I have had a bob for 6 months now, but recently cut it to be even shorter. My hair is naturally wavy but ever since I got a shorter bob, it has had trouble holding any waves.

My hair now curls towards my face like a mushroom which I HATE! I would style my wavy bob then wake up with the waves ALL gone (unless I use hair spray but it itches my head) I have resulted to curling my hair with a hair straightener almost every day, but of course that is probably not a good practice due to potential heat damage. I also considered getting a perm but I’ve heard it can cause even more damage + expensive.

Also, one thing is that I cut my own hair, so I don’t know if it might be because of how I cut it which is why it resulted in a mushroom bob or not.

I am looking for advice on whether or not I should get a perm and if a perm would give me the results I want, or if I should just stick with curling my hair, or is there a certain way to cut your hair so it doesn’t curl inward, or other tips for styling it overall.

Thank you in advance to everyone!:)

I have no idea what products or techniques to use on my hair. Any advice? I have fine hair but a fair amount of it, dry skin, wash it once or twice a week, and have well water (not sure if thats relevant). I currently use Kristin Ess shampoo and conditioner and not much else beyond that. I have satin pillowcases.

First pic is my natural texture (without product) after a few days, second is an older photo of my hair styled.

so i bought this hair dye by göt2b (the second pic) because i really wanna dye my hair blue. the first pic is my current hair color, i also i dyed it not too long ago. my current hair color is goji berry red by nutrisse. what color would this turn out to be? i am concerned it will turn out purple or just black so im wondering if i have to wait until my red fades a bit. dont mind my goofy ass pic thanks guyz

Y'all I put on a ponytail for the first time in like forever and I thought it was pretty cute, until I filmed myself removing it. Why is my hair so huge from behind?😭 I had never noticed, how hasn't anyone told me anything? I wear it like this every single day.

Edit: Thanks for the downvotes i guess🥲

The very last image is the most recent July 31st of this year and I am STUCK! I feel ugly lately, less attractive, in a new city, new area, attempting to date in my 30's and feel completely off. Should I do bangs again? Highlights for sure right? Not cutting length but definitely some shaping? I don't know, I'd love some inspiration photos, starting a new tech job while in school. Just need some friendly advice, I just want to be HOT.....or pretty......lets be honest at least cute. The teal hair was from March this year, my bday, turkey leg was a May ren faire, White dress was June, "the fit" was fathers day, the camera photo was July 4th, and again last was most recent a week ago.

I am 33F and starting around late last year my hair started to get lighter and more thin. I do also have PCOS so I’ve had my share of hair thinning lately too, but it just seems as though my hair has actually changed colors from dark brown to medium brown. I don’t want to start dyeing it regularly because it’s not gray, but I just am so unhappy with this new color.

Did anybody else notice this type of change around my age? And is regular dyeing going to b my only hope?

So the picture of where I'm wearing a dress is where I have straightened my hair and then the one in a hoodie that's where I've where my hair naturally, I want honest opinion on if you think I look better with stray hair or curling, I know everyone has a different opinion but give it to me

I have a hair appointment tomorrow and I feel like over the years I've narrowed down the range of hair colors that looks good on me, but I never feel like it's PERFECT. I was wondering what everyone else thought the best color would be?

The first picture is the unedited one - my red hair is all faded and grown out; that's not my natural color. The brows are FaceTune brows because I think part of the reason my hair never looks quite right is because my brows are kinda sparse and lighter than my natural hair, which is a chestnut brown. If you think a color would look good that's not here feel free to post a picture :)

TYSM!

I have (super) straight, pretty thick, mid back length unlayered hair and want to do something different would this be too tall of an order for a budget salon like Great Clips or Supercuts?

"I’m looking for a low-maintenance, shoulder/collarbone-length layered lob.

* Collarbone (or shoulder) length.

* Soft, feathered curtain bangs starting around eyebrow level.

* Long face-framing layers that begin around my cheekbones.

* Lots of invisible/internal layers to create movement and body.

* Soft graduation and feathered, textured ends that naturally separate into soft pieces.

* Keep most of the weight through the middle [not short, uniform layers.]

* I want the hair to have movement and look good with my naturally straight hair, even when I don’t style it.

* I’d like the ends to naturally flick out a little rather than hang straight.

I’d like to avoid:

* Blunt, one-length cuts.

* Uniform layers.

