Brown hair, kinda thick, and tendency to curl, here. Here's my journey : i used to have a pretty short haircut, buzzed on the sides and longer on top, washed my hair on a daily basis, sometimes multiple times per day because of sport. I completely changed how i take care of my hair : it's now way longer and i wash it every two or three days now. It looks way better, I think it's more stylish and healthier. Life changing.

When I started paying for my own haircuts I started going to a rather well respected barber who has worked on hair for films. Now I said fuck ā€œtraditional menā€™s cutsā€ and get a high texture scissor cut and color it obnoxious colors and patterns by my gf I get a blow out every week (only time hair gets washed). Styling product is Kevin Murphy Rough.Rider, I test different hairsprays but I find Oribe texturizing spray to be good if you donā€™t want to be using 3-4 products in the morning. (Slightly wavy Asian hair)

I was already growing mine out when the pandemic hit but wasnā€™t a fan of how it hung. Went back to a pompadour but bleached it and dyed it pink. But bleaching my roots every four weeks or so was taking a toll on my scalp and hair so Iā€™ve let the color come back. If it was cheaper to have done professionally, Iā€™d do that

I had a very short (but not buzzed) non-haircut. In middle school out if some sense of rebellion I stopped having my hair cut. Turns out I had curly hair. Queue 5 years if struggling with various lengths until finally deciding on a sort of long to medium cut. I figured out a semblance of hair care somewhere in the middle of this. Then my stylist quit. I ended up growing it really long because I was too lazy to find a new one. I finally got a new stylist a few months ago, and started doing cg instead of just using leave in.

Itā€™s somewhat popular in Japan. I posted this earlier but itā€™s not clear what the top is

Actually I would say it depends on what you consider "easy". If easy means you don't change any of your habits, don't pay any attention to how much you wash your hair (for exemple you keep washing it a lot), the products you use, etc, then it's easier to have your hair short. If easy means you don't have to go to the hairdresser every two weeks, you don't have to use styling products everyday, but you're ok with using quality shampoo then i would say long hair is easier. In the end it's also really a matter of style. Some people have a face shape or a hair texture that matches better with short hair and for other people it's the opposite. Is the color just a temporary thing or is it really colored ?

I wore an undercut + bun combo during lockdown because I thought it looked cool. It did not, in fact, look cool on me. On the bright side, I learned that I have curly hair while growing out the bun Iā€™ve got kind of a shag now. Thinking of getting a fringe to finish the look

still rocking my undercut + topknot bun that i've been growing since 2017. i've gotten it down such that maintenance is super easy: cut it myself every 1-2 weeks, i'm nopoo so i just give it a water rinse about twice a week. at this point i'm just in it to see how long my hair will get lol. it'll probably reach my belly button by the end of the year.

Been all over the place with my thick and wavy black hair. Had a sort of mild mullet mohawk through most of college, then went with a basic fade to be more 'professional' in my office job. Tried growing it out for a while and then finally about 8 years ago landed on an undercut with longer length on top and haven't looked back.

Aaron šŸā€¢14mo ago
Powder puff is like a volumizing powder, applied at the root it gives you vertical lift. Think Asian side of the head stick out hair type of deal. I use it to reinforce the root area. Rough Rider is a gritty matte paste. Itā€™s a very strong hold without feeling stiff like strong hold hair spray or gel. DooOver is dry shampoo. I use it for next day hair if I had used rough rider the day before

If youā€™re an undercut bro itā€™s not hard to 0 or 2 your sides. Probably go half as often if you do. Use another phone behind you with a ring light and FaceTime the phone so you can line up the back 0 is easy but not everyone is a 0 sides kind of guy

So due to laziness and never really caring about how my hair looked I ended up with this mess for around 13 years. Trimmed it myself, kept it tied up 90% of the time, lost a lot of hair due to poor maintenance. My hair is very fine so keeping it long was a terrible choice

No description
Phileas
Phileasā€¢13mo ago
Not a product recommendation but something that works for me : you can try to wash you hair less often. Washing dries your hair and it can add to this volume effect when you have thick hair, so try to limit you to 2 or 3 shampoos a week.
mewball
mewballā€¢13mo ago
I shampoo maybe once every 2 months fwiw but condition several times a week
Guatemalean Toupee

Oh I think this might be it I shampoo and condition around twice a week, havenā€™t tried only conditioning though
mewball
mewballā€¢13mo ago
Not everyday but yeah Iā€™ll still rinse typically if Iā€™m not cowashing You just need to experiment a bit and learn what works for your hair and see the signs of when it needs what, ie when itā€™s getting too oily and needs a shampoo, when itā€™s too dry and needs a condition, when it looks good and just needs a rinse
Guatemalean Toupee
Guatemalean Toupeeā€¢13mo ago

Carney
Carneyā€¢13mo ago
i typically get a trim every two weeks to clean up the sides/back and thin out the top. 3 weeks if i cant make scheduling work, but after week 2 it starts getting a bit messy. ideally i'd like to go weekly though - i prefer not to make it look so obvious that i just got a haircut, and even at two weeks it's a pretty significant difference. stock photo but this is basically my cut, plus i have thick wavy hair that grows really quickly. i'd assume if you have a different hairstyle you may not need to go as frequently.

