i'll be here for awhile, if anyone has questions i'll be happy to answer to the best of my ability.

on the topic of hair though- i got a trolly for my equipment for christmas and i am so happy ~

>>6508257

I recently bleached the fuck out of my hair and whilst the condition is decent, a bit of brassiness still remains.

I've been washing my hair regularly with silver shampoo, but it really isn't changing a thing. My sister recommended that I try leaving the silver shampoo on for 30 minutes to an hour underneath some clingfilm and then washing it out.

Is this a good idea or not?

Dumping pretty hairs.

Nice!

>>6508266
get it slightly damp, but not wet, and apply the shampoo similarly to hair color. except you can do it with your hands, no need for a bowl and brush. like section by section apply it and later it up slightly. just pack it in your hair, the more the better. leave it on for as long as you want. after the first like 20minutes check it every so often, 5-10minutes.

>>6508267

>>6508288
hahaha
this is my friend

her hair is all extensions like mine

>>6508297

Hi.

>>6508299

Why do you have your trip off

>>6508302

Because I want to be able to learn more about haircare without some tard barging in and derailing the thread with a spoony hate campaign.

>>6508296

Unf. Does she have a Tumblr or something?
Also, Merry Christmas <3

>>6508304

>>6508306

Shut the fuck up, slag

>>6508305

>>6508304
Spoony why do you live in the UK and not in my apartment?

>>6508307

That's not relevant to hair.

>>6508304
yeah she does
but she rarely uses it now, between school and working 2 jobs and her annoying ass BF who needs to fuck off she just doesn't have much time
(i'm mad right now because she's legit only 6 hours away from me and i can't go see her because of his fucking family)
lemme find it

>>6508304
wow, i found that a lot faster than i thought it would

it's because you need another bleaching, that's why. If the yellow can't be taken out by violet shampoo or proper toner you haven't bleached enough. That saying, don't bleach for about a month or so and stop washing your hair so much. Only wash it once or twice a week (Depending on dryness) and use a hair masque 2 twice a week (preferably after your shampoo). Easy on the heat styling. Dry your hair on cool or luke warm, flat iron or curl on low heat. When you do this you will KEEP the quality of your hair when you go bleach it again in another month. Bleach once, maybe twice more (waiting minimum a month inbetween) use a toner or violet shamboo to take the brass out. Try also using Manic Panic vigin snow, it is an amazing violet dye that is harmless to your hair, makes it soft fluffy and will take out all brazzyness.

>>6508368

Aaaaand, I'm done.

>>6508371

Well, the thing is, I didn't bleach my hair to white.
My hair was black, and I wanted to go back to my natural colour, so I stripped it and bleached it a few times until it was light enough to put a medium ash blonde on top; which is my natural colour.

Even after putting the medium ash blonde on though there's still a bit of an orangey, brassy hue to it that's particularly obvious in sunlight.

I'm using the silver shampoo to get rid of it, but it's not working.

>>6508371
>If the yellow can't be taken out by violet shampoo or proper toner you haven't bleached enough
absolutely not true. it doesn't matter what stage of blonde your hair is, violet shampoo can always take the brassiness out unless it's got certain things in it- like box color. in which case nothing will ever make it not yellow.

>Try also using Manic Panic vigin snow
only people who don't know what they're doing recommend Manic Panic. even people who have unnatural colored hair don't use it because it's just bad product.

>>6508381
ohhhh
oh

well, in that case, i recommend you go to a professional. silver shampoo wont help you here.
what you'll need is a "soap cap", followed by a corrective toner. it's not easy to do on your own and honestly the products you can get in person without a license wont be good enough anyway.
plus, since i don't know exactly how orange tinted you are i can't really say which toner to buy to cancel it out.

Can anyone recommend a good hair serum? I have fairly thick curly-wavy hair that I would like to enhance with a curling iron/deep wave iron (which I've had but never really used) and know that using a serum will help protect my hair but no idea where to start.

>>6508458
Paul Mitchell just released a curl line and it's amazing, there is a leave in conditioner that would be perfect for what you want.

i would recommend getting all three products, though. there is the leave in treatment, curl definer, and shampoo. i have seen people switch of other curl lines to Paul Mitchell's and it's just beautiful, like so much less frizzy. the curls look like they're done with a hot iron instead of natural from how little frizz there is.

paulmitchell . com / en-us / Products / PaulMitchell / Curls / Pages / Home . aspx

>>6508474
OH MAN HE HAS A CRUNCH-FREE CURL DEFINER. I have been looking for this forever. My favorite drugstore brand of curling gel got discontinued and it was so simple. I just put it in my hair after washing it and my hair curled wonderfully and was frizz-free (even my mother was surprised.) His shampoo is sulfate free too and I do have to say that once I went sulfate free, my hair has been much nicer (the only sulfate shampoo I use anymore is head&shoulders because of now small dry scalp issues. And not even that often anymore.) I'll definitely look into this, thanks!

>>6508485
head and shoulders doesn't actually fix your problem, it masks it. literally.

what it does is coat your scalp in waxy product so the dry skin can't flake off- so if you switch to PM don't be surprised when your scalp flakes like a mother. not only is it getting the wax off, but all the dead skin that hasn't been able to flake off will come off as well. i'd wash it 3 times your first wash, just focusing 100% on the scalp to get as much off as you can.

>>6508492
not that anon but could you recommend a shampoo/conditioner for flakes that doesn't just mask it?
i've had problems with it for ages and most shampoos I try just mask it, so I end up bound to shitty shampoos

Can there be some no bang hairstlyes?

>>6508496
Paul Mitchell has a moisture conditioner that would combo well with your Curl Shampoo.

also, using a cleansing shampoo once or twice a week if you use a lot of hair spray will also really help, Paul Mitchell's Shampoo Two is lovely. a bit minty, tingly, it removes all excess product build up from your hair.

>>6508496
oh sorry you said not the same anon

i still recommend the Moisture line and Shampoo Two, but i think Redken's dandruff shampoo and conditioner is really good as well, like if you more have flakes and not really dry scalp. my little brother uses it and he has almost no flakes in his hair anymore, like he would have none if he just bathed every other day instead of every 4. boys will be boys, i guess.
ahah

>>6508492
I only use H&S when I'm at home, and use it mostly to get rid of it. The shampoos I brought with me to college are both organic (Renpure and African Black Soap) and haven't had flakes at all. Oh and I switched to the organic brands at least a year ago.

I do get what you're saying though, but whatever the issue was with my scalp was, it went away from using H&S. I will say it dry the fuck out of my hair after awhile. But I have Normal to Oily hair anyway.

>>6508505
yeah, i mean, it's not awful. but if you're blonde or ever want to be blonde/get a perm/relaxer it will literally ruin your hair.

>>6508501
I think a lot of these styles could be done without bangs, but I'll dump what I have.

>>6508508
Thank you, I appreciate your help

>>6508507
South Asian! My hair is as black as you can get without resorting to a bottle. I don't plan to strip it and potentially ruin it. If I ever want to be blonde I'll get a wig.

>>6508509
NP. I'm growing my own bangs out right now to. I'm not sure if i want to go back to them...

>>6508511

can someone recommend some really short cute hairstyles for round faces? I know what color I want, but not style.

Any tips for insanely thick Hermione type hair?
I know it can look good, but doing it myself is a pain and getting it done professionally takes 3+ hours usually, I have that much hair.

Looking for product recommendations as I'm not looking to cut my hair or anything.

pic related, it's sort of similar to what my hair looks like except bangs are cut bluntly across.

>>6508514

I have a big round moon face too.

I've been told blunt Lolita bangs will look awful on me. So sad. :(

>>6508526
what are you trying to achieve? what do you get done when you get it done professionally? what do you do at home yourself?

>>6508532
Well, that sort of depends. If you get blunt cut bangs it will widen your face (and nose... or at least I feel it tends to) but if you have it cut with sides that frame your face it will lessen it and elongate your face a bit. Main thing is to not have them cut too far to either side.

