I think it's just her hair texture, being biracial.
it's the same as curling under, except it's done more loosely and without the aid of a round brush to keep it smooth and uniform like top pic. try just curling the ends of your bangs, about an inch or less, with a straightener, and then separate the bang. then run the warm exterior of the straightener over the top of the bang, trying the keep the curls pointed to the side.
it won't be exact, depending on your texture and thickness, but try it out.

I run a straightener through and then it's like... curling the ends under while simultaneously trying to pull them sideways by moving your straightener towards one side of your face.

>>9794357
Are you actually curling your bangs inwards (towards your forehead) with the straighteners? It almost looks like you haven't.

Also maybe invest in a hair roller for your bangs, so that way it's wet set and so stays longer than if you use heat.

[Anonymous No.9794501]

A couple of years ago I got my hair badly bleached at a salon and I'm still growing out the damage. I've had to cut it back into a pixie so many times I'm feeling pretty sunk cost fallacy about it.

Okay, so the scan isn't that great quality and the Japanese is hard to read on my screen, but from what I'm getting, the general process is:
Make bangs in a wide side part, using a lot of hair. Separate into two parts, and twist while holding it.
Twist the two parts, pin them, and gently tug random pieces to create volume.

[Anonymous No.9795459]

>>9795182
I have some recommendations to make! I have naturally thick, coarse, frizzy hair and two treatments have worked really well for me. Brazilian Blowouts will relax your hair and kind of thin it out without making it limp, and Japanese Straightening will totally flatten it all out and make it easier to deal with. The difference is that the brazilian blowout kind of washes out after a while and the japanese does not. I did the japanese straightening on my hair a few months back and its still easy to style and totally worth the money. but if your hair isnt super curly then a brazilian should work just fine! I hope that helps some

Why, when brushing with a proper brush does the same thing?
My hair is pretty healthy as is. If I didn't brush, my roots would be gross and the middle and ends of my hair would be a lot drier. Most of the "throw away your brush!" type arguments I've seen haven't had any actual science behind them.
Obviously if you have very curly or kinky hair, brushing it might not be the best, but my hair is noticeable worse when I don't brush it much.

Brushing your hair is not satan’s work, but it’s not great for it and doing it for 15 minutes at a time when you can just buy some hair oil and dry shampoo really does not make sense.

Okay, I wasn't advocating brushing it for that long initally, just saying my grandma used to. I guess it was mostly the good brush's work.

[Anonymous No.9795704]

>>9795699
Probably a combination of that and having small child hair, which is often very soft when detangled (and a small child memory, which often overblows things like how soft your hair feels when grandma brushes it). A Mason Pearson brush would be lovely to own, and if you want one go for it. I simply wouldn’t expect it to moisturize your ends in a way that’s appropriate for long hair care.

Hi cgl I'm looking for some advice regarding bangs. Some months ago I got my bangs cut at a hair salon. I showed the hairdresser a pic of this girl https://youtu.be/NQfg1fDyDag and while her bangs are triangle shaped,I got the classic semicircle part. It does look good on me,because I have thin-ish hair,but I want to switch to a triangle part with side pieces. Will it look good? I'll probably have to deepen my part

[Anonymous No.9795973]

>>9795699
Also, aside from differences in your hair child vs adult, butt length hair as a child is a hell of a lot shorter than butt length hair as an adult. So the ability of the brush to redistribute oil is going to be less on longer hair, and there's probably going to be more opportunities for the brush to catch on your hair and break it.

[Anonymous No.9795986]

>>9795951
Take the bits of your hair you want to make into a triangle and pull them down. Pin the rest back. See if it looks reallly thin or like what you want.

If you do decide to go for it, trim the bang parts from your triangle and grow out whatever is not in the triangle for a few months. Those will eventually become your side pieces. Then, when the extra hair is long enough, go back in an add a second thin layer to either side of your triangle to make side pieces. Pin the rest back until it’s pong enough that it’s not an issue.

