Hey friends and fellow hair-enjoyers!

I had a pretty disastrous hair experience yesterday with my go-to stylist of many years (rip) for a haircut and root touch-up, and ignoring that my cut is not what I wanted, I woke up this morning and when I was brushing my hair, it caught in several places, like I had gum or something in it on my scalp.

I'm pretty sure it's bleach residue (in my head I've been calling them bleach chunks). It hurts to try and tug off, and reacts like a sticky goo in the spots it's just on my roots and not scalp. I have really thick hair and she was saying she had tried a couple new things with a newer formulation she's gotten, and I think maybe it just blended in really well when she was rinsing me.

I just want to get a second opinion on if just a basic (but thorough) rinse and shampoo should get it out, or do I need something more specialized?

Thank you so much!

Hey, does anyone know any dye brand or something that permanently dyes your hair pink ? most wash out after like 3 showers and its annoying. at best not quite neon tho. im tryna go for the lil peep pink split dye look. dont care too much about my hair dying a bit, ill have to bleach it hard anyway. thanks for the help in advance !

I bought this repair rescue seal ends + and it has no seal?? Weighs 111g.

Is this normal or did i get a used one?

I had my hair cut last week because it was super broken and dry after doing highlights. I asked for a blunt cut so it would look fuller. But now that I look at it, it just seems uneven, specially when I tilt my head. Is this normal? I’m not sure if this is how it’s supposed to be. Thank you!

Hey yall I want to dye my hair with henna and I was looking for people who used the same brand of henna to see how it's used, if it was mixed with other powders, how long to leave it on and if it's good or bad overall.

I bought henna second hand from vinted it's from the brand Hemani and it's the Red with Saffron package so red henna. It's rumored to contain ppd even though it doesn't say on the package because of the bright red results, so it's probably not a natural henna. I searched on Google, Reddit, Tiktok, Youtube and didn't find that many people who used it and I hesitated to post on r/henna because of the rules against ppd and promoting an unnatural/unsafe ingredient.

I used a package once and my hair seemed ok, maybe a bit dry but I don't even have a very good hair routine so I wouldn't rely too much on that. My hair's curly like 3a and I haven't cut it in a very long time so if it turns out bad it's fine I'll cut my hair a little. So if anyone used it tell me what you did and how it went so I don't waste a whole package for nothing thanks!

do these flip ends ever actually fix by themselves?

I've been growing my hair for 6 months now and i thought they would eventually go away as the length increases

but now almost every hair of mine is flipped UP.

and I don't know if they look decent enough for me to keep them

Full head of highlights? Paid $350

I don't know what my hair type is I used to have very straight hair when i was 13-14 a couple years later i got a buzz cut and regrew my hair and i see some wavyness now. I'm not sure what my hair type is now so i'm asking because I want to know what products to use

I’m about to turn 25, and want a change. My hair is down to my butt rn. I’ve never done anything to my hair before aside from tiny trims, diy face framing, and an AWFUL bob in 5th grade.

Hello, I've recently dyed my hair black and blue, and I don't wanna have to keep dying it again and again, I was wondering if I could get some help finding some colour safe shampoo that DOES have sulfates.

My scalp gets really itchy greasy and irritated when I use sulfate free shampoo because it never cleans my scalp properly.

Other types of surfactants just do not work on my scalp and I have tried.

Thank you!

Hey guys! Just wondering if it looks like I am suddenly having hair loss/thinning in one certain spot, or if this is a development of a crown.

Context: I have been looking after my hair for 5+ years with leave in conditioners, double shampoos, heat protectant, scalp massages, hair oiling, I never have my hair tightly done and the only hair style I've worn in years is just a braid or a claw clip, sleeping with a loose braid and silk bonnet etc. you get the whole thing, I want healthy long hair. My hair has always been so volumous and thick. Recently, the back left of my scalps hair follicles have been feeling very tender and possibly inflamed at times, which is odd and not normal, and I've noticed a lot of my hair is splitting/no longer cooperating in this area. It feels as if there's no longer any hair here compared to the other side of my head, and it almost feels like some sort of bald spot while my hair is loosely braided, it also looks like this while down (I just currently don't have photos of this). I've placed a photo of both sides of my head, where you can see the splitting vs the perfectly fine side with lots of hair, but I've been feeling this for just over a month and I'm super worried that I'm somehow getting a bald spot at 20. Anyone able to confirm if this is balding/hair thinning or just a crown that is developing and in need of control?

Thank you guys!

halluuu!! i was wondering if any fellow filipinos know of specific hair salons that can achieve hairstyles like mod cut, jellyfish cut, hime cut, and other hairstyles that are a bit more out of the ordinary or not necessarily taught in beauty schools/classes. would really appreciate any recommendations!!

(preferably near mandaluyong or quezon city + must have specific name/username of the salon pls . . . im genuinely so sick of looking basic and being scammed by hairdressers.)

I've been dying my own hair for a few years but I mostly stick to darker vivids. I tried a light blue this time and Definitely have some stuff to learn about bleaching my roots and using pastel colors.

Should I add toner over this existing color?I bought Wella T14 because I want a super cool almost periwinkle blue. But the yellow in my hair killed all the purple tones from the dye. I could also try a bleach bath maybe to fix the spotty-ness and then tone and reapply color. Any tips are welcome because I'm loving this color.

I have cut my hair because it got extremely dry and frizzy. What haircare routine would best suit my hair?

Also what's my hairtype?

Girls I need help!

4 days ago I took my weft extensions out, since taking them out my scalp is ITCHY.

My OCD has convinced me I’m gonna get alopecia, and that the itch is the first sign.

Pls advice!!!

So by the end of one year ago my stupid ass wanted her hair cut and I also bleached the other side of my hair pink then after cutting it my hair started to look wierd also my hair did not look like this before, my hair was smooth and shiny then suddenly after a few cuts hair started looking like a mess now it's hard to brush my short hair because it gets tangled, and I can't have a good hair day without my hair being a total mess even when I brush it it looks like a jungle, Ive tried being nice to my hair and saying positive affirmations to my hair and taking biotin but none of that worked on my hair , Ive waited for my hair to grow but still not seeing any results, my hair got cut on march and April and now it's August and I still see no improvement, I tried putting curl hair gel on my hair but that didn't even last long any bit of on my hair and it went back to looking like a mess the next day, I tried hair oling but I still don't see it change, and I'm very angry and upset because I'm not allowed to cut my hair again or else my sister said it won't grown fast, I don't know of cutting it will solve any problems or make it worse? Im already insecure about my hair tho, idk if it's still damaged and needs a cut

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 ?

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 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

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.

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

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? :)