>>6508382
not the anon you were responding to Spooky, but you have the worst cosmetic advice and this is coming from an anon that does this as a carrear. I was in a thread earlier about hair care and some of the shit you guys spew as "advice" is particularly terrible. Ladies, go to a professional for advice. Makeup techniques here are pretty good, but when it comes to taking care of yourself these are not the people to be asking.

I'm struggling with what I want to do with my hair because my hair is really awful.

Here's a picture of my face. I didn't shoop my face shape, just my features like my nose etc. Unfortunately I don't have an unshopped picture on this computer.

Can anybody recommend a hairstyle that will suit my face? My hair is (The hair in the image is a wig.) very curly, but I don't mind if the styles require a lot of straightening or whatever.
(cont.)

>>6508381
your hair is still this brassy because you haven't lifted all of the black out of it yet. Your black partially lifted which left patches of it orange. Hair is stubborn, so even if you apply it all over some spots will lift easily and other spots will not. What spoony said about violet, silver shampoo, toner, dye being enough is wrong. If you do not lift all of the black and remaining color out it will stay orange. You need to see a professional to get these spots lifted. If you do too much at once, I have to worn you, it will destroy your hair. Make sure you are using a protein shampoo during this process and try not to use too many heat or damaging product.

>>6508550

And here are the styles I've been considering. The third and fourth are my favourites.

>>6508546
if you disagree with my advice give your own, i give advice based on what i've learned and my personal experiences.
i'm not out of school yet, that's true. but i've worked in salons, on runway shows, theater, charities, and out of my home for over 5 years now.

>>6508535
I just want a simpler way to get rid of all the volume. Usually just getting it dried in curlers then getting it flat ironed makes it look normal, but that takes ages, whether it's at home or at a salon. I was just wondering if there was some sort of hair product that is the opposite of volumizing, because it's not really frizzy, it's just all this damn hair.
Sorry if that's not enough info, i'm trying to find a before/ after example.

>>6508554
>>6508550
Another picture of your face would really help, since it's sorta hard to tell what type of face you have.
You look like you have a round face though..

>>6508554
Have you tried shooping those styles onto your face to see how it looks? 2 and 4 are rather similar and are the ones I'm most drawn to for your face, I only wonder if they may make your face rounder...

>>6508550
Personally, I would look up a very high end hair salon in your area and sit down with a stylist there. It will cost you a pretty penny (a little more than brand) but if you don't know what to do with your hair a high end professional is a god send. I went to Fredrick Fakkai the other day because my hair was damaged beyond repair and they gave me an utterly beautiful cut, color, masque, treatment etc...my hair is flawless and it works so well with my texture and face shape that all I have to do is blow dry it and I'm out the door. My hair is very wavy and curly in some areas BTW. If you want truly stunning hair I recommend going to a true professional.

>>6508553

Eheheh, this is awkward because I am spoony.
Thing is, my hair is not patchy at all, it is all one even colour now. I'm not sure what route to take because I literally cannot afford to go to a salon full stop. It's not an option for me right now.

I don't understand how overlying the medium ash blonde didn't do the trick, but I don't know that much about hair colouring. It's supposed to be an ashy blonde, but it looks strawberry blonde, I thought the dye would cover this but obviously I was wrong.

>>6508557
smoothing products would be the opposite of body products. but there isn't really a magic way of getting your hair texture to dry differently. the only thing i can really think of is stuff that isn't practical for doing it at home. more or less curler sets, just different techniques.

keratin smoothing treatments would be my main suggestion, and are really lovely and last months, but can be expensive.

>>6508550
do you have a photo that shows more of your face?

I have long, thick and unruly hair. I don't like fussing around with it too much and I was wondering what's a cute low maintenance hairstyle for frizzy hair?

>>6508556
That's wonderful, but unless you've actually worked in a salon on your own and have your licensee you can hardly call yourself a professional. I know plenty of women that work out of home and get little "fashion" projects that don't know what the hell their doing, so those credentials mean very little to me.

>>6508568
can you show us a picture of your current color so we can advise you better?

>>6508568
did you take the color out of the box?

>>6508573

Sure.
First one is under darker light and the second is under brighter artificial light.

>>6508570
I haven't seen Spooky call herself a professional.

>>6508570
i haven't called myself a professional, i'm not. i mean, technically- based off what the word means i am. but i'm not licensed and i don't claim to be.

but i do work 100% on my own at school, and i am often consulted on corrective color after an instructor fucks it up because i do very much understand color theory.
i also have multiple offers from high end salons.

this isn't a dick contest, i don't need you to believe me or think i know what i'm doing. but don't just say i'm wrong- help out. and saying "go to a professional" isn't helpful here. like, very few girls here can afford it. Lolita or cosplay takes up most of their extra cash.

>>6508572
shorter hair can make frizzier hair more frizzy, can you post a photo of your hair so i get a better idea?

>>6508568
get on Skype.

>>6508574

Yes. I was under the illusion that the ashy tones would neutralize the brassiness.

>>6508571
here's a before and after. Any other hair tips would be greatly appreciated!

>>6508560
I just realized I could've lifted a better picture from my Facebook. I'm an idiot. Here's a picture of me with no hair so you can actually see my face shape properly. My face is very round. It makes me sad.

>>6508563
That's a really good idea. I avoided "high end" stylists for years because the first time I went to one, the girl did essentially nothing to my hair, embarrassed me in front of the other clients, was a tactless bitch and then charged me like £100 for her doing nothing. I just sort of stopped doing anything to my hair after that. Maybe it's about time I gave proper stylists another go.

>>6508566
I have not, that is a good idea.

>>6508583
I'd say 2,3, and 4 would definitely suit your face a lot!
I have a round face also, and I find layers and bangs that set against my face compliment me more.

>>6508589

Oh god, I'm so glad to hear that because a bunch of people told me I wouldn't be able to pull off 3 and it's my favourite.
I've never really had proper bangs except for when I was a kid and I think I really would've benefited from them because I've not been happy with my hair since like, ever.

Thank you for the advice!

>>6508583
you're adorable.
i feel like a bob would work really well with you, the 1st or 4th photo would be my picks.

>>6508582
holy fuckkkkk
in a good way
wow
i'm mega jealous

i am still at a blank for ways to really help, other than a smoothing treatment. the only other thing i can think of would be like heatless wrapping methods so you could sleep while it sets. youtube has tons.

>>6508550
Oh dear lord, those piercings look truly awful.

>>6508594

Thank you! I'm leaning toward the fourth or third at the moment.

>>6508597
Ah well, I like them. I know a lot of people who hate them. I shop them out for all of my lolita photos and I'm looking to get retainers to wear too.

>>6508594
Thank you! It's a blessing and a curse. I'll definitely look into wrapping methods, maybe get a keratin treatment instead of a new brand dress or something. My hair doesn't really fit under wigs under any circumstances so it would be an investment anyway!

>>6508585
My problem is that I have a lot of hair, so the frizz adds up.

I just want a hairstyle that looks nice, but nothing so fussy because my hair frizz doesn't take to styling very well.

>>6508619
it's so pretty though. i just love long hair.
i know i keep pushing it, but the Paul Mitchell curl line really smooths frizz.
like, the leave in treatment mixed with the skinny serum

but if you're bent on cutting it i would ask a stylist who can see your hair and play with it. since i can't see the curl or wave pattern i can't really know how much it would bounce up with cutting.

>>6508618
good luck! they are beautiful, and as long as you only wash your hair a few times a week and not daily thy last a long time

>>6508632
I'm hoping to keep it long, but I'm losing lots of hair because it's so heavy on my scalp. I'll try the serum and a trim, anything to help the frizz.

It's hard to see, but it's not really a curl. It looks more like steel wool

>you will never have fun or interesting haie because jesus christ just look at it

>>6508637
I have hair like yours, I know your pain. It just... poofs and frizzes. It looks nice from a distance but up close it's a nightmare. I don't use a blowdryer and I rarely straighten it. I'm glad I have thick hair rather than thin, but it sure would be great to just have it airdry in an acceptable wave without the floof.

>>6508661
Agreed. I've just stuck with blowdrying my scalp and letting the rest airdry, but it's still a frizzy mess.

what if i want white hair?
obviously bleaching it will just make it blonde and most white dye just makes that platinum blonde

wat do?