God, gulls, I really fucked up. I was one of the anons who wanted to go short. Went to get a bob yesterday, and I never want to let a stylist touch my hair again after this.
I have serious helmut head, and the back was cut in the totally wrong way (cut out all of the under layers) meaning the back is a lot flatter than the sides.
I would be eternally grateful for styling and product recommendations, because nothing I do is working.
I've tried using texturizing spray, dry shampoo, hair wax, and a combo of curling rod and straightener.

Here's the back, which looks the worst, imo. Instead of cutting layers that would sit on top of one another, like she did with the sides, she mostly cut the under layers incredibly short with the top layer or two just sitting there.

Your hair is super cute anon! If you want that curl effect I'd use a thin curling iron and take individual pieces on the top layer of your hair and curl them in alternating ways. I also think just curling your hair in general is adorable on a bob, you'll get tons of volume (there are many tuts out there for heartless curls too if you're worried about damage).

[Anonymous No.9804943]

>>9804805
I think the difference is in texture. If your stylist is a good one, they'll explain how texture and volume in hair differs and how that will affect the styles you'll want. Get a roots volumizer if you don't have one. Try a diffuser attachment on your blowdryer and don't overdry. I have texture myself that's a lot like the picture on the right, and I have to be careful not to dry my hair entirely. Texture in hair seems like it's hard to recreate if it's not in your genes, but that's something a professional stylist would know better.. It looks like what >>9804805
might be the best way to replicate this look, because your hair looks fairly fine. It also looks a little HEAVY with product. Try using less product. I myself use only a phemolient and a diffuser and sometimes a round brush. Maybe try round-brushing different pieces of your hair, starting with those on top?

I'm seriously considering getting bangs because when I do casual coords it's so hard to find hair accessories I can wear to work. I'm allowed to wear lolita as long as it fits the rules but a lot of hair accessories that work for hairstyles without bangs are things like hats/berets, and one of the few rules is no hats. Also if I do a hairstyle like >>9806981 or >>9793796 I get people who give me crit like "style your greasy hair lol" and it's like bitch I did! Just because it's pushed to the back doesn't mean it's unwashed or unstyled. It's been ages since I had bangs so I'm nervous but I think from a fashion standpoint it'll just save me a lot of grief.

I just got bangs a few months ago, and I am so glad I did. I have very long hair and had not have bangs since I was a child so it was terrifying, but I highly recommend.

Tip: Do your best to find a stylist that listens to you and follows instructions if you want triangle bangs. When they inevitably don’t, don’t panic. Its not too bad traibihg heavy western bangs into the shape you want.

So! I got a nasty disaster of western bangs with nightmare “side pieces” back in August. I was able to train them into triangle bang so fairly painlessly. What I did:

1) Got home and decided what I actually wanted to be the core triangle of my bangs (no side pieces)
2) Pinned bangs and side pieces not in that triangle to the side
3) Cut the few long bits of hair from the top of the triangle toward my crown that had not been cut
4) Pinned my ugly bang/sidepiece bits back every day until the hair that I wanted to be sidepieces were all the appropriate length (it was a mix of lengths due to the weird cut)
5) Trimmed the sidepieces
6) Kept pinning back everything else until they could pass as layers

My hair looked like I wanted by December, but as long as I styled it it never looked bad

I cut my bangs after saving them out for over a year, and when I style my hair (curly or wavy) I think it's super cute, but without styling it looks super plain and boring, because my hair is really thin

I don't want to have to curl my hair like every other day (if I style it it usually looks fine until I shower) because I don't want my hair to get damaged again, but it looks so bad when I don't style it and it really affects my confidence.

Does anyone have any tips or ideas on what I could do?

put in a root booster after washing your hair and comb through with your fingies. when its dry brush it through and it should give a bit of extra fluff and bounce

Have you tried non heat styling? Like towel dry, product, put your bangs over a roller while they dry/use hairdryer on a cool setting. If your hair is thin hopefully it won't take too long to dry.

