oh shit was this a good idea?

wafflecone · « **Reply #1651 on:** 15 Jul 2009, 20:51 »

Tommy my hair does that too, I refer to it as "poofy", although it is likely not the correct term. There is product you can get to help! (I used sunsilk's anti-poof creme). If you are okay with putting girly product in your hair, that is.

BrittanyMarie · « **Reply #1652 on:** 15 Jul 2009, 21:00 »

I assume you've already tried pomade and/or wax, right? That's probably the first step I'd go for... but I usually try to make my hair MORE poofy.

calenlass · « **Reply #1653 on:** 15 Jul 2009, 22:16 »

Is your hair naturally wavy at all, Tommy? You might try washing it with some conditioner instead of shampoo, because there is the same stuff in most conditioners that cleans your hair, but in lesser quantities. That way it doesn't strip all the moisture out. Stripped hair is unmanageable and poofy.

Also I don't wash my hair more than like twice a week, even with just conditioner. I don't think I've put shampoo in it since last month at all. My hair is pretty dry, though, so that is why I can get away with it. If you wash your hair every day because it gets greasy, then that isn't really an option.

tania · « **Reply #1654 on:** 16 Jul 2009, 05:39 »

that just means you have dry hair. use lots and lots of conditioner and if that still isn't enough, try adding an anti-frizz hair serum to your hair after you get out of the shower. a leave-in hair treatment once or twice might help you too.
you should also try combing your hair when blowdrying or straightening instead of brushing it because a lot of hairbrushes are specifically shaped to give more volume to hair.

Gah, my hair is just like Ptommydski's. Goes poofy as soon as it dries out, whatever I do. The fact that it's incredibly thick, wavy and wiry doesn't help either. Every time I go to a barbers they look at it then go get the bigger scissors. Plus I have to wash it often because it gets greasy.

pen · « **Reply #1656 on:** 16 Jul 2009, 05:54 »

bob, your hair is probably trying to replenish the oils it's losing since you wash every day. Try cutting down to once every other day. Initially, it will look and feel gross, but after a couple of weeks, your body will learn that you're not stripping it every day anymore and relax a little.

evilbobthebob · « **Reply #1657 on:** 16 Jul 2009, 05:56 »

Thanks pen, I'll try that. Just means I can be even lazier than usual I guess

J-cob9000 · « **Reply #1658 on:** 16 Jul 2009, 06:19 »

My hair is about like Tommy's. I like it better when it is wet/dirty. I tend to wash it about once a week and it doesn't get too dirty. I'll wash it on Friday night and then by Monday it will be less poofy but not filthy. By Thursday it is almost nasty but I let it wait till Friday.

Oh hey guys I finally got a proper haircut but my camera is lame, it (my hair) is pretty much exactly how Katie Holmes looked when she first got that awesome bob, with full bangs and everything, so nice.

pen · « **Reply #1660 on:** 16 Jul 2009, 15:52 »

bainidhe_dub, I think bangs suit your face, but you should maybe layer the rest to make it look not so fifth grade.

Drill King · « **Reply #1661 on:** 16 Jul 2009, 16:07 »

Wash your hair less frequently, sometimes try to use just conditioner and no shampoo. don't blow-dry it. Sunsilk DOES make a nice anti-poof serum, it's cheap too. Basically Tania is right, it's probably dry/lacking in natural oils.

calenlass · « **Reply #1662 on:** 16 Jul 2009, 21:30 »

Clean hair is a pretty new phenomenon, guys. Most people did not wash their hair more than once a week or so up until the late 70s and early 80s. If you have hair that has a few days' worth of oil built up you can more easily achieve the hairstyles that used to be popular, like the beehive and pin curls. Plus, until recently when people became obsessed with washing their hair every day, most hair products were more or less primitive and pretty bad for the hair, so you had to wait a day or two for it to get back to normal.

You guys are pretty good at this! Now what is a good haircut for boring and ugly people?

That cat does not look pleased to have suffered through hours of bleaching and dying. That shit is unpleasant.

It's also now tripled it's chances of being mistaken for the bodily incarnation of a small-time deity at Burning Man and burned at the stake to release it's soul.

Now, I must agree with Dovey here. Some scene chicks are arousifying. They all have the same cute, chubby little face.

They're everywhere, really. And now with that twitter thing and facebook on mobiles, they invade the meatlands more than ever. Tommy probably has a sophisticated game plan with trajectories and angles of deflection and shit, but I've found it just as easy to draw them into a conversation about [insert awful band name here]. Then I cap the bitch with a poke-ball.