I use products everyday You could do a style with a short taper on the side and back up to a scissor cut Leave the top long but taper it shorter towards the back of the head That will eliminate the curling and such at the back and sides but leave you with a style-able look I like the curls though, they look good imo

you have three options, maybe four: - lean into it and shave it off - lean into it with a certain hair style - conceal it with a certain style - try to gain some back via medication or procedure intervention I'm doing #2 and then eventually #1 because I think #4 can be either expensive, ineffective, or both I think most people go for #3 and then #1 or #4 eventually

you can cut off portions to make it look intentional or draw attention away from it that's the whole purpose of the comb over (with the caveat that if it's something like that, it draws attention to it) but it's hard, and there's no "right" answer and because #4 (ultimately all of them, but that one especially) varies in effectiveness from person to person, it can be especially difficult to figure out what works best for you from your perspective immediately

Hey all - have basically had the same hairstyle for the last 10 years, if not my whole life with the exception of the mid 00's shaggy mop craze -- i've been growing it out since mid-August and wondering what next steps might be. Looking at something like the first 3 attached pics. My current hair is in pics 4+5. Mostly curious if I should go for a trim before growing it out a bit more... the sideburns are starting to get a little frizzy as well as the edges and back. Aside from that, any ideas for product to achieve the textured look w/ some hold? I've been using a matte pomade for a bit, but I think it's a little heavy for this longer length

Whatever wash and rinse+treatment you need tbh. The hairsprays are a little on the light side so if you do something where vertical hold matters (already use rough rider) you might want to look into a different hairspray. Stimulate me and with thick again is my go to If you hear style your hair the blow dry stuff is really good. Angel wash is good if you want soft hair. I also really like the scalp spa scrub. When I was peeling from bleaching it was a lifesaver. Felt so nice.

How much do you want to grow it out? If you want it long, there isnā€™t much you can do about the sides and back standing up (if thatā€™s what you meant by frizzy). Embrace hats for a bit But also talk to your stylist about your goals. They might suggest cutting the top a bit for balance, but thatā€™ll depend on how you want to style it
rej
rejā€¢12mo ago
I like the tapered edges of the cuts I posted, but they're both longer than my current hair. Mostly wondering if I should get the edges trimmed and continue growing or grow to length and then cut?
damascusdroid
damascusdroidā€¢12mo ago
Trimming is a good idea to keep the ends healthy, but make sure your stylist knows youā€™re trying to grow it out The inspo pictures you posted look like their sides are blended up into the top. They taper to shorter than your sides are now afaict Iā€™d show them to your stylist. You might be able to have a variant of those cuts now, especially if youā€™re willing to use a matte hold product to slick it back

if you have a good barber, theyā€™ll definitely be able to trim your hair while knowing you want to achieve this look and ultimately grow it out. Iā€™ve found it super helpful to show my barber pics of exactly what i want my hair to look like šŸ™‚ also they can probably recommend styling products too. I personally use a matte pomade like you mentioned, but i hear you on the heaviness of those. wanted to add that sea salt spray can be a good alternative to a heavier pomade but it depends on your hair thickness šŸ™‚

Assuming your hair doesnā€™t get greasy, try washing less often. Maybe skip every other wash. That might help with the flakes For product, it really depends on how much hold and what sort of texture you want And what texture your hair has naturally

Hm Is your conditioner silicone free?
Sal
Salā€¢12mo ago
A common rec for this is also to space out shampooing your hair while conditioning regularly Shamp could be stripping too much oil from your scalp and drying it out, a common cgm method is to cowash (wash + condition) every other day or so while limiting shampoo to once or twice a week
yurt

Or even less frequent
Sal
Salā€¢12mo ago
Ya there's no one size fits all approach, and I took a stepwise method of gradually cutting down on shampoo use To answer the original question, I use a hair wax from sachajuan to style when my hair is on the shorter side Might also recommend using a silicone scalp massager in the shower to manually exfoliate so you don't get as much flake during the day

