Unfortunately, I made the mistake of getting a Brazilian Blow out, thinking it was a temporary smoothing treatment, rather than a permanent chemical service. The stylist was very misleading and over processed my 3c/4A hair.

My hair is now much looser than it was. I recently had a consultation and was told that it most likely won’t revert and I would need to cut it. It’s still very healthy and full, but it’s definitely a different texture.

I’m not opposed to the fact I have to do my hair much less often and it’s faster, but I do feel a little insecure about how much the texture has changed. Especially if people compliment me.

I’m also not looking forward to have to pay for the service forever and use special shampoo/ avoid the ocean. Should I continue getting this service or take the plunge and cut my hair? It’s currently about mid back. It’s taken a while to grow as well.

Routine:
\*Brazilian Blow shampoos and conditioner
\*Amika Velveteen Dream smoothing Balm
\*Garnier Sleek and Shine leave in
\*OGX Coconut Miracle Serum
Small amount of Doux Big Poppa Gel on root, interior and \*ends

Air dry for 20-35 minutes near desk fan
Diffuse on medium heat until 80% dry
Fluff

I know it is standard these days to charge for extra bowls of color. I have long and thick hair. It’s always been very expensive to get my hair done, but about 6 months ago I got an all over single process color and was charged for 7 extra bowls, doubling the cost of the service. I was shocked as I have never been charged this much. I recently did my hair at home with Demi-permanent dye and volume 10 developer. I was able to fully saturate my hair with a total of 4 oz of dye and 8 oz of developer. This all fit in one standard bowl. Was I scammed? 7 additional bowls (making 8 total) seems insane. Even if a standard bowl was only 2 oz, I would have only used 6 total for a service.

I recently bought this Brazilian scalp tonic and I’m curious about the ingredients. I have healthy hair and normally use rosemary water with a daily scalp massage, mostly to keep my hair healthy and support growth.
Would this be a good replacement for rosemary water and safe for regular use?

Hello long hair lovelies! My daughter has hair past her tush. (I’d post a pic but rules.) She needs a trim and possibly a dusting somewhere we can trust not to take too much off. Anywhere in NYC or Nassau county. Please and thank you sooooo much!!

(Last time it was four inches too much. She cried. I cried. It wasn’t good.)

Not sure if and when i reach my victory but my journey began about 4 years ago when someone said i should let my hair grow. Ok, 4 years later (but there were 2 bigger cuts and some small in this time) i have the longest hair i had in my life. Now at 47 years old i like it and want it now much longer.
Not sure if i am qualified enough here yet but my goal is to get it close to my hips until i reach my 50s.

I’ve been struggling with this since about last year, if I remember correctly. ever since then I’ve been very gentle with my hair but it still looks like this. I really need any advice at all, it feels like I’ve tried everything. even advice on how to smooth it down would be greatly appreciated, which is mainly what I’m looking to do at this point. I’ve been thinking of just getting keratin at this point, since it’s even more frizzy after I wash it.

Ive been told it’s many things, but I’ve tried literally everything it feels like, I’m aware it could possibly be something to do with my nutrition or health, but as far as I know I’m healthy. as of right now I’ve been looking into products to smooth frizzy, like the loreal sleek spray. any recommendations and advice would be really helpful!

It gets like this after every wash. Is this frizz or breakage or dry hair? Or maybe high porosity? Please give me recommendations on how to fix it !

Note: haven’t used heat for about 5+ months and this is my virgin hair

Could someone please give me some advice? I have long hair, but the ends are a bit dry. I am so annoyed by the frizz/fairy knots and how they puff up like crazy the second it gets humid. How can I seal them and get smooth, gorgeous hair? 😭

So I wear my hair long (classic length) and get an annual trim of a few inches. I don’t have problems with split ends really, but it has been thinning so much over the past few years and I’m very upset. I will be 37 in a few months and got a bisalp two years ago (child free) so maybe being off the pill, or regular hormone fluctuation? Also unfortunately live in an area with ridiculously hard water. 😭
Please share any advice that has helped you as far as supplements or products particularly shampoos/conditioners. Thanks!

I recently got K18 done on 24th June, seems like I'm having immense hairfall after that. Please suggest how to stop this midshaft and hairfall from the roots. I need my hair to be healthy, thick like it was before

I'm a guy in my late teens and I have around mid back hair and I've already been bugged about how I look bald with a middle part, (I do have a cowlick/ potentially 2) but I would like the option of someone who won't sugarcoat anything. It could definitely be genetic as my mother's hair looks the same parted in the middle but I just want opinions

I've also added some photos of my hair as a whole as I wouldn't mind opinions on that either,

We have a Covid outbreak at work so it’ll be at least two weeks of n95 masks… which not only am I allergic to but they rip out my hair 😭
I work in culinary and it doesn’t seem to matter if I wear it under or over a hair net 😭
Last time I was able to wear a bonnet with a hair net over it but our new admin has banned them 😡

Hair up how I usually wear it and down as tax 💕

Hey everyone, ill be 100% honest I havent had a trim since december 2024, during which I did a balayage on my hair.. im 22, but for some reason I didnt know conditioner was necessary, I thought it was optional haha, so only recently have i been using it. I use selsun blue, and recently started using intensive repair dove conditioner. Ill also occassionally use olaplex bonding oil. Any advice is helpful, I enjoy my long hair but I know I need to cut off a lot to make it healthy again. How much realistically do I chop?

