23f, I’m so upset I can barely write this. I keep almost forgetting about it and laughing for a moment, then loooking in the mirror, and it just eats me up. I can’t barely do this I need it back I need my hair back. I really need some advice and maybe a reality check, no sugar coating just because I’m upset, on if it’ll ever actually come back as pretty and dense as ir was before. I’m soooo heart broken I haven’t been able to stop crying or sleep.

Title is the story. Was violently attacked over two days and was dragged/slammed my my hair over and over and just otherwise attacked pretty severely. The bald spots are kind of every where but this is the one most easily photographed and really makes the difference in my hair imo..

I had shaved my head with my grandmother before she passed of pancreatic cancer in 2021 and pretty much let it grow out till then without any dye until maybe the past year and I would only dye it black. Overall I was always told how thick and beautiful my hair was, even when I was feeling like maybe it wasn’t.

I have been on Semaglutide since April, and I have lost 85lbs since 1/1/26.
I had already noticed my hair thinning and was worried so I started taking Lustriva and kirkland multivitamin. I use The Ordinary hair serum daily. For my shampoo and conditioner I use the garnier whole blends honey treasures.

I’m going to start a fish oil pill or maybe pumpkin seed oil, hair oiling before washes with pumpkin seed oil and rosemary essential oil, dove bond repair hair mask, and I’m considering reaching out to a dermatologist and getting on minoxidil or something of the sort (I can’t take it topically because I have 4 cats). I know all these products aren’t great quality but I’m so broke atm.

But my questions are:
Will it come back the same way it did? Do I need to get a hair transplant if I ever want it back without taking meds daily? What can I/should I do now?! Please please please help me I’m so devastated

Hi. My daughter, who has long, fine but thick hair, was operated on last week, all went well. Except I think they put her on operating table w wet hair and she was then on her back for 13 hrs in operating room. She now has a huge mat in the back of her hair. There also seems to be specks of glue. I've been trying to untangle it by taking a cluster of strands, spraying w detangling spray, and gently separating the strands. So far I've worked around the giant mat but I need to start on it. Is there a better way? this will take forever. thx

Hi everyone!

I’m graduating soon and want to go to a professional salon for a high bun, however, I have a few concerns:

I have curly, frizzy hair with very short layers, so hairstyles never last.

High styles always hurt my head. The only things that don't hurt are braids or banana/claw clips. I don't know if it's because I have too much hair or because I don't know how to style it right.

I prefer some volume at the crown to elongate my face, but it usually turns into a mess. I don't mind a slick-back but I'd like to know my options.

My questions:

1. Can a stylist make a high bun comfortably without torturing my scalp, or should I stick to a low style?

2. Can they give me volume at the top without it getting frizzy, or is a slick-back my only option?

I would love to hear your tips or experiences. Thanks!

P.S. A stylist specializing in curly hair is not an option because they're unfortunately out of my budget. I'm planning on going to a low-budget neighborhood salon.

Lately, I've been considering getting my hair done, and I think I need a change of color. But I'm not sure what I can do.

About a year ago, I committed the awful sin of boxed black hair dye, and I've spent all of this time slowly trying to get it out. I've done two Color Oops color removing treatments, my last treatment being around July or August. It's patchy, and still clinging to parts of my hair, while other parts are much lighter, and I think it looks lighter or darker depending on the lighting. I just want one nice even color, but I'm terrified of bleach. (Edit: These pictures are of my current hair) Does anyone have any ideas about what color might flatter me best/ what I can do? Thank you for reading <3

My hair has been this way my entire life. I'm sick of dealing with it. I don't want curly hair.

This is air dried after a shower with some leave in conditioning spray.

I'm used to dying my hair black, but I developed a PPD allergy. I tried dying it blonde at home and it was so ugly.

The only dye I've found to make it dark is Herb Speedy on Amazon but it's expensive and does NOT last, it washes out of my hair after a few washes. Other temp hair dyes don't even grasp onto my hair at all.

My hair also seems to never get any longer.

I'm at the point where I will only leave the house wearing a wig.