Looking for some advice regarding my hair and facial hair. Kinda of a weird intro but I want a haircut that gives off a vibe of me, something simple and easy to maintain, but that is presented well, I've been doing my haircuts alone since I was a teen with a trimmer (9mm) and have not seen a barber for almost a decade. As for facial hair I settled recently (last few months) on maintaining a goatee, I don't like my face clean shaven. Would love to know what would work best for me in your opinion
No description
Please Go Away
Please Go Awayā€¢12mo ago
It's a little hard to tell what your hair texture is like at the current length, that'll have a big impact on what will look best. From what I can tell you have a finer hair texture which means it'll probably look best if you grow it out longer and style it to add volume. My best advice is to find a good stylist and work with them to find the right style for you. There will likely need to be some experimentation in your cut and style regimen before you find what you like best. The safest options for men's cuts usually are shorter on sides and longer on top, and then using product to style it and give it direction The other thing I noticed is I think your facial hair would look cleaner if you shaved your cheeks and tried to create sharper lines around your mustache and goatee. I recommend a safety razor if you want defined edges
horizon2.0
horizon2.0ā€¢12mo ago
Yeah I usually shave my cheeks. But what do you mean by sharper lines, might you have some example pictures I could compare? Thanks, I'll have to find a good barber, hope I'll be able to do so soon. And yes I have a straight fine very dark brown hair
Please Go Away
Please Go Awayā€¢12mo ago
Idk if this is necessarily the best example but if you see RDJ's goatee has a very clear edge where it ends and the clean-shaven part begins. That's pretty nitpicky, and I think if you normally shave your cheeks you're fine and don't need to worry about it. If those kinds of sharp edges were something you wanted, then I'd recommend looking at a safety razor.

Have you told your barber that this happens? They might be able to do something different with your cut to make it better? Sometimes when you're growing your hair out you have an awkward intermediate phase.

OxfordKarma
OxfordKarmaā€¢11mo ago
Echoing what Yurt said. If color is important to you, you could consider dying it, but I think the most important thing is that YOU like it. I think it looks great and calling it one type of blonde over another isn't going to change that. You'll always find someone who calls your hair/style/color/whatever something different, but your understanding of yourself is what's paramount

OxfordKarma
OxfordKarmaā€¢11mo ago
I don't have experience with dying/bleaching, personally, but I think it ultimately depends on how much of a change you want. For example, highlights if done properly can brighten up your hair without drastically changing the colour. But if you have a specific colour/shade in mind, it'd likely require a full dye job. I'd recommend finding an example of what your end goal is as a starting point.

I think this haircut looks great! If you like it like this I think you'll be good with this cut. Since you asked for feedback, I would say that my personal preference would be to grow it out a bit longer, especially on the sides. At your next haircut you can ask your barber to go up 1-2 guard sizes from what you did this time, and see how you like that length. As long as it's longer on top and you're styling it properly I think you'll be good What products are you using?

Any suggestions for a styling product suitable for my medium-length wavy/curly hair? I need something offering good hold but also flexible for wavy or straight styles. Currently using 'VO5 MATT CLAY' but it doesn't maintain well as the day progresses or when my hair dries; it tends to get curly. UK based also!

Iā€™ve had my hair long since I left high school. Shortest Iā€™ve had it was just off my shoulders. During the lockdowns it got to its longest around halfway down my back. Iā€™m considering going for a new hairstyle this year as I usually have it tied up in a bun or loop, but I still want to keep it long-ish (I do like the convenience of tying my hair up)
ODE47
ODE47ā€¢10mo ago
From the top to sides the difference is great because it used to be a skin fade quiff so where I part it I usually just part the area where the length is drastically different. But it looks a little weird. Maybe it's just me but is my hair part too high or is there anything else making my hairstyle look weird?

pangram
pangramā€¢10mo ago
if thatā€™s not rhetorical, actually a lot of things. hairstyles that require a lot of maintenance convey meticulousness and rigidity, whereas hair that requires less styling looks dynamic, and a haircut that looks like you let your hair grow out seems casual and laid-back. if youā€™re not vibing with the long hair as it is, you can style it differently (half up/half down, barrettes, a ponytail or a braid, bun or claw clip, etc) and see if any of those gives you hints as to what looks good on your face. the 12pell barbershop instagram also has some useful videos to demonstrate places you could go with the length you currently have if youā€™re interested in a cut
Echo-Ecco.ExE

I shampoo 1-2x a week, co-wash 2-3x a week, and use hair masks/treatments whenever im feeling dry followed by hair oil. That's my routine tho, u kinda have to experiment to find what works for u. Hair oil is not a moisturizer, leave-in conditioner is; hair oil locks in the current moisture of your hair so it is very possible to give yourself dry, oily hair. if you want to keep your hair in place, you're looking for pomade or wax. You're spoiled for options here, and you really can't go wrong by googling "wavy hair wax $__ budget" and reading reviews

Generally most people have a natural parting. If you brush your hair straight back then it's wet, then push it forward a little, you should see a natural parting.

