I think maybe these bangs look very "hey fellow kids" on me. I know the piggy buns probably don't help, I usually have my hair up though anyway. Do these look right?

The side opposite of my nose ring has a horrible cow lick, and it took me a good 30 minutes to get the hair to lay down in the right direction, is there a better way, cause I think I just fried the hair into submission.

I haven't had bangs since I was 5 and I feel pretty insecure about it, even more about my wrinkly forehead...hence the bangs.

*excuse the dumb face

It’s still wet, but it’s a lot brighter than I intended on going. I don’t know how I can make it that more purple/ dark red without going too overboard with the purple. The second is the goal

This is no bleach london’s cherry red

Attatched are the inspo photos I am showing the stylist, the basic gist of the look is that I just want V-bangs (first 2 pictures) and layers/face framing (last picture)

I am not the best with social ques or unspoken rules, but I am aware that most people who get v-bangs typically do them at home by themselves (I don't trust myself to do it). I don't want to jumpscare my stylist with a look that might be a big request, so I just wanted to know if this might be too much to ask?

My current go-to is neon pink iroiro all over, but I'm kinda itching for a switch up! I've added a little red to the ends and let it fade. I've also done rainbow bangs which I LOVED but was too much work to remove! I was thinking purple tips or maybe a racoon tail of purple to switch things up! i love my signature pink though and may want something that will easilly fade or I can chop!

(I got too scissor happy so I'm trying to grow the back lol, i know I'm giving Spock)

I just dont know what im doing besides being reckless with scissors lmao. im a weirdo and like weird styles but would like help finishing or fixing this thing ive made lmao.

hi reddit!! buckle up for this one

i currently have split dye hair (pictures one and two, two being more recent), one half black, the other neon orange/red and i am sick of it. i want to get my hair back to being one color, ideally the purple in slide three.

the issues:

1-i have bleached the orange side 3x using 20vol developer, and i’m scared to do more than one process going forward

2-since i *cant* bleach it more than once maximum i’m not sure how to get both sides to match

3-i want this done before may first…

my current plan:

wash with dandruff shampoo and hot water to get as much orange out before d-day (in around 2-3 weeks)

bleach black side 2x and see where i land

color remove or bleach orange half and see where i land, possible tone?

so my main questions really are:

1- is this feasable?

2-if you were me, would you pretone the orange with blue or green (or at all)?

3- any tips you can give a gorgeous girl with big dreams 🙈

i’m going to try no matter what, because i do miss my old all black hair, so in my eyes worst case is i go back to that for a while lol

I’ve bleached and dyed my hair purple for probably the past 12 or so years, this is the first time I’ve allowed my natural hair color to come out.

Do you think, based on my natural color if these would be possible? Option 2 is my favorite.

I don’t color my hair often, so I definitely don’t know what to ask for. The last time this stylist colored my hair a year ago, she ended up putting baby highlights up to my roots to hide grey hairs. It wasn’t exactly what I wanted, so this time I came with a picture (see third pic) and asked for more of a natural sunkissed look with lighter ends that blend up to my darker roots. I had heard about a root melt or smudge root so asked her about that. She said it wouldn’t work to hide my grays because they would grow in really obviously. I said okay I don’t really mind my grays maybe we can leave my roots natural and just lighten the ends like the example picture. She was really adamant about doing these baby highlights but said they would be super subtle and she would tone the roots darker to give the effect of the picture I showed her. I said okay because I trusted she knew better than me.

My hair looks nothing like the picture I showed her, and I’m feeling really embarrassed. Did I not ask for the right thing? Should she have listened? Does it look terrible? I don’t like the look of stripey highlights at my roots and I feel that’s exactly what I have now. Feeling really sad

okay please don't be mean! this is my first time ever doing my own hair and my sister helped (she also has no idea what she’s doing)

we were going for a brown on top with pink peekaboo highlights underneath. somehow it ended up with the pink underneath on one side and on TOP on the other… don't even ask how that happened lol

we bleached for about ~10 mins before putting the pink on. the brown is a mix of two dyes (one ashy brown + one warmer brown, based on what an employee suggested)

now i’m trying to fix it so the pink side is more brown on top to match the other side, but i feel like it’s gonna be impossible to match the same shade since that section was bleached + has pink in it. plus, i initially mixed the brown with mostly ash and some warm, so i'd have no idea how to mix it to fix this.

does anyone have advice on how to fix this or at least make it look more even?? i’m trying to fix it asap, if it's possible💔 even if it's making the brown side more pink! thank you in advance!!

I love my hairstylist so much!

i have virgin 3a-b curly hair and my coworker and i are gonna dye my hair this tuesday. has anyone had issues with these products either together or separately? i was gonna go with manic panic vampire red but the metallic red intrigued me. i want to get some opinions before i dissolve my hair lol.

Hey y’all! I got my hair done about a month ago (reference the photo of me with the headphones) and then the second photo of me in the blue tank top is me now.

My hair has faded fast. I do wet it every three days and shampoo it once a week. I have two options i can do for a refresh:

-I can use the Artic Fox wrath dye I have sitting at my house to totally refresh the color. I would do this every couple of months possibly.

-Or, I can get a color depositing conditioner in my hair and use that once a week.

What do you guys think? I want to stretch the hair color out without it being a whole lot of maintenance.