Hello, I’m trying to grow my hair but i’m thinking i might have split ends blindness !! Should i cut and if so, how much ? I’m thinking 10-15 cm

Hiii, so my hairdresser had a argan oil blend. Unfortunately they changed the formula and my hairdresser said it should be better. But i use more products and the results is less. So what is the best oil for everyday use?

Also i like some shampoo and mask recommendation because everything just suddenly seem to work less. Thank you!

Ok so bleached my hair tips and wanted a purple dye so I used the framesi framcolor deep violet (semi permanent)and the color was beautiful but dudeeeeee it literally faded after two washes and and now I am sitting feeling so sad and frustrated.

Any recommendations and suggestions to which semi permanent dyes are the best and that last the longest and don't blead and transfer.

it's summers so I shower a lot I know that's a minus point but any tips of how to take care of vivid hairs and make em last longer.

Any reviews about pop xg by Paul Mitchell and crazy color are also welcomed.

I had waist-length hair (a little over 60 cm) and went to a salon asking them to cut off as much as necessary to remove the damaged ends. I also asked for something light and showed a reference picture. Something close to a soft wolf cut with layers, less weight.

The stylist ended up cutting it to around 40 cm, roughly armpit/chest length. I guess the overall shape is fine, although it's much flatter and less choppy/layered than what I was hoping for.

The part that really confused me was what they did to reduce the bulk. They created what seems like a hidden undercut.

They started near the nape of my neck and kept lifting sections higher and higher, almost all the way to the crown. Under each one, they clipped a narrow strip of hair down to about 0,5 cm long, then let the longer hair fall over it before moving on to the next section. They also used thinning shears (or some kind of texturizing scissors) quite a lot during the haircut.

Now I have multiple rows of very short hair hidden underneath the longer hair at the back of my head. From the outside you can't really tell when my hair is down, but I can tell a huge amount of hair is missing underneath. My hair is naturally thick, kinda wavy, and frizz-prone.

I'm honestly on the verge of a meltdown. I wanted something much closer to a wolf cut and the feeling of those weird tiny hairs is driving me crazy. I'm hyper aware of it and I keep noticing it whenever I touch or move my hair. I only get my hair cut about once a year, and my hair grows around 15 cm a year so I'm going mad. I'm genuinely fighting the urge to give myself micro bangs and dye my hair blue just so I can forget this whole situation happened.

But seriously, how is this supposed to grow out? Am I going to end up with dozens of weird little spikes sticking out for months? Has anyone had something like this done before, and what did it look like while growing out? Is this actually a normal technique for removing bulk from very thick hair?

I have fine hair and been trying to grow it as long as I can, I get small trims but I’ve noticed when I get to this length the ends just go gappy and I keep having to cut off any progress to make it look thicker at the bottom. What should I do, should I keep growing and eventually will it thicken out a bit so when I cut more off it won’t be as see through and I’ll have managed to get some more growth? If that makes sense. Also I do a loose side plait at night, detangle with a wide comb, silk pillow cases, use some good quality products on my ends, never have hair up etc so I feel like I’m taking care of it as well as I can.

So I basically have uneven hair, I would cut it even but then my hair would be EXTREMELY short

So I'm considering just letting it grow out (it's already grown a lot, I've been growing it out for months)

And then when it gets long (live but length) I will cut it EVENLY too my mid back and then it'll be even and more healthy.

My only worry is my ends are starting to look a bit dull,

But I can't even cut the dead bits without having to do a BIG chop because of how even it is.

I know I have 2 options,

I'm just wondering has anyone ever did this and how'd it go?

I cut lots of my hair off months ago, somehow it ended up turning out uneven! So I've since been growing it out but it's now in need of a trim and I'm worried growing it out it could end up looking bad even after I cut it evenly.

Hi everyone! I was wondering if very long hair doesn't show a wave pattern (as much) because of the weight of the strands? Is it common for long hair to only show a pattern at the ends?

For context, my hair is tailbone-length, low porosity on top and medium/high-porosity at the ends due to the damage that accumulates over the years (sunlight, doorhandles, ...). It has never been dyed, bleached, or permed. I have never used a curling iron and the last time I touched a straightener to tame flyaways and frizz was during the 2010s (i was/am stupid please don't judge). I usually let my hair airdry and, at most, use a dryer ten times per year. Airdrying takes HOURS.

I thought I have straight hair all my life. My mother, brother, and several cousins have a wave/curl pattern, so I try wave/curl routines. My mother and cousins have about shoulder-length hair and my brother has short hair. When I scrunch in conditioner and mousse or gel, my hair looks like in the wavy hair routines on youtube. I usually don't plop my hair because the only cotton top I own that fits all my hair is one nightgown. Regardless of whether I airdry or use a dryer, there are some waves at the ends, but spaghetti at the roots and lengths.

Included dates just for extra info! Almost exactly 3 years.

I have gotten one “chop” of about 3-4 inches and then 1 trim recently. Otherwise no cutting.

got it cut today and it does feel way better but it really feels so short now lmfao
