Could I possibly make a request?

I'm looking for shorter (My hair is only shoulder length.) gyaru and lolita hairstyles that would suit my face shape and I'm having a tough time. Here's my face for reference. Excuse the angle, I can't find a better, non-gross picture.

Sorry, I only have tutorials for long hair. Hopefully some other anons will contribute.

>>6441178
you should check a hairstyle tutorials blog -> littlegaly.tumblr
she has some useful tutorials for both long and short hair

Put my hair up in a sock bun for a dinner event tonight and got a surprising amount of compliments on it. It can look really nice if you do it right and secure loose ends with some bobby pins.

bump request for short hair tutorials in general

Has anyone had success with taking supplements to speed up hair growth? Mine is a few inches shorter than I'd like, and I'm an impatient bitch.

Saw this a few days back - curling hair using a headband.

Looks convenient for people that can't sleep on curlers or on buns.

This just gave me an idea for a hairstyle, after I read that she left it in for church. You could braid your hair and wrap it around your head (or use one of those fake braid bands), then do what she did, leaving it down in the back. I think I'm going to go attempt this.

Is there a name for this particular haircut?

I always use the website rasysa to find cool, unique hairstyles in different lengths. I got tired as fuck looking though white hair magazines because they basically show the same 10 hair styles over and over again barely styled differently.

rasysa has literally thousands of pictures of diffeernt hair styles and actually has interesting options for short hair, curly and straight... not just a fucking pixie cut or a wispy bob..

Guess I'm not the only one who uses rasysa. It's just so thorough, I'm honestly surprised no English sites have even tried to make such a database.

>>6448645
ooh, I like, I like. Thanks for the rec anon.

>>6448645
nthing this, though i'm also fond of kakimoto-arms' older lookbooks.

>>6448645

Auto fix'd.

>>6441133
I always do that, lol.

I recently cut my hair off and I regret it plus I'm having difficulty styling it. It's Helena Bonham Carter esque in texture so I've been doing a lot of pulling it up with clips and putting it into twin tails to avoid the triangle afro look... Any other ideas while I grow it back? Also, what are some good sites for hair clips that have a diverse selection (casual, gothic, cute, elegant, etc) and aren't too expensive? I've been just using fabric flowers because that's all I have at the moment.

These are shitty, everyone can pull up their hair unevenly.

>>6451633
well, i tried it out yesterday. /anon who posted the pic. please keep in mind that i am not the best at doing hair, and that my hair is a good 5 inches shorter than cheesie's. but i tried, because i really want my hair to look like this! guess i'll keep trying till it looks perfect. anyways, maybe this can help you try to do it too.

1. put hair in two pigtails at the top of your head.
2. lightly mist with hairspray and then back comb the pigtails a little for volume.
3. put each pigtail in a loose bun/loop. secure with hair tie.
4. divide the bun/loop in two, so it looks like a bow.
5. take bobby pins and pin down parts of the bun to your head so it can maintain the vague shape of a bow.
6. lightly mist with hairspray to finish.

i have a pic but i don't wanna post it cause 4chan. and it looks really sloppy.

>>6448640
seconded for this, name of hairstyle?

>>6448640

what in the shit is that

I love this so much but I cannot into french braids for some godforsaken reason

I want hair like this. My hair is naturally curly. Am I a fool?

>>6456759
Will you chemically straighten it? If not, then you are.

>>6456760
I get the expensive Japanese thermal straightening done every six months.

I have layered straight white girl hair, but I have a shit ton of it, is there any way I can get permanent loose curls? Has anyone tried getting a digital perm?

>>6444140
I did a slightly more half-assed version of this tutorial and was pretty pleased with my first ever hair bow!

>>6456795
Oh god im natural, and I'm seriously tempted to go back to perms or try out the thermal straightening treatments.

This thread isn't good for my hair

Anything that's possible to do with really wavy mid-length hair? even when I straighten it as much as possible it's still wavy... I can never do any of these pretty styles

Ahhh, it looks super cute. ;_;
I wish I had long hair so bad

>>6451018

coconut oil is good. You can even cook with it.

Also jojoba oil is really close to human oils so it's good as well. I like to mix them up with some vitamin e and some shea butter.

But for a lighter oil leave out the shea.

>>6441178
your dahlia piercings are too cute

i've never had long hair (never below my ears) before but i'm planning to grow it out very long so i can style it cutely.

but i don't know anything about hair care beyond shampoo, conditioner, and combing... is hair oil important for long hair? do you wash with it or leave it in for a time?

sorry for hair-noob questions.

Anybody have tutorials for super curly hair?
Pic related, its my curse. ; ;

Does anyone know how to make curls stay on someone that has naturally straight hair? I've alternated between hairsprays, tried using hairspray prior and even tried putting it on a high heat setting. The curls start to flatten within an hour no matter what. It's depressing.

>>6457553
I have this awkwardly in-between hair, not super straight. In the past it has always been helpful if, right when I release a curl, I gather it up and wait for it to cool off - if a curl falls while it's still hot the heat is virtually useless. So if you just take your time to let each curl cool off you can avoid redoing a lot and damaging your hair with too much heat.

>>6457543
Im so jealous, my bf adores curly hair like yours. Anyways try pic related: Half back

>>6457553
I have stubborn as shit strait hair. It hates to hold a curl.
The only thing that works for me is hot rollers, my hair will always fall flat with an iron no matter what I do to it, even if a professional does it.

>>6457553
can you not roll it while it's damp?

>>6457553

Pretty much this.>>6457556 I've got stubborn straight asian hair. After curling, roll up and pin it to your head. Let it cool completely before taking them down. Also, if you curl on extremely clean, dry hair (as in after an extremely deep cleaning aka baking soda rinse), I find that curls will stay in forever.

My hair is pretty soft, and I've heard that could be a reason why it won't hold a curl. Anyone got any tips? I've tried forgoing conditioner, but it doesn't seem to help with the curl and I just end up with a tangly mess of straightish hair. So I'd rather have some options other than just getting rid of conditioner completely.

>>6457714
no seriously tho have you tried rolling it while it was damp and not taking the rollers out until after your hair is dry

>>6457731
I tried it but my hair didn't dry after one night and I can't go into work with rollers. I'm having trouble figuring out the best dampness ratio.

I've also had my hair curled with an electric curler and a bottle of hairspray. One side of my head stayed in pretty well and the other side fell out after an hour. I had to go to a wedding looking like a lopsided idiot.
