Fluff I miss hair magazines at the salon

170 Upvotes

Getting my hair trimmed today (finally sitting on it!!). Does anyone else miss the hair fashion/style magazines of the 2000-2010’s at the salon?

I can look up a photo on my phone, but I’m nostalgic for flipping through a non-wedding hair magazine or ultra artistic book on hair while waiting to find a sample image (for me, bangs).

Edit: my stylist did great on bangs, botched my body of hair. We went 3 for 3 on the asymmetry of her one run through on my ends. On the third time standing up and pulling my hair down tightly, I unintentionally reacted and said “wait what the fuck?” When I saw I’d be losing another half inch because of her job. Ends feel suuuuper thick compared to the body, still shedding, no light nice feeling I’m used to after a haircut. Cried in my car and regretted choosing a salon with availability over my average—good person. 😔😔

I usually French braid my hair overnight with hair a little bit damp.

Hair Color: mixture of

  1. Golden Green Light Blonde (Lolane Pixxel) &

  2. Golden Blonde (Garnier)

Slight Highlights Lolane Extra Light Blonde - I usually do it separately like on the next day. In a style of shampooing the outer most of hair

Natural Dye: Lemon

Result: Light Blonde consecutive use but if near the ocean or salty water result is Copper Blonde

Lemon Juice leave on for 30 minutes under the sun,

Natural Dye: Hibiscus Flower

Result: Black

Harvest Flower any color will do, I usually use Red since it's common, Remove the petals then grind the rest til juice come out, Put on dry hair for 10 minutes, it covers gray or white hair

Hair victory Kinda proud how my hair journey is going

First photo was in 2023, second one was my big chop, and then the last one was a few days ago.

Fully virgin hair

I recently started washing almost daily because hair training just wasn't working for me. My hair feels so much better now that I wash it more frequently.

I'm atill looking for a permanent shampoo and conditioner.

I was using the oliplex hair oil but I'm looking for something cheaper that's still good quality.

It's been time for a trim for a month or two now, but I'm holding out until November. Probably going to get an inch or two off just to get rid of split ends and try to get rid of my layers.

I'm also trying to figure out how to enhance the waves without a whole lot of effort. I braid it every night which makes it wavy, but I want to wear my natural waves sometimes without having to spend hours on it. It's wavy in the photo of it being wet, but I think it's just too heavy to hold the wave.

My hair isn't that wavy, but it's enough that I notice.

My hair is finally the length and health I’ve always wanted, but the color I truly hate. I want to get back to my natural color, or as close as possible, but I’m concerned I will have to “fill” the hair first. I know ideally I should just go to the salon but we’re trying to save money right now. Ultimately I will probably just end up doing nothing for fear of ruining it, but hoping I could get some input. My natural color is somewhere between 6-7A/N. It’s a lot of highlights mixed throughout and I have a decent sized patch in the back of my head that’s almost white blonde naturally.

Fluff Longest real hair you’ve seen on someone in real life?

35 Upvotes

Wigs or extensions don’t count!
The longest hair I’ve seen on an adult in real life was tailbone length hair. She was a blonde woman of Swedish descent.
(I also see little kids with long hair a lot, but on adults it’s more impressive).

I usually will twist my hair up then clip it in a somewhat "French twist" but I love having my hair like this as well I just hate how my hair will sit in the middle of the clip like so. Is there any way to fix this?

Or please give me other ways to use a claw clip for my hair! I hate using hair ties and prefer a clip.

THANK YOUUU

Help wanted Foods or supplements that helped your hair grow faster?

I noticed that magnesium glycinate seemed to help with hair growth, since Glycine is an amino acid that goes into keratin which goes into hair. And the magnesium helps absorb the glycine.

I’ve also noticed that on months where I incorporated more eggs into my diet, my hair grew faster than the usual half inch a month.

I’m Not very good at styling my hair. I want that blowout look with movement and curled ends. Part of the problem is I want as easy as can be. I’ve tried everything but I find everything is tricky or hard to do and I don’t ever get a great result. What tools do you swear by for an easy blow out style like this?