The best way to get a haircut you want is to find a picture of something you like and show it to the hairdresser. There isn't really a shortcut to looking at a lot of pictures of hair to do that, especially if you're picky.

this is a relatively common sentiment. as cdf said reference images will help (they may have a wall of photos too) in getting the look you want but most good bsrbers will be able to interpret what you want into something that's tenable in three dimensions alternatively you could just get a buzz cut and be done with it

Hairdressers. I got medium-length hair and realised only so much my barbers could do. Hairdressers work with longer hair / guys hair. Or a top-notch barber that goes the extra mile / has a good cut. Not a barber barber, but a hair stylist barber....if that makes sense.

mewball
mewballā€¢9mo ago
its kinda one of those needlessly gendered things IMO... but i find those who call themselves hair dressers or hair stylists take it more seriously than self proclaimed barbers, regardless of gender "barber" i think mostly attracts the supercuts type crowd that is looking for a quick, practical cut rather than styling and shaping hair im also biased because the most common place i see "barber" used now is like... new wave stylists geared towards straight men who are too scared to go to a salon. so the chairs are like... big and leather, they give you a beer, etc

carrion
carrionā€¢9mo ago
depends on your goals and how much time and money you're willing to spend tbh. Haircare is like skincare in that you have to tailor your routine specifically to your needs & body if you want to get the most out of it If the shampoo is working tho I'd grab the conditioner and give it a full month to see how your hair really responds to it!
Benji
Benjiā€¢9mo ago
Thank you! Yah my concern has been that I don't condition which I thought you should be doing in general. My shampoo has been effective at keeping away dandruff and not causing other irritation lol

Good! It really does depend on the individual. Like I use shampoo, conditioner, hair masks, hair treatments, and oil because that's just what my hair and scalp needs to really thrive and also I like smelling pretty.

Any tips btw on keeping your hair from getting messed up while you sleep? I feel like I take a lot of extra morning showers just because my hair is messed up when I wake up Or ig fixing it in the morning too lol
carrion
carrionā€¢9mo ago
Having a good hairbrush helps! Silk pillowcases are great for preventing tangles, but aren't super necessary if your hair isn't long. If you'd prefer not to shower in the morning, styling creams/wax/gel, dry shampoo, or sea salt sprays can do the trick. I have shoulder length, 3a hair (loose curls), and I just use a gentle scrunchee or silk hair tie to keep my hair in place while I sleep, and brushing it in the morning if it's tangled.

Fr tho, if you aren't feeling your hair, get it chopped. My hair reached the middle of my back maybe 5(?) years ago, then I got sick of it so I shaved down to a 0 and had a shaved head for a couple years. Now my hair is shoulder length again. It's just hair, if it's causing you pain ya gotta change it for yourself.

I'd recommend at least trying blowdrying if you haven't. The hat might be flattening your hair. I'd be curious to hear recs from people with hair more similar to you but Bumble & Bumble makes a thickening spray and that might work for you. They also have a sea salt spray which I've used and it's good but wasn't what I needed at the time. They sell mini sizes of both at sephora. Either powder or spray will be less stiff

in december, i went to the barber and had my first haircut since i think june and after his cut, i noticed so much hair loss i'm in the northeast of the US, so it's pretty cold but i spend almost all of my time in doors and usually wear a hat that preserves a ton of body heat when outdoors do you think it's because my house's heater? or because im balding? i usually spend most of my time in socal but i've had to return since the start of 2023 im 24 i compared before and after photos of the top of my head and its like it came out of nowhere december (after the haircut) now i guess it was my shortest haircut in a year my dad is bald btw he didn't bald at my age
zeometer
zeometerā€¢9mo ago
in fairness you're comparing four months of growth (oct) to three with pictures that aren't fully vis a vsi how often do you cut your hair how often do you wash/condition your hair
-
-ā€¢9mo ago
so i hadn't cut my hair since December of 2022 (i go to the barber for lineups and stuff, but not actually cutting hair). the first photo you see, is in october of 2023. in december i trimmed down my hair and i noticed hair loss in places i hadn't noticed before when i cut my hair in 2022, it wasn't this bad
zeometer
zeometerā€¢9mo ago
how long between cuts in 2022? i feel like 6 months between full cuts like that may be a little too much time tbh
-
-ā€¢9mo ago
i can't remember but i think probably a year i get line ups and stuff just not reducing my hair length
zeometer
zeometerā€¢9mo ago
if you're not actively trying to get your hair to be a certain length (e.g. afro) it may help to trim it down more often (i usually go monthly and it's helped with some of the receding i started to get in my late 20s) your hair looks like 4C so general advice - shampoo less (1/2x week tops), condition/oil it regularly, wear some form of cover over your hair as you sleep so you lose less moisturing on your pillow
-
-ā€¢9mo ago
do you think im experiencing hair loss, or is it just the cold? i should have brought this up with my derma
zeometer
zeometerā€¢9mo ago
that could be contributing yes that and you're used to a warmer more humid climate i would give it a month before worrying because if it's seasonal hair loss it's just gonna grow back in spring/summer
-
-ā€¢9mo ago
yea
zeometer
zeometerā€¢9mo ago
buy a do-rag to wear while you sleep, get hair oil to put on your head even/especially when you're wearing a cap or beanie so the friction from removing it won't cause breakage
-
-ā€¢9mo ago
tbh my boss is kind of an ass and it's really stressing me out and i've had to take certain kinds of medication associated with hair issues so idk it used to be hard for me to grow an afro when i lived in the northeast before, but after going to college in socal it became easier i didn't think it could cause hairloss my dad is bald though
zeometer
zeometerā€¢9mo ago
managing stress helps, discussing the effectiveness or side effects of medication with a doctor helps both parents' genes contribute to hair growth or hair loss patterns

