Hello all! I have had oily hair my whole life. I am a daily washer - I know, a sin! But there has never been a time when my hair hasn’t been an oily mess within 24hrs. I have tried washing every other day and using dry shampoo, but it was so gross. So, fellow oily heads, what do you use to fight the mess?

I have been sticking to Volumizing shampoo on the scalp with moisturizing conditioner for the ends. I have also done a few clarifying shampoos. I am currently using Pantene volumizing shampoo and moisturizing conditioner, but it hasn’t been cutting it. I liked it at first, but my hair has been dull and flat. I have a small natural wave in my hair that I love, but it hasn’t been there for a while.

I have tried Aussie, Gariner Fructis, L’Oreal Elvive, Herbal Essence. I have considered Dove and OGX. And maybe Sauve for a clarifying shampoo. I have also considered going back to Herbal Essence or Garnier Fructis. Nexxus might be a good conditioner, but it is pushing it on my budget.

The brands I mentioned are pretty much my budget. I also used a Dove hair mask, and that was nice since my ends tend to dry out due to daily washing.
I usually do very little with my hair. No dyeing, no heat besides a minute with the hair dryer, no styling. I am willing to add a little to my routine though. Please let me know what I should be using! Thank you!

The shampoo I usually use ended, so I just grabbed a random one a friend had and began using it and now I’m losing a lot of hair when I wash it.

I need to buy a shampoo like today but I don’t want to go back to the one I used to have as it made my hair extremely dry.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a shampoo:

• around the price of 10-20 dollars (US) that doesn’t have silicones.
• has no hair loss controversy or risk or anything like that.
• isnt “moisturizing,” because those shampoos make my VERY GREASY HAIR/SCALP get worse. (My hair gets greasy about 12 hours after I wash it.)

I was considering dove intensive repair but I heard a lot of normal people say it made their hair greasy and I already have a condition that makes my hair greasy AS IS.

Ive been also considering native and I’m 90% sure I will get it, because the ingredients are simple but I wanna know if ANYONE HERE thinks native will make my hair fall out (I heard some people say it did and I’m scared) or if native might be too greasy for me, etc. ALSO I’ve been highly considering cosmetics hut hair strengthening shampoo.

I just need some HUMAN advice not ai, some solid assistance. any help is greatly appreciate.

I have fine, 2A or 2B type hair. I've had a Dyson airwrap for a few years and I like the round brush attachment for a smooth blow dry, but I just cannot get airwrap curls to stick, no matter what I try (product, no product, damp or wet hair, or almost dry hair). The only luck I had was getting the thinnest airwrap barrel but even then, it drops super fast and is a limp mess with flicky ends within an hour or two.

I then purchased a Dreame Pocket dryer (largely because of the small size, dual voltage as I often travel, and that the Costco version came with a diffuser my spouse could also use) which has its own airwrap type barrels. Again, with this, my hair won't hold the curl.

Even with a regular curling iron, my hair doesn't hold curls well and the only way I can really get something I like that also lasts is with a flatiron. Some googling and research tells me this might be to do with lack of tension and heat on both sides of the hair strand, on anything that isn't a flat-iron.

Is it safe to say these curling styler attachments just do not work with my hair type?

I don't want to have to fight with a tool, pin and curl an entire head of hair, or use 8 different products to get a style to work and stay - so perhaps it's just not for me?

My last option was to consider the T3 Aire 360 as it's now dual voltage and the barrels on it are ceramic, but I have a suspicion I'll just have the same frustrations?

I'm wondering if I get rid of them all and just learn to do a blow out with a regular dryer and round brush, and stick to the flatiron for my curls?

I don't use heat that often, I condition every wash, and I even started using a hair mask once a week!!! It still looks kind of dry and frizzy by the end of the day.

I'm going to be a bridesmaid in a wedding in a few weeks, so I really want my hair to look healthy and shiny. Is there anything I should add to my routine or anything I might be doing wrong? I'd love any advice!

So disappointed with 1 Hair Stop India.
My mum has a thinning hairline, so I ordered clip-in extensions for her as a surprise gift for around $240.
Unfortunately, when she tried them on, we realized that the clip-ins were not suitable because she has very little hair at the front for the clips to attach to. I then contacted customer service to ask about their return policy, explaining that I would happily order a different product without clips instead.
Their response was simply: “No returns.” That was it.
I find this very disappointing, especially considering the price. I understand that some companies have strict return policies, but I expected at least some flexibility or a willingness to help a customer exchange the product for a more suitable option. Good customer service should involve trying to find a solution, particularly for such an expensive purchase.
Sadly, this experience has left me very disappointed.

Hi everyone,

I am here to seek recommendations to help out my mom’s hair. I talked to her on the phone yesterday and she sounds saddened over her unruly hair. Her birthday is coming up so I would like to get her a few hair products to help her out.

Her hair is really thick, dry and because of the Midwest humidity, gets frizzy. Give me your best products that will help her! I have been looking at Kerastase and Oribe, but they are pretty pricey. But brand doesn’t matter, I just want something that works. I was thinking along the lines of a hair mask or conditioning treatment or anything else really. What do you recommend? Thank you! ☺️

I need to know what shampoo to use. My hair doesnt get greasy, so i dont shampoo more than twice a week. But when i do shampoo it completely dries put my hair and turns it into a flat poofball. i have sort of coarse, straight slightly wavy hair. Sort of a mod cut. i also dont want a crazy expensive shampoo, but what do yall recommend?

Okay guys.. I need your honest opinion, IM SCARED. I’ve been using Schwarzkopf blonde me for almost 5 years now and I love it. I know it, I know what to expect with it. It protects the hair, its lifts fast and even. And I personally never had an issue with the swelling.. but that said… who has tried the new formulation and is it comparable. Or has anyone switched to something else. I need advice!! With lots of love ❤️💔

i have thin straight but healthy hair, and my hair is like straight as fuck . don’t think i should buy a dyson?

Hi! I gave birth 4 months ago and still, even after the pregnancy I’m extremely sensitive to any type of perfume. I stopped using perfume at all and I I use only skincare from pharmacies because it’s often unscented.

The problem that I still have is haircare…

All conditioner and masks that I used to love literally make me puke. Kerastase, Oribe, Amika…I can’t stand them anymore!

Can you recommend any good products for dry hair that used to be bleached that have no / really mild scent?

this is for all the dyson girls. what do you do to hold your styling with dyson that works always. i am a new user. any pro tip.

I think the most useful thing I’ve read about Dyson is that it’s not actually supposed to be a curling iron. It is actually a hairdryer —so if you get a blowout and your hair gets curly when they twirl it in the brush, then you should be able to do the same thing with the Dyson, but otherwise it’ll just give you some volume.
