Hair General

New hair general thread.

I'm at a loss, gulls.

I currently use the Caviar Exfoliating Scalp Facial once a week as an anon recommended and I like it. The little bristles on the bottle really help distributing the product. For shampoo I recently switched to Aveda Rosemary Mint and no matter how hard and meticulous (IMO) I scrub I get little white flakes near my scalp. That doesn't happen with the Caviar. I also get some buildup/oil the next day after using any kind of shampoo.

I wash my hair every 2 days and only use a detangler (DIY made of coconut shampoo and water) while my hair is wet and some The Body Shop oil once my hair is dry. Nothing else touches my scalp.

Without seeing how I wash my hair, what could be going on? Is the shampoo just shit?

How do you refer to this style of bangs? Where the hair is a little curved/not straight but they have more coverage than what google gives you for side bangs.

Does /cgl/ have any haircare masterposts? I know /fa/ is a bit more organized with their masterposts and infographics, but that's not really useful for women's hair.

We have these threads all the time so I'm wondering if there are any go-to guides for healthy hair with different hair types.

Those are "layered" bangs. Have your stylist (or you if you trust yourself) use a straight razor when cutting your bangs. They also grow out pretty nicely when you cut them this way.

Holy shit no anon, it's not a straight razor. It's pic related, they are similar to eyebrow shaping razors(actually pretty much the same thing it's what I use) and they're definitely not the same thing as a straight razor.

My hair gets super greasy easily. I normally wash it everyday seeing as I have no choice (I tried to not wash my hair for a while, then wash it and see how it was, but it still got greasy...)

Thinking about straightening one of my curly lolita wigs
The problem I have with this wig is that it's way too voluminous on top and makes my head look bulb shaped. It's almost hourglass shaped for a wig, if that makes any sense.
I'm worried straightening it will just make it worse - it's really hard to style for my long face shape. But I want a long brown wig and already have this wig I don't know what to do with so maybe it's a good idea? Like straightening it might take away the weird middle indent it has before forming curls.
Pic wig is kind of similar. I know there is a wig help thread, but it's all cosplay and this is a more lolita/jfashion related question. I know how to straighten it I just don't know if I should.

Try gentle shampoo and then dry shampoo every other day? I've heard it's possible to gradually reduce the need to wash even oilier hair but it takes time. When you do wash, try just keeping the shampoo on the scalp and a bit down, don't pile your hair up on your head to wash and then just let the bubbles run through the rest of the length. Most of the oiliness is near the scalp.

I have a bad scalp picking habit due to stress and I don't know how to stop.
It has thinned out my hair even more than it naturally is and it's especially noticeable in a patch on the top of my head.
I don't know what it is but I just have this need to take the scabs off which obviously means occasionally ripping out strands of hair at the root.
Is there anything anyone would recommend to help get some thickness back into my hair, or am I just fucked? I hate that I do this but I'm having trouble stopping. I don't know why.

I do this too, but it's due to boredom. I got chemical burns from bleach(stylist's fault) and after that I would just pick at them and they scabbed over. This was about a year ago...they're still here. I have a thick head of fine hair so you don't notice the spots, but the same thing happens. I just have a compulsion to pick scabs normally too so this is worse, I'll search through my hair to find fresh scabs and it's really creepy to me...

So I have ridiculously thin hair. Like I can pull it all back into a single braid about as thick as my index finger. I have about a heart shaped face(closest I think in shape) my bangs are a bit past my eyebrows, and my hair is about mid back.

Is there any haircuts that could work for me, or am I going to either have to either cough up a bunch of cash for extensions or just learn to love my wigs?

[Anonymous No.8215599]

>>8215587
Doing it in a regular bob is good and if you wear sweet, use a bigger curling iron and give the front of your hair big soft curls, if you do classic or gothic take your hair and make a braid and loop it in with the accessory or across the top of your bangs.

I dunno if this might help but I think a pixie cut would be great for you. The shorter your hair the thicker it'll appear. Then if you missed having length you could throw on a wig with minimal to no fuss. Either that or extentions I suppose.

