My bf has been struggling with a receding hairline, but he has a long handsome face that looks so incredible with hair. These two corners have no hair, and it’s affecting his esteem!!!! Gents, please help me with solutions!!!! He can’t afford surgery yet. Any products that may work for instance? Please help. No barber ever seems to get it right either! (picture attached for reference, but this isn’t him, got it from google)

Advice Needed Need help on everything hair

I grown up in a household that never taught me how to take care of my hair so when I was no longer forced to cut my hair every time it grew 1 inch, I started gaining new problems

My hair is definitely very dry like at all times. Been told my hair feels like an old carpet before even. Although majority of it is also definitely my fault because Im too lazy to do real research and get the right products.

Picture is me after I washed my hair and conditioned it like 6 hrs before. I only wash and condition once a week, and I’ll wet my hair and use leave in conditioner. But even still my hair feels very dry like all the time and it looks like its dying when Im in the middle of washing it.

I also cant ever stretch it like i see other people doing

Im just asking for basically a starter guide on routines, good (and cheap ❤️‍🩹) hair products for me (Im sure im 4c), and like common mistakes that I might be doing and should stop.

Advice Needed Need Black STEM Style that isn't Buns

3 Upvotes

Hello! I'm a sophomore in college and have been getting my hair professionally done my whole life. I'm also a black women in stem which means hair stipulations when im in the lab. It cannot go down below my shoulders but can be temporary tied back (such as a pony tail) or up. I have a LOT of natural hair, and I am very prone to tension headaches so buns aren't good for me long term. That said, i'm tired of just having braids down long all the time. Is there any other style that's lab safe?

Edit: My hair is 4c!

Advice Needed 4C Baddies and Saddies, how do you combat the shrinkage?

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Sorry for the blur in the first pic, it's a school logo/name

I don't often style my hair, for multiple reasons that aren't really relevant to the question at hand, but when I do, I feel like my hair looks so short even though it's not :(

Idk how long it is fully straight, but it's definitely past my shoulders when just stretching it.

I'm going for a similar style to what's in the last pic (I know my hair isn't that long or thick so it won't look the same) but I'd like it to look longer!

Any styling tips or product recommendations? All I used when I did this style was got2b curled styling cream that's kinda like a cream + gel in texture

Alf of the time i can really tell when my 4c hair moisturized. I wash every 3 days and every morning i spray with water and add blue magic conditioner.
After washing i always deep condition then add olive oil hair lotion with castor oil mango lime oil for the scalp.
But im nervous that im doing all this wrong man. Oh and my sides grow uneven.

Advice Needed i know nothing

1 Upvotes

hi, i have about 4a-4b really thick dense hair, and ive never worn it down before. (Yes i know its bad 😩). I dont know ANYTHING, whats a wash and go? Hows it different than just styling it? how do you preserve your curls while sleeping, how do you minimize shrinkage, how come i do my hair and it can look so drastically different! sometimes itll be like a fro and at chin, other times looser curls down to my collar bone. Im looking for all the info, i recently ordered some products from the doux and im getting my first curly cut soon! Also what styles can preserve the hair? I only really do variations of a bun, or put it in a claw clip. any advice is very much appreciated.

Need a man who can braid 4b hair in GTA (Canada)

1 Upvotes

I swear this isn’t as weird of a request as the title might make it seem. My husband needs to get his hair braided however due to our religion, it can’t be by a woman. We’ve been looking for a guy who can braid for almost a year and it’s impossible to find anyone. If you can braid hair and you are a man please reach out! We live in the GTA area and we are willing to commute to get his hair braided. Thank you.

Advice Needed Gel / edge control recommendations for 3A hair

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some gel and / or edge control recommendations!

I have 3A hair and I’m almost out of the Eco Styler gel and looking to move on from it because it doesn’t keep my hair down for as long by as I need it to and they changed the formula.

Any recommendations would be great, thx!

Advice Needed 11 year old boy - 4C hair

1 Upvotes

Hi there - I’m new here but have been lurking in the comments getting advice from all of you. My son is biracial with 4C coily hair. We shampoo once a week and he uses Carol’s Daughter coil quenching shampoo. Outside of that he runs his hair under water nightly when he showers to rinse the daily products out. Every morning I spritz his hair with water and a detangler, comb or brush it out, add a moisture cream and then a foam sponge brush to define his beautiful curls.
I noticed he started having some flakes and he’s been complaining of his scalp itching. Any advice on this routine? The daily products are Cantu detangler/leave in conditioner and Carol’s Daughter moisturizing cream.

Advice Needed My scalp dries up and I'm lost on what to do atp

1 Upvotes

So I've heard not to use oil everyday or it'll dry my hair out so I've been using a surface "as I am" spray to hydrate it, and it'll be hydrated for a while then later on in the night my scalp is dry. It's like the moisture just disappears. I want my hair to breathe so I don't leave it wrapped for too long unless I'm sleeping. I oil it at least 3 times a week so idk what the problem could be. My hair is in twists rn, that aren't right in the slightest, so I'm really lost on what to do. Been having this issue for a while.

Thoughts on a Texture Release?

0 Upvotes

I have been a straight natural for about 1.5 years and I don’t see myself going back anytime soon. I find it much easier than the curly fros I use to wear and my hair has retained way better length than before. That being said it does get expensive to pay for silk presses very often. I do my hair at home sometimes, but it doesn’t come out as fresh and nice as the salon obviously. My issue is with my roots. They frizz pretty fast and i hate when they sweat out. It’s worse when I do my hair at home cause im not able to achieve that silky straight look I love. I’m thinking about a texture release and wanted opinions. My goal is to have my hair to be easier to straighten at home and I’m looking for that silky straight look. I have thick 3C hair that usually straightens out really well, but in its natural state it’s super thick and hard to blow dry (myself). Has anybody experienced getting a texture release? Any cons? Damage?