I just spent like $20 on a heat protection spray the other day, and I can't really afford spending more money on products atm, but it's definitely something I'll keep in mind for the future, thank you
>>9810132
Rollers for the bangs is probably fine because they dry in like 20 mins, but I don't know what to do with the rest of the hair
I have some rollers, but they don't really stay in the hair. I might be using them wrong though, I don't know
I've had short hair for years so I'm kind of clueless when it comes to these things

If your hair dries quickly, put it in french or dutch braids while it's still damp - automatic waves.

[Anonymous No.9810205]

Can confirm. In fact, wear your hair in a braid at all times when you are at home. Takes your waviness to max-level and is very protective for long hair

Practice! You're probably not braiding it tight enough, you need to pull on all strands equally to get an even result.

[Anonymous No.9810513]

>>9810217
The tightness and size of your braids affects the resultant waves. Back in the 90s when crimpers were a thing, the non heat styling way of getting a similar look was to put one's hair into at least a dozen thin, tightly pulled braids and sleep on it overnight.
So if you want looser waves particularly at the ends you're looking at trying to get your hair into a single braid, two max. Try and get it really tight, because you can always loosen waves gently with finger combing (this doesn't increase the size, just how "tight" they are) and you can also gently brush, although depending on your hair you may find it just causes them to poof slightly and pulls the wave out completely.

If it's curls you prefer and you have time, rag curling is an option for virtually all hair lengths. Don't do what one anon did which was to not take notice of the direction she curled it in, unless you like the wild poodle look.

I went to a salon to get rose gold, and walked out with hot pink. Color is Pravana Magenta. Will this fade to a nice soft pink or am I screwed? I wear larme and pastel jfashion, so hot pink clashes with literally everything I own. I think she did it this bright because she knew it would fade soon/last longer, but I'm worried she did it for her portfolio...

Muted tones like the one you wanted are harder to achieve. Typically a hairdresser will go more vibrant than what you want since those colors fade super fast.

I asked few threads ago about my hairloss and one anon gave me an advice to look for proteins. If anon sees this, thank you for your advice, I actually took it and started to count I get enough.

However, sadly my problem has only gotten worse. I'm pretty certain it's caused by either hormones (I have been on same bc for 4 years now but it's acting up) or constant anxiousness. Got my bloodtest taken few weeks ago and it was all good but even my bf commented yesterday how thin my hair has gotten and we have only known for 4 months so it's a recent change. When my hair is pulled there is atleast 3, usually more loose hairs. They are also full length, not broken. Even my fringe has started to get noticiably thinner.

I'm going to change into capsule which hopefully will help. But I would also like some opinions on what to do now. My hair is pretty long and otherwise healthy looking but it's honestly pretty sad atm. I'm thinking about cutting it but it feels bad after spending few years dreaming of this length and idk if it will help the thin look at all. Atleast shorter loose hairs everywhere would be not as annoying and it would be easier to wear a wig, right?

I have a round face and it looked good on me. I had medium straight hair. I kinda miss it, but it's hard to maintain. I think it looks good with oval faces too, but it's better for a round face since it 'cuts' the circle so to speak. I heard this from a hair stylist.

I have an oval face and people say the hairstyle suits me. In general, bangs don't look good if you have a small forehead, and I'd say hime cuts don't look good if your face already has a lot of sharp lines.

Anxiety and stress can definitely be causes of hair loss and I guess if your blood tests are normal them that should be the next thing you look at. Are you having any treatment for it?

[Anonymous No.9814934]

>>9814188
If it's nutricion related, like a protein deficiency, you need to be very patien before noticing results..it could take a while.
I suggest you keep trying to consume enough proteins.
I work with bariatric patients and most of the time when their hair starts falling out it's either low b12, low b vitamins in general or not consuming enough proteins.
But you can't always blame vitamins, protein or nutricion, it could definitely be stress related or hormonal.
In some cases it can also be hereditary, unexplained or due to autoimmune disease.
Contraception could work if it's a hormonal imbalance, especially cyproteron / ethinylestradiol which is often precribed to women with PCOS, hairloss or acne.
Some people also claim using a ketoconazol shamppoo works, I don't know if it's true but if you have a flaky scalp, you may want to give it a try anyway.
I assume you haven't been anesthetized in the past year? You can also get hairloss from that.

