old one's in autosage.

anyways, i have a salon appointment in about an hour.
what's a good shade of blonde for someone with pale pink skin

[Anonymous No.8567055]

>>8567014
Pinky skin is usually considered cool so ashy, icy, beige, neutral and pearl tones are usually best . Avoid golden, honey and bronzy tones.

You may also suit pinkier strawberry blonde shades but be careful, they're not for everyone, best to talk to the hairdresser about it to determine their suitability.

If you're very pale, You can usually get away with very light cool blonde shades.

i've had strawberry blonde before and it's a lot of upkeep for me in order to make sure it doesn't turn yellow. it sounds so good on paper but i end up looking like big bird, i wish i could pull them off

thank you though! i for some reason thought pink was a warmer color for skin and that's probably my issue.

What is the least damaging way to get big curls like pic related? I've tried overnight methods like foam rollers or rag curls but the curls always end up being much tighter than this.

[Anonymous No.8567293]

Maybe try putting your hair in a bun overnight. Sometimes I get curls similar to this.

Are you brushing them out properly and THEN using a boar brush? Brushing them out is what gives the curls that nice soft 1940s look.

Speaking of skin tones I'm kind of a cool yellow (not asian), and I have a lot of trouble finding good haircolors.
Ive been thinking of going lighter, would a more honey color suit me better? or like an ashy color...
I think ashtones look better on me but idk my skin tone is so odd
>>8567071
Well you can be a cool pink or a warm pink.
Look at your veins, what color are they?

Does anyone here have any experience with keratin treatments? Positive or negative.
I have thick, frizzy, wavy to curly hair that goes past my bust and I think I would benefit from it if all goes well. I can only wear my hair down one day after washing and I can't brush it because it turns into a disgusting poofy mess. It takes an hour to go around my head with straighteners if I rush and my hair still appears very thick,

[Anonymous No.8567725]

>>8567633
You've got to do the Curly Girl method and embrace the curl, Anon. Keratin never did anything for me, and I have similar hair to yours. If you treat it right the curls will get bouncier and you might be able to get to two days in a row with your hair down (though I still haven't achieved this).

[Anonymous No.8567837]

Curls make my hair look even bulkier so it's not something I like to encourage for my hair. I'd just end up putting it in a ponytail like I usually do but I'd like the chance to have my hair down and feel comfortable with it for once.
My curls only tighten towards the end of my hair so I guess I could try the method for a bit but I've had a shampoo sitting around for ages with sulfate that I need to use.

[Anonymous No.8567907]

>>8567461
I think when you're growing it out you basically get a choice between growing it as quickly as you can and looking like a shaggy dog with an unfortunate mullet stage, or taking a little longer and having it look nice. I don't think a long pixie will take much length off, and you can transition it into a longer at the front angled bob type of thing. The pictures you link looked nice, but I think you'd be better with sideswept bangs rather than horizontal blunt ones

>>8567633
Embrace the curl, get it layered out with a good trusted stylist if you need to decrease the bulk.

I got an odd problem that I don't know how to approach:

I've gotten down to washing my hair twice a week. My current routine is washing Sunday night/Monday morning then Friday morning. I take care of minor oiliness with dry shampoo on the weekdays, and it isn't until Friday that I need to wash due to substantial oiliness underneath and around my crown.

Now after washing on Friday, my head's oil production always ramps up over the weekend, and by Sunday morning it looks like how it usually does after the 5 weekdays... I thought I was imagining it but I've noticed it over the past few weeks.

Is there ANY possible explanation for this or am I just being crazy? Ideally, I'd like to space out the days more - I only regularly wash on Sunday/Monday because of this issue.

I've used Milktea Brown a couple of times on my unbleached (black) hair, it's looks pretty natural but the colours aren't nearly as nice as what's on the box. Fresh Light's Champagne Pink is my go-to colour when I want lighter colour hair now.

wash every three days.

