I might try it again next year because I try to let my hair grow out during the winter to keep the back of my neck warm.

Ah, my hair is actually a medium brown but I decided against bleaching it for the same reasons. That's why it came out so dark! But honestly, I really love it. I've added more color since my first post, and it's this really nice, subtle (if you can imagine that!) deep violet. Like it looks black normally but when it catches the light you can actually see the purple.

Gosh, I've probably done every color except green and white. I had an.. interesting teenage phase before finally deciding to go natural for a while. This is the first time I've dyed my hair an unnatural color and cut it radically in probably close to a decade! But I admit it's a lot of fun and luckily I'm in a career that accepts side-shaves and purple streaks, lmao.

I just cut my hair and I hate it and I don't want to leave the house.

The struggle is real and first world over here.

dad June 11th, 2016 7:02 PM

no one ever sees my hair's true form but it's black, kinda poofy and very very curly. i usually always flat iron my hair but i've been wearing it in it's natural state and i'm loving it.

stzy June 13th, 2016 6:48 AM

Usually nappy af but I shaved it a month ago so I could dread it.

Espeonica July 7th, 2016 10:05 PM

I feel like I change my hair color a lot! XD I had brown hair at the beginning of January last year. Then I changed it to red and then blonde and by December I had chocolate brown hair. A few months ago I had blonde/caramel highlights on light brown hair. As of now, I have long hair that reaches my belly button with layers that are of a dark cinnamon red/brown auburn color (:

My hair is short: black with a buzz cut. Nothing much to say aside from that.

Dracowyn July 7th, 2016 10:58 PM

My hair is brown, I usually put hairgel in it so it's pointy. With the gel it looks darker than it actually is, more black.

When I had long hair (I once let it grow for over 4 years and it was about half a meter long), it was really wavy. I also wore it in a ponytail.

Cariad July 12th, 2016 6:25 AM

curly & fluffy mess, extremely thick, currently worn just below my shoulders w/o a fringe. i'm not sure what the colour is exactly, kind of a mix of light brown and dark blonde with some faded blonde highlights; hoping to dye it soon! ideally, i'd like a pixie cut, but with how curly my hair is it won't work out.

That sounds pretty similar to my hair and I completely understand, I'd loveto try a short pixie cut too but I just don't see it being compatible with all the curls and fluff.

Lapis July 12th, 2016 8:27 AM

I prefer to keep my hair at least past my shoulders. I look terrible with short hair. I like dying my hair whenever I can afford to but my color choices are limited because of my work. My hair is very thin and flat which makes me sad because curling my hair takes so much effort and t never lasts long. I also have that weird thing that requires me to shower everyday unless I want greasy hair. Ugh.

aurevesque July 12th, 2016 6:54 PM

I must say that my hair is fantastic. I don't do anything to it, and it looks respectable. Go thick, wavy, Asian hair. I usually shampoo and condition with Fructic Garnier and then switch to cheap hotel shampoo, so I can stretch my money and keep my hair soft.
I let my hair grow out every year before getting 10 inches cut off to donate (and get a free haircut in the process.). And that's literally it.

I wish I could dye it, but I'm 1) too fickle to find a color that I like 2) too cheap to buy dye 3) too dumb to figure out how to dye and 4) too late in life to think of dramatic fashion changes. Job interviews...


Also, someone told me that if you have super oily hair, you can put babypowder in your hairline at night and comb it out the next day.
Also, does anyone do the baking soda once a month to get their hair shiny?

Flower July 12th, 2016 9:12 PM

My hair at the current moment is a dark brown (used to be black, but despite the color stating it was "permanent" it came out within two weeks, boo) with some random red/orange/yellow streaks. Before I dyed my hair a blackish-brown it was red to orange, sadly my hair's not long enough yet for any super cool hairstyles (wanted to do black roots, then red -> orange -> yellow, but I don't have enough hair rip).

My hair is also incredibly weak, mostly due to the fact that I bleached it a little too much and have some split ends, but I'm working on babying it back to health by using coconut oil shampoo/conditioner and mom helped trim an inch off a few days back. I've colored my hair just about every color you can think of, the only thing I haven't done is galaxy hair.

I plan to soon (hopefully for my birthday, 8/11, depending on how my hair is) get my hair done pastel pink, with rainbow pastel tips. Primarily pastel green, blue and purple, but I might try to get pastel yellow and orange in there too. It took me a while to decide what I wanted but that's what I want. * y * I actually can't find any reference pictures of the hairstyle but I'll be sure to take pictures once it's done.

