Just gonna dump for a bit to get the thread going.

Would love to see any updos for long hair, other than plain pony/bun. Got a new job at a restaurant that requires my hair to be up, but I still wanna look cute.

Any good suggestions for ways you can style and do your hair with a hime cut?

>>9091273

>>9091284
I'll go and get some pics. I have short hair myself, so I don't have a ton saved.

>>9091294

>>9091298

>>9091306
A few years ago when I had longer hair, I wore this style all the time. It's super easy to do when you're in a rush.

>>9091312

>>9091315

>>9091325

>>9091330

>>9091294
I love all of these anon, thanks so much! I also forgot to mention, I have very long side bangs that make a pretty swoop especially if I tuck it behind my ear, got any ideas for that?

>>9091333
Last one anon! I hope it helped.
>>9091286
This might sound kind of obvious, but most of the pictures I've seen with hime cuts that were styled looked a lot like standard j-fash hairdos. The only difference was that instead of having the thin long pieces next framing the face they had thick long pieces framing the face.

>>9091340
My advice here is kind of like it was for styling a hime cut. Style the rest of your hair as you would otherwise and just make sure that the overall ~look~ is balanced and cute.

Any suggestions for a medium length curler? I'm deciding between a curling iron and a magic wand curler, not sure which one to get. I have asian hair which ends up like >>9091254 whenever I try to do anything to it. I just want lush full curls for classic lolita.

Contributing with what tutorials I have.

>>9091374

>>9091379

>>9091384

>>9091391

The hairdresser murdered my hair. Now it looks like pic related, but with longer bangs. She cut so many layers in the back and sides that it poofs up like an afro.

Requesting any advice/inspo pics (even if it involves hats).

>>9092182
(for the record, this is the picture I had shown the hairdresser. kms)

>>9092182
My condolences. Could you post a picture of your hair and just blur out your face? How you described your hair sounds very different from >>9092193.

>>9091384
I really want to see this done in a way that's practical for everyday wear. Every tutorial I see for it people put in an INSANE amount of hair extensions which is unessessary, or have crazy thick/over processed hair. I just wanna look like a viking.

Can your hair "heal"?
I went blonde two years ago, so the lower part of my hair got to see some bleach in its lifetime.
If I now try to dye my hair (which looks okay on the outside and feels soft enough at this point), that lower part wont absorb the color.
It's not too much of a hassle to grow it out but I'd like to know if anyone had a similar experience and then managed to get their hair to be able to be dyed again by treating it well for another year or so.

Are there any nice hair styles with no bangs that will go well with classic or gothic lolita? I always find the no bang look so jarring in lolita, but I have a friend who is starting out that is not ready to commit to bangs, and I want to make her first coord beautiful.

>>9092210
Get a wig.

>>9092210
Look at Fanny Rosie's hairstyles for examples: http://fannyrosie.tumblr.com/tagged/hairstyle

>>9092212
Stick to cosplay, anon.

>>9092210
Clip on bangs are also an option, assuming you can find one that matches your friend's hair color perfectly.

>>9092201
Maybe check out Miranda Hedman on youtube? Some of her hairstyles aren't very practical, but they're some good inspo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itJGiVd24Vk

>>9092202
You definitely have to cut that off. My hair got to a similar point where it was so damaged it wouldnt take on the ends, which means the bonds are just too damaged. Cut it off and hope it hasn't travelled up the hair shaft.

I'm trying to get subtle-pink ash blonde hair, pretty much exactly the same as pic. I bleached my hair to a very pale yellow, like the inside of a banana, and will tone to ash blonde over the weekend. Could I just dilute the hell out of pravana vivid's magenta or is there too much purple in there?

>>9092339
In my experience, you'll want to go with a peachier color, because toning your hair will usually make it silver/grey and have cool undertones, and you need something with warmer undertones to get the pink/ash effect.
Ion has a pretty good peach, and I would really look into getting some silver lights shampoo for help with toning.

>>9092223
Are you new? Wigs are common in Lolita now a days.

>>9092212
>>9092230
Like I said she doesn't really want to commit to the hair stuff as she is just starting. She has nice long hair, just no bangs, and doesn't even want clip on bangs. So wigs or clip ons won't work. I am not a fan of the look myself but I know that some people can really make it work.

>>9092220
Thanks! Will look at those for inspo!

>>9092385
I didn't say they weren't common but if your immediate suggestion for someone looking for bang-less hairstyles is to get a wig then you probably shouldn't be giving people fashion advice. Wigs aren't necessary in lolita and neither are bangs.

So after one to many bleach sessions my hair is now severely fucked up. I've done coconut masks and I've bought repairing shampoo and conditioner etc but of course it can only do so much.
My hair is about the same length and style as pic related (only its layered a bit) and I'm trying grow it out, but I'm thinking I'll have to just cut it because it looks really bad atm
Could anyone suggest any hairstyles shorter than this, that preferably takes little to no styling (don't want to damage it even more) and would work for J-fashion?

>>9092210
>that one hairstyle when you gather up just the front of the hair and pin it up in a lil pompadour, pin with bobby pins, decorate rest of the hair accordingly
>one strand of braid in front of forehead as a faux braid
>side-swept hair
>just a hat is okay

>>9091257
THIS IS A GOD SENT, THANKS ANON!

>>9092182
A picture would definitely help, if you're not comfortable with that blur your face. I feel like something like pic related would work with your hair, but some styling is needed to get that messy, cute look.

>>9092356
Thanks for the advice, I think I'll just mix pink with a little yellow since I'm familiar with pravana already and like the results.

>>9092413
Why not just a shorter version of that? I use mousse, pomade, and rollers to style damp hair then let it air dry. It gets my hair to flip in the right direction and you don't use any heat.

>>9092182
Lol this pic looks almost exactly like my mom when she was a kid. She rocked this cut pretty hard.

For real tho if the back is that fucked up you may need to go for an undercut.

>>9092404
But they don't want to cut their hair so a wig would be a great solution? They just put it on and they have bangs. Do you have a problem with wigs? Did a wig touch your nono area?

>>9092471
I like ones with soft curls since they make it look less edgy but if you have hair that won't hold a curl that may not work for you.

>>9092475

>>9092476
This ones a bit tumblr but with a nicer dye job I think this idea could be cute.

End mini dump.

i have about two inches of roots on pastel hair. i can't get my hair touched up for another month, but im going crazy, the roots look so garish and ugly.

is there anything i can do to make them more tolerable? could i get some brown dye to blend them in with the rest of my hair (ombre effect) or just wait?