yea my moms hairline isn't bad but she's a woman aand her brothers are in their 40s and have hair my maternal uncles

there are different forms of hair growth and baldness though if this is the first time this happened and also the first time you've been in the NE for winter and also a particularly stressful time there's too many variables to say conclusively 'you're balding forever' if there's no growth or continued loss after a month then talk to your derma, it might be the start of balding or just buzz it
-
-ā€¢9mo ago
i grew up in NE, i noticed i had issues growing hair compared to in socal my hair looked better than it did in hs in socal and i compared a photo and my hairline is actually stronger than in hs i can tell because there are areas where even after a haircut there is no hair growth at all in my high school hairline, but there is in my older self hairline but i've never noticed hair loss beyond my hairline like this though yea thank you it takes like 8 months to schedule an appointment haha probably like 4-6 months

mew is right, long hair will do that, especially if you're wearing it up most of your day/most of the time.

how do you shape the bangs? mines look cool in the mirror then fall cowlick flat half a hour later
Iceman32

part of it could be how you are styling ie blowdrying and what products you are using and other could just be your natural hair mine tends to fall flat over the course of the day no matter what just because its fine and gets a lot of oil quick

Is "jawn" an indicator that you live in Philly (I recently moved there). But as for the hair, I agree. I started growing my hair out after I left my corporate job in 2016, and the ponytail is so easy, if not the most "dapper." I'm hesitant to cut it off and have to deal with bed hair and such.

doublepluswill
doublepluswillā€¢6mo ago
My hair is stick straight but has always been pretty frizzy on top. The Redkin conditioner tip from mewball worked great for me vs all the others I've tried. My shampoo now is Modern Mammals (one of the non sudsy shampoos). It's the only shampoo I've ever used that really doesn't give me almost any frizz at all, drastically different from any other shampoo I've used. It's v pricey for shampoo but now I just use that plus a bit of oil vs multiple other products I used to use ( which worked inconsistency for frizz anyway) so it all evens out cost wise I think. Went from using shampoo never (due to frizz) to using it every few days with no issues.
mewball
mewballā€¢6mo ago
oooh. okay you are spitting facts. i should just buy nicer shampoo
doublepluswill
doublepluswillā€¢6mo ago
Yeah, I was honestly suprised at how well it works for me. Thought I got suckered by ads, but it is much better than any other (multiple expensive) shampoos I have tried.
mewball
mewballā€¢6mo ago
i am just using drug store stuff cuz i dont use it often but maybe it will fix me
doublepluswill
doublepluswillā€¢6mo ago
Yeah, worth a shot. If you do like it then the big bulk bag thing you can get will probably last me like a year which isn't too bad all costed out. The $30+ single bottle is kinda painful price wise.

A friend has been on Minoxidil for a while and that does work for him. Doesn't work for about half of people.
Benji
Benjiā€¢6mo ago
There's minoxidil as said above and finasteride Minoxidil is over the counter and topical (though some doctors prescribe it in pill form in very small quantities off label). Finasteride is prescription and in pill form. You'd have to consult a doctor for the latter Finasteride has a higher risk of side effects but is more effective. I take it and I don't seem to have any side effects but you'll have to consult the medicine guide and your doctor as that's only my experience. It seems to have halted hair loss for me Those two medications are the only two with both good evidence and FDA approval in the US at least
Krabix
Krabixā€¢6mo ago
That's useful thanks. So you think there's no reason to not try at least minoxidil then I guess?

random info but remember dont buy box bleach from the store but buy salon grade bleach and developer, its cheaper and will lift your hair easier but make sure to read up on how to use salon bleach properly i say always stick w 20 vol developer at most bc i can lift black hair whether it be natural or dyed for a lvl 8 blonde in one round w it

Krabix
Krabixā€¢6mo ago
Awesome hair! Does that have product in? Mines a little like that if I grow it out but not as crazy. I'd have thought growing it longer if you can push through would be an answer because at some point it's own weight will start dragging it down. Finding the right shampoo and conditioner could help. It's either that or cut it much shorter which could look smart and controlled. Whatever you like really, there's a lot of potential
Puck
Puckā€¢6mo ago
Thank you! No product in those pictures. I donā€™t put anything in post-wash. I would have to grow it for at least a year before it started growing downwards (it just keeps expanding outward and upward) and the middle stage is horrible. Thereā€™s a curly hair routine I found online that I want to try and if that works out Iā€™ll try growing it longer. Otherwise I really like the two-block hairstyle (not pictured here).

