After years of straightening and damaging my hair , I've been trying to embrace my hair and try wavy routine lately. This is how it turned out today but the thing is it turned too frizzy after sometime and it was overwhelming so I had to tie it up. Please gimme some suggestions and advice to avoid frizz and make smoother. My hair is not exactly curly naturally but kind of wavy between straight and curly

I started with proper haircare from March after Holi when my hair fall was at peak. I have always been among those who gets panic seeing too much hairfall this was around January when I tried enumerous remedies and hair packs but these all made hairfall more worse.

Then looking at stories of people who have regrown their hairs that motivated me with knowing what my hairs actually need and around march I stepped on with proper hair care simple routine.

These results are not upto what expected and still i face hairfall not too much but still noticeable so working with them.

Changes I made in routine and lifestyle-

1. Added more proteins to my diet trying some peanut butter and eggs on weekly basis.
2. Rosemary water spray once before going to sleep that too with gentle massage so as to ensure it penetrates into scalp easily
3. Changing sampoo and conditioner from genral to active added ingredients like onion, amla, rosemary, etc
4. Scalp massage with finger tips to boost blood flow, 2-3 minutes on alternative days
5. Gentle detangling using wider tooth comb to prevent snapping
6. Stoped using too many products on my hair to keep my hair care simple and work efficiently
7. Avoided heat using scarf to protect from direct sunlight and also stopped blow drying my hairs and used towel instead to dry my hairs

These were few things that I changed from March to till date of my hair regrowth journey.

Hello yesterday I got a keratin treatment. It hadn’t been 5 hours and my hair was puffy when I took my daughter to the zoo about 3 hours later. Now I do admit I went out that night I did sweat a little. I called the salon, they were nice and said come Saturday and they will do the whole treatment again. My question is that good for my hair to get treatment so soon? Is the keratin ruined? Why on earth did it puff up so much? It’s not like I went exercising. I was wearing braids for years and I got tired of it. I have never been able t keep a silk press at all, I thought keratin would work. I paid $400. I’m not blaming the stylist, she was great. Just asking if it’s safe to get again so soon? And maybe answers if this happened to anyone before. My hair is 4C VERY THICK AND LOTS OF SHRINKAGE. 1st pic is while blowout. 2nd is done still at shop, o got my ends clipped, and the last pics in turtle neck were taken a sec ago. Any advice on what I should do? TIA

I was shocked to find that Sun In is still around! I saw it in Target! My mom was surprised too - she used it in the 80s.
What is your experience with it?

I'm worried about my hairline. What do you think?

I have medium/fine hair, and a lot of it. I would say my natural curl patter would be 2c or 3a. No matter what I do these tiny short hairs create a curly frizzy halo whenever I tie my hair up. Whether I am trying to embrace my curls, sleek them down, or just get my hair out of the way, they pop up and I feel like I look so disheveled. Even if I do manage to get a smooth look, my heat exudes so much heat that any humidity or even my natural sweating completely destroys the styling. And I overheat very easily.

I just want my hair to look nice, but instead I always look like I haven't had a wash or taken a brush to it for weeks. I don't know what else to do besides chop it off

Hey all, so I have kind of mixed hair texture. Like some wavy some curly and some straight.

I want to try wavy method like after conditioner I just wrap it in a microfiber towel. And later apply any serum on damp hair.

Now I am thinking to apply a leave in conditioner and gel/mousse/cream whichever is lightest and try to scrunch.

The question is which is the best gel or mousse? Is leave in conditioner necessary? Or just serum will work? I don't want that stiffness in my hair from any product.

Please help.

Just so we know, I'm a dude with shoulder length hair, first time growing it out, 2 years and a bit.

I work at a construction materials wholesaler, plaster, mortar, meshes, styrofoam, pallets, the whole 9 yards, and of course concrete. I often end up sweeping the floors after some spills or the floor is just dirty. As much as it is okay in general, my hair is in a ponytail, I put a beanie on as it's cold nowadays... I feel like when I sweep, the dust gets kicked up in the air, and some other things like that. After work, my hair ends feel dirty to the touch, and dry. As far as I know, concrete dries stuff out, skin too, so yeah.