[Anonymous No.8568112]

>>8568060
I'd say examine your routine and habits and see if you do anything differently over the weekend than you do on a weekday. For me, my hair gets oiliest on the weekend because I'll have it down and fondle it more than during the week. If it's really bothering you, I'd say rinse it between washes and see how your hair handles it.

[Anonymous No.8568117]

I keep hearing people say 'your natural colour always suits you best' but just like there are unfortunate-looking faces, can't there be unfortunate hair colours (relative to the skin undertone, sure)?

My natural colour is absolute ass. I'm a warm-toned Soft Autumn and my hair is 'natural black', aka a very very ashy, cool and dark brown. I can never make it work, it always makes me look dirty.

I've been dyeing it chocolate brown or auburn for years and I hate the money, upkeep and my roots showing (and do they ever). If I do warm highlights the contrast is too strong and it ends up looking trashy.

Pic related is close to my natural colour. For context, my skin is around NARS Siberia-ish with some slightly darker areas.

Hmm, why three days? That seems frequent - I've been trying to decrease my hair washing to once a week, based on reading here and other places online. After three days my hair still feels pretty clean. My hair is also very thick and curly, for what it's worth.

I never thought about that, but it makes sense! My daily routine definitely differs on weekdays versus weekends, so I'll try to be more aware. Thanks for the tip!

[Anonymous No.8568140]

>>8568117
It can sometimes be a problem, yeah. It also depends on what your skin and hair does with the seasons - I have a friend who suits the Spring palette best but her natural hair is a fairly ashy mid brown, and lightens to a dirty neutral sort of blonde in summer. Obviously in the winter when she's at her palest she just looks sick with the ashy colours, so she dyes her hair to a more gold version of what it naturally does in summer.

I bleached my brown hair to a really pale blonde, then, I use purple shampoo to get a lighter color.
After that, I dyed it grey, the first time I washed it, some parts fade and yellow appeared. Why is that? My hair was not event at that shade of blonde when I dyed it grey? Can I fix it with purpl shampoo?

[Anonymous No.8568394]

>>8568060
It could be things like the weather, how much you sweat, what you are doing, etc. I find that how often I need to wash my hair depends on the time of year.

You also may just not be able to wash once a week, stuff like dry shampoo is not supposed to be a real alternative to washing, its more for like extending for one more day, and you do need to wash that out of your hair along with any products you are using.

[Anonymous No.8568797]

Your question is tough because it really depends on how fast you want it to reach the length you want. I'm growing out my hair right now and I'm in the "shaggy dog with an unfortunate mullet state" that >>8567907 was talking about. Right now I'm just trimming my bangs to keep the front neat, but letting everything else grow out as-is since I want my hair to be long ASAP. I'm using a lot of pomade and pins to style the top and push the sides back to keep the poofiness in check, and rocking a small ponytail.

>>8568341
anon, I also have a small forehead. I always wanted bangs so one day I just went for it. It took awhile before I was able to figure out the best cut/style for me. Since I have both a small and narrow forehead as well as a round face shape, bangs are not supposed to work at all, but I found a style that I think looks good on me. Basically, rock some feathery bangs and don't do a full fringe since it can overwhelm your face. My bangs cover 3/4 of my forehead and it looks much better than full bangs.

my veins look blue, so i think i'm a cool pink. i look better in the ashier shades anyways

i talked to the hairdresser and pic related (sorry for potato quality but the colors are accurate) is the result.

i'm very happy with it i just hope it won't go brassy

[Anonymous No.8569443]

i need some help:

i went to the salon to get my hair to the right pic color after having it teal. instead of bleaching away the teal, they covered it with red dye to cancel out the blue. after that they covered it with brown dye, thus creating left hair color (my hair is damp in the pic btw but its color accurate)
i'm mainly pissed/depressed now because i specifically told them to make it as light as possible. this color looks like shit on me and i didnt even ask for red.

i visited two salons today and they told me they don't want to work on my hair yet because it's been bleached twice and to get it lighter they'll have to bleach it again, which could possibly 'melt' my hair. they were also afraid of the bleach bringing out the blue again.
i was told to come back in two+ weeks after my hair has faded more. i have been washing it twice per day, using clarifying shampoos, etc.. when i look at the color bleed in the shower i only see red. will the red dye fade and leave me with the brown, or will the brown fade too?

and do any of you have tips on how to make it fade fast? tomorrow im going to combine vitamin c, dish soap, and clarifying shampoo and leave it in for a couple hours. apparently that fades red hair really fast.

