{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_1u1pt19", "text": "In attempting to get better definition in my hair, I\u2019ve made my definition worse. I\u2019ve always had a halo but I\u2019ve got every type of frizz on board now (halo, cobwebs, wet, dry, surface). \n\nMy hair was so tangly this morning, I wet it down in shower and used the Trader Joe\u2019s shea butter and coconut oil deep conditioning hair mask. I did some squish to condition and tried to rake with tension. My hair stayed tangly and I couldn\u2019t make clumps.\n\nPhotos:  \nFirst picture is my hair hanging to the side when wet out of the shower. Second picture is my hair flipped over when wet out of the shower.   \nI didn\u2019t like how dry my hair felt and put a smidge of Mielle pomegranate & honey leave in conditioner, and then added a small amount of ag styling cream with praying hands as my hair kept ballooning.  \nThird picture is my hair flipped over when wet 30 minutes out of the shower. Fourth picture is my hair hanging to the side 30 minutes after shower. I tried a new microfiber headband today to replace small clips when air drying.  \nFifth picture is my hair flipped over three hours later when mostly dry. Sixth picture is my hair hanging to the side when mostly dry.   \nSeventh and final picture is a side braid/giving up.\n\nRequests:  \nI think protein products may be a primary culprit, but I\u2019d appreciate help to \u201cuntangle\u201d the issue/confirm. Insight into my hair, the care it needs, and advice on exiting this downward spiral would be especially helpful. \n\nI\u2019d also love suggestions on how to keep learning and experimenting once I\u2019ve stabilized. If your hair is/was similar, have you found a routine that gives you definition lasting two or more days? Or did you decide definition might not be in the cards for this type of hair and/or change your goal?\n\nRecent journey/ impulse purchases:  \nI got a haircut and didn\u2019t see the improvements I usually do in curl definition after losing the hair length/ weight. I was then virtually influenced to try many new products/techniques from a couple of curl stylists and consultants, including:  \n\\- Using hair bonnet diffuser with cool air and short bursts of warm air (gave up after 30 minutes and my hair was still wet)  \n\\- Clarifying with Malibu un do goo and hair mask   \n\\- Styling with bounce brush dupe on soaking hair and damp hair  \n\\- Using product on every section  \n\\- Using protein products like nym bond building curl talk shampoo and conditioner  \n\\- Using only lightweight products like nym anti-frizz aura boost shampoo and nym kids curly care conditioner\n\nContext:   \n\\- Sleep on silk pillowcase  \n\\- Live in hot and humid climate   \n\\- Often have my hair up in invisibobble ponytail because I don\u2019t like it on my face  \n\\- Otherwise my hair is halfway up with a small claw clip  \n\\- Typically wash 1-2 times a week without roots ever becoming oily   \n\\- Strongly prefer to air dry after plopping in a microfiber towel or scrunching with microfiber towel   \n\\- My hair still takes a couple of hours to air dry after  \n\\- Don\u2019t get a cast even when using strong gel  \n\\- No heat tools or hair coloring  \n\\- Rely on wax stick recently to tame halo and get out of the door", "author": "anon_18b7851b", "created_utc": 1781059531, "created_iso": "2026-06-10T02:45:31Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/curlyhair/comments/1u1pt19/help_me_untangle_pls/", "community": "curlyhair", "score": 3, "parent_id": null, "title": "Help me untangle pls", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "invisibobble", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:45:35Z"}

In it's natural state it requires a lot of effort to keep it frizz free, especially in the back (I sleep in satin pillowcase but still). I don't like it much how it looks when it's in this length.

I want to straighten it until it reaches my previous lenght. I know it will take about 2 years. The thing is that I used to straighten it a decade ago in my teens, on a daily basis in the highest heat I could without heat protect ant and it wouldn't grow because the ends kept breaking off.

(Picture for reference when its freshly dried)\nAlso I have to wet and diffuse my lengths in the morning because I can\u2019t make them stay over night. I don\u2019t sleep with a bonnet because i try to live vegan and I have yet to find a good vegan bonnet, any recommendations are welcome (but keep in mind that I\u2019m from Germany)\n\nDoes anyone have any tips for me on how I can resolve the problems?

