Ingrown hairs

This might not be the right place for this, but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what to do to help with ingrown hairs on the bikini line? I have super thick curly hair, and even getting waxed &exfoliating regularly, I still get them really frequently. I have lots of scars from having to dig and pick them out and want to limit this moving forward.

How to take care of curly hair

Hi I have curly hair about 2C and 3b ish(it’s also up to my lower back ) And it’s really frizzy and dry. I find that no matter how much like leave in conditioner I put or moose it’ll always just like frizz up , and I’ve tried using a deep conditioning hair mask to try to fix it for about four months now. but I am not really seeing anything. And also, I have really bad split ends, which doesn’t really help either. I also find that I can’t get my curls to last either. I can wear them down for like one day and then The whole root of my hair just becomes like really flat and has no volume.

Anyways, I’m just looking for any like product recommendations or techniques to make my hair went better so I can start wearing it curly. And also,

What should I do?

Keeping hair out of face when working outside

TLDR: My hair is always in my face, not a fan. Also general hair care help needed! I have no backround knowlage and talk too much.

I've only just started scratching the surface of hair care so please bare with me for general pack of knowlage and proper terminology 😭 Anyway, I need help preventing my hair from becoming a tangled nightmare every time I do work outside. I looked online at charts and I think I'm like a 3a curl type? I have big ringlets. I'm often outside doing labor or hiking, stuff like that plus studio art. I've just been putting my hair in a bun to keep it out of my face, but it ends up hurting my scalp by the end of the day. I know pain is generally not optimal but I really don't know what else to do! Does anyone know a way I can keep my hair out of my face when I'm working? If it helps my hair is shoulder length atm and I go for more masc styles.

I've also only just learned that I'm not supposed to brush curls dry apparently??? Everyone online made it seem like obvious general knowlage, but the rest of my household has either 100% straight flat hair or is bald. So if anybody has any tips/product recommendations for daily hair stuff it would be super appreciated!

Questions about 2a hair

I recently learned that I have type 2a hair. I have pretty thick hair, but lately I've been dealing with a ton of breakage, dryness, and frizziness. I do have color treated hair, too. I've tried a lot of different moisturizing, strengthening, and frizz control products, but only argon oil has really helped, and this was before learning what hair type I have. I've tried asking my family, but no one really had any helpful answers.

Is there a difference in 2a hair type between ethnicity? To clarify, I'm wondering if a white person's 2a hair is similar or different to someone from a different ethnicity's 2a hair. I know that there are a lot of differences between ethnicity, like the pore shape and thickness of the hair, but that's about it. I'm of Scandinavian descent mostly, so I'm curious if there are different treatments and methods than what I've seen recommended already through online research. Those seem pretty generic, so if you're a different ethnicity or even mixed and have 2a hair as well, I'd really appreciate any additional insight.

I've seen curl cream recommended, hair masks, and gel or mousse, but idk where to even start. I typically let my hair air dry, or have it wrapped in a microfiber towel until it's mostly dry and then air dry the rest of the way. I rarely ever blow dry my hair; typically I only do it on colder nights. I rarely style my hair and tend to just throw it into a pony tail or bun, or leave it down altogether, but when I do style it, it's usually just with curlers or braids and rarely with curling irons or straighteners.

Swimming hair emergency

Hey Reddit, I usually don’t come on here much but I am starting a new lifeguard job and usually I don’t mind getting my hair wet while swimming for fun. But I notice my hair slows me down in the pool at my job. I want to start wearing swim caps to help that. But I was wondering where I can get some for long thick hair or even braids. Because my hair will not fit under a swim cap smh. I have 3A hair it’s thick asf. I usually keep it in jumbo knotless braids or in 2-6 stitch braids. I do have it down at times without braids but it’s not often. Curly hair ppl who swim please help !

How to maintain curls

So lately I've started taking care of my curly hair, and basically after I wash it I usually add all my creams and stuff and cover it till it dries, whenever I uncover it, it looks shiny, soft and overall good looking however it takes up to half an hour for it to lose its shine and turn frizzy, any tips on how to keep it looking nice for longer periods of time?

Combating menopause with curly hair

Recently, I've been assisting many middle-aged and older women who are navigating various stages of menopause. A common concern they share is significant hair loss, damage, and breakage. Given the hot weather in Texas, I've been advocating for co-washing to mitigate shedding problems. Additionally, I've been recommending leave-in conditioner along with hair oil and detangler to help. if your suffering from this I would look into this routine

Breakage

Alright so i’m 18 and a male with curl hair that is at the most ear/half neck level in length. I’ve been experiencing some breakage in my hair. Basically I used to use a hair claw on my hair everyday while it was wet to get more volume since it was flat for 3-4 months straight. I then started getting a lot of breakage and I thought that the hair claw was the cause so I stopped using it (This was 3 weeks ago ish) This did kind of stop the breakage, but there was still a little which I assumed that was inevitable as a result of my hair being weak from the hair claw. About a week ago my hair started getting even more breakage, the same amount I was experiencing when it began. I notice my curls looking more thinner and when it’s wet revealing my scalp/roots more than it did before the breakage began. I honestly can’t tell if it looks the same when it’s dry in thickness than before the breakage began. (Keep in mind I use an anti breakage leave in conditioner that makes my hair appear more thicker, and back then i used a different one which could be the reason i don’t really notice a change when it’s dry) Right now my theory is the fact that I started using my denman brush to style my curls a week ago almost everyday and my hair is probably too weak to handle it after what it just went through.

(I also just recently started using a volume zing hairspray by rizos to achieve volume instead)

Possibly relevant information: I use three products almost everyday to style my hair. Leave in conditioner, Mousse, and Gel (In that order) I also shampoo 2x a week and use a deep conditioner 2x a week after I shampoo. My dad always used to tell me that using this much product on my hair could result in me losing it but idk if that’s the case.

What do you guys think the cause is and what could i do to stop this and grow my curls back.

How to style front pieces?

Alright, just recently I’ve started wearing my hair naturally and diffusing, so I’m not used to styling curls yet. I think most of it looks okay, but the front pieces (which are shorter) never look right. I’ve tried finger coiling, leaving them air dry, and diffusing. Nothing makes them look good! I have glasses which might make them lie weirdly? I’m not sure. If anyone has tips please tell me! I also don’t have many products, since like I said, I only just started wearing it natural, I’m going to get mousse and gel next time I’m out, to see if that helps.

I want to buy a friend of mine a hair care kit for (I think) 3a-3b curly hair. My hair is straight as paper, so idk what I'm doing.

My best friend graduated college this week and i want to make him a self-care basket. He has long curly hair but I don't think he has a hair care routine or knows how to take care of it outside of 3-in-one shampoo. He also has some insecurity about his hair so I thought it'd be nice to find a few hair care products for a hair care routine, to bring out his mane. What are some product suggestions? Anything is a defined step by step process that I can include in the basket for him to follow? Thx
