Ouai hair gloss

I have the Ouai hair gloss, I’ve used to twice and each time it leaves my hair feeling greasy and almost slimy feeling once it’s dried. I made sure to really rinse it out since the last time I used it and got the same result I thought it was due to not rinsing it out well enough…

Did I do something wrong ? Is this normal ? Do I need to apply heat ? I’m so confused.

My brown highlights look brassy in the light?

I got highlights done at the salon on black hair because I want to gradually grow out my natural hair color. They brought me down to a level 7 brown I believe. Even after a toning glaze, my hair looks so brassy to me. This is especially apparent when under the light. What can I do about this? A

It's not straight, is it 😑

I am in my thirties and just realized by accident today that I may have never had the straight hair I thought I had MY ENTIRE LIFE!!

I had today off of work, I work as an HVAC and BAS technician and am in a ballcap ponytail combo every work day, and am active outdoors with a similar get up most other days. So, I decided today to just wash my hair and let it air dry and lay naturally for the first time in a long time, and then I noticed the... waves?

Thoughts? Is it what I think it is? Should I be doing a curly routine? Not bummed, or jazzed, just trying to do right by my hair is all!

Something shortish and shaggy but low maintenance—advice please!

My hair has always been the same. I’m 36, have two kids and finally have an appointment tomorrow for a haircut (no cut since Oct 23!) I’m naturally blonde with long straight hair which is quite fine. I would like something different but needs to be low maintenance as I have very little patience or time! I get migraines and Botox injections for migraines so my hair gets heavy and pulls giving me head pain, and also my forehead can look a bit worse for wear after my injections. My face isn’t symmetrical thanks to a bit of a dodgy jaw too. I am leaning towards a shaggy bob or a shaggy pixie or something. Maybe bangs. Thoughts or advice would be awesome so I don’t come home tomorrow with the same haircut but just a few inches shorter as I have with every haircut I’ve ever had! Could I make something shaggy work even with straight hair?! Any other ideas?! Thank you!!!

Why does it look like that!?

I have gone to this hair dresser for a long time and my hair has never looked like this when I'm done. The appointment also was half the time it usually is. Normally 4 hours it only took about 2 this time and it looks like this all over. It's just not blended at all, should I ask for it to be fixed?

i found a strand of grey hair today, any advice??

i am a 22 y/o woman w/ black hair. today, while i was doing my hair, i saw what looked like a shiny tinsel hair decoration strand. however, i then realized it was completely grey hair. this was extremely upsetting to me, and i ripped it out.

i then searched through all my hair and didn’t find any more (thank god), but i’m still really freaking out. there’s absolutely no reason i should have ANY grey hair at my age. my hair is naturally black too, so even just one grey strand would be very noticeable.

i know how stress can cause grey hair, and i have absurd levels of stress (diagnosed w/anxiety & ocd). only i’ve had these issues basically my entire life. if my stress is whats behind this, why’s it all the sudden happening just now and not ages ago??

any advice on what i can do? vitamins/supplements, diet, lifestyle changes, etc? i’m sure this may be incredibly dramatic since it was literally one singular strand of grey, but i still feel extremely upset & stressed out. i’d be DEVASTATED if i develop more greys before i even turn 25. i’ll do absolutely anything i can possibly do to stop this from becoming a bigger problem.

PLEASE, if theres any advice for the prevention of grey hair, or if anyone knows what could’ve caused this, please let me know. i’d appreciate quite literally anything that might help me, so so SO very much. and thank you to anyone who read all this <3

Favorite brands/shops for hair accessories? (Scarves, bows, clips, etc.)

One of my goals for this year is to add accessories and fun elements to my hairstyles. This is a snippet from my vision board for ideas!

hair color/cut paralysis

my hair right now is grown out and now I am at odds what to do with it. I definitely have the itch, so I either need to color and trim or color and chop, something noticeably different. Does anyone know where to find non-basic (more edgier) hair color and style ideas? I have been leaning towards subtle strawberry blond and cutting quite a bit off, my ends are trashed, but I am not sure and need inspiration outside of Pinterest and google images!

Microlink Extension Beads

Does anyone know where to get pink silicone micro-link extension beads? I’ve seen them used in a YouTube video, so I know they exist. However, I have scoured the internet in search of pink ones and can only ever find red. Dying/coloring blonde ones doesn’t work bc silicone doesn’t absorb color easily. I’ve been to ten different hair supply stores looking for them and to no avail!,
