yes 1) my hair is always frizzy after crema gel or moose 2) my hair has been the same length for the last 3-4 years 😭😭 I feel like it makes me look like a boy I only feel cute in a FRESH wash or straight 😭😭 please any anysight on what tf is happening here? I’ve used a bonnet no difference, all the curl cream and gel and still no difference im gonna just cut it atp and I fear it’s so damn loose I cant even get a rounded hair cut FML😭😭😭 I’m literally crying over my hair bc I don’t feel cute in it !
Routine currently:
- Sauve hair shampoo and conditioner
-Not ur mothers curl cream and mousse
- Shea butter gel and Aussie flash freeze gel
-Sometimes olive miracle leave in but it’s not great mixed with others…
Washing
1 a week with shampoo and rinsing every other day bc it becomes a fizzy nest by day 2 so I get it drenched and reapply product :(

Hi everyone i’m living in OH, US. Very humid climate and it’s hard to keep up with straightened perm because hair dressers are so expensive in United States. I want to try to embrace my natural waves but I’m not sure because it looks too thick and I’m not even sure it will be pretty enough to have regular pattern of waves? It looks like it has no definition just random waves throughout the scalp and I want to hear everyone’s journey who’s been straighten perming their hair entire life and decided to go have wavy hair! (And also if I need to cut my straightened permed hair because there’s no coming back?)

hii! this is my first ever reddit post im still testing the waters, but i wanted to start by asking about my hair type and moisture/protein balance. thanks for reading

ive only started taking proper care of my hair for about a year snd stoped straightening it since the past couple months. i use nym leave in, marc anthony curl lotion, snd nym gel to style. my hair used to be 2b a few years ago and im not quite sure where im at. is my hair 2c or 3a? i cant really tell because honestly the curls are pretty tight fresh after stying for two days snd the fall out to a looser pattern. my hair fallout has increased so its probably played a role in the curls tightening.

im also not sure how to do my hair every week. i wash my hair twice a week, but im not sure if i should use conditioner every time or a mask once a week because sometimes i use protein based products and sometimes i use moisture based products and every time the result varies

ive done the wet and dry strand test. when its wet, the elasticity is pretty good and bounces back to normal for the most part, and when its dry it stretches a bit then snaps. so what should i do 💔

There are all my hairs