>>9091257
I spent a long time working on this and I was afraid people would ignore it, so it makes me really happy everytime someone posts it!
>>9092202
Not really. Hair is dead, all you can do is force it to soak up oils so it seems a little livelier. It probably won't ever act the same as the rest of your hair again. I just lost 4 inches for this reason, rip.
>>9092577
Probably don't fuck with it, especially not with dye. If it's already at two inches, it might look a little more intentional. Have you tried braiding it away from your face?
But you should probably just have it bleached again. Is it a medical concern or a money concern? If it's a money concern, the local cosmetology school here bleaches and tones regrowth for $30.

This is kind of a weird question, but my wardrobe is split pretty evenly between edgy/androgynous clothes and otome/larme. I was thinking about getting an undercut, but I wasn't sure it would look good in girlie outfits. Does anyone have any inspo for how I could cut it?

>>9092713
Maybe try getting a style that's only visibly an undercut when you tie your hair up? Probably not with the edgelord pattern though, but you get the idea.

The last time i went to get a haircut one of the stylists had this style of undercut with her hair tied into a loose sock bun. I thought it was pretty cute.

Anyone got any curly hair guides? I'm getting a haircut on tuesday because I'm getting a bad case of triangle-hair.

I've got a few inches before it hits shoulder length, so I'm looking for some inspo for that to show my hair dresser.

>lowkey totally jealous of people with straight or wavy hair because I cannot braid these rebellious curls for shit

Hey, I would love any advice on what I should do with my hair. I've asked a lot of my friends and such for opinions but I'm not getting any good answers. At the moment, my hair is dyed a copper-blonde colour (on the left, which was done a good 6 months ago) so it's safe to say m regrowth is pretty bad (honestly, really bad). My natural colour is a dark brown (the right). I also haven't cut it since I dyed it.

Anyway, I need an opinion. Should I bother bleaching my hair again or should I dye it back to my natural colour? My bad if I posted this wrong, I don't post here often!

>>9091290
Looks like Gwenpool hair

>>9092894
Personally, If I had your hair but didn't feel like bleaching again, I would have some fun with it and dye it a dark but interesting colour, so that the roots don't look so obvious. I'd use a box dye like palty or prettia in one of the darker ash, purple or pink shades. I just feel like having all that lightened hair and dyeing it back to its normal colour is like a waste. That's just me though.

>>9091284
Cute girls' hairstyles on YouTube for braids and ideas about updos.

>>9091374
Never used the magic wand, I just have a standard curling iron. The trick is to clip the curl into the curled up shape to cool down, and hairspray before you take it out then shape it whilst the hairspray is tacky/drying.

>>9092894
I'd put a semi permanent red (e.g
special effects) over to make it look more like an intentional ombre. The red should give a super subtle tint to your natural colour which blends it in more

>>9092894

Similar to >>9092911, except I'd just go straight for Manic Panic's brighter colours. You won't be able to avoid the regrowth look, but at least having a purple/green/blue head of hair looks more intentional. Choose a darker colour to further camouflage how dark your roots are, and be sure to match the colour to your wardrobe. If your normie wardrobe can take it you can even try multiple colours.

>>9092464
Thanks, but I don't think just a shorter version will look that good with my face
What kind of mousse+pomade do you use? I've never tried doing anything like that, if you feel like it, could you describe the process a bit more?

>>9092713
I'd side part it and undercut one side (possibly plus the back) depending on how thick your hair is, get long side bangs and face framing layers so you can go back to a middle part and hide the undercut if you want for girly stuff but then expose it for more androgynous and edgy styles. I wouldn't put too many layers in it though, and if you have thin and/or fine hair then just do a small undercut and maybe focus on doing one side or something so it looks intentional and not like hair loss

>>9093427
Derp. Picture sort of related

I have an undercut since 6 months Even if I love it and love the feeling to have super short hair on the back, I'm considering to let it grow back to normal. My mom who I thought was supportive, said something not that great about my hair to my aunty. It made me sad. She's one of the few people who's opinion count to me. People said not so pleasant things to me before and I didn't give a fuck.
I have a question, is it difficult to grow an undercut? A bang it's quite easy but I don't know what to expect here. I'm afraid having a short layer of hair underneath is gonna be super weird. Should I do a pixie cut or something?
Picture is not me but is what my hair looks like right now.

>>9093442
I had an undercut for over a year with the top long like the picture. Honestly, it was pretty damn annoying. I had long hair that would mostly stay straight and then curly short hair all around that was impossible to keep down.

I ended up getting a pixie cut because it was too bothersome to try and keep all the different lengths together and look good.

>>9093445
Thanks anon. I hope I'll be able to do it without that extra step . I don't want a pixie again. It took me a lot of time to have my hair mid-length.

How to deal with frizzy hair? My hair frizzes up like crazy if it'd humid outside or if I let it airdry after a shower. If I blow dry it or if I go to bed with damp hair it's fine and frizz-free. My hair doesn't seem damaged either, just frizzy.
I tried to google for solutions but all I found was pretty much "use more conditioner" and it hasn't helped. Should I use like hair masks? Leave-in conditioner? Get it trimmed(it's been a year since I last cut it)?

>>9093459
Same for me. There's no solution because it's genetic. The only thing that works for me is Japanese straight perm but it's so expensive.

>>9093459
Solidarity mate. I deal with mine by only washing it a couple times a week, and soaking it in coconut oil on the weekend before I shower. I've also taken to using coconut oil as a leave in rather than conditioner. Works better, and is actually cheaper than the conditioner I was using. Hydration seems to be the best cure. But what works for my hair might not work for yours. Experiment with different oils, argan was the devil for mine, camellia was ok, olive was too heavy, but coconut and my hair get along fine.

Requesting inspo for ass length hair with no bangs that isn't Fanny.

I'm having difficulty with my bangs. They're the right shape and all, but whenever I clip them up with a small clip like pic related, they get very crimped. My bangs are also crimped in the morning after going to bed after washing my hair. Even after styling them I feel like they look so off. Any tips for dealing with this?

>>9094055
I always wet my bangs and then blow dry them with a curled brush when they don't look right..

>>9093402
I'm not home right now so I can't look up the brand but I'm pretty sure it's some salon brand mousse like redken or whatever. My mom was a stylist so she hooks me up. The pomade is gatsby but I've also used redken which is a little stiffer. You just apply mousse when your hair is damp to the areas you are going to roll. I put a little pomade on my fingertips and work them into the ends and roots for a little extra oomph and staying power. Then you roll it and let it air dry. It's not a "fast" style, I do this to get my hair to dry correctly instead of in wacky directions. It makes any further maintenance easier. When I'm going out I still rely on my flat iron to curl my hair nicely, but for regular day stuff this suffices and is much less damaging.

