Ally, you are beautiful.

I wouldn't try really light blond highlights on your hair (it seems to be a trend at my school to get white highlights, pisses me off), but maybe some lighter brown tones. Or go darker. Are you wanting to fully dye your hair and go all dramatic? or do you want lower tones?
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Ally on 03 Dec 2007, 20:19
Full dye, I'm thinking! Haha, I'd look silly with blonde highlights. That is a bizarre trend.

brownette, ally? i think that is a bit of an old term. it's close to dark blonde, i think. it is hard for me to find a picture of the particular shade in my head but a girl i know recently dyed her hair this color. i associate it with a retro look, for some reason. not that that helps you.

Hey Ally, I really like your hair colour, if you change it, i think it should be darker, or more cool shades, because those are the colours which suit you. I think you have a winter complexion, because your skin colour is cool but your features are dark.

I think you should grow it just past the shoulders. Wavy is really cute. If it is a bit longer it will probably sit straighter at the top and curl at the bottom, which looks cool and casual. Side part it, pin back the front strands - and the sides if you need to. Get long layers so that the hair is shaped around your shoulders.

Don't dye it. You'll get sick of the color and either have to keep re-dying it and killing your hair or wait until the dye grows out.

I'm thinking maybe some sort of dark reddish thinggg but I don't know about dying eyebrows or anything and it might look funny. HUH. If I dye it at all. My mom doesn't want me to. :]

Also Ali I am totally growing it! Short + curly = eurghr. But I will side part if more and grab more pins until it is longer.

I think if you went dark auburn, your eyebrows would probably still look good, since even though they won't have the same shade, one isn't going to be dramatically darker or lighter than the other. It's kinda the same as with Princy's hair where I don't think her eyebrows are the same color as her hair but they look nice.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: KTkat on 03 Dec 2007, 21:32
If you want to go reddish, all you have to do is make sure the tone is as dark or darker than your natural color. Red fades fairly easily as a vibrant tone (though a reddish tinge will remain forever), so as a darker tone fades, it won't look weird/have gross roots.

Do NOT go lighter red unless you're ready to keep dying your hair/dye it dark brown eventually. Trust me.

In my opinion your hair looks great... But, if you wanted to change it up, I'd go with a natural looking red, or lighter brown. Any natural colour would work though, I think.

Ally, if you want to change it for the sake of change that is of course your prerogative but I think it's already pretty much the perfect color for you; it goes great with your complexion and your eyes.  Also the waviness is a good thing, I'm really not seeing what a salon could do to improve on how it already looks.  Growing it out a bit is a good idea, but the salon can't do that for you, only time can.

i agree with everyone that said a dark red would look really nice on you.  either that or a dark, rich brown.  if you're planning to dye your heir unnatural colors that require bleach then i agree with what jeph said.  my purple streaks keep turning gray, and i have to redye my hair once a week (really twice a week would be ideal but i don't have the time/money/patience).  if you're willing to put up with it it's worth it, but it is still kind of a pain in the ass!

Post by: jmrz on 04 Dec 2007, 02:08
Ally, I went from blonde to dark dark chocolate brown. My eyebrows look fine. I wouldn't bother dying your eyebrows or anything like that. I think if you wanted to go a dark chocolate brown colour you could and just get them to give you foils the same colour as your natural hair, or a dark chestnut type colour. I most definitely would not go blonde, as it will probably just kill your hair with all the bleach if not done properly and you will end up looking orange. Always scary. You could probably also get away with a deep dark red colour too, even with chocolate brown foils. Just remember that it does grow out if you get a permanent colour done. I go back and get mine redone every 6 - 8 weeks because I cannot stand to deal with blonde regrowth.

Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: tania on 04 Dec 2007, 04:50
a haircut (trim) and then something like lighter or darker brown highlights will probably look amazing on you if your hair is anything like mine (it sort of looks like it is), by which i mean you've got a lot of it. it helps separate the layers and adds more volume without being excessively bushy or crazy. also do not be afraid to dye your hair, the only thing that'll ever really damage it is excessive bleaching and if you don't like the colour you can always go back to your natural one somewhat easily.
also, do not dye your eyebrows! it's dangerous and in my opinion, unnessesary. you have lovely eyes that are even more striking with your dark eyebrows and if you changed the colour it would just throw everything off. don't fix what ain't broke!

I'm with the "don't dye" camp as well. Not only does your natural hair color work very well with your skin tone and facial features, but dyeing your hair tends to screw it up in the long run. If you do decide full-tilt that you need to have your color colored, please have it done by a professional.

Thought of Bald Ally =  :cry:

You can also use a semi-permanent rinse that washes out after a couple of weeks. That is all I used before I got stupid and dyed it all the way.
Also, I don't know about the US, but most salons here will only ever give you a semipermanent. I think this is so you keep coming back. Eh.

at least that way if you dont like it then you can wash it out, cause youve got a nice colour as is but a subtle touch of red or even purple would look nice

I don't know if it's the same on your side of the pond, but the salon my wife went to would dye her hair with whatever she wanted it dyed with, provided she bring the product.

Ally - Don't dye your hair. I used to dye my hair A LOT, then I got super sick of it, and growing it back out was pretty annoying. Also, I think your hair is pretty! If you want to dye some of it, get some super dark brown lowlights or highlights in a reddish-brown color. Low/highlights if done properly also tend to grow out more gracefully when you decide to stop dying your hair. Those are also a better place to start, because you can see how well your hair handles the dye. I've known people with mooface's problem with not being able to hold color well at all, while mine faded very little from the day I dyed it.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Barfy on 04 Dec 2007, 07:54
Ally, I say add a few more layers to your haircut and then go dark red. Make sure it is at least two shades of red, though.

Dyeing eyebrows is easy. You takes the dye you used on your head, apply it to your eyebrows with a mascara wand and leave it in for 3-5 minutes.

Honestly, my mother is a hairstylist, and you've got get coloured hair. And really a trim and maybe a nice conditioner/smoothing serum is all you need. I hate the fact that people assume you need to change the colour/cut to change your hair, honestly, don't touch it. It's lovely, I'm being hypocritical though because I do colour my hair at random(however. never the whole thing). However, ESPECIALLY with curly/really wavy hair, don't dye it, it'll dry out your hair and make it look like crap.

However, you can find a reputable salon and ask them what they think, any place that is worth it's reputation will not give you a terrible haircut/colouring.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Katherine on 04 Dec 2007, 09:50
I'm going to echo the semi-permanent color advice.  You have a very nice natural shade, a red rinse over it would make it nice and shiny and add a new dimension to your hair without ruining it.  If you don't like it, no worries - it'll wash out quickly.  If you do like it - its easy to keep up.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: öde on 04 Dec 2007, 09:59
at least that way if you dont like it then you can wash it out

Semi permanent dyes wash straight out then? So you can't wash your hair for a week or so? Ew.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: tania on 04 Dec 2007, 10:09
semi-permanent is a good option for people with MONIES. it's a good way to test out a colour but if you like it, just go for full-out permanent. you will save far more time and hassle.
perhaps this is only because i have dark hair, but everytime i have ever dyed (http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/2491/21kf6.jpg) it (http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/2465/blackoy4.jpg) it's always ended up fading really nicely back to brown (http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/5463/brownqe9.jpg) and i've never had to worry about roots growing in and so on. perhaps this is a phenomenon unique only to me. unless you bleach your hair, though, i would not worry too much about dying it.

I think that I'm going to try a darkish red-auburn-mahogany color, if I end up dying it at all - something subtle so I don't have to freak out about roots every five seconds.

I also need hair advice! I really wanna cut it, either shorter or really short, because I'm sick and tired of this long hair, but I cannot seem to find any styles I think would look decent on me, because my face is weird (esp. in profile). I need something that either requires zero styling or something that requires easy styling that I can learn quickly (I've had this long hair for like 8-9 years, and have about zero experience with doing anything to hair). Also, I don't want to color it, because my natural color is about the only thing about it I like.

Pre-drying, that shows length: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v26/mariasha/Bilde255.jpg

Get something with layers Ladybug, maybe shoulder length or a little longer to start with, you can always go shorter later if you think you can handle it.

Recently, I dyed my hair black and had it styled with an elvis-esque quiff that left the back and sides short and all the hair on top long. Unfortunately, this kind of quiff is very high maintenance and I was thinking of cutting my hair either really really short, or just quite short, or quite short but with a long fringe... I am not really sure.

All advice is very welcome!

Dan, love, if you get a mohawk i will love you forever.

With dark hair, it's a lot of work to dye. I've done semi-permanent, permanent, peroxide and foils/highlights.

You should dye it, everyone has to try it some time. I'd avoid bleach and peroxide - it's high maintenance and kills your hair - and regrowth sucks on dark hair.

I don't know whether i should go lighter or not. Reddy-brown or chestnut or something? Also, not sure if I still like my fringe.

Dear Ladybug,

You would look even cuter with a side part, a long swoopy fringe, and long layers slightly lower than your shoulders. It's very low-maintenence since it looks like you have pretty naturally straight hair, plus the fringe will highlight your badass high cheekbones, especially if you usually tuck your hair behind your ears. It might be annoying when you're bending over to have it in your face, but you get used to it suprisingly quick.

Miss Squawk, the squawkiest squawk,

Pull a Rihanna/Victoria Beckham-it's pretty sassy but I think you could pull it off really well!

Roddy,
What do you do that's super high-maintenence? You could probably get away with just putting a little pomade in then DONE!
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: ZJGent on 05 Dec 2007, 00:28
ah but with the sides short, you have to comb and re-comb it or it looks bedraggled and then you use too much pomade and it looks greasy and there is no way it will look good in the morning if you have to sleep at someone else's house.

oh, and it is very thick hair, like a monkey's, so the long bit on top at the back is getting really silly-looking.

Trim the chops up a bit neater, and mess with the front a bit. I think you've got essentially something which works for you, you just need to put a little more effort into it.
The look I'm trying to describe is pretty much like this, minus the silly eyebrow. Cute girl next to him/you is up to you!

Uh huh to everything but the fake. (It's gotta be real or not at all.)

But yeah, listen to red. Trim up the chops, get your hair trimmed and the sides a bit shorter, some wax or whatever is good for your hair, and you're good to go.

Post by: Spinless on 06 Dec 2007, 00:54
Bryan, you don't need it cut shorter. You just need bits cut out of it so it doesn't start to look like a mushroom. You do look better with your hair longer. If I were in your position, I'd print one of the pictures that Amanda posted, take it to a decent hairdresser and show it to them. And remember, hair products are your friend!


Gene: Keep your hair long, lose some of the volume, lose some of the length at the back. I think. I'm not a girl, so you shouldn't listen to me, obviously. I just think that longer works in your favour.

Unosuke: Listen to them!

Dan: Cheers, doing it. Only, I'm going to start at 40 of each, is that okay? That doesn't help me with my hair though.

Take volume away from the back by trimming the length and adding layers. Products only seem to work if you want to increase volume, or make your hair look flat. Flat hair isn't a good look for anybody.

Dan: Cheers, doing it. Only, I'm going to start at 40 of each, is that okay? That doesn't help me with my hair though.

40 is fine if you can handle it comfortably.  I don't know how strong or in shape you are so I can't judge that.  I would strongly recommend NOT maxing out (or coming anywhere close to it) on your first day, though.  If you max out, you'll be too sore to do any pushups at all the next day, or the day after that, and it will be very easy for it to end up being a one-time thing that doesn't help you at all.  If you start well within your abilities, though, and increase very gradually, you'll be able to keep doing them every day until in the long run you can do far more than you ever thought.

I know this has nothing to do with hair, sorry. [/hijack]

Curly hair is awesome! I had a perm when I was younger, and although ill-advised with my length and type of hair, it was fun having curls! You don't have to brush your hair all of the time and it looks awesome mostly.

Anyway.


I am sorry I forgot about this thread when I posted my most recent picture!
Let me try again.

(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2166/2091143872_2ca218ef2a_m.jpg)

I had a big old whitish skunk stripe put in my hair yesterday and I do not know what colour to dye it! I have done hot pink and bright red before and I really like both, but this time perhaps something different.
The current suggestion I am liking is turquoise, but maybe that is a bit much?

i have naturally wavy hair which looks awful on me, and so i keep my hair very short and straight. i have no doubt curls would look even more dreadful.
it depends on the person and their individual face shape and all that. some people (i.e. manda) look great with curls, other people (i.e. me)... not so much.

one of my housemates also has extremely thick, curly hair which she keeps really short. every couple of months or so it inevitably ends up growing into an afro and she stomps around the house complaining about it.

Lunchy - If you want a bright color, maybe violet? I don't know how well turquoise would work with the brown, but I know violet would.

Re curls: I wish I had curly hair. The last time I got curls to stick (6 years ago?), it took almost an entire bottle of hairspray. My hair just does not like to do anything curly or wavy unless I sleep with wet hair and wake up with some interesting kinks.

Alright, how about;

2) Cut said fringe in a method that makes it spike into a single horn.
3) Dye the fuck out of said fringe.
4) Spike into a unicorn-esque horn daily.


Come on, it would definitely be more interesting.

Darryl: What. Did. You. Do.

RWS don't do that, short fringes are dumb and also terribly hard to get looking right if you don't have naturally straight hair! Unless you really want to cut it then you should get it so it goes into a sideswept fringe like mine used to.

Wait right above eye level isn't really that short-it'd be like the guy's in Normz photo, and she could still side sweep em only she would be able to see out of both eyes! Though I think right above the cheek-below the eye (ie not really that much shorter than what she already has) would be most fitting for her, because it would bring out the cheekbones more.

Normz, personally I like the shorter cut on you better, but the color in the second one.

Longer it is, then! Both look nice anyway.
 
I just get all confused when I hear that shorter hair is harder to maintain, since I have chin-length kinda wavy hair and all I ever do post-shower is maybe put a little mouse or styling cream, then walk out the door. When my hair was elbow-length, I always had to blow it dry (which took forever) and straighten it (since it was shitty wave when long).
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)

With curly hair, between chin and shoulder length is definately the easiest to take care of. I have discovered this through trial and error.

RWS I think you look really great with the bangs down and maybe just a little less good with them up (my preferences tend towards hair down in general, so there's my bias). Maybe have them up when you're going casual and down when you're dressing up? I imagine having them down in your eyes would get annoying?

normz all of the QUIFFS are really cute so you should keep it longish, I have really no preference between the first two shots you posted, but the last two are rad.

Lunchbox, thankyou for actually answering my question seriously, I was more or less thinking of doing what you said, I might try to work something out with the hairdresser when I get there/just let them do whatever the hell they want. And yes I condition religiously, otherwise my hair knots up like a mo-fo.

It could be said that I just completely regurgitated what Audacity said, making that last post pointless... Or you could take it as me taking part in this thread and giving you advice on your hair, further encouraging the "Don't touch your hair, it looks good" option.


If 1 person says it looks good, don't touch it, it may not be as reassuring as if 100 people did(or 2?).

to be honest, i really like it the way it is as well.
my tendency is to offer hair advice when people ask for it because (personally) when i ask for hair advice, it usually means i'm really fed up and bored with how my hair currently is and have already made a decision to change it - as a result i tend to get sort of annoyed when people tell me to just keep it the way it is.
if you really can't stand your hair anymore i think short and spiky is a pretty good route, but your current haircut works on you too.

Tommy, usually I hate the spiky look. Very few people can pull it off, without looking like a complete douchebag. But it looks good on you.



What should I do with my hair/what color should I dye it next?
(http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q228/andlemonade/P6040150.jpg)


Basically, it is long on the top and short everywhere else. I dyed it red not too long ago, but that has sort of faded into the purple it was previously. I am thinking of dying it red Thursday, maybe. Maybe a different color. I really wanted to dye it a dark blue this time around, but I couldn't find any dye.

I don't think I want to change the length much. I just need to stop being lazy and straighten it more often. I used to get a lot of compliments on it when I did that.

Tania made big list on this topic.

REASONS TOMMY IS PROBABLY GAY

- goes to a "salon" to get his hair cut
- wears scarves when it isn't actually cold outside
- only owns form-fitting clothing
- spends more time in the bathroom after a shower than most girls
- lives alone with his cat
- fixes his hair every time he walks past a mirror
- enjoys cleaning
- drinks tea
- introduced "gae"
- frequently uses the word "lovely" as an adjective
- frail, girly wrists
- effeminate lisp
- highlights in his hair
- claims to have previously been with a vast quantity of women, a common lie among gay men (overcompensation?)
- whines and flinches when hit
- morbid fear of anal sex is probably extreme denial
- incapable of long-term relationships with women
- doesn't mope around after being rejected by a girl
- is able to find attractive qualities in unattractive girls, something a straight man just isn't capable of
- profoundly stupid at math and other "manly" fields
- consistent encouragement towards others to be more open minded may actually be preparation for when he comes out
- admitted that his whole family believe he is gay and that he is unable to convince them otherwise
- wants to move to a city, not enough dick in the country side for a cock thirsty whore?
- has posted pictures of himself on the internet wearing a dress, why would he own a dress?
- enjoys "tom of finland" drawings
- convinced everybody that tania is gay, possibly to deflect attention away from himself?
- once watched two dudes going at it; did not look away or leave room
-enjoys watching big sweaty men kicking balls around on football pitches and slapping each other on the butt.
-often greets other males with a friendly slap on the butt.
- has a rainbow bumper sticker that says "i love it when balls are in my face"

VS

REASONS TANIA IS PROBABLY GAY

- boyish, dykey haircut
- deep, mannish voice
- hates patriarchy
- thinks of bedroom floor as a perfectly respectable place for clothing and/or garbage
- random, frightening acts of violence
- bizarre adversity towards hygeine
- never seems to have a boyfriend
- wears "old spice" deoderant
- lives with lesbians
- goes to guelph
- frequently greets friend and/or begins sentences with "man" or "guys"
- messy and disgusting eater
- doesn't wear or own makeup
- went to chicago last summer with a mutual friend who was really not her boyfriend and they didn't fuck or anything
- rarely (if ever) seen in revealing clothing
- can legitimately beat the shit out of most men
- felt guilty when making this list upon noticing tommy had more points than her, possibly due to true homosexual nature
- one time these two girls came into her room and had sex beside her bed and she woke up and didn't tell them to stop
- tommy said she's a lesbian, he hasn't been wrong about anything to date

long?

(i think i post this picture too often but it's the only good recent picture i have of me with long hair and i think tommy likes this picture anyways so i guess that makes it okay?)

I wish I could pull off short hair, but my face shape doesn't allow it. It looks awkward/really really bad.
So since short hair looks shitty, I'm left with long boring hair and nothing to do with it. I might want to dye it, but don't know what colour would do well..
Suggestions?

(well, um, there was an almost-even split between short and long so i guess i am going to go with medium.  it's a compromise!)

also, to audacity:  even if you do not want short hair, you could always try out a new haircut!  also, what kind of dyeing were you thinking of?  a natural color?  weird colors?

Audacity: Yes, but don't get straight across bangs, I think they would make you look younger. Try some simple, sweepy bangs, like this girl's but a little bit shorter.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v632/lisayoder/1215071448.jpg)

I like your long hair. I think you should get a few inches cut off, because going from longlong hair to short hair is not usually a good idea, no matter how badly you think you want it (trust me, I'm speaking from recent experience).

(Also whenever I see your username my brain goes "AUDACITY, BOLDNESS." It is the definition of a vocabulary word that I learned for school long ago but I don't know what word! I just know the definition.)

This is my hair now

fringe, shaved sides and a crazy colour

The only thing I can think of that would fit would be a mohawk, but a more feminine, awesome version. (I need to find a picture to more accurately describe this, though.) Or cut your current cut into more of a 20s style bob, which would probably be the easiest and not too drastic. (But if drastic is what you're going for, totally go with a mohawk.)

That is true. I remember once having a conversation with someone about how short hair on girls can look really nice (I thought yes, they disagreed) and they the started referring to really ugly hairstyles (old lady perms, that sort of thing) in order to prove their point. I was just like, "well sure, ugly short hair looks ugly. Ugly long hair looks ugly too."

What is a good semi-permanent hair dye? Because fuck manic panic. I have tried to dye my hair with that shit, and five attempts in the past two days, and all I've managed to dye it my tub, my sink, and the rest of my bathroom.



My hair is still very much alive, and not falling out/apart, though.

The only thing I can think of that would fit would be a mohawk, but a more feminine, awesome version. (I need to find a picture to more accurately describe this, though.) Or cut your current cut into more of a 20s style bob, which would probably be the easiest and not too drastic. (But if drastic is what you're going for, totally go with a mohawk.)

I had a mowhawk once, it was too many efforts!  Also the problem with getting a bob (which could be cute) is that the shorter my hair tends to get the more it fluffs. Like an enormous cloud (see junglewoman id).
I hate my hair so bad.

Also Emaline, I use Wakk Stain, which is by Fudge but is cheaper and works awesomely.

Sadly, I think they only beauty supply store we have around here is Sally's, and I don't think they have it(or at least I didn't see any the last time I was there). However, the owner is nice, so maybe I can talk her into ordering it for me. Hopefully. I'm completely unsatisfied with Manic Panic.

I have kind of wavy dark brown hair. It is basically a classic layered bob with heavy bangs, aka Boring. I like the color for the most part, and the cut is the best cut for me, but it is just meh with a side order of blah. I was thinking taking a one to two inch wide diagonal strip of hair from behind my left earlobe to right above my right ear, bleaching it, and coloring it a deep blue. Would that look stupid or pretty neat?

Firefox also says "colour" is spelled incorrectly.  I suspect that this is because it is, in fact, spelled  incorrectly.  Firefox also allows you to add incorrectly spelled words to the dictionary if you have a desire to continue living in your delusional little British world, though.  Or if you really want to be all silly about it, Firefox even allows you to install new dictionaries.  The "English / United Kingdom" one might be to your liking.

Post by: Darkbluerabbit on 29 Dec 2007, 17:30
I agree.  FUCK Manic Panic.  Unless you want to redye every week.   

Special Effects makes the best semi-permanent dyes that I've tried.  I buy mine from a local record store, but you can order it online.  My hair is dirty blonde, and I've never bleached it, but it's still very vibrant and long lasting.  It's not good if you don't want to commit though.  I kept my hair purple for a while, but stopped dying it in late February in hopes of reaching a more employable hair color by summer.  I did get a job, but my hair was definitely still pinkish, even in late July when I quit. 

Pentaen:  I like the length of the front portion, it is indeed nicely face framing.  You could maybe trim up the back a little, except that might be even more Pete Wentzy.  Not that that matters.  As GenericName pointed out, just avoid badly done eyeliner and posing pantsless with your Morrissey records, and you will be fine.

Post by: tania on 29 Dec 2007, 18:30
pentaen: i agree, long hair does suit your face structure better than shirt hair. i would recommend keeping it longish but maybe trimming and adding some layers? possibly some bangs? i am probably biased as this is the same advice i also gave anna but really i love bangs and i just think more people should have them. bangs are so great. here is a picture of my friend seth to give you an idea of what i am kind of trying to describe.

None of you have been particularly helpful to me!  I think it is going to be one of those times when I go to the hairdresser and say:  I want to keep a fringe and my shaveys, please do whatever you like with my cloud hair to make me look good and non-butch.

I have seen some really cool fluffy hairstyles.  I would even suggest layers to maximize fluffiness.  I picture ex-Cursive cellist Greta Cohn.  She has short bangs and crazy awesome "cloud" hair.

It looks wicked when she really digs into the cello.  Curls bouncing like mad.

I have a hair appointment on Wednesday. 
This is my current mess.  What should I have them do to it?

(http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p316/darkbluerabbit/Pre-hair.jpg)

The last actual haircut I had was almost a year ago, and it was damage control after I drunkenly chopped off 10-12 inches.  Before that I just had longass dirty hippie hair, so I don't have much experience in choosing flattering styles.  I am thinking of going a little shorter, maybe even with a fringe, but I really have no idea what would actually suit me.  As long as it is low maintenance and long enough to put in a ponytail, I will be happy.

Bad news: Your hair is kinda messy with the dyes and overall unkemptiness

Good news: You seem to be a pretty girl, and I think you could pretty much pull off most straight hairstyles. I say cut it about chin length, straighten/thin it and dye it something dark.

Like this one, if you ignore the mowhawk.  She has pretty hair!

That doesn't negate the trying-too-hard factor though :/
I love the pink, that is self-expression through physical appearance. This shaved thing is trying desperately to stick it to all the people you dislike every time they look at you, but backfiring by fulfilling whatever negatives they might already have unfairly attributed to you.

(This is my personal opinion of hair styles like this, please don't take it as a personal affront! This is how I would react and think of you if I saw you in a crowd and didn't know you)

Oh no, I am not offended, that would just be silly!

I am changing it to a really really bright red anyway, and seeing as I already have a shaved head, it will just be extending the shaveys.  I think I will just make it so I have like...circle hair.  Shave around the underneath and higher on the sides and wear it in pigtails I guess!.  Like and undercut I guess?

i hate to be a bitch but before i even saw that last comment i couldn't stop thinking to myself that girls with weirdly shaved hair remind me of gabbers and skinheads :\

then again, i am sure that you (ebony willow) are neither so if it's what you really want then go for it... that is not really a hairstyle you would consider wearing if you cared what other people think, anyways.

i didn't say she was a nazi.  i said that the hairstyle she is considering reminds me strongly of hairstyles that i have seen on people who i know to be skinheads.  and i'm not pulling this out of my ass (http://www.adl.org/hate_symbols/skin_chelsea.asp).

obviously just because she wants such a haircut does not actually make ebony willow some sort of neo-nazi - i am sure she just wants this haircut because she thinks it looks nice. i hope the fact that her haircut personally reminds me of some distasteful people doesn't mean that this thread will devolve into some silly internet argument.  i think ebony willow should get her hair cut any way she wants.

Yeah, it is the hairstyle of girlfriends of skinheads (not necessarily nazi ones though!) you know the song, chelsea girls like skinhead boys.
Anyway, i'm obviously not a nazi, I do just like the style.  I think i will just shave more of my head than is already shaved and keep some hair for piggytails.

I am getting my hair cut tomorrow! I'm nervous as hell, and I still don't know how I'd like to get it cut - I think I'll say that I want to keep some length, because I can always cut more off later, but growing it back out takes forever - maybe get some layers or something.

Man, I wish my mom didn't kinda know how to cut my hair - I shouldn't have to be this nervous about going to a hairdresser for the second time in my life when I'm almost 21.

Haha, I think that was about the age when my brothers stopped letting her cut their hair as well. She'd either do it too short or too "conservative" or whatever, so they eventually got pissed off and one after the other went "That's it, I'm going to a hairdresser the next time.".

My hair has been fairly simple to cut, though. Just needed some trimming about once a year (she once cut 15cm, when she was supposed to cut like 3 - almost refused letting her do it again after that one), and I could've done that myself, except for the whole not-seeing-my-back-thing.

Hey Tommy, what about like Keira Knightly? I could never figure out why I thought she was hot, but I do. Granted, I have never fucked her, so she still might be really bad at sex, I dunno.

Temporary (bad) post-haircut photo. It's weird and annoying (hangs down into my face :x), but I'm hoping I'll get used to it - so far I'm digging the lighter feel. She said she layered it a bit and cut off a lot, but I don't think it was that much, at least not in the back.. She said it was drastic enough, though, I'm sorta thinking she was afraid I'd regret it or something. But hey, I can always chop off more later, but growing it out if she cut off too much would take longer.

I think it would be massively awesome if you tied it in a bit of a ponytailsortofthingorhoweveryoucallthem, with just bits hanging lose on the front. The problem i always have with a hairstyle like this, is that it sort of seems to hide your face a bit, which always to me gives an impression of a bit of insecurity.

Kinda... (does this sound like it makes sense?)

Also, here is proof my facial hair isnt shaved off (yet)

Yeah, I get what you mean, and I kinda agree. Sure, there is lots of insecurity there, but it's not like I want to show it off or whatever. However, the hair hanging into my face like that drives me nuts, so I might continue just tucking it behind my ears, if I don't get used to it. The ponytailthingy with hanging "bangs"/whatever it's called doesn't work for me, 'cause my face is too fat/wide, it looks stupid. Might work if/when I lose more weight.

