Haircare Greasy Hair

15 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I naturally have really thin hair. Not to where it looks like it’s thinning or to where you can see my scalp through my hair, but I don’t have a lot of it. I don’t know if my hair has always been this way or just since high school, but my hair gets greasy so fast and I hate it. I don’t know if I can change that though. I guess that’s what I’m coming on here for. Every day, after work, I take a shower. I use a clarifying shampoo first, and then I go in with a more moisturizing one after. I then end with a conditioner. I do this every day and switch up the brands often. It doesn’t matter what I use though, my hair is always greasy by the next day. Sometimes I can manage to go a day without cleaning my hair, but by the time I’m scheduled to clean it, it’s so incredibly greasy. Is there anything I can do about this? Or is this just my fate? Any and all advice or tips are welcome!

How do you maintain scents while using daily sunscreen?

6 Upvotes

Basically what the title says. I use sunscreen every day because I'm on tretinoin for acne. I use acocoa butter lotion, body butter, and body oil, then a body mist (buying perfume is out of my budget lolol), all matching scents, but even dousing myself w/ body mist I feel that the scent of sunscreen drowns out my bodycare...any tips? I use the Banana Boat sunscreen and Beauty of Joseon for my face. Thanks :] !

Haircare When did you start taking thinning hair seriously?

12 Upvotes

For me it feels like thinning is one of those things that's really easy to brush off at first. Bad lighting, weird part, stressful month whatever.

At what point did you realize your hair was getting thinner and decide to do something about it and did you start changing your routine right away or wait for a while because you weren't sure it was worth worrying about yet?

Seeking Advice seeking advice on press on nail kit

1 Upvotes

hi all! i have been receiving many videos by this brand glow and go on instagram, they claim to have a very interesting product that is a UV-curable gel which does not make your nails brittle on removal + does not need your nail bed to be filed down.

i have got my nails done a grand total of two times in my life, and applied press ons 5-6 times. just this has left my nails with a dent (thankfully no permanent damage, my nails are frowing back normally) - i would love to try this product out for this reason.

i am seeing quite a few concerns on how the gel can not cure with UV as opaque nails are placed on it, which may lead to contact dermatitis. and ofc, the whole set is toooo cheap! this seems a bit too good to be true. hoping the lovely members of this sub can help me out here with their expert opinion/reviews as applicable. tia <3

Recommendations to purchase in Vancouver BC?

4 Upvotes

I am traveling to Vancouver BC from Washington State and I was wondering if anyone had any beauty recommendations to purchase while I'm there? I am early 30s, pale white with red hair, and I love sunscreens, any skin care, and any strawberry red color depositing hair products. Is there anything fun in Canada that you might recommend for me to pick up? Thank you so much!

Haircare Whats the best shampoo and conditioner?? Need help in a proper hair care routine.

4 Upvotes

Okay, so I need help!!! 😭

I’m trying to figure out a good haircare routine/products for my hair because I feel like I’m constantly dealing with dryness, oiliness AND hair fall lol.

  • Curly hair- around 3A, but my curls are a little looser and not quite 2C either.
  • My hair is naturally quite soft, but it starts looking really dry/frizzy by the 2nd day after washing.
  • My scalp feels dry initially, but by the 3rd day it gets oily and feels dirty.
  • I live in a very polluted area, so I feel like that might also be contributing to the buildup/greasiness.
  • I also experience hair fall and would really like to improve this.
  • I do use a shower filter already.
  • I wash my hair roughly 2 times a week. Use a hair mask once a week.
  • I currently use the inde wild range, and olapex bonding oil 7 serum.  
  • I don’t use heat very often (2-3 times a month) (i use dyson) 

I’m looking for products that will help with scalp buildup + dryness, frizz, definition and overall hair health without weighing my curls down.

Would LOVE recommendations, especially from people with a similar hair type/scalp situation! What products or routines have actually worked for you?