>>9092669
Not a medical or money concern, just my hairdresser being super booked in addition to taking a week vacation. Early August is the only date that worked for us both. Its my own fault for waiting too long to book an appointment.

>>9094141
I'm assuming your natural hair is dark. You could look up what people do when growing out bleached hair. I think coloring your virgin hair a darker shade of the pastel would look nice but that of course involves doing this on your own unless you want to wait a month til your appointment, and will also make it harder for your hairdresser to re-color/bleach (if that's what you plan on doing). I've seen people use hair chalk on the bleached part closest to their roots, it's louder but still looks nice and helps soften the contrast IMO.

>>9094134
Thanks a bunch anon!! I'll look into getting everything and trying this out, if it works with my hair that would be great. Thanks again!

I had my hair dyed a few weeks ago, and I have been using special shampoo for dyed hair since then. however, my hair is much greasier than before. should I stop using that shampoo, or could something else be the problem?

Im a cosmetologist any questions?

How much student loan debt do you have?

>>9091257
I had no idea there was a difference between western and jfashion bangs! I never paid attention to it.
I've had bangs for a couple of months now, i'm going to check tomorrow morning what shape they are.

Thanks for making this guide anon

I don't know if this would exactly belong here, but what do you guys recommend for hair dye? I got extremely thick black hair and I'm trying to find a temporary dye that would hopefully show the colors well. Any suggestions would be quality.

What sort of hair style should I wear for a soft bonnet? My hair is cut in a hime cut and about collarbone length

I'm in the process of growing out my hair, like the 20th time. It's almost shoulder length now, and I feel like giving up already..

I feel like I just look really ugly with semi long hair, and that actual long hair will look just as bad, so I don't feel like waiting like one or two years more to get it to where I want and then just hate it..

I'm thinking of just giving up and getting a cut like in pic related or something, because I feel like short hair suits my face better

>>9097743
that style is incredible and that person is fucking beautiful...

who.......???

>>9097803
Sorry anon but I don't know.. I just found the pic on google
But I agree, she's fucking gorg

>>9097743

Why not try on a wig that's similar to your hair color/type but is longer? That way you can see if long hair is for you.

>>9097814
I have several long wigs, but they're thicker than my hair will ever be.
I think I look good/ok in them, but I'm not sure if I would look good with my kind of hair
A wig similar to my own hair would probably be really expensive

>>9097821
If your hair is shoulder length right now then you probably have an idea of how you will look with longer hair: basically, the same thing except your hair will be a little flatter (less voluminous) looking closer to your scalp due to the weight of your hair, and of course the length will be longer.

I have a feeling that you don't like how longer hair looks because you haven't figured out what hairstyle suits your face best. I had this issue when I got a pixiecut and it took a lot of messing around before I found a style that looked good on me. Try experimenting by parting your hair differently, adding layers, straightening or curling your hair, etc. Look up celebs that have your face shape and see what hairstyles look good on them.

>>9097855
Yeah probably. I'm fearing it'll look something like pic related, and it's very unappealing to me

I do like how my hair looks when I curl it, but it takes almost 30 mins to do it properly, and it's a real pain in the ass. Also very damaging ofc

> Look up celebs that have your face shape and see what hairstyles look good on them
Hm, good idea, I'll try that!
Thanks!

>>9097873
Oh, you have thin hair? Your current hair length is actually around where you want to be for thin hair so I wouldn't grow it out anymore. Long hair usually does not look as good because it makes it more apparent that your hair is fine. My roomies in college have fine hair and things they did to give it more oomph was to use mousse after showering and blowdry upside down. Before we went out, they'd use larger rollers at the top of their head to give it a little extra lift.

Giving your hair texture also helps it look more voluminous - there are texturizing sprays, you can also rock waves. Avoid really wispy ends/layers since it can make your hair look sparser - blunter cuts tend to make hair look fuller. Cameron Diaz has thin hair and if you look at her pictures, styles where her ends are blunter make her hair look full, whereas styles that are really choppy on the ends make her hair look more sparse. You will also notice that she almost always has some kind of curl or wave to her hair to make it look fuller, and a deep part with the thinner side tucked behind her ear.

>>9097008
No temporary dye will show up colour on black hair well.

>>9096587
What's your favorite color?

Its been about 2 weeks since I bought this shampoo at my local Jap grocery and I'm not sure if anyone's tried it but it leaves my hair feeling super dirty and like, not greasy but as if I didn't wash the conditioner out, trust me I've had over 10 showers within the 2 weeks and I've been rinsing thoroughly and even more thoroughly the first couple times I noticed it. I cant read Japanese so I have no idea if this is supposed to happen or if the shampoo isn't compatible with my hair or what aah.

If anyone has tried this brand in the different types or even this one I'm trying please enlighten me ;_;

>>9098226
Maybe this one is silicone-based and the one you used before wasn't? Just a wild guess though. Silicone based stuff basically leaves my hair feeling like that after washing it.

>>9091374
So.. umm.. let's say a straight cis white boy has hair that's about that long (or longer) and has naturally wavy/curly hair.

How do I ...err... he get it like the first couple pictures? My hair is always a frizzy god damn mess. When I lived in the desert it was fine but now it looks terrible.

I know fuck all about hair or hair products, I just want soft lady hair damnit.

>>9098262

Where do you live now? Could be humidity fucking it up, going from a dry desert to anywhere else.

>>9098265
I went from UTAH to mexico city/ and indiana on and off. Right now the humidity is 70% so I'm sure it's not helping me right now.

My hair is very much dry as fuck feeling when it use to be insanely soft. I need to get about 6inches trimmed to clean up the ends a lot but the dry/frizz isn't appealing at all :(

I could post pictures but my webcam makes it look better than what it is.

>>9096587
Have you ever been to Disneyland?

>>9096587
Why don't you have a real job?

>>9091257
As someone that just got bangs after not having them for 18 years, this is very useful.

>>9098278
>>9098280
gtfo samefag

>>9098262
>>9098265
>>9098269
ah fuck it.

Here is what happens. I can get it passable for 10-15 minutes and then it goes to shit instantly. Like, just dry as fuck and frizzy and the waves/curls get destroyed :(

I have tried letting the natural oils work and try not to wash it with shampoo/conditioner EVERY day but that didn't help. I've tried a little bit of conditioner and water before I sleep and that kinda helped but not really. I have tried "anti-frizz" spray but that dries out within minutes. I have seen "hair oils" but I don't even know what to do with any of these products.

I don't want straight hair, just the curls and waves to stay together ya know? I have been growing it for only a year and have had short hair my whole life but I like pretty lady hair. If I don't shave I get things like "you girls like a table?" or "welcome ladies" or "maam" all the time. Tickles the fuck out of me.

