my hair is getting really frizzy after using alan truman’s 4 in 1 attachment tool tho i think i was using the heat protectant incorrectly. it was too close to my hair while applying and making it wet. so is the frizziness because of this or there could be something else that im doing wrong.

🚩 Advice Needed 🚩 What Shampoo Are You Guys Using?

Post image
1 Upvotes

For most of my life, my hair routine was incredibly simple. I used Old Spice Products (and still do) to get the job done. Eventually, my scalp got super dry to the point where I had scabs on my scalp. When I came across "Old Spice Head & Shoulders 2 in 1 Dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner, That's perfect!".

Fast forward to now: I'm still using Old Spice x Head & Shoulders 2 in 1, it keeps my scalp clean, but makes my hair super dry. Now I'm scared to try new shampoo. I'm afraid that changing what I use will bring my scabs back. But I'm tired of my dry hair.

What I'm searching for now is shampoo that keeps my scalp scab free, actually hydrates my hair, and actually smells like men's shampoo.Honestly, I have absolutely no idea where to even begin looking for this combination. This is my first reddit post, hopefully I'm sending this to the right place and that someone can point me in the right direction.

Not sure if this information is relevant, but for context, I am a young adult with a wavy middle-part style that falls just about to my ears. Not sure if the length of my hair dictates what kind of shampoo I should use, but I do know that my hair texture is varied. The top of my head is mostly straight, the middle is wavy, and the ends curl. the back of my head is mostly just curly.

πŸ›’οΈ Oily/Greasy Hair πŸ›’οΈ Oily hair help from college dorm

1 Upvotes

So I recently moved to college and I’ve noticed that my hair will come out oily not even two hour after I’m done washing it. I’m pretty sure the problem is the dorm water because unlike the past where my hair gets oily at the roots first, it is oily starting around my neck/middle of my hair (my roots are fine). I’ve had problems with oily hair in the past and switch shampoos about two weeks before I moved so I’m also considering that could be a problem but because my roots are the best they’ve been in a while I’m guessing it’s the water.

Does anyone know of any products or advice that could help the problem. As stated previously I am in college so preferably no $60 shampoos. Thanks

Hi, I’ve been dealing with grey hair, I’m only 25 and I have about 20% grey hair which has been making me super insecure. I saw this product on Sephora but it seems so overpriced or maybe too good to be true, does anyone have any other recommendations for similar products? Is this really worth $170?

🚩 Advice Needed 🚩 Need help finding products for thick, frizzy 2A(?) wavy hair!

hi, everyone! i'm new to this sub because i'm looking to finally tame my messy hair. i've always had natural wavy hair, but always struggle to tame it. i always just used shampoo and conditioner, thinking the problem was the brand, but i'm slowly learning there's more to hair care than just that.

so far, i've used a mix of hair masks and different conditioners, but nothing seems to help. i've been using native brand shampoo and conditioner for a while, as that gives me slightly better results, but my hair is still as thick and frizzy. i don't like hair spray, nor have i tried any mousses or creams, as they seem a little intimidating.

i don't blow dry my hair or style it in any way, just a brush and air dry. i'm looking for product recommendations to help tame this mess, as well as instructions on what to do or what to avoid. thank you!

list of products i've used, for reference:

- native shampoo/conditioner

- herbal essences shampoo/conditioner

- raw sugar shampoo/conditioner

- redken frizz control shampoo/conditioner

- aussie miracle moist shampoo/conditioner

- dove repair hair mask

- bondiboost hair mask

- aussie ultra wonder mist

😩 Damaged Hair 😩 Seeking answers from professionals

1 Upvotes

Hi there , I had blonde highlights put in my long dark brown hair. During the process I felt like they were keeping the bleach on longer than I’ve had in the past. In the end they left it on almost an hour … somewhere between 45-55 mins. After washing , I returned to my seat and the two apprentices were combing my hair and the blonde parts were breaking and I saw the two of them look at each other worried. In the end I asked for my money back but they won’t. Their answer was β€œyour hair was dark and needed more time and this is a possibility, hair breakage”. I feel like this isn’t normal but best to ask other professionals.

I’m thinking of complaining to the big guns of this salon but before I do I want real advice.

It was the professional doing my hair , the apprentice was only doing the washing and combing

πŸ›’οΈ Oily/Greasy Hair πŸ›’οΈ Hard water is so much better for me than soft water (need help!)

1 Upvotes

TLDR: Chicago's hard water gives me nice volume and curls. Go to school in Boston, and the soft water is ruining my hair by making it flat and lifeless. Has anyone found anything that helps?

I live in Chicago, which has hard water, and go to school in Boston, which has soft water.

In Chicago, when washing my hair, it clumps together really nicely, and my hair has a nice, voluminous hold and is wavy/curly. (Yes, I know this is because of the minerals).

In Boston, the soft water has been causing my hair to be very thin and limp, and I know this is because the water isn't as hard as in Chicago.

I've tried many different products to try and recreate this hold again because I just hate how flat and lifeless my hair is.

So I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and found a solution to it. I've asked AI for suggestions, but I'd rather hear from people who've actually experienced this.

πŸ”Ž Product Question πŸ”Ž What dry hair heat protectant is the best?

1 Upvotes

Hello! I’m in search of a good heat protectant for dry hair. I have pretty straight hair and a lottt of layers and must style my hair every morning (unfortunately) or else I look like I have a grown out shag lol. I’m aware that most heat protectants require you to apply to damp hair, but are there any that are good with dry hair that you swear by?

I’ve read through many posts and videos, but everyone recommends different brands and by the end of it, I have a list of 20 different products and I’m too indecisive!