[Anonymous No.8569454]

>>8569443
Please don't use dish soap on your hair. Dish soap is going to strip all the oil out of your hair and leave it looking like a drab, flat mess. (My roommate tried this and had to get her damaged hair cut off).

Is there a reason you didn't ask these questions of the salon you went or why you want to speed up this process? They probably told you to wait because that's the best way to get the color you want.

[Anonymous No.8569465]

>>8569443
The brown will not fade, unnatural colors tend to be semi permanent so you have the ability to try to fade it. Colors like you have tend to be permament colors. So you can fade the hair but the brown will not leave, it will just turn to another shade of brown until it grows out. Another example is black, you can fade black to a brown but it wont fully go away, so you may get a color that is faded but still not what you want. You will have to bleach it.

Basically the reason they are refusing you is because they are scared. They dont want to be liable to ruining your hair because bleaching it a lot will be bad. However it will be the only way to get that hair lighter, and the only way to really get it to a blonde that you like in the end. Since the girl bascially just put darker shit on your hair isntead of stripping out the color, you will have the blue underneath but again stripping that color will remove it. Even if you go back in 2 weeks all they will be doing is bleaching to lift the color, and I bet they will refuse to do it to that light because of the dyed brown.

Personally I would just do it myself at this point. You spent a lot of money to get shit and giving people who are not confident money to fuck up your hair again wont be fun. At least if you do something it will be on you and you will be able to deal better.

[Anonymous No.8569470]

>>8569443
First off, I saw you call the right pic in the feels thread "light brown" and that's definitely not brown. It's light ash blonde, medium blonde at darkest. It'll be hard to attain.
I have double bleached hair dyed dark brown, and I personally find that my dye fades to red in the more damaged areas, more gold in the less damaged areas. So congratulations, it might not even fade evenly. But just sticking it out for a month or two, shampooing and conditioning everyday will strip it like no other. You don't need to do anything but that. You'll probably have to wait a bit, but then you can bleach some more of the color out and then tone as necessary. I don't think the blonde pictured is going to happen, but you can at least get a more suitable color. Your skin looks very cool toned.

>Is there a reason you didn't ask these questions of the salon you went or why you want to speed up this process?
well the salons were the ones who sold me the special shampoos/conditioner etc to help make the color fade faster. and i guess i'll just stay away from dish soap, thanks for the warning!

>>8569465
>>8569470
at this point i don't even care about getting it to a super light brown/blonde, i just want them to lighten it. im not worried about getting a specific color- i just look horrible with dark hair, especially with red tones.

so basically the red will fade but the brown won't budge? i figure they won't have too hard of a time getting rid of the brown, they were concerned about the red since its hard to get out.

even though it'll damage my hair i think im going to get it done in a couple weeks anyway. i feel so bad about having dark hair that i dont want to go anywhere or take pictures of myself.. and its funny because i went to the salon super excited to get the hair i wanted and 5 hours+$300 later i look like shit lol

Looks like it makes peoples hair curlier which I don't want and all the examples seem to be people who have tight curls in the first place anyway. Frizz is a major problem so if it helps that then it could be good. Probably a bitch to fit all my hair in a shirt or towel though.

If you have curly hair you are best to do it wet, because dry brushing or even combing will fuck up curls and make it frizzy.