My face shape is ugly, not to mention I have shit genetics and have a tiny bit of extra skin under my chin due to gaining so much weight this past year (stress eating is a bitch). Pulling all my hair up not only looks bad but it makes the problem worse because I still attempt to pick my scalp through the tied up hair, which ends up pulling it more. It really has become a shit habit.
On top of that my hair is so thin and fairly short so a bun has no volume and looks horrid regardless of where i make it sit on my head.

Thanks for the suggestion though, I really appreciate it.

Unfortunately mental disorders can cloud your judgement on seeking help or make you think you don't deserve it, but you absolutely do! Just try to set up some counseling to talk to someone, it will make you feel a lot better! If you're a student your school probably has some free/cheap options available.

And maybe buy some cute berets and stuff like that to wear for now? Also I'm sure your face is cute, but you could leave some side pieces down when you put it up? And you can buy things meant to add volume/extra hair to buns!
Yeah you can get those vitamins at any drug/grocery store. They're for pregnant ladies but a lot of people use them for quicker hair growth.

Thanks, Anon. I'll try. i'm not in school t the moment, but i'm looking into taking upgrade courses. If I can get free/cheap options as a student I will absolutely take advantage of them.

I have an unfortunate face structure that doesn't work well with thin hair. I don't have enough hair to take advantage of those cute little bun helpers, though. I have at least 3 or 4 different ones and none of them help since my hair is so thin. Regardless, you made me feel really nice and I'm going to do my best to find out more about these vitamins and maybe try to get a few cute accessories for my hair.

A bit of teasing, or a "bumpit" or a bun maker is what people with thin hair use. And the more you style your hair up, the sooner your hair should start to grow back right?

Thank you so much for the suggestions!
Unfortunately the noticeable patch is right on the top of my head so I think the only style that'd work would be the one on the bottom left in the second scan you posted. I can't do braids well cause they always end up being small and just taking up extra hair that I could be using to better try to hide the fact that my hair is disgustingly thin. i just don't have a lot of hair to work with in general even though it's collarbone length.
The only updo that I feel looks decent on me is a teased ponytail since I don't have enough hair to do any of those cute "tie some up, leave some down" looks.
I hope it doesn't sound like I'm trying to deflect ideas or just whine.... I really do appreciate it and will try out what I can! I just probably have shittier hair than you think is all.

I think have the same hair style as you! I have mid back length hair and side locks to go with my bangs. Here are some styles I do:

>Headbands!
I love how they look separating my straight bangs and locks from my curliness. Sometimes I like to fluff up my hair all big like a lion, sometimes I like to use a lot of conditioner and styling cream to make my curls more defined. When being fluffy, I feel like my bangs + headband kind of anchor it down and make the frizziness look intentional and fun.

>High pony tails and tall big buns
One benefit of curls is our volume. I love to pull my hair up and then tease it a little bit (or a lot a bit). Sometimes I stick a bow, headband, or something at the base.

>Braids
I love french braids since it pulls in all the little bits and pieces of my hair. And I don't know about you, but when I braid my hair, it kind of just stays. My hair is not slick. Plus it's great for sleeping and makes your curls lots of fun when you take them down.
>Simple double french braid (my go-to)
>Starting a french braid at my right temple and going down to the left of my nape and down my shoulder
>Spiral Braid Bun
Same as above, but instead of pulling all of the hair into the braid, make a path and follow a spiral shape curling up around into your whorl. My hair still has length once I reach the middle, so I braid it to the end, and curl it around into a bun.
Pic related to give you a sense of what I mean, but I do it on myself with and my hair frizz+thickness it's fun and messy. I also leave my bangs out. I've seen some spirals start at the whorl and go out, but I find that really hard to do on myself.
Takes some time, tires out your arms a bit, and requires a lot of bobby pins, but pretty fun if you feel like it. I use it underneath wigs a lot too.
>Starting a french braid at the front with three tiny pieces of my bangs, and then pulling in strips of hair. Pull all the hair in a 1" strip connecting behind your ears to your center part.
This tucks your bangs into the french braid if you want it pulled back for a day.
>Regular braids from your temple pulled back and tied/pinned behind your head.
>Braid crowns/bands
I never do these, but they seem easy and cute.