I once saw someone on some hair forum or hair blog maybe who said to think of hair growth as the water level in an old fashioned barrel. Each piece of wood represents a factor for making your hair grow, like protein, vitamin c, stress, sleep, all that. So you cannot overdose on one thing like biotin if the thing that actually limits your hair growth is that you never excercise and have crap blood flow. Do you have any factors that could be crapping your hair up, Anon?

Not yet. However, I will have to get an opinion on it from a doctor because it has been bothering me lately a lot.

>>9814934
My hairloss started about a year ago and then I was definitely consuming enough proteins, I only recently changed my diet a bit and forgot to focus on new protein sources. It was pretty short period of time and I got it fixed and I think it got a bit better. Then after the New Years until recently I have been super stressed out and I feel like I have lost a great amount in few months. I have been tested for other health issues for especially thyroid, iron and b12 and a bunch of others and everything was good. Nothing is even in the lower spectrum of healthy which makes me think it has to be either mental or my hormones are somehow messed. I have just moved so I will try to get myself checked again since my last doctor was super unintrested in treating me and I still don't know what is generally wrong with me - could just be I am just depressed and it's influencing my physical health. Thank you for your suggestions, they will be useful to bring up when I go to an appointment. Apparently one have to be demanding and suggest everything in order to get treatment here.

>>9815379
It's very bizarre because my hair grows like crazy. It didn't even touch my shoulders few years ago and now it's past my bust. I will have to look up which vitamins etc. would be helpful but also be careful to not overdose.

If it's any comfort, red colors tend to fade pretty fast, so it should get a lot softer after several washes. But it looks like you've got highlights and in those areas it won't go rose gold, but more baby pink. You could try a semi permanent ash blonde color after a while to even it out if it isn't to your liking.

random anon chipping in to add: sometimes prescription meds can cause hair loss, either through poor circulation or other factors. my blood pressure meds have caused my hair to thin on top even more than it already was. I read somewhere that you could massage your scalp in an upwards motion from the ears/base of scalp toward the crown to try and force more blood up there. so I have been doing that for a few months and it seems to have helped somewhat. anyway, if you're taking any prescriptions, that might be something to look into.

Hair wax... I don't know what brand you got, but less is more. You'll take a little bit of product, and rub it vigorously inbetween your hands until it heats up. If it's a texture putty like Kenra's texturizing putty 13, you'll heat it up, but also "clap" your hands together afterward. You'll see it start to form little strings. Then, you can work it through pieces of hair to make them pop and separate. Prior, blowdrying upside down or using a roundbrush will provide volume. The texturizing putty is easier then slicker types. Also, some types are meant for smoothing if it's super waxy and hard. Warm it up first either way, small amounts. I hope that helps somewhat.

Are you sure it's not just "resetting"? Terminal hair goes through three phases same as the hair on the rest of the body: anagen, catogen and telogen. In my cosmetology book, it's explained this process can be a 7 year length. I mean, at a certain point, it's all going to fall out since the anagen phase restarts. It also will usually do this in patches which can look like massive hair loss if you have a lot of length. If this is the issue, there is no cure. You'll just have to wait until the new growth comes back out. There very well could be absolutely nothing wrong with your hair.
>>9815379
This is true actually. Uh, but I can't say whether your hair is breaking off or just falling out from what appears to be the root. Protein adds strength, but increases brittleness. Lipids add moisture which increases elasticity. I have seen where people overdosed their hair on protein, and it led to massive thinning near the ends to the point they thought they had to cut it off. It is more common with the increase of keratin and protein in hair products, particularly keratin.

If that's the issue, I've had people fix it before by deep conditioning their hair overnight in Nexxus Humectress for an immediate fix, and laying off the protein treatments in the long run. I had my reasons for suggesting that one, but hypothetically any moisture rich conditioner with a pH around 4.5-5.5. give or take a few. (I'd hope Nexxus hasn't change the formula.)