[Anonymous No.8570036]

>>8569745
You can absolutely brush your hair when it's wet, it's actually even better that you do. Use a conditioner and a wide-tooth comb and do it in the shower.

[Anonymous No.8570075]

>>8570032
It's different for different hair types.
For curly hair it is more beneficial as you say, but for straight hair, it's not, due to the increased fragility of straight wet hair.

>>8570036
brushing =/= combing
Did you read the second line?

The keratin proteins of hair strands are made of amino acids held together by a number of bonds including hydrogen bonds. Those hydrogen bonds are temporarily broken by water, resulting in hair stands being particularly weak when wet. If a brush is pulled through wet hair and catches on a knot, it is more likely to break the strand than if the hair was dry as then the hydrogen bonds are not broken. However, gentle wet detangling with a wide tooth comb will generally work for all.

Stop that, newfriend.

I like the co-wash method and cwc. Co-wash is conditioner only and washes just as well as shampoo with the added benefit that it doesn't strip nearly as bad. Downside is, you get a bit of build up and have to clarify after a bit.

CWC is when you use conditioner, massage a bit, then add shampoo without washing out. The conditioner helps to protect the hair from the shampoo, then once it's out, you add more conditioner. I personally like using this method after an oil hair mask because I"m not sure if only using conditioner would get it all out.

I'd also suggest going longer between washes, especially if you wash it every day, that way your hair has enough time to recuperate. Also, adding oil to your hair when it's damp will help. Look for something moisturizing such as Jojoba oil or argan oil.

[Anonymous No.8573682]

>>8573528
I have a similar hair texture so here's some basic tips:
1.don't wash your hair every day, you can shower but cover your hair. Ideally you should wash it 3 times a week at the most.
2.When you wash, only use a small amount of shampoo, just enough to get those oily roots at your scalp!
3.Put your conditioner in everywhere but your roots, let that shit sit for as long as you can stand. Shave, take a bath, do whatever to kill time.

Specific products aren't a huge difference, but my hair does respond better to some of the higher end products so if you're used to cheapo stuff you might want to at least test them out. You could also get a deep conditioning hair mask from just about any brand and let it sit on your hair overnight and then wash it in the morning. If you do all these and your hair still looks the same or there's not much improvement, you might be like me and that's just how your hair is. I find that my hair is a lot smoother when I style it with any kind of heat tool so try doing that and just make sure you have a heat protectant on first! If I recommend any product I will say that my hair really really likes the It's a 10 styling serum, it's pricey but could be worth a try! I use it on my hair is right out of the shower and again after I style it.

[Anonymous No.8573770]

How long did you try no poo? Sometimes scalps will over produce oil because it's used to getting it stripped so often. Like when starting a new skin care routine, your body needs time to adjust to changes. You can try dry shampoo in between washes to get rid of the oil temporarily.

You can get blue (if it tends to be orangy) or purple-tinted shampoo (if it tends to be yellowy). It won't make your hair look blue or purple, but what it does is tone down the orangeness or yellowness of your hair and it makes it look a lot more natural.

I use coconut shampoo and conditioner twice a week and it seriously cuts down on frizz, but I also only use a wide tooth comb on my hair every other day because it tangles terribly otherwise. Other than that I use dandruff treatments. My hair is oily by nature so my routine is to use selsun blue for dandruff( which doesn't get out much oil), put in Organix coconut shampoo, condition with the Organix coconut conditioner, and then if it feels overly conditioned I use the Organix australian tea tree oil shampoo. After all that my hair gets a three day break before it's gross again but those three days are of great hair and defined curls.

For growing out less is more. The less shit you do to your hair the healthier it is. At most watch for split ends but you don't need to get it trimmed as often as hairdressers will say and the best thing for growing hair is to be healthy yourself.

I also had very bad dry hair.
This is what I started doing a year ago.
I bought Dr. Bronners castile soap the baby mild one,a boar bristle hair brush and 1Lt of almond oil.
Every day 30 minutes before washing my hair I put an almond oil drop in my hand and spread it on the brush. Brush hair.
Prepare my half tea cup of vinegar dilute in 1Lt of luke warm water.
Half a spoon of it dilute with a shot glass.

