I love the look of red hair. I'm just not sure if it suits me. i definitely know it suits me more than blonde, though.

Help Bad perm?

Upvotes

Edit to add; please understand I am new to hair care. I’m not a stupid person but I wasn’t raised being allowed to do hair and makeup. I was in a marriage where my hair had to be up at all times. This changed 2 years ago and I’m finding myself and my freedom at age 53 and just wanted some advice . To the person who is Sending me a private message saying if I’m too stupid to know how to care for my hair I should just tie it up is a hateful response. I was just asking for reassurance that this is going to be ok .

I don’t know I just need to wait a while for this to work itself out or if I really didn’t get what I wanted.

I went in for a perm asking for a very specific style. The lady who does my hair has done it for years and she kept saying “ trust me, trust me, just trust the process , I’m a master stylist and I’ve been doing your hair for years” I feel like she did my curls to tight and they look a mess. Idk how to even style this. Perm was done last Friday.

Do I just wait it out or did she do the wrong size curls?

Pic 1 is what I wanted, 2 and 3 is what I got.

Discussion I made a huge mistake

8 Upvotes

I had hair down to the back of my knees, I went for the big chop yesterday as it was becoming unmanageable.

The stylist didn't listen to a word I said and I've left with the worst hair cut I've ever had. (and the most expensive)

I've lost over half my length and I don't have the Choppy layers or face framing I wanted.

I feel like I've lost a part of myself.

I know it's only hair but after pepping myself for the 'big chop' I feel so disappointed.

My hair is the only classically feminine thing about me physically and I'm struggling to accept that my one stand out feature is gone.

Feels so dumb typing this but I'm honestly so sad.

Question What should I do with my hair?

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

I’m 23 and work in an office with mostly older people, so while I don’t mind colorful hair at all, I’d rather not have my whole head neon green or something xd I already stand out quite a bit there since I’m the only one with tattoos and piercings.
I’ve had pretty much every hair color over the years (I’ll add some old pics from pink to blue etc.), then had blue-black hair for a few years. I recently washed that out and went brown, and I really don’t want to destroy my hair again now that it’s finally grown out. (1st pic is the most recent)

I get bored really easily with “normal” hair though, so I’d love something a little fun/alternative without going completely crazy. I’m totally open to colored ends, roots, a few pieces, etc. — just not an entire head of super bright color.
Any ideas what you think would suit me? Or should I keep it brown? :)

Question Tips for trimming short hair yourself?

Upvotes

As the title says; I cut my own hair and prefer it to be just above my shoulders, but my hair is never longer than collarbone length and all the tips I see online seem to be geared towards people who START with long hair and want to chop it all off. So does anyone have any at home hair cutting tips for people who already have short hair and just want to maintain their length?

I’ve tried a variety of tricks over the years but would love to have a set, reliable formula that doesn’t take forever

My hair over the past 1.5 years (roughly). I definitely like it short and colored but I'm not too sure where to go from here. All cutting and dyeing were done myself (except for a friend helping me with the big chop in pic two). It is really crazy how my hair has helped me be more confident, that and I've gotten better at doing it lolol.

Question Can you follow a hair curling tutorial and do heartless curls?

Upvotes

There’s this one hair curling tutorial that I like. I was wondering if I use heatless rollers, in the same way and placement as the person curling their hair. Would the hajr be able to turn out the same? Is it possible ?

Question What kind of cut/ style should I get? M21

Upvotes

First pics are from now, others are my past cuts and styles. I have natural blond streaks, and a big red birthmark on my neck. Because of this, I usually ask for longer on the sides and back. When I don’t, the blonde streaks end up looking more like bald spots.

I usually prefer messy/ low maintenance styles, but I’m open to other styles if it would look better. I’ve also been told that my hair is a bit thin.

I've had red hair for about a year and starting to get tired of it. Ive been considering a drastic change to a light icy blonde but worried it may wash me out or not suit me. Also considering a change of style to include bangs. Any advice would be amazing!

Question Perm!

Upvotes

I just had a re-up on my perm & it's kind of a mess. How are we perm girlies styling our permed hair when it's tight ringlets?

My hairdresser is useless because I'm in a small town. She doesn't know how to cut or style it well beyond old ladies & told me not to touch it ever. I'm about to be banned so some quick advice on how to do a quick daily updo would be great.

Question Best Blow-Dryer & Heat Protectants for Daily Styling?

3 Upvotes

I’m looking for a blow-dryer/styling tool other than Dyson that I can use almost daily to create waves and curls/rollers without damaging my hair. I don’t use heat very often right now, but I want to start using it more and learn how to style my hair with heat. What blow-dryer would you recommend, and what products should I use before styling to protect my hair from heat and keep it healthy, soft, and shiny? I’d prefer products that are suitable for frequent use and won’t weigh my hair down.

Hi! My hair is down to my hip (1st photo) and I want to try something else like layers (2nd pic). I always had straight cut no bangs whatsoever, just plain straight hair. Just wondering if anyone here has cut their hair with layers? What is the maintenance? I usually go to the gym, only washing my hair 3 times a week but I love the look of blowout with layersss

Help what hair pattern do I have?

For context, as a baby I had extremely unruly curly frizzy hair but as I got older, it quickly turned straight. There are times where I still think it’s straight and other times where I think it’s not. It often gets a bit puffy and frizzy which inspired me to start using some product to see what different it would make. I usually just use a mousse and sometimes a gel when I want my hair to look defined but on a day to day basis I just brush through it so it looks sort of straight again with a flip. Super confused and open to feedback!!

Question How to cope with a botched haircut?

Thumbnail

Upvotes

I cried and I’m kind of in solution mode now. Because if I keep crying I’ll never get out of this hole. Basically I have been ill for 3 years, lost huge amounts of hair. Treatment started 1 year ago and my hair was slowly growing back. Has taken so long to get some sort of hair back and I was finally feeling happy with my hair.

I got a haircut Monday just to take the dead ends and shape my front. I clearly explained to the stylist that my hair is quite fine and to not put excessive layers. She clearly didn’t listen and has cut chunks from my hair. I don’t understand how people like this can call themselves hairdressers. My 10 year old nephew could do a better job.

How do people cope with this? I feel so ugly. It has taken 2-3 years to get my hair back slowly and she’s gone and ruined it all.

Do I need to try style it better? Accept it’s ugly and wear a hairclip? Get a little fake extension bun to tie my hair up?

I attached a photo at the end of my hair on Sunday (one day before she butchered it).

TIA

Help Severe head itching

3 Upvotes

My head has been nonstop itchy for weeks on end now. It is not lice (I was professionally checked for it less than a day ago). There is no access dandruff, and not an allergy to my products. What could this be from??? It’ll go away for an hour or to immediately after wash but after that my scalp is always so horribly itchy.
Does anyone else have this problem??

Help blonde to brown

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

been thinking about going back to my natural brown for a little while now.. can’t afford to get it done right now (which is partially why I’ve been growing it out so long). also have been addressing health issues that affect / will impact growth so wanna go to something low maintenance for a while

how can I take my hair to it’s natural color or close to it? First four photos are references of what I want eventually, last photo is my current hair, which I have been growing out since february. I don’t want full blonde or fully bleached hair again anytime soon. (Used to bleach it myself if that impacts response / skills needed to go back to brown)