But I still feel like my curls are a bit limp and lack definition. They're also frizz prone but I think I have that decently under control. \n\nI have essentially \"virgin\" hair since I've never dyed or processed it. Pretty sure I have normal porosity (hair bounces back when stretched) I've considered adding highlights because my hair is so dark that the curls just blend in with each other but I'm not sure I want to start dying my hair. \n\nI'd appreciate any feedback or advice on my current routine (see below) that would result in better definition and longevity.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_1f48y7s", "text": "Hi! Thank you for clicking! I am desperately in need for help with my curls and I hope you can help me and prove me with some advice. I have provided pictures as well. \n\nThe backstory:\nFebruary 2022 I got my first keratin treatment, bc I didnt know how to care for curly hair. I am convinced there was relaxer mixed with it, because my curls never came back. \n\nOctober 2022 I got another keratin treatment, becauze my grow-out was curly and the rest of my hair was straight which made it difficult to style. This is something that I have insanely regretted. \n\nMy hair was SO dry, brittle and kept breaking off. I could not do anything with it. \n\n\nJune 2023 I cut my hair short and July 2023 I got micro-ring 26 inch curly hair extensions. \n\nIt is now more than a year later and I still have the extensions. \n\nAt the salon, I kept getting my own hair cut shorter and shorter to get rid of my straight ends. \n\nNow I have gotten rid of the keratin-treated ends and I finally have my curls back. \n\nHowever, I am facing another major challenge: the top of my hair is very, very damaged. \nI have bought hair scissors from shein and regularly cut off any breakage/split ends I see on the top of my hair. I will add a picture of this breakage as it looks very weird. The entire top of my hair is like this. \n\nThe bottom of my hair looks and feels very healthy, but the top of my hair is such a mess. Even when I style my entire hair, the top is always just a frizzy mess. \n\nMy routine:\nBefore I wash my hair, I grab a spray bottle and wet my hair and apply olaplex n.3 to it (I dont put this on the extension hair). I leave this for 10 minutes and then shower. \nShampoo: redken hair cleansing cream shampoo\nHair mask: difeel rosemary & mint hair mask \nLeave-in conditoner: pureology color fanatic multi-tasking leave-in spray\nI usually apply the leave-in, wait for about 5 minutes and then put my hair in a microfibre hair towel\nStyling creme: aunt jackie\u2019s curl la la creme OR camille rose curl love moisture milk leave-in\n\nThis is usually it on wash day. My hair doesnt really get oily so I don\u2019t wash my hair more frequently than once a week. \n\nI cant really wear my hair loose as it is very obvious where my extensions start, my hair doesnt really blend well with the extensions. So usually I will do a half-up half-down hairstyle and put in a claw clip. Or I will put in a low pony and use an invisibobble for this. When I am in a rush, I sometimes do this while my hair is still wet. I think that that is about once a week. \n\nOn a non-wash day, I will wet my hair and apply the sheamoisture curl enhancing smoothie to it, then finger-coil the top part (leave-out) of my hair. I apply more product to the leave-out of my hair than to the rest of my hair, as I feel it needa to be tamed more. \n\nBefore wash day I will usually put my hair in a low pony. I grab style-x icon aloe vera oil styling gel and mix it with got2b glued water resistant spiking gel and apply this all over the top layer of my head. However, for the past few months I have stopped doing this altogether as I have learnt gel can be quite damaging. \n\nBefore going to bed, I apply Camel Glow hair oil to the ends and put my hair in two braids. I then put on a satin bonnet. \n\nPlease tell me if there is anything in my routine that can be improved. I am a student and my extensions are really expensive to maintain on top of my other costs of living. I would love to just ditch the extensions and continue life with my own hair. I just need it to grow a bit more and be healthier \ud83e\udd79\n\nI also try to be consistent and use rosemary water on my scalp, but for the past few weeks I havent been able to do this unfortunately because school has been a lot (I study aviation). \n\nAny help or tips will be majorly appreciated. \u2764\ufe0f \n\n ", "author": "anon_9b499316", "created_utc": 1724954212, "created_iso": "2024-08-29T17:56:52Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/curlyhair/comments/1f48y7s/help_me_and_my_damaged_curls_please/", "community": "curlyhair", "score": 6, "parent_id": null, "title": "Help me and my damaged curls please!", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "invisibobble", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:45:35Z"}

I am still curious about how much styler (and what one) and how strong of a vast is desirable..\n\nBUT  i (think) i fixed the problem.

Still a tad off, but that might just be the gel..\n\nBut Whew!!!\n\nI TOTALLY looked like a combo of over moisturized yet under moisturized hair. \n\n\nOriginal. \n\n\n\nAll the instructions seem to be written for your average hair.