Wash hair and rinse like normal, when its all clean, rinse with the vinegar and rinse hair with water again just to take the vinegar.
Don't rub the towel or the twist updo, take only the excess of water and let it air dry naturally.

My hair since I've started doing this became more shiny and visibly healthy, less dry, started to fall less, grew faster and never had any split ends.
I do the almond hair/wash routine everyday.
Everyone reacts in different ways tho'

Damage on the ends cannot be fixed, only cut off. Hair is dead once it leaves your scalp, you aren't going to magically fix it with any treatment. For future reference, I would suggest getting a decent heat protecting serum if you blow dry it

Cut of the damage and stop blow drying, IMO.

That sounds like a nightmare. These people are idiots. I'd demand a refund. Colors like pink and teal are food dyes and the high end ones do last quite a while but bleaching is so unnecessary. For future reference, instead of trying to bleach it out try using bar soap, lemon and baking soda (this is technically bleaching but not nearly as intense) or better yet a toner... seriously salons are taught to cover brassy colors with toner. You're teal hair could have been taken out so easily with little damage. You're hair is definitely to shreds now. The fast but damaging way to get rid of the color is to do a bleach bath but only after it has faded maybe use a toner to make it honey toned then chop all the fried shit off.

Don't places in the West usually use toner instead of purple shampoo? I never see it mentioned but where I live (SE Europe) toners are EVERYWHERE, yet purple shampoo is pretty much non-existent. I suppose it's because most people here have hair that's some shade of brown.

Purple shampoo is pretty common, and most people use both toner and purple shampoo, especially if they are going for light blond or white or grey as they require a lot of maintenance. Usually toner is a subsitute for purple shampoo as people mix the toner with their own shampoo isntead of buying the purple one that is made for that.

Just wanted to share an experience because I was extremely unsure about going through with it myself:

After dyeing my naturally blonde hair brown for five years (sometimes reddish brown!), I decided I wanted to attempt to remove the colour.

I had already bought other semipermanent dye to cover up whatever colour B4 leaves behind. No need.

Just because you do not see the damage, doesnt mean it isnt damaged. A lot of people with fried hair keep saying they dont 'see' the damage because they are just in denial about their hair state.

Box dyes like that have bleach. Especially the blonde ones, anything that will get you from brown to blonde will have bleach in it. The only difference is that they have a blonde dye mixed in it so you arent getting just the bleached look.

Alright so others are saying to cut off the damage/you can't fix it, and yeah, that is true to an extent, but there are ways to minimize the appearance without having to cut off a lot. Just trim off the very worst parts, and then once a week, completely saturate your hair in coconut oil and leave it on overnight, then wash it out in the morning. Coconut oil has made a HUGE difference for me - it's almost like it fuses the split ends together. Before you go chopping everything off, at least give it a try.

It isnt about being anal, a lot of people think that it is only damaged when it is really really bad, and usually there are tons of other signs of damaged hair that people ignore.

If you bleach your hair you have damaged it. It may not show up right away but you will notice it isnt the same. It may tangle more, break more, have more split ends, etc. It isnt always a big obvious change of being fried.

>>8587784
They dont lie, people are just dumb. For example >>8586589
is a color remover, it like Color Oops. If you have naturally brown hair it wont work because it is stripping the dye, not your hair. You arent supposed to bleach out dye anyways so this is the way to go. However, it still will have a developer, and that is why there is 2 bottles and you mix them, and there is no product that will undo any damage you have done before. A lot of people get tripped out because they assume that if it isnt 2 steps there is no bleach, and that is not the case. To lift color you will need some form of bleaching.