>>6508822

I've heard white hair is fucking terrible to keep up. Over time, the process destroys your hair, it's expensive and needs a lot of babying and upkeep and really isn't worth it because you're unlikely to get the pure, pure white. You're better off with wigs.

>>6508822
not everyone's hair can be pure white, and it will be very hard to keep up. the only people i know with long white hair are people who are very blonde naturally, like no darker than Kotakoti or people with a lot of hair extensions and not much of it being their own hair.

but it is a relatively simple process when you don't get into the specifics, bleach to pale blonde and then put in a toner. wash with purple shampoo every other shower. and do your roots every 3-6 weeks depending.

>fuck you moot let me post!

fake bangs recs? I'm black if that matters with straightened hair so fake hair can't look too straight; preferably made with real hair

I have no experience with buying weaves so I don't even know where to start.

Does Biosilk Silk Therapy work well as a heat protectant? I got a bottle
of it for Christmas along with a flat iron, so I was wondering. Also, I've never used heat on my hair before and I was planning on using the flat iron to style it regularly so any tips/product recommendations to keep it healthy would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

>>6508335
dat spiral power

Alright, I need some help. The winter weather, cheap shampoo, and hard water in the area is making my usually healthy hair get nasty split-ends. I've had them trimmed since loliday, but even after getting them trimmed and changing shampoos, I still get a lot of split ends; I also dislike that my shampoo/conditioner is making me lose a lot more hair in the shower than usual. I'm currently using the CVS version of Organix's Argan Oil (shamp, cond., leave in cond., and hair serum).

I can't tell if my hair dresser did a bad job getting my ends trimmed, or if the ends just kept splitting, drying, and losing color regardless. Also, any suggestions for moisturizing hair products? I'm starting to hate the stuff I use now.

Do you know how you sound spooky? Do you?

I'm trying to find a box dye for a plain dark blonde, but I've noticed most of them look more like brown shades than blonde. Right now my hair is somewhere inbetween a light and medium blonde, while my roots look almost dark blonde. I was leaning towards either Revlon Colorsilk's Dark Blonde (number 61, I think) or Garnier's foam dye since I've heard they fade easier than other dyes, that way if it comes out too dark I might not have to reach for color stripper or bleach. Any recommendations on box dye though, or would I be good with Revlon? I don't mind buying online, but I'd prefer to be able to pick it up at a store so I can look at the box in person. I'm in the US, btw.

I'm looking for some "beach waves" type tutorials? For short hair? Pic related for the type of wave ball park I'm heading for...'cept for a chin-length?

>>6509446
Do you know what the word "professional" means?

I chopped all my hair off earlier this year and agh I regret it so much.
; ~;
I'm close to just getting extensions soon.
Any tips on making it grow faster?
I have a keratin shampoo that I've been using for probably the past six months or so.

>>6509906
Super off topic, but I love your eyes. You look like a girl I used to like.

Awwwh! tyty you guys ; //;

>>6509882
This is the easiest way to get beach waves. Yes, it works.

>>6509906
Haha, I've seen your nudes.

>>6509882
>>6509920
Would it work for shorter hair though? Only other thing I can think of are pin curl methods where you then brush it out.

>>6510000
If you have enough hair to make a spiral curl it should work. If it's pretty short then you could try braiding it, if you can.

>>6509886
Obvious Spooky is Obvious

>>6510070
Stupid anon is stupid.

>>6510000
davenmayeda has some heatless versions for beach waves, they can be done with any length hair

>>6509920
would work on short hair, but it'd be harder to take big sections and smaller sections will give you a much tighter curl pattern

so your options are to do that on a really low heat setting and take smaller sections, or a high heat setting and then weigh it down with a smoothing serum or something or just run your fingers through it a bunch to loosen it up
or take the big sections and just be really careful when you get closer to your scalp
or do it heatless and just let it air dry for an hour or so
lots of options ~

>>6508257
i'd love any ideas for a shampoo/conditioner to use, because I'm kind of hair retarded
So I have pretty bad flakes, which I can only make look not terrible if I brush my hair in the shower which damages my hair badly. so right now it's flakes or damage.
I'd try moisturizing shampoos, but my hair also gets oily pretty quickly (8-12 hours?) and I think that I read oily hair is from too much moisture
so basically what i'm asking is, are there moisturizing shampoos that can help with flakes and damaged hair while not making my hair too oily?
will love any help

I'm considering dying my hair black, but I don't know if I could pull it off. Does anyone have recommendations for a good dye?

This time last year i DIY bleached the shit out of my hair, then dyed it blue, a year later now i have chopped most of it off but even my regrowth isnt as good as my natuaral hair used to be. My tips are still split ends and i desperatly need to re dye my hair because i have very almost white patches all through it.
I dont want to cut it all off again since im trying desperatly to grow it out, so is there anything i can do to help?

>>6510350
Split ends will not fix themselves. To get rid of them, you have to cut them off. Your hair will just keep splitting and breaking unless you get rid of your split ends.

>>6510227
oily hair can be from drying your scalp out too much which is what it sounds like is happening - your scalp produces MORE oil because you dry it out so much to try and stop the oil and it becomes a vicious cycle.

If you are prepared to put up with oiliness, try the moisturising shampoos and stick with them (at least 2 weeks) for a while to see if it makes a difference

>>6510382
Dif anon, but your post reminded me of a DIY dry shampoo post I remembered seeing awhile ago

http://wellnessmama.com/5047/diy-dry-shampoo/

I've meaning to try it out myself (since I remember hearing about the cornstarch but not cocoa powder and I have dark hair) because my hair no longer gets oily that fast unless I keep it pulled back. Which is often because I have a lot and I'm lazy.

I really want to get hair extensions but I have no idea where to start..any pointers for a newbie?

>>6510234
Use a demi/semi permanent color first since you don't if it'll suit you. It probably won't wash out completely because black is so hard to get out, but it'll fade more than permanent would if you don't like it.

John Frieda's black shades look really pretty if you go with the permanent, I've only used a couple of the blondes, but it was really gentle and easy to put on. It didn't smell that bad either.

What kind of extensions do you want to do? the easiest imo are clip ins

how long should my own hair be before clip on-extrensions may look fine?
and where can i buy good ones

Anybody have some pixie cuts that would work on an oblong face? I want to chop my hair off for college.

I'll dump a few bobs in the meantime.

>>6511017
chin length is long enough, a bit shorter can be okay too but you want a few solid inches. until your hair is long enough to weigh itself down you will have little flip outs and such. so straight styles will look kind of weird unless you're really really careful about your flat ironing beforehand.

but chin length all one length is just fine. this is my hair at chin length with clip ins

>>6511038
thank you, and thats great, i only have a couple of months left until my hair will be that length i think. where did you buy your extensions, they look great

>>6511030
oblong as in, oval shaped? or what?

>>6511046
i bought them at a local beauty shop
places like pic related are your friend

in my experience, ones run by Asians tend to have more variety of human hair, and in more natural colors, but will also cost more
ones run by African Americans or Hispanics will have less variety in natural colors, more unnatural colors, but a lot more synthetic hair

>>6511047
Longer than oval. Most hairstyles utilize extra width to minimize face length. Not sure how that would work with a pixie...

>>6509918
can i see?

Has anyone tried the clip-in extensions from L-email?

I have medium curly hair (basically not tight, not loose) and I want extensions, but my hair doesn't curl exactly the same way every time and wouldn't be as put together as I'd imagine the extensions to be. So basically I'm worried the extensions would look too obvious against the natural curl of my hair. I really don't have time to style them in the morning, nor do I want to straighten my hair ever. What your experiences/recommendation?

>>6511162
it's really hard to match artificial curl to natural curl if you don't want to actually style them. there isn't much you can do except chemically curl or straighten your hair so it's the same every day or wake up an extra 10-30minutes early and style your hair.

Has anyone used the Wella Color Charm blondes before? I want to use one of the level 7 (medium blonde) shades, but I'm worried it'll come out too dark like ION's color usually does on me. I had a light blonde turn out almost medium brown. Also, I've heard Wella's neutral blondes come out kind of dull and bland, is that true?

>>6511346
i have never had amazing results with color charm.