Post by: Spinless on 06 Jan 2008, 00:42
hmmm
The more I consider the implications of this thread, the more I think we need more like it! I believe that no human should be in charge of their own personal appearance!

Two of the formerly most attractive people I ever knew have now RUIIIINED their appearances with terribly fortnightly hair experiments and a really bad eaaaar piercing.
Her hair used to be beautiful, then she dyed, and it looked nice. Now she dyes it frequently and you can't even tell what colour it is anymore! And her hair is now really thin, you can tell so easily! And it looks like it may break off!
And him! His ear! The piercing looks awfully silly, but I am too polite to say 'that makes you look like an asshole'!!! What is worse, the tissue around the piercing has turned into lumpy scar tissue! It is huge! I am deeply saddened that these attractive people have ruined themselves to look at.

What I am trying to say...
Is that we should pay more attention to this thread.

Chrasstor, if you want the piercing, get it. But be CERTAIN about where you want it, and be ridiculously obsessive with your aftercare and maintenance! Be careful not to look like an asshole! But don't go for the dye job. If you really must, you can go a darker brown. But not black!
I am genuinely concerned about you and your appearance. There are things you can do that aren't dye-jobs and piercings. Even the slightest haircut can make a huge difference, and clothes! Oh my, new clothes are fantastic. Maybe attempt an even haircut and comb it once in a while?

Hmm...maybe I'll deliver anonymous notes through their letterboxes in the middle of the night when they sleep expressing my concerns about their physical appearance...
Yes.
Because that wouldn't be strange or unwelcome, whatsoever!

But as to the piercing, I got my ear pierced about two months ago, and aside from the "Oh harr harr, you got it in the wrong ear," comment (it was only one), people seem to be saying "You have the right face for it. It looks good."

The point being: We have a similar face, but I have a sketchy mustache and I shave my head.

Go for it!

Roo, thankyou for expressing your concern, I do appreciate it. As far as sleep goes, I think I'm doing okay right now. But, I got these words, in my head, just swirling around. And I have to type pointless drivel sometimes to try and put some sort of order to them so I don't get a headache. It's easy enough to avoid, and I do hope it doesn't bother anybody to read what I think sometimes and see me use tangential stories in order to try to better convey my feelings on a certain topic. My feelings in this particular case being that it's generally not a good idea to dye your hair black and that you have to be real fucking careful if you want a piercing.

Oh, and I'm of the female persuasion.


What is worse, the tissue around the piercing has turned into lumpy scar tissue! It is huge!

You really would not be being an asshole if you politely told this guy to take out the piercing.  The jewelry will only continue to irritate the scar and it will keep getting bigger.  He's probably just hoping that it will go away.  It won't.

Okay, I'm getting remarkably tired of the fact that my hair is long enough that I can't just ignore its existence, so it's time to get rid of some or all of it.  Right now it looks like this:
(http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd18/BobJoeJim22/Hair1.jpg)
(http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd18/BobJoeJim22/Hair2.jpg)
I'm very tempted just to shave it, because that would be cheaper, more convenient, and probably more amusing than paying someone to cut it.  On the other hand I am vaguely worried that it could be a really stupid idea.  I did shave it once before, here is a really low quality picture of what it looked like:
(http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd18/BobJoeJim22/Shavedhead.jpg)
So, should I shave it?  Or would I be better advised to get an actual haircut?
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: BobJoeJim on 06 Jan 2008, 15:49
I know I don't need a haircut for aesthetic purposes, I like the way it looks when I take the time to wash it and comb it and whatnot.  The problem is I'm lazy and hate doing that.  I want it to be short enough to ignore, which right now it isn't.  I can give you a picture from when I roll out of bed if you doubt me, hehe.  So the question here isn't "should I get rid of some of my hair" because I'm going to.  The question is, when I do get rid of some of it, would getting rid of ALL of it be stupid?
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: GenericName on 06 Jan 2008, 16:04
From the low-quality picture and my imagination, you can pull off the shaved head look, so if you're looking for low maintenance, I'd say go for that.

Personal anecdote: On another forum, a guy unironically said, "grow long hair because all you have to do is give it a good shake and you're good to go." I immediately cringed.

Don't shave it. Even though the shaved head pic is blurry, it's enough to say you should just get an inch or two cut off. (It's not bad, I just think you look better with hair!) Your hair is nice now, though I know you don't want to keep it.

Post by: tania on 06 Jan 2008, 19:06
though you pull off the shaved head look pretty good, i think an actual haircut would be more effective in balancing your facial hair. i'll also have to agree with linds and recommend just cutting off a couple of inches rather than anything drastic.

Yeah, I think bald works on you, but hair would be better. At least go for a short haircut, I would think, because you've got such a fuzzy beard and nice/friendly face (judging off of that one picture), meaning you'd look too nice to be a skinhead.

So what do you think, keep the beard or no? I unfortunately don't have a good picture of me without the beard, I looked through every picture of me I have, and almost none were taken sans facehair. I had big chops for awhile but decided I didn't really look that great with em.

I really need a haircut too, once my bangs start to get long enough that I need to sorta part them to keep them out of my eyes, my ever-receding hairline becomes really apparent. Stupid genetics, I'm only 21! I shouldn't be going bald this soon!

I think it all looks neat as is, except the fringe is maybe one or two centimetres long. Get it cut up sort of raggedy to go with the scruffy beard stylee.

It's a good thing I wasn't on the ball last week, otherwise you'd have had no end of beard jokes. If you were fatter, you could be a dwarf! By the way, Gandalf, did I ever thank you for paying for everything? The way you could just conjure up cash was quite impressive.
Say, while you were in Yorkshire, who was feeding your ox?

Hollow, you shouldn't try to pretend your hairline isn't where it actually is. Guys can wear their hairlines with pride and look quite attractive doing it. That said, I wouldn't change a thing. Maybe a shot from the front for me to be certain?

Has anyone here tried any color experiments on long thick curly hair?  I want to add some color here and there but I just don't know if it would work,  given my hair type.  Fringe, highlights, anything.  Has anyone tried any of these things and been able to pull it off?  This is a general question, and if the answer is somewhere in this thread, I'm sorry for not reading through all of it before posting.

I am currently rocking my natural curl, but I have never in my life dyed it, or even highlighted it. I have thought it would be kinda cool to throw some blue streaks in a little underneath, but my current job doesn't allow any unnatural hair colors, so that wouldn not fly.

Going bald young is what it's all about. You learn who is a true friend and who likes you just for your hair. I would hate to have that happen later in life. Unfortunately, once you or others around you start to easily notice that you are going bald its time to go with the short hair cut. An inch or two is usually ok to begin, then shorten the length as your hairline continues its inexorable march to the back of your head.

I started to notice hair loss at about 18 and had to give up longer styles about five years later. It sucks but don't do anything drastic that would make you look ridiculous. Plenty of guys look good going bald and I have even met a few women you prefer bald men. So don't give up hope.

Facialy hair is always great. I got the winter beard in full effect.

It is both. I really can't grow enough hair for it to be worth growing in, so I just keep it shaved. It's just ridiculously thin on top, which is a shame, because I've got an absolutely killer widow's peak.

Thick hair rocks, but it can border on ridiculous.  I've had people hide cards and pens and such small objects in my hair without me even feeling them. 

anyways, any more suggestions?
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Eris on 09 Jan 2008, 15:58
I have! My hair is naturally a boring ashy brown, and has gone to dark purple with bright red bits through it on more than one occasion. I had to go to the hairdressers and spend an inordinate amount of money to do it, but I ended up looking like this:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Lapuz/me/haircut.jpg)
rather than this:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Lapuz/me/ME.jpg)
I've also had my hair more red overall than that picture, but I have an awful lot of photos of my in my photobucket and can't seem to find the one I am looking for. Oh well. Anyway, I generally get my hair thinned, because it is ridiculously thick. That is about the only way it can be even remotely manageable, especially since I got it cut short and it decided to go really curly. The only problem I have is it goes frizzy really easily, and I have yet to master how to overcome that. Though I thoroughly recommend getting colours in your hair, if you can get away with it, because it is awesome!

I've got this great shampoo and conditioner called DevaCurl, which I'm pretty sure you can get in salons.  The stuff seriously calmed my hair down - it is straighter and far less frizzy and poofy. 

But dying the bits works?  I just have a lot of layers and thought that they would get hidden.  I didn't know it was feasable!  Thanks!  Maybe now I'll look more into what I want to end up doing with my hair.

I got tired of the scratchyness and all, and shaved it all off again. Funny anecdote: trimmer + moustachehairs + breathing through your nose = moustachehairs in nose...

Apparently you but some curl definer-y goopstuff in it, and using a hair dryer with a diffuser dry scrunched up handfuls on a low setting so that it is slightly damp then let it dry the rest by itself. It still went a bit frizzy and boofy (as you an see at the back of my head), but not as much! I will have to see if I can do it tomorrow after I wash it.

Post by: calenlass on 15 Jan 2008, 11:09
I put some anti-frizz stuff in mine and just leave it. Sometimes I scrunch it a bit, but mostly it just kind of does its own thing. I mean, since it is sentient and also terrifying, I don't really want to piss it off or it might turn its viciousness on its host, you know?

I think I'll get it cut a little longer than it was when that second photo was taken, and then work out what to do with the beard.

I've been threatening for a while to shave the "beard" bit off and just leave some massive cheek-engulfing mutton chops for a week or so. Maybe I'll do that and then shave properly.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)

I would say to get your hair cut like that again and just trim up the beard a bit to see how the combination looks. And if it's not that good, just shave it all off!

Thanks for the advice (oh, and the ego-stroking too, that was nice). I was planning to go and get a haircut today, but that never happened, sadly. It occurs to me that I have no idea where to get a good haircut in London, though, as I've only been to one place in the city, and I don't particularly plan to revisit it.

So as Winter is theoretically coming around again this year I thought I might get dreadlocks again seeing as how they are not hideously expensive (my girlfriend is a hairdresser) and they come out fairly easy (they will in fact be synth. dreads). I really liked having the dreads when I did, and most people seemed to like the look of them.

They probably won't be as long as the ones I had when this pic was taken but they'll still be about shoulder length, and probably in black and blue instead of red.

Dear Manda,

While my hair is not nearly as curly as yours, I have pretty wavy hair with bangs. One thing I've learned is that they can be trained! If you blowdry, you can semi-straighten them with your fingers so that they're still kind of curly, but not one big fat sausage curl. You can do this if you air dry too though- after a couple days of tugging on them the same way, they'll start to lay the way you want. I guess I think you look a little cuter with the bangs, but it's probably impossible to make you look even remotely uggo.

For me, it's more about the fact that I hate shaving, and not having to do it regularly outweighs any downsides to having a beard. Also, I personally feel I look better (or at least just as good) with a beard than I do cleanshaven, and others agree with me.

WHAT IS WITH YOU PEOPLE AND FACIAL HAIR

I believe it is some sort of ritualistic behaviour, dating back to the days where we all lived in caves. Whoever had the most hair in various places, won.

Mainly because the hairy fuckers didn't die of cold during the winter.

That behaviour has instinctively carried over, into this segment of the male population. Metrosexuals seem hell-bent on removing facial- and body hair, while the good lads on this board embrace our true nature as hairless-but-still-pretty-darned-hairy Apes.
Give it time, and we'll start comparing chest hair..

Anyways - Great cut! I really like it!

I got a "haircut" yesterday. Basically I got a trim on the bottom, which look uneven this morning, and told the lady cut my fringe so that the shortest bit was above my eyebrows. Unfortunately I forgot to specify that I wanted my fringe to stop before it hit my cheekbone, so basically I still have my overgrown fringe but with a really odd, steep angle to it. I wanted it out of my face, but nope, still there, so I have to go get it fixed later, because for some reason I never notice these things while I'm actually in the salon. Meh.

Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: tania on 02 Feb 2008, 16:27
i'm going to have to say no to the blue. no offense but it kind of makes you look like one of the x-men or something.
if you're really intent on adding colour, though, i think you'd have more luck with something in the reddish or maroon league. though maybe not that placement exactly.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Boro_Bandito on 02 Feb 2008, 16:47
The placement was fun with Paint, nothing more.

I do think I want to add some crazy color though, I'm not sure if I really particularly care if it'd make me look good or not, just for something out of the ordinary.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Lunchbox on 02 Feb 2008, 19:25
Phil! My advice is: Yes on the spiking, but only do it sort of on the front half. It looks a bit too much spiked all the way back. As a rule I think boys look silly with streaky different colours in their hair (unless they have a mohawk, in which case it is illegal to not have crazy colour), but if you like it then maybe you could rock a darker blue like Squiddy? I can't figure out where it would look best though.
Basically my advice is pretty useless. Sorry.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Jimmy the Squid on 02 Feb 2008, 19:30
Phillipe, Phillipe, Phillipe. The saddest thing is when a guy with short spiky hair gets big chunks of colour and looks like a fool. Also his parents stop loving him.


If you're going to get colour in that spiky mess you're going to have to go subtle. And by that I mean little bits of colour all through it, as opposed to big chunky bits. Basically if you're going to a hairdresser ask for bleached highlights then get them to dye the highlights a dark blue or even a light purple.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Lunchbox on 02 Feb 2008, 19:32
Purple would probably suit your skin tone better than blue but I don't know if you will get people thinking you are a bit of a pansy for it.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Lines on 02 Feb 2008, 20:16
If it's more of a plumish purple (dark), I think it'd be okay. But what Jimmy said about placement would be good. Random chunks are not so great with short hair, but more of a highlight placement would be good. I suggest you stick to the blue/purple/red area of the spectrum, though.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: tania on 02 Feb 2008, 20:28
speaking only from my experience, i'd also recommend not adding colour at all unless you really really want to, and then maybe getting it professionally done if you can, only because your hair is so dark and the bleach will most likely kill your hair. of course, lots of people bleach their hair all the time and don't care anyway because they love the colour, so it's pretty much up to you. i was pretty shocked by the amount of damage frequent bleaching and dying did to my hair back when i was younger so it's just good to know these things beforehand.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Ladybug on 03 Feb 2008, 04:13
I'm gonna vote yes on the spikes, I think, but no on the color - but I love dark hair and am not a huge fan of colored hair on most people, but on some I guess it looks good/okay.

Also, you have kind of pretty eyes.

I really want to get my hair cut again, because after finally taking the step and going to a salon my mom recommended, it wasn't too scary, and she didn't cut off enough to really make a difference. I still have long, annoying hair, just shorter around my face, which I still haven't gotten used to and find even more annoying. But I can't afford it, and going to some random hairdresser I've never even heard about is still scary.

Ignore the face, it's the hair we're here for. Basically, I've redone the red so my hair is super ginger right now, nowhere near as dark as it looks in that picture. That gives you a good idea of the length, it's sort of hanging around my face in an uneven bob at the moment, and I need to do something with it. Thing is, I don't want too much taken off because I'm trying to grow it out. My fringe usually hangs straight down, and I prefer it like that to being parted.

What do I do with it?

Gemm, I had a similar cut a few years back.  I'm not sure how much work you like to put in, but I would use a flat iron to curl up the bottom of the layers.  It looked cute.  I think you could pull it off.  It could damage your hair if you do it often, so use a heat protection cream first if you try it.

Was just an experiment, there is no way in hell that I'm gonna be straightening my hair on a regular basis. That us unless it turns out to be so fucking awesome that girls go weak at the knees at the very mention of my hair. I don't really see that happening anytime soon though.

I probably will just cut it all off again but i do quite like having a lot of hair. I might just get a pretty decent trim and see what happens. Normally it is pretty curly/wavy.

I like the sort of messy razorcut thing that you have going on at the sides. Perhaps you could get your fringe chipped into a little bit to match? Or have you ever spiked up your fringey front parts really big with wax? That would look hella funky.
I liked you sort of blondey, too. Maybe you could go a dark, dirty blonde and get a big chunk of black and/or pink or something wedged into the longer side?
I dunno man, you are really good at hair and I think that whatever you choose will look awesome.

Thanks, I guess.


I really was not even thinking about a chelsea when I did this. I just like the sides and back short, and I like my bangs, and sideburn... thingys. It's really kinda girly, and totally not tough and "totally punk rock" at all.

The front looks good, but I'm not a fan of the back due to dislike of the chelsea. But that's just me! The front is very flattering, though.

Amper: Since you said in gabbly your natural shade is not so good, what about a strawberry-blonde? An angled fringe and some layers would probably look good cut-wise.

I got a haircut the other day. It's a little shorter than I like it, but that means I get more time before I gotta get it cut again. Not the best lighting in the pic, I might try to get a better one up later.

I like Em's hair. It's not really a Chelsea- more like a grown-out one maybe though. I think it looks nice! The Hollow's hair looks nice too! It is pretty general short boy hair, but you are pretty cute so I don't think anything would look that bad.

Dom had long hair for ages!


Indeed, been there (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/todesfuesch/0002.jpg), done that (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/todesfuesch/567.jpg). I don't have the patience right now to pull it off again.

Then, thanks for all the nice things you said, as well as Katie! <3

As much as I'd like to, I don't know if I can afford to dye my hair right now, so it's probably just a cut at first.

as for the fringe, this:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/todesfuesch/nwhrct2.jpg)
was how it looked like right after i cut my hair the last time.


I could go back to something like this:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/todesfuesch/1-bf138e4e9c028e5d.jpg)
if i cut off all the long hair on the right.

I also had the crazy idea to just shave, or at least buzz off all the left side and keep it long-ish on the right. Yes or No?

ok guys I'm currently sporting more that shoulder length hair, usually tied up in a ponytail (place holder for current photo when I don't look like death warmed up). I like this, and under normal circumstances would leave it as it is, however shortly I shall be moving to live with my eldest brother who also usually wears a ponytail, then it just becomes a bit weird. So basically I need to alter it, and I was thinking something like this:

To give you an idea of its basic texture, though it is far less wavy now that I've got off the lithium.


Based off those two photos, what color should I dye my hair, QC?  I'm planning on doing it shortly after a job change, so it may be around a month away.  Unless I decide to go with a "natural" type color, such as black of a not-too-vibrant red, in which case it could be sooner.

Don't do your whole head one single colour, get it a natural(ish) colour, and if you must have something crazy, just get highlights/little choppy bits of colour.

I cut the right side really short while leaving the left and top basically as it was. You can now really see my natural colour. I might re-cut the back today, still seems a tad long to me.

Note: these pictures were taken without any styling product in my hair and basically only just after i woke up.

I have also decided, that i CAN afford to dye my hair right now. We'll see where that leads.

Guys, come gettin' my paycheck this Friday I'm dying my hair blue. Bright, glorious blue. And not just some of it, but all of it. I already know where I'm going to get it done, since I've never dyed my hair before in my life. My friend's girlfriend is a colorist at a hair salon and she'll do it for free as long as I supply the bleach, dye, etc.

this could either be awesome or horribly, horribly wrong. I'll post pics when I have them, but I've decided on this for the past week, I even asked and my job won't even fire me for it. (apparently pizza/sub shops near colleges are expected of this sort of thing. That and one of the other cashiers/delivery drivers has a mohawk, hella piercings, a neck tattoo and two full sleeves.)

I am not in favor of bleaching eyebrows.  It's unnecessary and putting bleach near your eye seems like a bad idea.  My eyebrows are a lot darker than my natural hair color, so I guess I don't see why it's necessary to make eyebrows match hair. 

I am in favor of Boro's blue hair!  I recommend Blue Mayhem by Special Effects.

Well I ask because while a mohawk and tattoos is certainly unconventional, he is a delivery driver, and those guys are plainclothes anyway. he get paid more because he knows how to make his own transactions through the register rather than bothering other cashiers.

And on top of that you never know what an owner might say. The previous owner for the place I work at probably wouldn't have ever hired that guy, and being as I work at a cashier I'm representing the image of the store, so to speak. Its always good to ask, I work at a sub shop, not a Hot Topic or tattoo parlor.

Oopsie I totally forgot to say, I did cut my hair. I'm sorry guys, not shorter though, I have a bit more of a bang and more layers. It's a bit more retro than my previous hair cut, or rather, it -can- be. When it's up it's pretty cute. Nothing drastic though, a little disappointed.

Robot, I LOVE your hair in the first pic. If you like your current color, I say keep the color and get it cut short again, though your hair is very pretty long.

to be honest with you...BLUE is the HARDEST to do....you'd have to bleach it til it turns WHITE before the blue can be satisfactory.

I never had problems when I dyed my hair blue. Granted, it was a navy blue and I did it over my natural color (medium brown), but it was pretty nice. But I have noticed with everyone who's had blue hair, it fades to green if you don't keep up the color.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Elizzybeth on 25 Feb 2008, 20:48
Yeah, the blue fading to green is pretty gross.  But purple fades to grey, red fades to pink... The only solution I found when I was dying my hair crazy colors was to buy a whole bottle of the dye (there was a hair supply store near me that sold fairly decent dye for about $5 a bottle) and re-do it once every two weeks or so.  But that, of course, basically ensures that you'll have majorly split ends.  Being a hipster comes at a price, I guess?

Post by: thehollow on 25 Feb 2008, 21:35
as my knowledge of hair care only extends as far as using guy's 2 in 1 shampoo and getting it cut about every 6 months, what exactly is the deal with split ends? is it actually that noticeable or harmful for your hair?
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Darkbluerabbit on 25 Feb 2008, 22:04
Basically, the tip of your hair frays, and if you have enough split ends your hair can start to look sort of like a broom.  It's not a huge deal but it does make your hair look kinda sad and unhealthy.

But blue fading to green is handy! You get two reasonable colours. it's better than dying your hair green anyway; green fades to an awful pissy yellow.

when i dyed my hair blue it faded to green pretty quickly (it was already more of a turquoise color).  it lead to a lot of confusion when i would forget that it had changed color and would tell people things like "yeah i dyed my hair blue because i got tired of the purple" and they would reply "but... your hair is green" like i was some kind of idiot.

but hey, it was definitely better than how i looked like a grizzled old person whenever the purple began to fade out.

Post by: Barmymoo on 10 Mar 2008, 14:35
Why does my hair change colour?

This is a serious question. I can't provide pictures because I don't have any, but on some days it looks blonde and sort of golden. On others it seems a kind of reddish gold colour. On other days again it is a mousy brown. I always use the same shampoo and conditioner. It can't be the light because I look at it in the mirror in the bathroom when I get up and I always have the lights on in the mornings (it's kind of grey outside when I get up usually).

So is it to do with hormones or something? Is it the way I look at it? I love it when it's reddish gold but I hate the mouse and I could happily lose the blonde. If anyone knows how I can keep it reddish without dye, I'd love to hear.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Sox on 10 Mar 2008, 17:09
It's not hormonal, unless it's just hormones altering your perception, as your hair is dead. Given the rate it grows, it would take months to notice any hormonal related change in your hair, and it wouldn't extend beyond any new growth. If your hair is changing colour, it has to be an environmental factor. My hair gets lighter with exposure to sunlight, and my conditioner darkens it.
Experiment!

But blue fading to green is handy! You get two reasonable colours. it's better than dying your hair green anyway; green fades to an awful pissy yellow.

Typically, but I did have a friend whose green hair faded to a really cool chartreuse (aha! I finally spelled chartreuse!) color that suited her very well. 

Jimmy, there is a picture of you somewhere on here where you are with a lady.  It would be sorta creepy for me to go searching, so I will ask here: Is her hair Special Effects Fishbowl?  Because I love that color.  I used it recently in what has become a scientific experiment. 

(http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p316/darkbluerabbit/BLUE014-1.jpg)

Apologies for the MySpaceyness.  This is the result of my latest attempt at haircoloring.  I didn't achieve my desired results, but the end effect is sort of interesting.  Mostly because I only used two colors of dye, and somehow came out with at least five different shades.

Thank you.  The whole lot of it was supposed to be the teal that is on top and the dark blue that is on the bottom.  The stuff in between is what surprised me. 

Looks cool cursive fan.

to be fair calling it bedhead is a lie.... thats been washed and straightened and then killed with products

but the best product for bedhead ive used by far is a product called rough paste by redken or as my hairdresser best friend would tell you its for when you want serious JBF hair (just been fucked) and its good cause its not too 'waxy' so you dont get real yucky spikyness

help please?

this is some of my haircut history, and it is occurring to me that my last two cuts are kind of similar dark red jobbies and I'm getting a little bored. my hair is really really fine and I don't have a lot of it, which rules out a lot of haircuts. dye also tends to wash out relatively quickly, but that's less of an issue.

basically I am one of those people who gets a kick out of very drastic hairstyle changes but my creativity is running out a little.

Hmm.
Colour?

I want to be able to waltz into the hairdressers and go DO SOMETHING, ANYTHING! and see where that takes me. It's how I got most of those cuts because there was a really artistically inclined kid who loved snipping away and experimenting at hair for hours. He disappeared, which is why the past two cuts have been on the safe side because I can't find anyone who, when I say that, goes "OMG AWESOME can I do this this this and this I've ALWAYS wanted to try that!"


Also, I am just studying there, poised and ready to run as far away as I can as soon as I can.

Yeah it's called Ephanage or Efanage or something like that. As far as I know you can get it from salons or hairdressing suppliers but it isn't commercially available.

Post by: BrittanyMarie on 12 Apr 2008, 22:39
But blue (the blue I have anyway) also fades to a really pretty color. Mine went straight up cerulean in like two weeks. That is actually my favorite color! It was a teal or turquoise after about a month when I re-did it. Now it's a dark indigo again. So uh, blue is pretty rad if you're a person who enjoys changing your hair often.

A seemingly well educated hair stylist explained to me that red actually fades the fastest of all colors, because of the size of the color, uh, molecule, I guess?  Black is supposed to last the longest; that would place blue somewhere in the middle.

My ladyhalf does hairdressing at tafe and it is an incredibly chemisty heavy course. Aside from needing to know the ph levels of all the hair products so you know how much it is going to help or harm the hair there's a whole lot about the chemical make up of colours so you know how to mix them properly and which colours to use to hide other colours. It's all very and surprisingly complicated and I barely have any idea what she's saying when she is telling me these things.

your highschool is a BITCH leave it. if it's turning into a mullet thing, cut some off the back. go into a supercuts, tell them you want it less mullet-ish and maybe a little bit less unruly, but don't cut it short.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Liz on 14 Apr 2008, 20:05
Yep, just trim the back up a bit so you avoid mullet-dom and keep the rest long-ish. As it has already been pointed out, most girls love guys with curly hair, so keeping the length will help you out in the love department.

Thread resurrection, blah blah. Anyway. I need a bit of help. I managed to fix the cut situation but I need to dye my hair again and I don't quite know what to do with it. I had it red, which was awesome, but I got bored with it so I dyed it brown. The brown didn't work properly so it's still a lot more red than I wanted it.

(http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk92/_beatingheartsbaby/n284800234_410925_2816.jpg)

So I don't know whether I should try dying it black, or a really dark brown. The problem I have with the brown is that it'll fade, and no doubt the red will come back. The problem with the black is that it's black, it's harsh, and I haven't had it black in years. I'm torn.

I want it a similar length (this length is pretty much perfect, although I don't mind it a bit longer). Last time I tried to explain to the hairdresser what I wanted I ended up shaving myself bald because I looked like Spock (I do not want to look like Spock, guys). Halp?

Yeah, i think you should definitely try the whole emo swoop bangs to the side, minus the emo.
Because the whole fringe straight down looks a little passé and not really in any more :/

i don't want length taken off, and i just re-dyed it like two weeks ago.

Your hair looks very cute to me, and it is shiny and healthy.

You could add some layers if you want it to flip out or down.  If you want it to flip out, the top layer should be the longest.  If you want it to flip under, the top layer will be the shortest.  To blend the layers make diagonal cuts.  That way you don't have to change much length, but you still get that kicky feeling of "hey! I did something new with my hair!"
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)

I know you want to keep the length, but I really think you could pull off shorter hair! The current length isn't doing much for your face shape, short would be so happy for nicer weather coming up!
I'm voting either pixie cut with longish bangs, or slightly longer like this (http://www.haircentric.com/gallery/d/738-2/short%20bob%20haircut.jpg)

So, guys, I'm going to get my hair cut and possibly dyed soon.  This is probably the most accurate picture of what my hair does--I can get it smoother with products and straighteners; mousse and scrunch / dry will give me pretty decent curls.  But this is it basically left to its own devices, which I figure is probably better for "will this work?" questions (forgive the ridiculous shades, which were the intended focus of the picture).