I suffered for 4 weeks while my hair went through various stages of brassy orange to brassy blonde and finally to platinum. I never went out without wearing one of my wigs.

honestly you'll need to post pics along w/ this since no one can really help you even if you tried your hardest 2 describe your situation.... most people are very visual and what you describe as something could be taken as something completely different by someone else. but a toner should work, try a violet based one (like the T18 from wella colorcharm) since you say there's yellowness, or perhaps you could get a purple conditioner and leave that on it for an hour or so and wash it off w/ purple shampoo and see what comes of it. good luck anon.

Is your hair curly or wavy? I see people calling frizzy wavy hair 'curly' and then get confused when the methods used and made for curly hair isn't working.

Usually taking care of curly hair requires less washing, and more moiture keeping.
Usually people with curly hair don't need any shampoo unless they are clarifying. It makes their hair very dry.
Straighter hair textures however, sometimes gets greasy/limp faster, and requires to be washed more frequently and needs shampoo to clear out oils.

What texture is your hair anon?

Of course everyone's hair texture/thickness/porosity is different so what I'm saying is only the basics.

My hair is damaged as fuck but I'm taking care in trying to fix it up. Got some Aussie repair shampoo and conditioner and both have been working wonderfully so far. Unfortunately the damage lies beyond that, as although I don't dry my hair with a hairdryer or straighten it I have been cutting it myself for years, resulting in split ends halfway up my hair. Not a good look.

I've had gross scalp problems lately due to anxiety but I've stopped picking and it's slowly healing. The game plan once it's healed completely (mid-Octoberish, ideally) is to a) get all the damaged shit cut by a professional and b) get them to dye it a more lively color. I can't wait.

Any other gulls go through similar hair transformations?

[Anonymous No.8595560]

>>8593699
Yeah, it's frizzy and wavy. Lots of smallish flyaways and short hair near the scalp, behind the ears, you know. It's really thick and coarse (think terrier dogs) and I'm trying to grow it out. My hairdresser says it looks really healthy and it can take dye really well but natural or not, the frizz stays. I don't think there's any 'methods' of taming this hair like there are with curlies and girls with straight hair. I like my waves but they usually get straightened out by combing.

I asked in a different thread, but I feel like here may be more helpful: can anyone recommend short hairstyles for someone with sharper/pointier features?

I love seeing short hair in JFashion but all of the models are pretty baby faced--small/flatter noses, chubby cheeks, etc. But I've got a pointy straight long nose, kind of strong cheekbones, and an oval face.

I'm worried I'm going to get a short haircut and look witchy and mean.

Hello, I was just wondering what would be a good girls' hairstyle for me. I was looking into a "long" pixie or a pixie bob, but need something at the moment while I grow my hair out to reach it.

[Anonymous No.8598046]

Hey gulls. I'm jealous to the max of all of you who have thick hair. I have hip length medium fine straight hair that starts to wave around the midpoint and has gently curly ends. No layers, just sideswept bangs. It's very healthy, has never been dyed (with the exception of a two inch section I had streaked a semipermanent pink), and I very rarely use heat tools, excepting my bangs which I flat iron every day before work/school (after applying a heat protectant). My hair has never held curls, even when it was shoulder length, and my two go to styles are a single braid or a ballet bun (without the donut). Ponytails give me a massive headache. I've tried learning how to french braid on myself, or Dutch, and it comes out looking sad because my hair isn't thick. Any others here have a similar hair type and can share some tips or anyone have any advice? I'm not interested in cutting it at present. My long hair is the only thing I really like about myself, physical feature wise.

I have this awful face... no kinda hairstyle suits me and so I went to a random place and cut it all crazy. I'm growing it out, but it looks like total shit. I'm also coming out of a phase, so it's fucking purple. What should I do? The ends are all damaged and because I have bangs they get oily and I gotta wash my hair everyday.

I have kinky tight curls that is very big and volumeness and had a lot of stupid shit done so here's a story.