So I've bleached my hair 3 times since July. The first time, i did the whole thing, but the two times after that i only bleached the roots. Also after each time I dyed it purple, pink and teal. Now that the teal is fading, my hair is seriously about every color, and i have about a half inch of roots. My hair is really fragile, so I don't want to dye it again, but I have to for school in January. Would it be better to just cut it off or is there any way to really repair it? I use conditioners after i dye it but other than that idk

>>6508332
Does anyone have a tutorial for this? I'm too durr to figure it out.

>>6511363
go see a professional. i can't tell how damaged your hair is from a description online.

>>6511369
http://youtu.be/yl6w1E_76TU

>>6511352
Well shit. What about some of the other dyes they sell, like the Age Beautiful or Clairol? I just want one that's going to be somewhat predictable and not turn out terribly different from the swatches.

>>6511446
really, with Sally's, there isn't much i do like that they have. Wella would be my favorite, though.

>>6511038
your hair is so beautiful like that, did people ever comment on the split? I really only ever see hair like that online but i want to do my own hair like that someday.

and how expensive were your hair extensions? I remember I bought some from sally's a few years back that were pretty thin and without clips, and they were like 70 bucks or so.

>>6511464
where the fuck did my trip go?

>>6511474
it takes me 2 packs to fill my head to the thickness i want, then i have a little bit of hair left over sometimes.
hair can cost from as low as $50 to as much as $200 a pack, it depends what you buy and what your budget is.
i don't really like Sally hair, like it used to be pretty good but i feel like it's gotten worse over time.

i always sew my own clips on as well.

>>6511474
oh and yeah, people commented on it every single day.
in LA not as much, but when i moved back to Michigan i literally could not leave my house without getting comments.

this is what my real hair looked like too, just for more of a visual.

>>6511038
Just stopping to say you have god-tier extensions.

>>6511494
i've been doing my own extensions for like 6 years.
i'd hope i'd be good at it by now

>>6510968
Clip in. I have medium brown hair.

>>6508353
does anyone have more haircuts like this??? this is literally the perfect hair i've always wanted i will be eternally grateful if someone finds me more haircuts like this??

>>6508648
taper the sides/graident shave them and the back
leave the top long

>>6508648
kyoot.

>>6509343
now I know how Im gonna do my hair next valentines day...

I have naturally dirty blonde hair, but I have been dying it black for about a year now. Well over time this has really damaged my hair and I want it to go back to my natural color. Is there a way to dye it back without bleach? I heard bleach can really damage your hair and that's what I'm trying to avoid... but normal dye won't do much on black (well, more of a dark brown at the moment) will it?

>>6510908
Thanks, I think I'll try John Frieda. Can anyone give me some advice on color matching? I have a warm skin-tone, but a cool colored face. I'm not sure which shade of black to try.

hello i usually never self post on threads like these but i was wondering two things, what are some things i can do with my hair for formal events (other then straighten it) and ive always wanted to do something wild with my hair but been afraid to. any colors you think would work? or styles? this is also the first time ive cut my hair this short.

>>6511960
Use a color stripper like Color Oops or Color Zap. I know color zap has some bleach in it but it'll bring you back to your original color quicker. I've used color oops before and it worked (pretty brassy and dry after wards just deep condition it). Also, throw out the color oops IMMEDIATELY after you use it. I didn't think the smell was as bad as other reviews said--its a sulfur and lemon smell.

>>6511960
there is absolutely no way to get your natural color back. like, if you were in my chair right now asking for blonde i'd tell you to pick something else or go somewhere else.

it is next to impossible to get to blonde from black, especially if you're hair already feels damaged.
when i did this my stylist literally told me most of my hair would fall out, and it did.
pic related, it felt like straw, and shortly after i had to cut it all off to about 1 inch because it continued to melt off.

>>6508256
I love pastel-colored hair as it looks on models and when freshly dyed. But I've seen one too many girls whose hair dye has faded leaving this ugly muddy hue of whatever color itr was supposed to be. Bright pinkish/purplish hues look horrendous on girls with noticeable redness too.

I really want to dye my hair a pretty pastel color but I don't want to spend a fortune on upkeep and my face is almost always bright red and the the only good cover up I could find is a couple shades darker then my skin and leaves a yellow cast. I don't think bright hair will pair well with it.
wat do?

>>6512031
I know it's not what you really want to hear, but maybe look into wigs? Pastels are pretty difficult to get, it won't fade and if it looks bad you can just take it off.

>>6512031
all nice artificial colored hair needs to be touched up at least once a week, many people actually put the color in their conditioner so that when they wash their hair they touch it up.

as for your skin thing- Kat Von D's foundation is amazing. like amazing amazing.
i need to do a half and half on my face to show how well it works. and it's insanely pale, with no yellow tint at all.

but you're right, pink hair will make the red in your face more obvious.

>>6512028

Seconding this. I had to cut off my hair too (waist-length to ear-length, sigh) because I was fucking stupid for not wanting spend some money in getting my hair professionally bleached, did it at home and damaged it. Then dyed it brown hoping this would conceal the mess and things turned even worser.

>>6511363
You can't magically fix hair once it's damaged, just mask the damage. Once it starts poking out from your scalp, it's just layers of keratin. Chop it off.

Question: Hair is a dark blonde naturally but I dye it a lighter blonde. Roots turned out slightly lighter compared to the rest of the hair. What would be the best way to tone out the two differences. Just a heads up, hair likes to go gray/green so ash is out of the question. Would a purple shampoo do the trick?

>>6512575
Purple shampoo only works to neutralize unwanted yellow tones in the hair. It sounds like your issue is one more of lightness than unwanted color, so toning would not be effective. I would just dye your roots with a color that matches the rest of your hair instead.

>>6511474
Screw Sally's extensions. They raised the prices of a lot of their garbage about $10-20+ - and it's still garbage. If you're doing it yourself, I highly recommend buying an 100g weft from eBay, depending on the color/length you want it can be fairly inexpensive. If you have black or brown hair, and want 12"-16" extensions, it will be fairly cheap. If you want a light color (especially platinum) and long (I personally wear shade #613, 20" long) you'll pay $50+
I personally started out at a lower quality human hair weave to get the hang of it, then once I was used to it I spent more.

I also can't strongly recommend enough to watch a ton of videos on youtube about sewing in clips to a weft, or bonding/gluing if you want to go that route. I suggest clip ins to start out with, to get used to the weight and look. Extensions are super duper easy to learn about and I've been wearing them in various forms for years now. I've cut them, dyed them, dreaded them, whatever you can think of. good luck!

>>6512708
Any recommendations for specific stores on ebay, or what to look for?

There is certainly some beautiful hair in this thread and some good advice. Too bad it has nothing to do with /cgl/.

>>"It is too! People style and color their hair for cosplays!"
>Not wearing a wig
>Not discussing cosplay

Got that excuse covered.

>>6512726
Either report or hide the thread.
Derailing into wank isn't going to make it more on topic

>>6512726
Actually, we had a discussion with moot a few weeks ago and he said this sort of fashion stuff is fine.

>>6512736
But it can increase the post count so it gets auto-saged quicker.

>>6512741
He said that j-fashion was fine. Not threads about cutting your hair.

>>6512750
hair directly relates to j-fashion and lolita though. Especially Lolita, it's a very important part sooo...

>>6512750
>auto sage faster

You are so stupid

>>6512754
It only related to j-fashion if you are talking about j-fashion.

>>6512765
Why is that stupid?

>>6512754
It only relates to j-fashion if you are talking about j-fashion.

>>6512765
Why is that stupid?

>>6512777
What purposes does it have when a new thread can easily be made? Why put such a fuss over something so insignificant as that? This self righteous behavior gets you nowhere.

>>6512777
FFS the thread is not against the rules. If seeing it asspains you so much, then hide it and get on with your life.

How do I into hair-growing /cgl/

I've kept my hair at 5mm top, 3mm sides religiously for all of my life, but a couple of friends are cosplaying at a convention and the character I want to go as has pretty long hair

tl;dr Fucking hair, how does it work?

>>6512780
I think you overestimate my level of care a bit.