Mostly I like it because I can use myself as a reference for my work... which might creep some people out.

>>9098286
are you new?

>>9098226
I did a quick search of that shampoo on some japanese sites, and reviews on it are really mixed. it claims to be non-silicone, but some users insist that it does contain silicone because it leaves their hair feeling strange after use, but it seems like there are also plenty of rave reviews about it.

>>9097008
You could try Palty. I know it colors somewhat well since it's Japanese but it might not be as drastic as you want.

>>9098330
This happens to almost everyone. Have you tried mousse? Avoiding wind/touching it (yes even running your fingers through it) helps.

Also, hair spray is your friend for short frizzies near your part. Wavy hair with fine strands just sucks this way.

>>9098421
I do have fine strands yeah.

Also that succkssss. I have not tried mousse... seriously, I have never used any hair products in my entire life. I'm 28 now and I grew up on a farm surrounded by hillbillies and rednecks. No one had mullets here and even the girls don't use any hair products. Middle of god damn nowhere.

>>9098456
also, to add, the whole reason I even started growing my hair was so I could cosplay as the winter soldier. I look a lotttttt like bucky and have been trying to beef up. I loved the winter soldier when his comics came out in 2005(2006? was right when I graduated high school).

I ended up just liking lady hair.

So, can I get some haircut suggestions? I really wanna be QT in day-to-day life without having to put in a lot of effort or wear a wig every day but my hair is such a boring cut it's insane. Can anyone suggest any short seagull haircuts? I like cuts like >>9092713 but my hair curls crazily when it's short so I end up looking like the afro version of >>9092182

>>9098476
as a guy that loves short wavy hairy... I love the cut of the first girls. I just put in some others as "yay wavy hair" for shits and giggles.

It's probably not exactttlyyyy what you were looking for and... to be fair it's hard to suggest a hair style without knowing what kinda face stype ya got (That's not a stealth request, I'm just sayin').

>>9098660
>>9098466
>>9098456
can you please fuck off

>>9098661
you sound mad

I fucked up, gulls. I wanted to get rid of a little yellow from my hair so I toned last night using diluted purple color. Except I didn't realize the purple and silver tubes had switched boxes. So now I have silver hair with greenish/yellow streaks. I'm looking up how to remove color and it seems like I can fade it with anti-dandruff shampoo, dish soap, and vitamin C tablets. Does anyone know how much this will actually remove? I feel incredibly embarrassed to be at work looking like this; I just want this horrible color to be gone.

>>9091257
I have "normie" bangs and I have the exact same problem described in the guide, they look way too thick on me. What would be the best way to transition into j-fash bangs?

>>9099068
Dish soap & dandruff shampoo both work fine, they are designed to be very stripping so they will remove at least some color. Haven't tried the Vit C method. If you really need the green to be gone, use a VERY diluted red semi dye as a toner (stressing the "very" because this happened to me and I didn't dilute it enough, it just went red). Alternatively, use a box blonde color with reddish/coppery hues (this may be slightly damaging).

>>9098286
:^)

>>9099226
Dropped pic like a dumbass

Hey, I'm a ouji looking for a short (length) but LONG LASTING hairdo. I'm moving to Asia and I might not be able to find both English speaking and knowing how to cut naturally curly hair stylist.

Or just an advice how to get something like that so I could adapt something I know already.

>>9099219
Thanks, I didn't think about using red to get rid of the green. Luckily I ordered red the other day so I'll see how much I can strip via washing religiously before I try the red. Maybe I'll use enough to overpower the blue-ish silver into purple, and the green into pink. I could work with that.

So, I really like palty hair colors, but according to the internet they're really harsh for white people hair. How can I get the same effect without going to a salon or destroying my hair?
>>9099194
Luckily for you, it's a lot easier to transition from normie to jfash bangs than vice versa. Just draw a triangle with your comb from the sides of your bangs to the center of your scalp. Part so that all of the hair in that triangle is in one cluster and cut it all so it's the length of your current bangs. If your bangs are to thick now, just stop trimming the outer segments of your bangs and let them frame your face instead.
I hope that made sense. My English is shit today.

>>9100255
How curly is your hair anon? Can you post a picture?

>>9100255
Learn how to cut your own hair? I do it all the time

>>9101629
Palty is as you said very harsh on hair, even on asian hair. If you're going light to dark it should be no problem. The other way round will need lightening. It's best to get it done at a salon or with someone who knows what they're doing because some of those tones won't show if you haven't lightened your hair properly. It's best to do it properly than not at all in my books.

so gulls, I have black hair that's naturally slightly wavy. It's currently pretty long after growing it out (I cut it into a bob last year - it was pink, I spent a weekend partying and TL;DR: it dreaded). I have a few issues with it: it gets so oily extremely quickly; it get frizzy very quickly; it rarely holds teasing; always dry at the end/oily at the roots. I've dyed it twice since cutting it off last year, regularly trim it and still no joy.
I've tried Frizz-ease, Tresemme, 3 minute miracle, Tigi, and all the other 'wonder' products out there. I've even done that thing where you don't wash your hair with shampoo for a month (which sort of worked, but hair was still frizzy)
I'm at a loss, any leads would be appreciated so much
sorry for wall of text
pic related, my hair as of today. I washed it last night. ARghghhhhh

I want to achieve this look with the sidepieces, does this count as a hime cut? What should I tell my hairdresser? I have bangs and the rest of my hair is a uniform shoulder length, the side pieces are cut shorter and curled, right?

>>9105825
this would be considered a himecut at least modern day. Many of us on here have it. I would show them a photo, i brought a few photos in, but i would make sure you kind of have an idea how thick or thin you want them. I think generally you get them cut to your jaw or a bit longer and youll likely have to strighten and curl them daily. Ive gotten a lot of "are you sure you want to (re)cut them" from younger hair dressers especially if youre not near any major cities, so be prepared for them to challenge you.
I looked on instagram for himecut and found a few photos that i liked that weren't model shots.

>>9098226
personally i loved this brand the first time i tried it and then when i bought another bottle i felt it was the same as any other cheap brand in the US.
I think it may just be its not suited for your hair.

I have hair down to my lower back. Ive always had a bit of an issue with lack of moisture (my hair will like suck up all water and conditioner when applied so i often need a lot as said by a hairdresser) and it never looking silky or shiny.
Since im wanting to keep it long and healthy ive stopped dying it three years ago and only wash/condition it about twice a week. I dont get my hair wet when i dont wash it. Ive read not washing was better for your hair but my hair just takes so long (4-6 hours) to air dry that its such a burden to wash it more often. If i exercise or sweat heavily Ill wash it more often. I dont blowdry it as well because i heard it damages hair but i noticed when i do my hair feels much much soft and silkier.