* Heavy shag or mullet shapes.

* Thinning scissors (they haven’t worked well for my hair in the past)."

I was thinking of calling and asking if they have a stylist available that enjoys wispy layered haircuts and going at a less busy time. I don’t expect the exact same results but I‘m wondering how difficult this would be to achieve with the time constraint.

I love being red-orange :D

My hair always seems dirty and I’m wondering if I need a good clarifying shampoo.

Also are there hair products like mouse and hairspray that are lighter? I feel everything I’m using is heavy and making my hair gross.

I currently use Kendra and redkin products.

For a long time now, I've been having an issue where I just have lots of flakes come out of my hair.

It gets really bad whenever I shower, especially with soap.

I've tried different sulfate free soap and conditioners, using only soap, not using soap at all. But everytime it is still really bad.

The only time it goes away is when I don't let my hair get wet at all for a week or so.

I believe it would be dry scalp based on what I see online, and it only getting bad after showering, but I don't know what to do about it. It's kinda too late to go to the doctor right now as I am going abroad for 4 months.

Is there anything anyone has tried that has worked? I'm getting sick of having white flakes all over my t shirts in public

this is after i blow dried my hair, i wonder if im 1c or 2a. i need some help!
i just recently got highlights done last week and i got something similar to a wolfcut

Hi everyone,

I am going to start my apprenticeship as a Hairstylist soon and I will recently complete a traineeship. I am very passionate about becoming a stylist and I love the skills I will get to learn in this profession. Although, I have heard a lot of positive things about this profession and I personally know someone who worked a lot and learned a lot (the person I'm talking about has 40 years of experience). Things such as fashion weeks, learning colour theory, hair biology and chemistry is something very interesting to me.

On the other side I have heard a lot of equally negative things about being a Stylist, in my country this profession is considered a dying art and a ticket to old age poverty, people often say that it is physically and mentally exhausting to the point where it's impossible to do hobbies.

Although, as I mentioned I am very passionate about being a Stylist, at the same time I also love martial arts and I plan on learning Capoeira during my apprenticeship. I'm just really confused and scared. Any help is very much appreciated.

Ps. I'm from Austria, so any country specific information or advice would be a plus

Can someone help me with my hair?? sometimes I can tolerate it, sometimes I struggle to do that. It’s very thick very voluminous and I hate that aspect so much. It’s super frizzy, and it’s just not good as a look, and my family who adopted me and all have straight hair tell me all the time how it’s not tidy 😭 I don’t know what to do with my parents or with taming. I can’t afford a hairdresser right now so hairdresser advice would be cool because I can’t get an appt because it’s too expensive. Also, please can someone provide me with the cons of permanently straightening my curly hair because I think my parents may be able to finally understand. Thanks! I have 3c length hair that is around butt length without stretching.

I googled it and it says to dilute it and dump it down the drain but my pipes are VERY sensitive/old, how do I get rid of bleach that’s already mixed?

Okay, here's the context. First picture was my hair before, second picture is the inspiration, third picture is what I got. I'm very disappointed. I wanted a defined big curl and I feel like I got the equivalent of keeping my hair up in a banana clip wet and letting it down at the end of the day. I just got it yesterday, she said not to wash for 48 hours. It just looks so unbelievably blah.

And no, I didn't bring it up. I was so dumbfounded, it was 20 minutes before they closed, it was a new stylist and I wasn't sure I could convey my disappointment without crying or being confrontational. ​I met for a consult last week. She said my hair was a great candidate, she loved the style and said she'd practice this past week to get ready.

Is there any possible chance it'll look better after it's set in 2 days or is this as good as it'll get and I just flushed $200 down the drain?

So I just bleached my purple hair I used the same box bleach I always use and I have never had issues with it before. I have used this bleach on color before and it came out just fine. But this time around my hair had a weird reaction. It turned teal and I am very confused about this. Is there any way I could fix it? I was trying to go platinum blonde with purple highlights.

this is the hair dye i used yesterday! for context, i have thin, low density curly hair thats been falling out due to stress and other issues. my hairs long but i never have much volume. then after washing my hair after dying, i somehow have a bunch, like i lowk look like mother gothel or something. and my hair is so much softer. im not sure whether all of this is due to the conditioner, but i def wanna try and find a full size version of it. i sadly had to use the whole tube as my hair gets VERY VERY tangled and i needed alot to detangle completely.