>>6512784
It is. But as the above poster pointed out, it's not a big deal.

For the next thread maybe we can talk about pedicures. After all, pedicures relate to j-fashion because sometimes Japanese people get pedicures.

>>6512790
Get a wig

>>6512777
I think the "for j-fashion" is implied
we don't need to say "for lolita/jfashion/cosplay" after each post to get the point across.

>>6512792
>For the next thread maybe we can talk about pedicures. After all, pedicures relate to j-fashion because sometimes Japanese people get pedicures.
Sounds like a great idea, actually.

>>6512793
That could work.

polite sage

>>6512792

I've seen you post occasionally before and you always behave like some asspained, haughty bitch with an iron rod shoved up her arse. The only time you emerge from lurker stasis is to bitch and whine.

If it bothers you that much then hide the thread. There are plenty of people who could greatly benefit from a thread like this and yes, whether you like it or not hair directly correlates with fashion.

>>6512792
Yeah, you sure care about something, and that's causing pointless drama.
If you really cared about keeping the board on topic you would have reported the thread, not jumped in to stomp around and stir up shit. You're nothing but a drama mongerer and your self-righteousness is disgusting.

>>6512797
There are plenty of people who can benefit from a lot of things. That doesn't mean /cgl/ is the place to come to for all things related to your personal interests. That's what /adv/ is for.

>If it bothers you so much then ignore it
Perhaps you should take your own advice. Or is this the part where you pretend you don't post negatively?

>>6512726
The board isn't only cosplay related.
Something can be related to j-fashion without needing to throw buzzwords in. The split hair colour discussion, pastel hair colour discussion and dumps of hairstyles were all very relevant to the board without having to go overboard mentioning j-fashion 15 times a sentence

>>6512797
You know you're really an asshole when even Spoony is more reasonable than you

>>6512803
/adv/ is a terrible board and you should feel terrible for even recommending it

>>6512807
stop samefagging spoony, each time you do this it's blatantly obvious

>>6512803
Guy, ignore this trip, she just gets off on being holier than thou because she has nothing else to bring to the table.

>>6512806
I don't see how you can say it relates to j-fashion when nothing concerning j-fashion has even been discussed. You're simply trying to lawyer in a way for something to be correlated when you know full well it isn't. Such a rationalization can mean anything and everything is a topic of "J-fashion" because of some abstract, non-direct association with human beings which are sometimes Japanese.

>>6512817
>ignoring people
>cgl
At least she's a funny troll

>>6512821
oh yes, she's hilarious.

>>6512819
zzzzz.

>>6512816

Would be less funny if that was actually me, but he or she is right in her assertions. This trip only ever shows up to shit all over a thread because as another Anon pointed out, she doesn't have anything useful to bring to the table. She gets off on the stench of her own shit.

Anyway, I'm going to assume you're bunnymage anyway due to the level of butt soreness in your post. Everybody you don't like =/= me samefagging.

>>6512819

Stop trying to sound verbose, your embarrassing yourself with your poor vocabulary.

>>6512819
Did you even look at the thread and the pictures being posted

Did you even try

Or are you just here to bitch and moan

>>6512819

Stop trying to sound verbose, you're embarrassing yourself with your poor vocabulary.

>>6512827
Actually, most of my posts are helpful and geared towards advice and criticism. You're simply cherry picking negative posts in order to fuel your outrage tangent. You choose to focus on topics of emotion because you know my statements are correct and it's difficult to refute.

But no, that poster isn't me. And I don't dislike you. I don't even know who you are. :P

>>6512819

Uh, you do know that hair counts as an element of fashion, right? Grooming and hair styling is a big part of making a coord look good. It's super relevant.

>>6512832

>And I don't dislike you. I don't even know who you are. :P

12 posts earlier.

>Perhaps you should take your own advice. Or is this the part where you pretend you don't post negatively?

>>6512835
Another anon made this point further up the thread but the trip seems to be keen on getting her panties in a tangle. just ignore i guess.

>>6512835
You are absolutely correct. Which would make it a great thread to have on /fa/.

>>6512840
Don't misunderstand. The fact that I sometimes notice posters or posting tendencies on this board doesn't mean that I know who you are. I know nothing about you, let alone enough to like or dislike someone.

>>6512843
So are you ever going to respond to >> 6512800 or are you still pretending to care about the "good of the board"

>>6512843
Do you even go to /fa/? threads like this would get trolled and derailed pretty much from the get-go.
Man, why do I even bother, it's obvious you're so high up your ass you can already see through your mouth.

>>6512843

But this board is lolita and J-fashion. Both of which are fashions. Making it relevant to /cgl/.

Just ignore them, let them bathe in their own bootyached tears until they finally fuck off. This thread is fine, and not against the rules.

>>6512843
If hair threads should be disallowed then so should sewing threads. Just because they're something that goes into cosplay it doesn't mean it's board related. Take them to /diy/ instead.
>this is what you sound like.

Also you know full well /fa/ is basically #menswear and would drive a thread like this off there or just spam it with HYs

>>6512851
Spoony is in here, the thread is already fucked. Might as well ride the drama train until it auto sages and hope both of them stay the fuck out of the next one

>>6512855


spoony is the OP lol

>>6512855

I MADE the thread and the image dump at the beginning.

>>6512847
I'm sorry, I didn't see your post. And I must confess I'm too lazy to search for it without a proper link.

>>6512848
That is the usual excuse given, isn't it?

>Hey /cgl/, let's talk about random stuff!
>Then why don't you go to the appropriate board for it?
>Nah, I don't like those guys. LETS DO IT HERE!

In any case, I've been to /fa/ and most threads are indeed mature and very helpful. You should give it a shot before shooting it down.

>>6512849
Also don't forget that the word "thread" also sounds the same as "bored", and many Japanese television shows are "boring". And Japanese television shows are watched by people living in Japan, whom are sometimes prone to interests in fashion. Particularly, JAPANESE fashion.

Holy crap, you're right. I've been blind all this time!

>>6512850
Sewing threads usually are centered around the discussion of cosplay.

>>6512859
So you admit to posing as anonymous.

Caught red-handed.

Er, yes? I thought I made it pretty at the beginning of the thread that it was me posting it, and I took my trip off so that people like you wouldn't come in and derail it.

Don't you have some festering tampon to go remove from your gaping vagina? I'd hurry if I were you, I've heard toxic shock syndrome can be some pretty serious stuff, it can even affect your mind and cause you to start shitposting on perfectly legitimate threads because you have nothing better to do.

I recommend everybody just report her btw, I'm going back to bed.

>>6512859
Doesn't mean anyone likes you or thinks you're less of a shit than Bunnybitch

>>6512864

I understand, you're one of those dicks that like to imagine /cgl/ is exclusively for cosplay. Well I've got news for you, it's cosplay AND lolita AND Japanese fashion. If you can't stand sharing, then fuck off and make your own place to talk exclusively about cosplay.

You're not even listening to what anybody's saying. You're just repeating things that make no sense.

Let me put it this way, if you wanna say that hair isn't relevant to lolita, then I guess wigs mustn't be relevant to cosplay. A coord is only complete if the look is from head to toe. You can't look great in lolita with gross hair, same way you'll look shitty in cosplay without a decent wig.

>>6512866

In any case, I've been to /fa/ and most threads are indeed mature and very helpful. You should give it a shot before shooting it down.

Confirmed for troll.

>>6512866


>In any case, I've been to /fa/ and most threads are indeed mature and very helpful. You should give it a shot before shooting it down.

HAHAHAHAHA

Why does everyone hate Spoony so much?
Are you all just bitches in general?

I know she's a tripfag, but she's always seemed pretty nice to me.
Is there a reason for such reckless hate?

>>6512866
Can you see this?
You are nothing but a drama mongering bitch.
Stop pretending that you're being an asshole because you want to keep the board on track. If you really wanted that you would have reported and hidden instead of stirring up as much shit as possible with half assed excuses.

>>6512873

Not everybody hates her, it's typically a few people who come into every thread she posts in and derails it with hatred giving it the illusion that it's more then a couple. There was a thread yesterday on the verge of 404'ing that an Anon pulled all the way back to the front page just so they could insult spoony because she'd posted in it.