Puckā€¢6mo ago
The issue with every product Iā€™ve tried is that it weighs my hair down. Positive reviews (ā€œthis one wonā€™t weigh your hair down!ā€) never seem to apply. And in concrete terms this means that I end up looking like Iā€™ve just come out of the shower, with wet hair sticking to my head, for the rest of the day, even if it isnā€™t wet. It just looks bizarre and I canā€™t keep trying new products and throwing them away. The leave-in conditioner and salt spray-type stuff that you can use on dry hair ends up leaving my hair greasy-looking, with frizz here and refined curls there. Something like this (best-case scenario): Youā€™re looking great though
lyon
lyonā€¢6mo ago
i have to wonder if the "won't weigh your hair down!" is related to straighter, lighter hair types yours seems to have a natural curl by default
damb
dambā€¢6mo ago
I hear you on trying products, I've gone to Ulta and got a bunch of small sample size stuff to help me gauge what I like best and landed on "pattern leave in conditioner" I mix it with argan oil and I love it so much
carrion
carrionā€¢6mo ago
Def figure out your curl type and pursue a routine that suits those needs specifically. I don't use leave-in product outside of oils because my hair doesn't respond to it well, but a solid co-wash routine supplemented with the right shampoo and deep moisture hair mask is what works perfectly for me. It can get a bit pricey with specialty products, but that's just curly hair.
Puck
Puckā€¢6mo ago
The routine I can work with, itā€™s just the endless product testing that gets absurdly expensive
carrion
carrionā€¢6mo ago
It really is just finding the right product - thankfully the internet is filled with guides, reviews, and recommendations for most curl types. Way easier to sample products from a small pool of recommendationsšŸ™

Agree with the above. And you do look really good with that hair lol, I know what you mean about the wetness though

myownmosesā€¢6mo ago
Just offering some things Iā€™ve learned as I see lots of people talking about curly hair or shampoo drying their hair out and buying expensive stuff.
Clarifying shampoo ā€” contains sulfates and totally strips everything from your hair leaving it frizzy and dry. Use this once every couple weeks to get of build up. You can literally use dollar general Suave for this. Non-sulfate shampoo I use every couple days. Doesnā€™t have to be expensive. I use Garnier Fructis curl nourish sulfate free. Itā€™s cheap. I either co-wash or just rinse daily. I just use cheap garnier fructis SILICONE-FREE conditioner. A leave-in conditioner helps especially after clarifying but most days I just put some curl gel in there and crunch it soft once it dries. The point is, using the right type of product at the right time does way more for me than using expensive products. Hope it helps! And as I understand, sulfate-free shampoos and silicone-free conditioners arenā€™t necessarily BETTER, but they work in tandem. So either use them both or donā€™t use either. Using sulfates regularly without silicone will dry your hair out big time, and using silicone without sulfates will let it build up like crazy.

He had mentioned it to me in another channel but i got love ur curls for wavy hair. I have fairly poor hair maintenance and iā€™m trying to work on a more healthy hair routine Iā€™ve stopped washing with shampoo everyday and i put some leave in hair cream after my shower which makes it look less frizzy and makes the waves a little wavier
Pierre
Pierreā€¢6mo ago
I've been doing the stuff myownmoses has been saying for a bit, like the CG method, but I am kinda struggling with what to do after, like I already do a bit of argan oil and a leave-in while it dries in microfiber towel but it still gets really big so I will definitely try that and then the next step is gel I guess
yurt
yurtā€¢6mo ago
I used gel when my hair was shorter
s0up
s0upā€¢6mo ago
Looks great, glad it worked for you
myownmoses
myownmosesā€¢6mo ago
Gel nowadays is not the flaky crusty stuff it was in 1999. Even when my hair is longer I still use gelā€”just scrunch it into all my hair. Once it dries it will be a little crispy, but you scrunch it in your hand, and it softens up with no flaking, keeping all the curls intact. Minimal towel contact makes a big difference for me too. I just pat it dry with a microfiber or old T-shirt, apply product and let it air dry. Very annoying in the winter but it works. Oh another game changer for me was a satin (or satin-like) pillowcase. HUGE difference. Actually canā€™t stress this enough. I wake up and my hair is a little matted, but itā€™s not all frizzed from rubbing against the pillow. I spray it with water and bit of dissolved conditioner, tease it back out and Iā€™m good to go for the day. I can go two days between putting my head under the shower like this. (Iā€™m rinsing my hair daily nowadays because itā€™s shorter and Iā€™ve been in the gym more, but with longer hair and the winter this was the secret weapon to keeping my sanity.)