I usually will use a salon shampoo and conditioner until it runs out, use a bottle set of store brand and then go back to a salon set of products. I read it was good to switch up products every few months. Usually ill use Paul mitchel tea tree or redkin from salons and change up the store brands. I would go back to redkin (in the green bottle) but to me it started smelling like hemp or something weird.
Does anyone have any suggestions on new salon products i should try?
Ive recently been using argon oil on my damp hair but not every time.

I just want it to be soft and silky like i see other girls hair looking. Also how do girls get their hair to smell nice all day? Ill see girls walk by or flip their hair and get a wiff of it and im sure my hair never does it.

>>9105848
Thanks for the help! I have a round-ish face so I suppose I'll cut them thicker. I'll definitely bring some pics in.

>>9091391
I don't understand how to do the braids they look like special braids, what are they called?

>>9099219
>>9100273 here, just letting you know I tried the red and holy shit you weren't kidding when you said VERY diluted red. I diluted literally a drop of red in a cup of conditioner and the test strand turned hot pink. Doubling that gave me a pale lavender on top of the silver which looks quite nice and got rid of the green tones beautifully. Thanks again for the tip!

>>9105797
>oily roots, dry ends
I have this problem sometimes and what I found really helps is actually making sure you apply conditioner to only your ends. I flip my hair upside-down in the shower and grab the ends to work the conditioner in. After working it into your ends, with the remaining conditioner that's stuck to your fingers/palms, kinda scrunch at your roots a few times then rinse it all while still upside-down. I also mostly wash my hair with warm/cool water - I'll give it a quick run under hot water (like a couple seconds) then finish rinsing with cool/lukewarm.
Switch up brands every now and then too, I rotate between 3.

If it helps, my usual shower routine is clip up my hair and keep it out of water while I do my shower business, then wet my hair, shampoo, do a quick rinse with hot water then finish with cool, conditioner, quick hot rinse then finish with cool again. My hair is bleached and colored so I basically don't let it touch water unless it needs to.

>>9105867
Try to deep condition your hair every now and then, it sounds like your hair is prone to dryness so a deep condition should help get it feeling silky soft. Paul Mitchell and Redken are good brands, I use those at home along with TIGI. Your hair smells good too right after a wash, you're just "blind" to it because you got used to the smell. My friend and I took a smelly cab once, he picked me up after I had showered. When we got out I commented that it really stunk in there and he told me it was fine after I got in because all he could smell was me.

>>9105797
>>9105867
>>9106110 again, for frizz control here are some tips:
>t-shirt toweling
Apparently the looped fibers from your towel aid to frizz (since they catch onto strands and pull at them), so you should actually use a t-shirt to dry your hair instead. I have not personally tried this but it sounds plausible.

>braid drying
When airdrying, braid your hair first as this helps flatten the cuticle and keeps everything neat. You will obviously have a wave in your hair afterwards, and it takes longer than usual to dry this way.

>cold water washing
Heat opens the cuticle, cold closes it. You want strands to be nice and smooth with closed cuticles for silky hair.

>mousse
Apply while hair is damp. Helps hold everything together.

>blowdry aimed downwards
When blowdrying, point the nozzle downwards. Work slowly, in sections, and use a round boar (bristle) brush. It pushes air in the same direction as the cuticle (so it flattens) and a stiffer bristle helps keep your hair from flying in every direction.

>regular trims
Shouldn't have to explain this. Keep your hair healthy by getting it trimmed regularly.

hey, do you gulls have any suggestions on haircuts for my face?

>>9106205
another so y'all can see my face in case that one's too shitty

>>9106205
Eyebrows are hair, so I feel this is relevant to the thread. Stop doing that to them. The shape is wrong for your face, they're too uniform, too harshly drawn, whatever product you're using is painfully obvious that they're drawn on, the colour doesn't match your natural hair. You're doing everything you could do wrong.

>>9105797
Alrighty

1) Oily at the top dry at the ends usually means you're shampooing wrong/using the wrong products. Do your hair a favor and get some high-quality clarifying shampoo (I alternate between a clarifying and another high-end shampoo). I've used both Paul Mitchell and Kenra clarifying shampoo (I like Kenra better, it made my scalp feel cleaner).

2) Alterna's Caviar line is an absolute fucking godsend. It's been over a month and I'm still using the shampoo/conditioner samples Sephora gave me and my hair is just perfect. Try to find a good clarifier first because I have a gut feeling you have some gunk from using drugstore (hence, dry ends). I also like Phyto.

3) for a more -ahem- affordable conditioner, I highly recommend Shea Moisture. If I condition first/shampoo the roots with the stuff it gives me a feeling close to the Caviar line; but since you have frizz issues you might need all the conditioning that you can get.

Sorry for taking so long

Something in between 2 and 3. Depends on weather.

>>9105040
It's hard to cut short wavy hair in specific ways or at least I imagine it'd be.

Do any gulls have recommendations for shampoos that help with dandruff/dry scalp? I've always had some flaking but it's gotten a lot worse recently and I'm not sure why. I'm planning to pick up some tea tree oil and try that out, but I'd like to have a good shampoo to mix it with. Of possible, less harsh is better because I color treat my hair on a regular basis and I know stuff like Head and Shoulders strips color pretty badly.

>>9106566
Get one of these!
If you want your hair to be perfect, then I guess it might not be for you, but it's actually really easy imo
I don't have experience of wavier/curly hair but, maybe flatten it first? Or cut it when wet?

>>9106216
yeah, i started doing them lighter a few months ago. these are old pics from my comp

anyone have advice on haircuts desu ka

>>9106846
coal tar shampoo. You massage it into wet hair, close to scalp, and let it set for 10 minutes or so. It's like head and shoulders, but more effective. The smell is terrible though, so follow afterwards with something nice.

I hope it's okay for me to ask but I'm getting a haircut and dye soon and wanted some help.

First cut is from the start of this year, second is now.

I know I want straight bangs but I definitely feel like the ones I had were way too heavy. Any tips on styles/what to ask for and color? I'm thinking of going brown but not sure what shade.

Can I request pics of hair that goes about to the shoulders?

Most of the hairstyles I see are either really long or bobs, and I'm trying to find some different ones with no luck.

What would be some cute medium/short hairstyles for lolita? I was going to grow my hair out for a hime cut but I just cant stand long hair so much.

>>9107337

>>9105848
To add what you said, you want to really stress out to them specifically what you want. I went to a salon recently for a hime cut, showed pictures and everything but she cut too much on the sides and more on one side then the other.. You'd think they can work with simple instructions but that's simply not the case and it's definitely not the first time a salon messed up on a haircut I asked for.