My question is, is that 8 hour or whatever, not constant, just sometimes, but often times every day during the work week, exposure and then residue doing something bad to my hair? If so, what should I do to fix it, both the damage that might have been done, or is to come? Do I just wash the stuff off and I'm good to go? Oh yeah, I wash every other day, and then condition, just that, and then wide tooth comb and air dry. I have brown lightly wavy hair.

oh and for airway ppe, yes i knoww

Hello guys so I was trying to grow out my hair for last 7 months growth was pretty good since I was pregnant. I went to a salon and asked for ash blond balayage and they severely damaged my hair from the ends. Now when my hair is wet it is so elastic that it breaks when I touch them and when it’s dry, it’s so rough and dry. What should I do? I’m so depressed it took me a long time to grow out my hair.

My whole life I have had pretty much pin straight hair. After washing it, it could air dry and be straight as a board. Over the last 6 months to a year maybe I’ve noticed that my hair no longer ends up as straight as it used to. I’m getting tiny curls in my baby hairs around my face and this is what my hair looks like after a shower and air dry. I’m also noticing it is can be quite frizzy after I brush it? I’ve been a very bare bones gal with my hair forever so I don’t really know what to think. (Last 2 photos are older and awful, apologies in advance lol)

Now I could totally be making it up in my head, and I have really no idea or expectations on what could be happening, but just wanted to see what others who maybe have experienced the same thing or have some waviness to their hair might think.

P.S. Don’t mind the split ends, I’ve needed a hair cut for a while.🫣

I've been wondering if getting enough sleep has anything to do with keeping your hair and scalp healthy, especially when it comes to dandruff. Most of the hair care advice I see is about using the right shampoo, conditioner, or scalp treatments. But I rarely see people talk about whether having a good sleep schedule makes any difference. My sleep schedule isn't always consistent, and it got me thinking if that could affect my scalp or make dandruff worse. I know stress can sometimes affect your skin, so I'm curious if poor sleep could have a similar effect. I'm not expecting that sleeping 7 to 9 hours every night will magically get rid of dandruff, but I'm wondering if it can at least help prevent flare-ups or improve your hair health over time.

Has anyone noticed less dandruff or healthier hair after improving their sleep schedule? Or does sleep not really have much to do with it?

Hello, Ive just gotten my hair dyed on Thursday and I'm looking for recommendations sulphate free shampoos and conditioners that are safe to use every wash to maintain and upkeep the pink. I already have a colour depositing shampoo and conditioner, but these products arent for every wash. Thank you.

Hi

I got my hair bleached at the salon and it looks and feels unusually dry, frizzy and straw like (my hair is curly type 3b)

The hair dresser mentioned that she will use k18. I asked her about it she said she micxwd it witth the bleach. Bleach sat on my hair for at least 1 hr

Now that my hair looks awful I am wondering if that might be the cause?

She also bleached my hair grey when I asked for warm bronde so I am heart broken. But lets focus on why my hair is so dryyyy. Thanks!

Everytime I put my hair up it lays like that, and I’ve tried gel but maybe the pieces are too short cause they don’t stay slicked back for long. I have cut my hair short in the past pixie cut, now it’s to my bra strap and layered, but I can’t put it up without feeling insecure about these pieces idk what to do. I know cutting them is definitely not the answer please help 🙏

This is how my hair looks after my current routine

Shampooing and conditioning, brushing it out then air drying it.

That’s all I do because whenever I use a styling product, I feel like my hair just looks stringy and gross and gets weighed down SO easily.

GIRLS !!!! Je PANIQUE !!! J'ai 30 ans et je vois mes copines un peu plus âgées commencer à avoir des cheveux blancs. J'ai vu qu'il y a des sérums pour ralentir l'arrivée des cheveux blancs ou les recolorer petit à petit. Vous pouvez me dire si ça marche et lesquels sont efficaces ?