I swear I've poked that exact chick and near enough twenty of her clones over the years.

There's got to be a factory churning them out somewhere. Whichever record label came up with Millionaires probably just went in and bought three straight off the shop floor. Considering the fact that the same factory probably produced their audience too, it must be something of a self-sustaining industry by now.

I'm gonna go with Tommy here. I don't even think any one of those girls could pass a Turing test.

I'm going to see Flock of Seagulls in september and I was wondering, is it acceptable to get my haircut like them?

Professor Snuggles · « **Reply #1682 on:** 26 Jul 2009, 08:54 »

I plan on doing something like that as soon as my hair is long enough.

FruitKat · « **Reply #1683 on:** 29 Jul 2009, 14:05 »

In regards to frizz. I have very fine hair and it only has slight waves in it. It also gets oily ridiculously quickly so I wash it daily.
This means I get the frizz that I think Tommy is talking about. What I have discovered is this stuff http://www.moroccanoil.com/ and by discovered I mean my hair stylist is cute and has pretty hair and she told me it was great and then told me it was $40 a bottle and I could not refuse by that point so now I own my own.
But it actually works really well in protecting my hair, you just put it on while it is still wet and it smells nice and it doesn't get greasy and most importantly it doesn't get frizzy.
It protects the hair from sun damage and the like and is all natural and tiny animal friendly.
Also because you use such a minuscule amount I have had it for about 3 months and am still just under the neck of the bottle.
Hope this helps?

evilbobthebob · « **Reply #1684 on:** 29 Jul 2009, 14:13 »

Thanks FruitKat, I have similar hair so I'll see if I can find that stuff in the UK...

allison · « **Reply #1685 on:** 30 Jul 2009, 06:28 »

Everyone who tells me not to wash my hair every day, please tell me why! It looks nice if I do! If I wash it every other day, it gets greasy and terrible on the second day. Why! WHYYYY!

calenlass · « **Reply #1686 on:** 30 Jul 2009, 08:09 »

People with greasy hair and whose hair gets oily quickly do need to wash their hair everyday, unless you do that thing where you wait two or three weeks or something without washing to let the oils reset and stuff. It is people with drier hair who do not have to. Really, people with dry hair shouldn't wash it every day, at least not with shampoo, because even with deep conditioning you just strip what moisture there is out of it. That is why I usually only "wash" with some generic conditioner anyway, because it cleans just as well. If you have dryer hair but your scalp gets greasy quickly, you can wash just the scalp every other day or so and just condition the ends.

Reed · « **Reply #1687 on:** 30 Jul 2009, 08:25 »

Yeah, I really can't go more than a day without washing my hair because it gets so damn oily (which results in the craziest fucking bedhead).

David_Dovey · « **Reply #1688 on:** 30 Jul 2009, 22:32 »

Although it is worth noting in some cases that the reason that a person's hair gets so oily is because they wash it so much. Your hair gets trained to replace the oils that are stripped away by washing and they can be trained to replace slower as well. If you can go longer and longer without washing your hair it may seriously suck in the beginning, but eventually it'll get better.

MrBlu · « **Reply #1689 on:** 30 Jul 2009, 22:46 »

Oily hair is a heck of a lot better than nappy dry hair.

On that note, I cut off all my hair today. I am sad.

Heavy emphasis on Some Cases, guys. Sometimes you just have oily hair and then you are Boned.

elizaknowswhatshesfor · « **Reply #1692 on:** 05 Aug 2009, 16:19 »

In terms of anti-frizz products if any finds something that works for them, BUY IT IN BULK. I work for a huge chemists/cosmetics company in the UK & get tons of free samples and very very cheap products, esp. when they are at the end of the line....(Can you see where this is going?) everytime I find something that works, they've either already stopped making it or it never gets to the shelves.

I may just be mad because I had a beehive all weekend and my poor backcombed hair is unhappy with me.

And what else can I do to make long, curly hair look interesting with minimal effort? I'm sick of buns and ponytails, and coming *thiiiiiiis* close to just giving it the chop.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #1697 on:** 16 Aug 2009, 09:34 »

Give it the chop!

If the above pictures are anything to go by, short hair would probably suit you!

Eris · « **Reply #1699 on:** 16 Aug 2009, 18:02 »

Just remember that if (when?) you give it the chop then all the weight of the hair will be gone and it will go POUF! I am seriously considering cutting my hair short as well, especially seeing as it is coming into the warmer weather, and have come to terms with the fact that if I cut my hair short it will probably be untameable. But then I will be able to wear hats, which will be good in the sun.