I feel so hideous and depressed and I don't know what to do. If I could dye it black again it would greatly help my self esteem but I scourge the internet, ChatGPT, etc etc and never find anything.

Someone please help me.

First pic is me, second is the hairstyle I want but i need genuine advice on whether my face shape/forehead would make it look like ass. Help me reddit.

If second slide would look bad, give me suggestions i appreciate any help.

I have been using hair straighteners since early teenage years and have tried a lot of the Remington ones - Keratin infused ones, pro versions, etc, but they all seem to break within two to three years due to short circuiting (although it could be my fault).

Since my recent one broke, I am looking for a new alternative. I live in Western Europe, so some less-popular US brands will probably not deliver to me.

I am open to any suggestions within any price range, please let me know why something works for you and why is it worth it :))

I use heat-protection creams and sprays regularly, and the straightener I use about 3-4 times a week.

Right now I have blue hair with some remaining black in it. I would like to go ginger. Does anyone have tips on how to remove this at home cheaply before I go to the hairdresser?

First one is me now. I have no real hair history when it comes to styling. But I have been thinking about going blonde for a while now. The second one with layers and curtain bangs is what I want to show to a hair stylist. How realistic would it be?

Bonus style question: Does the colour suit my palette or would a shade of brown work better?

After having pink hair for years, I stopped dying it 2 years ago and have grown out my natural colour. But when I look in the mirror I don’t see myself. I was wondering if blonde works for me? I want something more fun, I considered a panel but don’t love how they look on curly hair. TIA :)

Hey all!

I've recently started attempting to tame my curly hair and give it volume. I tried looking up some advice on Google and bought some of its recommended products but its not really helping. I believe my hair is either the 2B or 2C type, im not exactly sure. I need advice from real people who also have to fight the frizz. Does anyone have any recommendations? I've been spending hours to try to get it presentable and its driving me crazy cause it still looks bad

This is my current routine:

• Aussie Miracle Curls Shampoo x2
• Aussie Miracle Volume Conditioner, avoiding the scalp
• Brush with a wet brush while still damp
• TRESemme Amplified Volume Mousse on the upper hair & scalp
• Bronner Bros Oil Moisturizer Hair Lotion on the mid to lower part of hair
• Dry with a hair dryer diffuser by flipping my hair upside down
• Adjust hair by patting or running my fingers through it

Halp 😭

I wore a wig for a halloween party and a couple people told me I look younger with shorter hair. Now i'm seriously debating a hair cut. I haven't gone that short in 20 years.

I used the Chat GPT and did a bit of photoshopping to the results to give me my face back. What do you guys think?

Hi all, I am planning on getting short bangs very soon and am trying to find a mini flat iron to use to style them. I’ve done some research but am struggling to find a dual voltage iron that ideally has a lower heat setting (360F or so). If anyone has recommendations let me know!

For context, I have Indian 2b hair. It’s black so I would have to dye it. I’ve never dyed my hair and I’m terrified of significant hair loss and losing my wave pattern. I’ve attached a picture of what I’d want to do ideally. What were your experiences like with dying hair?

Hey! I’ve been very safe with my haircuts while waiting for the big day but I feel like I’m ready for a more drastic change. Shorter? Color? Bangs? I love my long hair but it just feels so flat and boring now.

I live in the UK FYI, after stepping outside if the weather is slightly damp my hair just poofs out and has a layer of frizz all over especially the top section. No serum seems to help.

What would fix this, a keratin blowdry?

My mom cut my bangs last night…and now they look horrible! Someone pls help

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

Photos
- outdoors (looks much more red)
- indoor doesn’t look a million miles off (just darker)
- then the absolute dream.

I’m getting a new set of extensions after a few months break. I have my consultation in two weeks and would LOVE to achieve this colour in time for that so I can get my dream hair.

Years ago I used the same box dye that I’ve used this time and it came out beautifully/exact but this time it’s just not it.

Thank you so much x

My mom cut them too short.
The only way i could hide them is using a hair-clip.