>>6512877

She should probably get a new trip, or drop it forever, huh? the rest of us survive without trips.

>>6512868
>I thought I made it pretty at the beginning of the thread

Not from what I've seen.

>>6512872
>Well I've got news for you, it's cosplay AND lolita AND Japanese fashion

None of which is represented as a discussion in this thread.

>then I guess wigs mustn't be relevant to cosplay

A wig is part of a cosplay. There's a direct correlation. Simply talking about how to do your hair to make it pretty has nothing to do with J-fashion unless you and everyone else here happens to be Japanese.

>>6512875
I don't feel I'm being an asshole. I've said nothing out of line nor insulted anyone. I've stated my opinion clearly and concisely and there's nothing wrong with that. If you don't want drama to be "stirred up" then stop getting stirred up.

>>6512873
>>6512877
Hi Spoony.

>>6512873

Example being:

>>6512873
>>6512877
>Hi Spoony

>omg, I liek, don't even kno who u r, stop bullying me!

>HI SPOONY, STOP SAMEFAGGING SPOONY
>I TOTALLY DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE LEL ;P

>>6512878
She has tried abandoning her trip in the past, and people always tried to "call her out" on posing as anonymous like >>6512866 did.
I find Spoony pretty trying too sometimes, but I don't know why the people who really hate her don't just filter her trip.

>>6512881

Fuck you for trying to act superior, all tripfags are attention whores, if you think you're better or any different from her you're a stupid cow. This is an ANONYMOUS message board, the only reason for getting a trip is if you're an attention whore who wants to become a board celebrity to fuel your fragile ego, you sad little fuck.

You should probably just kill yourself if you need to get a reputation on a 4chan board in order to make yourself feel important.

>>6512886
Stop making fun of me. :( Cyber-bullying is a crime.

>>6512889
lol please. Of all the tripfags on this board I'm probably the LEAST attention-whoring. I don't care if anyone knows me or not. I only come here for discussion and critique.

>>6512887
Hi Spoony.

>>6512866
>In any case, I've been to /fa/ and most threads are indeed mature and very helpful. You should give it a shot before shooting it down.

O-oh you're serious.

Oh.

Lol.

>>6512893

The only reason for getting a trip is attention whoring. people who have trips offer nothing to the conversation, they only want to make a name for themselves. You are no exception...

I repeat, there would be NO POINT in having a trip if all you wanted to do was talk about cosplay and lolita. The fact that you have a trip AUTOMATICALLY means you think you are entitled to recognition and you can't just contribute to a conversation like the rest of us.
You are a BRAT!

I REPEAT! KILL YOURSELF!

>>6512901
It can also act as a conversational label. It's nice sometimes to know which person you are actually talking to rather than just one big anonymous blob.

And NO I WILL NOT kill myself! Stop trying cast your Power Word on me, you dumb wizard.

>>6512908

That is literally the worst excuse I've ever heard. How long did it take for you to come up with that?

Might as well just call yourself what you are, which is an entitled little cunt who can deal it out but can't take it.

>>6512908

If you're not careful, people will turn on you like you turned on spoony.

I would like to watch as you taste your own medicine.

>>6512901
I'm a trip from /r9k/ but before you lash out at me, I post anon on /cgl/ because it's not my place to trip here, I'm just too tired to take my trip off (I'm on my phone and it's 6 am and I'm barely staying awake) so yeah but pretend I'm writing this anon

I actually like it when Spooky posts with her trip on when I lurk because she actually seems to know what she's talking about and in a thread with a lot of conflicting opinions, it's nice to hear from someone whose advice has worked for me in the past. It's kind of like insurance, bc she's responsible for what she says, and she's usually v helpful so I can always look to her if there is misleading info in the thread

/cgl/ has a lot of disinformation, even in cosplay threads (unrepeatable vendettachans) so the trips are nice because you actually know who to trust and who has been to meetups and isn't just a male neckbeard vendettachan writing from his mom's basement

But yeah

>>6512917
>I'm a trip from /r9k/
Stopped reading there. And no, Spooky will not fuck you. Bye bye now.

>>6512881

Both are represented. I'm a lolita, I posted here with some lolita appropriate hair styles I've picked out for aid as to which would suit me. In fact, if you are on this board, you probably wear lolita or J-fashion if you're not a cosplayer or here for the drama. Therefore, a large portion of the people posting in this thread must wear lolita or J-fash. Therefore, this thread is relevant because we wear these fashions and want our hair to fit in with our look.

And hair is part of a coord.

Also, that's bullshit, J-fash is Japanese Fashion because it ORIGINATED there, not because everybody who wears it is Japanese. By that logic, because cosplay originated in Japan, anybody posting about it who isn't Japanese is irrelevant.

You're talking out of your ass and looking for drama. If you have such an issue, email the big man. Don't derail threads, especially if you're going to claim you're not attention whoring. Last I checked, taking over a thread by being a petty asshole counted as attention whoring.

>>6512917

My problem was not directed at spoony, my anger was directed at the chick acting like she was superior to spoony and bullying spoony even though they're booth tripfags and just as bad as each other.

I think nobody should trip, there is a reason why 4chan is anonymous. It makes the website what it is.

If you want to be recognized and you want to know who you're talking to, fuck off to facebook or tumblr, and don't get surprised when people call you out on your bullshit.

>>6512919
I'm actually a girl ;_; I am into Lolita but I don't have many friends (read: any) and so I don't have anyone to hang with so I'm just... acclimating right now (anonymously). It starting to feel silly spending money on stuff you're too scared to wear outside.

Other anon who replied to me (I can't quote your post bc mobile 4chan sucks): I was talking about Spooky, the makeup girl, not Spoony, that one shitposts and derails too much. Too tired to write more but trips are useless for boards with a large amount of disinfo (like cgl). An example of a board that doesn't really need trips but has them anyway cos board culture would be effay

>>6512911
It is true. Whether you choose to believe it or not is up to you.

>>6512912
>you turned on spoony.
This explains a lot.

>>6512918
So you believe that if people dress in lolita or cosplay then they have carte blanche to talk about anything they want no matter how off-topic it might seem since their lolita status means everything they speak about pertains to lolita.

I'm sorry, but 4chan doesn't work that way. Boards are seperated into categories specifically for posting images and discussion about said topic. You only "imply" a topic if you are talking about it. If this was a thread about japanese fashion, japanese fashion would have been references somewhere. You're simply using that as a convenient excuse to turn /cgl/ into some kind of generalistic women's help magazine.

>>6512917
That's an odd stance to take, considering how she is almost never attempting to be helpful. Perhaps you're spoony herself trying once again to curtail her image.

>>6512921
I mean useful not useless, going to go now, zzz

>>6512922
Oh and Spooky, not Spoony. Spoony is a shitpoater on /fit/ and /toy/ and was one on /r9k/ too. I men Spooky. Charms. Etc. Idk if I'm making sense cos I'm starting to fall asleep

>>6512921

You seem like a nice girl so I going to keep it real with you.

Drop your trip, or nobody will ever take you seriously. And tripfagging on /r9k/? girl, what are you thinking...

>>6512922

I didn't say that. I stated that hair is relevant to lolita. Which is part of this board. Scroll up and read the header; Cosplay & EGL. Like I said, if you don't wanna share, fuck off and make your own board.

This thread is about lolita and Japanese fashion because hair is an important part of the coord. It is related. A majority of the images posted are lolita and J-fash appropriate. The people posting wear these fashions and want hair that works with the fashion.

Why don't you go shit up the threads that are actually off-topic like those "tfw no gf" threads? You might hate lolita and J-fash but they're relevant and they've got every right to be posted here. If you're so upset, hide the thread and email moot. Go post in threads relevant to your interests instead of derailing this one.

>>6508295
The fuck is everyone's fixation towards this girl? She's ok, pretty.... ish. Colored hair that is still smooth and all.

So?
inb4 baww you're jelly ;_;

>>6512979
No one is fixated on this girl, it's just spoony, that keeps posting her everywhere.

