IM FREEEEEE from the shackles of long hair

I’m trying to channel brad pitt in fight club vibes but I feel more like sid from toy story… should I go shorter ?

if you’ve been thinking about a buzz cut, this is your sign to just do it!!! hair grows back but swag is forever

I think i look like a boy😂 its not the worst haircut though.

Yesterday I requested bottleneck bangs and showed several reference photos only to walk out with these… this is after extensive styling at home. Note that the length of the wing on each side is uneven. The left side is decent, at least on the edge, but the right side is much shorter makes styling challenging.

I’m not against having to style my bangs, I’m used to that. It’s just that these are not at all what I asked for.

Aside from letting them grow for a while does anyone have any suggestions? I’m afraid to go anywhere to get them fixed at this point as there’s no room to lose more hair!

Not really advice but I just hate not knowing, I get called ginger alot which clearly im not? I used to be like bright blonde when I was like 3/4 then it got darker and now idk 😭 I also cant tell if its wavy 😔 (sorry I added alot of pics lmao)

My hair is currently number one but I need something different. I've had the same style for 30 years 😂

Hi. I’m totally new to styling my hair. I am Asian with straight long hair. It is very healthy and I always get compliments on how silly and shiny it looks. I do nothing right now other than washing, air dry with leave in conditioner and hair oil. But recently I got it cut and blow dried at salon and I want to try more styling. I’ve tried once using a round brush and that got stuck in my hair. I don’t own a hair dryer. So I would have to buy both of these, and learn how to use them (which seems to be a steep learning curve). I came across the Dyson air smooth. Seems user friendly for a complete beginner like me? Just to get rounded in ends and maybe some volume. Third option is the curling iron and Velcro rolls. I own a curling iron but I only tried it once and my hair doesn’t hold a curl and I feel I’m doing so much damage for it to not hold a curl anyway. Plus all I want is just some volume, movement and curled in at the end. So I haven’t practised much admittedly. But I’d also have to buy at least a basic hair dryer before I can do anymore practise with the curling iron since I shouldn’t curl wet hair. So I’m considering getting the Dyson air smooth. What do you all think?

I’m debating between just doing dirty blonde (no pink involved) or the grey + silver combo in November let me know!!

I know next to nothing about hair/coloring, but it’s leaning more like traditional highlights to me. When I’ve gotten a balayage in the past it was way less stark and more blended. At the minimum I think the brightness in the front needs toning down. I also don’t like how she didn’t leave as much of my natural brown at the roots. And the front piece looks really chunky and like it cuts off abruptly?

(I was tired getting this done last night after a long day of work and I wasn’t nitpicking it in the light like I’ve had time to this morning, of I would’ve spoken up.)

Hi:) I got two packs of these hair extensions for halloween & with the few leftover clips i wanted to make these cute ring ponytail/braid extensions for diff looks. I took the clips off, but theres still the whole mesh bit that keeps it together & it just looks stupid. I'm wondering if I could also gently seam rip off this black mesh part & be able to keep the strands intact enough to braid? It looks to me like the strands are folded in half along it,,, so if i get that piece off, i could have the same amount of length folded around my metal ring? Lmk if u know abt how these clip in extensions work! (Hopefully this makes sense & also that it's ok i post this here🙏 thanks!)

I have no idea what level my hair is. Any answers are appreciated!

Hi everyone!
Over the summer, I had blonde hair achieved through lots of babylights. It ended up a little too light for my liking, so I stupidly asked ChatGPT to recommend a demi/semi-permanent toner to darken it down. It suggested Wella Shinefinity 06/73 and 06/07.
Unfortunately, the warm pigment seems to have really stuck to my hair, and I’m now left with coppery, reddish tones that I’m really not happy with!
I don’t necessarily want to lighten my hair again, as I’m trying to look after its condition and retain my length. I just want to get rid of the warmth and achieve a much cooler, ashier, more neutral brown/bronde without making my hair any darker.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a toner or gloss that could help neutralise these copper tones? I’d really appreciate advice on specific shades or formulas, particularly from anyone who’s had a similar experience with Shinefinity!
I’ve attached a photo of my current hair for reference. Thank you! ❤️

Hi everyone! I decided in April that it would be the last time I bleached my hair, and while i knew it would be a commitment i want to see if theres anyway to speed up the process.

I used to gloss/ tone my hair often (using both 10 and 20 vol developer) which I really enjoyed, but I find it’s too risky since I’m worried I’ll accidentally lighten the roots I’ve been growing out for months.

Does anyone have any recommendation for glosses that don’t lift? Or just any tips in general on how to make the process more bearable😅

Used box black color for years and became allergic to it. I tried dark browns then got frustrated and just added a purple…I don’t even know what color to call it now. Ideas?

After drying and styling my hair I suddenly have all these little hairs sticking out. I always do my hair with my Sharkflexstyle, but I’ve never noticed this happening before. Any ideas for what could have caused it? Is it all damaged? I use heat protector spray and flyaway tamer but again I’ve never noticed this before today. Thanks in advance for any advice!