My hair sticks to my scaly & so the curls wont form. \n\nIt wets and dries quickly, but stylers slide off if I use a towel to 'soak up extras'.\n\nI don't know how much styler i 'Should' be using.  *Help* I probably use 3-4 nickels on my hair & 6 marshmallows of AG Mousse Gel smastered in. \n\n*I assume my hair should be stiff enough if i hold it horizontal that it doesn't droop much?*\n\nMost advice is to use a light foam and to not product your roots with my hair type.\n\nI think as my curls aren't 'locked' well natutally... \n\nThat that is not anything Close to enough hold for my hair.  The clusters i get will fall apart. \n\nIf i have no gel on the roots, my hair is going to be flat \n\nI know that i need a styler without butters & oils that has slip (bye bye the In-Shower-Style CS test kept pushing).  A few have No Slip for me like the aforementioned  & Jessicurls Spiraliscious.\n\nI have MopTop strong hold for curly coily, Ouidad harder hold Climate Control, Hi Definition, my FSG, AG Mousse Gel that i have been reaching for.\n\nI LOVE the Virtue  curl line.

I might finger coil a few pieces & seperate a lot of others.\n\nThen I take a towel or mf gloves an microplop.\n\nThen I take gel in my hand mixed with water for Apply Wet products & either scrunch & pulse or flip-coat-scrunch.\n\nI have to keep that mister bottle going so that things dont dry too fast.\n\nI sometimes section the temples up off and do that last, even after giving the rest a short blast of air to start setting it.\n\nI try not to scrunch diffuse after setting it or i get wonky stuff.\n\nMidway if it doesn't seem like j have enough hold, i smasters some mousse.\n\nWhen dry i sotc (often with the dryer to add volume).\n\nIf my cast broke really badly, i might lightly mist and then double dry (not my favorite for damage, but it does give volume and can set it up a few days. \n\nIf I need hight or setting my bang & crown, i used Boldify powder root lift.  It sort of makes the area grippy so you can keep lift & manipulation. \n\nAt night i put it in two low pigtails with the mini invisibobble.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_ws8sdm", "text": "I hope this helps someone, i really struggled but figured this out a few mos ago \n\nI have really fine pretty low density 2bc3a hair.my curls like to fall apart. \n\nI have been CG about 2.5 years. \n\nMy hair is low porosity, but it would not meet any of the lo-po tests because it is so fine, but it has some of the same problems with  product sliding off. Manes by Mel does a thing on it and the ranking us 1-5.  I had my hair microscoped twice & both agreed. \n\n1)\nFirst, if you can afford it, Virtue shampoo and conditioner. The Curl Whip isn't too heavy. \nI have a post on why i love it.\nEven if you just get the conditioner. 23% thicker hair in one use.  My salon just had the shampoo and conditioner.   It lasted me a year. \n\nIt COMPLETELY changed my hair... I don't just think it is good for fine hair, it is good for All Hair. \n\n(I think i use a different routine, but this is why i love virtue).\nhttps://tinyurl.com/VirtueIsTheBomb\n\nI could barely condition my hair before.\n\n2)\nI use Evolvh Ultra Repair mixed with Curl Rehab.  Those (especially evolvh) dont weigh my hair.  They have enough conditioning that I don't need to follow with a moisture one (that ends up BAD).\n\n3)\nMy hair just isn't dense enough to clump well, unless i want 3 ringlets\n\n4) \nIf i put on all my stylers and brush them through, my curls won't reach max potential.\n\n5) I need a very Hard Hold Gel.  I am liking Mop Top gel for curls (not the custard).\n\nI look for ones that dont have many oils or butters.  I also like Treluxe Hi Definition & My FlaxMax DIY gel.  AG Mousse-Gel can be good to add in during your routine. \n\n\n6)\nIf i try brush styling my hair it just doesn't work out. It breaks up any clumps that are forming.\n\n7)\nEven though my hair is low porosity, it is so fine it dries super fast.  