My hair is long, thick, and in the morning can look like a total rats nest. It takes an awful long time in the morning after to my shower to brush it and get it to tame a bit. I should get it cut some, but I feel it is a part of me and every time I seriously think about a haircut I get sad.

I have really oily hair and although I haven't tried baby powder I have tried powder shampoo several times and it honestly doesn't work at all for me. I have to use like a ton of the bottle and it's just more hassle than it's worth for me. It also doesn't really look that good after a few hours.

noa July 13th, 2016 9:44 AM

Ah, my hair has quite a history. Story time! Many of you have seen my hair, I think. It's blonde and down to my shoulders, right? Well in 2011 my trichotillomania (hair pulling disorder) reached a breaking point and I... basically... pulled all my hair out. It was really embarrassing. When I really looked in the mirror I saw how horrible it looked so I basically overcame my disorder with sheer willpower! 5 years later (with some haircuts) it's the length it is now. Because of this, i'm really proud of it and take good care of it. It does have a tendency to get super oily after one day though.

Well, let me know if the powder works! My hairdresser suggested it to my sister as a cheap Asian trick.

What are the benefits of blowdrying your hair after a shower? Even with long hair, I wrapped a towel around it and combed it into a reasonable shape. I don't like the noise or the heat or the power required to do this, but there must be some benefits.

You have dark hair, right? You use the powder the night before? I would use it the day of and while I liked the results, it left my hair looking grey and it was obvious I had used powder. I want to keep this trick, but only if there's a way to use it without looking grey.

My hair doesn't get oily very quickly, but since it's black, it takes on a natural sheen that makes it look oily even when it's not which can be annoying.

As for the blowdrying, I have curly hair so I don't do it because it'll just massively frizz it up. However, it's supposed to be a quicker way to style your hair without having to wait for it to air dry is my understanding.

I've been cutting my own hair since I was 13 - before that my mom used to trim it for me, but I was at that age where I wanted an "edgier" haircut and begged my mom to let me get it professionally cut and dyed - I absolutely hated what they did (I don't know if I just happened to go to a bad salon or I didn't communicate what I wanted clearly), so since then I just refused to go back to a salon and started cutting my hair myself.

It started with just trimming my own bangs, but gradually I got better at it and braver, so I started experimenting with different lengths and layers. I wore my hair pretty long in high school (usually no shorter than mid-back), and I liked short, choppy layers throughout it, but over the years I've grown to prefer more even, gradual layers, mid-length hair over long and grew out my side-swept bangs.

The most recent haircut I gave myself, I actually messed up for the first time in a really long time - it was late that night but I had been wanting a haircut for a while at that point (and I had a few weddings to go to in the days following), so against my better judgement I started cutting my hair at like 12am and got really tired and impatient after a while - started rushing through it and accidentally cut a layer way too short. I spent a lot of the next day trying to find ways to hide it (curling my hair, tying it back, etc.) but came to the conclusion it would just be a lot easier if I cut the rest of my hair short to match that part instead of trying to hide the unevenness. So I chopped the rest of my hair off.

I have literally never had my hair this short since I was maybe 5? Took a few days to get used to, but I have to say I'm pretty proud of myself and it doesn't look too bad - just look a lot younger, imo. :P

Spoiler: Before & After

MadHatter62 July 14th, 2016 5:44 AM

My hair is short, black with a couple of grey strands with a small grey spot on the back of my head that I had since I was born.

I think you're supposed to let it sit through the night and then shower it out. I don't know, I can ask her when I get another hair cut, but she has dark hair too, so whatever she does must work. Well, if your hair isn't oily, I wouldn't recommend it. I have black hair as well, but I don't have problems with an oily sheen. I don't have any suggestions for it, unfortunately!
I have dry hair, so I have the opposite problem. My friend who has extremely coarse hair only uses conditioner and I guess it has worked for her.

Hikamaru July 14th, 2016 10:55 PM

I just got my hair cut again, more of a layered cut while still remaining around the same length as I usually do, and my usual fringe trim. I have a fringe that grows goddamn fast hahahaha

Syndrome July 15th, 2016 9:26 PM

My hair is black, and it's really thick and curly if I don't comb it. It's kinda long for a male I guess, and I have it styled into a blowout fade most of the time. I'm really letting it grow out simply because because haircuts are cheaper when you only need a trim, lol.

Splishy Splashy July 17th, 2016 6:33 PM

My hair is pretty straight forward. It's long(but not too long and unmanageable), it is dark brown, and unless I curl it it is straight as an arrow.

youngster_joey July 19th, 2016 6:56 PM

It needs to be cut, but I'm too lazy to go to the barber. Usually I get the sides cut short and the top medium. When I want to look presentable I spike it up, but usually I just wear a hat.
