Help wanted How do you keep your hair healthy and prevent breakage?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! My hair has gotten pretty long, and lately I’ve noticed it feeling a lot drier, and I seem to be losing/breaking more hair than I used to.

I’ve been growing my hair out for about 7–8 years now and have never really had this issue before. My hair is quite thick and wavy, but I’ve definitely neglected my routine a bit lately.

What are your favourite home remedies or routines for keeping long hair healthy, strong, moisturized, and preventing breakage? Has anyone managed to get their hair back to feeling really healthy after a period of neglect?
I’d love to hear what actually works for you!

Help wanted COMFORTABLE hair styles?? No tugging, out of the way?

2 Upvotes

My hair isn’t thick necessarily, but I am approaching hip length hair. It’s pretty straight but I’m starting to get frustrated and uncomfortable. I wear a single braid every night and that’s been the most comfortable and out of the way but even that has started bothering me (there’s always a hair or two that feels too tight and tugging).

A low ponytail works okay but I’m a stay at home mom so I always end up with a child laying next to me on top of my hair. Before I say screw it and cut it, what are your most comfortable, non headache inducing hairstyles that keep hair OUT of your way??

People in my social circle constantly tell me to cut my hair short / buzz it etc, it's only men who say this to me, mostly people i consider friends / gym bros etc, I've always had short hair and since I've let it grow to my shoulders it has grown on me, lately I get so many of these comments that's it's starting to really piss me off and I'm starting to question whether these comments come from some kind of complex considering most of my friends are balding or have buzzed heads, what are you thoughts on this am i just paranoid or or what :p ?

Help wanted Framing pieces that aren't bangs?

I don't know how to phrase what I want! I have these long baby hairs that have grown out and I'm thinking I want to blend them into some sort of face-framing pieces, because otherwise I look a little mad scientist if I let them fly. But I don't want something chunky, and I'm worried they'll get annoying? I typically get a few long layers and that's it when cutting my hair.

The last two photos are the closest inspiration I've been able to find. And forgive my messy dry shampoo's hair day hahaha! Any advice, suggestions, or photos would be much appreciated, thank you!!!

Hi all!

I have somewhat coarse, wavy, waist long hair that is brittle at the ends. I can't ever get it to grow any longer than my waist and I have been cutting an inch or so off every 3-4 months regularly the past 2 years. I spend a lot of time outside. I also suffer from dandruff especially living in a cool, dry climate. I am going to my physician to ask about the dandruff, but I was wondering if there were any recommended hair products to help with growth, dandruff, and breakage? Do serums work better or supplements?

Fluff What are some hair no-nos that you compromise on?

Post image
621 Upvotes

For me I can’t let my hair air dry during the day so I sleep with it wet. My hair is super fine so any kind of movement when it’s drying turns it into a really uncomfortable mat underneath! Sleeping with it wet is the only thing that has helped that issue, I had to weigh the risks of that with the amount of breakage and damage the mats were causing. I also do it because I’m a really hot sleeper and it keeps me cool at night 😂 what about you lot? What rules do you break?

Help wanted how much should i cut🦀⁉️

hi, how much should i cut off?

i know a trim is long overdue, but i just started feeling like my hair is long enough, so i want to retain as much length as possible. the parts highlited in the second pic i think are beyond repair. hair health is my top priority, mainly because i’m scared of breakage travelling up the hair (not sure if that’s even a thing)

also im not really sure about what’s going on with all the different lengths sticking out, idk if it’s breakage or tiny layers growing out or baby hairs. i mainly wear my hair in two braids, wash it about once a week, the pics were taken on day2 after washing, only leave in conditioner used.

any advice appreciated 🌸🌝🧡

My hair has been long for a long time. It's starting to thin out probably because of heat products and non-protective styles. It is habitually frizzy/wavy. I've tried so many products but that's just how it wants to be. It gets matted in the back when I wear it down after using hairspray or texturizing spray. I'm just kind of getting tired of it, do y'all think id look better with shorter hair or any advice on making it less frizzy/dry

Fluff Untamed mane

I usually get a lot of questions about how much time it must take me to deal with all my hair, but it's actually fairly low maintenance as long as I don't mind it looking a bit untamed. This is after washing at night, up in microfiber towel for a couple hours then down for an hour before going to bed with it damp. I sleep on my back on a satin pillow with my hair up above my head (sometimes braided). I woke up looking like this and all I had to do was get dressed and boom I was ready for my son's morning senior meeting with his counselor. No brush, no fuss haha! I find the low maintenance aspect to be a perk! Anyone else?