It could very well be, if the resetting sycle can last for over a year. I'm 21 so it could be my first aggressive one as I'm starting to be physically full grown adult? However, none of my close relatives have had hair this thin at my age, my mother lost most of hers due age but hers were a lot more thicker at my age even though she bleached them. I actually destroyed my whole hair five years ago with bleach and finally let it grow out few years ago and the damage part is long gone now. Ever since I have been more careful: I have kept heat in minimum, no up dos often, good brush and I have reduced the washing to only when needed. I use Biolage's R.A.W shampoo and conditioner, a moisturaizing spray with uv and heat protection and hair oil on my ends so nothing which would contain keratin or protein. Overall I feel those products really suit my hair and especially the shampoo and conditioner has had a good affect on both look and feel of my hair. It's definitely coming off from roots and it's honestly starting to be annoying. There is hair literally everywhere but in my head. It's equally thin from the roots to the ends.

However, I'm still battling wheter I should just get it chopped into bob. Will it look equally bad? I love braids but what do I do with braids as thick as my middle finger anyway and I will probably get used to wigs so I can still have longer hair sometimes. Hairpieces also excist, which will probably work fine too. Well, I guess I'm pretty done with loose hairs but it's pretty difficult to let go so if anyone has any experience with situation like this please help.

I wouldn't give up yet if you are still unsure about cutting it. You say you aren't doing updos, do you sleep with your hair out?

Depends what kinda look you want. If you want your hair to look better just down, for me what works best is plaiting it after I wash it, letting it dry in the plait, and when you take out the plait it should be manageable- try to ditch silicone conditioner and sulfate shampoos, and only brush when wet. I can style a few ways, but I mainly like big buns, pigtails, and if I'm feeling especially corny something like sailor moon hair.. its actually pretty good on curly hair. A middle split just down can look fairly good for lolita even I think. If you've a delicate look about you. It is easier to style when longer as the weight stops it exploding, but on the same hand make sure to trim dead ends often!

I don't currently have layers, but it seems I'm getting something of some sort on friday, as well as some shorter hair to frame my face instead of bangs. I mainly avoided triangle head once I started using the braids to dry the hair, but since my hair is also pretty long now (it'd be to my butt if it was straight) it holds its own weight down so no triangle head. Oh, I also tend to use leave in products too. If you're in the US kinky curly is meant to be good for leave in, I can't get it here and we've no really good silicone free leave ins.

anyone got pixie cut hair inspo?

So I've been wanting to dye my hair a pinky brown but I've never bleached my hair before. My hair is naturally jet black and I've talked to a couple stylists and they've told me that I will probably have to bleach it 2-3 times before they actually color it. I'm afraid my hair will be so damaged that it will all fall out.

What's a good aftercare routine for bleaching so my hair doesn't fall out?

[Anonymous No.9844129]

Are you doing it yourself? Strand test to see if your hair can manage it! Also don't give yourself a chemical haircut or bubblegum hair. Aftercare - conditioner washing, protein treatments etc but really the damage has been done

I am having it bleached professionally since I've never done anything with my hair by myself before and I'd have no idea what I'm doing. Don't want to risk any more damage than necessary.

Thanks for the tips, I'll probably schedule a consultation with my stylist and keep researching.

[Anonymous No.9844200]

>>9844128
By the sound of it you do want to have it done professionally, yes? That's good, cause at home bleaching usually turns into a disaster.
The stylist is correct, your hair probably needs to be bleached 2 to 3 times depending on how light you want your pinky brown to be.
Your hair will be fried, your scalp will also not thank you for the damage. You may even develope scabs on your scalp if it's sensitive.
Kerastase keratin treatments will go a long way though, but I can't promise that your hair won't fall out, break off, etc.
Keep in mind that you also have regrowth to consider, and that the regrowth will also have to go through the same process. Over and over and over, till you decide to go for something else.
It's a hassle, trust me. I have fast growing hair and if I go a lot lighter the regrowth looks like shit.
Personally, I advise you not to do it desu. Keep your pretty black hair healthy.
Perhaps a high quality Korean wig in the same colour is a better option?

Thanks for the warnings anon, I'm actually still really back and forth about it decision-wise.