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v321/NvrTooMuchPython/lizredglasses.jpg)

I'm thinking I want a shorter cut, with the shortest (outer) layers about at mid-ear level and the longest (inner) layers ending just below my chin.  I'm also considering dyeing it a dark brown.  Something like this, I guess:

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v321/NvrTooMuchPython/web_photo18.jpg)

Is this a good / bad idea?  Do you guys have better ideas?  I'd generally be up for wild and crazy suggestions, but I'm leaning toward the could-pass-for-a-more-conservative-look side of things, 'cause I'm interviewing at grad schools over the next month.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)

I think that cut would work well with your hair's natural texture, but I think it'd look better side-parted slightly with maybe swoopy fringe.

I think that cut would work well with your hair's natural texture, but I think it'd look better side-parted slightly with maybe swoopy fringe.
iawtc, middle parts look good on almost no one.  They also make your nose look big when it's a straight middle part.  now zig-zag middle is different.
but I'd say if you do that but part it zig-zag part to the left or right it would give you a lot of texture and it would be fun to make your own. and it would probably compliment your face shape well that way.

I might stop at three or four inches, but I'm open to my hair getting as long as just below my ears. Any advice on how to properly cultivate my hair to that point whilst retaining some level of attractiveness? I have a reputation to uphold.

Post by: Alex C on 22 Apr 2008, 09:17
Try to find someone IRL with the kinda hairstyle you're going for and try to find out where they get their hair done, since there actually is a fair bit a decent stylist can do for you to minimize the awkward phase, especially if you're aiming at a particular style throughout the whole process. Think in terms of long but lean; most decent long hairstyles actually have had a fair amount of cutting done, they just get rid of a lot of the "weight" via cutting in layers rather than just hacking off all the hair to a fairly uniform length. It's tricky to think so far ahead in terms of hair, but if you can get a good stylist who understands where you want to be 6 months from now it's really quite painless, since you can often hit a number of "intermediary" styles that'll let you segue into whatever your final goal is. I actually plan on going in soon and basically saying "You know my hair from 3 months ago? That was awesome, let's do that again."

I don't really think the haircut is that terrible. Since it's long on top, you can style it differently to not look like a nazi! Swoosh it back, make a pompadour, or a fauxhawk. If the sides are as short as they look, it almost looks like a conservative version of the haircut negative creep has.

is there some sort of deep-conditioning treatment that you can recommend that is strong enough to deal with colour damage?
my hair is getting a bit dry/frizzy and desperately needs one.

I wish I could help but I am really bad at that sort of thing, for some reason my hair just sort of sucks it up and deals with it. I do use a conditioning product called Keratase on my wet hair before I blow-dry and straighten it to death every day, but it was really expensive and I only got it because a hairdresser foisted it on me and I was too embarrassed to say I didn't want it.

I'd just ask any stylist.  It's the bleaching that does the real damage, not the dye, and hairstylists will definitely be familiar with bleach damage. 

I just leave regular conditioner in my hair for a minute or two, and it seems to do the trick, but I've only bleached once.

What kind of dye have you been using? 
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Evander on 25 Apr 2008, 14:02
This is mostly an academic question, but here it goes.

I have hair of the darkest brown (easily mistaken for black, but not technically black.)  One time my then-girlfriend wanted to dye my hair blue so, of course, she bleached it first, and then applied blue dye.  The thing was that, over time, it just turned green.

Were I to ever want to dye my hair blue again, and I'm not sure I'll ever be in a situation where I CAN but I'm still curious, what would I want to do differently, or is the green fade inevitable?  Was the issue withthe quality of the dye?  If I don't bleach first will the blue show up at all?  I kind of like the idea of keeping my dark hair, and just adding a blue tint to it, but I know nothing about thisstuff, and don't know if the hair needs to be bleached for the dye to be absorbed at all, or what.


For your trouble, I'll find a picture of myself with blue and/or green hair later, and post it for your amusement.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Aminal on 25 Apr 2008, 14:44
If you don't want it to fade to green, you need to bleach it light enough that all the yellow tones are gone.  This will mean using a higher volume # of peroxide, probably 40volume in your case.  I have to say up front though that it'll still look a bit sickly when it fades, cuz under the best circumstances it fades to grey.

There are permanent hair dyes you can use that will give a midnight blue tint.  It's really most visible under sunlight.

Semi-permanent w/o bleaching first will always be very subtle, even using salon-quality dye.  If you did decide to go this way, make sure to keep your hair shiny and well-conditioned.  That'll help the tint show better in the light.

My mom had an epilator that I guess was good, but it scared the crap out of me, so I don't know what the name was or anything. Also, it hurt like heeeell and although you were supposed to get used to it, I didn't - probably because I never used it long enough because of the goddamn pain. Waxing hurts way less, for some reason, even though they both rip the hairs out.

You dust it on first, it helps the sugar goo just stick to the hairs instead of your leg.
Kathy, there really is no reason to buy it as far as I can tell, unless you are getting it professionally done. The ingredients are very inexpensive, and if you know how to use/have a candy thermometer, it's no issue at all to make. This is the recipe I used! http://www.care2.com/greenliving/ancient-egyptian-body-sugaring.html

probably a really good investment in the long run if you can get past the horrible pain part. i actually own an epilator for some reason but the pain was basically unbearable so i just wax now. the fact that waxing hurts far, far less than using an epilator says something!

I use Moom.  I love it.  I recommend it to anyone who will listen.  The pain factor is minimal (do yourself a favor and never use it after getting a sunburn...) and it lasts a few weeks.  Also, the strips are reusable and Moom is all natural, so there is the added bonus of being a decent choice for the environmentally conscious, although not nearly as much so as homemade would be, I imagine.

I really like sunsilk, and I have access to all the awesome salon product for FREE (well to me, my mom is a hairdresser).

If you're looking for something nice to put in your hair everyday their TLC product worked well on my hair when it was pissed off.

Otherwise, product names I recommend for colour treated hair are probably tec and l'oreal, but l'oreal proffessional is the way to go, you can get it from your salon, it's a bit pricey but good for dry hair. Their colour repair systems are really awesome.

Also, if your hair is really dry, I don't know if this'll help you but it really helped me, try washing your hair every SECOND day, I found that natural oils of my hair really helped. Avoid styling/heat if you don't have to do it etc.

but honestly, I don't know the dry hair damage, so I'd advise talking to a hairdresser and she'll probably recommend a treatment that'll make your hair happy :3

Washing your hair every other day is a good idea regardless of whether your hair is dry or not, because drying it (even leaving it to dry naturally) causes split ends. This is the advice my hairdresser gave me when I went to her saying "why is my hair so crappy?". I never, ever blow dry my hair (I'd love to say it's because I know it's bad for it but it's actually because I'm lazy) and apparently leaving it to dry in the wind causes the ends to break off.

So wash your hair as little as possible without having bad hygeine and towel it as nearly dry as possible before drying it or leaving it. I have some ace hair stuff but I can't remember what it's called and it's a salon-only product you have to buy from your hairdresser directly.

I can tell by the phrase 'dry in the wind' that you must have straight hair. If it is going to be windspeeds over about 8mph, I will wake up an hour+ early so my hair dries before I even think about going out in the wind. Curly hair is an ornery bitch.

My hair is just kinda wavy but if I let it dry naturally it goes into a curly mass of horribleness. I wash and blow-dry and straighten every day, colour every two weeks or so, and my hair looks and feels fine for it.

I used to let my hair air dry. I'd shower at night and let it dry while I slept. I do not miss waking up with crazy dents in my hair. Also, my hair gets hella flat if I don't blow dry it.

Anyone know the name of a good (cheap too) styling wax?

When I had short hair, I used L'Oreal and Bed Head wax. The latter was better, but the former works and is pretty cost effective. I think the L'Oreal was around $5 for a jar and Bed Head was $10+, but they do last a while as long as you don't over style. And if you're not the wash your hair everyday type, your hair should hold onto it the next day, too.

I need to take a picture tomorrow, because I need hair advice. I need a haircut, but I need suggestions...

Post by: Barmymoo on 16 May 2008, 10:02
My hair is fairly straight, but I find that if I let it dry naturally it goes wavy. I'd love to have properly curly hair, or properly straight hair, it's annoying having wavy hair. Although having said that I like it now more than I've liked it at any point in my life thus far. I think it's the amount of conditioning it gets.

Question, more of an abstract than a specific: do you think having long hair makes you look younger? I don't mean when you're nineteen and it makes you look fifteen, I mean when you're twenties, thirties, forties and it makes you look younger. I can't decide if I think this because most of the adult women I know have short hair, or because it's actually true. Also I'm wondering whether I'll get my hair cut short before I go to university, but that's a long way off yet.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)

I think it depends on your face and the cut you get. Some girls I know look fantastic with their long hair and others look older with short hair. I've had varying degrees of length (longest it's been is how long it is right now and it's a few inches past my shoulders) and personally, I think I do look a bit older with short hair, but it might not be the same for everyone?

Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Barmymoo on 19 May 2008, 10:21
The trouble with blue is that you usually have to bleach it first, and then the blue very quickly fades and leaves you with a kind of murky green. Same with pink (except it goes orange). If you were prepared to re-dye regularly that could look good! Personally I like your hair colour how it is, but if you want to dye it then please for god's sake do not dye it black with a pink or blue streak, or I will get you mixed up with at least three of my friends.

No offence to anyone with black hair with a coloured streak, it can look very nice but also very samey when you spend your whole day with it.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: BrittanyMarie on 19 May 2008, 13:06
Don't color the whole thing blue! I do like when bits peek out because you still have the color, but a whole head of a bright color makes your face look... not bright... in comparison. Dull, washed out, etc. And you're really cute and I would be a little sad if you got less cute.

I have a little diagonal stripe of blue in the back of my head, and it's very visible but it doesn't frame my face at all. Since we have about the same color hair naturally, yours will probably act like mine will in that you won't see it if you don't bleach first. I color mine about once a month, but I like the color it fades to in that time on me (a pretty light teal color) so you would maybe want to do yours more often.

I'm sorry for bringing this back but I wanted to ask if anyone knew of a good, reasonably priced blue hair dye that I could get my hands on fairly quickly. I've been looking around and there's a few I've heard good things about but I wanted to check here before I actually paid for anything, I know there's a few people here who do quite extravagant things with their hair. I only ask 'cause the blue dye that I used on mine (a brand that I've used before with no problem whatsoever) got screwed up within about three days, which has really pissed me off, so now I want one that is good, has been used, and will pop quite bright from underneath the black without disappearing so fast. I don't mind whether it's temporary or permanent, so long as they last maybe a month or two before they need re-doing.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Jimmy the Squid on 23 Jun 2008, 01:16
I don't really know anything that will last longer than about 2 weeks before it starts to fade (i generally leave mine about a month or so before re-purpling/blueing it). Affinage is the brand that my girlfriend uses for her blue and redoes it every month or so as well but her hair has been bleached to a white blonde underneath it which is really the only way to get a vibrant colour out of it for anything longer than a few days. Otherwise take yourself to a hair dresser and ask them to bleach your hair white and put a blue tint over it. You'll need to tone the shit out of as well to avoid frying your hair.

it was a motherfucker to bleach and i'm really disappointed because the green is fading already. i'm too lazy to touch it up but is there any way to prevent it from fading more? i'm using shampoo for color-treated hair but i don't know if that actually does anything.

and if i dye my hair again some other time, what color should i use? and does anybody have dye brand recommendations because i used some shit i picked up at the mall. it's called 'special effects' and it's supposed to be good but it's fading already.

In my experience with colorful hairdyes, they all fade rather fast. If you want a low maintenance hair coloring, you shouldn't go with bright colors. Just saying. (I used to dye my hair all the time. The blue I had never lasted as long as the reds, but that's because the red dye was normal dye.)

Also, I need/want a haircut, but I need to take/scan pictures of what I have/want. So maybe tomorrow.

I actually vote nay... if you cover up her face to ignore the fact that she's gorgeous, it's kind of a scruffy unkempt cut... I think bangs that short would lead to horrible bed-head and lots of cowlick/bad hair days:(

Last time I had short hair, my cowlicks were more well behaved than they are now. But I see your point, red. There's another cut in a magazine that I was leaning more towards, but I like the both of them. It's a bit longer on top and the fringe is closer to the eyebrows.

I woke up this morning and decided, so I am getting it cut this afternoon. I'll post pictures when I get home!

linds, i'm not a huge fan of the cut in that picture. i've had a similar one in the past, and it was really high maintenance and not worth it.
 i'm glad the internet has swayed you towards the other choice

Post by: calenlass on 29 Jun 2008, 12:46
Yeah, I guess I am not going to cut my hair again any time soon. However, how often are you supposed to get it trimmed or whatever? Before the cut back in May I probably hadn't gotten mine trimmed in like 3 years.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Lines on 29 Jun 2008, 12:53
Every few months? Unless you don't get split ends. But I've never had hair as long as yours, so I have no idea.

The hairs have been cut off. Picture when I wash all the gunk my hairdresser seems to enjoy out of my hair.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Drill King on 29 Jun 2008, 13:01
You should get a trim every 4-6 weeks depending on if you're trying to get it longer or maintain the length.

Your hair will like you for it.

Post by: calenlass on 29 Jun 2008, 13:46
No I get some serious split ends. Actually, when the ends start getting fuzzy and straw-like, the individual hairs somehow tie themselves in actual knots, no joke.

No brushes touch my hair ever. And if I didn't start at the ends and work my way up I'd get the comb three inches along and get it stuck.

Comb it wet, right after you get out of the shower (or when you're still in it, like I do). If I don't comb it out I get mats underneath and in the back (from restless sleeping) within three days.

Symptom- I think it would maybe look better without the mustache, if it's not too much of a pain in the ass to keep from getting scratchy. Or let the stache get long enough to join the beard:)

That's what I did for years, but it still gets fluffy when I comb it wet. My hair, though curly as hell, is actually quite thin, so with the shorter length that I have it combing separates all the curls and makes them poofy. I haven't had to deal with matting yet, so I think I'm alright. I just comb it once a month or so to fix the part and get rid of the hairs I've lost that are caught in it.

Shadic: I also think you should definitely change it's shape, something shorter that you can keep from forming that round shape.. I know I'm being pretty vague but I've always been too lazy to maintain a haircut so I only ever had to worry about length... the rest I left to god.

Okay, I've had my hair split in the middle ever since, well, I had enough hair to do so, so probably 20 years. Should I continue?
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v26/mariasha/Bilde30.jpg) or (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v26/mariasha/Bilde41.jpg)?
Bear in mind that in the side-part-photo, the rest of my hair is kinda silly and weird because I forgot to take off the towel for like 2 hours after a shower, and I'm not as sad as I look. Plus, the haircut I have now wasn't meant for a side part, but it's time for a haircut anyways.

My brother saw me and couldn't stop laughing, so that wasn't a very good sign, but he might just be trying to annoy me.

Post by: calenlass on 06 Jul 2008, 11:25
Man I think the center part is fine. I part mine in the center because that is the way it naturally falls and because that way there is an even amount of hair on each side to try and keep out of my face. Side part means there is too much hair hanging in my face on one side, and plus I usually end up getting acne from leaving it across my forehead for a day or two at a time.

I think you probably would look good with a fringe, though, Ladybug.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Ladybug on 06 Jul 2008, 14:25
That has basically been my reasoning for parting it in the center, but I realized tonight that parting it on the side works pretty good, because it leaves very little hair to fall in my face on one side, and on the other side I can put some hair behind my ear, and it will still sort of "hang", but not in the way. Awesomeness, even though it may not be the best look. The acne-thing does sound like a problem I might encounter, though, but I think I'll try it out for a few days and maybe get a haircut that'll work better with it, if I like it.

I don't know about a fringe, because my facial profile is odd and I don't think it would work well with a fringe. Might be wrong, but not sure if I'm willing to test it..

Thanks for the advice!

Long fringe that is easy to sweep off to the side is the kind I meant, like the 6 or 7 inch long kind; not the straight inch-long fringe that your mom thought was cute on you when you were 6.

Linds, you look great with short hair. This is true of almost all women. Take heed!

I don't entirely agree, but I don't exactly disagree either. Mostly I would suggest that such an emphatic statement is too limited. While I would agree that down to the waist is too long, hair just past the shoulders often looks great. Similarly, really short hair can look great too. There are too many variables to conclude that length alone determines whether or not a given hairstyle looks good.

Post by: evernew on 07 Jul 2008, 12:18
Uhhh ... I haven't asked anyone for hair advice ever so I don't know how to do this.

1. Once my hair gets longer than 3 or 4 inches, it curls. A lot. Outwards. Not in a good way either.
So far, I've figured out that drying it well after showering (toweling it off like crazy or going to town with a hair dryer) works but a few hours later I find myself in the same old hairy mess.
In the picture below you can see what I'm talking about.

(http://i31.tinypic.com/qxkr9c.jpg)

(Nevermind the retarded look, I do that sometimes when concentrating on something.)

2. My otherwise okay set of genes has decreed that I shall have a receding hairline pretty early in my life. Because I'm vain or don't want to look _that_ old, I comb my hair so it covers the temples. This has been working better the longer my hair has become.

3. I've never colored or dyed my hair and have no idea how I would start.

4. I like my hair semi-long (it just about covers my eyes when I comb it down but thanks to the hairline drama it does so in a slightly triangular fashion :().
When it's really short, I don't have any of the aforementioned problems. But then again there's a lot less things I can do with really short hair and I look like a cheap, short-sighted Jack Johnson knockoff.

Like this (sort of short):
(http://i32.tinypic.com/35b8gmg.jpg)


What I'm asking overall is - what should I do with the dead keratin I'm collecting on my head?

And more detailedly - if I'm only dipping my foot into the hair coloring / dying game, what could I start with?
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Lines on 07 Jul 2008, 12:27
I don't mind your short hair, actually.

As for dying, what are you thinking? Do you want to keep it natural or experiment with bright colors? Do you want more than one color? Do you want to color your whole head or only go for a chunk/some highlights? There's a lot you can do! Dying in itself is pretty easy, but a tip for your first time: put vaseline around your hairline to keep the dye from staining skin that isn't covered by your hair. I've never had this problem, but I know people who have, especially on their first go.

I think it looks really good in the second photo (suits your facial structure/type of hair, plus the scruffy beard is great), but as proven earlier in the thread, I have no clue when it comes to hair, so you probably shouldn't listen to me.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Liz on 07 Jul 2008, 12:34
I agree with Ladybug and Linds, it looks nice short. Also, though slightly unrelated, I prefer the beard scruff to the goatee, but that is usually the case in my opinion.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: evernew on 07 Jul 2008, 12:37
To Linds - I've thought about making it a little brighter quite often. Sort of what happens to your hair when you surf / swim in the ocean a lot. Sun-bleached, I guess.
So - one color / nuance, whole head, no bright colors.

Good thing about it is if I botch it and it looks awwwwwwful, I can just cut it all off and go back to my sexy short hair (thanks Ladybug  :roll:).

I prefer the scruff, too. The goatee picture is more than a year old and I've been rocking the scruff ever since.

jimmy, are your dreads real or temporary?  if they are temp, were they difficult to have done & are they high maintenance?  i've been playing around with the idea of getting dreadlocks because they look neat, but i don't really want the commitment real dreads take.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Jimmy the Squid on 07 Jul 2008, 18:00
They are synth dreads, Mai. They took about 4 hours to put in (just braided around my actual hair) and they are heaps low maintenance. You can keep them in for a month or two before you need to take them out depending on how fast your hair grows (when my girlfriend had them she had them in for about three months). You need to wash them about once every week and a half to two weeks (I'll be washing mine more because I hang out with a lot of smokers) and you can remove them without having to shave your head. There are heaps of people in america that make them, just shop around on the net and don't be afraid of paying a couple of hundred for them. Most hairdressers will also charge about $100 an hour to install them.

Sounds good. If you're out in the sun a lot you can get stuff called Sun-In (http://www.sun-in.com/original.asp). I've used this and it does give a summer-like bleached quality to your hair without actually bleaching it, so it also doesn't damage your hair as much as dye. If you're not in the sun too much, you can just get a hair dye that is the shade you want.

Hope that helps!

Hah, this feels like a bigger decision than it should be.

This may or may not be too late but if you want side fringe to feel less awkward, try parting it at an angle towards the middle of your head instead of straight on the side, that way the fringe will lay better and you'll still have enough hair on the opposite side to frame your face and keep you proportionate. Also, if you get your stylist to cut your fringe at an angle (assuming she can do it properly) it will fall naturally across your forehead. :)

No mullet there my friend, mullet's are cut short on the top and are long in the back, hence the phrase "business up front, party in the back". Though your hair is lookin' a little flat there, its not bad in my opinion at all.

Thanks for the compliments! I'll probably look into a shorter, spikier cut since it sounds a lot less fiddly than trying to corral my hair into the right part all of the time, since my hair is a bit fine and blows around pretty easy.

Basically, every other year I just have to change my hairstyle. I've done the dyed thing, I've done the highlights, I've done the spikey and the mophead. I'm not brave enough to touch the mullet, but right now I'm at the bedhead stage of life.

Any advice for where to go next, folks? Should I stick with this current style a little bit longer? And sorry about the webcam/lack of smile. It's 10:30AM and I've just woken up, so I obviously can't be bothered to look for my camera or be cheery.

Edit: And yeah, it's the same hairstyle in all three pictures. I didn't touch it or anything. The power of different angles.

I like the bed-heady thing you have goin' on...I think you could even go a little shorter on the sides, and maybe a little off the top. The intentionally-messy look works. Wicked.

I am on the right! This is my current hair. I prefer it to be about this length, but the colour is something of an issue with me right now. I've dyed my hair a lot. Pretty much every colour you can think of - except this is the lightest it's ever been (aside from the blue stage) and I really don't think I like it when it's light! A lot of people say it's nice, but I don't know...

@Thomas Edison

try it shorter on the sides.

@allison

I like the colour of your hair now, I would keep it that way. But I'm pretty conservative when it comes to dying your hair, usually I think it looks better natural.

I'm glad this thread is back. I did something radical (to me, and not rad, but big change) to my hair. I will come back with pictures.

So with a lot of drama in my life, I kinda wanna change up my hair a bit, it's often therapeutic. Today a friend mentioned that he thought my hair was getting a bit long, now I hadn't been thinking about cutting it, but what do you guys think? (also, I'm planning some green or blue in  with the blonde bits there, my hair will look like a tree y/n?)

Sorry I look like such shit, but I figure I should at least be honest with the Hair Thredd.  I just woke up, haven't touched it yet, etc.  I figure, why should I hide what I am? [/twoface]

Any bright ideas?  I've had purple and red before, and black streaks, but now it's just kind of... ugh.  This WAS a red dye and a bob with bangs, but now it's fading back to my old color, which is disgusting dishwater blonde, as you can tell.

Hair Thread,

I need a decision made, I've asked other people but they're either "i don't care" or "i don't know", so it's time to ask the masses.
I really need a haircut, this much I know, but I'm stuck between getting a drastic new cut and having a million layers put in, and a kickass fringe (aka, the "Hayley Williams"), or just having a trim and a fringe cut and keeping it dull until it grows longer. I cut it super short in November 06 and have been growing it ever since, it's finally sitting nicely on my shoulders and I dunno if I should just persevere until it's a bit longer and then get a nice cut, or get a nice cut now and then grow it out more.

Basically;

Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: est on 20 Nov 2008, 16:21
Dude my advice is to go get your hair cut before your mom takes you to get it cut.  The you can choose the length and such and also show your mom you're capable of getting shit done by yourself in future.

Taylorrrrrr, if you don't like your hair colour then I vote for going back to a dark purple/dark red or even a dark brown.  I liked the red on you, but think it would look better a bit darker.  I am not sure light blonde would work and black is a bit too harsh.

This is me with dark hair (at this point it was purpley-black/eggplant/you get the picture) and I love it. Tell me, hair thread, what do I do?

I say go back to the dark colours. It really suits your skin colour. I used to be blonde and have gone through red, purple, dark dark dark brown and am sitting at a natural chocolate brown now. I had trouble making my blonde hair look clean and shiny all the time, despite washing it every two or three days. I do the same with my dark hair - looks wonderfully shiny all the time. Also suits pale skin. I would suggest not going too dark though, makes regrowth more obvious and bleh.

Go dark!

Gemmwah, I really like your hair in picture three.

Yes. Even though it's a fairly regulation haircut you'd probably look pretty good with the short-on-the-sides-slightly-longer-on-the-top-muss-it-up-with-some-product look.

Quoting the image to grab attention. Taylor, given your skin and your eyebrows, I'm not sure you should go for dark. Maybe it's just the bedhead in the image, but your hair looks pretty fine too, is that accurate? Think lighter colours. Somewhere between blonde and brunette or something.

Well hey there Daz.  Yeah, my hair is fine as all hell, and golly is there a lot of it.  That's a valid point on the eyebrows thing, but thing is, there exists such a thing as eyebrow pencil, and you can even dye your eyebrows if you are thus inclined .

Young for what? Worrying about how I look?

Jimmy: I just might do that. The only thing is, pretty much if I argue with her, she takes away the computer and Playstation and that rather sucks. Last night, I complained how shitty my haircut looked and then she was all like, "I'll fix it!" which I took to mean, 'I'll shave it all off.' So I'm like, "No!" and she's like, "Don't you say no to me, young man!" etc etc.
Then she explained how as long as I lived in her house I would go by her rules. I already knew that and I do. Perhaps I should start complaining about more things, then hair won't be a big issue. Bleh.
Oh, oh. Then my dad said something like, 'You just want to be like all of those skater druggies don't you?'
'Yes, Dad. Because they are sooo cool.'
Then he starts telling me that I shouldn't try to fit in at all. I should make a target out of myself by being different.
[/rant]

Anyway, what should I do with what I have now? It doesn't look as bad as that picture makes it out to be but it still looks like crap. Also, anyone know how to make hair grow faster? xD

Midnight Umbreon, letting people cut your hair that don't usually cut hair takes a lot of courage.

If you really don't like it, you could basically buzz cut it (2 all around, so you're not actually bald, but it's not really there anymore). I did that once thinking 'how much worse can it get?' and I actually quite liked the result. It's also prety refreshing.

DISCLAIMER: not recommended if you live in cold environments.

If your parents still decide your haircuts at 14, you might as well let them wipe your ass and spoon feed you. Talk to your parents in a calm and rational manner to ensure this never happens again. Also, what're they gonna do if you refuse to get a haircut? Force you to live on the streets? Going a while with no computer or videogames ain't a thing.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)

This is important.

It's also a lot to ask. It's easy to be rational with your 'rents until they say no for the first time. Then rational quickly becomes whining and getting angry. Remain calm and state your case or you'll get nowhere.

So I have an issue. Any time my hair reaches a certain length, I chop it all off. Well, my hair is nearing that point again, and I would like some creative insight before I give up and just chop my hair down to an inch in length (yes, I have done this before).
I have also dyed my hair before, and am looking to again. So far I have done dark red, darker red with ash blonde highlights, and just plain brunette with really chunky blonde highlights.

For reference, here are two semi-recent pictures of myself. Note that I rarely wear glasses any more, as I now have contacts. And you are not able to tell from the photos, but I have really pale blue-grey eyes, if that helps with dying recommendations.

So, what you're saying is that it's okay to have a mullet, but if I have a mullet for the irony of having a mullet (and not being white trash in the least bit), then it is not okay?

Because I have two options right now, one makes it into more of a mullet, and one makes it into less of a mullet. I'm letting the internet decide.

So that's about the gist of my hair. I am wondering if I should go back to the very short (I'm talking marine-esque) haircut that I had before growing it. Or should I get the back trimmed (as has been the advice to me) and just let it grow more? Or do something completely different?

You should probably dry it and then take another picture. You mentioned in meebo that you prefer how your hair looks wet and that's obviously only going to be how it looks for about an hour any given day. Any style advice should be given in reference to what it looks like dry, since that'll be the default mode for it.

Unless you carry a spray bottle and give it a few squirts every half-hour or so. That's what I'd recommend, I guess. OR USE SOME PRODUCT TO MAKE IT LOOK WET.