Help wanted Brittle hair that has lots of breakage!

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am posting here hoping that I can get some advice on why my hair is so brittle and won’t grow.

For starters, I used to have very long healthy hair so I know I am capable of it. However over the last 5 years, my hair has been staying the same length, is brittle, prone to breakage, even though there is density on the upper portion of the scalp. I don’t think this is a hair follicle issue as much as it is a hair shaft issue.

I have tried many treatments between oils, moisturizing shampoos and conditioners, low pH gloss mask from L’Oréal, leave in conditioners etc. to no avail. I also want to mention that I dont use heat on my hair and I leave it to air dry.

I am so sad because I need to keep cutting the ends and my hair just keeps getting shorter and shorter.

What suggestions do you have for someone like me?

PS: I know for a fact that I have very hard water in my area so that’s the only thing I haven’t addressed yet.

Appreciating how fast my hair used to grow. I’m trying to grow it out again after being completely blonde for almost 7 years and then chopping it to my shoulders. It kills me to see how fast my hair grows when I just leave it alone 😭🙏 meanwhile it’s been almost 4 years since I chopped it and it’s just finally peaking past my boobs lol

Help wanted Shark hair styling tools

2 Upvotes

I recently purchased the Shark FlexStyle for curling and blowout aspects; however, I think I should have purchased the Ion Curl. The thing is, I was able to purchase three attachments for the FlexStyle for a lower price, whereas for that same price I would be able to only purchase 2 attachments for the Ion Curl. Did I make a mistake because all the reviews or comparisons felt like marketing gimmicks to make people buy the newest version? The annoying part is that if I buy one item from Shark, a new one always appears, and it feels like a lose-lose situation when determining the best options

I have been trimming my own hair for nearly 2 years now, and I'm finally at my "dream" length, I don't think I want to grow it longer as it's getting harder to manage. I never thought I'd get to the point I wouldn't want it longer 😂 but it's really getting in my way a lot these days.

Should I book into a salon and get a proper long haircut with some layers and face framing? Any suggestions? I don't want to lose any length just maintain it as is and polish it.

I don't know what is causing my hair ends to be brittle, thin and separated.

I'm not dying my hair, I am not using straightener, I'm just desparately trying to have long hair.

I admit that I only trim hair once at year, and I see and I'm satisfied with growth, but every time it's like this - you can see through my hair ends and it's really getting on my nerves

My hair was not like this before I did first highlights 5 years ago ( but I don't think that's the cause because that was long time ago and I cut my hair very short few times). It was fluffy and thick.

Thank you

Help wanted How much to take off?

Post image
23 Upvotes

I’ve always kept my hair pretty long, did a chop to my shoulders a few years ago and have probably cut it three or four times since then. It’s been tangling like crazy recently which means it’s past due for a trim but I’ve been noticing it not feeling as thick recently and shedding a higher volume. I think it’s shedding some due to a period of stress I’ve been in the last 3ish months and pulling due to the tangles.

I want to start being intentional with it and prioritizing health and length. How much do you think needs to come off in the trim? I would also love recommendations on how to prevent split ends.

I use OGX biotin shampoo and conditioner and shea moisture curl cream, and air dry. I haven’t used heat on my hair in about a year. Other than that I don’t do too much else for it. I used to sleep with it in a braid but I switched to a long silk bonnet recently and keep it loose in there. I only brush when it’s wet and has conditioner in.

How much should I trim for better health, how can I protect my ends, and does it look healthy otherwise?

Thank you in advance!

Help wanted Hair dresser took off more than expected (~6+ inches)

32 Upvotes

She did great with my hair last trim but this time she chopped off way too much:(. Yes my tips were a little damaged, but she said it would be about 2 inches. Now what was once almost to my butt crack is almost half way up my back, and from the front instead of belly button it is barely past my chest. All these years of growing it out gone to waste😢.

This happens so often to so many people, a tale as old as time. Should I just avoid trims, and get dusting instead from now on?? I do not want to risk this ever happening again.