I want to do something different with my hair and it's thinned out a little bit from losing a bunch of weight so I figured a lighter hair color would help with hiding the thinned out spots on my head, plus I really love the pinky-brown colors like pic related. At the same time, I really don't like the idea of damaging my already dry, frizzy hair and shelling out a bunch of $$$ to retouch and bleach the new hair growth plus keratin treatments, so it might not be worth it.

Has anyone here used/uses LUSH hair products? I've been trying to get that voluminous, soft, bouncy look in my hair for ages and I'm finally ready to splurge to get that look since nothing else has given me anything more than average results. There's nothing wrong with my actual routine to make it so lackluster btw - The only heat I use on my hair is lightly blow drying it, I do not dye my hair, I only wash hair every 2-3 days, and I lightly shampoo the scalp and condition the rest of it for at least 3 minutes.

I was looking into Lush Big Shampoo, but the main ingredient is sea salt. I am super in love with how both my hair and skin looks when I vacation down the shore and swim daily, but I'm not sure if this much sea salt would be damaging in the long run.

I was also looking into their American Cream conditioner.

I heard keratin/protein masks are good, but I'm not sure which one is the best. Do you have any recommendations for this?

I dye my hair a light shade of blonde and it works well with all the fashions I wear. I wear lolita, otome, goth, and business professional for work. I think blonde is versatile. Darker blonde colors and light browns look beautiful in larme and lolita and I don't think you can go wrong. Maybe look up some charts to make sure it works with your skin tone and try it out. Start as a darker shade of blonde and work your way up slowly. Also tone accordingly to get your desired color.

I have a question about blow drying bangs since I'm not sure which is the best way to do it so that the bangs stay very straight.

At the moment I've been drying it from the tops and brushing the bangs quickly for side to side which seems to be ok but not the best since my sidepieces get all weird (the right side flips outwards while the left side flicks inwards toward my face...). Should I keep doing this or start using a round brush with the dryer or should I hold the dryer down from the top and just brush it downwards constantly?

My dilemma is that the bangs always seem to just sliiightly like, sort of warp(?) to one side and it looks weird when I take a pic with a rear camera or maybe it's because I'm not used to it but either way it still does the weird slight warp thing even if i straighten it. Thanks!

[Anonymous No.9851889]

>>9851714
If you want them to be super straight and sit right, you need to have something pulling them straight and also in the direction you want then to sit while you dry them. Brushing and blow drying from above won't always give you enough control, as you are clearly finding. I use a paddle brush under my bangs so that I can see where the strands are sitting, and blow dry both sides downwards and towards the middle initially, then take the whole lot over a round brush and blow dry it out at 90 degrees so that it isn't super flat. My hair is naturally very straight, so you may also need to hold the ends between your fingers to get it dead straight as you dry it and then touch it up with a straightener. I only brush over the top of it right at the end, after it's cooled and basically sitting where I want it already

Aussie 3 min miracle is good, they have a protein free deep conditioner as well as a protein treatment reconstructor. I've heard aphogee is good but never tried it myself. Don't get carried away and end up with protein overload.

Sea salt wise, you're probably better off using salt spray with conditioning products in it if you find that you like the effect it has on your hair. The main effect is that it can be too drying for some people.

In terms of lolita, should I bother doing unnatural dye?

I hope this is still hair related, apologies if there's a wig thread and I missed it.

I recently bought a synthetic lacefront wig so I could grow my destroyed hair out underneath for a while. I have a 8head and beyond so I planned to cut blunt bangs into the lacefront.

So, there's no reason I will need the lace, right? I can just cut it out?

How does the lace actually work in lacefronts? I watched some youtubes and I've noticed they cut the lace til it's almost non-existent -- so what is the point of it? I thought the lace glues onto the skin but none of these youtubers seem to do that, so was I just misinformed?

Pic related is the wig I got; it's actually a lot nicer than I was anticipating from a synthetic wig. It's by "K'ryssma"?

I bought a couple others too, including a "Forever Young" brand one, and it's garbage in contrast (the websites I read said 'forever young' is a high quality brand, but the wig is way shorter than images show it and very thin - the cap shows through in multiple spots...). So I'm really hoping to do good with the lacefront.