I got a perm done on my hair 3 weeks ago. I have fine hair, and my hair tends to react very well to heat and products. I also naturally have Irish curls near my face/ my bang area and some areas in the bottom near my neck. I did extensive research on the process, what I wanted in terms of type of curl, aftercare, products, upkeep, and which salons near me did them and had consistent high reviews.

During the process of her putting the rods in, I noticed she ran out of rods and used another colour. I also noticed that for a bunch of the top sections, she would stop rolling them up flat and would wrap them around like if you were twisting it around if that makes sense. Right after she rinsed the neutralizer out and it began to dry a bit, I noticed it looked a bit wild and uneven. I assumed this was because of the mousse she put in it as my hair gets really crunchy with mousse (she didn’t ask me before applying it, just started putting it in, or I would’ve told her not to use it on me). After she diffused my hair it looked even more wild. I asked her if there was anything she could do to make it look less messy, and she scrunched it and told me to use mousse going forward.

I waited until I could wash it, and hoped that once the mousse was out of my hair it would be better. After washing my hair, I applied my curl cream and plopped it and let it air dry the rest of the way. I realized that the pieces that i thought looked wild and messy, were not curled and were either straight still or just had a light wave. There were some perfect, tight curls and then entire sections that looked almost like I put it on a curling iron for a second and didn’t finish.

I went back to the salon and talked to them about getting me in to fix it. The man at the desk immediately saw my hair and said he noticed how uneven it was and called the owner to get me in to fix it, and I told him to book me in for 2 weeks later at a minimum to give my hair time to recover before trying anything again.

I went back two weeks later and showed her the pieces that were still straight and told her that i wanted the same rod size used on those pieces that she used for the curls that I liked/stayed. She used those on all the pieces I asked for. I did notice though that she wasn’t really checking on my hair and when she put the solution on, I could feel parts of my head that didn’t feel very wet at all, but I obviously wouldn’t know whether or not she actually did soak those rollers or not.

After she rinsed the neutralizer out this time and got me back to the chair, it did initially look slightly curlier than the first time. She did say to me though “it’s still not very curly”. She said that if we needed to do it again we’d need to wait so my hair doesn’t break, which I also agree I can’t do anything else for a while. She insists that the pieces that aren’t curly are because my hair is fine. My question though, is if that was true, why are some sections holding perfectly and others are flat/ straight? If it was because my hair is fine, wouldn’t it be an issue with all of my hair?

My husband called the salon to ask what happened and what can be done to fix it (he paid for it and was upset for me). On the call, she said it was because my hair is fine, and then when he explained that some parts are super tight curls and other parts are straight, she then said it could be the products I’m using on it or that i got it wet too early. She then circled back and said that regardless of how many times she does it, the straight pieces won’t curl because my hair is fine. I have an appointment now to go back into the salon in a few days so she can see it.

So I would like to hear thoughts on whether this is due to my hair being fine or whether this was an issue with the saturation or solution/ stylist’s error and what I should do about this. Thanks in advance for any help/advice! 1st picture is of the first attempt (didn’t take many cause I didn’t feel good with the result) and the rest are pictures of the second attempt, you can tell a bit better where the straight pieces are and the curls that took that I like and wanted.

**To preface before anyone asks, I did not wet it or wash it for 72 hours afterwards and didn’t tie it up, brush it, or put products in it, and slept with a satin bonnet on at night.**

Всем привет! Подскажите, пожалуйста, сработала ли цифровая завивка. На фото 1 референс (что просила), на фото 2 - то что получила после салона, фото 3 - моё "до". У меня славянские волосы. До этого последний раз делала кератин 2.5 года назад. Интересуют рекомендации по уходу и мнения.

Which one do you like better? I have really short hair now and I am waiting for my hair to grow out until I dye it, but I’m trying to decide if I should start dying it when it’s a long short length or a mid long length.

Hello! So I did a dumb thing and box dyed my hair a warmish dark brown last fall with permanent color. That’s pic 1 for reference lol and pic 2 is just before service to show some better root color. I asked for a balayage to break up the color a bit and a toner. I showed the nice hair person my desired look (I like that darker root and my cooler tone much better), that’s pic 3. She said she’d have to place foils otherwise it “wouldn’t work”? but that she could get me closer to this right away, even though my short term goal was just to add a little brightness, esp towards the ends and maybe tone ‘er down a bit. I also specifically said multiple times that I reallllly don’t like a chunky, piecey look. Anyway what ended up happening is instead of just lightening up the ends and adding some small highlights…. We got something else. See pics 4 and 5 for the result. Pic 6 is after washing it once with both purple shampoo and letting purpley blue conditioner sit on it. 6 is why my texture usually looks like for about a day or so before it flattens out quite a bit. When I look in the mirror the yellowy brightness is so much brighter on the top portion of my head than the lengths of my hair which is the opposite of my preferred look.

Again pic 3 was my inspo for pattern. Eventually I would like it to look more like 7-8, which I also showed her for long term goals. There are also some chunks by my face that are darker in the middle than the root and end which is a little odd up close.

I don’t think it’s terrible objectively, but this look is not doing me any favors and in the salon it didn’t seem to look this rough (my hair was also not completely dry when I left and she had to rush to the next client). When I got into more natural light it is more noticeable to me. She was such a sweet lady and I don’t really want to go back there after a week to ask her for help since she looked at it once it was done and said it went great lol she also said my hair will grow out and then it will be closer to pic 3 lol (after I explained we are actually doing our wedding reception this summer)

I want to go to my old salon to fix this.

What would I ask for/do?