I do like how it looks wet, by the way. I think it's fun-looking hair.

I wish mine only looked wet for an hour or so after I showered. It takes mine at least three to four to look dry, and I like the way it looks dry much better (I've got really wavy hair, when it gets wet every hair does it's wave independently). I really need to get a blow-dryer.

I do second the hair product suggestion, it does look good wet.

So I have an issue. Any time my hair reaches a certain length, I chop it all off. Well, my hair is nearing that point again, and I would like some creative insight before I give up and just chop my hair down to an inch in length (yes, I have done this before).

This doesn't help you any, but your post is reminding me of what happened to one girl in highschool. When the hairdresser asked how she wanted her hair cut, she said she wanted an inch. She meant to cut it by an inch, but they cut it down to an inch. lol

Not sure if someone already mentioned anything about straightening hair, but:

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v57/amitojbatra/032008_0542c-1.jpg)

Unstraightened.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v57/amitojbatra/101808_1424b-3.jpg)

Straightened.

Dilemna: I seem to have damaged my hair BADLY with the iron in some areas. Split ends in a few parts and just burned hair in others.

How can I restore it back to healthier condition? And, if I can't restore it back to softer stuff that isn't brittle or dry, how can I manage it? (ASIDE from getting it cut)

I've tried Smooth N Shine's 60-second Critical Repair, and aside from making my hair smell funky (and maybe improving the parts that weren't already damaged to shit), those dead ends didn't change. I tried Aussie's 3-minute miracle, and, it... helped a LITTLE.  Herbal Essence's moisturizing shampoo and conditioner actually made it DRYER, and thus, die quicker against the iron. Smooth N shine's polishing repair helped a little bit.

Anybody have any other suggestions?

i don't know if there's a lot you can do for your hair except grow it out and cut off those dead ends. investing in a good straightener would probably be a much better choice, as your hair really shouldn't be experiencing that much damage when you straighten it and it probably says a lot about the quality of the straightener you are using now. the one i use now was pricey but i've never had any hair problems as a result of using it. if anything people comment a lot on how soft and nice my hair is. it's also an excellent investment; mine's lasted over five years now and is still going strong.

I'm using a Conair one, actually - ceramic, and it cost 15 dollars.

I guess that explains it. I've heard that the more expensive ones are what you're supposed to use, actually - they have smoother, better ceramic and they also use some negative-ion technology.

Are you putting heat protecting stuff on your hair before you straighten in? That could help for future straightenings.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Coffee_Kaioken on 30 Dec 2008, 23:23
Yes, I'm using a V02 heat defense spray.

I plan to start using the bottle of Aussie's anti-humidity spray after that one finishes - it's like a really liquidy, fine gel, a holding-spray. One thing I tried was, after the spray stiffened, I straightened. It's like you're sculpting hair rather than straightening, almost - I straightened one fold and it was like hair that was completely flattened after the gel dried. It was amazing.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: tania on 30 Dec 2008, 23:24
yeah i paid about $150 CAD for mine. seems sort of silly expensive but again, this was about five years ago and it works just as good as the day i bought it, plus it doesn't damage my hair very much at all and does a pretty wicked job in general. if you plan on straightening your hair often (and it does suit you), it's an investment worth considering.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Fenriswolf on 30 Dec 2008, 23:25
Yeah ditto on a flash straightener - I hassled my hairdresser about the difference there, apparently it's that it's all ceramic not ceramic plates over whatever metal they use, plus it's one plate rather than multiple like cheap ones so it's heated evenly. Basically heats much hotter, faster, and more evenly so you shouldn't have to piss about with your hair as long.

Possibly spend some ridiculous amount of money on a "masque" from Kerastase or something, and hell if you buy a GHD you get their flash heat defence crap with it. I have some (my hair has been dyed to fuck) and it's stupidly expensive but lasts forever because you don't use very much and it definitely helps.

All that said I don't do shit to my hair, am trying to talk myself into straightening it as it looks much nicer but I'm soo lazy when it comes to grooming. Your hair looks awesome straightened though!  :-D

Post by: Fenriswolf on 30 Dec 2008, 23:38
Oh! And since I'm here and there are some people here with purple hair and stuff... I have always wanted fire-engine red hair. Since I was like 12, I wanted it. But because I'm lazy and cheap and the few times I ventured to a hair dresser they sort of ignored me and did it boring reds (lol, I had no idea how to ask for it) it has not been a happening thing!

Basically about 6 months ago I did this:

(http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1378/5616492/13994049/349251424.jpg)

And you can sort of see it there - it was the first night, the glowing pinkish-red bit at the top is lovely previously undyed hair and the darker red is hair that had to be stripped. Well within days the darker bit had gone brownish red.

This is my hair now:

(http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1378/5616492/13994049/349251413.jpg)

Like, right now. Yeah I look weird but you can see the lines of dye in my hair. I cut a bunch off because it was so screwed from bleaching. Basically the bottom's all washed out from being bleached and dyed over a bunch, the middle is dyed and unbleached, the top is untouched hair (oh god it's hard to leave it alone!)

Is it actually possible to get all of my hair a uniform red?! Failing lovely ridiculously unnatural reds, even just an intense permanent colour that's as unnatural as I can get it without having to use Fudge all over and reapply to my (extremely thick) hair every 2 weeks?

Please help, suggestions would be muuuch appreciated!
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: tania on 30 Dec 2008, 23:55
you may have to bleach your hair multiple times to get it light enough to dye bright red, as it won't be light enough the first time. the only way i could get my hair colour to last when i used to have dyed hair (very similar (http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/7821/19cy8.jpg) to your first picture actually, although that one is not very accurate cos i hadn't bleached or dyed it for a few weeks) was by leaving the dye in extra long and washing my hair as little as possible. the downside, though, is that you end up with sorta dirty hair all the time.

Guys I am bored. My hair is finally back to a normal, masculine length and color. No more blonde tips, no more atrocious long hair that did nothing for my face. Except now I am bored and I feel like I look too conventional. I keep trying to achieve a stylish "bedhead" look but it does not go well. I've used Biosilk a few times (I can't stand any heavy, goopy hair products and Biosilk is the only thing that is light enough not to make me feel like someone shat on my head) but I have no clue how to style it so I end up making a mess and washing it all out. I generally wash it, don't condition it, towel it until it's half-wet to moist, and let the rest air dry (as opposed to when I had long hair- I washed it, conditioned it, and meticulously blow-dried it only to have it be frizzy and shit anyway). During the air-drying process I shake it out a couple of times and it settles like in this picture.

I basically have not been happy with my hair ever since I was old enough to care about what it looked like. Suggest anything at all, radical or not. I'm of half a mind to turn it into a mohawk (floppy, not spiked up, such as this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37SOakZDpAo)). Though I am a pussy and in the end looking for something fashionable and handsome but not too conservative.

Tania: Ah, the awesome faded-pink hair! I have considered dying the crap out of it at home and having a professional finish it off (I can torture it myself for very little without paying for the hairdresser's time) but I'm just worried I'll still end up with lines of colour, just less obvious. Thoughts?

I am probably going to go talk to a different hairdresser that actually specialises in "alternative" hair rather than my slightly-horrified-by-my-taste hairdresser at some point, but I trust real people more. Possibly mistake when talking on the internet.

Post by: jodizzle on 31 Dec 2008, 00:49
My natural hair colour is a very very dark brown.  I used to have a head of entirely pink hair (remember that guys?) and I would bleach it once a month and re-dye it every two weeks.  I think if you want very bright hair colour you kind of have to stick with the upkeep or it isn't going to stay bright.  I don't know why someone doesn't invent permanent bright awesome colours, they would make a fortune.
(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y247/ebony_willow/100_0907.jpg)
But to achieve this shiny pink (even with very dark hair to begin with) I only bleached it once and left the dye in for the normal amount of time. But then again, my hair is very awesome and even after over a year of bleaching it every month and dying it constantly and straightening it when I had a fringe it is still soft and lovely and not broken.



Oh god guys, look at my hair.  Why didn't any of you tell me how silly I looked?  That was only a YEAR ago!

Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: jodizzle on 31 Dec 2008, 07:23
Nope Rachel, I just use normal colour stay conditioner (sunsilk currently, but it changes).  After I bleach it and shampoo out the bleach I do usually give it an extra good condition and leave it soak in a bit while I shower because I worry my hair will get sad.  I think my hair is just incredibly patient with me and my whims.

the way i condition my hair is, after shampooing, towel drying it as much as i can then putting in a generous amount of conditioner and letting it sit for about 10-15 minutes. after that i rinse it out in cold water, which makes your hair incredibly shiny. when my hair was longer and dyed, i did this every time i washed my hair. now my hair is too short for frequent conditioning and also no longer dyed so i try to do this about once a week instead. it keeps it looking alright.

Personally, I think you'd look nice with that longish surfer look. Have you tried it?
As to product, you may want to give mousse a shot. If you use the right stuff, it just gives your hair body. Gel is disgusting and makes your hair goopy or crusty. Not cute. Give mousse a shot. Pantene's Ice Shine smells nice and will make your hair a bit shinier on top of giving it a bit of a wave.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: öde on 31 Dec 2008, 09:29
Gene, get your sides and back trimmed a little and mess up the top (mousse is a good suggestion, but you could probably do it without it) to get a better bedhead look. It might help if it was feathered too, but I'm not sure.

I can't help but lol @ how serious this guy is, but that's the hairstyle I'm talking about. The way your hair looks now, it makes your forehead look a bit high. The bangs sweeping over it would remedy this.
You'll get the longish feel you like, and it will look a bit more polished. You may have to grow your hair out a bit more so that your stylist has something to work with, to give you the texture and shaping you need.

Also, feathering began with Farrah Fawcett.

I've been a hair bum all my life, cutting it whenever it became unbearably hideous or in my way but never caring much about it.
So in the truest form of noobness I come before you, Hair Thread Experts, and ask -

what to do?

(http://i42.tinypic.com/b4b0hh.jpg)
That's me with pretty short hair.

(http://i42.tinypic.com/ett8gz.jpg)
That's sort of longer hair when I don't do anything with/to it.

(http://i39.tinypic.com/ruspb8.jpg)
That's around the same length as before but with primping and combing involved.

(http://i44.tinypic.com/icjx9l.jpg)
And this is what it looks like now.

Now I'm open to any and all suggestions. Cut yes/no and how? Dye/color what and how?
I'm a blank slate to this. Haven't been to a hairdresser in more than 10 years. If I want to get rid of hair, I do it the old-fashioned way and rub it between rocks or against a tree trunk.
Please help me.

Man what is with people hating on beards? I would say that yours could use a trim, Sam, but ain't nothing wrong with it. You do not look homeless, because your hair is not a matty rat's nest, and you don't have things living in your beard. I say that you are fine.

My boyfriend has a goatee thing that I would not approve of if it were not necessary to keep him from actually looking like he was 13. It is the only beardy-type thing he can grow, see, and I am kind of sad for him because goatees are unfortunate but if he shaved it off I would feel like I was a paedophile, so I guess it is a necessary evil.

I don't know about blow-drying but you shouldn't condition that much, a couple of times a week is best, usually. How quickly does your hair get noticeable greasy if you don't shampoo or condition it?

Just go to a good hairdressers (a unisex salon would be better if you currently go to a barber) and ask them to make it shaggy, not much shorter, and whatever else you want. You'll probably be pleasantly surprised at how much you like it.

I found what I was trying to describe (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=dsIZg74mLt8) earlier. I still think you would rock this look, and I'm seriously tempted to get it myself.

i am okay with facial hair for the reason that it is totally natural and being revolted by totally natural things seems a little unreasonable to me. i understand not really liking beards in general, but the hair's going to keep growing there no matter what so you got to accept it to some degree. i am also way too lazy to shave my legs every day, so it's only fair that it go both ways.

I don't mind a well trimmed beard, but unkempt facial hair is like saying that you've rejected being a civilised person who gives a shit about their own presentation, hygeine or relation to society. It's like talking to a charming girl and then realising her armpit hair is so long she could strangle you with it, except far more overt.

I think it's the rest of someone's unkempt look that is unsettling to me, not the beard. Sam has a moderately unkempt beard but he is dressed sharp, has a nice haircut, etc. He visibly takes care of himself pretty well which greatly diminishes the appearance of the beard as uncivilized.

So to me he just looks like a sharp dressed dude with a hella masculine beard.

I am fully on board with Manda on this one. Beards, big ol' fuzzy ones are totally awesome when it is cold out because they are warm.

As for Sam's Beard, I kinda think it adds to his look. He's got all the rugged man basics with the flannel and the work boots, the beard just enhances all that. Though a trim will be nice, I'm sure.

As with many great stories, this one too begins with "I have this friend ..."

Anyway, I have this friend who has good genes AND is Canadian.
This combination enables him to rock the manliest of beards.
Now comes the kicker.
He can velcro hats into his beard.
That's right, he can take these ear-cover parts of pretty much any woolen hat and latch it onto his face.
Also, once a beard passes a certain threshold of thickness, it becomes impermeable to cold.
Even if it is snowing heavily, the snow will be stopped by the beard and melt over the skin instead of on top of it, forming a beard-mounted ice windbreaker for your faciness.

Beards are awesome.

I don't like beards personally...it seems silly to cover up a perfectly good face. Unless you have a deformed chin, in which case by all means...
Your argument amuses me. How do you feel about long pit hair on women? Or women with mustaches that don't remove it? I'm personally not revolted by it, but I think I'm in the minority here.

I think I am pretty lucky to have someone who doesn't really care if it takes me two weeks to remember that I was going to shave [body part]. This is especially true since exes have made big deals about being clean shaven or not, depending on their preferences, and since he leaves it up to me it comes down to what I want me to look like instead.

Post by: calenlass on 03 Jan 2009, 00:35
Guys I am thinking of getting my hair cut. Granted, this will probably take quite a while to implement, because I have learned my lesson about going to Great Clips and asking for their $14 haircut deal and getting the only person on duty at the moment who didn't actually know how to cut someone's hair before 6 weeks ago and certainly doesn't know how to deal with curly hair and then as she is hacking at the dead bits of my hair insults it by saying "you know, there are creams and irons and stuff that could fix this".

So basically I will have to find a decent place before this happens, but I am thinking of cutting off like ten inches or something. Right now it comes to the top of the waistband on my jeans. Is mid-shoulder blade length a good idea y/n? Should I go a bit shorter?  I am not going to cut it to shoulder-length precisely because it is going to spring up into itself something horrible and I will end up with an afro or a mane, but I like the idea of hacking off most of my hair. Plus, if I don't like it, in six months it'll be back down to my butt, so whatever.


It is longer than this (http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a300/calenlass/train4.jpg) now. When Tommy uploads his photos from this whole Scotland shindig I will link one that is more recent.

Post by: Katherine on 03 Jan 2009, 00:38
I would suggest leaving it a bit longer when you first cut it.  You can always go shorter if you feel comfortable with it, and find a decent hairdresser (which is such a pain in the ass) but you can't really do anything about it if it gets cut too short the first time around.

I say go for it. Drastic changes like that are always really fun to pull on people. I went from having super long hair (like down to my shoulders) to a mohawk and people shat bricks when they saw me the next day. Of course, I mostly go from having really shaggy (like just below my earlobes) hair to super short cuts because I am too lazy to consistently get my hair cut, but it still seems to surprise people.

I think just below the shoulders would be pleasant. I've never been a fan of hair much longer than that because it doesn't really frame your face well at that point. It'll be tricky though, unless perhaps you find someone skilled with cutting dry hair. (my sister has naturally curly hair and it's usually cut partially when dry when good results happen...half the time she comes home less than satisfied because the hairdresser didn't properly account for the springiness of the curls)

My hair is at about the bottom of my shoulder blades in length at the moment, and I actually got a haircut that I like recently. Normally hairdressers just cut it like it is straight, so I get weird layers in it, or in the case of the haircut before this one one side was longer than the other. The hairdresser I went to in Sydney cut my hair after washing it, but I wore it out when I went in so they could see how curly it was. Most of the time I get so much of the thickness cut out that when it grows out it looks awful. I am actually liking my hair at this length at the moment; I am sure the urge to get it cut super short and dyed crazy colours will return sooner or later, though.


What I am saying in a long and rambling way is that mid-shoulder blade would probably be a good length to have without it going super-afro-poofy curly, but maybe try and get recommendations for a hairdresser who does good cuts for curly hair? You just need to try and get it layered or something so that it's not all bottom-heavy with the curls and triangle hair.

The best haircut(s) I have had were always with wet hair, because curly hair is impossible to manage or make look good when it is dry, and were layered. Not the kind of layered that your mom had in the 70s and 80s, to make her hair bigger, but opposite, with only about an inch's difference between each one, and the shortest one on the outside. It was very effective at preventing triangle-head and looked quite good because all the curliest bits were not stacked on top of each other and you could see them all.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Eris on 04 Jan 2009, 03:18
yeah, the layers I got in my hair recently were done by twisting bits and having a lot of small cuts made in it at various intervals. This way of layering grows out well, rather than the step-like layers, which gave me a glorified mullet. I noticed when my hair was growing out of my last haircut that there was a certain point where the layers made my hair do completely different things; the longer layers had enough weight that the curls dropped, whereas the top layers were still super curly, so it looked terrible.

Man; curly hair.

You looked like a cross between Jonothan Coulton and Oscar Wilde beforehand, I would suggest returning to that look next autumn/winter. The new style is a bit close cut for my taste, but its a good look, perhaps a little more hawkish, but it will mean that by spring it will have started to grow out again and you can style it then at least.

Man, Oscar Wilde had a wonky face.
And I really cut it off mostly because washing long hair with one good arm is tedious.
Once I get better and my usual lazy hairiness (or hairy laziness?) kicks in, I'll be back in Bird's Nest, Afroland before I know it.

I don't know about blow-drying but you shouldn't condition that much, a couple of times a week is best, usually. How quickly does your hair get noticeable greasy if you don't shampoo or condition it?

Just go to a good hairdressers (a unisex salon would be better if you currently go to a barber) and ask them to make it shaggy, not much shorter, and whatever else you want. You'll probably be pleasantly surprised at how much you like it.

It gets a little flat the day after and noticeably greasy on the second day.

It depends. The front of your hair, do you have a cowlick or is that how you style it? I'm assuming cowlick since that's how it is in all the pictures; it looks like it would make it hard to do almost everything with it. The only thing I can think of that could make it work is just to blow dry your hair with the barrel facing downwards, and brush back and forth like windshield washers on the fringe part.

i can dry it straight with minimal effort, but my hair has a lot of wave to it. i am thinking of trying something different. maybe an angled cut? maybe some crazy weird color? i don't know. needs to be work appropriate/professional though.

Dear Yelley,

How much wave exactly is there? Because if there's a decent amount I think it'd be pretty to cut it to chin-length, add a bunch of layers and let the waves be. Also I think I'm starting to grow too much like Dolly Parton because your hair as is looks really pretty, but if you added a ton of volume to the top it would look a little bit more cute. Not like ridiculous volume like you're in the 80's, but stick some volumizing mousse in and blow dry the top of your hair at least upside down.

So guys I got a haircut and it perhaps a bit shorter than I would have liked but frankly it was annoying me. Also recently I forgot to shave and then went home for a bit without a razor and basically I am thinking maybe I should go for a short hair/beard combo as a temporary measure? I think this is the only way I would consider growing a beard again, but I'm not sure if I should at all. Here is a photo of me with the hair cut and some stubble and the cold glazed stare of a murderer:

I would suggest using some product to give it more volume and spike it up a little? The fringe plastered to your forehead makes you look like a 12 year old.

Hah, I know what you mean. That photo was taken the day I got it cut, and I had washed it afterwards as the product the hairdresser used was not my favourite thing. Since then I've been using product to at least lift the fringe away from my forehead a bit.

Argh.
I dyed my hair just last night, but thing is....a few months ago I dyed it dark brown, close to my natural hair color, because I was tired of dealing with roots. But I got bored with it recently and tried to go auburn-y....it didn't work out, because about two-three inches of roots were undyed hair, which takes color a brighter than dyed hair...so my roots are bright red, and the rest of my hair (midway to my back) is a warmish-brown.

If I just get some brown dye and do my whole head, will that make the roots less noticeable? I don't need a perfect fix (a little red tint to the roots is fine) but I'd like it to be less noticeable, but I'm not sure if it'll work out.

This is what I get for not letting my normal hair person do it.  :cry:

Jens, I spent years trying to get my hair to look like that, in the end I gave up and started growing it out to my shoulders. I'd say it's the perfect 'style' for you. Show that shot to the person who cuts your hair, and say "this is what looks good, improve on it" or something. A subtle haircut can make a huge difference.

Do you think hair around this length would suit me (http://i43.tinypic.com/28l50l5.jpg) or what? People have been suggesting I go short but I am unsure, but it could be fun(I have a really wild mane and it is so thick and so hot in the summer)

And/or keep my length and go redhead?

PS De_El, I like it in the first picture, but not the second. Honestly I think you'd look handsome with a short messy style.

Andy, your hair is so amazing long, and although i think it would be a shame to cut it off, it doesn't hurt to experiment. Basically I'm saying you should do whatever you like, so I'm not really much help at all. Shorter hair would show off your shoulders, neck, and jawline better, but you can do more with longer hair. Weigh up the pros and cons, because I kinda regret cutting all my hair off, even though it looked awesome when it was super short.

Yelley, with a haircut like that, I believe you would have been totally justified to respond with a good ol' fashioned "Well, your face looks weird."

Seriously though, it's a cute cut, and I think it is more interesting than your old one due to the added visual texture. My sister also has really straight hair and I always thought she looked better when she cut it short like that too.

Andyyyyyyyy. I love your hair long. BUT considering I went from below shoulder length hair to very short hair this past summer, I don't really think I can tell you not to go for it. I think you could pull off short hair just as well as long hair, but what you have to think about is how long you'll be able to stand it short. Growing it out from short to chin length is rather annoying (for me anyways) and takes patience, especially if you want to go back to that length. I love your hair long, but I am of the personal belief that most girls are far too attached to their hair, so if you want a huge, drastic change, go for it! Otherwise, maybe just do it gradually.

May, I think you should cut your hair to shoulder length and get some layers and possibly some fringe if you want.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Jace on 25 Jan 2009, 00:31
I'm posting here with still pretty short hair. I usually just get it faded up to very short (aka, the marine cut) because it looks nice and is easily maintanable, but I think I can look good if I grow it to a medium length again. Then I don't get asked if I am going into the service.
Do people like the idea of a mussy spiked look? I have a cowlick on both the left and right front, and the left and right back of my head, so sometimes gel doesn't work that well and my hair just flips to the side.

Also, Andy and May, I think maybe you should try going with 2 or 3 cuts, start with say shoulder length, and if you want it shorter, cut it again, and if shorter still, cut it YET AGAIN. It takes a lot less time to make hair shorter than it does to make it longer, so if you cut it too short, you may regret it.

Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: BrittanyMarie on 25 Jan 2009, 09:14
Andy, people get weaves to get hair that looks like yours. Of course you can pull off short hair; you're absolutely gorgeous either way, but I'm still a fan of the long

BUT if you are going to chop it, I have suggestions. (Click for big)

The top one and the last two are my favorite. They're pretty much the same haircut, just styled differently.

And for May! I think a side part first, then layers will add volume and shape and look really pretty.

I've never really considered having a fringe before but you've set me to thinking. Never in my entire life have I had an actual hairstyle, I think now might be the time to start.

I used to have a side parting, actually, but it somehow drifted back to being a center parting again. How do I stop this from happening? Other than, you know, actually spending any time on my hair at all ever.

mine used to center part naturally and it hated side parting. now it side parts naturally and hates center parting.

not sure if this is really what fixed it, but i would part my hair on the side when wet and pull it back into a ponytail and let it dry that way. eventually maybe the tension made my hair like to be parted that way again?

I switched to a side part this fall, and it's still acting up at times, and moves closer and closer to a middle part :p After each shower, it will fall naturally into a middle part, but if I just comb it over to the side, it stays there, which it didn't before. So I guess it's slowly changing, just by being fixed in 20 seconds after a shower? After being in a middle part for 20 years, I guess it will take a while.

I used to have a middle part and now it's a side part. It will try to go back to middle for a while, but if you comb it when it's wet and sometimes blow dry it with a brush to make sure it parts where you want it to, eventually your part will stick. You just have to train it, pretty much.

Post by: redglasscurls on 26 Jan 2009, 03:20
Yeah, I switched to a side part a couple years ago when I started getting bangs. I still have to re-do my part each time in the shower, but if you just do a quick comb while the conditioner is in it takes all of like 5 seconds per shower.

if you want to cut your hair short, cut your hair short!

when i first joined this forum i had pretty long hair (http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/2145/93620024iv6.jpg) and then about a year ago i cut it really short (http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/5442/taniaxf4.jpg). it was terrifying but then i absolutely loved it and haven't even thought about going back since.

obviously everyone who is not me is not me but you should definitely give short hair a chance because i am really glad i did. if it's awesome it's awesome, if it's horrible it'll grow back so it's not even that horrible really.

Andy, I love your hair long since it has such great body, but you could probably rock it short if you wanted to. I looked terrible with short hair because as it grew back in it turned suddenly curly and I had no idea what to do with it :P

This could look pretty good on you, how it has those long long bits to the front.

Hrm, I still can't decide. I have a while to think about it because I don't plan on cutting it until I move(Read: my mother is a hairdresser and would cry if I cut my hair off, seriously, she'd cry). But I am seriously considering it! However, on one hand, I can do more with long hair, and my long hair not scraggly and gross but awesome, on the other hand, short hair is cool, but long is sexy! but short is funky, but long is...

You can see my issue.

Post by: Lunchbox on 30 Jan 2009, 14:32
Andy I think you would look awesome with shorter hair but I really really really love the way your hair looks currently, I am very jealous of it. If you want something awesome and shorter though I like to look at suicidegirls for inspiration because despite the nakedness it is pretty much a concentration of cute girls with awesome haircuts. I use their Flickr (http://flickr.com/photos/suicidegirls/) because it is free and it means I don't have to visit their actual goddamn website.

I think you look cuter with more natural colours Jodes, the dark brown you had a while back was my fave.

Anyway speaking of dyeing, I went to a super posh salon to get my hairs done yesterday and I asked for a rich chocolatey brown and it came out sort of black. I have not had my hair this dark before, it might take some getting used to. I feel a bit washed out and have to make up for it with lipstick!

Actually I was thinking just the opposite. Please do not take this as a back-handed compliment, but I was thinking when I saw your pic in the photo thread that your cheeks have more color than before. Have you gotten more sun recently? It looks nice!
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: jmrz on 30 Jan 2009, 17:22
Also, your hair should fade out a bit with washing and sun exposure. When you go that dark, it does tend to lighten up a fair bit over the two weeks after the appointment. At least mine did when I was that dark. I have a posh hairdresser now and he has been wonderful about fixing my hair to make it look natural. I hardly notice my regrowth anymore until it's a few days before my appointment.

Oh! And that cut really suits you Lunchy, looks great!
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: BrittanyMarie on 30 Jan 2009, 19:22
I agree; I adore the actual cut on you. And I also kind of agree with your original assessment. It is a little dark for you, but it doesn't look bad at all and it should lighten up considerably since your natural color is fairly light, right?

Now, it may be different seeing as I'm a dude and you're a lady, but hair will grow back and the change is great. Plus, think of all the different styles you can try as it grows back! Just my two cents, of course, from one Andy to another.  :wink:

Quick question.
I have a cow's lick on the right side of my forehead, so if I try to part it any further across, my hair goes straight up and I look like Johnny Bravo.
Would parting my hair on the other side make it go away, or would I end up with some weird fringe that would look like a quiff?
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: mooface on 10 Feb 2009, 13:39
i have a HUGE cowlick on the front of the right side of my head, too!

i don't know what hairstyle you have... but i would part my bangs to the right to weight it down.  and after i showered i would intensely blow dry it down and add product if it was being particularly stubborn.

Pardon the angles, but it's the only one I could find where I had a nice cut and the cow's lick ruined it.
I've tried training it and everything, so I might have to go to a salon and tell them to "make it work or die trying"

(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y107/Mosag/Foto230.jpg)

(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y107/Mosag/Foto229.jpg)

Now, what do I do with it?
I have som incredibly irritating curly bits over the ears, and my neck-hair curls like fuck as well. The hair on top is fairly manageable, but that might be because of the length.

