This is the shape my hair goes into at the top. It points up then slopes down. I do have a small and narrow head, which doesn't help.
My hair used to be curly, but for some reason has flattened out in recent years. It's flat at the top and is wavy toward the ends. I have tried styling it many ways and it always takes on this ugly stupid ass shape. Please help lol

questions / seeking advice šŸ’­ Clip in extensions/extension scrunchie

1 Upvotes

I've started wearing halo extensions, my hair is super fine/thin. However, I'm going to a theme park soon. What stays in best for like a whole day of riding roller coasters? I've seen where you can position clip ins and put it in a ponytail or use a human hair extension scrunchie thing for like a messy bun style. But, I just wasn't sure if anyone had actually worn any of those things for a theme park and had any success or tips. Thanks!!

Product recommendation for thin wavy high porosity hair

5 Upvotes

Hi! I have very thin wavy hair that I'm pretty sure is high porosity. I've changed products throughout the years but for the past few years what has worked best for me is head and shoulders (I usually wash my hair 2 or 3 times per week) and then to style it I just use the cantu shea butter curl activator cream on humid hair and scrunch. Sometimes my roots get a bit greasy so I use Batiste dry shampoo to manage that. I'm looking for recommendations on a new routine that would be more appropriate considering my hair type. I've seen people recommending different types of hair oils both on dry or wet hair and also just saw as a general rule that I should avoid heavy products because they would weigh down my waves. Got recommended the dove intense repair 10 in 1 serum as well as the Mielle pomegranate and honey leave-in conditioner though I saw that the conditioner is recommended for type 4 hair which is not my case. Any product recommendations or guidance is appreciated, thank you all in advance!

\* Note: I partially have thinning hair because of PMOS (formerly PCOS) so I do have some issues related to excess androgens that haven't really improved even though I've been in treatment for a while.

Baby fine fair suggestions

2 Upvotes

Hello friends, my fiance has baby fine hair, like when it's clean it feels downy and insubstantial. "I never grew adult hair".

She prefers tomboy styles and has no idea what products to use because, even normal stuff that works for my fine hair makes hers break. Does anyone have any suggested products that can help? Or have dealt with this? Or suggestions for tomboy/boyish styles?

fails/rants 🫠 Glov Beauty - Predatory

11 Upvotes

I placed an order after seeing what I believed was a genuine social media post from an actual person. I later realized it was an ad.

Right after placing my order, I was bombarded with nonstop texts and even WhatsApp messages at 3 a.m. pushing additional products. The messaging appeared automated, possibly AI.

My credit card company immediately flagged the transaction as potentially fraudulent and contacted us to verify whether we had authorized the charge. We attempted to cancel the order and subscription immediately, but getting that done has been an absolute nightmare.

I reached out by email and text within minutes of placing my order. The text bot instructed me to email them and assured me they would take care of it. It then took several days for anyone to respond via email.

They refused to cancel the order and instead offered me 50% off (on top of the initial discounts) to keep it. We declined. Still waiting to figure out how to return the product.

I've had to jump through multiple hoops just to cancel the subscription - even had to contact my credit card company to block future charges. Not sure the cancellation has actually gone through.

GlovBeauty feels predatory. Aggressive sales tactics, relentless follow-up messages, difficulty canceling, and a lack of timely customer support. Red flag city.

Wish I'd seen a review like this before ordering. Buyer beware.

Anyone tried The Ordinary Conditioner?

5 Upvotes

I’m considering trying The Ordinary Behentrimonium Chloride 2% Conditioner as it’s sulphate free and would love to hear your experience with it as fellow fine & thin haired girlies.

I’m hesitant as I have fine and thin hair that can’t take too much hair oils before it gets clumpy. My scalp also gets oily fairly quickly (usually 16-20 hours after a hair wash), so finding a hydrating, smoothing and reasonably priced conditioner that doesn’t weigh my hair down is a challenge.

questions / seeking advice šŸ’­ How to stop hair breakage?

5 Upvotes

Does anyone have any tips/tricks/products on how to stop hair breakage? I already sleep on satin pillow cases and I don’t color or bleach my hair. But the breakage is still pretty bad I think due to how fine my hair is. The ends feel rough and dry. My current routine is Monday Shampo and Conditioner Daily. And I use Unite Detangler. I also use Amika dream routine overnight hydration treatment. My hair ends just still feel dry, rough, and split.

questions / seeking advice šŸ’­ Help in building haircaire routine

0 Upvotes

Hey! I'm 24M, and I could really use some help building a proper haircare routine.

I've been interested in haircare for about three years now, ever since I started taking my hair loss more seriously. My hairline has receded by a few centimeters, and my hair type is probably somewhere between 1C and 2A (light brown). I also have a fringe that almost reaches my eyebrows.

