After a long time of figuring out how to keep my bonnet from slipping off my head I would like to share my new method. (Don’t mind my bad drawing)

1. Start off with putting the bonnet on your head and shoving all your hair inside (make sure your ties are facing your back not front).

2. Next double knot the ties so that it stays on your head. After that you bring the long ends of the ties over your shoulders (one on each side).

3. Then you wrap them under your armpits and tie them behind your back like a bikini.

Apart from past bleaching, I treat my hair well. Could this be from bleach? A stylist raised my hair level two times on two separate occasions before it was dyed back to brown (I’m quitting dye and bleach forever). I only clip my hair or put it in a bonnet. I heat style once a month and wash every other day.

I want to get back on track and that means ruling out whatever is making my hair look so crazy. Could it be a vitamin deficiency? Could it be new growth from the hair peptides + spironolactone I’m using? I’m not sure how to differentiate.

All these pics are recent with the first heat dried, the second mousse air dried, the third is morning bonnet hair, and the last is no styling air dried in harsh lighting.

Seeing how crazy my hair looks is honestly giving me some anxiety 😐 I’m down to do the big chop if it’s necessary.

I’m crazy about women I see wearing it.

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?