Some years ago when I was 12 or 13, I went to get my hair trimmed, my hair was up pass my waist and it was heavy and thick. I didn't take care of it much then cause I was still young but did get it trimmed often however on this day the lady fucked up and cut my hair into a bob. I have a well rounded face with huge cheeks so it was a no-no. Later to correct the uneveness, I got it thinned out and now my hair is uneven from the back. 6 years later which is now, my hair is barely shoulder length and is still trying to get its fluff back. What can I do to make my hair grow faster? I hate how short my hair is and it makes me feel awful so any tips on how to grow it faster will be helpful.

You have a perfectly lovely face but that hair looks fucking disgusting, Jesus tapdancing Christ what is wrong with you.
You could go either way and get it cut short for an androgynous look, grow it into a Vidal Sassoon-style lob, or grow it long with lots of volume. However, with that hair I'd suggest a short cut and dyeing it back to a more natural colour, whichever suits your skintone best.

The way your hair is, I think it is better to cut it all short to an even length and go from there. Focus on creating volume and it looks better with bigger chunks of hair isntead of being so wispy. I dont think you have an awful face, you just need to go to someone who will get you a cut that suits you from someone with better skills.

>>8599546
Truthfully there is no real way to make your hair grow faster. Hair growth is determined by genetics and there is a chance that going through puberty change shit inside of you so that you dont create the same type of hair. Take care of your body, dont do shit to your hair that will damage it and over time it just will grow.

Hey anons! I've happened to get super lucky and got an opportunity to dye my hair any color for free at a girls school because she's training to become a hairdresser.
I've been thinking of what color to get and I thought I'd ask you gulls for any particular colors that would be super hard to do at home or really expensive at a hair salon. I've been thinking about trying gray since I've been kinda into it a while, but at the same time I wanna do something a bit more advanced.
I have really short hair, like not even to the shoulders, so there's not a lot to work with
If everything goes to shit I'm just gonna dye it all black because I've been thinking about doing that anyways, so I'm not really scared to try odd things

Try anthocyanin dye (can be bought on Gmarket), it's really popular in my country so most reviews will be on russian if you'll google it up, but there are colour example palettes with dye numbers which don't need translation.

There are tons of other dyes out there. I personally found that Mp purple is a good color but faded in like a few weeks. Special effects is good but I found their purple more red based than I had liked, and my hair faded pink. Right now I use Directions and the color I tend to have is plum, which fades to a nice dark blue. The only issue I had with directions is that sometimes the dye likes to be blue more than purple but that is less of an issue at the ends of your hair.

I like those bangs on you more than the side swept kind, and longer hair suits you too. Dying it to its natural color is your choice but I do think that the 'tails' should be but.

I was also white-blonde before puberty and my natural shade right now is a dark ashy/ silvery blonde-light brown. I dye my hair a pale ashy blonde and everyone thinks it's natural! But my eyebrows are actually lighter than my natural hair colour. It's a bit golden but not yellow-sh/ orangey. I'd dye it platinum as it would likely suit me as well but it's too much upkeep.

I actually got this done recently! You need to start with pretty straight hair, but just go to a reputable salon and get a perm "with drag".

It will just have a brown undertone. I mean, anyone can dye their hair pastel color without bleach, but it may not show up.

My hair is naturally wavy/ curly when it's shorter and to my hips and I can do rag curls successfully, they hold for days. You can wrap them wider for a looser curl but I guess that's not really the look you're going for, is it?
Armpit length should be easy though. I like having my hair almost dry before I do overnight curls otherwise it will never dry fully and the curls will come out instantly. Also using mousse helps but I guess you've already tried that.
Armpit length isn't long at all, she must be full of shit. Maybe too long for finger waves or something.

i'm not 100% sure if it's darker though, my hair is a light blonde in the light. we'll see!

I don't dye my hair often, but I recently heard about the method of leaving coconut oil in your hair while you bleach it. Has anyone here had any experience or success with it?

A bob like pic related (with your current bangs) would look cute af and easy to grow out too.