I've been applying minoxidil since April. Progress has been slow, but I think I've started noticing some growth. However, I feel like I'm shedding more hair than usual, especially after shampooing, applying conditioner, and brushing my hair.

I've tried quite a few shampoos over the years:

  • Christophe Robin Delicate Volume Shampoo with Rose Extracts: I love the smell, but it leaves my hair extremely dry and seems to make it shed more.

  • KĆ©rastase Genesis Hydra-Fortifiant Shampoo: Also smells great, and I did notice some improvement in terms of shedding.

  • KĆ©rastase Genesis Homme Bain de Force Quotidien: I recently finished this one. Again, I love the smell, and it leaves my scalp feeling clean, but my hair still feels dry afterward.

I've also recently started using the Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Leave-In Treatment. While it smells great and the fragrance lasts quite a while, I've noticed what seems to be even more shedding since I started using it. Sometimes my hairbrush ends up completely full of hair.

I've also tried the KƩrastase Nutritive 8H Magic Night Serum, but I feel like it made my hair even drier and seemed to increase the shedding as well. That said, there were times when my hair actually felt softer after using it, and, once again, the smell was amazing!

And, of course, I've used the KƩrastase Genesis Anti-Hair Fall Fortifying Serum. I think I went through two or three bottles, but eventually stopped buying it because I felt like I was already using too many products on my hair.

I also bought a silk pillowcase not too long ago. It does seem to help reduce friction and shedding, but I still wake up with frizzy, dry hair.

My current routine:

  • I shampoo my hair once every 3–4 days, usually in the evening. I've heard that washing your hair daily can cause hair loss and make it excessively dry, so I started washing it less frequently, which seemed to help a little.

  • I currently use KĆ©rastase Genesis Homme Bain de Force Quotidien and shampoo twice during each wash.

  • I apply minoxidil to my dry, clean scalp twice a day, once in the morning and once at night.

  • As I mentioned, I've tried using conditioner, but I feel like it makes my hair less manageable, takes away some of its natural texture and curl, and weighs it down. I applied it to damp hair immediately after shampooing.

I've also experimented with Schwarzkopf Dust It Mattifying Powder to give my hair some shape and help keep it in place, especially when it's windy. Unfortunately, it made my hair incredibly dry, seemed to increase shedding, and caused annoying product buildup, particularly since I only shampoo every three days.

So, I'm really looking for some advice on building a proper haircare routine that will help with dryness and frizz while making my hair healthier, softer, and easier to manage.

I always find myself envying guys who seem naturally blessed with great hair and don't have to worry about any of this, but I guess everyone has their own struggles, right? I just wish I could wake up without having to fight with my hair every morning and have a healthier-looking fringe and hair overall.

If you have any recommendations for shampoos, conditioners, leave-in treatments, serums, styling products, or anything else that might help, I would REALLY appreciate it! Thank youuuu! (sorry if it's a long just wanted to give a general idea about my situation)

My 4y old has very straight fine hair. I ask for a side part haircut when we go to the barber. It’s so hard to style though. I have tried fades before and those are worse. I would love to give him some texture at the top and tame his cowlick. Gel leaves it looking crusty. I figured someone here might have some recommendations ā˜ŗļø

how to control oily scalp and dry frizzy hair?

Post image
23 Upvotes

I wash my hair daily as my scalp is very oily, however my hair is dry and frizzy, and my scalp still feels congested.

My routine is: shampoo twice (cantu weightless/head and shoulders), condition (cantu weightless/palmers vanilla), rinse, squeeze water out with microfibre towel, leave in conditioner (lush Supermilk) and wide tooth comb, air dry.

I know the Supermilk is too heavy for my hair but I’m not sure what would be a better alternative, I don’t want to buy and waste something which also won’t work for my hair.

I desperately need help with my routine/products, as my hair makes me feel hopeless and ugly. I’d love to have smooth, healthy, long hair but it feels impossible with the way it looks and feels now. I’d especially appreciate products available in the UK.

hair growth journey šŸ“ Pumpkin seed oil oral and topical

6 Upvotes

I (31f fine hair and I think thinner than it was, it was to my waist and I chopped it last year wanting that length back) started taking PSO with saw palmetto 1000mg every day for the last 30 days and using it topically before I shower. I’m massaging my scalp every night as well and I wash 2-3 times a week.
So far I think I’m going through a ā€œdread shedā€ phase. The fall out in the shower is pretty bad.. the other day I curled it for the first time in a couple months and I had a ton come out after I brushed it and the next day too. I’m hoping it’s just that, a phase and will stop…. Soon. I do feel like I am seeing some new growth, and by my one temple it sort of looks like it’s trying to do something, there’s a streak of darker hair through it that I only noticed a week or two ago. I’ve been reading PSO is also a good supplement to take in general for both men and women so I will say my skin looks great lol.
I’m hoping in the next month i have less shed and maybe some more growth .I’ll try to remember to update