Normally, I have it all slicked, sort of rockabilly-ish, which I've had for ages now, but I'm thinking the beard I've started rocking is a bit too much of a style clash with that.
I'm thinking either going short, super-short or just short-short in the sides and keeping the long hair on top. I don't know! Help me!

I did it once before, with a result of  http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w44/Denzyz/DenPINK.jpg that.

oh mannn i love the pink and i am so jealous that you can do it.  when i see people with brightly colored hair it makes me so happy.

maybe just to try something new, instead of doing your whole head this time you could do streaks or maybe the tips or something?  or if you are certain that you want the solid block of color, the color you choose is honestly up to you (although i personally like the pink). oh and pics plz afterwards.

I can honestly say that's the first time I've been told I looked like a barbie doll. Heh.

I was thinking an overall purple color, with electric blue streaks through it, this time around. I do like purple, and last time I did the pink because a friend did it too. Yay conformity!

Not a big deal.  I understand, a lot of the girls around school now do that bright pink streaks in their hair thing, and well...they're barbies, pretty much.
Although if you think me with pink hair is barbie, you ought to have seen me when I was bleach blond for a couple days. It was weird.

Okay, you guys. I need help here.

I have THIS fucking mop of brown unrulyness:

(pics)

Now, what do I do with it?

Honestly, I like the look you've got going.  The length you've got now is actually my favorite on most guys.

That said, I think you could also rock something shorter all around, leaving just a little bit of the length on top, like this:

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v321/NvrTooMuchPython/short-mens-hair-style.jpg)

(Too much hairspray and constipated grimace are optional.)

If you're looking for a big change, you've got good enough bone structure that I think you might be able to pull off the "bald young man" look.  Maybe?  Maybe not.

Also personally I think that looks great as is. Trim up the back and sides and keep the top.

Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: pwhodges on 17 Feb 2009, 12:55
Back - first is fine, but third could be stunning though perhaps hard to do really, really well.
Front - first or third (can't tell the difference, really); second isn't formal enough for the back.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Slick on 17 Feb 2009, 13:29
Back #1 definitely, bangs #1. Bangs #2 I think looks really good but Paul makes a good point about the formality.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Gemmwah on 17 Feb 2009, 13:57
style #2 or #3 with bangs #3 for sure. i like 2 a lot but 3 is more dignified. i guess option 2 would be better for punx-ing it out or being a tad cheeky/youthful, whereas 3 is more refined. either way, i want your hair colour.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: mietteissass on 17 Feb 2009, 14:05
style 1 or 2 are really nice. 3 could be amazing but it would require jeweled bobby pins and some extra time. I would go with style 2 and add a few hair gems down the pony.

Bangs I would definitly pin back like style 1.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: BrittanyMarie on 17 Feb 2009, 18:36
Dang no way you guys, option three for the back with bang option 2 is by far the best, so there. A close second is back option 2 (you would look like Belle!!!! if only your dress was yellow) with bang option 1.

Though really all of the styles you posted are nice, I'm just going by the dress you posted, and nothing is classier than a french twist.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: jmrz on 17 Feb 2009, 20:14
I'd go the French Twist (i think that's what it's called - option #3 updo anyhow) with a some kind of sparkly hair accessory in it. Having your bangs out (i.e. like they normally sit) could work really well if your hair was clean and super shiny and they were styled well.

Also: How did you do the flipped over ponytail thing? I used to have this loopy thinger when I was a kid that did that and you'd pull the hair through and pull it down. Can you still buy them?
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Lummer on 17 Feb 2009, 21:07
In terms of the back, I'd go for #3, or #2.
Personally, I just think the ponytail is beautiful, but for a formal occasion it might be too... well, non-formal.

As for front, I'm gonna go with what gets a gut reaction for me. #2, with the bangs down triggers a total "Whoa"- and wobbly-knees-effect with me, so if I had the last word, I'd say that was it.
But again, it's not that "formal", so #3 might work best.

Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: MrSteevo on 17 Feb 2009, 22:12
Yes, I agree with the 2nd bang look working well, but then again it's a formal occasion. So maybe not the best choice.

Yes! Jamie agrees with me, and we clearly know what's up. But show us what you do anyway!

Also to Jamie, you can do that thing yourself without the loop, just make the pony a little loose and you just poke a hole with your fingers and flip the pony into that. I used to do it upside down before I chopped all my hair off. You might have to loosen and tighten it a couple times to look right though.

So here's my question. After 20 years of bicking my head every morning I decided to grow my hair out. I now have an inch and a half off odd colored hair on my head. My beard and eyebrows are honey blond. My head is sort of...dirt brown. I am sure that if I leave it long enough it will eventually turn the same color as the rest of my body hair (It has it's own goldd tint trying to peek out) but I am sick of the wait. How do I get the curtains to match the carpet?

SO!

I've never died my hair before.

but I want to die it purple... I'm going to use semi-permanent dye. The problem is, the brand I've bought only comes in semi-permanent, and the only permanent I have easy access to are crap (CVS doesn't give great purple options).

So if I like it, I would want to dye it permanently. But where would I find the same color?

Also, is dying it a terrible idea?

(my hair looks like this: http://www.new.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=335821&l=efb92&id=1172281292 and this http://www.new.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=267803&l=93acf&id=1172281292 - Sorry, I don't know how to put photos in... and I'm the one in the plaid shirt in the first one)

guiz, guiz, I want to do something with my hair. something drastically different than what it is now. I'll start with what it is now: really curly at the ends, decent sized curls (as in, not basically-an-afro curly). Although If I comb it when it's dry it sticks out like an afro, sort of. like I said, curly at the ends, which means the top, not really curly at all. (when I have really short hair, it's straight, once it reaches a certain length, it starts curling the fuck out of itself) If it were straight, I'd call it a little less than shoulder length ~ish. as is, it almost reaches the bottom of my ears, and doesn't cover my eyes at all. I'd like to make it clear, I think I have pretty nice hair, and whenever I get it cut, the hairdressers say I've been gifted, like I'm fucking superman or gandhi or something. I take good care of it, comb it (when wet, don't want no fucking afro), shampoo & conditioner, all that shit. this is how I feel about my hair. but I'm sorta bored.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, I don't have a problem with my hair, but I feel like maybe I should do something, I haven't had a drastic change in hairstyle for a while. so, what do I do?
oh, and I'm a guy, just to make things clear.

Lila dying your hair isn't a terrible idea.  If it looks bad, or you just don't like it, you can wash it out or dye over it with another color or just wait for it to fade.

I always wanted to try purple, and never did before I entered the Adult World of Frowning Upon Unnatural Hair Color, so definitely go for it while you can! You might have trouble getting the purple to really pop, though, since you hair looks a little on the dark side.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: pen on 24 Feb 2009, 08:04
It isn't hard.  Just bleach it first.  I did it purple when I was pregnant and it worked nicely.  Pain in the butt to keep up with, due to fading, but it looked nice at the beginning.

Any recommendations on ways to flatten my hair a bit? My hair's gotten to the point where it's about 4 1/2 inches at its longest point and 2 1/2 at its shortest and there is absolutely nothing I can do with it short of taking a straightening iron to it (I tried this a week or two ago and kind of liked it, but don't own one of my own and I know doing so on a regular basis is terrible for hair) in an effort to get it not puffing out.

I've gone so far as getting it thinned out multiple times, but am at the point where I'm being told thinning it out much further is just going to result in frizzing. The best I can seem to do short of an actual hair straightener is towel drying, combing and then putting it under a wool hat for a full couple of hours.

For a reference point, this is the disaster that my hair is right this minute:

I'm going for something along these lines with a little less effort and strain on my hair:

Dying your hair is a bad idea. It pretty much says "my personality is so wacky look at me I stand out" aka " I am kind of a bland person, but if my hair is a bright color I can hide it"

Jon, I think you are a handsome fellow, but that is not great hair. It's a really dated look, if you want something like that I am sure it is possible without looking like an anime character.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: 0bsessions on 24 Feb 2009, 11:50
I don't see the anime parallel in what I'm going for. I can easily see it in the disaster that is my current hair.

For reference, I know my hair is capable of falling flat. I used to have longer hair, but I used to shave it on the sides and that's a look I don't want to touch at my age. It's also been about six years since I chopped it all off.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)

Okay, that one I can see. It's a temporary thing, though, at least. I'm currently planning to go a good bit longer (At least down past my eyes, but no longer than my jaw line) and am trying to handle the transitional period without going insane.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Elizzybeth on 24 Feb 2009, 12:04
Jon, my hair is much longer than yours and obviously I'm a girl, but otherwise my hair basically does the same thing when I leave it alone (wild, loose curls).

There are a couple of things that I've found to help:
(1) Paul Mitchell's Super Skinny Serum (http://www.paulmitchell.com/Products/PaulMitchell/Smoothing/Pages/SuperSkinnySerum.aspx) is incredibly good at calming frizz & relaxing wave.  I know there are other straightening serums and gels and whatnot, and probably some of them are just as good, but this was the first one I found to work and I've been pretty happy with it.  And it's not that expensive (comparatively, and considering that you use only a dime-sized amount per day).

(2) Blow drying, while using a comb to pull the hair away from your head, straight, is pretty effective.  Of course, you do run the risk of heat damage, like with a straightening iron, but it's generally faster than straightening the whole thing.  And maybe you already have a blow dryer?

I have some but you won't like them 8-) *stands ready with sheep shears*

seriously. I can't stand to let my hair grow. I've awlyas dreamed of having my hair that length, and so am somewhat jealous even if you look like Nigel in the Young Ones. Maybe you should just trim it in the back and leave bangs? Of course that's sort of Emo. You'd have to suggest what you would like to have up tehre. Just don't shave it, neh?  My point is yu have nice hair so don't fuck it up. You could also go with that look you used to see during WWII where they trim it shortish on the sides but it's still fairly long on top. That way you can do lots of stuff with it depending.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Dimmukane on 25 Feb 2009, 21:46
I'd keep it at least shoulder-length.  That's really the only suggestion I have.  You might be able to pull of chin-length if you got some interesting hats (re: beanies, bowlers, the type of hats that hug the top of the head and have a short brim). 

But definitely take care of the hair.  I have a friend who looks a lot like you, except his hair is in a kind of disgusting half-dread because he typically never washes it and just in general does not shower very often (he is a crust punk/kvlt kind of kid and is rarely at his house long enough to take a shower).

I wouldn't like super shave it. Just trim it down a little. Its getting to the point when it is too long and silly.

It doesn't sound like an inherently bad idea Emaline, have you ever styled it like that before?

Also, long time no see hair advice thread (that I still don't know the rules to).

Umm, for a while now after my little fiasco several months ago involving a drunken night and my friend's hair trimmer, I've been trying to correct the mistake of buzzing my hair so short, and I've thought for a while now about growing it out super long (the opposite extreme of previously). The main problem with this is that my hair is tending towards the 70's way of feathered out hair, and I don't see it stopping anytime soon. Should I keep growing it out or give up and cut it back down to a more manageable length? (also possibly getting rid of the so called 'abomination' that came from me trying to bleach it for the first time about a month ago as well).


Shorter (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y110/Wildkyn/100_5822.jpg)(plus neckbeard)

Longer and bleached (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y110/Wildkyn/Snapshot_20090301_2.jpg)(minus glasses because of computer monitor glare)

So I haven't been around for a while but am curious as to whether or not I'm following a healthy progression of haircut:
Oldest (http://photos-d.ll.facebook.com/photos-ll-sf2p/v240/180/73/36618327/n36618327_34043763_8.jpg)

Now (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/Nanimar/030109.jpg)

The beard wasn't allowed to stay by the womanfolk (and frankly it wasn't wonderful and more than a little necky).

I've known people who have gone grey even earlier than you, and all I can tell you is that if you do start dying your hair, go to a professional. Boxed stuff is ok when you're just looking for a temporary change in color, but for something permanent you will completely fuck your hair. I know a good place in West Hartford to go for your hair, but that's about $100 for the dye alone, so you will probably find somewhere cheaper around Storrs

Aside from its length, we have the same hair  :laugh: Mine turns blond in the sun of all things. My forebears are rolling in their smallpox infested blankets over it I'm sure. My grandmother use to tell me there was a white boy in the woodpile. Of course, there was: half my family is scotch-irish.

I'd think you're too young to be letting your hair go grey unless you're a goth. Then you should encourage the look and Enjoy the notoriety.

Post by: Elizzybeth on 08 Mar 2009, 16:09
I actually really like that idea, Jens.  If you shave it, it'll be back at buzz length in a couple of weeks, and then you'll finally know what you look like with a shaved head.  Plus, if it's a good time in your life to make such a drastic change, then you're better off doing it now than waiting until you've got a job and think your boss wouldn't like it, or you've got a girlfriend who begs you not to do it, or you feel like you're too old to do something so, uh, punk.

Do it.

Pardon the David Beckham, but when I hear fauxhawk I think of something more like this:

(http://images.usatoday.com/life/gallery/uncool/mohawk.jpg)

The top and sides are nearly equal in length, it's just that the top has been styled to go upwards instead of sideways or forwards. What Tom has is much closer to a real mohawk because the top and sides are nowhere near the same length

These are my thoughts.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: BrittanyMarie on 09 Mar 2009, 21:05
I was discussing it with Nikki too, her opinion is with Spluff's, and I agree with you Liz, that when I think of fauxhawks I think of graduated hair length. Tom's just looks like a regular mohawk but grown out.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Alex C on 09 Mar 2009, 21:35
My new stylist was strongly in favor of giving me a spikily styled cut that sounded suspiciously like a fauxhawk when I finally got my hair cut last month, but I nixed it.

BTW, this also means I pretty much went in the exact opposite direction of the hair advice I recieved through this forum;, plus I went something like 8 months without any sort of cutting. I have this bad habit of deciding I just don't give a crap about my appearance in any way whatsoever (well, other than staying clean; I can't abide smelly). I really have to stop doing that.

Guys I am having a haircut! On Thursday! For the first time since June!

I am thinking of having it cut to shoulder length, and a sort of fringe a bit like a curtain. I can't really describe it but I know what I don't want and that is a stylish sort of bob with a fringe. There are about twenty girls with the same haircut in my year and I don't want to join their ranks, but I think it's time to have a hair style.

Here is the most recent photo of my hair, cross-posted from the Scavenger Hunt thread:

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v614/barmymoo/Scavenger%20Hunt%202009/IMG_1656.jpg)

Mostly it's fastened back in a ponytail because there's not much I can do with it, and it has hellof split ends.

Post by: pen on 10 Mar 2009, 10:41
I love your hair, it's so pretty!  Definitely cut off all the dead stuff, and maybe do some layers?  It'd give it some nice body.  I think fringe would look excellent on you.  Side swipe maybe?   

Before you chop it all off, though, definitely look through some magazines and stuff.  Your cut should depend on how much work you want to put into the style.  Let us know the outcome!

Dunno, I may be putting too much trust in these things, and I guess it's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to that kind of thing.

Anyways, can't say I'm a huge fan of that haircut, but maybe mostly because the hair on the guy in the bottom pic reminds me of a certain type of door mats.

Also, would it look really weird if I shaved everything but my bangs?  Kind of a modified chelsea, I guess.

Honestly, if I were going to have my hair like that (which I wouldn't, it's taken a few years to get to a length I am happy with), I would make it look like Travis Bickle's mohawk. So yeah, slim it and trim the front. Sunglasses and OD field jacket optional.

Guys I got my hair cut too! But I have no photos at the moment. It's still long enough that no one has noticed that it's been cut but in fact it is at least three inches shorter and is only an inch or so past my shoulders. Also she put layers in and shaped the front so I finally have pretty hair! And it is still a wash-and-go cut so I can be lazy in the mornings.

thanks for the input, hair thread! i think i will continue to stick with super short for a while. maybe in the future i'll try growing it out again and trying something fun and shaggy but right now having no hair is just so much easier to take care of.
the fringe does look pretty stupid in that first picture but that's mainly cos i took it very shortly after coming back from the hair place and it was all styled and had all that product they always put in, plus that bizarre "i've just gotten my hair cut" look that always goes away after you shower. it's actually quite nice and textured... just super short.

The straight un-spiked mohawk like in Taxi Driver won't really stay like that for very long in my experience.  It works at first because your hair is still trained to go straight forward and back but it will soon start to go astray and just flatten over the top of your head in an uninspiring clump.

after I got over the initial shock (people talk about me?), I realized that I really, really need a haircut. I look at my split ends during class.

soo... help? I am growing my bangs out because I always end up hating them but maybe I shouldn't bother? should I stay long or go short or what? my hair is so gross I need advice!

Yeah actually I never wash my hair. It's good!

At this point it's important to distinguish between "washing" and "shampooing". I haven't shampooed my hair in about five or six years (admittedly my hair these days is very short, but still it's incredibly strong and healthy). However I wash it every day - but I only use water. You just massage the water in thoroughly like you would with shampoo.

Seriously everyone should give this a go for at least a month or two. Shampoo is really only a solution to its own problem: it washes out the natural oils and stuff that your hair produces to take care of itself. The fact that it replaces those oils with its own stuff means that in the short-term your hair looks great - but then by the next day it looks like crap again, because the shampoo's left the building and it's taken all the nice stuff with it. So you put more shampoo in your hair to fluff it up again. Which fixes your hair up again for a few hours. But then the next day . . . And so the cycles continues.

RE: not washing your hair

This works for some people. Some people it does not. It works for me, however, if I go swimming just once it returns to step one. It's easier to just shamp/cond it every three or so days. Also.

Guys, if you have really, really long thick hair. There is no way for it not to get matted and tangled, trying to get those out after a few days without conditioner? Might as well just accept in a week I'll have dreads.

(Hair actually does dread naturally if you leave it long enough! Neat!)

I tried not shampooing before and it looked like an unmitigated train wreck. My hair is rather fine and straight so the sebum spreads rather nicely, so it looks great up until day three or so. After day 4 it looks rather disconcertingly greasy and by the end of the week I think my hair must be trapping and displaying other people's dandruff as well as my own detritus because shit gets pretty real pretty fast. Mind you, I was still showering and washing regularly, just sans shampoo. Also, it itched like a motherfucker.

Post by: Ladybug on 17 Mar 2009, 12:04
I could never skip the shampoo. I had to once, because we were up at our cabin (without electricity or water), and ended up staying for like 9 days, so I had to wash my hair in pure water being poured from a saucepan. My hair felt worse after each wash, and like Alex says, it itched horribly.

I've been considering trying baking powder and apple cider vinegar instead of shampoo, though. I've had it recommended from about 3 or 4 people, and they all have spectacular hair. Might be a conincidence, of course, and I can't help but find it kinda weird, but I figure it may be worth a shot.

I used to have to wash my hair every day because it would get really greasy and gross.  Then one week, I got really lazy and didn't touch it.  The next time I washed it, I didn't have to do it again until 3 days later.  Now, I don't wash it but every three or four days.  It certainly saves a lot on shampoo, and my hair is in better condition than it ever used to be.  That's even with the fact that I bleach it every few weeks.

Wardial3r, the thing with curly red hair is that if it is at the length you were at before, you will always remind people of carrot top. I'm sure you never ever heard that before ever though.

But even without that the shorter looks way better on you. Also I like your clothes a lot

I agree with Brittany, that length hair is not good on you. Maybe just a bit longer than it is now? I'm not really sure, because I don't know how it grows out, hopefully you don't have Clarkson hair.

Re not washing hair:

I wash my hair every other day and have done so for several years now. But you know, sometimes you skip a few days for whatever reason, so your hair gets greasy. When I had long hair I'd just twist my hair into pseudo dreds out of boredom, but now that I have short hair, I can't do that. So instead I give myself fauxhawks. Surprisingly sometimes dirty hair stands up better on its own than it does when I use some form of product.

I have silly hair.

Want to creep on you HARD

Also as far as not washing hair goes...

Your hair produces natural oils, when you shampoo it you wash them away, this makes your body do double time to replace them so it gets greasy quickly.  To break the cycle, start shampooing your hair less, maybe skip shampoo every third shower, and gradually cut it down.  Eventually you will notice that you dont even really NEED to use shampoo for your hair.  That is the one single thing I actually know about hair, and it has served me since I discovered it (unfortunately I have a lipbalm issue where my lips dry out without it do to a similar 'addiction')

I'm not a fan of unnatural fluorescent colors, but regarding the shampoo question; I always thought it's a good idea to wash your hair at least once a day,  especially if you're active in sports and such. I usually do the whole routine in the morning and I've yet to encouter any problems. My hair always smells good and is generally soft.

i wash my hair about twice a week and it tends to looks pretty nice and clean cos i have been doing this for quite a few years now. using just water is something i'd really like to eventually do one day, but it probably would have to happen when i stop putting shit like wax and gel in my hair. not washing your hair all the time saves lots of money on shampoo too!

Yeah, you also take less time in the shower, which saves water. I am an earthy-crunchy type, so saving water is always good!
I wash my hair maybe every other or every third shower, and my hair feels like it has so much more shine and volume, compared to when I shampooed every day.

Swordfish, I'm gonna have to say that I don't really like your haircut.

Not because it doesn't suit you; it does. Not because it doesn't look good; it does. Mainly because everyone I know with that kind of haircut is a skinhead chick (the neo-Nazi kind) and so it is just triggering all these alarm bells in my head that really shouldn't be triggered because I have no evidence to suggest you aren't rad.

Guys, it takes hours for my hair to dry after I wash it. I can't shampoo and condition it every time I have a shower or I would be having 30 minute showers every day and my hair would never be properly dry. Even when I had really short hair I would only wash it about every third day, out of habit. I have never really understood people washing their hair every day.

What I have noticed with my hair is that if I put a heap of conditioner in it and leave it in for ages it makes my hair actually goes more frizzy than if I use a smaller amount and only leave it in for a little while. I thought conditioner was supposed t make my hair less frizzy?

(I have been thinking of doing something drastic and awful with my hair lately, but I am kinda liking it this length, so maybe I will just give up on growing out my natural hair colour and dying it instead)

I have never really understood people washing their hair every day.

once you start it is extremely hard to stop on account you've now trained your hair to produce those oils in double time and it will look really lousy and greasy if you don't wash it every day. also if you are the type of person who needs to shower every day in the first place, like if you are an athlete or have a job that requires you to work outside all day, then it sort of makes sense that you'd get into the habit.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)

I only shower every second day(sometimes third)
I don't understand how people can shower without washing their hair! Not because I think it's gross but like. Okay, so I have so much hair it hurts, if I don't wash it mats. I have tried not washing my hair with shampoo etc for a week or so, my hair didn't get greasy and gross, but it did start turning into dreads. My hair is so thick that I can't really brush it without conditioner in it in a hot shower, I don't really brush it out of the shower because I can't.

Oh, I never noticed.*

*Sarcasm, I realize, just making a personal relation that not washing with shampoo/conditioner might not be viable for all people with certain hair types. My sister has hair quite a bit like Hannah's, she could never wash it every day, but if she stopped using the shampoo/conditioner deal well.. and she to stop doing the shampoo thing(she's hippie max) and well, when she did they started to dread, and uh. She just let them dread (she likes them but I don't think Hannah would like dreads even though she would probably look pretty good with them..waait..Hannah, stop using shampoo.)

(wow that was a long *foot)

Post by: Eris on 30 Mar 2009, 18:23
Yeah, I wash my hair every few days and after about two nights of sleeping on it without any sort of brushing it starts to look funny and gets big knots from the hair that has fallen out getting tangled in the hair still connected to my head (I lose a lot of hair, all the time. It's really annoying). It's about that time that I either wash it (and comb it while wet and conditionery) or I comb it while it is dry and all the curls turn into fuzz and I tie it back so no one can see. If I just left it to its own devices I would probably have a big ol' mat of hair on the back of my head and would look terrible.

Andy, if I was ever to get dreadlocks (which I won't because I am too white/not hippie enough) I probably go to someone and get them done properly rather than just letting my hair go and have messy-looking shitty dreads that I am sure I would get. I would try going without shampoo/conditioner for a while, but then brushing my hair in the shower would be a struggle and hurt more and I am lazy.

I think it depends, and that they both have their bonuses. Some girls look equally good with long hair or short, they're just attractive in different ways because of it.

Hi hair thread!

Since everyone's all debating short hair and whatnot.

I am currently kind of thinking about growing out my pixie which looks like this when not in an awkward growing out stage (it's brown again these days, and sorry about the drunks):
(http://photos-h.ll.facebook.com/photos-ll-snc1/v1926/230/51/660268433/n660268433_1384647_4196.jpg)

This is what it looked like long... but note that is the best that it ever looked when it was long. It has a mind of its own many days.
(http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v291/87/86/510172848/n510172848_682564_8793.jpg)

So: Are the curls worth the bad hair day anguish (I'd estimate about 25% of the time)? Or should I stick with it short?

Am I making similar faces in both photos so you can accurately compare the cuts? Or is that my only photo face? You decide

OK. Will continue growing (I cut it to about 1/2 in. long in October and basically haven't touched it since, except to de-mulletify and neaten it up a little... it's slow going) and cut it when I get sick of it. I would really like to get it to that length again, but I don't know how realistic that is.

Clara, what product are you using in your hair, is it gel? I like it a lot. And will most likely try it out soon.

Did I misread this? Do you guys really think that blonde hair has to be short to be attractive? Are you OUT OF YOUR MINDS? Are you just making up these statements to be subversive or something? Stop being so ridiculous! "Blonde is only hot when it's short". You're all insane. You're crazy. You have questionable taste.

Here is my hair advice. Don't get your hair advice from people on this forum, because for the most part, we're insane and some of us are genuinely convinced that mohawks are a good idea. A lot of us base something's worth on how radical it is, and that's just not good thinking. If you want to shave half your head, paint your house bright pink, wear suits to the park and get an achewood tattoo on your chest, then people here will tell you those are all great ideas. If you genuinely want to know what hair styles suit you best, compliment your features etc, then ask a hairdresser. Go have a hairdresser take a look at your hair and ask them. They're paid to think about this stuff, the people on this forum are taking a look at a static picture of your hair and thinking about what would look subversive. This will make me sound dull and uninteresting, but when it comes to your hair, be sensible. People judge you based on your haircut, if you get your hair advice from the QC forums, it'll probably show.

The QC forums are better at debt management advice than they are at fashion/hair advice.  The people here have no investment in your appearance at all. They will give you bad advice because it sounds cool. It does not matter to them. And most importantly, most people here don't have any taste.

I hope that if you've taken the time to read this, and it applies to you, that you go out to a nice salon or something and ask for your hairdressers opinion on what would look good. Don't make any suggestions before hand though, they're also trained to agree with you.

For the record, I cut my own hair. Yes, it shows.

Post by: Barmymoo on 05 Apr 2009, 05:45
Hell I agree with Darrly here, my hair is basically blonde and it looks crap short. My face is much too round for short hair, I just look like a fat boy. The only beautiful thing about my hair is the colour and it looks at its best when it's long and loose and flowing (so pretty much only for about five minutes after I leave the hairdressers).

However, short blonde hair can look incredibly hot (http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Media/Pix/pictures/2008/01/29/Primeval460.jpg). I guess it depends how cute you are to start with and also what kind of shape your face is. There are other considerations too, like the fact that long hair comes in handy as a sort of shawl if you're wearing strappy tops and don't like your shoulders, and as a pillow if you have to lie on the floor, and as something to smell if you're tense and use nice conditioner.

Sorry I didn't make it blindingly obvious that my opinion was my opinion so you didn't throw a giant hissy fit Darryl.

Edit: Oh an literally every time I've gone to a stylist and asked them what I should get I have gotten a horrible fucking haircut that forced me to wear a hat for at least a month, they also cost an absurd amount. I cut my own hair, and it looks fan-fucking-tastic.

Darryl stop being boring.

Also yeah, I agree with Tom on this one. Whenever I've been at the hairdresser with no specific wish and asked for advice on what would suit me, I end up either getting basically the same cut as I had when I walked in (just with less split ends and such), or something that is hard to style and doesn't suit me that well anyway. Whenever I do have a specific wish it has always ended up really amazing. I always bring a picture of the hairstyle I want because I'm not really good at explaining things.

