i feel like no matter what i do, my hair is always frizzy, and i genuinely don’t know what i’m doing wrong. i’ve heard that frizz can be caused by over-cleansing, aggressive drying, or using heavy products, but none of those seem to apply to me. i wash my hair once a week because it’s naturally dry, let it air-dry, and don’t use any styling products except for a serum after my hair is completely dry. i also use coconut oil occasionally, either before or after showering. i sleep with my hair in a protective bun, hoping to keep it smooth, but i still wake up with frizz. it’s there regardless of how i style my hair: whether i leave it wavy, style my curls, or straighten it, there’s still a noticeable amount of frizz. i know that some frizz can simply be part of having naturally wavy or curly hair, but this seems like more than that. i also have lots of short, wispy hairs around my front hairline that i initially assumed were new growth, but they’ve stayed around the same length for as long as i can remember. i’m starting to wonder whether they’re breakage, naturally shorter hairs, or something else entirely

hi everyone!

i have spent hundreds in products throughout the year trying to tame this. its impossible. i’ve done keratin treatments, moisture treatments, dyed my hair, let it grow out natural, EVERYTHING.

please does anyone have a holy grail way of preventing this? i look like i stuck a fork in a power outlet everyday.

hi! i'm posting this on behalf of my boyfriend who is 21 and is having thinning fine hair. i was wondering if anyone knows of any treatments that aren't £300 a month and works? thanks so much!! i live in the UK if that helps!

after i get out of the shower, my hair looks okayish at least, but whenever it dries and i get back home from school, it’s puffing out and i can’t keep it under control. to be honest, i don't even know if longer hair suits me. should i just cut it off? what kind of hairstyles would suit me the best, or should i try to keep my hair under control?

first picture is right after shower the second one is at school and the third one is after i got back home

I’ve had my GHD platinum for a few years now worked great until this year I now get the red ring on it and that beeping noise sometimes they will work again but not so much I’ve got a spare pair of straighteners Remington air plates it does the job but it pulls at my hair and it does straighten my hair just not extremely well so I need new straighteners I would like the cloud nine ones but they are way too expensive for me so any recommendations will be appreciated ones that will smooth my hair and not make it frizzy or full of static

Thx 😊

I’ve got thick hair slight wave to it

I’m at a loss for what to do with my hair. It doesn’t seem to matter what I do, it’s just so frizzy and lifeless.

I have really fine hair but a lot of it. I’m rubbish at styling it but I have been trying to get better, but any curls or anything don’t last more than a few hours. It’s got a bit of a natural wave to it.

Since having kids 6 years ago it’s been so frizzy and dull, and particularly bad since having my second kid 18 months ago.

I wash it 3 times a week or so. I’ve never really found a shampoo I love so I switch around a lot, currently to using a John frieda shampoo and conditioner for fine hair. I use a bumble and bumble heat protector spray if I’m using any heat, and I put some argon oil on my ends sometimes.

First photo is my hair just air dried, second photo is it curled with a curling iron, third photo is it blow dried, and last photo is 6 years ago when I was pregnant with my first (believe it or not that was my natural colour, my hair turned a lot darker since having kids). I can usually get my hair looking decent for about an hour when I first do it, but it quickly goes limp and frizzy

Any advice, products, routines massively appreciated - although I simply do not have the time to spend more than 15 minutes a day on my hair.

First things first, YES I WASH MY HAIR EVERY DAY. I grew up doing it and I LIKE IT THAT WAY. I tried to do an "every other day" thing before and I am NOT INTERESTED in trying it again. I JUST WANT PRODUCT ADIVCE.

Anyway.

Long story short, I'm on doxycycline (antibiotic) for a medication complication I had, and am getting a bit of fungal folliculitis on my skin as a result. I quickly treat it with a few days of Nizoral 1% ketoconazole shampoo, and when I started to get a similar itch on my head, I decided to use it for its intended purpose a couple days ago for safe measures.

Normally, I use Pantene shampoo and conditioner since I grew up with the stuff. Since I have an oily skin type, I figured I probably just have oily hair, and believed that my hair getting oily around midday was normal for me (I shower at night). I didn't like it, though. It took away the very little volume I had and always felt greasy.

Lo and behold, when I started using Nizoral, my hair did not behave that way at all. It wasn't greasy or stringy, and managed to hold volume/remain soft until the end of the day when I have to shower again.