The best thing to do is watch lots of videos, look at lots of pictures, until what is happening with the hair clicks. Next you just need to practice a lot. Until you figure out how to manipulate your fingers and hair into doing the concept that you now understand.
I find double french braids a lot easier than just one big braid. There's more of a "flat" surface to work on and the hair is traveling a shorter distance. If you haven't regular braided your hair before, do that a lot until you get the hang of what's going on with your fingers. Try doing it backwards for a few passes, ie holding your hands behind your head, separating your hair into three sections, and doing a simple braid as far as you can. You might not be able to get far, but you're practicing the whole holding three (or more) things in two hands deal.

I can't fully describe what's happening with my fingers, but in a french braid you'll need to hold the three strands between separate fingers of one hand, use your other hand to pull more hair from your head, then combine it to one of the three strands in your other hand, then use both hands to pass one strand over between the other two and pull everything tight.

Hm. You can probably get those thin 80s bangs. That way you have the no-bangs look while having bangs, if that makes any sense.

>>8219406
I honestly think a fringe like this (cut fractionally shorter so less in the eyes) >>8213616 would suit you more, or if your hair is thick enough, you could just embrace the 'half face half bangs' look. You also wouldn’t need to have the bangs cut from as far back as a lot of people would need to, in order to achieve the same look. I'd avoid going for super straight and blunt though, a bit of softness would look great.

You're cute as shit btw, all my jelly etc. I also agree with the anon that recommended filling in your eyebrows more, I think it would frame your face beautifully, even if they only sometimes peaked out from beneath bangs.

Definitely talk to your hairdresser about it too, a decent one should understand face shapes and hair thickness/texture when it comes to choosing the right bangs.

if your eyebrows are pale compared to your hair, you could always dye them with specialist eyebrow/eyelash dye, I do this to mine and it makes a big difference and gradually fades over time without looking patchy. It also makes filling them in easier too.

I would have gone a little shorter so the end of the bob falls closer to the middle of your face. You have high, well defined cheek bones so it would really bring them out.

If you want something easier to mange you'll have to go ahead and get a relaxer to straighten it out. Or just blow dry and press the hell out of your hair daily. Honestly it wouldn't look too bad on days you wanted to go curly as long as you do a twist out the night before.

I have thin hair from years of using birth control (the pill)
I went off of it a few months ago for insurance stuff and I noticed a lot of new hair growth, since I've been on it since age 13 for severe cramps and heavy bleeding this is so great to me.

However, on top of not having any real sex with my boyfriend for months, I've been getting really painful ovarian cysts. I looked into getting an IUD because it only releases hormones locally in the uterus instead of throughout your body like an implant, patch or pill would.
However my dr said it was a lot more likely an IUD would dislodge because I've never had kids or been pregnant.

Long story short my only reasonable option is to go back on the pill. I'm really terrified my hair is going to start getting really thin again. Is there really any way to cushion the blow? Vitamins? Anything?
I would really appreciate any help
My normal routine as of now is washing my hair once every 2 or 3 days (my scalp gets really oily so this is probably the max I could do)
Also does anyone know how to reduce the amount of oil that the scalp produces?

My hair's too thin to use those little bun donuts too, I bought a crimping iron/ backcombing brush (it seemed less scary than those backcombing combs that look like torture devices) to help with bun achievement.

My hair's pretty fragile along with being thin and pathetic, so for buns I:
>Put hair up in ponytail/ pigtails
>For maximum volume buns, I lightly crimp then very lightly backcomb the ponytail
>For everyday volume, just lightly backcomb
>Roll up into donut bun thing
>fluff, pin, hairspray

Removal is wash>condition>detangler>gently comb out.