I love this and would be totally down to cut it like this once it gets long enough to do so... Right now it's too short in some places..
I also am not sure how to make my hair DO what the woman's hair is doing in the picture... My hair is straight and fine. Never a lot of volume at all, really. some kind of rollers or something? I don't want to use heat, my hair gets damaged easy & fast

removing the tails as soon as all the other hair comes to about my chin.. only have a couple inches... I miss having my old hair color... instead of dying it back I think I might just grow it out, as painful as that sounds...

idk if I should post this here or in a skincare thread, but it has to do with my scalp so here goes I guess. Just a warning, it's kinda gross.

>Wear wig for 12+ hrs at con last weekend
>Standard wig headache, but it goes away after a while
>Take off wig at end of day, scalp hurts like a motherfucker in the spot where I'd been getting the wig headache
>Figure it's residual wig headache and sleep on it, costume for the next day is a comfy staffing outfit with no wig, scalp still kinda hurts all day even though all I wore was a hat?
>Next day is another 12+ hrs of wig, complete with elastic headband over the top, right over the wig headache spot
>Take wig off at the end of the day, there's something gross inside the cap of the wig right over the wig headache spot???
>It's pus
>All my hair follicles in the wig headache spot had turned into zits?
>And they decided to take that exact moment to start leaking pus and blood all over my scalp and hair?

What the fuck did I do to myself, gulls, so I can never fucking do it again. Was it the elastic headband on top of the wig creating too much pressure? I've done four straight days of nothing but wig before and that's never been the result. I know I went full retard somewhere over the course of the weekend, I'm just not sure when and I'd like to avoid a repeat performance.

Pin curls or rag curls? If you have lots of hair it may be hard to find pins long enough to pincurl it, rag curls there isn't really a length limit on.

Large rollers probably

What's a good dry shampoo?

You should def grow it out, just get some leave-in oil or moisturizer to make it shinier

Wow that's fucking gross, I'm sorry anon.
In another thread someone was talking about ways to avoid getting bald spots from wigs and something about felt sewn into the lining was suggested, you could check the archives for it?
Did you shower each night?

You can always ask a hairdresser to give you a "glide" dye, I did this when I got too lazy to bleach my roots. This will give you a very soft ombre and the most important part is that the dye is exactly the same shade as your natural color. When the hair is being washed the color will glide through your hair and slightly tints the hair near roots. And if the color cuts harshly you can always ask for subtle highlights to even it out.

I just wanted to say that I don't think your hair is as ugly as the other anons do, I would probably fancy you if I saw you irl and ask if you wanted to go to a gig with me or get pancakes or something.
The colour, bangs and different layers must make it high maintenance and also it's generally impossible getting a job etc with something like that, so I support that you want to become a pretty member of society.
tl;dr don't be as hard on yourself as the other anons, but get a cute chunky bob and be happy.

That's very nice to hear. I am gonna try to grow my hair out and get my natural hair color back.. It's gonna be a tough couple months, but it's really nice to get a kind response from an anon like you. Thanks~!

Yeah, gotta wash that con funk off every day. The scalp massaging from doing my hair between wig wears didn't cut down on the residual headache though, which I thought was odd at the time but idk.

Putting felt in my wigs sounds like a recipe for an even tighter fit, unfortunately. I have a massive amount of thick hair and I can barely get it under the cap in its current state, let alone with a felt pad shoved in there too.

She's fishing. You just ignore that part and give her advice.

that's an interesting idea, never heard of a glide dye before

I'm actually giving this a try right now!
I do have a question, though- most of the guides I've read say to leave the coconut oil in overnight, but as things stand right now I only really have time to leave it in for about three hours or so. Is that alright? Will it hinder the bleaching process if I don't give it long enough to absorb or something?

Anyone has tutorials of how to make curls like these? I just got my first curler (I used to dislike curls so I just stick with a straightener) but I don't know how to use it well, all my curls turn out wonky and weird.