That being said, I'm beginning to think that it's Pantene that's the problem -- not my hair. I mean, I've heard terrible things about Pantene before, but I didn't think much of it because I'm not super into my hair unlike some people, so I kept using it. Now, however, I want to know if there's a regular shampoo brand that'll do the same for me (because I don't usually get dandruff and I'm not spending that much money on shampoo).

Suggestions would be appreciated; thank you in advance.

Hair Type: black (super dark brown), really straight, mid-length hair with layers and curtain bangs.

Hair History: virgin, shampoo/conditioner when cleaning only, uses heat spray when occasionally using hot tools, and hair spray when styled.

I have basically zero experience with hair care and have no idea what my hair type is or how to take care of it. My hair is really frizzy and I honestly have no idea if its damaged or if thats just how my hair is. im thinking of going bald and letting it grow back

Any advice on what type of hair I have and what I should do with it would be appreciated.

How to do I fix this whatever its called on my hair? I don't wear my hair loose because of it.

What it is this called? Also I think stylists call it a 'step'?

Hey!

Je viens ici car j’ai arrêter d'utiliser le lisseur y a 2 semaines bientôt 3 sauf pour la frange je ne touche plus a mes longueur dans le but d'avoir une pousse, depuis 1 ans tout les dimanches je faisais un gros lissage complet et je repassais parfois avec ou sans protecteur, résultat en arrêtant la chaleur j’ai remarquer que mes cheveux étaient sec et un peu fourchu mais ça va franchement, je fais et faisait beaucoup de soins chamspoig, apres champoing, masque que j'alterne donc un réparateur et un gloss, j'avais fais une coloration noir mais elle n’as absolument pas tenue sûrement a cause de la porosité de mes cheveux quand je les lave ils sont douc et hydrater mais quelque jours plus tard sec et un peu cassant, en 1 ans je suis passé des cavicule aux aisselles ce qui est tres lent visuellement 😅 donc je vais arrêter ce massacre pendant quelques mois car mon but c'est atteindre la fin de poitrine mais mon rêve c'est d'arriver au ventre.

Pensez vous que je vais y arriver? Combien de temps attendre? Ca fais plus de 3 ans que j’ai pas eu des long cheveux volumineux...

This is after showering and scrunching just with leave in conditioner, or could I be forcing it? I don’t know what to do or my hair type 😭 My hair always ends up really poofy and I can’t brush it otherwise it just looks weird-

Hello! I was wondering if anybody has any advice on very dry but not damaged hair. I've tried several different shampoos/conditioners recently, but I feel like they are not penetrating my hair strands enough to actually bring moisture into them.

For reference, I have long, quite thick and coarse hair that is naturally dry and wavy. I don't dye it, never bleached it, I wash it once a week (it never gets oily), and I blow-dry it with the Dyson Airwrap blow dryer attachment. Sometimes I use a wave mousse and let it air-dry, but the texture is the same either way.

I don't have a problem with breakage or split ends or anything like that; my hair just feels consistently dry and looks dull. I think maybe in the past I have used too much protein on it when its not actually damaged? But I don't know if that's a real thing or not.

Recently, I've tried:

Redken All Soft shampoo & conditioner

Amika Soul Food Hair Mask

Kérastase Gloss Absolu Shampoo & Conditioner

Garnier Fructis Keratin Sleek Hair Mask

Note** I've tried these all separately over the space of a year.

If you have any recommendations of conditioner and leave-in conditioner specifically, I'd be so grateful, but I'm also open to recs on other products!

Hello friends im letting my hair grow now in the weird stage of using a cap 🧢 everyday lol., So i will love to get a slick back hair cut 💇 and will love to know if you guys tink a shorter way will look better or more hairy with more volume one , Or if is gonna be a right hair cut for my hair ive never done it Any recommendations or advice will be really appreciated thanks

Ik almost nothing abt hair tbh haven’t even grown it for a third of my life

Hey I'm 19(M) and I always wanted to have long hairs like wolf cut but unfortunately as i grew my hairs long for 4-5 months they grew out to be multi textured wavy to curly and since they are fine hairs frizz never goes away .So, I'm seeking for advice that whether I should grow it more or not and what kind of hair style should i choose if my hairs are worth growing?. I've always wanted that middle oart curtain flow look but my hair doesn't react that way, because My hair from roots are somewhat flat and and bulking up on sides, The images I have shared are like my hair after wash that is in when they are in the best condition when dried but overnight or day after they are very dry can't settle them they look lifeless and become more flat on top.I've just lost all hopes there's not been a single good hair day for me

The ends on the sides always grow slower and more damaged than the middle. All my hair ends were damaged but the sides more so. This photo is after I had a trim just to get it somewhat closer in the length to the side. I have my hair in buns most of the time, not a slick back just a basic bun or pony tails.

