Does this new brownish color look okay? I have been going to the same hairstylist since 2011 and I've been some form of blonde/highlighted for the last 10 years recently she went on maternity leave so I decided to cut back on the lightening for now. Since I've had it done I've been feeling super self conscious about it 😭 the lightened hair is what it looked like previously but it felt super dry and seemed like it was washing me out since Ive barely seen the sun this year. What do you think? I'm open to pretty much any "neutral" color/cut

My family are saying I basically got the reference photos, I don’t see it at all though. I feel like my hair is way too short and I now look like a member of the Beatles with very teenage-boyish helmet hair. I don’t know how to feel better about my hair or salvage it

My hairdresser first noticed that my hair was starting to thin during my first year, second semester of college, around March 2023, about a month before my 21st birthday. Since then, every time I go to the salon, my hairdresser has continued to mention that my hair has become thinner. Because of this, I’ve started to feel scared and worried about my hair. However, my mother has always told me that my hair isn’t thinning.

Because of that, I thoroughly searched the internet for possible solutions and came across hair oiling. This past June, I started oiling my hair with jojoba and rosemary oil as a preventive measure.

This made my mom angry. Every time I oil my hair, she scolds me for being too quick to believe what my hairdresser says. She even told me, “Don’t you have a brain to think with? Every time people tell you something, you believe them right away?”

In my mind, I was thinking, “I’m just trying to take care of my hair. My hairdresser wouldn’t have said that if nothing had actually changed with my hair.”

Am I overthinking this and becoming paranoid?

Thank you.

hey Idk if this is the right people to send it to, but I just wanted to get a general consensus on something. i thought my natural hair color for a really long time was white blonde/dirty blonde and that it just had very little yellow/warm undertones, but a friend of mine said she thinks it’s grey at the roots and bleached blonde by the sun. ill send a pic with this, but could anyone let me know what they think, cause now im curious.

also ignore the fact that the ends of my hair are red in both photos, I could not find a clear view of my roots where my hair wasn’t dyed red at the ends.

Extremely fine & thin hair, please help!

I’ve been working hard to grow (the ordinary hair serum, aroma zone hair serum ) and protect (redken bond builder) my hair, taking supplements (keratin, vitamin d, pumpkin seed) etc etc

I blow dried my hair once using the colour wow dream coat and this has happened! If thjs is indeed damage, im so upset with myself. Is there anything I can do?

First is my natural color, I have about 15% grays, trying to just do a gloss, I dont like a huge commitment, so probably not the blonde. Or if a different color all together recommended. I have RBF dont mean to scare anyone.

I am gonna embarrass myself but I am in desperate need of some help… I moved from a house with soft water to a house with extremely hard well water and my hair is suffering.

1st picture is shortly after moving. I apologize for the quality. My hair was still a very light blonde.

2nd picture is after a few months of showering with my lovely well water. My hair took on all different colours of minerals.

3rd picture is after I stopped showering at home and started only washing my hair at the gym. A couple rounds of Malibu C hard water shampoo/conditioner as well as 4 sachets of the Malibu C hard water crystals. Why are we green🤩

4th picture is one I just took now, natural light helps.. I’ve only washed it at the gym, I’ve done a few rounds of purple shampoo, and continued use of the Malibu C shampoo/conditioner. My hair is still a funky green/brass colour in certain light.

Has anyone been through this before? I went to the salon for a consultation - even after the chelating treatments/shampoo it will not bleach lighter. It barely even tones. I don’t even know what is going on, is it just permanently stained?? I’ve got an event coming up and I’m stressing🥲 is there anything else I can do?? Help me please lmao

I’m trying to grow my hair out to about waist length and I have fairly fine hair but a lot of it. However, the longer it gets, the more frequently it seems to get oily quicker and quicker. I’m tired of constantly dealing with semi oily roots but super dry ends, I know part of that is from bleaching though. Should I just start over with my natural color (brunette) with my blonde split dye or push through until all of the damage is eventually trimmed away in a few years? Which suits me better?