I have hair past my hip bones by about two inches now, and it's moderately thick. Problem is, it's flat as a board. I can't get it to have any volume or take to curls at all, because it just flattens itself out within 30 minutes no matter what hairspray I use. Does anyone know of a good product that would give me lots of volume and hold the style? I want to try the style like in >6508348 for the curls, but I need something that will actually make it stay after I'm done.

How do I apply daktarin on my scalp? Every time I try I end up putting it on my hair and it's such a waste as the tube is really small
also I've bought the 2% one but as I have difficulty finding it near where I live does the foot version have the same effects? I've read the ingredients quickly and I didnt see any Miconazole Nitrate, are there any other alternatives to Monistat/Daktarin available in Europe that are just as effective/have the same effects?

not cosplay related. gtfo.

>>6515505
It's J-fashion related you stupidhead.

>>6515507
Right, that's why nobody in this thread has even mentioned J-fashion and are just talking about daily wear.

Stop using that dumb excuse to be off-topic.

>>6515522
Yes, because shitty hair looks good with Japanese fashion. Take your sandy cunt elsewhere. This thread is allowed here, along with makeup/skincare threads.

>>6515505
uhhhhh ohhhh

>>6515505
Not everyone wears wigs
gtfo sandy j

This discussion about whether it's related or not happened yesterday and all of the posts were deleted.

Ignore the whiny cunts, they're just looking to start drama. If they actually cared, they would hide and report the thread instead of coming in to complain like children.

>>6515522
>nobody in this thread has even mentioned J-fashion and are just talking about daily wear.


Yeah, because if I just dyed my hair cotton candy pink and blue and come here asking for help to make it less fucked, I'm sure going to say "hey, I just dyed my hair IT WAS FOR J-FASH PURPOSES BECAUSE I WEAR FAIRY KEI and...".

Really, get out.

>>6515524
There is nothing in this thread that has anything to do with japanese fashion. Zero. It is just a thread about doing your hair. With the logic you're using ANY off-topic thread belongs on /cgl/ so long as a person interested in japanese fashion likes it.

Sorry, but I'm sick of stupid people making off-topic threads on this board then saying "Oh... this could be used with a cosplay or something to do with Japan. So it's allowed."

/cgl/ is not your god damn blog. Post specifically about cosplay or lolita or get the fuck out.

>>6515575
You know the difference, don't play stupid. Coming onto /cgl/ to ask for general hair advice is something that belongs on /fa/. There's nothing here that is specifically related to j-fashion so cut the bullshit.

>>6515578
>>6515585
>off-topic
No, these threads are kosher. moot said so himself. Get the fuck out, quit samefagging and stop shitting up the thread.

>>6515588
Moot said that j-fashion threads were ok. This is not a j-fashion thread. You cannot just claim every thread you see is about j-fashion when there is zero evidence of it.

Considering that yesterday a ton of posts were deleted from this thread by somebody (Presumably the janitor?) but the thread itself wasn't deleted, I'd say it's pretty safe to assume this thread is viewed as acceptable.

I have really, REALLY thin ratty hair. Is there anything I can do to encourage more to grow / make it appear I have more?
Any haircuts I can get without looking terminally ill?

>>6515585
try going on /fa to talk about hair as a woman. not a particularly productive pursuit.

>>6515594
The new janitor is retarded and doesn't know what to keep or delete. If you make any sort of help thread, regardless of topic there's a good chance it will remain up because he doesn't know the difference.

>>6515621
I bet you've never tried. You just go straight to /cgl/ to ask women about women things.

Some people believe this board is Seventeen Magazine.

>>6515626
Fuck off and hide the thread if you don't like it. Moot has never said anything against these threads, they're never deleted and they go hand-in-hand with J-fashion along with general attractiveness, as do makeup tutorial and skincare threads do. And yes, you CAN have all of these things wrapped up together, it's not just one or the other. Deal with it.

haircuts or styles for people who have really small foreheads? alternatively has anyone ever had a laser hair removal on their hairline to achieve a larger forehead? i'm not aiming for the alien five head look but a larger forehead is so much cuter...

>>6515585
>>6515591

Fuck off Bunny Mage. You couldn't make it any less obvious that this is you.

>>6515602
Biotin supplements help your hair grow thicker and healthier. You can get them at any drug or grocery store. They do take about a month before they start working though, so you need to keep on using them.

>>6515775
Be aware that it can cause issues with acne -- my face exploded shortly after I started. It's fading now, but I had 7 huge zits in a week when I usually only get one or two in a month.

I have need of assistance. I want to wear my hair back tomorrow, pushing it back with a headband.

The problem is that I've got a fringe, one that reaches above just above my eyebrows and this is very difficult to push back because you get loads of fly-away hairs popping out. Is there a way for me to hold it back without having to get my hair all thick and shiny with gel products? I hate the greasy appearance they give.

>>6515775
>>6515786
god dammit. i was about to go buy some, but i don't want any skin problems. my body is pretty sensitive to change.

>>6515630
Uh, I have. I'm a girl, went to /fa/ once, posted face. Got "cut it short" "get a pixie (third picture on "pixie cut" at google attached)" and "you are qt" and only that.

Came to /cgl/, people posted not only cut ideas that went beyond "I'm attracted to females who look like this therefore all female should look like this" but also loads of pictures of said cuts, ideas on colors, questions about hair type and face shape etc.

Really, /fa/ is useless on this kind of stuff.

Besides... MOOT SAID IT WAS OKAY. HE OWNS THE WEBSITE. HE MAKES THE RULE. HIS OK MEANS YOU CAN'T COMPLAIN BECAUSE IT IS ON TOPIC.
Uppercase because you really need to understand that.

>>6515958
Start with a half of the supplement. I cut mine in half and started with that and gradually moved to a full dose. I have the same problem anon! It's really helped my hair and nails though! So good luck!

>>6515996
/fa/ knows nothing about women, except what they like to see women wear, not about women body types and whatever. Only once have I come across a good thread about swimsuits and there was one good femanon who was able to help me out. Everyone else just posted "But THIS would look good!"...yeah, on Megan Fox it would look good, not on everybody else.

>>>/fa/

>>6515939
>I have need of assistance. I want to wear my hair back tomorrow
And I'm sure you're dressing up in J-fashion tomorrow, right?

Since this thread is supposedly about J-fashion that means you naturally wouldn't be asking for help about normal daily wear, right?

>>6516722

lol, fuck off Bunny Mage.
You still butt bothered about getting your shit deleted and banned the other day?

>>6516719
Bunny Mage tripdropping or vendettachan?

Either way, fuck off already. Moot said the thread can stay, the janitor let it stay, IT CAN STAY.

>>6517481

Report these posts. She'll probably get banned again.

>>6516722

Your shit was deleted too, retard.

And no I'm not bunnymage so come up with a better way to deflect off not having a comeback.

>>6517481
Moot never said this thread can stay. He said he didn't mind j-fashion threads. Which has nothing to do with this.

>>6517489
I reported your post instead.

You are an annoying person.

>>6517491

The entire fucking argument was deleted you spaz. If the janitor wanted to delete all of my stuff, he would have deleted the thread as well seeing as I'm the OP.

>Your shit was deleted too, retard.

I'm actually laughing so hard right now, because you just proved that you are Bunny Mage. Can you possibly get any thicker?

>>6517491

>Your shit was deleted too, retard
>And no I'm not bunnymage


Yeaahhhh, sure you're not her.....

>>6517496
Like an above poster stated, the dumb janitor doesn't delete any "help" threads because he doesn't know whats on topic and what's not. Same reason we have to deal with mail threads and artists alley shit.

And please, don't bother with the bullshit of "ITS A J-FASHION THREAD" because you know full well you just want to talk randomly about doing your hair. Idiots like you need to stop using excuses to turn /cgl/ into the women's version of /b/.

>>6517503

>implying the mail threads and artist alley threads aren't 100% related to /cgl/

>>6517489
>Report these posts. She'll probably get banned again.
>>6517496
>you just proved that you are Bunny Mage

You make no sense. If the person you're in a feud with is banned, how can they be here now talking to you? Make up your mind.