So I keep wetting it with a misting sprayer as i style. \n\nSO,   what i do:\n\nIn the shower with very wet hair i add a small amount of AG Recoil and squish and rake.\nThen i ad a generous pump of HiDefinition and do the same. I like the slip. Sometimes i use my FlaxMax.\n(I do brush or comb those through).\n\nI try to squish out a good bit of the water\n\nI get out of the shower & throw in my night shirt.\n\nI rake through my hair, lifting it up and away from my scalp.  It will start to curl a bit.  If it needs water on the ends, i use it.\n\nAfter doing that, i will lean to one side and then break any clumps bigger than a spaghetti noodle.  If something is wonky, i finger coil it. \n\nI take my towel & dampen it. (Scrunchit makes some gloves that are nice, i use those or a Perfect Hair Towel) then as i lean i gently take sectons of curls and push them towards my head and then Pulse.  I dont go crazy or things will fall appart.\n\nOnce i do this all over (if my hair starts drying too much i mist it) i use a hard hold gel and flip/coat/scrunch.  I mix the gel wih some water because they ar usuall for soaking hair.\n\nIf i use product on soaking hair, the towel will pull  it off & my hair is too wet to absorb any, also the product will keep my curls and waves frim forming well. \n\nI use about 5 nickels total on my shoulder length hair.\n\nThen upright (i dont scrunch upside down except my bangs)  i rearrange or finger coil anything crunked.\n\nI use med-high heat  low air and lean gently collect the hair and direct it to my scalp and dry my hair about 30 sec to lock in the curls.\n\nI do say the top right in a section that is higher & then do the underneath.\n\nOnce i have done my whole head i lean and hover diffuse. I use a spriggle pick to lift my roots as well as the prongs.\n\nAfter that first round, if i diffuser scrunch my hair it gets wonky.\n\nHalf to three quarters of the way through, i see if my hair is casting... if it doesn't feel right  i glaze and scrunch in more gel or mousse.\n\nIf i have dried my hair too much/most of the way & i need to do this i just mist a tiny bit first.\n\nWhen my hair is dry, i use the diffuser while i SOTC. I may get a little frizz, but i get more volume.\n\nI like to use Evolvh Wonder Balm on it. Its is $$ but i am almost 2 years into a bottle and 2/3 is gone.\n\nSOMETIMES my hair has not gotten enough product, or things are wonky. If i mist it a little damp, fix the wonks and scrinch in some product now, i can usually go 4 days without washing or a wet refresh.\n\nAt night.\n\nI tried EVERYTHING i saw and it was all terrible.\n\nNow i use a mini invisabobble and put my hair in two LOW pigtails. I sometimes put in a duckbill clip is anything is going to fall out.\n\nIf my hair was longer i would put in an extra invisibobble lower down as well.\n\nIf i use some had hold hairspray (aussie instant freeze, has alcohol) first and let it dry then i get better reults.\n\nYou can use the spray only and it acts like a hairnet. I also sleep with an eyemask and that helps keep the sides from getting messed up.\n\n90% of mornings, i can just carefully remove the invisabobble and fluff my hair and it looks great.  Sometimes i sweat or simething and it fails.\n\nI also sleep on a silk pillowcase.\n\nI hope this helps. \n\nI might  get a perm to make things easier, my hair does not like to hold the curls and this can be more effort that i remember from when i got perms, thinking i had straight hair.", "author": "anon_916c8365", "created_utc": 1660898473, "created_iso": "2022-08-19T08:41:13Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/curlyhair/comments/ws8sdm/a_few_things_i_have_learned_about_my_fine_low/", "community": "curlyhair", "score": 3, "parent_id": null, "title": "a few things i have learned about my fine low density hair that might help you (including overnight)", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "invisibobble", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:45:35Z"}