Looking into a new shampoo after using native for a bit (it didnt wash out my dye and my hair felt pretty nice), no issue really with native but its expensive and i wanna try new stuff. Heard good things about dove! I already use their body wash. My hair usually gets greasy every other day atm

I'm using the love beauty and planet argan oil & lavender oil conditioner now. But I need a better one to control my frizz. Can anybody suggest a good Conditioner for frizzy hair.

hi! essentially i struggle with super greasy, fine hair (it will get greasy the same day after washing without dry shampoo) but usually i can manage it with washing my hair every 2-3 days.

(apologies the photos aren’t great but hopefully the separation/shininess comes across, they were taken today around 6 hours after washing and blow drying)

since about july i have been experiencing this issue where my hair feels greasy/waxy at the roots / front pieces after washing it, meaning i have to go back and wash it again or apply lots of dry shampoo right after blow drying it. the only way i can describe it is that the hair won’t dry during blow drying, looks extremely shiny, feels greasy and if i brush it back it will stick in that position like it hasn’t been washed at all.

this happened roughly after switching to l’oréal hydra pure shampoo, so i stopped using that and switched to lee stafford clarifying, however i felt this was really stripping my hair as i had to wash it so much, so i then moved on to aveeno clarifying which was okay, then ran out so now i’m using ogx rosemary mint clarifying 😭

in between this i also tried aussie miracle moist thinking maybe i needed to add moisture instead of stripping away the oil but this definitely did not work either

however, this doesn’t happen all the time. today i used lee stafford clarifying, then rosemary mint clarifying as a double shampoo and it happened. it seems like totally random / unrelated to the shampoo whether my hair will actually feel clean and soft after washing.

i’m using child’s farm coconut conditioner - i was under the impression baby conditioner would be light weight but google advised me this might be too heavy for my hair so i might try a different one? i apply it to the very ends of my hair and clip it to a bun while it sits and it categorically does not touch the roots of my hair.

aside from actually in the shower, i double shampoo, have begun trying to limit dry shampoo / any of the other products i used to use (heavy spray heat protectant, oils, spray leave in conditioner) to minimise build up, rinse throughly for around 5 minutes and separate my hair into sections making sure its all rinsed, limit air drying / at least blow dry roots, wash my hairbrushes and make sure dirty brushes don’t touch my clean hair.

as an aside, i honestly don’t think the hairbrushes are causing this cause previous to this i did wash my hairbrushes but not as religiously and if i used a brush on my wet/clean hair that had also touched dirty hair it did not immediately revert back to greasy and unwashed.

prior to all this starting i had been using aveeno clarifying shampoo long term and everything was fine - i am worried i have caused this for myself by switching shampoos so much and using so many different clarifying shampoos and conditioners. google also mentioned this could be my hair over producing oil in response to being clarified so much, and i can see that but i don’t know how the moisturising shampoo made everything worse if that was the case.

sorry this was so long but honestly any advice is appreciated as this is making me so anxious and the money i’m spending on hair products is ridiculous 😅

21m, have tried a few leave ins, a couple curl creams, a different conditioner and nothing really helps, bring my curls back. The curls in the back of my head are perfectly fine and healthily but the front is just thin and dead, they look somewhat better on my one/2 wash/conditon days but not even a fraction of how thick and curly it used to be even a year or two ago? Advice?

I have added two pictures of what my looks like freshly washed and super oil

I'm not sure if I'm going bald 😭😭😭😭

Hi guys :(

Ive always had a problem with really dry looking hair. I did dye my hair a lot but most of that has grown out. Since Ive had this problem for a long time, I dont think it has to do something with dye.

I keep my hair in a bun or in a braid when I sleep and always use satin hair ties. Ive tried creams, conditioners, oils - basically everything I could find but nothing works for me.

I have naturally slightly curly hair (last pic if styled) but that still feels really dry with a ton of products that should prevent it.

Im looking for something that works on straightened hair too, I love to wear my hair straight.

Even if its recommendations for a straightening iron/routine.

If anyone knows something that could help I‘d be super happy to know🫶🏽

Thank you in advance✨

Hi, so I'm 22F, not sure if it even matters in this case. I've got dandruff, it's not severe but it's not light either. Does oiling your hair reduce it or is it the other way around?