magenta on mid to deep blonde will make hair into a rosy kinda color or just a very like magenta mangenta( as in it has enough blue that the purple tones does show up along w the pink) while fade out on said medium toned(level 6-8 brightness) it ll be a very corally brown like color on very white hair the magenta would fade to a like peony pink color?

then itll be just a very orange yellow you can dye over owh but if you use demi or full on permanent then you want to make sure the next dye color be purple you can do blue but it might go green or ashy brown from any orange tones from staining but i particularly loved magenta back in the day as a color shampoo when i dyed my hair blue instead of fadding green it ll turn silver in that sense too its great for when you get your hair toned and its super green gray then platinum? magenta shampoo will get it that white blonde tone this close to bleaching my whole head again to platinum bc my hair isnt going w my fit or face it goes w the face just not in combination w the fit and its making my face look out of place instead of the hair which is infuriating

i like how the guitar made a comeback sir thats ai idk bout mens haircut but that one famous pic of the old money aesthetic girl yea her hairdo can be replicated in terms of reality so i imagine itd be the same for ai generated mens hair randomly remembering i had heavy bangs for so long bc i hated my face w my forehead and i thought it was bc of my forehead but turns out it was just my eyebrows the point is look in the mirror do you actually like bangs or are your eyebrows making you hate not having bangs

So everyone keeps telling me I need to be washing my hair like once a week or something. But when I go a few days without it, my hair loses all of its volume. I'm conscious of my thinning hair, so I end up washing it every 2 days so it never loses its volume. So how can I maintain its volume in between washes?

idk how much different your hair is to mine, but you might be able to dampen it (with like a spray bottle) and blow it out with a hair drier
s0up
s0upā€¢3mo ago
washing frequency is highly dependent on individual hair along with your lifestyle personally I will only wash with shampoo after strenuous exercise where my hair is soaked in sweat or I know it's dirty from dust, dirt etc aside from that i'll do a conditioner wash most other days
lyon
lyonā€¢3mo ago
iā€™m supposed to be washing every three days but i havenā€™t been doing that well and i can see it in my scalp again orz but iā€™ve also been using a combination of nizoral (anti-dandruff) and then my clarifying shampoo so iā€™ve been doing a deep clean every several days when iā€™m on schedule anyways

What is a normal amount of hair to lose as you run/swoop your hands through your hair? Asking for a friend
Iceman32
Iceman32ā€¢3mo ago
I find with my very fine hair I pretty much have to wash everyday or it gets too flat and greasy
Spuck

Its normal to lose up to 150 hairs a day The longer your hair is the more noticeable it is without actually losing more hair

I do once a day with vanicream anti dandruff shampoo Especially in the summer As someone who gets dandruff
menace
menaceā€¢3mo ago
owh if youre hairs thinning you should totally wash it daily/when scap gets oily bc androgens ans stuff exist in the sebum 100 hairs a day so like when yer shampooing thatd be like a good 10-15 hairs at most bc water and shampooing loosens dead hair from the scalp swooping/combing/blow drying would be anywhere around the same loosing hair aint bad its just the dead hair exiting the scalp before regrowing a new one the rate of regrowth matters so good blood circulation and nutrition is detrimental circulation whether it be from massages or what not or just simply minoxidil

If itā€™s long you can flat iron it. If not I think youā€™d be looking at chemical treatments. But nothing is permanent so eventually youā€™ll just have to embrace the beautiful curls

I had long thick curly hair but never was taught how to take care of it. Now I'm bald. Shave my head completely once every 2-3 weeks.
Puck
Puckā€¢3mo ago
Now that you bring up the maintenance I take back what I said. Nobody taught me how to take care of mine (or what was a normal vs abnormal amount of hair loss) and past a certain length Iā€™d just lose so much hair that Iā€™d go and make it short again. Itā€™s not that easy to take care of longish curly hair.
TMNY

Yeah I usually put it in a pony tail. But it was constantly frizzy and knotty.

In urban Brazil hair moisturiser seems to be a part of people's upbringing, so if you have frizzy hair everyone (=people I met) thinks something is deeply wrong with you Anyway, mine too.
Spuck
Spuckā€¢3mo ago
Yeah I get through so much conditioner to stop the frizz
Puck
Puckā€¢3mo ago
So much leave-in conditioner and hair cream just straightens my hair and robs it of all volume. Mousse works but I hate the resulting texture Like I use normal conditioner with my shampoo but I wouldnā€™t say it makes a huge difference

I mentioned this to digs a while back and you might have tried it before, but as someone with very thick curly/wavy hair that also get's very frizzy. I've had a really good experience with this stuff - https://www.spacenk.com/uk/haircare/styling/hair-cream/complete-air-dry-cream-MUK200033790.html

there are lots of other options, I find it works really well worked into wet hair and then left to air dry. It holds the natural texture of your hair and leaves it feeling smooth but without feeling like you have product in it

Idk who lied to you but curls won't make you look fatter Best thing you can do is figure out your curl type, try out some products made for your curls, and consult with a stylist on styles that will fit you, and what the maintenance routine will look like to determine if it'll suit your lifestyle.

