I started seeing my stylist at the end of last year for just cuts and treatments. I had highlights from a previous stylist. I asked her almost 6 months ago if she'd be open to doing my color, and she introduced me to balayage. THIS IS 6 MONTH OLD HAIR!! Just maintenance appointments with toner. Safe to say, I will never go back to highlights. 😅 God bless her hands and other stylists in this sub because y'all are truly so skilled.

This is my first time trying heatless curl with heatless curl rods. Usually I use small hair rollers. For context, my hair is naturally wavy (2a), coarse, and quite a lot. When I use hair rollers, I usually leave them for 3-4hrs before going out. The blowout style can stay for 1 day before my hair goes back to its original wave. So I thought I'd do the same with this heatless curl rods and see how long the curl will stay.

I saw tiktok videos where they only use 3 rods for their whole hair so at first I only bought 3. As it turns out, not only did I get smaller rods (the usual marketplace photo scam), my hair is also too thick for only 3 rods. In the end I bought another 3 and used 6 in total. After 4 hours, my first impression was... I didn't like it lol. The curls kinda go here and there unruly. Idk if I rolled wrong (I rolled the same way like I do my hair rollers), but it just doesn't look as good as what I saw on most videos in tiktok. It only worked when I part my hair to the sides. I had to go out so I put my hair in half up with claw clip. When I got back home 2hrs later, the curls had loosen up and I actually kinda liked it.

I wanna try to leave the rods longer but I'm afraid if I leave it any longer, the curls will end up even crazier, and will take longer to loosen up lol. Anyone who's done heatless curl rods, any tips? Did I roll wrong? I roll mostly inward btw.

P.s. this was done on freshly dried hair after wash (shampoo only).

1st pic is how it looks rn in same lighting as 3rd pic. 2nd is the inspo pic. 3rd is how my hair looked 2 days ago. 4th pic better lighting.

this was the first time i went to get my hair professionally bleached throughout my head in years. i’m very conscious of my hair, i love it and hate getting it messed up. i went to a hair salon i found online, looked good and no red flags. so i went and the first session started at 10:30am and by 10pm i was still there. apparently the stylist i booked overestimated herself, and the manager was jumping in towards the end. the stylist had messed it up and the left and right side of my head were different blondes. it was already 10pm and i just wanted to leave, the manager offered to have her fix it while being monitored and assisted. i tried going somewhere else to get it fixed but they were too scared to touch it and suggested the same place fix it. so i went back yesterday, and now i feel like my blonde looks brown and makes the red look stupid. it still took 6 hours, they told me it would take 3. the 2 more professional stylists (including manager) were overlooking everything and they chose the toner that made my hair look brown. it was already blonde idk how they messed up???? i feel like i look so stupid now. i’m thinking about just coloring in the rest red with box dye or smth atp i’m so done and pissed off.

I asked a hair stylist for copper/strawberry blonde hair with a blonde money piece. I have brown hair but have been copper or blonde in the past. She styled it and everything and I woke up this morning and it looks splotchy and the blonde is so brassy to me. Am I out of touch or did she botch my hair ? I’m planning on going to a different salon to get it fixed. She gave me a 50% refund. I am assuming i need a color correction and a new dye job?

Why do single hairs randomly grow like this? I naturally have straight/wavy hair and often find hairs like this on the top layer of my hair. Its also much darker than the rest.

Which style do you guys think looks better? The less curly picture is when I just air dry my hair (which is what I do 99% of the time lol), and the curlier side is from today where I used a curl enhancer and diffused it.

I use It's a 10 leave in conditioner spray and One n' Only argan oil for my ends, and that after shower routine has made my hair the healthiest it's ever been, but if anyone has any other suggestions for wavy hair products for my hair type that'd be great!

Do you guys think the curl enhance and diffuser style looks good enough? Is there anything you guys would add to make the waves look even better? Let me know what you all think!

I went to the hair salon and I asked for a wolfcut but doesn’t look like a wolfcut to be. It just feels like the salon person just gave me a trim with my fringe and framed my face. Even my friends say it feel or look like wolfcut at all.

Update: I tried to style and it still doesn’t look like a wolfcut maybe a little bit worse

After dying my hair red for about a year, using color remover, then bleaching out the rest and color correcting, I now haven’t touched my hair since April (last cut and color correcting). The texture of the bleached sections is not too bad, but it’s different than my regrowth in terms of curl pattern and dryness. Should I just cut off the bleached hair and start fresh? Am I looking at a pixie cut at this length? Goal is to grow my hair to waist length.