As someone who has actually known a large handful of hairdressers.  Their number one absolute pet peeve is people walking in with no clue what they want and asking their opinion.  The only times that is cool is when you have a semi-relationship with them.  IE they have been cutting your hair regularly for at least 6 months (likes say 8 haircuts) so they are familiar with your hair and what its capabilities are where it lies if it curls etc, as well as know you to enough of a degree to possibly give two shits.

I know some who get really excited to do what they want with your hair. But these are usually the people who like giving really crazy styles to people, so it's nice when they can do something they want to do.

I don't care what color your hair is as long as 1) it goes well with your skin tone/complexion and 2) whatever cut it's in suits your face. If you are naturally blonde, that's cool, just get a cut that suits your face. If you are one of those people who can get away with whatever, go crazy. Get short hair in some outrageous color. Have long hair w/ or w/o curls.

Have fun! It is hair! It will grow back!

Chesire Cat, sounds like they're pretty tired of their job if they don't give a shit about how the customers hair turns out unless they know them. Also, shouldn't people ask hairdressers for opinions about what to do with their hair? Isn't that kind of what they are there for? I know a couple of hairdressers myself, and they love it when someone doesn't know what to do and they want to go a little crazy. On the other hand, I understand that it's not easy to know the definition of "going crazy" when for some people it's cutting a couple of centimeters while others go pink or bald or something like that. It must be pretty hard to judge what people actually wants, so I guess it's safer to go less crazy to make sure it's not too drastic for the customer.

Post by: Chesire Cat on 05 Apr 2009, 09:33
These are young hairdressers who are really into it and cut hair for shows and stuff, they really love their job.  But at the same time, they still want people to have *some* idea about what they want unless they know your hair.  And knowing someones hair involves building some history with it.

This is why you make friends with your stylist.  Especially when she's in school for it, then you can get discount haircutz.  That girl saved me 100$ last year, and threw a bangin' 4th of July party.

Hey Victoria.

You need to get a mohawk.

Do it yourself, Travis Bickle style.  You'll get all the boys.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Victorinia on 05 Apr 2009, 10:27
Nix on the mohawk, that's way too much upkeep.

I always go in with a vague idea of what I want, because I go to a student place, and students freak out if they have to decide everything.
The upside of it is that because my hair is so thick, the students usually buck and the instructors finish my cut to save time, and it's for $10 instead of the $80 they would usually charge. Of course, my first pixie took three hours, and I was late for work. But it was also probably the best cut I'd ever had.

You're also far more likely to get a fun cut if you go in with an idea, otherwise the hairdresser will be wary of shocking you. Nobody wants a sobbing client in their chair, and I think that's a reasonable worry. I know more than one girl who's cried in the chair when the cut ended up a couple inches shorter than they were expecting.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Drill King on 05 Apr 2009, 10:47
My mom is a hair stylist, and has been for 25 years. Most hairdressers hate when there is NO idea what you want. Have some general idea,"I'd like shorter, I'd like to keep the length but get a new style, I'd like another colour"

If you're going to a new hairdresser every month, no duh your going to get a shitty haircut, they don't live and see how your hair reacts. It's best to find someone with a nice cut, ask them who does it, and go to them a few times.

also, Kris is right, pictures are good. However. There is NOOOOOOOOOOTHING more annoying to a hairdresser when someone comes in with a VERY specific hair cut in mind, most people's hair will not do most things unless there is a load of upkeep to it. It's actually best to go to one good hairdresser for a while and then start asking them what they think. Example, I can't do reverse bobs without cowlickin' like fuck, I have had my hair really short like that and only because I insisted.


But, then again, I cut my own hair.

(PS Jens, you arbitrarily said you would recommend those things without knowing who! This is what Darryl is saying is bad. Shaving a head sounds fun but doesn't work for a lot of people etccccccc)

i only get my hair cut about twice a year but that is mainly cos i am perpetually broke and for the last couple of months it always looks pretty shapeless and silly. still, unless your hair fast grows like crazy i feel like once every 2-3 months should be enough for most people. mine grows pretty quickly and that's usually about how long it takes before i start to notice anything different. once a month or more seems pretty extreme.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Liz on 05 Apr 2009, 13:46
I cut my own hair, and only about two or three times a year. Since it has to grow in little spirals, it doesn't gain much length even though it grows like crazy. Oh well.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Chesire Cat on 05 Apr 2009, 13:56
Lets not split hairs here, the point I was making is an ongoing relationship with your hairdresser that gives them enough time to become familiar with your hair is pretty important.  For all you people who cut your own, well that means years of learning your hair so thanks for the input but without some relevant or anecdotal info contributing in other ways might be a little more helpful.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Lines on 05 Apr 2009, 14:11
I like going to hair dressers who know my hair. First off, it's hard enough finding one who knows how to cut short hair on girls, one who knows how to prevent your cowlicks from standing straight up, and one who knows how your hair will grow out. I am really happy with the one I've got right now. I don't know what I'll do if she ever leaves. (Probably go to a barber.)

Also, I have to get my hair cut every month.5 - 2 months when I have short hair. It grows fast and quickly reaches a point where it stops doing what it's supposed to. When I had long hair, I'd get it done whenever I needed a trim or got sick of my hair. Actually, this is the longest I've had one style in ages.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Drill King on 05 Apr 2009, 14:57
It doesn't take years to learn to cut your own hair really Ryan. However it takes common sense and most people should just go out.

Also, to keep your hair the healthiest you should cut it every 3-6 weeks. The average person grows like a cm or so of hair a month(depends on length), so just a trim really, split ends are the worst.

Sorry to interrupt Hair Thread,

Also the QC Forum dresses me and tells me what to listen to and it's worked out basically the best so far so fuck the haterz.

so I got some nice hair product at the salon. it's supposed to make my hair wavy and curly and not crazy frizzy everywhere. I tried it today after my shower but the instructions were like "put in hair and style as usual" but normally I just let my hair air dry to make it all curly. so I put it in and let my hair air dry and there was no difference except my hair was a little softer and limper.

what am I doing wrong? I'm pretty sure it's me, not the product...

Post by: Lunchbox on 07 Apr 2009, 00:49
Yeah usually with those wavy-fiers and curl enhancers you would need to blow it dry. Lots of them are heat activated too. It's a bit silly really because usually if you have curly hair, blow drying is the absolute last thing you ever want to do. I'd probably recommend a shine spray rather than a curl enhancer, and work a tiny amount in with your hands once your hair is almost dry.

Also Dovey cut your hair cut it I want to see how it looks

Work the product in with your head flipped over, then follow the little comic instructions. You leave your hair up like that for as long as you can stand (it's kind of a pain to get most shirts on over the wrap), then let it down and have it air dry the rest of the way.

OKAY YOU GUYS

MAJOR CHANGE UNDERWAY



My hair has gotten fairly long now, meaning roughly 18 cm on the top, and about 6 or 8 in the back and sides.

What I'm considering, is a buzz-cut in the sides, effectively making it a long-ass, wide fauxhawk-ish kind of thing. Ben Tuttle of the Dillinger Escape Plan has something similar.
After it's been cut like this, I can still slick it back like always, but still leave it down and get my headbanging, swhingy hair on.

y/n?!

FYI: I'm doing it regardless, I think, but still. Just laying it out there.

Or at least I do.

OK I'm pretty sure I'm just gonna steal your haircut dogg. The more I look at it the more it is basically the thing I would cut my hair short for.

alright guys, this was my hair a couple of years ago. I bit like Lummer's, only longer on the sides. I'm at a stage where I can go back to this again if I decide to trim my hair properly.

Should I do this? This is the best picture that kinda shows what it looked like.

Actually, I think the main thing that picture is telling me is that I need to spend more time at the beach. Salt water in hair makes the best styling stuffs.

I guess I should find someone who's willing to cut my hair then. What are the stances on doing this yourself?
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Drill King on 03 May 2009, 13:22
Honestly, what does your hair look like now? I am normally a big advocate for going to a stylist but it might be just enough trim here and there to be able to do it yourself.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: StaedlerMars on 04 May 2009, 05:41
It's pretty much a grown out generic boy 5 pound haircut. Trimming it shouldn't be too much of a problem as long as I don't get too ambitious. Once I get a hold of something with a camera attached to it, I'll post pics.

So I got bored and had little nervous breakdown with scissors. And this time...I gave myself bangs. And I forgot just how much they shrink up after you cut them.

Was there ever an official name for that guy hairdo where it's all nice and short, but the front is a little longer and it spikes straight up in the front? I always attribute it to the 90's and 3rd wave ska.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: A Wet Helmet on 09 May 2009, 08:50
I don't know if there is a name, but I often have exactly that cut because the god-forsaken cow licks I have in my hair prevent me from doing much else with it.

Blargh... I wasn't much of a fan of 3rd wave ska, nor the ten-minute swing fad that hit about 97ish.   I'm now going to have to grow my hair out and figure out how to do something with it.

I approve of the haircut.

Coincidentally I am growing mine longer, I sort of just push it off to the side, but because I have nice thick hair I can turn it into a fauxhawk of RIDICULOUS quality. I don't really have a camera though and I am pretty boring so there will probably not be pictures of it.

I say yes.  I recently acquired a full bang (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v321/NvrTooMuchPython/Photo306.jpg) for the first time since the fourth grade, and I've been nothing but happy with it.

Especially with longer hair like yours, though, some tapered bangs can help frame your face without having to chop off all your (beautiful!) hair.

How short were you thinking, Amanda? Trimming it a bit might look good, but not cutting it short. Short hair is for people with boring hair.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Ladybug on 02 Jul 2009, 14:38
Going to agree that that is some pretty hair you've got going on, but I can also get what you're saying about the weight of it. I had hair down to my waist at some point (it looked bad, I do not know why I didn't see it), and it would drive me nuts with both its length and weight at times, cutting off 20cm felt awesome. And yours is all curly and looks thicker than mine was, sooo.. Maybe trim it a bit, but not too much, like Nodaisho says.

Hm, I could've sworn Caleb posted about his hair here? Anyways, I was going to say to cut it shorter, so I'll just add that, even though I feel like I've maybe dreamt the whole post?
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)

Your hair is absurdly pretty. I wouldn't go any shorter than just past the shoulders with it...anywhere in that range (just past shoulders to where you have now) would look nice, I think.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: bainidhe_dub on 02 Jul 2009, 19:05
Aw, don't cut your hair short, Manda! I'd say keep it below your shoulders, but then again.. What do I know? You can pull off anything.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Juxtaposition on 07 Jul 2009, 11:15
redglasscurls, your hair is extraordinarily gorgeous. I would suggest some layers. The woman who cuts my whole family's hair is an absolute genius, and she did this haircut on my mom (who has similar hair to yours but not as thick) that pretty much would cover your entire head with those perfect gorgeous curls at the bottom.

And a little shorter wouldn't look too different, but might be easier on your neck. (I know how heavy long, thick hair can be. That's why mine's short these days.)

I hope you don't mind advice from lurkers.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Nodaisho on 07 Jul 2009, 15:27
Layers are a good idea, assuming they are what I think they are. That way, you would get the curls all the way down, rather than having the weight of the hair pulling them straight half the way. It would also cut down on the weight some, you could pair it with making it shorter if you wanted.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Drill King on 07 Jul 2009, 23:55
So internet, I essentially haven't really had a haircut beyond "trimming" for something like 6 years.
This is my hair. You can't see from here but it's quite long.


I've decided I don't want to have to brush it, or walk around with a litre of water attached to my head after I wash it.

I implore you! Make suggestions as to what I should do with it.

Short! Oh my goodness cut it into a little bob and wear it wavy and it would be so damn cute.

I'd be leaning towards this as well. Or something just long enough that you can have it in a bun. A tiny tiny bun!

Classy boys are looking for short-haired ladies.

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.

Post by: BrittanyMarie 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.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: calenlass 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.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: tania 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.  :x

Post by: pen 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.

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.

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.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: calenlass 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.

Post by: FruitKat 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?

Post by: calenlass 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.

Post by: David_Dovey 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.

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.

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.

Yeah, to be honest, I think it's going to be a looooong time before I can bear to part with my hair again. It used to be waist length, then I cut it to my chin, and now it's some of the way down my back and I love it and hate it all at once. My life is just so hard :/

It's not actually plaited all the way around up there — just two pigtails pinned up on top. I think it was this video that I copied it off (http://wishwishwish.net/?p=458). Supremely easy, and I'm pretty retarded when it comes to doing anything with hair (other than, like, uh, washing it).

They are just more time-consuming and more work, but so is having long hair, so.


Last night I put an egg on my head! Today, instead of this (http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a300/calenlass/train4.jpg) my hair was slightly (http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a300/calenlass/Hair%20Things/DSCF0018.jpg) other (http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a300/calenlass/Hair%20Things/DSCF0016.jpg) this (http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a300/calenlass/Hair%20Things/DSCF0017-1.jpg) and this (http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a300/calenlass/Hair%20Things/DSCF0014.jpg). I am really annoyed that the camera refused to focus on me, because it makes it hard to see the difference, but basically it made my hair shinier and the curls are fatter and more spirally. I also think it made it fuzzier. Oh, well, I guess I will just have to get a gel or something.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)

ooooh, looks pretty!  how long did you leave the egg on?  was it just the white or the yolk too?  i may need to try this.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: calenlass on 27 Aug 2009, 10:32
It was a whole egg. From what I read, if you have coarse hair the protein can dry the hair out, but you still need it, so basically if you don't know if your hair is fine or not (like me) just mix it with a bunch of your regular moisturizing conditioner. If you have really dry hair, put in a tablespoon or two of some kind of oil (I used virgin olive oil, since I didn't have anything else except canola). It looks really awful but you mix it all together and I just kind of poured it all over my hair and stuff, left it for a minute or two, and rinsed it out.

You aren't supposed to do this more than like once every two weeks because the proteins will coat your hair and make it crunchy. Next time I am going to try leaving it on a little longer; there is something called porosity that I don't really know much about, but people with fine hair benefit from proteins and people with low porosity (I think?) need more protein than others, and black/African hair is both of these I guess so some of the sites where black ladies are trying to grow their hair out had recipes for two eggs, avocado oil (it has protein in it) and conditioner and they leave it on until it gets hard and then shampoo it out or something.

I dunno! I was just experimenting. I am really annoyed about the frizziness, though. It is worse than I thought and I am still not sure if that was the egg or the new conditioner I had to use, but I have got to fix it.

In truth you are better off eating all those things so the goodness goes into your body and feeds your hair that way. Eating well is one of the best things you can do for your hair.

I have just gone from bright orange hair with long sideswept fringe/bangs to a very normal looking for me brown with a very short straight across fringe.

I'm in shock & cannot get used to it :(

Actually the egg thing going directly on your hair is quite popular and common. I have done it every few weeks since I posted that and it is working pretty well, and not in a way that would happen if I were eating the eggs. It helps to shore up damage to your cuticle, because once your hair has already grown out past your scalp eating shit can't help it, remember? And even people like me who don't process their hair or even use a hair dryer have damage to the ends and stuff. That is what the egg is for.

So, what sort of advice does the Serious Pony Discussion Forum have to offer to a guy who has really thick hair, and lots of it? It's not very long, and I try to model it, but even with specialist strong-fix gel I can never get it to stay the way I want it to, whether I use small or large amounts. It always sinks down flat. I have yet to try lightweight gel. That, or just let it hang and grow it out, although I'm not sure that would work for me. Halp?

My hair is getting really long, and I'm super excited about this.  However, 2 inches on the ends are dead and gross.  I'm so torn.  Do I chop them off and make my hair super healthy or just keep them there while it continues to grow so long.  I straighten my hair a lot, so even when I trim the ends, a month later, the ends are fried again, so I'm thinking I should just keep frying the ones that are already dead and not kill a new two inches and push myself into this cycle of death.   I use heat protective stuff on my hair, but it doesn't work well enough that it doesn't kill it quickly, so I'm not sure what other options I have.  Help?

Dear hairdresser,

I gave you very specific instructions. I even gave you the size you should use on your razor. I showed you how much hair I wanted left on my head by holding it.

You still managed to screw this up.

Hey guys, guess who's now sporting a Generic Haircut? I think I got what I paid for? But still, damn.

The buzz cut was dumb, the Beehive was dumb. I mean I 'get' that Natalie Portman made a splash but I would hardly give it a spot on the list since its kind of a haircut that has been around since they could sharpen rocks, and maybe the behind would have made sense, but not on a strung out musician.

I would have preferred this to be done as more of a retrospective. Giving us haircuts in a specific timeline with a when and why they became famous. Not just 20 random photos of different haircuts on different celebrities.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Bastardous Bassist on 11 Oct 2009, 13:58
Completely agree.  Most of the photos were from recently (like the terrible Amy Winehouse decision), whereas the haircuts represented by the photos tended not to sync up with the time period of the haircut.

By the buzz cut, do you mean in general, or just on women? Because I see nothing at all wrong with it, but I could see why it could be argued that it looks bad on women (makes them look much more boyish).

Nobody said there was anything wrong with it, but the inclusion of it in a list of haircuts from the last 100 years is rather silly, since it's not really a significant haircut in popularity or innovation (since it wasn't really developed in that period).

Well I was going to ask some advice about hair colour but seeing as all the photos I have as examples are of me rocking a beehive (Which I've been doing since 2004) I think I may not bother.

In defence of the beehive I could find soooooo many awesome pictures but I'm going with someone who is the opposite of Whino-house:

I'm not against the beehive, but there aren't many people who can pull it off.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Chesire Cat on 11 Oct 2009, 16:20
Maybe I wasn't clear enough, as a should-have-been retrospective. The beehive would have been someone from the era in which it was innovative and popular, and especially not on a blundering regret of a contemporary celebrity.

For instance, the pixie was done right, the Rachel was done right, the whatever Farrah Fawcets haircut was called was done right. Certain haircuts like the buzz that predate civilization or the beehive of a product of 2005 kind of ruin the whole 'perspective.'

*edit*

Just looking over the pics to affirm my opinions and found this gem I neglected to mention:

To be honest, I think Jens does actually hate beehive haircuts.  Or maybe he just hates Amy Winehouse's version of a beehive, because it is indeed a terrible version.

Bradford Crusty punks have this, but more dredlocked & messier on the top. It's horrible. Also Gyspys.

Bassist: I reckon I can pull of a beehive. Esp. as it is more inspired by B52's & 60's girl groups (Maybe a little of Pasty Ab Fab) than that travesty of a parody of herself. It's normally pretty tidy. I'm trying to pick a picture to prove my point, but then it's down to opion & you might think I suck when I think I look slammin'

Post by: calenlass on 12 Oct 2009, 11:45
Amy Winehouse's beehive is awful and sloppy. Why is half of it down? Did it fall out? And why are there curls and wisps all over it? Didn't her mother teach her how to backcomb and smooth it over properly?

Beehives are from an era when the styles subtly indicated how much work went into them, because having the time to spend on yourself was such a luxury (or you had a maid or a hairdresser or something to help). Time still is a luxury, but the looks have changed to suit our busy lifestyles. However, if you look at wedding up-dos and stuff for women, they are still simpler versions of the artistic creations they used to be.

Eliza, your hair is amazing. Amazing. I want it. I will have it. (I have decided once I've grown out all the fucked dyed bits I'm going bright red and damn the expense!)

So, guys. My hair has many layers of bleach and dye at the ends which prevent me bleaching the shit out of it and going fire-engine-red because it doesn't stay that colour at all if you have old dye in it. No matter what. Tried that. I've got an appointment with the hairdresser for two weeks and I am not sure what to do.

Ie: I could cut off all that remains of the shitty died stuff and be done with it - only, I'll have hair I will have to wear out. I always intend to, and never follow through, because I've never spent time on my hair and resent that I have to. And I'm used to not having my hair out. Or, I could get a trim and have to wait another two-three months to cut it all off.

I am of course leaning for the less sensible course, in which case I kind of like the first haircut (not the expression so much lol). The second one is me now.

(http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1378/5616492/22129636/377393442.jpg)   (http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1378/5616492/22129636/377393763.jpg)

Do you think that haircut would be unmanageable for someone who works out, is impatient with girly shit and is not used to hair in her face? Or would it be quick and easy enough to get straight and manageable that I could suck it up and deal with it?

I have never, ever bothered with nice hair, clothes or makeup but I want to move slightly in that direction, I just have no judgement of what is overkill for someone used to shower-dress-done.

Help?

I don't want long hair, I just don't want really short hair either even though I like how I look with it. It's just that I get sick of hairstyles very quickly, and it's time to try something new. I'm thinking something similar to what I had before I cut it really short, which was straight shoulder length-ish, only not as long as shoulder length I think and not as straight, because straightening it was a pain in the ass. I can't have it really long because my hair is very thin and when it's long it gets frizzy and ugly as hell no matter what I do with it.

...Obviously I'm not sure about what I want, we'll see when I get there.

Yay beards!

The part in the middle of my forehead is just hair that hangs down from all the rest and never really stays up properly even when I go to a proper hairdresser probably because I have a pretty intense widows peak.

I didn't really cut it, I just shaved the sides really, and didn't touch the other parts. Also, I was on my way to drunk while doing it, so I'm fairly surprised it turned out decent.

I used to cut my own hair all the time too, when it was curlier. I have the easiest haircut though, plus when I did it I'd just take a sharp knife and run it through, effectively just razoring it so i'd still have a layered look but not with the layers all different lengths. Because it was curly though it didn't really matter much since some curls would sproing up more than others so you wouldn't know if the layers were uneven anyway.

long spike punk mohawks from the 80s
   

Six giant liberty spikes, three colors, so long I could just barely touch the tips of them with my fingertips.  I slept in a chair rather than a bed to minimize the amount of effort I needed to put into repairing my 'do every morning.   Fucking awesome.  That and my leather jacket with the Die Die My Darling art on the back and  paintings of a donut eating pig in a cop uniform with a billy club and Jesus taking a drug test on the front made me look like the Exploited logo come to life.

For the record, it was also 1987.   We kinda knew punk was dead then, but my friends and I were trying really hard to give it CPR.

Good times, yeah.

I did a mohawk once (http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=30135833&l=9abfa7acca&id=1368840146).

It wasn't a real mohawk. More like a gluehawk.

Taking a shower afterwards was really gross.

On topic:

I got frustrated with my hair recently and chopped it all off with a pair of office scissors and two well-angled mirrors. The result was IMHO not terrible.

(http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs034.snc3/12168_1215298946577_1351920010_31000365_6367695_n.jpg)

But now it's grown out a bit and the failed fauxhawk thing makes my hair look crooked. I usually brush it to the side like this cause it looks dumber when I push it back or comb it down.

(http://i47.tinypic.com/11c89oz.jpg)

I could cut my hair and even it out but I'm considering getting a professional cut. Should I go regular hair or more legit fauxhawk?

Seriously do you folks not have $10 barbers?  I'm trying to ascertain the goal of the cutting your own hair thing.  Getting a friend to cut your hair I get.  But cutting your own hair, assuming you're not stuck on a desert island, this concept baffles me.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Drill King on 08 Dec 2009, 22:24
I have really thick hair, my mother is a hairdresser and told me my whole life that most stylists would have a fit if I came in :c so she taught me to do my own hair and subsequently I do pretty good.

I am not sure about some people, some people it is okay but other people it is really bad and they need to stop doing it and thinking it looks cool.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: pilsner on 08 Dec 2009, 22:27
My thinking, and I'm not trying to be controversial or anything, is that most people have no idea what they actually look like.  Like, most people, when they see a video tape of themselves, are surprised of what they look like.  Even with mirrors it's very, very, very difficult to get an idea of what your hair is going to look like to someone else.  So why bother?
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Ballard on 08 Dec 2009, 22:34
I have consistently had trouble communicating to barbers what it is I want. I'm not even sure what I want, to be honest, and "make me look good" doesn't cut it.

So it's easier for me to play it by ear as I'm chopping away and face the consequences of a sort of crooked but more flattering haircut.

I should mention that I'm happier with this haircut than any professional $10-20 haircut I've gotten in a while. And I can't afford a $50 salon cut, even in the unlikely circumstance that they can work with "make me look good" and nothing else, and get it right the first time.

I just want direction.

Fair enough, I mean the alchemy when you finally do find someone at any price who makes your hair look like you want it to is valuable.  I had a good 6 months where I was shaving my head just to make it easier but then some homeless guy said I looked like I was from the future and I had to go back to hair....

Well, I rely on cutting my own hair because I do not appreciate the hassle of trying to find someone who won't just yank a brush through my hair, who will not object to getting it wet first, who won't try and cut like half of each curl out to reduce volume or something stupid like that, who will not think that it is totally okay to razor my hair, and because it is this long:

(http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a300/calenlass/Hair%20Things/DSCF0016.jpg)


so basically I can just pull it around and snip it off if it looks split or gross.



I have been considering cutting off like 10 or 12 inches, though. I keep thinking about it and mentioning it from time to time, but I never go through with it because I would want a professional to do it and I cannot afford it.

This pretty much sums up me cutting my own hair. I've been to most cheap barbers here in Edinburgh and tried explaining to them what I want and the only time they got it right was when I said "shave it all off". And I can't afford an expensive barber. Usually I try to get a friend to do it for me, but last time was a pretty spur of the moment thing.

Gene, I think you should invest in a pair of clippers and keep it short. The clippers will help prevent it from being uneven and you can still keep it a bit longer on the top if you want. One of my friend's boyfriends got himself a pair, looked up how to do it on youtube, and she cut his hair for him and it looks pretty good.

Yeah your hair is your hair and it is what you've got. It's not like eating better or working out more would fix your receding hairline, so it's just a fact of life, and people are fairly OK with that. Receding hairlines can look cool but bald spots on the crown of your head look pretty lame, so remember that at least you don't have that yet.

B. I was kinda thinking about asking my dad if he'd grab his pair of clippers and have my hair go down to 3cm instead of 30.
Just remember that any hair you send to locks of love needs to be in rubber bands like little ponytails, you would probably need to have him cut those off with scissors and then buzz the rest. And for it to be used as wig hair, it needs to be 10" or more, although they also accept shorter hair, I think they sell it for other purposes to help with costs.

Can you tell I just did the same thing last month? Although mine is almost at the same length as yours is now.

Do what I do: go to a nice-ish salon and go "Hey, I'm clay in your hands! I want shortish hair, go nuts!" The stylists love it and you get a trendy haircut. I mean, I only do this like 1-2 times a year, cuz I'm hella poor, but if you haven't gotten a haircut in a while, which you clearly haven't, it's worth the money. I love my hairdresser though, so I might be biased. I really have to go back sometimes this week and get him to cut my bangs!

The past year or so I have been too poor in time and money to get proper expensive awesome haircuts so I have just been going to really cheapo places and getting trims in my lunchbreaks. On the upside, my hair has grown out to a nice length! On the downside, I am really really bummed with the way it looks. I need some texture again!
Oh well, I will find myself an awesome hairdresser again - maybe Jimmy's fantastic girlfriend who cuts Hannah's hair. I still want to take some pictures though.

Thank you! I haven't yet, but I was very careful with the clippers (I did the job myself, sup) and I managed to get probably 90% of my hair saved from a floor-dwelling fate. It's currently hanging out in a ziploc bag on my bathroom counter, and I'll send it off as I can manage it. I definitely had enough.

I also got my hairs did by my pretty friend Carlybutt. Luckily she loves me, so I got a discount. She got a $20 tip. I got it trimmed up nice, then she did slices in a diamond shape of caramel through and an all over color of a really rich warm brown with a little bit of reddish. It's really kinda subtle, and she made it so it'll look cutest when my hair is curly, but also super cute when it is straight.

yeah i use paste too, and a lot of brands also tend to have right on their products some sort of scale like "shine" and/or "hold" and then a rating along that scale so that even if you are not sure exactly what the product is, you can figure it out by looking at what it is apparently supposed to do with your hair.

I need a haircut. I have been saving it for a special occasion. My question is, what do I do? I kind of want to just look like

but if I am being honest I don't have enough dress clothes to pull the look off on the regular, and it would be a disservice to do it without the clothes.

Part of me just wants to go to a barbershop and have them cut it however manly men wear their hair, but I don't really know what that means, anymore. What is a good haircut for me, thread.