è da un po' di mesi a questa parte che i miei capelli mi danno problemi; sono costretta a lavarli ogni giorno perchè sono sottili e nel giro di qualche ora le radici si sporcano, sono fragili, si spezzano/cadono facilmente, non hanno volume, sono spenti, hanno perso la loro forma e nelle punte sono crespi e sembrano paglia (premessa: non faccio uso né di tinte/coloranti vari né di piastre).

Ho provato la linea di Garnier per capelli rovinati e quella per capelli grassi, ma nessuna delle due mi ha portato grandi cambiamenti.

Potete consigliarmi delle marche che potrebbero fare al caso mio e che hanno delle linee per capelli fragili tendenti alla caduta/ capelli fini che si sporcano facilmente? Ho sentito buone recensioni su Elvive, ma non è un'azienda che approvo quindi preferirei altro, se provo a cercare online trovo solo brand virali come Olaplex, Kerastase etc, ma prima di spendere un rene per uno shampoo vorrei sapere se esistono delle alternative più economiche.

Se avete qualche consiglio lo accetto volentieri, sono disperata.

What are some measures you guys have put in place against hair loss

I’ve a receding hairline and very bad hairfall problems, damaged also I’ve tried a lot of shampoos and home remedies but still Every time I wash my hair, the clump in the drain gets bigger. It’s starting to really mess with my head. I know stress and water quality play a part, but I desperately need to switch my routine. For those of you who actually managed to reduce hair fall and breakage in the shower, what products did you switch to? Need real answers, not just Instagram ad hype.

Soon after I gave birth to my, so far first and only child, I unfortnately moved into an apartment that has hard water real bad. I'm moving out of it soon to a home with well water. So that should help with my issue over time (I hope).

My hair looked so healthy during and shortly after pregnancy, but I do think hormones or other postpartum bodily changes could have occurred and played a role in my hair quality going downhill. Definitely some shedding and loss immediately afterwards. Maybe 5 or so months postpartum, my hair became excessively oily in the weirdest way, feeling like I was washing a thick syrupy, oily texture out for a while on a daily basis. That gross oiliness stopped after a few months.

I have been using clarifying shampoos since my teens, and all has been well with that. I've used mostly organic shampoos and soaps also since my late teens, and never had any issues.

I did experience really bad hair loss/shedding a few times post 2020 months after getting covid 2 times, and from high stress from living with an abusive ex. That's all I have for other prior hair issue history.

My hair has been struggling for about a year and a half now, and I feel terrible about how I look in public for brief grocery trips, and errands.

Currently my hair just looks so clumpy and damaged and greasy, when it's freshly washed and dried. Sometimes if I brush and comb it a lot right after showering it dries nicely and can look flattering, but hours later looks terrible.

I am looking to get it trimmed and layered. And I would prefer to stick to natural products.

Any topical oils, supplements, collagen products, ?rice water?, dietary changes, natural shampoos or conditioners that could be recommended that might help.

Subtle/low or no fragrance please. My go to products usually have rose, almond, tea tree, or honeysuckle types of scents. I'm not fond of conditioners, but use them on occasion. I'm allergic to mango, so can't have that be an ingredient.

I am receptive and open to feedback, and will hear out and try new products. Just need advice on how to undo the current damage.

I take gentle iron, magnesium, zinc, and B12 daily, or near daily if i'm too distracted and busy some days. I've always been heavily vegetarian leaning.

Sorry my post is a mess, I'm out with my 18 month old at the moment, and he's hyperactive and I'm struggling to focus on my phone.

I cut my long wavy hair into a long bob thinking that it would get more bouncy (not weighed down). Now it is basically straight. Do I need to change my products or Is this just how it is going to be?

Hii I need some help on what I should repurchase for my hair. I struggle with very dry and frizzy hair and I can’t get it to look better. I have been using the food for soft and I do think it made my hair softer but didn’t help with the dryness and frizz. I was thinking of getting Odele products to try out as well as their leave in conditioner. I would really appreciate some help.

Been using - food for soft shampoo and conditioner + lush super milk and the food for soft hair oil
