Honest Hair advice

I recently had my bangs cut, and I’m not sure how I feel about them. I haven’t gotten any “ WOW that suits you” but more of like” yeah.. it looks good”

I need honest advice on if this is a hit or miss for me. My hair is naturally curly and these suckers curl up like a poodle that was tossed in a toaster bath.

If you have recommendations on what hair cut would suit my face? I have struggled finding a good one because everything is either too bold or too bland for the prominent facial features I have.

Thank you!!

FYI the pics are all from TODAY.

All feedback welcomed!

should I get micro bangs again?

regular bangs suit me well with a no-makeup makeup look and a subtle puppy-eye liner, but I feel like micro-bangs and thinner brows go better with a bolder or more alternative look, which is what I'm most comfortable wearing. comfort aside, what do you all think?

P.S. don't mind my makeup in the second photo (the most recent one), I was just testing something out lmao

Hair looks like this after blowdrying

I don’t know what the deal is, but my hair never looks good blow dried. It’s always a frizzy and poofy mess, and not that clean sleek look everyone has. I didn’t use any products except heat protectant, i am trying to get it to look good without going to the hair salon, because it takes forever and it’s too expensive nowadays. I am new to all this hair care business, and yes, my hair is textured but winter is coming and i am not doing this wet styling stuff, and i don’t use heat often. If anyone knows anything lmk.

Any irl examples?

I cannot find any examples of the first hair style anywhere, anyone got some examples?

Im hoping to get my hair done in a similar way to the first one if I can find some irl examples to base off of. I figure I can get halfway there since my hair is wavy but I know getting a haircut off of a drawn picture isnt the best

Stylist has cut me off from more highlights

I’m not mad at her, she’s trying to actually protect the health of my hair. But I can’t deny how unhappy I am with this in between color, it just looks weird and I can’t keep up with toning all the time as it gets brassy so fast, even with blue toning conditioner.

For context my stylist knows my hair very well over a decade. We started this back 2 blonde journey about 6 months ago and it’s just not what I imagined.. She says I’m only one level below the highest one (I can’t remember which) because of how dark we came from. I had been dyeing it dark brown for over a decade and I am naturally dishwater blonde. I don’t know if I want to wait for my hair to grow out so I can get the lightening I actually want. What are my options? Dye it a very light brown? I think that would at least look better than this.

Pics are my hair now with outside and indoor lighting, and the depth of brunette that I came from.

I hate my hair, what can I do?

My bangs are awkwardly in my eyes, should I trim them or let them grow? Or should I go for a new style altogether? My hair is fine and not that thick, and I don't wanna lose too much length, if at all. Thanks for any help!

What should I doo?

Hello! So I’ve got fairly straight, blonde hair that goes past my but— and tomorrow I’ve finally got a hair appointment.

At much as the hairs pretty It’s also just too much to handle and I look the same everyday because I’m unable to style it.

Only problem is; I’ve looked the same for all my 18 years of living. Never had a real haircut before, so I don’t really know what i want or what could work on my features, only that I’d want something more in the modern/slightly alternative side.

So, what do y’all think?

How would you save this botched DIY cut?

Decided to give myself a cut since hair on my back makes me move out of my skin

I tried doing a wolf cut and the bangs ended up not happening and none of the layers were ever properly done, so now i have helmet hair

Im going to book a stylist for the first time ever and i have zero clue how to save this cut

Help i ruined my hair

I usually trim my own hair and decided to do face framing pieces yesterday. They looked pretty good but for whatever reason i felt i needed to fix my left side.

Is there anything i can do/hairstyle i could get at a salon or should i just grow it out?

Seriously considering getting a pixie again

I go back every few years to cutting my hair short, then grow it again. The urge is back. 😂 I have a lot of hair, a lot of volume, and my hair really has it's own life. When short, it also makes these flips, or kinks.

I'm up for using a little pomade, but not much more.

I was thinking a little longer on top this time, but not sure. Maybe a more feminine cut. Maybe a little alt.

Any ideas what would go well with my hair and face? 😊

Helllppp wavy hair problems

Ever since pregnancy, my hair has dried with some kink, some wave, some funk. It straightens beautifully, I can curl it easily, but leaving it el natural results in this frizzy, poofy, kind of wavy mess.

Should I be leaning into the wave? The curl? I don’t know. It’s so different than anything I’ve had before!

Advice, products, commiseration is welcome.

Should I chop it?

My hair is currently the longest it’s been in 5+ years. It’s curly and almost boob length (pic 1) and I loooove the look of it when it’s down but it’s driving me crazy and I end up wearing it up most of the time. Last time I cut it short (chin length) was 2 years ago and I’ve been growing it out since then but I’m at the point where I’m thinking of making the chop to a short bob or bixie again (pic 2).

The main thing holding me back is that I just moved countries and I don’t have a lot of friends here so I might need my pretty privilege to help me there and idk if short hair would affect that?

I know this is a relatively inconsequential choice, however I need input because I can’t make a decision to save my life.

What hairstyle would work best with my features?

First three pics are me. I have a butterfly haircut with long curtain bangs, but I’ve always thought my bangs were just a bit too long.
I was thinking about doing shorter curtain bangs like from pic 4 or 5. But I can’t decide between that and the super voluminous 70s blowout hairstyle in pics 6 and 7.

I have softer features and a broader face from some angles- any hairstyle advice is appreciated!

Should i go shorter?

How do you think i would look with shorter hair? Recently got a haircut (as shown in the picture) i want to go shorter. Maybe shoulder length or on the shoulders. How would it look on me? Will i be able to pull it off? Hair type is curly- 3a-3b. This right here in the photos is my curls brushed out.