Is heat really that bad for hair? If I don't blow dry it I look like Hagrid

[Anonymous No.9864047]

>>9863942
Short answer: yes

Long answer: when you heat things up, more things happen. Heating up the hair provides energy to the molecules inside of the hair follicle. This energy makes it easier to break/reform bonds they otherwise wouldn’t form; hence why I’m assuming your hair gets straighter/more manageable when you blow-dry. Unfortunately, you can’t pick and choose where the energy goes in your follicle: so while some bonds need the heat to reform, others are sensitive to the excess energy and are irreparably damaged/destroyed. Over time, this weakens the hair and affects things like moisture retention and manageability.

In your case, at /least/ use a heat protectant if you aren’t already. Beyond that, your hair might be lacking in (internal) moisture. Make sure you’re using a conditioner that’s actually good for your hair health (I’m not a fan of silicones, it’s usually just a cheap additive and not actually aiding your hair). I use SheaMoisture at the moment. It’s inexpensive for the good shit you get out of it.

There's travel sized ones, maybe keep it in your purse? Ans surely you're not at important meetings and stuff all hours of the day that you couldn't take a trip to the bathroom to touch up your bangs.

I wash my hair every 1-3 days but my bangs always need maintenance when I get ready for the day, and dry shampoo 100% solves the problem. My personal favorite was Klorane, I've tried several but most do just fine if you're unsure which one to buy. Only ones I didn't like were Dove's and one from Drybar in a light blue can that did a good job but was so scented it made me nauseous.

If you've got dark hair though be sure to research which ones don't cause white cast. My hair is light blonde and I'm mega pale so that doesn't really matter to me.

Heaps of the larme styles seem to fit with curls. I'm guessing like most people with curls you tend to poof rather than having your curls look well defined in the same way that heat-styled curls do, and that's what throws you off. Try braids or half-up styles if it is hard to manage out.

the easiest way would probably be to section the piece of hair you want to braid away, and then form the bun. Then you just braid the loose section and pin it in.

based on your drawing, you probably want something like a dutch/french braid though. so for that I would french/dutch braid (whichever you want, dutch if you want the braid defined and french if you want it to be more subtle) the hair to the back of the head, and then pin it while you form the loose ends into the bun you're making.

it's up to you and your level of skill! if you practice it just a few times i'm sure you'll get the result you want.

I think it would look cute if you just diffused or air-dried the bulk, but took a straightener through the fringe. The combination of straight with super curly is definitely present in j-fashion. I'll post an example or two, but it is hard to find Japanese examples. They usually have to use a curling iron to get curly hair, and it's never quite the same compared to natural. I picked the messiest example I could easily find. If you have trouble getting it to hold... it's really expensive, but it is heaven-sent concerning hold and smoothing power: try Oribe's Royal Blowout spray on the fringe, and use a super huge round-brush. (I'm talking maybe a 4-inch round brush.) Often, that will make it hold without the need to even use a flat iron, but you could still use the iron to get that pin-straight effect. It wouldn't require the amount of effort it would take to blow-out your whole head.

You mention a weird texture, is this perhaps because you find a combination of different types of hairs on your head? many thin fine ones, but also mixed in coarser stranger ones? I had thinnish strange hair, always, sort of wavy but not really....turns out female hair loss is a serious problem in my family line that nobody is willing to talk about, and by the time I was 19 it was already thinning, all over. I chalked it up to 'bad hair' 'ugly hair', and also considered things like extensions, wigs, elaborate hair styles and products to conceal how little hair there was.

I dont have a good picture guide, but for me what really did the trick was understanding how an actual braid really works. once i understood that it was merely a matter of becoming dextrous enough to be able to pick up hair while keeping the braid tight.

a braid is essentialy two twists, twisted into each other, right? you have strand a, b and c. you twist a+b into a twist, then a+c into the second twist, then you go back to the first twist, etc. so just keeping track of where you are in your braiding and when to pick up hair on what side is key.