And before anyone comments about the using heat (mostly) everyday part, I know that it’s not good for my hair, and I’ve acknowledged and accepted that my hair will be and is already damaged. Just looking for a product that will at least help my hair out a littleπŸ˜‡

I’ve tried Moroccan Oil and Living Proof and I liked those ones. Also used sexy hair. Emi Jay from Sephora was ehh. I just bought the Cecred thermal shield mist because the worker recommended that line, but I have yet to use it.

Thanks!

Hi there, I’m looking for advice to get smooth shiny hair. I’ve always had thin frizzy hair, I’ve included two examples, one naturally dry and the other styled.

I’ve stopped colouring and heat styling to improve health. I always wear my hair up because I can’t take the frizz.

Can I please get recommendations on:
1. A conditioner to alternate every second wash with my k18?
2. A hair mask or something to improve quality?
3. Any vitamins?
4. Anything else?

Bonus points for styling tips.

Thank you

🚩 Advice Needed 🚩 Seeking advice- is my hair damaged or does it possibly have some curl to it?

Ive been treating my hair as straight my entire life. Its frizzy, tangles so easily and is like the damn Sahara desert no matter what i do. I double cleanse, use lamellar treatments 2-3x a week, deep conditioning masks once a week, and condition for 5 mins minimum in shower, in conjunction with leave in conditioners, detanglers, oils and shine serums. I use the hydrate pureology line and have seen a small difference in terms of manageability and moisture, but nobody matter what i do it poofs right up after about 30 mins or right when brushed.

Photo posted is fully dry 2 hours out of the shower. I brushed when wet, not when dry yet.

ETA- I have previously bleached my hair. About 2 years ago. I now dye my roots black when needed.

πŸ›’οΈ Oily/Greasy Hair πŸ›’οΈ greasy/matted feeling crown

1 Upvotes

Hoping someone might be able to help me out because i am suffering!!!

For about 2 months now I have been really struggling with the crown of my hair being persistently greasy feeling immediately after washing - literally feels constantly weighed down and unclean but it’s only this one section.

I already double cleansed using clarifying shampoo then redken frizz dismiss (which I’ve used for about a year now) so nothing in my routine has changed and I’m already using a clarifier. I did try switching to another couple of shampoos i’ve used in the past that agreed with my hair and still had the same issues.

I wash really thoroughly and have been sectioning my hair to ensure I wash it properly but it almost feels even when washing as if that area of my hair is almost like matted and no matter how I wash it I can’t get it clean properly.

I started using an anti dandruff shampoo (Dercos for oily hair) and for the first few washes felt like it helped sooo much and since then it’s gone back to the same as before.

My sisters had a look at my scalp and there’s no obvious dry or scaly patches anywhere to suggest any skin issues so I am now at a loss.

πŸƒ Hair Loss πŸƒ Young adult experiencing major breakage and hair loss.. please help me!

1 Upvotes

I'm a 20 year old female & have noticed substantial breakage and hair loss for about a year now. I had lots of super thick, wavy/curly hair, it was honestly gorgeous. Now, I dread washing my hair because I know I'm going to have a breakdown due to the amount of hair I'll lose. If I wear my hair down, I shed like crazy, so I typically put it up in a claw clip. I just got a haircut recently and even my hairdresser mentioned how excessive the hair loss was. When I'm home, I wear a silk bonnet. I very rarely apply heat, never bleach, and only occasionally dye it darker at home. I don't do anything crazy. I don't understand and it's genuinely causing me so much distress.

I remember first noticing an unusual amount of hair loss after dyeing my hair @ home with some ammonia-free box dye... and it just never stopped. So after a few months I decided to get my thyroid tested - labs came back normal. I don't have a PCP so I hesitate to test for other things as I'll have to pay out of pocket. I just recently lost about 90 pounds in a pretty short amount of time however I've been maintaining my weight for about 2 months now & eating the recommended amount of calories. And it's still falling out. I don't know what to do. At this rate I fear I'll be bald before my 21st birthday - no exaggeration.

Please please share any suggestions you may have. Like literally anything.

🚩 Advice Needed 🚩 What happened to my hair?

I always had smooth/soft/glossy hair that is straight. Was one of my fave phys features :/

All of the sudden (!!) I have these frizzy shorter hairs that are curled all around the top and sides of my head. Oddly, my ends/bottom length of my hair is the smoothest part now.

Only one thing has changed recently in my hair routine. I just switched from Lime Crime red to a Good Dye Young red. But these are basically color depositing conditioners, no? How could that be? Everything else is the same!! Products, water, diet.

Perimenopause??

Could it be my micro fiber hair towel was wrapped too tight? I’ve been using them for like 10 years with no problem.

What happened?? Looking at pics from 2 months ago, it was not like this
Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated!

**edit to add: I don’t use heat styling or blow dry

I started using tresseme blowout kertain conditioner. My hair has never been better. Its so soft and shiny. I'm worried it's gonna do harm in the long run. I've seen a lot of negative opinions. If it works great for my hair is it still bad? I remember seeing something in some conditioner coat the hair and gives the illusion of good but it's actually not good. I don't know if any of that makes sense. I really love my hair I would hate to be harming it bc I'm uneducated.

Looking for advice to combat this frizz, it doesn't happen every day, mostly on the high humidity days but it drives me insane. I have always battled with my hair my whole life, I don't know anything about haircare, I have pretty much just washed with whatever shampoo and conditioner and hoped for the best.

My hair type is fine and thin, I tend to lean towards oily scalp (wash every second day), I have wavy to curly hair depending on the day. I don't like to use any heat (I don't own a hairdryer etc).

thank you in advance!!
