I have fine hair, very straight. My problem is my scalp gets very oily after 2 days and it starts to smell. I tried many normal shampoos and detox shampoos. Nothing helps me go through 2 days without washing my hair and still smelling great. Any suggestions!
I bought this duo at Walmart yesterday for around $11. The shampoo smells amazing and it doesn’t leave behind any weird coating probably because it has NO silicones, parabens, or phthalates. The conditioner softens fine hair without weighing it down. I’m very impressed with this drugstore product and had to recommend it on here.
Hello! Out of curiosity I would love to know how many of you cut your own hair after seeing so many people post salon horror stories. I’ve had my fair share so I’m considering doing it myself as well, I would love some advice or tips! Thanks :)
Sharing here because this sub has been so helpful in helping me embrace and care for my fine A1 hair. I went short bob, hated it, had extensions but felt fake and honestly they didn’t look amazing. I think I finally found the secret recipe for a good hair day.
A couple face framing highlights
Shoulder length blunt bob, no layers (growing a few out in th front)
Purple shampoo before big occasions, basic Pantene conditioner
The styling (took me a while to master, but it looks so good and lasts all day once I did):
Waves with a straightener but ALTERNATE (like one section flips out at the end, the other curls down)
A tiny bit of hairspray or holding product at the ends
I hope this helps someone else! Like I said, I’ve had hair envy most of my life but I can honestly say I’m loving my current hair.
I have always found that rotating through different kinds of shampoos works well for me eg: hydrating one night, clarifying another night and volumising a different night.
Does anyone have a recommendation of just 1 shampoo that works well all the time? I find that they always either dry my scalp out too much and get itchy, or leave my hair with build up. Thats why I've always just ended up rotating whatever I have. I feel like there is no middle ground and they are all advertised with a different purpose.
FYI I'm still ok with clarifying occasionally, but not like once a week.
Just got a ton of hair cut off yesterday (proud to donate it!) The stylist cut more than we agreed to and I’m a little upset, mostly because I have no idea how to style it now. (Not terribly upset bc it’s just hair and it’ll grow back). Most of the time I pull my hair back; work outdoors and have small kids. It’s too short for a regular ponytail now!
Please help, I’d love any low-maintenance styling tips! Fine, medium density, rarely holds a curl.
My hair dries straight, does not hold a curl (tried everything) and no volume. I’m almost thinking of cutting it shorter and seeing if my hair is just heavy so it weighs it down. It also gets greasy after a half day of washing it. Any recommendations on haircut length? It is just at my lower back. Rarely use heat and do not dye hair. (Last time color has touched my hair was in 2020 when i stupidly went platinum. Thanks to the lock down in April. Killed my hair because i was an amateur trying to be a hair dresser)
When I try to curl my hair, I have tried heatless with socks, robes and kitsch tools. I’ve tried dirty and clean hair. I’ve tried styling mousse, hair spray, oils. I have also tried with a curling rod and by the time I’m done with one side it’s already uncurled. I’ve tried it with pinning it while it’s hot and it does not stay.
Last time I made a major chop 12 years ago above shoulders and did not like my hair flipping out due to resting on my shoulders. I will trim ends every couple months if I feel like I need to.