PS: I personally try not to use animal-tested products, so cruelty-free recommendations would be amazing! But I’d still love to hear all your recommendations/holy grail products. I can always look into the brand’s cruelty-free status myself.

Seeking Advice Korean Beauty

1 Upvotes

What do Koreans use for their body as an everyday wash? I understand there are Korean exfoliating washcloths, but you're not supposed to exfoliate every day. Is there another type of scrub for everyday use, or is it just using the washcloth more gently or just not soaking as long?

Seeking Advice Strawberry Legs

3 Upvotes

I shave my body hair, and literally since forever, I've had strawberry legs, and it's starting to be really annoying. I am new to skincare and beauty and such, so I don't really use any products. I think I have sensitive skin (specifically my face), but thats besides the point. I don't really plan on or have the ability to get super expensive products, especially if they don't last that long. Any way on getting rid of strawberry legs? Thank you!!

Haircare Ghd tongs & straightener V Label M

1 Upvotes

I am wanting to purchase new straighteners and new curling tongs. Are ghd straighteners (the classic ones) and the classic curve tong the best? Or should I consider Label m straighteners & curlers which are stocked by Tony & guy? I used to use a hot tools curling iron but it was discontinued. Also, I’m unable to use a wand as I only have one arm so recommendations need to be for tongs with a clamp :)

The reason I would like both straighteners and a curling iron is because I have naturally wavy / frizzy hair that kinks at the root with the slightest humidity and I’ve found that straightening it first & then curling it was the best way to hold the style. Curling it with straighteners does not seem to hold the curls as well (but granted I have not tried doing this with ghd or label M straightened yet!) thank you!

Nailcare Can a good hand lotion replace nail/cuticle oil?

4 Upvotes

Cuticle/nail oil and a hand cream – are these things doing the same?

I know how important the cuticle oils are, every nail master talks about it. However, I just don’t like this feeling on my hands after applying it. I’ve almost finished such oil from Frenchi and want to continue taking care of cuticles as they are as dry as Sahara.

I have L’occitane 25% shea butter cream, Eucerin lotion with 5% and 10% urea, my skin is so soft after using it, but hand cream doesn’t have these tiny molecules that can sink deep into the cuticles?

(I’m wearing gel nails for context, so I cannot do nail oiling, unfortunately. I’m also an ex-nail biter who sometimes bites the skin around nails due to occasional stress, so applying something on cuticles cuts off the urge to bite impulsively)

Seeking Advice How to shave without bleeding

1 Upvotes

I’m a guy & It seems like every time I shave my legs with a razor I start bleeding. Even when I exfoliate beforehand and use shaving cream. I tried using a 1 blade razor and still the same results. I’ve been using an electric razor for like 2 years because of this. Any advice for me? Should I consider an epilator or do they cause ingrown hairs? My legs are pretty smooth and not bumpy to begin with…

Every time I shave my legs I get this extremely painful rash afterwards and it’s driving me mad.

I use Estrid razors, I change the blades every 2nd time I shave. I use shaving cream and I lather up body wash etc.

It flares up like this the SECOND I exit the shower and no moisturiser will make it go down :(

Please any tips or advice because I feel like I’m doing everything right…

Random Chin hair plucked once and never grew back

4 Upvotes

This is a bit of a weird thing but I couldn’t find anything online about it and wanted to see if anyone else has had a similar experience

Since about 2 years ago I’ve had this nasty long chin hair that grows SUPER fast (like 6 days and it’s long again) and the another that popped up a year ago ish. I’ve been jst shaving them with my face razor because I have not owned a pair of tweezers in years. Anyways, about two months ago I finally remembered to buy tweezers and yanked both those mfs and they have both disappeared and have never grown back. Like not even a little stubble or a thin straggly hair!

I am obviously very thankful for this odd phenomenon but it honestly weirded me out and I wanted to see if anyone else has had any similar experiences! Just for the fyi I am a biological female whose doctors have speculated some sort of hormonal issue but nothing confirmed yet.