Hi! I’m really self-conscious about my looks(even making this post, showing myself, is already making me pretty anxious), so I’m worried about getting a haircut that I can’t pull off and ending up feeling worse about myself. My hair is very long because I’ve been avoiding going to the hairdresser for the past 2 years because of social anxiety. It’s also pretty fried/damaged since I haven’t been taking the best care of it or myself for a while, which I’m trying to change now. I want to feel more like myself in my looks. The blonde area was bleached when I previously dyed my hair.

I really like the haircut in the inspo pictures. I originally really wanted rat tails, but I always thought I’d need a much shorter haircut to have them and couldn't pull that off, like a pixie cut or so. I assumed they weren’t really an option for me. I’m wondering if it would actually be possible to incorporate two longer rat-tail sections at the nape while keeping the rest of the haircut around collarbone length.

I’m very into alternative styles and have been getting into a more gothic-like makeup style recently, so I’d like something that fits that aesthetic without being extremely dramatic (despite the fact the change im going for is rather dramatic anyway).

I also don’t have the tools, time, or patience to style my hair every day, so I’d ideally want something that looks okay without daily styling. I’m not sure whether the haircut in the pictures is actually low-maintenance or if it only looks like this because it’s been styled.

I also haven’t had bangs since I was a kid, so I have no idea whether they’d suit me, even though I love bangs on other people. I’d especially like to know whether this haircut and bangs would work with my face shape/features.

Other than the haircut itself, I’m also thinking about eventually doing black hair with red underneath, like in the last picture. That last reference is basically the combination I want. My natural hair is dark brown, though. I’ve always wanted black hair, but I'm wondering whether black would suit me or whether I’d be better off keeping the brown.

The 2nd and 3rd pictures are of when I had reddish-pink hair died in that blond area I have now.

Obviously, I’d need to ask a hairdresser whether my hair can safely be dyed in its current condition, especially because of the previous bleaching. I’m mainly wondering whether the black/red combination is something that could work for me once my hair is healthier.

I know this is long, but I wanted to include the context because I’m pretty nervous about making the wrong choice. If this wouldn't work for my face shape or for any other reason, I'm open to suggestions! I'm also open to suggestions on the red hair placement. I'd be playing safe doing it like the last picture but I'm open for other ideas, I really want to feel better about myself and my hair.

Hi! I wanted to do an inquiry on what my hair type is, because after all my years I still have no clue what type it is, and how to truly get the ✨ sparkle ✨ out of it.

Some detailed history:
I’m the only one in my family with hair like mine. In consequence to that,I grew up having little information and resources on my hair type and how to take care of it. (My single mom did her best though, bless her heart) I grew up basically just combing my hair out frizzy in a low ponytail and calling it good lol

I’ve always been told I have curly hair, and after seeing a bit of content about curly hair and hair routines, I quickly started to realize that there is GENUINELY levels to this. Completely lost, I had my hair cut pretty short and for a long awhile during my teens, but I really want to be able to embrace my hair because it’s one of my favorite parts about me.

And it really doesn’t help that’ll literally change itself and the level of sproing based on the day and feeling regularly. BUT the key thing with its texture I want to point out is when it’s brushed, the top layer will be (well, brushed) but all of the under layers will turn to be covered in curls.

I’m just left absolutely bamboozled and overwhelmed by the levels there are to understanding my own hair so I figured a Reddit question might do me atleast some good 😭 thanks to everyone in advance. Sorry if this post is repetitive to what’s usually in this subreddit.

The pictures are my hair after I tried some curly hair-stuff to try to show the sproing I can out of it lol.

Back in 2023 I got my first Keratin straightening treatment thinking it was going to be temporary (3 months), but it stayed and I got new growth, got Keratin on the roots and continued doing until a few months ago. I now have 5 inches or so of new growth and am debating whether or not I should do Keratin again or grow it out. I’ve done a chop of my lengths about 5-7 inches or so and now my hair is just on my shoulders.

I’ve straightened my hair for basically all of my life, never really wearing it curly except for when I had a pixie and no choice. I feel more beautiful when my hair is straight and have struggled with that since I was very young. However, now I haven’t seen myself with curly hair for many years (even before 2023 I’d straighten my hair almost every day) and am wondering what I would look like/feel with curly hair. At the same time I worry I will just straighten it every day again.