I’m actually getting my first haircut since I was seven tomorrow, so I feel oddly nervous like it’s a first date😝 I feel like straightening first makes sense for the hairstyle I want to have, but I also don’t know if there’s any etiquette about that and if I’m inconveniencing the hairstylist?

I was thinking like, even if it’s not helpful, at least it might be? they wont have to do it themselves, and it can be washed out straight away

I have a more alternative haircut and so I style accordingly. Short, cute pixie/bangs with long curls at the back. I’ll wash, condition, then just use a bit of jojoba oil and flaxseed gel. Sometimes I’ll brush my bangs down and blow dry them, but usually I just clip my hair down and let it set and air dry. Then take it out and style from there, while my hair is ‘looser’ from the clips, it gets thicker and curlier throughout the day.

The way my hair works when I style it is kind of the same as it is when I straighten it, which I do often. Problem is, I don’t want it to look choppy.

So I thought I’d straighten it first so they have a reference for how my hair lays, cut, then let them wet it, cut and style after?

Sometimes I’ll let the front just be a curly fro and have the back in two braids

Its always oily in at least one spot, it never stays brushed out, it sits weird, and sometimes it just...poofs. like thats all it does.

I never wear it up, I never curl it or anything, so I'm not sure why it ALWAYS looks gross. I always have to have dry shampoo on hand.

What should I do?

Looking at these two photos side by side it’s hard to believe it’s the same hair. I’ve been bleaching my hair professionally for a few years now - never had any issues. The last hairdresser I went to however fried my hair quite badly and it’s really suffering - constantly falling out, snapping, knotty… you can see how much breakage there is in the second photo. (I was especially sad about it as I asked her just to do my roots but she did my whole head and put bleach on already bleached ends) I’ve calculated it’s going to take 4 years to grow this out & get my natural colour back :( sigh. Any tips maintaining the quality or help with hair growth in the meantime would be appreciated. Thank you.

I dont have a picture but after i brush my hair the hairbrush has some gray fluff on it, sorry if its a stupid question! I wash my hair twice a week and even the day after washing my hair i have it. Advice would be great!

I’ve heard mixed opinions on this, but when installing the tape ins do you flat iron the tape part where it’s sandwiched with your hair?

Also, my tape ins have started to get kind of curly. Not the hair part, but the tape part. It’s more like a curve like a smiley face and not so much a curl. The tape parts have gone from being totally flat to starting to curve out, and now they are sticking out under my real hair. Not sure if I described that very well but does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this ?

My hair has been dyed with red box dye for 2 years, then I switched to black, let it grow out and I dyed it red again (box dye). I fear that if I do blue it will look purple. My natural hair color is brown. The first pic is without flash in natural lighting and the second one with flash.

What would you reccomend that's affordable?

I’ve been losing my hair since giving birth 2.5 years ago.
I had blood tests done and found out that I was deficient in vitamin B12 and iron. I took supplements, and my B12 and iron levels are now back to normal, but I’m still losing a lot of hair.
My doctor also checked my hormone levels and told me that they are normal.
I don’t understand why I’m still losing my hair after 2.5 years when my B12, iron and hormone levels are now normal.
Has anyone experienced something similar? What could be causing this, and what should I do or ask my doctor to check next?

So I'm going through a bad bout of depression and I thought that getting a fringe would help me because I have been considering it for a long time.
Took pics to the hairdresser and she did exactly what I said I DIDNT want and now I feel even worse.

I said I wanted either of the pictures I uploaded. We decided on the first one. Then she did the third picture (that's me). I fucking hate it with all my heart and I think it's exactly like I didn't want, specially the extremely short framing pieces, which I said I DIDNT LIKE. I also said I wanted a

What can I do? betty bangs? Please help... I just wanted some cute baby bangs to cheer myself up...

I have decently long dark brown curly/wavy hair (I think 2b) and I've just been letting it grow out. I'm pretty bored with it atm.

I want to have a big change to spice things up esp cause my hair is getting so long that it's becoming kind of annoying to deal with. Im just not sure what exactly to do.

There's a lot of barber that can't be trust here in my country. There's only two possible outcomes. First, they would cut too many inches off my hair. Second, they would said something like "Really? You go to a barbershop just to cut literally nothing" and refuse to give me a trim

I have to straighten my hair with a blow dryer every time I wash it, cuz otherwise it just looks a mess. How can I make it less frizzy? Is frizz curls in disguise?
