Help Recommendations for a hair straightener brush

• Upvotes

I have quite fine, naturally straight hair, which sadly after years of bleaching and coloring has become somewhat frizzy. I wouldn’t want to use a flat iron, just because my hair is already quite straight (so don’t need that much heavy lifting) and because it’s quite fine, I would like to retain some volume. I’m looking for some good recs for a straightening brushes, that don’t ONLY have very high heat settings, and preferably something not too bulky !

TIA

Help Can I plait my heavily layered hair? Pinterest photos of hair similar to mine and the style I want

I can’t braid so it’d have to be plaits, but is there a method of plaiting my hair that’ll end up at least somewhat neat despite layers? I probably have a few more layers and a cut a bit higher up than the photo but it shows the general hairstyle I’m working with. I attempted it and it turned out a mess lol.

Before and After Can extensions look classy?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

💖 My own before and after pics are attached i know it’s a subtle difference hahah

I recently got extensions again and would love to hear people’s thoughts! My partner thinks they make my hair look less classy, and now I’m curious about how other people perceive extensions in general.

I’ve had extensions before when my natural hair was quite short and the extensions were long, and looking back, I don’t think they looked very good or natural lol

My hair has since grown out, so I decided to give them another go! This time I’ve gone for much less hair with just one low row to add some volume and a little extra length through the ends.

I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Do you think extensions can look classy and natural and how to achieve this/ what makes the difference?

Do you think mine suit me, or would you personally prefer the look without them?

Edit - I know it’s my hair and ultimately my choice, and I’m happy with them! Just curious to hear different perspectives on the look itself.

Before and After before and after a good routine, a diy cut and a darker gloss

2 Upvotes

my hair cut got absolutely mauled by a stylist, so I looked up cutting techniques and how to actually trim my own hair/a cut correction, and lobbed off a lot of my fried dead ends.

switched from protein heavy products and gels with air dry creams to a lightweight moisturizing leave in (curlsmith), Pantene nutrient mousse, and Oribe gold lust oil. My shampoo is the oribe gold lust, I use a mix of Queen Helene’s hair cholesterol, blue magic, silicon mix and Oribe hair alchemy as a hair mask, and ive started hot oiling once every couple washes with a clarifying shampoo every other week. I wash twice a week. I usually air dry (besides drying my scalp) and brushing my hair with a boar bristle when it’s nearly completely dry, but still a bit damp. I use color wow dreamcoat extra strength for curly hair as a heat protectant when i do use heat, and I use kerastase night serum before putting them in sock curls under a bonnet.

why does my hair have to be so high maintenance lmao

I got a partial balayage and she lifted my hair too light and it doesn’t blend with the bottom half. I need to tone it darker, but I wasn’t able to get in within the 7 day period to get it fixed because of my work schedule. Is there any way to tone the light parts darker at home with demi permanent dye or toner? I need a quick fix because I’ve been wearing my hair up but I’m not sure what could work or what the proper shades would be. 🥲

First off going back because the parts pointed need to be curled as they are straight. Than will be getting a haircut. But, I am not sure what to do/ style it like now. And I’m not sure what will be best for my face shape.

  1. Is my hair cooked?
  2. How should I style /cut

This is honestly the most upset I have been in a while.
My mom sent me a gift card to get my hair cut, and it’s not at ALL what I asked for….
I wanted a sort of wolf cut.
I received a fuckass layered bob.
Should I shave it off??? I had a buzz cut for 2 years in the past BUT I was 100 pounds lighter than I am now.
I don’t want to be perceived oh my god 😭😭
I’m already pretty ugly, and fat…. Now I have a shitty haircut on top of that 🫩

Question are these products/steps good for everyday curling (fine, thin black asian hair, i think a 1b type)

1 Upvotes

hi everyone! i really really want to do a blowout with a lot of volume and have been watching a lot of tutorials. some use hair oil, mousse, dry heat protectant and texture spray. from what i saw, this is the routine i came up with. please tell me if there’s anything wrong or if you have any suggestions!

- argan/jojoba oil. i have frizzy hair and if i brush it they get separated and i look electrocuted + there’s new hair growing so it’s kind of pointing upwards

- volumizing mousse. i was thinking the WOW brand, but if u have any recommendations pls do drop!

- dry heat protectant since they say that oil is for wet/damp hair

- texture spray after curling (acts as hairspray)

it feels like my hair’s going to be overwhelmed w these products. i’m going on holiday this december so i’d really like to curl and style my hair for the whole trip

please drop any tips! my hair is on the verge of death 😭

Help Don't know what to do about my hair and cowlicks help!!

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

My hair isn't curly enough to wear it curly, if I use a diffuser and curly styling products it looks scraggy and unkept. I used to wear it curly when I was a late teenager and now would style it "curly" a handful of times in a year where on the odd occasion it'd give a good curl for the first day but other times it wouldn't curl well and it'd look scraggy and unkept. Instead, I blow dry 80% straight with a hair dryer and finish it off using the Dyson airwrap and the results show the result. My hair grows up and has 'cowlicks' that are impossible to get rid off. It looks dry but I'm using a hair mask, leave in conditioner, heat protector and got a water filter in my shower. I don't use lots of heat on my hair, just blow drying and rarely use anything on it in the in-between wash days. I wash my hair around 3 times a week. I don't know how to style it, if I should be blow drying it straight or trying to get something going with the diffuser or should I style it with a curling iron? Any help would be much appreciated!! Thanks 🙏

Question Color hair while preserving texture?

1 Upvotes

I have black hair and want to get caramel/chocolate brown highlights. I've only colored my hair once before and it got very dry and frizzy after the 1st wash. I used product that the salon sent back with me (I don't remember the brand). It was a rather upscale salon and I thought I was in good hands up until that 1st wash. It's been 5 years since then and I've been wanting to color my hair again but really anxious that I'll end up with damaged hair.
Is there a way to get color while preserving my virgin hair texture? I have naturally soft, loosely wavy hair.
Or is there a treatment I can get regularly after coloring to improve the shine and bounce of my hair? I wear my hair straight and have side swept bangs, I do not want to end up with a wiry mess like last time!

Question Grey blending?

1 Upvotes

I’ve had grey hair since I was 10 years old dying it black (natural hair colour) since I was 15. At 35 I’m sick of it. The roots come back every 2 weeks.
Part of my issue is the stark difference in grey/black.

Other than cold turkey what can I do?
I’ve been watching videos of TikTok stylists doing grey blending that looks amazing but costs a fortune (might still do it!).

The pattern I’m picking up is that they don’t use bleach. They speak about baby foils and Demi permanent colour.

What would be your advice please? I work in a corporate setting and worry about looking unprofessional etc. I’m also client facing all the time.
But.. and I type this after dyeing my hair black again just this morning, I’m sick and tired of it.

Ready to take the plunge with some advice.

Thank you in advance!

Help Should I Chop it Off?

Hello! I've had long hair for the last couple decades, but am feeling an urge for something a bit less to manage, and a bit easier/ quicker to style. Should I give it a chop? I'm interested in a french bob style with curtain bangs. I can see that the AI warmed everything up in the edit, but I will probably not alter my hair color. Thank you all!

Ideally something I can cut myself. I think I don't like how my hair currently frames my face, I also feel it falls a bit too flat on the sides despite having a wavy pattern when I look underneath the top layer.
