5 in 1 hair stylers?

My hair dryer is almost dead, and I am looking to buy a new one. I was thinking about getting myself something that could help me style my hair too, but getting something like a certain very expensive Airwrap seems like madness budget wise.

There are many cheap versions out there, but I don't know if they are worth buying. I am not sure if I am allowed to mention specific brands here. I have my eyes on a couple of them, by brands that are mostly very good in quality, with prices ranging from 40 to 80 euros. They are either 5in1 or 3 in1 products. I don't need something that is crazy good, just something that can help me out a little, and has a good dryer, because I have a lot of hair.

Doea anyone have experience with this? Is it even worth considering?

Hair extensions

hi! i'm thinking about getting blonde hair extensions (i have black box dyed hair) i just want some highlights without damaging my hair.

here's a lil starter info: my hair is pretty thick but from the top/back my hair is kinda thin and i have a swirl thing which makes an illusion that my scalp is showing (also with blonde roots since im a natural blonde) so i'm thinking of theres a specific type of extensions i can get so they dont show since i dont have much hair on top to cover the band.

i have a consultation on tuesday but id like some starter info bc i am stressiiinggg.

i'd like extensions that dont require salon maintenance appointments, i think my friend had the braid/ sewn extensions they lasted 6 months and i dont think she had any appointments in between. is that possible? i am kinda poor but im willing to pay the 500-700 on the extensions but i really dont wanna spend extra money on maintaining them😭 also id like a possible home removal, i helped my friend to remove her sewn in extensions and i think it was ok. but im not sure if i can get the sewn on ones since like i said i dont have much hair to cover them +especially because it's the total opposite color idk if that makes the band even more visible.. at first i thought about getting magos because i think theyre ok for even very thin hair, not too visible. but i read that they need maintenance appointments every 6 weeks🥲 what should i do?

What product would you use for styling hair like this?

What hair products would you use to achieve a hairstyle like this. I have similar hair I think, medium to fine, with slight curls, but without anything it falls kind of flat on my head.

Blow drying hair after Keratin shampoo

This may be a tired question, but I'm a little lost on this.

I used Tresemmés Kertain heat protectant spray and absolutely loved how smooth it made my hair. So, I got their Keratin Smooth shampoo. My only confusion is if using a blow dryer after using it is a bad idea. Some say yes, others say no. My understanding of how the shampoo actually works is lacking.

If anyone could give me an answer with an explanation as to why yes/no...that'd be awesome. I'm trying to grow out my hair which already grows rather slow so any hair damage is a big no no for me right now.

Haircut suggestions please!!

Hey there! So I have a combination of medium density wavy and curly hair (low porosity).

My routine : I usually oil my hair with coconut oil then shampoo and condition it. After that I just brush it out like usual.

So I want to get a haircut which will look good on me and is easy to maintain. I personally want to get a wolf cut but I don't know if it'll suit me. Do tell me if you think it is a good idea. If you have any other haircut recommendations , please please let me know!

I’m so sorry to probably be the millionth person to ask this, but am I balding? 18M

Genetic history says i absolutely shouldn’t be, but why are the corners of my hairline back so far? This has only started to bother me in the last year or so. Childhood pics from when my head was buzzed, it was not like this. Any help is appreciated. Thanks and sorry if this is insulting to people who actually have serious hair loss. I am just trying to be overly cautious to catch anything while it’s early.

Can someone give me suggestions on what to do with my hair

I recently let my natural hair grow out back to brown. I have super straight hair and unfortunately gets weighed down pretty quickly. I do curl it when I go out but other than that I hate it. Any cut recommendations (except a bob) or anything else to help me glow up would help. I was a blonde most my adult life but I’m trying to embrace the natural. I’m the one in the orange.

Am I receding or balding or is this natural hairline?

I am 31. Hairline has been like this for years and years.

I am really self conscious about it, but I can’t tell if I am receding or balding or whether it’s just my natural matured hairline? I have really thick and wavy hair and no signs of thinning

Split ends

I desperately need a product or tip that will help with split ends. I got a decent amount of hair cut off about a month ago and they went away for a bit but now they are worse than ever for some reason. I use conditioner. Sleep with a satin pillow. Anything else I can do? They’re the worst when I get out of the shower. They’re still bad when I blow dry and style, though. A float test determined I have low porosity hair, not sure if that matters at all.

One week of Hair Loss, normal??

I’ve been losing a lot of hair checked my iron, b12 folate,zinc and they were normal. I lost 11 lbs in 6 months unintentionally. My vit D levels were low, (18)

I was also using retinol every night on my face and I wonder if I got some vit A related hair loss.

Is there anyway to make my hair curly without getting a perm/doing no shampoo?

I have wavy hair, if I dont use shampoo I have borderline curly hair 2b/2c. But I wanna use shampoo because I lowkey feel disgusted if I don't. Is there any way to bring out the curls on my hair without doing the 2 things on the title? I saw a tiktok comment saying there was a shampoo that did that but when I did my research I couldn't find anything! so I'm asking here if theres any ways and/or if that shampoo even exists. Thanks in advance