I've got bald patches on the sides of my head that show when I pull my hair back (from seborrheic dermatitis/picking habits. I got rid of the dermatitis a couple years ago with good shampoo but the baldness stayed.)

I'm the original caviar hair shit anon. I usually wash my hair every three days or so now because I don't really use much product. I use organix coconut milk shampoo because it's SLS free so it won't dry my scalp, if you get a tangle teezer or offbrand brush in that style you can massage the shampoo onto your scalp to pick up any flakes. I uses ion color care conditioner because I've had my hair dyed purple lately. I save the caviar stuff for when I feel I'm getting a lot of flakes that the regular care can't take care of, about once a month. My main problem is that my scalp is so dry, my hair isn't even greasy before I wash it. I've tried oiling my scalp before and it just sits on my head and doesn't sink in, this is the only routine that works for me.

I forgot to add, if you use conditioner, I've noticed it helps me a lot to put it all the way up to the scalp rather than just on the ends. If you're oilier than me I'm not sure how that would work.

As for the conditioner I've been trying a DIY Wen method where you mix 1 part shampoo to 2 parts conditioner and later it on the scalp and I think that's been helping too. I wonder why we're always told to avoid conditioner getting on the scalp.

A lot of the cause of normal dandruff is a fungus, so most dandruff treatments focus on that. (Head and shoulders, tea tree, etc.) Conditioner adds further moisture to the scalp and can give a better environment for that fungus to grow on people with normal to greasy scalps. It can also sometimes weigh hair down and cause your hair to be greasier faster. My flakes are caused by a dry scalp and possibly mild psoriasis so things that treat normal dandruff treatments exacerbate it by drying the scalp out. I can't seem to get enough moisture, so I just gently scrub the flakes away and try to let conditioner sink in a bit before I rinse it. I also work really hard to not scratch at flakey patches because that can cause hair loss and irritate the scalp more, I'm a compulsive picker so I'll try and scratch until it bleeds if I don't watch myself.

Also before you recoil in horror because of fungus on your scalp, anons who have non-dry dandruff, it's normal. Dandruff happens when it grows too much, like a yeast infection of the head. It doesn't make people dirty.

It's basically a part line forming from your bangs. The same thing happens to girls who wear their hair on one side/one way every day.

To help stop it, start wearing your bangs differently if you can, comb them back and pin them that way. Try not to wear your bangs the same way every day. Eventually hair might grow back but if not, you're pretty much just preventing a worsening case

It is a shape made from hair (although they are generally a weird synthetic material those days) that you can use to help style your hair. Such as a hair doughnut or one of those things you would shove under a hime bump. In ye olden days, women would collect the hair that accumulated on their combs and then tie it into shapes that would be used to add volume to their hair.

I know a lot of lolitas are into old timey remedies and shit like that.

It's pretty normal to lose some hair, especially if you have thick hair to begin with.

It really depends on what other 'symptoms' you're having - if it only happens around that time of the month, you might want to consider birth control pills. If it's going on constantly and you feel tired, dizzy etc. then you should probably go and get a blood test.

Normally ladies had their hair permed when they bobbed it in the olden days. You should look into that if this is the effect you want, although I think you can also just curl it normally every morning.

It sounds like your hairdresser was just shitty. Sometimes (especially at high end places) they just have 'their vision' and won't accept what the customer wants. I went to a really fancy place for a dye test and they bitched about the 'quality' of my hair and ridiculed me until I agreed to let them cut it. I walked out of there looking like a poodle.

My hairdresser also mentioned that once you hit a certain length (I forget what because I didn't really want to go that route but it was still pretty short and achievable without a long frump phase) you can just get extensions.

If you take care of your hair right after you bleach it it shouldn't take that much damage. But if you wanted to do it without bleach you could dye over your natural hair and it would give you a nice dark tint. Nothing really vibrant though c:

[Anonymous No.8248776]

>>8247648
Yes, but it will stay a dark red tone in indoor lighting (not very obvious). It'll look like dark reddish brown in normal lighting, and you only really see a lighter reddish tone in the sun.