I have met you, and how short were you thinking? I'd say no to super short like Linds and I have, because I think your face is a bit too round to pull that off, and like Manda said, you'd look very young and cutesy. If you want to go shorter than you're now I think shoulder length would look great on you, with a few layers, parted on one side and maybe a choppy fringe which would frame your face nicely.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: ackblom12 on 12 Mar 2010, 08:58
I'd defintely say no to short hair, but if you must cut some off shoulder length would probably work.

I agree with Kris. I don't think super short would suit you, but I think a cut that sits just above the shoulder would look nice.

Dude, you seem to look good regardless of what you do and you always have decent ideas for other people so I doubt anyone here is going to be able to help you much.

I mean I am not that worried about not looking good I just wanted someone to point me towards pictures of some hairstyles it is what the whole thread is for you know? I thought it was fair of me to ask, since I really don't know what to do and if someone doesn't help I'll just end up with a mohawk again and fux that ish.

Post by: Drill King on 12 Mar 2010, 11:56
Kieffer I honestly think what you have now is pretty okay? Keeping it longish and sort of Boyishly Charming From the 70s is a pretty good look for you, if you aren't going to be classy all the time. I think that a bit longer is fine since you have natural wave in your hair, I wouldn't go much longer than what you have.

I just like wavy hair.

Post by: jmrz on 12 Mar 2010, 15:06
Okay, so after cutting my hair off to above shoulder length over a year ago, it's now getting back to the length it used to be - i.e. nice and long. Basically, I can't be assed to wear my hair out everyday. If I wear it out, I get distracted by it, end up playing with it and it just gets grosser quicker. Lately I've just been twisting it up into a bun and leaving my fringe/bangs out. On really lazy days like today, I pin my fringe back so it's not annoying me. But, this look is kind of getting a bit boring. What are other things I can do with long hair to a) keep it out of my face b) are quick and easy and c) do not require a shitload of hair product.

The only product I put in my hair is heat protection spray and a smoother thing once it's been blow-dried and straightened. I do not want to put anything else in aside from that. A bit of hairspray is okay, just not heaps of it.

Pictures for reference. The second is to give you an idea of what my bangs normally look like. I normally straighten my hair so it sits super flat, otherwise it goes all wavy and annoying:

Well, that picture you posted of the dude from Mad Men (I assume that's the right show, I don't know I don't watch tv) is pretty good. Something like that would look good but maybe have it a bit longer?

Basically the kinds of hairstyles I think you might be leaning towards is stuff like Ethan Hawke in GATTACA (http://i.realone.com/assets/rn/img/6/8/7/4/20664786-20664790-large.jpg), Christian Bale in American Psycho (if you want something longer) (http://wpcontent.answers.com/wikipedia/en/e/e9/Batemanas.jpg), or Bruce Wayne (http://l.yimg.com/eb/ymv/us/img/flickr/96/95/002613399695.jpg).

Alternatively, David Bowie once had this thing (http://fashionblog.am/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/david-bowie-20051203-88014.jpg) going on which looks to me like kind of a longer, messier version of what you're thinking of. The good thing about that haircut is that you can slick it back much more for a cleancut image or let it hang a bit looser if you want a more laidback kind of thing.

These are the kind of haircuts I went for a few years ago but with red streaks in as well. That's probably not so much your style.

Kieffer, you're a handsome fuck. Anything short of shaving or buzzing your head and you'll look good.

Grow it out maybe. It would be the most drastic thing you could do without sacrificing fashion.

My best friend has his cut in a 1940's short back & sides, but the top is kept a little longer, that way when he is doing full on dappper chap, he can war it like Jon Hamm, but when he's out & about in jeans he can mess it up so it looks more, ummmm, I can't think of a good word. I also can't find a decent example of each, he wears hats a lot, so most of the photos of him are hat wearing ones.

Double post as it's a seperate question:

Dear Hair Advice Thread,

I'm in hair colour hell. I have had bright red hair for ages now & changed to what was supposed to be a deep purley colour & is rapidly fading, my birthday is coming up & I want to look nice, this hair colour does nothing for me,  as I'm going to be properly old I would like to have a stupid hair colour one more time, I had pink hair for about 4 years. It looked good, I want pink again.

There are 2 problems with this:

Firstly my hair is a nightmare & dry & ravaged, so bleaching it to get the pink might not be sensible.

Secondly I would probably have to dye it back after my party week as I am not only looking for work, but also staying with my folks, who would, however much they like me with pink haiur, not see it as a good job getting look.

Is it totally ridiculous to possibly ruin my hair (again) just for one week of fun? I can't decide. Help please.

I'm a sucker for red hair, go for that! Do you want to keep it shaved on the side? Or is it in fact just a really severe side parting at the moment? Get a fringe! You'd look cute with a sort of sweeping fringe and maybe a bit shorter all over.

Post by: Lunchbox on 15 Mar 2010, 15:09
Eliza go for it! Bleach the crap out of it and do it pink, then get it all cut and trimmed and have a nice moisturising dark colour put through.

And Gem I love it the way it is! That little wave on the bottom, the strawberry blonde, the shavey bit... awww. But I guess if you wanted different I think you also look really spunky with dark brown and also pinky/red and maybe sort of a cut like either of these?

oh my god i've been looking through here for about an hour and a half, and there are so many rad haircuts but they're all really short.

I don't want to lose too much length on it 'cause i've been trying to grow it out for a while, and i think i might keep the shavey for a while yet 'cause i dyed it red and i actually hate it a lot less now that it has a decent colour to it.

also i do have a fringe i've just taken to pinning it out of the way when it's having bad days.

and lunchy i think "punkdorable" is my new favourite word.

Gemm, you look awesome. Very pretty. Also, if your fringe doesn't often want to do what you want it to, have you tried threatening it with a straightener? Back when I had shortish hair, and recently now that I've got fringe, I used a straightener often to keep my fringe perfect.






Also, so, I've been growing my hair out for awhile. It's currently just past my shoulders. Lately I've been itching to shave it back down to how I used to keep it. Any thoughts?

I really really liked your old hair. Do it!

I am having the same troubles, I am finding I hate my hair now that it is finally grown out and want to chop it off again. But maybe I will like it later! Oh I don't know. I don't have the money these days to get haircuts every 6 weeks anyway.

I've been getting urges to just buzz off my hair down to the minimum to avoid sunburned scalp, but I look pretty bad with that kind of haircut. When I get my hair to about the longest I might want it to be, I might post it in here for ideas.

Oh okay riiiight.

Hair colouring time! I am considering going auburn again because I really liked it. However my boyfriend is ginger and I feel I would look silly with fake red hair right next to a real redhead.

Here is me with fake auburn hair standing beside some gorgeous person with actual auburn hair.

Post by: Emaline on 16 Mar 2010, 23:58
Lunchy, I am interested to see you with your regular hair color. It just seems so different, which I think is mostly because I've only seen you with reddish hair.

Emaline has the right idea -- you need to cut your hair short. Right now you look like you listen to too much KISS.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Rizzo on 17 Mar 2010, 00:22
OH AND THE OPTIONS DONT INCLUDE CUTTING IT CAUSE I LOOK RETARDED WITH SHORT HAIR.

I haven't had my actual natural colour since about 1997 but here is an approximation from highschool:

Rizzo man, you look like a sensible adult in that second picture! That's what I have been striving for my entire life.
Your hair, at that length right now, looks a little nuts. Untamed. Wild. Maybe that's circumstancial and it's not always like that, but taking off some of the length to make it more manageable is never a bad idea. It looks like it could be as long as say, Andy's hair if you took a pair of straighteners to it, and no dude (with rare exception) should ever have hair that long.

 My second suggestion, which probably would require you to shave your head if you've used the wrong dye, is the lose the black. There is no other way about this. Permanent black dye looks strange and unnatural. Especially on people with naturally light hair. You could probably pull off any colour you can think of with the following exceptions:
Black
Blue
Purple

With that in mind, go nuts. I think you'd got the right face type to pull off a lot of things.

Speaking with a ponytail, you're wrong, Jimmy.
...imagine if you will, the scenario of a guy marching towards you with the intent of looking tough infront of a lady after punching your lights out.
You know immediately that this guy wants to fight you, so you take your jacket off, hang it over a chair, reach into your back pocket, and take out a scrunchie for your hair. Straight away, you see in his eyes that he is having second thoughts. Afterall, you were prepared. What if that means he might actually lose?
You scoop up your hair and reach behind the back of your head, pulling your hair into a nice, tight, feminine ponytail. The look in his eyes has changed from minor self doubt to real, actual 'shit yer pants' fear. You have a ponytail, motherfucker. You mean business.
He no longer wishes to fight you, but instead would like to offer you a drink.
After all, the only thing more embarassing than losing a fight to a man with a ponytail, is being a man with a ponytail.

Barbershop, preferably one with an old guy running it and only recent mags.  0 back and sides, #4 or so on top - high speed, low drag and easy to maintain.  And in a pinch you can use your fingers as a comb.  The downside - doesn't work well with thin hair.

Andy, I think you could pull it off, but I would recommend shortening it in stages. You're hair is really long and it's going to be quite a jump if you're not used to having short hair. And if you hate it, you're going to be stuck with it for quite a while. I'm not saying you shouldn't, as I'm a big fan of short girl hair, but it'll be a shock if you're not used to it.

Pardon me for not having a clue what you're saying. I wouldn't really know where to find such a barbershop, for one...

Still, thin hair is not something I need to worry about. The plucks down the back of my neck have a life of their own, but for the rest it's manageable with some gel.

I think was that second picture of you the picture when I said you looked like hutch harris? I think in retrospect it is just because of the way the flash caught your face and exaggerated certain features.
That shirt you're wearing in the first picture is totally a hutch harris shirt though.

It's the 0 sides that stop it looking so Hitler Youth-y & more modern. I can picture the haircut in my head really clearly, if I'm thinking what he's thinking it's a damn versatile (& foxy) 'do
So, going back to this again, from what I can tell a 0 is 1/100th of an inch, and a 4 is 1/2. I'm not sure how a 4 all over would be hitler youthy. I'm wondering if I am getting this wrong, though, since you wouldn't need to use your fingers for a comb with hair that short, no comb at all would be necessary. Am I wrong about the measurements of the guards?

Gemm's Haircut: Aura of Infinite Hugs
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Ladybug on 13 Apr 2010, 15:40
Awesome haircut, Gemm!

Hey, so, uhm, those of you have actually had hair short enough to notice that it grows (before it's about 15 centimeters longer) recently, how long do you think I might have to wait for this thing not to do what it is currently doing, ie. standing straight up? My hair is super straight and usually pretty flat, but I had to have some of it cut to get stitches, and while it has grown a little bit, well… It's now at the stage where it will poke out from underneath the rest of the hair if I do a side part, which I usually do, and I do not like having to practically glue it down with hair product. I know hair grows at different speeds for different people, but I have no clue about mine, and some idea about how long it will take would be awesome.

(http://img.skitch.com/20100413-jug69xhsnm7jngq97yc3gubk5b.jpg)

(I actually had to buy some other hair product than shampoo and conditioner for the first time ever the other day just because of this.)
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Metope on 13 Apr 2010, 15:44
Normal hair grows about one cm per month, at least that's what my hair does. No idea how long the hair has to be before it stops standing straight up though, but my bet is a couple of months from now at least.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Ladybug on 13 Apr 2010, 15:49
Man, that's a long time :/ I keep forgetting to put in stuff, because I'm not used to actually having to do stuff with my hair, so I'll, like, notice later in the day that oops, I have this tuft of hair poking out. It looks sort of like how you sometimes see kids' hair when they've decided they wanted to try cutting it themselves.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Lines on 13 Apr 2010, 16:16
I was that kid. But then my mom cut the rest of my hair to that length, which is not the best option for you. Other than product or a side part and maybe some bobby pins, I don't really know what would help. I'd suggest keeping a hat in your bag if it bothers you that much.Hopefully it'll grow quickly enough. I have a cowlick on the back of my head that almost always sticks up right after I get a haircut, but usually it only lasts for a week or so before it calms down.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Metope on 13 Apr 2010, 16:21
Ugh, I have two cowlicks on the back of my head that makes everything much harder for both hairdressers and myself. Basically my two options are either shave them completely off like when I have short hair, or wear my hair long. At the moment I'm in the process of growing my hair out again, and I asked my hairdresser if there was any way of making the back of my hair not grow upwards and look terrible until it's long enough to not be called short anymore. She paused for a while and went "... no". Sigh!

Yeah, a hat has come in handy a few times now, and I'm considering knitting a new one in cotton, as it's getting warmer. It's not the hair so much as the fact that when it's standing straight up, it exposes the stitch-area (which hasn't healed completely even though it's been about 2 months and thus doesn't look that great) and even draws attention to it that bothers me, I guess. But yeah, I suppose I'll just have to be patient, and maybe hope that at least the wound will look better soon, if the hair takes forever.

Mine don't bother me that much, really, but then again, I texture my hair a bit more when it's that short, so it doesn't stand out that much. Usually if it's sticking up, a bit of putty helps calm it down.

I am getting a haircut Friday! I do not know if I should just ask for a trim (boring!), take in a picture, or ask this new lady to work her magic. (She has gotten glowing reviews from my friends, who also have short hair.) I need suggestions! Post some pictures! I need something short and fun! (That does not include shaving my head.

These are the two different ways I've been trying it, it's still longer in the front but only about an inch long in the back. I think I prefer the first option but I have a hard time making it stay that way.

Mine does. Well my old one did. This is my first Haircut since my hairdresser of 7 years moved to Australia, my friend from school did it for free, she is very very ace, but not even close to my style or pop culture references, she is however a good listener & hairdresser:

(http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b186/elizalovesyou/24737_404009752792_529017792_457278.jpg)

I didn't give her a photo, but we had discussed what I wanted beforehand & also how I like to wear it, how much time I have to spend on it etc. (It looks a bit crappy because I have been running around in the wind all day)

If you do take a photo in, don't take one, take as many as possible, from different angles, also if they can't cut it exactly right due to your type of hair they have more than one reference to work from. My sister made that mistake years ago, she took in a picture of Justine from Elastica, but they completely screwed up the back, they didn't cut it badly, just not how she wanted it.

I love the boy cut on ladies!


I had to fight the urge to do that just now actually. Instead, I just cut it chin length. Dying it tonight, we'll see how that goes.

So, yeah, as I said, I cut my hair. It sort of started out with my boyfriend telling me not to and me doing it because when people tell me I can't do something, I tend to do it. He wanted me to go to an actual stylist. But I think I did an alright job for it being 2amish, and having dull scissors. Also, I did properly lube up my head, and somehow still managed to super dye it as well. Oh well.

Pictures!

Were you going for super-understated blue or bright blue? The latter might be more easily achieved with lots of bleach.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Emaline on 10 May 2010, 20:59
I'm allergic to it. And most hair dyes. I'll actually die if I used them. No joke, the last time I used a regular hair dye, I ended up in the hospital.



But like I said, I don't feel like the pictures do the color justice. I was expecting it to not be super noticeable, but man. This is the blueishest my hair has ever been. It really came out a lot more greener/turquoise-y than the pictures show. I expected it to look like dark hair with shiny blueish parts, and it came out very very blue.

Your hair is gorgeous! Take it to a hairdressers, get the bottom shaped into a sort of curve and maybe a tiny bit of layering if it won't cause massive poofiness, and then walk around looking like a Rossetti painting.

hey internet, i am lookin' for a drastic change. thinking of going from blonde to like a rich brunette.

I did this! I'm very much naturally blonde and got very very bored of it. I started putting darker streaks into it and then I just thought "you know what, fuck it!" and I went all over brunette. I don't think I will ever want to go back to blonde, I love love love it.

I'd say do it, you seem to have a similar complexion to me, so it won't look out of place or silly. Also, I find that being a brunette, my hair looks healthier and shinier as well.

Doooo itttt.

Here's what I look like now (apologies for the myspace-esque pictures and half-assed sad face hah) I've got really thin, blond hair.

Jens (forum name Jeans, if you don't know that yet) had a fauxhawk-ish haircut at some point, if I recall correctly. So, jenshawk.

edit: Hey hair thread, remember how I said I was going to post pictures for advice? And that other time that I said the exact same thing? No? Probably because I never actually posted the pictures. But here is a picture, and an idea for what I want to do with the hair.

honestly, i think i prefer the long hair on andy too. i stand by what i said before about everyone looking good with short hair, like everyone said it is a cool haircut and you do not look bad by any means but if we're doing comparisons i think the longer hair just suits your face a lot better.

Yr hair looks super-wavy, so anything but a shear cut is going to require some level of maintenance.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Elizzybeth on 20 May 2010, 22:48
I like the length of the link you posted--and if you hate it, it's easy to go shorter.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Nodaisho on 20 May 2010, 23:07
That's true. If I end up hating it, I'm probably going to buzz it, even if it does make my fashionable friends cry. I like the one I posted, though, because it is a more nonthreatening haircut, and I need all the help I can get on that front, something about my neutral demeanor is apparently scary, although you wouldn't know it from that picture. But at the same time, if I needed to be a little more metal, I could part it, slick it up a bit, and have hair kinda like Acid Bath-era Dax Riggs. Another important factor for me is not having it in my eyes anymore, and I prefer to avoid a ponytail for the obvious reasons of ponytails on men generally being terrible.

What do you mean by a shear cut, Melodic? I'm pretty sure you don't mean shears as in scissors, because it seems like a buzz cut would require less maintenance because it would be shorter. And what kind of maintenance are you talking about? I use conditioner about half the time I wash my hair, I was told I wasn't supposed to do it every time.

Right, QC, this summer is supposed to be a scorcher.  Or so I've heard.  Right now I'm fairly certain 80% of the water weight I lose from exercising is through my head, my hair is pretty thick.  It has a tendency to poof out and look stupid as soon as I get out of the shower and whenever I exercise, which tends to be pretty frequently, and even moreso now that we're in the summer months.  A lot of my friends as well as the girl I'm crushing on think I should go ponytail, but I think my hair is too thick for that to look any good.  I've got plans to chop it off but I have no idea what kind of cut I should go for.  Help me out!

This is what it looks like right now:

My hair is quite thick.

Le sigh...this is probably what I'm going to end up doing, and just thinning it out once every month or two.  I know I need to keep the front hair a little long because of my enormous forehead, but I'm having a hard time thinking of shorter haircuts where that would work.

I should also add that I look ridiculous with a buzz cut.  So no shaving.  I'd have to keep at least an inch in the shortest places.

Since your hair is long and isn't layered or anything it weighs down making a middle part kind of ick because that is an obvious white line.

Has anyone else noticed that everyone thinks they have a massive forehead? Of course you have a big forehead! It's huge! It's like half of your head! But that's ok because everyone's forehead is like that. That's just how they are.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: tania on 02 Jun 2010, 08:46
something like what lunchy posted would be best. long hair suits you but i think you would look best with some texture and a side part with some long bangs if you are worried about your forehead looking big, this way it "breaks up" your forehead so that it's only partially visible and therefore makes it a lot less noticeable than if it were entirely visible or entirely covered.

like this!

I like tania and lunchy's ideas...and linds is right.  Short hair on my tends to look silly.  So I will probably lose about 1/3 of the length and it'll be thinner, which is better than the veritable ski cap of heat that I have now.  Plus yeah, I need to mix up the part.  You can't see it in the photo I had, but sometimes the hairs in the middle stick up and look kind of weird.

Yep. I blame TV for the scrubs+long sleeves association, especially Scrubs. The sleeves are short for a reason IRL, since it's a dirty job sometimes and you're trying to keep sanitary. Unless you're manning a desk most of the day the long sleeves are a liability.

Okay, so the boy is after some kind of new hairstyle. He isn't overly fussed on anything that will be long and face covering and annoying, but he feels like he needs to do something different. I have suggested that instead of just getting his brother to buzz it all off short and let it grow out again, that perhaps he goes to an actual hairdresser, but he has no idea what he wants! Advice?

Here are some photos of his hair now:

I mean, he doesn't do a lot to it when he does his hair in the morning, just puts some product in it to do that spikey thing he's got going on at the front, which annoys him if it gets too long. I might have to try and dig up some photos to show him what can be done with slightly longer hair.


EDIT: I'll imageshack the picture or something guys, sorry. :(

I got a haircut today. I took some advice and went to an honest-to-goodness real man's barbershop.

They had old wood and leather barber chairs, black and white checkered floors, even a velvet-lined compartment in which went my glasses while I was getting my hair cut. The place smelled of sandalwood and pure, unbridled masculinity instead of the foul pomade and disinfectant smell of a typical salon. A guy named Jerry who was wearing a tailored suit and a Swiss wristwatch shook my hand, asked me in great detail what I wanted (I told him to go nuts because I had no idea) and then cut my hair with clippers, scissors, and a straight razor.

The price was super reasonable ($28 plus a generous tip- I had just gotten paid) and this is what I got. A+ would hair again.

71st and Lexington. I generally dislike the Upper East Side but it makes sense that they'd have a gentlemen's barbershop there and not in some hip downtown neighborhood.

Coincidentally, the guy who cut my hair has been doing it for twenty five years, and his first job was at Astor Place Hair during the heyday of the punk and rockabilly scenes there.

I've been considering learning to shave with a straight razor. I've tried pretty much everything over the last few years, tri-headed electric razor, disposable razor, Gillette Power Fusion with disposable cartridges and all of them irritate my skin and don't give me a particularly close shave.

While I'm a bit intimidated by the selection and maintenance processes, and somewhat afraid I'm going to slice my neck open, I feel like it would be a worthwhile thing to learn. Thoughts?

The slightly effeminate dude with the suspenders? I'm not entirely sure about it. It's a tiny bit like what I've had for many years now on and off. I do however quite like that it is pretty damn long on top now, so I can get some pretty serious headbanging going. I'd love to have something to throw around like I have now, when my band starts playing shows in a few months.

I mean, grow it out then. I'm of the mind that you look better with shorter hair.

Pores? I thought we were talking about manly things.

Having clogged pores, blackheads, and oily skin is not a manly thing. It's a shitty thing.

Everything I've read so far seems to suggest that extra virgin olive oil moisturizes really well though.

cold pressed oils are actually really great for your skin. one of my favourite moisturizers that i adore but unfortunately cannot afford to actually use on a regular basis (this) (http://www.lush.ca/shop/products/face/moisturisers/gorgeous) contains extra virgin olive oil and it seriously does wonders for my face. it's the oil that comes out of your face that does more damage to your skin than the oil you put on it, and trying to strip it of oil entirely causes your pores to overcompensate and make even more, which causes breakouts.

I can't decide. My hair is currently longer on top and in back and I was thinking of just having the back trimmed up and growing out the top a little more. But it's hot, so getting it a bit shorter all over is so very tempting.

So having washed all the pink out for my real job, dyed it red, which has washed & sunbleached out to a pale strawberry blonde colour, which is very nice, but I kinda want another change.

I've been debating doing the whole "Put toner on it until it's a bit like a blue rinse" look. Is that completely awful? I really can't make up mind mind...Thoughts?

Ugh please don't.

Edit: My hair is sort of milder version of that right now actually. It got like this by accident and I really hate it. What happened was that I bleached it about 5 months back, and the regrowth since then has been dyed blonde instead of bleached, so I ended up with different shades of blonde. My hairdresser recommended me a silver/purple shampoo to make it less yellow and turn the regrowth into a colour more like my bleached hair, but the shampoo only worked on my bleached hair instead, so the yellow hair is still yellow and the bleached hair has a slight purple tint to it. My plan is to bleach it all soon and then continue using the shampoo, so I get a really cool and silvery blonde tone to my hair instead of the mess it is right now. Much nicer!

I kind of had that for a while but my hair was insanely short so it really just looked like it was incredibly light blue, and worked pretty well. I doubt that'd be the case for you, unless you want to buzz it all off.

I honestly just don't know what to do with it! I definitely am just tired of having a big ol' shaggy mop in the back, but I don't feel like asking my lady to just buzz it all off again because I have a funny shaped head and super short haircuts accentuate this fact. I always get flustered at haircutting places though and am never sure what to ask for so, uh, what should I do? What do you think would look good on my noggin?
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)

My tactic tends to be to go to the hairdressers and say "I want it to be a bit shorter but no shorter than [however long you want it to be], what do you think would work?". Usually I end up with the same kind of style each time, so I guess it is the one that suits my face shape? Try doing that.

What Allison said.

I've had the same problem you're having for years. My hair would get shaggy and shapeless (and the bangs would do that infuriating flippy thing) but if I cut the front too short I would look really awkward on account of my high forehead.

Go to a barbershop (not a salon, here's why (http://artofmanliness.com/2008/05/20/rediscovering-the-barbershop/)) and have them trim your back and sides short with a clipper. Keep the top shaggy at your discretion, maybe invest in some simple pomade or styling gel, and you're golden.

that aom thing has me missing my grandpa. he would always go to this one barbershop here in town, and i'd go in with him. and yeah, there always were a bunch of dudes in there just hanging out... hmm.

for me though, as a lady, the thing that has helped me the most is being friends with hair-bitches (self proclaimed). i just kind of tell my friend carly what sort of maintenance i do (she already knows though), how much shorter i want it, and what's the biggest thing i care about with it. then i just go "make me cute". ie i have kinda wavy hair so it has nice spirals, which she already knows about so i tell her i don't blow it dry hardly ever, just put some product in and go, i'm trying to grow it out, and i want to cover my grays but to be honest i probably won't be coming in all the time for touch ups, but i do want it to be fun and creative. but this is a person who already knows my hair and has seen it and me many times so knows my tastes... having a relationship with a hairdresser (like if you have a great haircut once, keep going back to that same person!) makes it SO much easier

You look good man. You'll begin to notice an awesome change once it starts growing out. I can't say I was instantly pleased when I walked out of the shop but in a few days to a few weeks, depending on your style and preference, you'll likely be really happy with it.

You should get some sort of light hair product (no goopy gel crap, just some really light pomade or styling mousse) and spread a little on your palms and fingers and run them through damp hair after a shower. Make sure to towel dry it first.

If you experiment with this and a comb you might find something you like. I never used hair products until I got a nice proper barbershop haircut and that opened up quite a few possibilities.

Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: David_Dovey on 11 Aug 2010, 09:34
I can't speak for anyone else but for me it's because I have immensely thick and wavy hair which is a bitch to take care of. Knots everywhere! Right now I have to wash my hair like once a month, if that.

Probably gonna grow it out again now, anyways. I got a haircut before I left so it should probably be getting good 'n' shaggy just as it starts to get proper cold.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Radical AC on 11 Aug 2010, 11:49
My hair has always been really thick, and really straight.  I've gotten a few knots before, but it's never been a big issue for me.  Mostly having to wear a hat or having my hair blind me at inopportune moments (like when I'm machining) has been the most annoying part.  I could never pull off metal hair.  I can't grow proper facial hair, or play the solos.  Also, as crappy as it is, I think most people wouldn't take me as seriously in a professional setting. (If they do now)

Dyed black hair can really be hit or miss.  The roots become apparent pretty fast if you have naturally lighter hair, which can be a good thing because it can mean redying pretty quickly and changing it if you don't like it.

The problem with going black is it is SO HARD to cover up if you don't like it.
I find black makes me look really pallid and washed out, and also it shows up if I have pimples or reddish blotches.
Try a really really dark brown instead, it adds just a touch of warmth that I find works heaps better.

I tried using some hair gel stuff that I had, but even after I had enough in there that I probably wouldn't need a hard hat anymore, I couldn't get it to not poof up in front. Is there a secret I'm missing, or is pomade really that much stronger than gel?

It's decided, I'm getting a hair cut and dying my hair a mixture of black and green (like this (http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7omgxWl5v1qa2st8o1_500.jpg)). Only issue is whether I go short or long.
Short (http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-ash1/v155/16/102/627535214/n627535214_1881996_6498.jpg) (on me, safe for work)
Long (http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1zketSfLd1qzs0yso1_500.jpg) (on some naked lady, NSFW)

I'm partial to short personally but the lady seems to have very similar hair to me, thick and wavvy. I'm not sure.

Guys, this may not be strictly hair related, but these last few days I've been pondering something which might count as EXTRA HERETICAL in some circles.

I'm kinda considering shaving my beard. It's gotten pretty mighty after a good three months, but some part of me wants to start over, or try living without the comfort of a manly beard again. A walk on the wild side, if you will.

