This mohawk-ish thing is...not me. I can't push it to the side because someone said I look like a nerdy teen boy. But pushing it forward is just bad too. It's too short to get trimmed to a different shape but this just makes my face look....exposed.

Help How would I go about getting a similar haircut to this comic character as someone who cuts her own hair 24/7 ?

So my hair has been long and straight/naturally slightly wavy for ages, and my little goth self needs a change.
My hair has been bleached and dyed a few times, if that matters, and I’ve been doing my own trims to give myself a kind of long wolfcut for a while, and Death from Sandman is an absolute favorite of mine, so I wanted her hair length and style for very goth reasons lol.
Could anyone help me by telling me if it’d be possible, if it’d look good on a real person, or if it’d be too tough to recreate ? Pretty please ? 🥲

Question Dying hair for the first time

Thumbnail

10 Upvotes

Hello! I’m thinking of getting part of my hair dyed for the first time. The first image is my inspiration picture, what I would theoretically want it to look like, except the black part would be my natural hair colour instead. The second image is the approximate colour of my natural hair. My three questions are:

a) Would I most likely need bleach in the dyed sections?

b) What should I expect to pay for the full dye job?

c) What’s the difference between semipermanent and permanent hair dye, and how long could I expect each to last?

Thanks in advance

Before and After Update: I took your advice - went with the chop and pink (will eventually transition to blonde) 💕 Totally worth it to try something fun and new!

Help First time bleach blonde hair looks ugly-yellow and I feel like I’m doing everything wrong. How do I achieve my dream result?

Thumbnail

Hello, everyone! I apologise in advance for the length, but I feel a bit helpless.

Almost two months ago, I went to the salon to dye and bleach my virgin brown hair (picture 1) into a Neapolitan (blonde, brown, pink) style (picture 2). It was one round of bleach and then toner (I think?) Ever since that day, my journey has been rather confusing.

All of the color had washed out within two weeks - i was left with blonde hair only thirteen days after getting the colors done at the salon (picture 3). I wash bi-daily, my hair is genetically predisposed to get greasy fast. I used purple shampoos from the drug store, no masks or anything though.

Ever since then, my hair has been getting yellower and yellower and now it reached a stillstand and is stuck the same yellow (pictures 4-5, most recent). I use a purple shampoo 1-2 a week and otherwise am TERRIFIED of touching it. It’s yellow and a little dry now, although it had never been perfectly healthy.. i wouldn’t say that it’s frizzy or thinning or anything like that.

I badly want the blonde on picture 6 and it’s been making me very sad because I can’t help but feel ugly. I grew up around women that didn’t care to be very feminine and didn’t teach me about things like hair dye etc. and I have no female friends that I can ask. When I go outside, I see myriads of beautiful women with blonde hair and darker roots, so they clearly bleach or dye it and manage to make it look half decent.

I have so many questions:

Is it normal for my hair to lose color so quickly? Especially the brown and pink?
How often am I meant to go to the salon?
Do most blonde ladies go to the salon? Do they do it at home?
Am I meant to be getting toners? A second round of bleach?

I’m planning an appointment at the same salon in 3-4 weeks and I plan to use picture 6 as the references. I’m so scared that I’ll waste money and it’ll be all yellow again.. but I am also scared of mh hair falling out and still remaining yellow if I bleach again.

I’d love to hear some words of advice! Thanks in advance :))

I have been finding these super thick kinky hairs for a few years now and I’m so confused about why this happens. The second photo is my hair naturally, very straight, but every now and then I find the curly ones. They feel like Afro hair texture. If anyone knows what causes this or how to stop it I’d appreciate the advice 💕

Help Highlights to bleach and tone?

Upvotes

Hi, I’ve only gotten highlights once and I wasn’t too happy with my result. I was looking for more of a solid color and less dimensional, not a full platinum blonde just a warm honey/brown color. Anyways, it’s been 2 months and I’m looking into getting it fixed but I’m not sure how I can go from what I have now to a bleach and tone, a stylist told me it would be hard since I have previous highlights from somebody else and overlap would cause breakage. I’m in the Houston Texas area so there are no shortage of stylist but I’m having such a hard time trying to figure out what to do. I would say I take good care of my hair but I still want the result I was looking for with minimal damage.

Help Wavy or straight hair?

Thumbnail
gallery
Upvotes

Sorry, I know this type of question comes up a lot on these subreddits. I’m just confused because my hair looks straight half the time and wavy half the time.

When I’ve tried to use mousse and scrunch (I’ve used Pattern curly mousse) it looks weird and less defined compared to some of the instances where I just don’t use any products. The last 4 pictures are when I tried using mousse, the rest are just random pictures of my hair on different days.

I recently bought a diffuser and a lightweight gel (haven’t tried anything but mousse yet), as my hair is pretty fine, to see if that does anything but I’m not sure if I’m faking having 2a hair or not.

Also, I’m really bad at brushing my hair, so I don’t know if failing to do that regularly can make my hair look more wavier than when I don’t.

Thanks!

Help My hair is beyond saving

Upvotes

I desperately need help. My hair is very damaged, the ends all have white tips and I can’t cut and further because the front half of my hair is already broken off so its right above collarbone length, the back is long but also damaged so it looks like i have a jellyfish haircut.

This happened because i have curly hair (3C) and i tried permanently straightening at a salon about 1.5 years ago but that messed up my hair A LOT, the treatment failed.

The very top of my hair is curly and the rest is straight, thats why after every wash day (1x per week, if I do any more my hair will fall out) I have to straighten my hair and I do so with heat protection and low heat. I can’t not straighten my hair because i have work and school and I don’t want to look insane.

My hair looks and feels hard and crunchy, i can barely brush it because it tangles and sticks together and then breaks off. I already use Elseve bond repair shampoo, conditioner and serum and I’ve only seen some results in terms of softness.

If I chop off the damaged hair I will basically have a pixie cut which I do not want. Can somebody please help?

Help I hate brushing my hair so much please someone help me

Upvotes

Its the thing I hate most about having long hair and genuinely makes me want to go bald.

This post is being written with despair and anguish in my heart. For I just finished brushing my hair and it makes me hate my life more than anything

Am I being a drama queen and 100% overreacting? Yes.

But genuinely I need help. Im probably doing something wrong and Id love advice on how to make brushing my hair less evil.

Im gonna write my hair brushing routine so you can tell me Im stupid and doing everything wrong and how to fix it now.

I have long straight-wavy hair. 50+ cm. I only brush it straight after the shower. after I use shampoo and conditioner on it. I use some leave in conditioner before I start brushing. I try to start from my ends and work my way up. Then I brush it all back so its away from my face and I can do skincare.

Its such a tangled mess and takes 20 - 30 minutes to get it done. I have so much hair on my brush by the time Im finished and Im worried its more than there should be.

HELP

PLEASE