>>6517505
lol they aren't related. artists alley threads are about fanarts talking about their booths selling their art and mail threads are literally just people listing what random stuff they're getting in the mail. They literally have ZERO to do with cosplay, lolita, j-fashion, or whatever the fuck else you want to dream up correlates with /cgl/.

Seriously, do you just believe ANYTHING you have a passing interest in is a valid topic of this board? So ridiculous.

>>6517508

Ban evasion probably. She could have reset her router.
If she wasn't Bunnymage she would have said "your stuff got deleted "too". How would she have even know what was in the thread before everything got deleted? There were no anons shitposting about how it was irrelevant, only Bunnymage.

I don't know why she she just doesn't put her trip back on. Probably thinks it'll be easier to avoid another ban.

>>6517515
Probably because you were in here whining and bitching like you are now for several hours and it was impossible for anyone on the board not to notice? After coming back from dinner you dumbfucks were STILL going at it.

The janitor doesn't have power to ban people btw. And if bans were going to be placed you'd be banned too. Along with the 50 other anons in the thread.

>>6517531

not spoony, but janitors can block somebody from posting for around 15 minutes whilst they put in a ban ticket for a moderator to review in that space.

>>6517503
Then why aren't you shitting up those other threads, just this one? I'm inclined to think it's because Spoony started the thread.

Seriously, stop whining and hide the thread. Or is that too difficult for you?

>tfw when defending spoony when i don't even like her, ugh.

>>6517533
>>6517533
Derailing conversations are not against the rules. The noob janitor can do the block thing but they usually get denied by the mod since there's no basis for them.

Thank you based janitor x

What does this thread even have to do with /cgl/ anyway? Talking about "hair general" is what /fa/ is for.

Nothing concerning cosplay or lolita is even being discussed here.

So has anybody here tried Wen shampoo and conditioner? I have super coarse, frizzy, curly hair and even at my greasiest my hair looks dry and fried.

Also, I know heat can be bad for your hair and skin, but how bad is taking a hot shower compared to actually using a straightener and stuff. I avoid hot styling tools and let my hair air dry, but it's winter damn it and I need my hot showers.

>>6515939

I have bangs as well. What I usually do is I pin some of my bags back with small hair pins. Then cover it with a head band. If you still get fly aways from doing that then you might just have to leave your bangs alone. Hope that helps.

>>>/fa/

>>6517609
Someone hasn't been keeping up. This shit is legit now as long as we don't crowd the board with it.

>>6517616
More like the janitor is too stupid to know what belongs here and what doesn't.

>>6517609
>>6517620

Bunny Mage is one butthurt faggot. Your shit has been deleted 3 times now, when are you going to get the picture?

>>6517623
Not her, but you're obviously Cunt since you've that exact same line already.

>>6517623
Not her, but you're obviously Cunt since you've said that exact same line already.

>>6517595
I always take warm-hot showers but rinse my hair in cold/cool water. You should still try to keep your hair out of the warm/hot water otherwise because it can cause it to dry out (and cause color fade.) I also air dry my hair and don't use styling tools.

I haven't tried Wen, but getting organic/non-sulfate shampoos is healthier for your hair.

>>6515939
Have you tried to use hair spray instead? You can pin your bangs back, spray, and as it dries smooth back fly-aways.

Not responding to anyone in particular, but you can totally go from black to blonde - very, VERY slowly and carefully. And be prepared to spend outrageous amounts of money and time babying the absolute shit out of it.

Seriously, I have naturally black hair and very gradually lightened it bit by bit down to white. It is great condition - BUT my hair regimen is outrageous. I can't really recommend it.

Wash with cold water, just once or MAYBE twice a week. Kerastase or Redken All Soft Heavy Cream masque - 20 minutes twice a week. Absolutely absurd amounts of Redken/Argan oil serum, almost no blow drying except when it's almost all the way air-dried. Argan oil spray for every single section as the hair is being blow dried. One pass per section, never more. Satin pillow case, special brush. No swimming, ever.

TL:DR - you can go from black to white, but prepare for the shittiest and most expensive hair care routine ever.

>>6517914
Oh, and it took 9 months to get all the way to white from black, with some pretty hideous colours on the way down.

>>6517914

I too don't understand people saying it's not possible to do it and not have your hair end up falling out when I did it just a couple of weeks ago. It is doable, but it has to be gradual and you have to do a fuck tonne of treatments as you said. Every time I did something, anything, be it a basic dye to level things out or a small Hydrogen Peroxide treatment I would slather my hair in a deep conditioning treatment afterwards and leave it overnight.

I don't think it'd be a very good idea to go from black to platinum, but a natural blonde is very doable.

What shade of blonde is your own hair?

>>6517961
Hah, no that's what I'm saying though! My natural hair colour is black black black. I managed to get it down to white, but it took all of what I just described over the course of 9 months.

I didn't lose any hair, and like I said it's in good condition. You just really have to spoil it, like you said.

Sage for off-topic thread.

>>6517914

>>6517918

9 months... you definitely waited longer then me then.
How exactly do you handle your roots? Is it the same process?

I ended up having to cut an inch off the bottom of my hair after I did my own since it was old hair that had been coloured with a previous dye and not in too great shape. Thanks to Monistat/Daktarin though it's longer then before I cut it now.

>>6517825
>>6517604

I have tried hairspray and pinning it, but I guess it's just too short for now. Thanks for your replies though x

The janitor just keeps deleting posts in this thread because people point out that he's an idiot that doesn't know what to keep or delete on this board. If he was actually interested in getting rid of derailments (which aren't even against the rules) he'd be doing it to other threads.

He also throws out frivolous attempts to ban people. Every time I've seen him put up one of those 15 minute ban requests the mods deny them.

I don't know who Moot got to be a new janitor here but he's completely incompetent.

>>6518074
Yep same, lots of trims. It's not very long, just shoulder length. And the roots are always in pretty good shape since I have oily hair so it's not an issue just bleaching them more rigorously than the rest of the hair.

>>6512004
Neutral/natural toned color would probably be the best thing to go with. Most of them will look good on just about any skin tone.

>>6508266

i recently just went from a light brown with red in it to blonde and had the same problem. Make sure you're taking a shit ton of biotin, use a hot oil or deep conditioning treatment at least twice a week, and only blow dry your hair with cold air (this helps to make the cuticle lay flat so it isn't frizzy). you don't have to bleach your hair again. if anything keep using the violet shampoo and if it isn't doing anything, find a semi-permanent color (like a 10V) and put that on your hair and that will help to get any of the remaining gold tones out.

>>6518094

Lucky. I've stopped dying my hair full stop now because I just cannot keep up with the costs of dye, so I've just gone back to my natural colour.

I was tempted to dye my hair grey a couple of days ago though.
Speaking of which, has anybody here ever used the Blythe dyes with good results? Or bad results even.

>>6508458
biotin silk therapy.

>>6518161
And I'm sure all of those dye jobs over the years are all for the sake of Japanese fashion, right?

Since this thread is supposedly about J-fashion, that means you're doing all this for J-fashion, correct?

>>6518161
Aw. Yeah, it's not cheap :/ Your hair looks fantastic in that photo though, wish I had gone silver - but I'm technicolour now and going back to natural next.

>>6518198

Oh no, that's not my hair haha
It's just some girl from a blog I follow. Her hair is what tempted me to dye it though.

>>6518167
I don't think this thread really has anything to do with j-fashion. Cunt/Spoony just used that as an excuse to post whatever topic she wanted to talk about.

>>6518216

What kind of beef do you have against threads that help others? I always participate in these threads because I end up learning so much from them.

What the hell is your problem?

>>6518230
We're only supposed to talk about cosplay, lolita and j-fashion. Because learning how to take care of and style hair doesn't help with any of those things. Apparently.

>>6518230
This board is for the topics of cosplay and lolita. If you're just generally interested in "helping people" then go to /adv/.

>>6518238
If you were actually interested in those things you'd have mentioned it somewhere. Quit with the bullshit.

Anyone got any henna tips? I know Lush was rec'd in the past, but I don't have one open near me at the moment (and the one near school in under renovation) so I was wondering how Rainbow henna is?

Not looking for henna-red hair btw, I have black hair and will either just make it more black (or get the burgandy for a tint.)