>>9107337
yeesh, both lots of bangs are way too heavy and that first one looks like a bad home job. Wispier bangs, definitely, and I wouldn't really get much length cut off your hair just a tidy up.

>>9105797
I think we have similar hair, i wouldn't say my hair is super silky and shiny but its a lot better than it used to be.
I wash only twice a week, shampoo only my roots and when you wash it out, let it rinse through the rest of your hair. My hair is coloured so i wash in cold water/slightly lukewarm depending on how cold the weather is.
I have also tried frizz-ease and tresemme but i find that the toni & guy reconstructing hair mask works as a conditioner far better. Use a lot extra on your roots and leave it in your hair for as long as you can be patient for, generally i try for 10+ minutes.
On days you want your hair to be nicer, i use Kiehl's silk groom serum. Depending on how thick/long your hair is, you will likely need to use more than the 1 pump they recommend which can be a bit pricey. I find that its very non greasy and leaves my hair just the bit more smooth and silky on the ends.

>>9107316
u don't like my question particle, bro?

>>9107838
>>9107838
What exactly should I say?

I tried to get a hime cut once and got about the same results as you :( I have no idea what to tell them other than showing them pictures

Do any of you have any you have experience with altering hair color worth scalp psoriasis? I've read mixed things about henna and it mostly reads like pr. Also not very jfash!

My natural color is kind of in between dark blonde and light brown. Kinda like baby poop.

I'm in the process of growing my bangs out and I'm at that annoying fucking stage where they're in the way all the time. What options do I have? I tried just clipping them to one side but I feel like it makes me look sloppy and lazy.

Does anybody have any real people photos of the hair like pic related. My hair is that length and I want to get it styled to match that

>>9109004
Clipping them straight back, using a headband to hold them back.

>>9098660

>as a man

dick or gtfo , no one cares about your opinion skank

>>9091306
Alright so I did my hair like this today and I was told I look like a "comic book girl" uh wat

Any more styles like this that can tame my thick, frizzy, unforgiving curly hair for this hot weather i'm stuck in?

>>9113452
People told me i looked like a giraffe...

>>9113452

Double bun is so cute tho! My only suggestion is maybe bangs or some hair framing your face.

Does anyone have any recommendations for good heat protectant? My birthday is coming up and I was thinking of straightening my hair for it (I haven't straighten my hair in a long time because I'm growing it out, but I figured one time on low heat wouldn't hurt).

>>9113452
They called you that cuz you're dressed like a child. That clip is awful.

>>9113452
Do the buns lower and start them with a french braid, or go for a single bun. High double buns reminds people of characters like Chun Li or Sailor Moon.

ok seagulls, I am going to a color consultation this weekend, and I'm getting anxious thinking about the price. Now I know she is going to give me an estimate, but I don't want to go in unaware.
I have virgin ass length hair that I am going to have them cut about a foot off and then dye into a lavender ombre. My hair is currently a light brown (lighter then pic related) and I will see if she thinks it will be more flattering with the roots darker because I'm undecided.
How long on average do you think it will take? They charge by the hour, and I'm budgeting for 2-3 but is that realistic?

>>9113881
Nope, I think you're looking at more like 4-5 for that length of hair. Cut alone will probably be half an hour, then they'll probably need to lighten your hair to get the lavender in (unless you're naturally pale blonde, most hair needs lightening for lavender), and then do the ombre and wait for that processing time, plus or minus darkening your roots. So you're looking at 2 dye jobs in one rather than one which is the usual 2-3 hours.

>>9113960
Cool, thank you for the info.
That pushes it a bit out of my price range...but they do offer a free haircut if you donate the hair, and I want to cut it so much anyway I may as well cut off the few extra inches and rock a bob for a bit if it will save me cash haha. Though I feel that may be exploiting the system I will have to see if they are down with it.

>>9091257
Going to get bangs for the first time in years this Friday, thanks for the guide!

Hi, I'm from the cosplay end of the board but thought this might be better put here. Has anyone got any tutorials that would help for Dask's hairstyle from the Doctor Who story The Robots of Death? It's clearly some sort of roll style but I've never seen anything like it before.

I dyed my hair in mid June.
When will it be safe to touch up? My roots are starting to show again.

I got my hair colored for the first time from black/dark brown to brown. I thought I would have it bleached first but it was a one-step process where she just applied the product on and washed it out. It cost 100$ and the end result was that I didn't really like the color since it was dark and didn't make much of a difference. My hair dresser said it would fade lighter to the color I wanted in a few weeks. Will it really even though she didn't bleach my hair light first? I thought that was the whole point of hair color fading... should I go back?

>>9091270
Wtf was this colour called?

>>9092201
I've done it three times now, and its worked out okay. Twice its looked like just kind of a pompadour, and the other time it actually looked like a faux -hawk. I usually do it on day two or three after washing my hair and I'll usually put some kind of volumizing product in there. I also pancake the shit out of my hair, especially on top.

>>9109004
You can french braid or twist them back too, to make them look more ~stylish~ I'll try to post pics when I get home for you.
>>9108976
Don't know much about psoriasis, but don't use henna unless you're 100% sure it's you want, cause it's crazy hard to get out.
>>9106213
Avoid hair above your shoulders or full larme style bangs; I don't think they'd frame your face well. If you want to add texture to your hair, stick to "beachy" waves or just keep it straight. Your current color is pretty flattering, so if you 2ant to dye it, try an ombre or subtle highlights or keep it warm and about the same level of darkness.

Looking for some hair product help. My hair looks exactly like >>9116627 except only boob length. I want to make it look less dry and frizzy, but since it's also rather thin I don't want to weigh it down too much or risk it looking greasy.
Afaik I already do everything "right" when it comes to washing and not drying it out further; only wash twice a week, only shampoo the scalp and condition the ends, cold or lukewarm water, air dry, sleep in braids, no coloring or bleaching, etc. My scalp isn't dry but gets oily after a few days. I'm currently using pic related for shampoo and conditioner but am in the market for something better if anyone has recommendations. I'm in Europe.

Does anyone have tips on getting blue out of hair? I used pravana vivids to dye my hair and it's starting to fade very unevenly; I can't bleach because my hair is already at the breaking point. Is there a way that helps it fade faster?

>>9117557
If you just bleach your roots then it shouldn't be a problem since the roots haven't been bleached before either way
But usually one or two weeks is what is advised to wait, if enough time has passed that you've started seeing your roots then it shouldn't be a problem

>>9117862
Try salon brands? Next time you cut your hair ask for suggestions? Redkin worked well for me but this was after trying other brands with not so great results. Personally I had allergic reactions from the scent of OGX and it made all of my hair feel terrible.

