Question should I go ginger (visualization)

My natural colour is dark blonde/ash brown, as you can see. I'm a bit worried that ginger would look too intense (I don't have much contrast on my face lol) or that it would look bad with my red acne scars ✨

Question Any advices on how to make my hair look better and healthier?

Thumbnail

52 Upvotes

I have had long hair for at least a decade now and I never dyed it chemically except when I was teenager , I got myself a few red highlights.

I dyed it with henna tho from 2020 to 2022. I still have some leftover henna on my hair probably from my waist down to the ends. I had to stop using henna even if I liked the color because it sadly fried my hair and caused me a lot of hair loss. Same with the highlights I got as a teen. They all were in a horrible state and it was a pain to grow them out.

So I am not open to "aggressively" dying my hair but I am ready to consider any other advices.

For information: my scalp gets oily quite fast that's why it always looks dull which bothers me (I have to wash my hair every 3 days) and my hair is naturally straight and not voluminous so I use sleep with damp hair while wearing braids to create the waves.

Help Opinions for upcoming haircut?

Thumbnail

Photos go: 1. Current hair usually about 4 months after baby #2 2. Current hair if I use a little product 3. My hair fully grown out 4. After my first haircut after I had my son 5. Big mom haircut 4 months postpartum lol 6. Decided I needed bangs if I was gonna grow it out 7. (Oops out of order) Cutting it shorter myself 8. Reference for short cut with blending my current silly little bangs in 9. Slightly more realistic reference I think? 10. If short hair wasn't the vibe I'd just do a ton of short layers maybe?? 11. If I saved up a little money.... Some strawberry blonde balayage next time??

Do I go short again? I know some people say it's more difficult to have short hair with young children but that wasn't my experience and I hate my hair being constantly in a bun. I really like the short but does it suit me well and would it be okay if I went a tiny bit shorter than last time? Or do I keepy current length and just add some layers. Also should I save up for some strawberry blonde highlights/balayage? My current hair is my natural color. I haven't dyed it in like 15 years so I'd be nervous but I really do want a change. It would have to be extremely low maintenance bc I likely just will never do it again haha. Open to any and all opinions!!

Help Help: I hate those short hairs behind the ears that never grow

Thumbnail

As you can see in the picture, those short hairs by the ear have never grown past that lenght, they itch my face so badly that I think sometimes I get a zit or two on that area. My hair is obviously thick so using a straightener every day makes it worse and doesn't even last straight. I consider waxing them but I feel like the chunk is just so much that idk how that area is going to look. Suggestions?

Question Wedding hair! Up or down?

My hair wouldn’t look exactly like either one of these. If I wore it down, it’d be in an “old hollywood” (waves) look. If I wore it down, it’d be a sleek chignon. Thoughts? Wedding dress posted for reference.

Question Is dark blonde —> white a good idea?

Post image
9 Upvotes

Hi guys! I wanna start with info that I’ve never dyed my hair (dark blonde) and since I was like 12 (huge witcher impact) I wanted to have white hair. But since I’m inexperienced with any of that stuff I wanted to ask you is (since my hair are darker) it going to severely destroy my hair?? I know it’s kinda a deep-dive since my hair have been natural my whole life, but it’s a dream I never got to grant.

Also, if I actually do it, how should I take care of them? I really don’t want my hair to fall out or something… (Girl in the photo for reference of what effect I would like)

Question Can I pull off bangs?

Thumbnail

I’ve tried many times over the years to cut my hair into bangs. I’ve only had them done by a stylist once and it was not a great salon they messed up a lot more than my bangs lol. They always end out on the sides of my face or just not looking right. I’m wondering if I went somewhere better and had them cut correctly instead of doing it myself, could they look like this example picture? Or good in any way?

I am naturally blonde but I’ve always felt that darker makes me look older/reflect my skin tone more. I’m at the point where I miss my blonde but I’m an impulsive hair changer 🥲 my hair is naturally pin straight with one wavy front piece & super thin.

Before and After Blonde journey and butterfly cut

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

My 2 week journey (with lots of help from my husband):

  1. Box dye that didn’t lighten my hair much

  2. Wella color charm lightener and t19- brightened up my hair a lot. Used a bond treatment in the bleach

  3. Second round of bleach and toner to brighten it, with bond treatment

  4. Added 7N lowlights and hand painted them (mistake which left stripes and spots on my hair because I didn’t know wtf I was doing)

  5. Recruited husband to help fix the spots with good success for the majority and I did a butterfly cut, spur of the moment decision but I LOVE IT

We are not professional hairstylists but I’m really proud of how it turned out!

Been super obsessed with Donna Hayward’s hair, but I don’t really have much experience styling my own hair because it’s curly/wavy and I usually just let it do its thing. I’ve cut my own hair before but just simple trims and bangs. I can’t tell if she has any layers and such which is the only thing I’m nervous about. If someone could give me a few pointers on how to achieve this look I’d be very grateful!

I've been growing out my hair for a while (first pic is current), but I'm not sure how I feel about it. My hair is quite thick and wavy, and I struggle to maintain it when it's long. Considering chopping it off, but it's taken a while to get to this point so I don't want to make a rash decision. What do you think? Should I keep the longer hair, or go back to something shorter?

Question Any good Shampoo, conditioner, products for oily scalp low porosity flat fine hair

2 Upvotes

I’m want to try better products suited for my hair as i want to grow out my hair and keep it healthy to the best of my ability. Currently I wash my hair every other day to prevent it from drying out (used to wash it everyday) and now it would still get oily by the second night but ig I jus accepted that bc I do have fine asian hair. In the meantime I’m using the ogx coconut milk shampoo& conditioner bc I realized the &honey sakura line was too heavy and wasn’t suitable for my hair type. also using nature lab tokyo perfect clean scalp scrub (1x week) but I’m dealing with breakage from using the fino hair mask (didn’t know it was for high poro) so switch over to tsubakI mask (1x week). my middle part also looks extremely thin 😭 pls anyone that has the same hair type as me share product recs or any hacks yall dooo

Question First perm idk what to expect

This is my first perm. I got it professionally done, and I like it but it's not quite what I wanted (more like pic two but I know it's mostly styling) It's the first day so I know it's setting, and I know I'll probably have to minorly style to get the style down (we are cutting next week after the perm settles and we figure out where it needs cutting). How would I go about styling it for getting pic two? And aside sleeping in a silk bonnet is there anything else I can do to make sure my curls stay pretty nice? My husband is of little help because his curls are perfect naturally.

Question To cut or not to cut?

Thumbnail
gallery
9 Upvotes

So I followed a brad mondo tutorial last year around August and well safe to say I regretted it immediately. I got it fixed & she did the best she could by joining the front and back. The front and sides are shorter than the back & because I lost so much length she suggested keeping the back longer. I've lost alot of the thickness too and because there's so many layers in it, idk it just doesnt feel right. When I pull all my hair to the front the length issue isn't as noticeable. My question is should I get another cut and cut the back of my hair shorter or just continue leaving it to grow? I now ofc realise I loved my hair the way it was and should of just left it alone 🤦🏻‍♀️
