Help Can i keep my hair healthy while still doing blowouts as a naturally curly hair almost 3a hair? ( read the details)

• Upvotes

So my hair has a lots of damage signs ( +plus i also dyed it multiple times before but not in a wayy lighter color so i didnt use bleach)) and what scared me is that it got chunks of hair being waayy shorter than the rest while i didnt cut it it looks almost like a newgrown but i totally know that its just damaged ( its got a weird texture and i noticed the breakage happening like seeing the hair breaking at the bottom while i touch it ) although it doesn’t fall right from the scalp so its still pretty thick and i managed to heal it a bit but its still not what i want by using the abby young method ( protecting it before the shower with coconut and black seed oil then shampoo twice and use olaplex and a hair mask and conditioning, using bond repair , getting trems, etc ) so im not sure what heat protection should i use now and im thinking of getting the redken 25 benefits, but i feel like its more of a leave in and hydration instead of actually protecting from heat and i saw a video of a stylist saying that ( i wash my hair 1-2 times a week and sometimes i do a curl routine on the first wash of the week then the second a blowout to make it straight and i dont redo it throughout the week because i simply dont have to it doesn’t get ruined but i reallly fear that my hair wont benefit from the care i take of it and would still get worse breakage that i would regret
So please lemme know any tips or worng things i do or if anyone got similar experience or knowledge in haircare at this case ,

And thank u so much for reading 💗💗💗

Bad Haircut My mom chopped a good chunk of my hair.

She kept pushing me and pushing me and said it was for my hairs health and for religion, she made it seem like she was going to just cut split ends but she straight chopped it with kitchen scissors. It was layered with like a v, I was growing it for my wedding in a month.

I feel childish but I don’t want to sacrifice any more length at all. I visioned myself with long hair, I’m scared if I go to the hairstylist it might become medium length. I’m so devastated.

Could somebody please, please be honest with me and tell me if this is salvageable, or like basically what I can do.

The first picture is my hair in June, the rest is after the chop.

Question Booth rental vs chain salon

So right now I work at a chain salon. I've been there for 2 1/2 months, thats how long I've been doing hair... not long I know. I'm thinking of moving to a booth rental. Any thoughts? Should I take the leap of faith and do it? I get paid hourly where I am now so no matter what I'm getting a paycheck. I'm definitely nervous about it but id like to work in a salon that allows me to do be more myself

Discussion Help my postpartum hair!!

My hair is struggling this time around during postpartum. I am losing TONS of hair…it is shocking!!! I remember losing hair with my first but this feels NEVER-ENDING.

My poor hair is not so thick to begin with but it is curly. It is absolutely destroyed right now and incredibly thin. I think there is nothing to “stop” it but I feel like I need to do something. Do I cut it? Do I color it? Are there things I need to take or put in my hair to support hair regrowth. For the love of god someone help me!!

Photos 1-4 are my current situation. Pictures 2&3 are close ups of where my hair loss is the most noticeable. Photo 5 is a picture of my healthy hair before postpartum. Should I get it cut this short again? Would short be okay with my rounder face?? Someone help me lolll.

Question Keratin on layered hair

Post image
7 Upvotes

I have thick hair with layers, but some of my layers are very short. My hair looks fuzzy sometimes, and it really bothers me, therefore im planning to try keratin. I’m worried if i get it done it’s gonna make my layers look unevenly cut or give me a bowl cut shape.
Has anyone with similar haircut tried keratin? How did it turn out?

Help How do I get rid of these little flyaways?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Guys, I’m so tired of these little hairs sticking up everywhere 😭

I sleep with a satin bonnet, use a satin scrunchie, apply hair serum, and keep my hair moisturized, but nothing seems to help. I can’t even tell if it’s frizz or hair breakage.

I also have seborrheic dermatitis, and I wonder if it could be related. The thing is, I don’t want to make my hair greasy just to keep these hairs down.

Has anyone dealt with this and found a solution? What do you do to tame these little hairs without making your hair look oily or weighed down?

I did a spontaneous bleach buzz several months ago (the last image). I've just been trimming the sides and letting the rest grow. I don't style it either, I'm just letting it do what it wants.

I lwk love whatever the hell is happening with it right now, but it's only a few centimeters away from a socially unacceptable poof ball.

Any ideas? I'm open to color suggestions too!

Question Blond to dark temporarily?

1 Upvotes

Is it possible to do? I have dirty blond hair and I was wondering if it’s possible to kind of temporarily dye it black/dark brown, and have it fade into either brown or back to my natural color within some months?

It’s fine if I have black/brown streaks in my hair as it’s fading, or the blond roots come in, but I CANNOT have it turn green or blue or anything “crazy” like that 😭 please help!

EDIT: I don’t really care if my hair will be permanently darker, I just can’t have it turn into some unnatural color

So I went to the salon for a root touch up and my hair is bright red. I wanted copper. The frizzy hair is me right now because I just got out of the shower. The one outside was like 2 hours ago when I walked out. My stylist offered to fix it but I don’t know. I just really hate how intense it is

Question What color suits me best?

I was anywhere from 14-18 in every picture except 1,2, and 10 so let’s all ignore the embarrassing Snapchat filters for the sake of my sanity… My hair has been just about any color you can think of, blonde has been an addiction for a few years now and I keep going back to it despite knowing it isn’t my color. So I think it’s time both find my color and to try something other than muddy brown and questionable blonde. Any suggestions or advice is very appreciated!

Ps. I also dye the under half pink (semi permanent) occasionally when I’m blonde, so if you see remnants that’s why.

Question grey hair at 16...

0 Upvotes

Before anyone says it might be genetic- it's definitely not.
Anyways like the title states, I found grey hairs the other day and I just couldn't stop worrying about it because most people start greying in their mid to late thirties. I heard that stress is a factor and I stress IMMENSELY, but I don't know if that could be the reason because I'm only a teen, so my melanin and collagen levels should be at their peak. I took a general blood test last month and I have no Deffencies at all (they were actually pretty good!!) and no thyroid issues. Anyone know how to reverse this?? Or why it's happening?? I eat very clean!!!