From personal experience this takes more than one application of dye for the red to really pop, and even then it's still a darker hue compared to if you bleach. On the plus side though, as you go back to do your roots every so often, you can use the same color dye you used before and lather more than just the roots, that way after every application your hair will become a tad bit lighter and the color more obvious.

Honestly though I think you should just use normal dye and not bleach your hair because roots are really troublesome and kills your hair (I had bleached ash blonde hair for two years and the toning and bleaching upkeep for roots every month = really troublesome and expensive).

I don't want to post my face for obvious reasons, but if if it can be answered without it, would I be suitable for side bangs? I kind of wanted them like pic related.

My bangs currently go down to my lips. I have a smallish forehead about 3 fingers long, a large, wide nose and a round face. I've read that girls with big honkers aren't going to look so great with bangs.

If that doesn't help, can somebody offer some suggestions? I don't know what to do with them as they are and hate how they look. I've tried braiding, pinning up and just simply tucking behind my ear. I have thick hair, so it tends to look thick on the bottom and flat on the top even when I flat iron it. Exposing my forehead just accentuates the roundness of my face and I personally dislike the look of it.

Anon I cut my hair short about three years ago (although I was very happy with it). It takes some getting used to. My tips would be to play around with styles, as I'm sure styling it a different way would make it work; make sure your eyebrows are done (i.e. neat, filled in, good shape), for some reason I find it harder to hide my face's "flaws" with short hair, which may be the issue you're having; and, most importantly, remember that if you really hate it, you can grow it back out with great ease.

I decided to grow it back out about a year ago. My hair grows quite fast, but here's my progress in just over a year (pic related), so you can see that growing it back out is still an option that won't be awful.

I'm not hair expert, but I do think you have plenty of split ends. You have fine hair, though, so they're probably easy to hide. If it needs to be a little healthier for donation, trimming off an inch or two would probably do wonders.

I'm always looking for hair recommendations because I tend to have the same look year after year.

I mean, it's still chemical dye, but use 40 volume developer and salon dye and let it develop in your hair at least 40 minutes, depending on how long your hair is. I had waist length hair when I first tried that kind of color for a split dye job in a salon, and it took 70 minutes to color properly, if I recall. I have a boy cut now and do it at home. I use Goldwell or Matrix SoColor red violets. Rinse with cool water and condition the crap out of it. Try to not wash your hair for at least two and a half days after dying.

Another tip: you're going to still want to get a bottle of temp dye to maintain the vibrancy of the violet tones. Your hair will get brassy as time goes, partially because of sun exposure. Alternatively, you could use a tinted shampoo or conditioner, but doing a full re-dye will get it really vibrant. I just dyed mine again to that color at the start of the month, and it's pretty auburn now.

You'll need a perm if your hair isn't wavy to achieve this look. I've had a similar haircut for a long time, so I know from personal experience.

If you have naturally curly hair you'll get a slightly different look but if cut with the right layers, should be able to style it in a similar fashion.

Once you have your hair permed all you need is a little bit of wax and you style it into your hair like so in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4U1RbK9b6Y

It's a slightly different cut than in the tutorial, you just need to make sure you style the side parts inwards towards your face instead of outwards for a girlier look. Hope this helps!

>>8268208 My hair is ever so slightly wavy when it was long, and it's just thick as fuck and fluffy (asian hair) , but probably not curly enough to get that look. I'm a pretty poor student and I don't think I can afford a perm, but I'll try out the stuff in your video, thanks for the help!

How long is your hair? You can always tease it to add volume to the bun, this tends to look better anyway.

I ended up with short bangs also, but I've been taking some biotin and wearing these after I shower so my bangs don't curl up more. Once dry my bangs are flatten so they look slightly longer.

I've just started no-poo too (three months in) my hair seems to thank me for it cause it's nowhere near as dry or dandruffy as it used to be. Did you stretch your washes before hand? if your hair still expects to be washed daily then you'll probably end up with a shit ton of oil for a while 'til it adjusts.
