Just got a haircut and I am mortified. The haircut looks like it belongs on a middle aged woman. Does it look as bad as I think it does? Any advice to make it look less shit?

Magic sleek Treatment and Hair loss

Last May I had my first ever Magic Sleek treatment done on my wavy waist length hair in NYC. Prior to that I had gotten 3 Brazilian blow out treatments done from 2020-2022. I the last time I noticed my scalp was irritated from a treatment was when I did my last Brazilian blow out but paid little attention to it back in 2022. Last year when when I did the magic sleek treatment in late May, I noticed that my scalp felt super irritated and like it was burning during the whole time the product was in on my hair & scalp. As I was getting the treatment done, the hairdresser commented that I was losing a lot of hair ( at the time, especially after getting COVID a few times, I did experience hair loss, so I attributed to having lost hair from COVID) however, it’s been over a year now and my hair has slowly started to regrow but I’m curious if a lot of my hair loss I’ve had was actually due to Magic Sleek products? I did use the shampoo and conditioner and was noticing hair loss still, I stopped noticing hair loss until last fall when I was taking vitamins to address the issue, but by then I wasn’t using magic sleek products for well over 4 months.

I’m tempted to do another magic sleek treatment, but worry about losing more hair again if it’s the chemicals in Magic Sleek, especially after having some new growth, and experiencing thinning around my hair line!

Thanks a lot! Just curious if anyone has experienced hair loss from using magic sleek?

What is the colour of my hair?

For the longest time I thought it was black. It's getting browner as the days go, this is the most light it's ever been. Pictures are taken a few months apart. (The first one is around early evening to late afternoon, and the second one is around golden hour.)

Toning my hair at home

I just got my hair done (balayage) and it's not the shade I wanted. I wanna tone it at home but have no idea where to start (type of supplies I'm gonna need, shades, volumes etc). My concern is lifting my natural color - I just want to target the bleached parts and lower the contrast between the 2 colors. Would love recommendations for products i should get (i live in Europe so my choices are pretty limited since im not a licensed hairdressed.) TIA

shade I got

shade i was going for

Plastic Headband After Perm

Hi all,

I had my shoulder length perm done about 24 hours ago and I have work this evening. Could I wear a plastic headband for the duration of my shift or will it damage the perm?

Thanks!

Hair extensions.

I got tape in extensions installed, and the same day, they literally fell out when I was curling and combing my hair. I ended up taking them all off because my hair was uneven and I had work and didn’t want to go to work with uneven hair . I told my stylist .. I already paid a lot of money and was disappointed when my extensions came out the day of . Anyways she charged me more , $1000 she pocketed from me .. I understand and I appreciate her work , but just disappointed. The hair didn’t even hold well on day one . Im just upset and don’t plan on going back to her.

Need some advice please!!

Hey, so I’ve been bleaching and dyeing my hair for 10 years now.

Am I right in thinking if I just don’t put any dye or bleach on my hair and let it all grow out then my hair will be back to a natural healthy state?

Or will it just look ridiculous.

I’ve already stopped using heat and I am going to be getting regular cuts.

Curly permanent before summer?

Hi there!

I am planning on getting a perm in a week. However, I will be spending two months at sea. I might not swim every day, but I am planning on swimming quite a lot. I know maybe I should wait and get the perm after summer, but I have wanted it for so long...

Has anyone gotten a perm and been swimming in the sea? How should I care for my hair in case I do go ahead with the perm before summer? My hair is very healthy, strong and has not been dyed.

Thank you!

Why is some of my hair frizzy?

I noticed it when I was around 12 (I'm 31 now). My hair is always very frizzy but only on top of my head, the rest of it is straight. What can I do to make it look better?

Best multi styler among the many that are now available?

The Dyson Airwrap was always out of my budget but there now seems to be so many multi stylers available ranging from £60 - £500!

Obviously if I can buy one for £60 that does the job great but would like to see what people have tried and if any good?

what to do about this breakage?

Hello! my whole life i’ve had an extreme amount of flyaways/breakage on top of my head. when i wear my hair up it sticks up and looks awful, and when i wear it down it just looks incredibly frizzy. I try to look after my hair, i wash it 2-3 times a week, use products designed for my low porosity hair, and try to avoid tight hair styles or anything that would add to breakage, yet my hair still looks like this always. my hair is quite long and the rest of it is healthy and i have very little split ends, but i’ve always had this issue. any advice would be appreciated, thank you:)

Permanent dandruff?

Hello, I don't know what's going on with my hair. I've used 2% ketaconazole shampoo, medicated head and shoulders, and 1% ketaconazole with a conditioner afterwards. I've also tried just rinsing my hair under cold water instead of using soap. Yet as soon as it's dry again, there's dandruff. What am I doing wrong? Do I just need to shave it all and start over?

How do I take care of my hair now that it is longer?

So, I have been trying to grow my hair for about a year now. I have no idea what I am doing and how to properly take care of it. My barber is bald(ironic, I know), so he can't help me. All of my male friends have short hair and all of my female friends have dyed hair so they can't really help me, since they only know how to take care of dyed hair.

I am 27M. My hair is wavy and light brown in the winter-dark blonde in the summer. I am white if this is important. I wash my hair two-three times/week and then I just lightly brush it. I also let it dry. I have no idea if my hair can be considered dry/oily/standard. It takes 4-5 days for it to start becoming oily. However, it is really frizzy. I have been told that it gives mad scientist vibes.

Currently, its length is as follows. Sides are ear-length, back of the hair just grows upwards forming weird hooks and front is at nose length.

How should I care for it better?

Any tips are appreciated!