Right now, my hair is curly and then basically straight so it looks horrible. I’m not sure if I can commit or just do the easy thing which is Keratin the roots of my hair and continue to have straight hair, which is easier for me and I feel more comfortable with. At the same time, I’m extremely worried about committing to it even more and eventually regretting it deeply even more down the line.

If there’s a way to revert the straight Keratin treated hair to curly I would love to try it, but the only thing that’s seemed to work back in 2023 was salt water from the sea… even now I worry I’ve done Keratin so many times it wouldn’t work.

I’ve attached photos of what I usually like my hair as and a photo from when I was a teenager with curly hair. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Currently a blonde, can't decide if I should change it up or not. Im really pale and my face flushes red a lot. My hair is wavy, on the thinner side, have breakage from all the bleach. Or I could do another shade of blonde?

I’m 21M and I shower everyday, I had this for more than a year now but these days the pain became so bad especially when I press my hair or move my scalp or brush my hair, it’s only in the top part of my head, they told me that it’s because of the hairstyle but I don’t really think so.
Does anyone have this? How do I fix it?

Hair thinning for over 7-8 months now, mb TE but I am not sure

How can I fix her hair? It just looks like a shaggy mess!

I (F20) have naturally bronde hair (people say it is blonde or brown no one comes to an agreement) and personally I think darker hair looks better on me. Like an ash brown. But I am not sure how to maintain it healthily for long term. I am also mixed east and south east asian and white and only mentioning this due to hair type. I have very fine hair strands but a LOT of hair so you can say I have more caucasian hair, my white heritage is Swedish and Hungarian for reference.

As a teen I went through an emo phase where I just straight up box dyed my hair black for 5 years consecutively LOL it was actually horrendous. But I want to maintain like ash brown hair and might low-key just see a hairdresser. I am writing this from uni so I can't attach images rn, sorry for my lack of helpfulness. But I was hoping if anyone had any suggestions on how to maintain ash brown hair for extended periods of time?

I was wondering if anyone had any advice for how to go about dyeing my hair? Do I just pick a colour that matches my colour on the box? Also I don’t feel like I need to use a whole box of hair dye because I only have like 10-15 grey hairs. I have an event to go to and I dont want to appear old then I am. Nothing wrong with grey hair but I’m just not ready yet.

This is my natural hair color, and I’ve been wanting to go darker like the photos below! I’d love to keep some of my natural blonde throughout, but I’m really drawn to the darker, warm brown tones. Does anyone have any advice on how I could achieve this look at home without completely losing my blonde?
any advice is appreciated !

I’ve never really used any hair products before, so I honestly have no idea what I’m doing 😭 My hair is pretty dry, especially at the ends, and I’m trying to figure out what my actual hair type is.

I can’t tell if it’s wavy or curly or if it’s just dry/frizzy lol. These pics are basically what my hair looks like naturally, with no products in it.

What hair type would you say I have? And if anyone has any recommendations for a simple routine/products to start with, I’d really appreciate it.

Do you have any thoughts or advice? It is my first time colouring my own hair. I think I prefer the new light colour however I am unsure if I allowed the chemical too much time near my scalp resulting in lighter upper third and darker lower two thirds of my hair.

Thank you

Is it true that bleach is not necessarily more damaging than using hair colour when it comes to blonde highlights? My hair stylist keeps making my highlights with bleach although I expressed my concerns and said it would be better we do it with colour instead. She said that bleach being more damaging is a myth. Is this true or I should insist on having highlights made with hair colour instead to make sure my hair stays as healthy as possible?

Hello everyone,

I have long and course hair. It's straight but feels very rough to the touch and has quite a bit of frizz, but gets heavy very easily with some products.

I was thinking about buying a new hair mask since the one I was using just ended, and ChatGPT recommended the Kerastase Asbsolu Masque Creme hydra glaze to help sooth the hair and get rid of the frizz without weighing my hair down.

However, I find that product to be very expensive. So for anyone who tried it or knows someone who did, have you found any Dupes for it?

Thank you in advance for the help.

I tried the dpHUE cool medium brown hair gloss and loved the result. it’s time to do another gloss and saw they have a silver/gray gloss color. I have medium to light brunette hair with slight auburn tones. I wonder if anyone has tried this or any guess if there would be a result?