People, talk me out of this madness.

I'm legitimately considering ditching my trademark messy fringe thing that I've had for roughly a decade now. Most of y'all have met me by now, you know my hair is kind of shitty however I wear it. The problem is that I feel like people will find it difficult to accept me with such a decidedly different appearance because it will contradict their mental image. Right now I feel like it might be time to accept how high my hair line is and just go for a short, maybe kind of spiky on top cut. That way I could also wear my glasses more, which I like doing.

Any sensible opinions or suggestions would be appreciated.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: tania on 04 Sep 2010, 22:39
if you don't want longish hair anymore then the best alternative for a receding hairline is very short hair that hugs your head with a just slightly longer fringe in the front. some places call it a caesar. it is probably most well known as being the haircut worn by none other than george clooney, aka the sexiest man alive. yes, george clooney has a receding hairline. and yet look at how good looking he is! who the fuck even cares about receding hairlines anymore! i would bang this guy like a million times.

(http://bp2.blogger.com/_Bv2JCUhRdUE/R_Fcs3LcPfI/AAAAAAAAAhc/QJf8AlTspuI/s400/georgeclooney_beard.jpg)

i really don't recommend going longer and/or spiky with a receding hairline unless you want to look like sting.

Post by: Ptommydski on 11 Sep 2010, 10:14
This year I was recommended this incredible stuff which is a really fine powder, almost like talc. You drop a little bit in your hair and it sets like hair spray or wax but doesn't make your hair look dirty. I doubt I'll ever use anything else ever again, though it's not strong enough for the kind of haircuts where you need industrial adhesive style gel. If you just want a bit of crumple though, it's the best thing.

Oh man yeah, since I started using that two years ago I've never even bothered trying out other stuff, it's just so perfect. Whenever I want a little bit more hold I use a small amount of spray over that again, and that's all I'll ever need. Also, if you have fine/thin hair (like me) it makes your hair look a lot thicker, I've never had issues with my hair looking flat and lifeless after I started using that powder.

that sounds absolutely genius. whenever i mess my hair up i use fibre putty, because it holds and moulds like wax but doesn't leave your hair feeling greasy, which is a mega plus.
I heard about fiber putty, but I thought it was going to be really expensive. I saw some at the grocery store for something like $4 bucks, is that about right, too cheap, or too expensive? Looked like a few ounces of it, in sort of a cup.

I'm either going to be getting this hairstyle again

or this one

(http://www.thefader.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/josh_homme.jpg)

(yes that is Josh Homme shut up)

so I think I will need something with really good hold if I go for the second, not so much the first.

What I like about the first one is that it tends to look better later on in the day.

The guy in the first picture doesn't have a hairstyle. He is in dire need of one, though.

I found that it has the rare distinction of making me
A) not scare small children,
B) not look like a giant nerd
C) not look like I belong on the disney channel.

It was hard finding something that fit all of those criteria (and it passed with flying colors because depending on what I did with it, I could go back into scaring small children land).

Hey, new on this thread but I do need some Hair Advice. This is open to anyone haha. I haven't cut my hair in about 2 months and now it's kind of getting longer (I usually wear it about half the length I have now, slightly shorter on the sides and spiky messy at the top).

So now that my hair is a little bit longer I feel like either a) doing something new with it because it's kind of crazy, or b) growing it out further to see what happens.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

Fiber putty is pretty great! And yes, it is usually rather cheap unless you're buying some salon grade, expensive stuff, but the cheap stuff works fine.

Honestly, the stubble is the only thing that keeps that in the "People think that looks good now?" category and out of the "I have a sudden desire to punch him" category. Not that it looks particularly good, but it makes him look like slightly less of a pussy.

And it still manages to improve that haircut.

Alternately, I might want to go for the Tom Waits. Can't find a good picture of it, but I'm thinking particularly of his hair around the Bone Machine era. Not the haircut where it is like 6 or 7 inches long and standing almost straight.

edit: I guess I can show a video of the haircut I'm thinking of. This one, although it doesn't have a great view of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqOm78Vvg3w&feature=related

The Josh Homme haircut is a fantastic idea.

So my hair's grown back out into the usual shaggy mess and it's time for a haircut. I'm strongly considering something in between these two styles. If I got the top one, I'd leave the sides buzzed as opposed to completely shaved.

It's a sneaky kind of friendship.

Also hair thread I am thinking about cutting a foot off of my hair which will bring it to like, shoulder length but have no idea what to do with it from there. Is saying to the hairdresser "hey can you make it kind of androgynous" an acceptable thing to ask/will a decent hairdresser know how to do this?

Edit for a little detail: I have never gotten a haircut, really. I used to get this boy's haircut which around the age of 13 I was like "fuck this stupid shit" and just stopped getting it cut (except for the occasional inch off here or there). So, I really have no idea how to request a certain look, especially when I don't know how I want that look to, uh, look, because I've never really had a hairstyle beyond 'let it fall down and make sure it's not tangled'.

There are plenty of dudes out there with long hair, especially in the music industry, so do what I do and google it. (Long hair for men pops up quite a bit of things.)

shaving your head is really brave. it's a strange act because it completely liberates you from any sort of head maintenance whatsoever and probably feels really weird as hell too. it's probably worth doing at least once in your life just to know what it's like. i've considered shaving my head a bunch of times for that reason, i keep my hair so short that it would probably grow back in five or six months anyway.

i think it's a cool thing you did, guy.

Truth.  I would encourage you to take 3/4 of an inch or so off the back, just to take it solidly out of mullet territory.  But I like the top and sides as they are.

keep the back a lot shorter than the front and sides. i have short hair and a seething hate for maintenance as well and that seems to work pretty well for me. it's also a hairstyle that can usually grow out for a good couple of months without looking too terrible.

Now, I know we're largely pro-beard on this forum, but I either need encouragement or for someone to talk some sense into me, whatever the case may be.

Dovey, you look good with long hair, but you look So Good with your current hair style. I will be said if you decide to grow it out.

But you know what, hair is meant to be grown out and then chopped back off. I can deal with being sad if you grow it out and then chop it off later. I am growing mine out. Maybe it's just the season to grow out your hair.

I have grown my hair longer than it has been for years, sometimes I wish it would grow more so I could be the Prettiest Princess, sometimes I wish I could cut it all off because it gets in my mouth and stuff. My face shape has changed over the past couple of years (my grandmother says it has 'filled out' which I guess means I actually put on some weight,  that's okay) so I am not sure if I would look as good with my super-short hair as I did before.
Whatever, I have been growing this hair for a while, my goal is it get it a few inches past my shoulders, I guess I will decide what to do from there.

I can now but you seriously get tired of having a buzzed head. The rule is you can have 3 inches of length on top as long as long as it doesnt cover your eyes. The sides have to faded and not touching your ears. The back must be clean at all times. I push the limits as far as i can usually. One thing i learned is no matter how good your buddy thinks he is at cutting hair he isnt.

I'm thinking of it this way: on you, long hair would mean regressing into teen style. Keeping the short cut would be embracing the fashionable adult. You can afford to do either at this point in your life but I think you're doing an excellent job with the suave grown-up look so short hair all the way.

I shudder at doing this, really...
Looking back at old pics is painful in a way, as I've lost almost a hundred pounds in the years.
But alas, I'm having a hair dilemma ... I currently have short bleached hair, and I'm normally a brunette.

I'm debating growing it back out long again, or going medium ... and WHAT COLOR. Like ... should I re-dye? BTW, I apologize in advance if the pictures are huge. I'm just pasting the img codes from photobucket.

Photo 1/2 ... newer pic with my original brunette then bleached short hair ... the uh bleached one was TAKEN upside down and you cant see it all but yeah ... and those are my natural curls, to boot.

I definitely think the first picture, shorter and kept straighter, is the way to go. And the side-parted fringe! I am a side fringe fan.
Even though I've been pretty much every shade of everything over the years, I think as a rule your natural colour + 1 or 2 shades lighter or darker is generally your best bet. (Of course there are exceptions!) I'm currently about 2 shades darker than natural and I think it brings out my skin and eyes the best.

Hair thread! Tomorrow I am getting my hair cut! :D This is the BEST THING because for about three weeks now I have legitimately not been able to see out without shaking my head first, because my fringe reaches down to the end of my nose. In other circumstances I'd have taken a pair of nail scissors to it ages ago but my manicure set is buried somewhere in a box.

This is not a request for advice, I guess, sorry. I have found a style I like and I'm sticking to it. But maybe I am giving advice? Cut yo' fringes dawgs. It is good for your eyesight and stuff.

(http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b198/andthentherewaslindsey/Photoon2010-11-30at19232.jpg)

I need HALP. I'm growing out my hair and I've reached that awkward phase. The super duper lady who cuts my hair is giving me a lot of help in cutting it in a way that will make my hair transition nicely into a bob, but I honestly don't know what to do with my hair as it's growing out other than wearing hats or just letting it be the fluffy hot mess it is. (Imagine if Justin Bieber's hair was fluffier and that's kind of what mine looks like now. Which sucks, hence the hat.) I can post another pic later when I don't have mad hat hair if that'll help with ideas.

So. Ladies who have had short hair and grown it out (and the few dudes around here who have done the same), do you have any suggestions? Or do I just need to deal with it?
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Lunchbox on 30 Nov 2010, 17:15
Visit the hairdresser as often as you can and let them know your intentions. There are plenty of cute cuts that you can have with not-so-short hair that don't have to be mullety. One thing that helped me was I had longer sort of 'sideburn' things (see: Ramona Flowers) at the edge of my fringe that helped the rest of it look purposely cool. After a bit I had it cut into a super short flapper/Katie Holmes bob and have just let it grow since. My hair is super-thick but very greasy so it didn't get fluffy, maybe you can try soem serum to keep it smooth.

This is sort of how mine worked:

My hair is starting to get fairly shaggy, so I cut it off more short on the one side, I'll be cutting it shorter soon as the steps that were in my hair have started to grow out and I want them back. Seemingly the past two haircuts I've gotten I've either done it myself on acid or had a drunk friend do it, and I've never been happier with two haircuts.

This direction, keep going y/n?

Andy your hair looks so neat, def keep those sideburn bits, I love those on ladies.

Hair thread, my hair is shitting me so bad. I hate how it feels long and it takes so much effort to wash and dry it every day (but I have super grease if I don't). BUT I have been trying forever to grow my hair long and I finally feel like I am getting somewhere.
I like the tousled look so that is what I am trying (blowdrying the fringe and letting the rest air dry with a bit of saltwater spray) but I guess I am not very good at it. I have little patience with my hair and usually only ten minutes to get ready in the morning.

I have been told I will have to blow dry my fringe to make it look nice, and I guess I am willing to do this now, so do you guys think it would be a good idea? I told ben I wanted a fringe and i think he thought I meant a big straight blunt one, which would look terrible, but I explained what I had in mine. He still doesn't really like the idea, but eh.

edit: Also, yesterday I got a remark that my hair looked kind of James Dean-ish. That made me consider just straight out asking for the stylist to make me look like James Dean next time I get a hair cut. Good idea? Bad idea? Best idea?

Well for me the growing process is certainly pretty painful but once it gets past a certain length, gravity tends to do a lot of the work. You've just gotta keep it clean and keep knots out of it, which can be a pretty harrowing process.

To be honest Tania my short hair is 1000000x more work than my long hair. And in both situations I haven't done stuff to it. My short hair just always dries stupid but my long hair I could leave it for a week and not brush it and it'd look great.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: tania on 15 Jan 2011, 14:05
yeah i am really just venting cos my hair is at the awkward stage where there is absolutely no way it can look even slightly normal or presentable in any sense unless i spend like an hour on it and i just can't be arsed to wake up early enough to do any such thing, but i have been holding out because haircuts are so expensive and also i have had basically zero time at all lately. this was supposed to be the future, i am disappointed we haven't yet gotten to the point where you can stop hair growth and just get one haircut that will last you for the rest of your life

My long hair drives me up the wall sometimes, but I love it and seeing as how last time I cut it off short, I hated myself. Basically when I cannot be bothered with it, I brush it, put it in a ponytail and pin my bangs back. If I want it to look super lovely and perfect, that involves washing, conditioning, drying, straightening and all of that takes like an hour. Cannot be bothered most of the time. Especially now in summer it is hot enough for it to dry on it's own, I blow dry my bangs so they sit right and just let the rest dry on it's on and I run the straightener over it later. So lazy.

Curly hair is easy, you can just wash it and let it dry and if it is a little crazy nobody really cares because it's curly and they are probably jealous.

I've basically arrived at the conclusion that I'm never going to have short hair again. I'd eventually want to let it grow out, and I couldn't bear going through the awkward half-mullet-not-quite-shoulder-length phase again.

whereas a packet of five safety razor blades costs four maximum

Shop around on the net and eBay for blades, there's some fantastic deals for bulk blades, and there's often samplers of different blades you can buy. Try a few different blades before settling on one brand, it really does make a difference which brand you use, and it's generally a matter of personal taste, yr shaving technique and the razor you are using.

My new job (or rather, the high-end hotel chain we are contracting to) requires that nobody grow a beard while employed there. It's cool if you had a (well-maintained) beard already, they just don't anybody walking around in three-day scruff. Sideburns past mid-ear are verboten too. In fact the grooming guide for our company specifically mandates daily shaves for male employees.

Post by: Nodaisho on 02 Feb 2011, 18:45
Man, the cold thing is so overrated. If it's so cold that you will be cold on your head you'll be wearing a hat regardless of hair amount!
Yeah, but when I had long hair it protected my neck and ears from the wind. Now my ears get really cold really quick. It got bad enough that I went out and bought a neoprene half-face mask that I have ended up wearing for the past few days. I was only planning on using it for being in the mountains, but when it is -23F with windchill during the day, I don't care if I look scary, I just don't want my lips to freeze off.

I have a razor that looks almost exactly like the one you have (or have coming still, not sure). It is really nice. Getting a good lather with shave soap takes some getting used to, though.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: David_Dovey on 02 Feb 2011, 19:45
Are you using a brush with that soap? Soap is harder to get going than cream but it still shouldn't be that big a deal. What about a mug, are you using a mug? A mug is usually pretty unnecessary but it often helps a lot with soaps.

Yeah, but when I had long hair it protected my neck and ears from the wind.

That's why coats have hoods! See also scarves and toques. Can't help you with the lips thing though.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Nodaisho on 02 Feb 2011, 19:57
My coat doesn't have a hood. It's a heavily insulated leather jacket. It zips to the chin and has a full-length placket blocking the zipper, but no hood. Generally I just wear a wool/acrylic hat, and if it gets really cold I have that neoprene facemask.

I use a mug and a brush, the key is to get the right amount of water. I've found that even just quickly running water over the brush gives you too much water with the soap I use. I generally fill the mug partway with hot water, dunk the brush, then pour out the water and shake the brush. If I'm doing more than a couple passes, I usually need to work up more lather as well. Cream would probably be easier, since you can get more going at a time, I'm limited by how much my brush will pick up on the tips of the bristles.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: David_Dovey on 02 Feb 2011, 20:05
Give that brush two or three good shakes after submerging it. That does the trick for me. You've got the right idea with warming up the mug beforehand as well. I haven't used soap in a long long time but I always found that no matter how little cream I used (the general rule is an almond-shaped blob) I always ended up with way more lather than I would ever use.

sorry tania, although that is a marvelous haircut I think I am still gayer than you. Although ironically the most gay person on this page has the least gay haircut(gemm).

oh god that whole sentence was really awful and I can't believe I'm hitting submit.

either way Tania, that haircut is awesome, it would have been most b'dass if you had gone super close to the scalp, but this is nice and more conservative and appropriate for people with jobs and being a grown up.

Yeah, buzz it off. When guys go bald and start growing their hair out, it just accentuates the baldness and looks kind of silly. May as well just face facts and buzz it all off!

Holy shit. I just changed the blade on my razor for the first time in probably more than a month. I did it because one side was tugging and the other was getting a bit rough. The new one is just unbelievably smooth, I guess I hadn't noticed how bad it had gotten because it was so gradual. I wasn't cutting myself or anything, but that just went through the hairs without me even noticing. I barely even heard anything.

A few weeks of shaving out of a blade still is really good, though.

Holy shit. I just changed the blade on my razor for the first time in probably more than a month.

How often are you shaving? A month seems like a really long time to go without switching blades. The rule seems to be that you'll get a week per blade if you're shaving everyday.

Also Stephen is right, the best look for a bald dude is confident awareness of the baldness. Own it, man.

I'm shaving every other day for the most part (if I'm in a big rush or out of town, I use disposables and cream), my beard grows slow enough that I can get away with it as long as I get it really clean looking when I shave. It also only grows along the jawline, goatee area, and the chin/neck for the most part, so it isn't like I'm shaving as much as someone that could grow a lumberjack beard would.

I'm using Wilkinson sword blades, which I've heard some people say are really dull normally, but I haven't had a problem. Maybe I just haven't had what else there is, but I don't cut my face with these, and they get the hair gone.

I just changed the blade on my razor for the first time in probably more than a month.

I got a straight razor for Christmas and that's all I've used since.   Yes, the upkeep on it is more intensive than disposables, but I've found I kind of enjoy the ritual.  Plus, now that I've gotten the hang of it, the parts of my beard that I do shave, i.e., my cheeks and neck, are essentially hairless when I'm done.  I constantly go "Wow, that's smooth".  The fact that I never have to throw away an overpriced disposable blade after a couple of days again really makes me happy.

You do if it is a disposable straight razor. Ben has one that you change the blades with, because he wasn't sure if he was going to like using a straight razor so he bought this one to test the waters. Also it was cheaper.  Something like this:

You can get straight razors with disposable blades (http://bestgroomingtools.com/shavette-straight-razor-with-disposable-blade-dovo-p-452.html). If I ever make the jump, that's probably what I plan to get. At least to begin with.

Lise cut my hair on Friday! She was not drunk, she was at work. I love love love it but it is two days later now and I am having a really hard time styling it so that it sits perfectly and flicks all in the right direction. This makes me very very sad.

My friend shaved her head about a year ago and it was amazing, not only because it was such a big thing to do (she donated a lot of money, and also the hair - and was part of a team with others who did the same thing at the same time) but also because she felt so different. I think girls who shave their heads get an even more extreme reaction than boys, although you'd better ask the other MaiMoo about that one.

the hospital is doing it again in may so maybe i'll consider it again then, i'll have a more concrete job situation and i figure by then my hair's gonna be a scraggly unkempt mess anyway.

So my hair is growing out and I've got a haircut booked - question is, I'm not sure weather to keep it in a longer style and possibly grow it out - the last few summers I've gone away so got it cut short - this summer I'm just in the country so no real need for short hair.

Also:

Do I look like Jack Black?

(http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/3820/image4ir.jpg) (http://img717.imageshack.us/i/image4ir.jpg/)

Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Lupercal on 26 Mar 2011, 05:49
I really, really don't see it.

I mean people have been telling me pretty much since I was 15-16, so 4-5 years now. I guess its just gotten old, but I like to actually have hair. Plus, my stupid Dracula hairline makes it so that I have to have a fringe or I just have a lot of forehead on show.

But thanks, its not really a problem - I just want people to see me as me and not as that guy who looks like Jack Black. Apparently when my girlfriend went to a party last night and somebody asked after "her boyfriend, Jack". I'm Richard. D'oh.

I actually like JB, I just like to think I have a personality. I'm thinking I'll keep it relatively in this style but just so it can grow out a bit better.

If anybody else has the super-pointy-hairline problem, I'd love to hear what you do with your hair.

If I totally overthink it, I kind of feel as though my identity is being shat on because people compare me to somebody else, and when I introduce myself people say "ah we should call you Dick!" to which I should respond "ah I should call you cunt!" but I'm never so rude.

Well, cheers for the observations  :-) could be worse, I could be a Kyle Gass lookalike. Think I'll just go with the inevitable and just keep a longer style.

For some reason, even against all instructions to the contrary, hairdressers/barbers give me a haircut that invariably lands me "Sheldon-From-Big-Bang-Theory" comparisons. Grr

I woke up with my hair in a perfect quiff the other day (sometimes having fucked up bedhead is a good thing!) and then managed to recreate it with hair goop + comb and i looked rad as fuck soooo I have basically resolved to cut my hair real soon so as to facilitate even better quiff steez. Basically I'm totally gonna jack Ryan's style (sorry bro). Just need a night off in which to get proper drunk and do it. Watch this space guyz

So I did this tonight and I did kinda fuck up but it wasn't too bad, basically I managed to shave a patch on my left temple way too short and also I made a right fuck up of the back of my head and I can't get a proper view of it but I'm pretty sure it's crooked as all shit. All said though, it is the first time cutting my own hair so I am pretty stoked with the results, I was expecting to do something far worse.

Here be pics:

Definitely not as sexy as Ryan, but I do the best I can with what the good lord gave me

Don't leave the patch, you're better off shaving it all the way down to the patch length and blending the top. It'll be sorta short for a while but it'll grow out better and it's so hard to get it even after it's grown a bit. Also you get bonus rockabilly haircut for like a week while it grows up.

It looks nice! I'm just saying as someone with the experience of the self haircuts you're gonna want the clippered parts to be even.

There should be a charity event involving Buck Shelford punching soccer's most notorious floppers in the face. Millions would be raised.

I'm going in to get a haircut tomorrow, maybe I'll post pictures. It's similar to Ryan/Dovey's except shorter than Ryan's and less effort than Dovey's.

Alright internet, I am feeling the urge to change my hair colour. My hair is naturally blonde and I wont go back to that, but it tends to throw a lot of red when I dye it brown, so I figure i may as well stop trying to combat it and maybe try and find a nice red to see what it looks like. I've been red before, but it was super bright and not really the right shade.

This is a recent picture of my hair:

I'm thinking somewhere in between these two:

Hey guys, hopefully I am not reviving an unwanted thread here... I know it's been a while since anyone posted..

I recently got this haircut. Short in the back, longer in the front, with bangs. It's a lighter brown in this pic but I recently dyed it a dark chocolatey brown.

(http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/378553_10150373584862717_520887716_8343787_530968334_n.jpg)

And I need to know what I can do with it. Right now the only two styles I have are bangs down (as above) and bangs to the side, like this:

I want to switch it up a little now that my hair is short and relatively easy to deal with. Ideas?

Post by: Lines on 07 Dec 2011, 09:49
I used to have a similar hairstyle (well, I still do except it's grown out a LOT) and some of my favorite things to do with it were to wear headbands or hair clips to add a splash of color and to pin my bangs in different ways if I wanted to get them out of my face. Mostly headbands were my friend, but I am terrible at trying to be creative with my hair.

I have a pretty gigantic head, apparently, so finding a headband that doesn't stab me in the skull is difficult. But I do like those. I dunno if I could pull off the big feathery thing though.

Post by: Lines on 11 Dec 2011, 15:23
I didn't know if the big feathery one was going to be your style or not, but I really want one for special occasions. (Not that exact one, but something similar.) And I don't hate the fat ones, but they always interfere with my glasses and I find it annoying. I do have a few fabric ones, though, that go around my entire head and those don't bother me. (I think it has to do with both the angle and also that they're thinner.) I've made some funky ones for myself that I like wearing with pig tails or a pony tail.

THREAD, I HEREBY RESURRECT YOU!

I really want to do this to my hair:

(http://www.bellapop.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/RAINBOW-OMBRE-HAIR-1003.jpg)

Buuuuuut I don't know if I want to bother with the upkeep. Also come January, I'd probably have to go back to natural. But COLOR! Thoughts? I really don't like jumping on fads and most ombre hair I think looks boring (brown to blonde is meh), but honestly, the upkeep for dying your whole head is a pain because of how often you have to do it and also this will let me grow it out with no real issues. (I can re-dye the ends or chop them off, but bringing my whole head back to natural is a right pain in the ass and it's not going to happen.) Also I'd rather do this myself, because I'm too poor to get it done professionally, but I feel like it might look better if I did. Or enlist the help of a friend who is talented in the hair dying realm.

It's this or streaks. For those of you who don't know, I have pretty severe hair ADD and the itch has returned. Growing hair out is boring, but I don't want to chop it off yet because I'm not sick of it, I'm just bored.

So let me start off by saying I am a guy.

My hair is getting longer right now which means I keep on wanting to do stuff with it.

I considered getting something like a mohawk, but i don't the time or money to keep that up
I also wanted to dye it. I was thinking blonde, but I do not want to be one of those guys who dyed their blonde and now look ridiculous.

Also, my hair is doing something very weird as it grows out, my bangs are growing out very evenly, it almost looks like I just cut them with scissors. It's weird

Now that that's out of my system, I am going to go crawl in a corner and do some manly things. Like listen to sports. Or punch a guy in the faace.

dr. - Just a warning, if you've never died your hair before I strongly recommend either finding a friend who's done it and is good at it or get it done professionally. At least that way you can watch someone do it first and ask for advice on upkeep and whatnot.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Carl-E on 02 Oct 2012, 08:32
You also mentioned you have thin hair, by which I think you mean "fine" hair (mine is fine also, but it used to be "thick" before it "thinned out", and now I'm pretty well just bald).  The opposite of fine hair is, of course, coarse hair.  Fine hair is more easily damaged by processing (dying, perming, straightening) than coarser hair, and there are differences between straight and curly as well.  So if you do anything to it, make sure it's done by someone experienced with the process on several types of hair - the amount of time for the different processes needs to be adjusted accordingly. 

Otherwise, you're going to do more harm than good.  The first time I shaved my head was after most of it fell out from a particularly bad dye job for a theatre production in college... and I'm told I was lucky it grew back as well as it did! 

Referece; My wife, a professional stylist until carpal tunnel took away her ability to roll perms and hold scissors... we used to talk about hair chemistry all the time, it's fascinating stuff!

Post by: Barmymoo on 02 Oct 2012, 09:45
To my knowledge, thin hair refers to the density of the hair overall, rather than the thickness of the individual hairs. So if you have thick hair, you have a lot of hairs per square inch of head, but it could be fine or coarse.

I'll be honest, the hair looks a bit... damaged.  Are you chemically straightening it, or just using an iron? 

Of course, it could also be from the dying, but I'm not sure that's what's going on.

It was bleached before the color was put in, that that definitely took it's toll. Heat-treating it the following day certainly didn't do it any favor's I'm sure. I think it just needs some time to recover. Otherwise, my hair hadn't been dyed in years, so... yeah. It's not happy hair right now. I'll take pics again when I just toss some mousse or gel in it. It'll look happier then.

Have you considered doing an olive oil treatment (http://www.ehow.com/how_4903334_treat-hair-olive-oil.html) for it? That would do wonders.

(other things that could help: A mayonnaise deep conditioning, or a soak in apple cider vinegar after shampooing/conditioning your hair (no, your hair won't smell like vinegar - the smell rinses out))

I really like the colour, it's neat how far it starts up rather than it just being tips.

I tried to dye my entire hair that shade of blue a while ago but whether my hair is too dark (from being dyed before) or it just wasn't clean enough that day, it didn't take at all. If I looked closely the more blonde parts of my roots went sort of green. Going to let my natural hair colour grow out and try again.
Title: Re: Hair Advice!!! (NOW WITH RULESSS)
Post by: Omega Entity on 09 Oct 2012, 08:51
Thanks for the suggestions! I want to avoid any deep-conditioning stuff for the moment, simply because I'm told that it'll leech the color out. Once it starts fading, I'll likely give it a go. Day 2 without having washed it is making it look not so horribly damaged, since the natural oils are getting back into it.

As for color, I think this stuff is only available in professional salon stores (the kind you need a license to get anything). My friend did it for me, that's in school for it right now, and oh my god, the dye stains things worse than anything I've seen before - the floor of my shower has a distinct blue tint to it right now. There's actually two colors in the hair, a tealy-green and a dark blue, and that's how the gradient was put in.

A lady that came into the store yesterday said that my hair reminds her of a peacock. I'm pretty okay with this  :-D

I've done the blue streaky thing before (professionally), and it does tend to fade to green and then greenish-gray, but most of the fading is still pretty okay.

I want to have a trim this weekend and maybe put more bleached-out streaks in, near the bottom, so that if I get an in-person interview for this job, I'll be able to slam some color in there.