My only real suggestion would be to use argon oil. Personally I use the Moroccan brand (blue label with orange text) when it's wet and feel a noticeable difference with softness compared to when I don't use it.

>>9117874
Did you even try google? Head and shoulders, dishwashing liquid, colour stripper....

>>9117862
I'm trying out Pureology's Hydrate line after using OGX for a while and it's made a difference. OGX isn't terrible like absolute bottom shelf products, but it does still contain a lot of wax fillers and not a high enough concentration of actual hydrating ingredients to make up for tge pils you strip during shampoo. I also have fine hair and the switch has helped me with with frizz as well as oil buildup. I can wash my hair every third day now as opposed to every other day.

>>9117592
It will fade a little bit lighter, but watch out make sure this fade is even and that you don't get too brassy. She probably applied a color which has a 10volume developer in it. (This is the strength that most box dyes have.) For most hair colors this strength won't give you "lift" to a lighter color shade, but it does remove some of your natural color and makes the hair more receptive to dye. Give it a week or two of showers and see if you like it. If it's still too dark or strange, complain.

>>9117557
i usually wait until i have 1/2-1" of roots

>>9118047
ogx has a huge variety of formulas and while some of them do have too many fillers, i've had a lot of luck with the coconut milk and argan oil conditioners

What's the best remedy for severe dandruff? I've tried aloe vera gel, that was alcohol free. But unfortunately it dried out my hair, and I didn't see any reduction in dandruff. I have tried out anti-dandruff shampoos in the past, yet I've had no success with them. Can anyone recommend an anti-dandruff shampoo? Preferably one that's available in the UK. I've heard Indian Lilac (neem) is beneficial– does anyone have any experience using this to treat dandruff?

>>9118143
It depends. Dandruff can be caused by a few different things: oily scalp, dry scalp, or a skin infection (I think it's fungal?). Most dandruff shampoos are designed to treat the fungus, so if you've tried multiple dandruff shampoos and they haven't worked, it's probably something else. I used to have dandruff because of a dry scalp and cowashing helped a lot.

>>9118143
I have dandruff and I've found what works best is shampoo with tea tree oil. The best one I've used is Generic Value Brand, it's super cheap but cleansing and moisturizing at the same time. I'm American but hopefully you can find it.

If that doesn't work then talk to your doctor, at one point I had medicated dandruff shampoo prescribed.

My hair is only about as long as the base of my neck now so I can't try this but maybe someone else will find it useful

>>9118149
I have an oily scalp, and unfortunately co-washing wasn't beneficial for me. I don't think it's a fungal infection? My scalp isn't sore, and I can't see any signs of fungus. I think the cause, as you suggested is due to my oily scalp.

>>9118152
Thank you, anon. I was debating whether to try a shampoo containing tea tree oil. I'll give that a go, and if that doesn't work I'll consult my doctor, as you suggested. I just want to be flake free!

My house is supplied by its own spring water. I've lived in various areas, and I haven't noticed a change in my dandruff due to the water quality. So I don't think that's the cause?

>>9113881
Reminder. Even though you are on a tight budget, don't forget to figure in the tip(s) if you live in a country where tipping is the norm. 15-20% of the total for the main cut and coloring services and about $3-5 additional if there is another person who does the shampoo.

>>9092202
There are semi and demi permanent filling colors and sealing treatments they can use on porous hair as a temporary measure so it looks nicer until your damage grows out enough to get gradually trimmed off. Check with a salon that specializes in color to see the options they suggest.

>>9118619
Have you tried massaging in a scalp treatment oil to loosen the dandruff before shampooing? It takes 3-4 treatments to show some improvement and see if it will work for you. Scalp masques might be beneficial too. If these do not work, I would also suggest going to the doctor or dermatologist.

I have hair pulling disorder, going to therapy for it currently, how do I deal with baby hair and uneven hair length? Just keep trimming it?

I get "princess leia" from double buns when I was wearing a sailor moon shirt, goods and head piece.

>>9118667
Yes. Wigs or hats might help you along a bit too. I'm glad you are getting help, anon!

>>9108976
Yeah, I have scalp psoriasis and I dye my hair pretty much like normal desu. Your plaques will probably be dyed/stained the same color when they flake off for the first few days, and if you use bleach it'll sting like hell, but other than that I haven't had any issues. I've read some people like henna because it feels it helps their psoriasis, I tried just plain henna with no real color and didn't feel it helped much tho.

>>9119617
There's nothing special about her hair, it's just a bob with straight bangs. It just looks all fluffy and cute because of the art style. Make sure you google "bob with bangs" and then when you find a good pic, ask your stylist if your hair type is compatible and how you can style it everyday.
And make sure you get the proper kind of bangs for your face!

Maybe this anon?

Could anybody help me finding a good hairstyle for me? In my job my boss always ask me to have hairstyle but since I have this short hair for me is kind of complicated

anyone have cute inspo pics or suggestions for hair cuts that can be worn down that are low key cute (still kinda normie)
i recently got a new job and my hair has to be down at all times with no extra hair clips or bobby pins and for the past few years ive been wearing my hair up or with bows/clips pretty much everyday so im really out of my element
(ive already saved all the medium hair pics, thank you anon!)

second question: slightly related
how do you cut the rest of your hair when you have bangs? do you layer it or leave it long or just try not to touch it? should your face shape have any bearing on the decision?

>>9121241
to answer your second question, I would say it's all up to preference. Do you think your heir looks better long, layered, short, etc...? What looks best on you/makes you feel good? Face shape does change the aesthetics, but you should be able to tell yourself what is most appealing. If you're going to have a job where you can only wear your hair down, also consider how much effort you put into your hair. If you don't do anything with long hair, it can look messy whereas short hair can be easily cool and casual. Although, if you have long hair you can do more things with it (like curling, pulling off a more sophisticated look, etc) when short hair is already limited enough as it is with the use of hair clips, pins, and so on.

It really just comes down to: What fits your face best? What makes you feel best? And, to what extent are you willing to put effort/time into your hair?


(also, how long is your hair now?)

Where's the one for guys?

There's so many guides for cosplay but it seems that it's one of the things that get overlooked.

>>9121253
ultimately, i think straight or slightly curved bangs with no layering looks the cutest regardless of the texture of the rest of the hair (straight, wavy, curly, w/e) however a lot of articles ive read about oval face shapes suggest layering it to break up the length of your face
i also think bangs with no layers look a lot better on hair longer then mine, so it can balance out how heavy the bangs are with the length of the rest (which is why im considering extensions)

ill sell my soul to anyone who has a trick they swear by to give hair volume when it refuses to hold a curl.
currently it only curls at the ends on its own. upwards for whatever fucking reason
pic related was straightened before i left for work ~2 hours before photo was taken
its a little bit below shoulder length right now but i plan on growing it out/possibly getting extensions soon for the sake of the job, though the curling at the ends has me worried about how well it would work with extensions

should i let it be till i try extensions? ive never had extensions before but im assuming i'd have to layer my hair so they would blend in and it would probably be easier for the stylist to start with a "fresh slate"

any other tips, styling or haircut ideas would be super appreciated!