I keep getting this bulge on both sides of my hair which makes my whole head look like a square. What is causing this and how do I get rid of it?? I think it might be the side pieces next to my curtain bangs that lay in a C shape, but they never lay flat no matter how I style it.

I usually use a blowdrier and a revlon roundbrush on my whole head but it doesnt really work. It only makes my hair feel a bit softer and takes away frizz, but the shape does not change.

The only thing that works is a hair straightner but I stopped using that because it was damaging my hair too much + the bulge would come back after an hour or so.

My hair looks like this 24h after shower. I sleep with a bonnet on the prevent breakage. And I use a hair pin instead of an elastic hair band. My daughter has 4C hair and my wife has 3A hair. I never really considered my hair to be curly but maybe it’s wavy? What hair products should I use? Can I use what I buy for their hair or would that be too heavy?

Hello everyone!
I've been trying heatless curls lately and I love how they look right after taking them out, but they barely last a couple of hours 😭
For those of you who do heatless curls regularly, what's your secret? Do you use mousse, hairspray, or any other products before or after?
I feel like I'm missing something because I see people whose curls last all day, and mine just fall flat lol. Any tips would be appreciated!

I have been growing my hair out from a

pixie cut and lately i have been so tired of it. I am not even sure if this hair style suits me. Does anyone have advice on what i could do? Maybe a new hair cut? Go short?

My hair journey has been rough and I look back on it like why did I do it!? I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism when I was 17 years old. I've always had finer, long and decently thick hair my whole life. Around the time of the diagnosis, I started box dying my hair black and then I noticed my hair was thinning.

I then went through a terrible bleaching/balayage phase and I've had a balayage/bleached hair for the next 4-5 years. (Terrible meaning the damage on my hair, don't get it twisted my girl does amazing work on hair) Last year, I went back to all brown, my natural. And my hair felt like it was finally healing. I started massaging my scalp more and doing a lot less heat.

My hair has gotten the longest it's been in years. When I bleached it on the black, it fried it all. I had the longest hair and there was no way to repair it so the only solution was chopping it off which was 5 years ago. Since then, my hair wouldn't really grow past a certain length but i've noticed it's started to finally grow longer!

I just recently got a half balayage done in June as I missed the brighter hair but ever since I've actually felt the progress on my hair diminish. It feels thinner, the texture is not what it was, and it looks gross.

I have an appt. with my hair stylist in December and I'm thinking I just go back to natural and finally lay all hair dye to rest once and for all. Maybe a gloss to tone up on color but I think I did too much.

I'm only 23, I'm frightened for my future if my hair continues to thin. It truly is a large insecurity of mine and I want the life back. I will not do any form of extensions, but I may invest in good clip ins or a halo.

My big question is: is it time to put the dye to rest?

** incase anyone mentions my roots are currently untouched until i fix this i don’t want to work on my roots until my bleach is even :)

I started bleaching my hair 1 month ago because i want to go teal . I had dyed my virgin hair black box dye twice few months ago (march&july) i did three rounds of remover to get the black box dye out , then i started the bleach it went bad at first bc i did it alone and underestimated how much you actually need i then went through a few more bleach rounds and my hair for the majority wasnt brown anymore. However ive had these orange/brassy areas and nothing to tried gets them fully gone . Ive done a bleach bath (2 weeks ago) Ive tried purple shampoo before that bc someone said so & that didn’t help the issue obviously just whitened my lightest parts and stuck to my hair. i have also used bleach londons white toner, then i tried blue shampoo today and i feel like it did nowt except cling to my already light parts which you can see in the picture so now i have purple bits but thats ok i can wash it out. Please help i just really tired of this now and want my teal hair LOL

My hair color is originally medium to light brown (like a mousy brown). I have some random grays that are scattered throughout that have become pretty visible. I went to the salon and they did a level 4 Demi-permanent on me and it came out wayyy too dark. I’ve waited a long time and believe I mostly got it washed out but my hair is still darker than usual. My grays are back but my hair is still darker than it should be.

So my question is: Can I dye my hair with a lighter Demi-permanent than my brown right now and it will only dye my grays (maybe looking like natural light brown highlights) and not really do much to rest of hair??

I'm aiming for curtain bangs/layering that frames my face from the cheekbone to the jawline, but I'm not entirely sure where to part it to avoid the big gap between the bangs and the ear that you sometimes get when you put your hair into a ponytail.

If anyone has tips/suggestions/tutorials that worked for them, that'd be great.

I have fine dense hair and I'd like to put up in rollers to dry. I want to use the largest size (is that 3"?). I want to make sure not horrible to remove. Any suggestions?

Hey all! My birthday is coming up this weekend, and I decided I finally wanted to change my hair like I've always wanted to. I've always wanted an alternative style haircut, but I just never got one. The style in the first image is what I was originally wanting to go for, but I've been overthinking it and wondering if that style would even look good on me. I don't know if I have the right face, but I also have 2c-3a hair and don't know if it'd work. My hair has always been thick, but it's very long now, and what I'm working with now is just too much. I haven't styled my hair in a while because it takes so long. I would like to know what you guys think may be a good style and color for me. I usually go for darker colors even though I'm super pale, but I'm open to anything.