Fistful of conditioner after shampooing, light scrunch dry with a towel leaving hair pretty wet, big glob of Not Your Motherā€™s curls for days curl cream, bit of Uncle Funkyā€™s Daughter curly magic gel on top, work in product and sloppily define curls (just twirling with my fingers the parts that sometime donā€™t cooperate), plop everything into a satin sleeping cap and go to sleep
Hawk
Hawkā€¢3mo ago
Hey yall! I hope it's cool if I ask in here, but I was wondering about if this hair routine idea is a good idea. I have very fine blonde hair that just really wants to lay in my face and has a tendancy to get kind of greasy, so I've been trying some stuff out. I have been using some hair clay for a little while, and it works ok, but I've found that it doesn't want to hold throughout the day and doesn't give it the texture I want if that makes sense. I've been kind of looking into sea salt spray and thickening tonic stuff to try out and experiment a bit with, can you do multiple things like that? And if so what is good to mix together? Also, for the sea salt spray does the brand really matter? I saw a few things on reddit suggesting that it doesn't and to just go with the cheapest which seems to be the "Not Your Mother's Spray" And then for hair clay I was thinking of trying something different like potentially the "Brickell Styling Clay"
Iceman32
Iceman32ā€¢3mo ago
Iā€™ve used cheap ass spray and expensive and outside of how well the bottle sprays it, I canā€™t really tell the difference. Will say clay could be adding a lot of weight to your hair making it easier to fall into your face, I swapped to a styling cream after a certain length for my hair which is similar to yours but try products and eventually youā€™ll find one that works
goofus
goofusā€¢3mo ago
I have to try the overnight cap, and also learn how to define the curls Right now it's either too much gel and my hair is more tendril-y and not enough gel and it gets frizzy
plyisytwy

I really like this uncle funkyā€™s daughter curly magic, if i use too much it softens up pretty easily just by running my fingers through. Ymmv of course

Going travelling for a month between jobs from next week and Iā€™m considering buzzing my hair for ease (and also I guess for the thrill of a radical change?) - Iā€™ve been rocking a long-curly-top + fade for years now. Iā€™m worried my hairline is receding a little too much to make it work? Any thoughts?

welp i fucked around and found out good blonde bits but the darker untouched parts are not ginger when i had a buzz (to the skin) i started to shape and fill my brows in which tied in my face to the buzz cut and to the skin you really dont gotta worry bout a receding or squiggly hairline and when hair started growing back and the squiggliness of my hairline was (on me) was unflatteringly unkept looking, i them proceeded to use said brow pencil on to the empty bits that made it look squidly that and shave some bits off too if you go thru with and heed my eyebrow thing

the moustache definitely takes the edge off of the hyper-masc i think. also i donā€™t think the receding hairline has botched the style for you yet personally.

Itā€™s me, the answer is dry shampoo Matte clay also works well for a bit of hold without the oily look some things give But a little bit of dry shampoo and Iā€™m good for every other day unless I sweat a ton
ViewtifulSam
ViewtifulSamā€¢2w ago
Yea matte clay is great and sometimes I can go through a good part of the next day if thatā€™s in my hair and sometimes I use dry shampoo but I feel like thatā€™s not good for my scalp so I try to avoid using it and rather just wash my hair again

Iā€™m not sure Iā€™m looking for one too. Iā€™ve kinda noticed Iā€™m thinning/ receding. It it could be all the stress these past few years of my life lol. Iā€™m doing better now and I feel like my hair is getting healthier. That said I feel like the texture has changed and matte products donā€™t work as well as they used too. I bought an expensive salon clay but the paste I got from Walgreens is working better for me.

Anyone have suggestions for keeping longer hair out of face during workouts? I tried some wire headbands but they donā€™t hold very well and hats get very sweaty

standard stretch headbands have generally done the trick for me. when my hair was long enough iā€™d tie it in a bun, and that worked for most things other than movements that required lying flat on my back (bench press mainly)

Been through a few different looks over the years, while having great beard genetics I didnā€™t grow my first one until 30 on recommendation from a barber. Overall I do like the shorter cuts. Itā€™s thinning quite a bit on top especially when compared to the sides and if it grows out, the contrast is, imo, quite noticeable. Welcome to thoughts/opinions on new things to try or keep before I just accept that a faded buzz is the only way to go and then I can lean into fun hats