Looks like a 'Japanese' bob with long layers to me, the fluffiness comes from blow-drying and styling.

>>9121468

>>9121470
Just to add, the layers seem subtle, it's not heavily layered all over, just some long layers scattered through for added texture - it helps give the cute fluffy appearance when you style it.

Are wig questions ok in here? If so, what sort of wig would you suggest for Larme style if I want to cover bright hair that doesn't fit the style?

Yes! I have a round face as well as a hime cut, and the short strands fall at chin length. It doesn't exaggerate the roundness at all. (Which was pleasantly surprising to me, it's the best haircut I've ever had.)

What type of hairbrush is suitable for a sensitive scalp, with long, fine hair that tangles easily? I'm currently using a paddle brush, that has lots of plastic bristles. Would a boar bristle brush be more suitable, or would my hair benefit from a wooden brush?

I'd just like to say thank you; I have tried an oil massage treatment in the past, but as it didn't work for me, and therefore I never thought to revisit using an oil again. After reading your suggestion I was prompted to try this method again, and after a little bit of research I realised the first time round I used the incorrect oil. I've since tried massaging oil into my scalp a further two times, and I've managed to remove quite a bit of my dandruff. I've been using a rosemary hair rinse after each wash too, and whilst my dandruff is still visible, I can definitely see a reduction.

I'm also looking into hair masques too. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you for all your help!

I have straight bangs and straight but thick hair.
Is it possible to make my hair thinner with scissors? It's like a wall on my forehead which makes my face look very harsh.

Post a pic? Depending on how severe you layers are, just some strategic curling and the hair drawn up from the sides with bobby pins could work. That was my favorite look when my hair was that short. Added a pic that's a bit longer than shoulders, but might still work.

Check out the bangs guide at the top of the thread, but tl;dr is that your bangs need to be a smaller section is of hair fanned out more. Put down the scissors for now. You need grow them out a little, re-establish your bangs section, and then start cutting.

>>9124220
I have cut my bangs according to the guide, but the hair just falls straight down instead of fanning out.

Does anyone have any recommendations for clip-in bangs?

Has anyone ever used John Frieda's Frizz Ease - Air Dry Waves? I'm trying to cut out heat styling products but I'm at a bit of a loss for where to start with air drying products.

Anon, go to a hair salon and have them cut your bangs. Watch what they do, and then go from there on your own when they grow out again. You will notice most likely they will use a razor or thinning shears to take out some of the bulk, and give your bangs shape.

I have shoulder-length, heavily layered hair. Is there anything I can do with it aside from pigtails/ponytail? I tried curling my hair and my hair wouldn't hold the curls.

I've secretly loved the scene kid hair fashion since 2007, and it took an ugly, jealous, poorfag phase to let go of my pride and admit it.

I think the scene hairstyle would look so cute with goth/pastel goth/ menhera type fashion.

Does anyone know who the girl in the picture I posted is? I've reverse image searched but can't locate her on any social media and I want to stalk her profile and follow her style so badly that it hurts.

If no one knows her, then can anyone recommend another scene person to stalk online? Ever since MCR played me like a fiddle with their anniversarial shenanigans, my inner emo is shamelessly itching to be released again. Please and thank you in advance, seagulls.

Oh, and I posted this because I plan on getting my hair cut like this. Any tips and advice would be delightful.

>>9126109
You will need extensions because ain't nobody got enough volume for that shit irl.

>>9126131
So that's how they get it so fluffy. Okay now I'mma go look up hair extensions. Th anon.

color stripper uses developer, which damages hair. Head and shoulders only helps so much; I'm was asking specifically for people who had Pravana Blue in their hair, which seems to be harder to remove than many other dyes that I've used.

>>9119617
Oh hey I actually have this hairstyle right now. I didn't really know it was going to turn out like Mirai's hair, but I just asked for a layered bob because it's been so hot out. My layers are kind of long, like in >>9121473
My hair stylist also cuts based on people's facial structure and personal style, so she said she thought the haircut suited me so that's why she gave it to me.

>>9121092
What do you mean your boss asks you to "have a hairstyle"? What's wrong with just wearing your hair down or however you usually have it?

>>9106213
please fix your eyebrow make up. It looks uneven, and the right one looks like an apostrophe.

those are your only options. you're just going to have to wait it out if you don't want to bleach it. in my experience prell works way better than head and shoulders if you go that route.

What would be good bangs to go with this cut? My hair is pretty much that texture naturally and I don't mind straightening my bangs every day, but I don't know what would go well with it.

>>9106213
Those poor eyebrows, not a good look.

>>9126431
Depends on your faceshape

>>9127095
Sorry, forgot to mention that. I have an oval face shape.

>>9107337
The bangs on the left look really awful. Left has a good shape but are much too heavy.Definitely get them thinned out and shaped.

>>9126431
Pretty sure anything will look fine, but something like pic related might be cute?

can someone recommend a good store for clip in bangs? preferably in blonde but i'm interested in trying out unusual colors as well. already asked this in lolita general but i'll probably get a better response here.

>>9126431
anything, really

>>9106566

I'm type V.
Can anyone offer suggestions for cute, everyday wear that isn't pulled up into a ponytail slathered with gel?
I'm really envious of all you gals with straight hair. All I can do is wear a limit number of select styles without spending 60+ dollars at a salon.
Thinking of getting a wig also, but being mixed with brown skin makes me feel really ashamed of considering one.

>>9128525
Just get a color that suits your skin color.

>>9128527

Yeah, the darkest shade of black I can find while also appearing real and natural I guess. I'd rather save the wig as a last resort type thing.

>>9106566
My hair is around III here, I pretty much ruined it all a few years ago but the progress has been quite amazing. I stopped bleaching the shit out of my poor fried hair and just put some random brown on top of it so I could grow my natural color back. My hair has been growing like crazy and even more when I stopped using heat on everything else but my bangs. I also got a nice ombre on top of that. I have been cutting my own bangs for a long time now and my face shape could definitely profit from hime cut. Would the classic one work with my hair type or would it look odd? Should I just stick to shorter side pieces?

>>9128532
You could also use very dark shades of red and brown.

>>9128536

I'm not so sure about brown, there. Wouldn't it look a tad bit off being similar in color to mine?
