I have a very round head so I’ve had curtain bangs and long hair for the past few years. I’m thinking of switching it up. Any suggestions for a new style or cut?
Maybe shorter bangs or side bangs? Or a wolf cut? I’m open to ideas!

Shag or play it safe and stick with the basics?

I kind of like this style - but
1. It may not be right for my aging face
2. It seems to maybe take a specialist to get it right
3. No one else in my spheres has a style like it (might be too rock n roll)
4. My hair is extremely lifeless and flat.

Sample #1 is my fave - then maybe #3 but I don't have that poofy volume
My various short styles in recent years - current = upper LH - growing it out for a cut.
I used to have long auburn colored hair but now salt + pepper.

Hair Color Advice I'm scared hair dye would ruin my hair

• Upvotes

My hair is naturally brown (I think level 4-5), I fully bleached it myself ~3 years ago and it turned out neon orange , now I have mostly my natural color but I still have these orange lenghts/ends and it bothers me (¬⤙¬ )

So ofc I considered dying it brown, I already did it when I had a few inches of regrowth and what happened is when the hair dye faded, my natural color turned orange, just like the bleached part, so I never used dye again.

I would want to use henna but I'm scared it would give green undertones, or fade into green/red, I know someone who had this happen, her hair literally looked green in the sun

Is there a way I could dye my hair darker that wouldnt make my natural color lighter when it fades (or wouldnt fade at all) ?

I'm so scared to ruin 3 years of regrowth 🙏

Deciding whether to let my hair just grow out of the balayage I have and go back to my natural hair color or continue doing balayage or maybe a mocha brown. I have naturally curly hair that I only like to wear natural when I have lighter hair so I’m conflicted. Last photo is my natural hair color and texture no makeup

I have neutral olive skin and my natural hair color is very dark brown. I have tried many different hairs and now my hair is navy blue. I am thinking of dyeing it red or blue black, but I am open to different suggestions. I hate it when my skin looks green. What hair color can I avoid the most?

Help me find my dream pixie cut!✂️

Thumbnail

15 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 💕

I’ve been thinking about going for a much shorter, edgier pixie cut, but I’m struggling to figure out what would actually suit my face shape and hair type.

I already have an undercut on the left side, which I’d love to keep and incorporate into the new hairstyle.

My hair is naturally fine and tends to lie pretty flat, so I’m looking for something that would work with my actual hair texture rather than requiring tons of volume.
I’m drawn to short, textured, slightly messy pixies with a feminine fringe — something chic, a little edgy, but still soft and flattering.

What kind of pixie would you give me⁉️
I’d absolutely love specific haircut suggestions, celebrity references, or Pinterest inspiration pics!
Be honest — I’m open to ideas!

Should I cut my hair? It's basically all one length except in the front where it has some long layers. I'm 31 and already have grey's, it's genetics but yeah some days I just feel like cutting it short and dying it to camouflage my greys...

Hair Health Hair advice needed (thick hair gone thin)

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Currently having a hair crisis because I have an itch to get my hair done but am at a fork in the road!

For context, my hair used to be extremely thick and wavy growing up. As a swimmer years ago, I had a habit of using swimmers shampoo almost daily and ended up damaging my hair and it has not been back to its waves since. It looks thicker in the second slide where it’s styled (mom braids my hair) but when I don’t style it it feels thin to the point where my ears stick out sometimes and I’m so sick of it.

Part of the issue is definitely that I don’t get my hair trimmed enough, it’s almost butt length but has had stunted growth since the beginning of this year. It could also be affecting my waves but I’m not really wanting to cut my hair any more than 5 inches to take that gamble rn.

I’ve also considered maybe getting a digital perm? I have gotten a cold perm in the past after losing my waves but I heard this is a lighter formula used on the hair and really like the style. However I am still growing out my hime cut so I have an awkward length outlining my face and it might look weird (opinions?).

However I am wondering if I should start incorporating some products into my routine and getting my hair some volume first? Any products recommended? Thank you all for advice :)

I like the product, it does what it’s supposed to do. I only use a pea sized amount on my ends, but I smell its scent non stop until I wash my hair. It’s not that it smells bad but I just don’t want to smell that all day long, it’s exhausting. TIA!

The first picture is my bangs right now, the next is when I first got my bangs, and the third is how my hair looked before bangs.

Do you guys think I should keep the bangs or let them grow out? Thank you for your advice!

I went in on the 17th of October, I received a highlight (no bleach) and then tone.
(And before we say anything about no bleach - I’ve never needed bleach I’ve only used it once because I dyed my hair too dark 🥲 anyways)
Here are photos of my hair, it looks okay from a far but i just think it looks so patchy and not the best work. I would appreciate all honesty PLEASE and thank you and what’s the best idea to go about from here! Thank you so much in advance

Hair Health Please help with my greasy hair

1 Upvotes

I’m currently growing my hair out, and it's longer than it’s ever been. However, I’ve been encountering a strange problem recently. I have wavy, thin, oily, low porosity hair so I’m used to washing frequently and dealing with greasy hair. For some reason recently, my hair will be greasy and stringy directly after I’ve washed it. The strange thing is that it's not on the roots, but on the middle sections of my hair. I’ve changed my conditioner three times now; I’m currently using loreal Elvive for oily hair (the purple one) and cer-100 shampoo and Tsal for shampoo, but it started after I started using those. After I wash my hair, I diffuse until it's almost dry. I have no idea what could be causing the grease, but at this point I’m close to buying a shower filter. If anyone has any advice, that would be awesome. Thanks!

Hair Color Advice Can anyone help me identify my natural hair color?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

I’m trying to get back to my natural hair color (shown in the older photos), but I can’t figure out the exact shade.
Over the years, I’ve dyed my hair red, light blonde, dark blonde, and possibly light brown.
My current hair (the photo with my face scribbled over in green) looks brown with warm, slightly reddish/copper undertones, especially in sunlight. I don’t think my natural hair was actually brown, though.
I don’t have much experience with hair coloring, so I’d really appreciate help identifying my original shade and figuring out how to get back to it. What level and undertone would you say my natural hair is?

Hello!

Recently I’ve been really wanting to dye my hair all types of fun colors, my hair is pretty dull and boring and I really wanna dye it something like blue, teal, or purple, but I’m not sure if they’d look good on me. Also have been wanting to dye it a pastel color but again, idk if it’d wash out my features or not.