So kind of lift the roots and push them forward and then put the duck bill then.\n\nAnd the reason this whole thing works is that it keeps your hair from moving around. The theory with pineappling is that you're keeping your most valuable and visible curls protected and no one is going to see anything that was stretched out underneath. However, if that doesn't work for your hair then I have found that this doesn't keep you from getting volume and it holds your hair together so that it can't be frizzed by your movements.\n\nI think it would work on people with longer hair too.

Its lifespan is much longer than it lacks on its own.\n\nFor the target audience, in fact, it can be used at all ages because the Original version can be used for all hair types, be it thin or thick hair.\n\nI think its price is worth the performance, as this rubber band won't damage my hair as when I tighten my hair, I won't scratch the rubber band on my hair.\n\nI give this review a rating of this product 9/10 points because one more point, I would like it to be sold individually.

I want it to feel less heavy from product, and more lightweight and springy. I feel like it could be as a result of moisture, but also possible too much product/protein(?). I\u2019ve noticed when I use too much of my protein heavy gel it gets angry as all hell, but alas it gives me amazing definition, as shown in the attached photos. Excuse my amazing photography skills. But, I\u2019ve noticed my hair needs more product in it to maintain its curl, otherwise it ends up frizzy by the time I wake up on day 2, and doesn\u2019t bounce back when pulled. Using a ton of product however leaves it looking, well, heavy for lack of better term. It causes my hair to be stiff in some areas and lack the weightlessness I\u2019d really like. Which leads me to a few questions I hope I can have some input on:\n\n\n\u2022I\u2019m almost wondering if a deep conditioning mask would do me any good, given the assumption my hair is dry as all hell. What masks should I look into? I have a feeling my hair doesn\u2019t need A TON of protein, but is fine with smaller amounts of it.\n\n\n\u2022What can I look for that distinguishes protein frizz, from \u2018I need more moisture frizz?\u2019 From reading this subreddit I\u2019ve generally noticed protein frizz is dry, but I\u2019m unsure about the later\n\n\n\u2022if it\u2019s more I should be using less product, what methods might I look into? I\u2019m honestly quite lazy with my routine, and prefer to keep things simple. Would combing in product with a wide tooth comb help with distribution, then scrunching after to help with volume/clumping? Ideally I\u2019d prefer a method that maximizes volume, keeps the good clumps, and doesn\u2019t elongate my curls. \n\nROUTINE:\n\nRepeated weekly\n\n\u2022wet hair under shower head and gently detangle clumps with fingers, trying only to separate.\n\n\u2022once done, apply shea moisture coco and hibiscus shampoo to hair, work into lather in hair and scalp, focusing on massaging scalp to remove any buildup. I normally use a circular motion, with my head flipped to the side, or forward based on the section I\u2019m focusing on\n\n\u2022wash out everything\n\n\u2022gently detangle hair again with fingers, curls having become a bit disorderly after shampooing\n\n\u2022apply conditioner to hand, then smooth over curls, gently massaging locks to distribute conditioner. I regularly use a ton of this due to frequency of washes, but my last shower I ran out, and used I\u2019d say around 3 diluted quarters worth. The method for this is similar to praying hands, but with one hand only\n\n\u2022wash body while I let conditioner sit, this tends to be around 5-10 min\n\n\u2022grab wide tooth comb, comb through hair and detangle properly until comb has minimal hair, and hair feels smooth (no knots when I graze my hand over it)\n\n\u2022wash out conditioner. Then, making sure hair is dipping wet, smooth kinky curly leave in conditioner over curls. This is done similarly to how conditioner was applied, but I focus on the underside, and sides of my hair a bit more than normal\n\nOUT OF SHOWER ROUTINE\n\n\u2022carefully separate/pull apart apart hair chunks with fingers, estimating where my layers are and distributing accordingly. I tend to start at my left side then make my way to the right side of my head when doing this.\n\n\u2022scrunch in kinky curly curling custard, starting at right again and going around to left side of head. For the back of my head I tend to flip my head over and scrunch upwards at the back curls. Flip head up after and flip head to both sides, scrunching in a final amount to hopefully avoid any super frizz areas. I tend to go by whenever my hair feels saturated honestly\n\n\u2022scrunch in eco styler crystal, same method as before but I use around 3 half dollar sized amounts, one for each section of my hair (right, back, left side of head)\n\n\u2022scrunch in a small amount of ouidad vital curl gel/creme. I use around 2-ish quarters worth, same distribution as other gels\n\n\u2022plop for 30 minutes, but last shower I did for around 45~ish I\u2019d say \n\n\u2022take out after, scrunch hair with t-shirt to remove excess product, then diffuse till dry. I tend to tilt my head side to side and sometimes upside own in efforts to increase some root volume.

I thought my hair journey might help someone else with similar hair, so here goes!\n\n[Me today](https://i.redd.it/3l07cq9p9h921.jpg)\n\nImages that show the changes in my hair: [https://imgur.com/gallery/KdynXY2](https://imgur.com/gallery/KdynXY2)\n\nI have incredibly fine, super low porosity 3a-ish hair. My hair is not particularly dry, has moderate frizz, decent shine, and little damage.\n\nWe thought that I had wavy hair as a child, which seemed to curl up abruptly with a bob at age 8, then became 3b/c around age 11, then back to 3a after age 16-- nowadays, I think it's probably been 2c/3a my whole life, but how it was cut and styled made it seem like it was changing.\n\nI've never heat styled it and I've been obsessive and careful about care since I was in elementary school, so it's always been pretty healthy. I used to go through and separate and smooth each individual curl, which gave me fairly tight ringlets, but gave up on that sometime in high school.\n\nFor the longest time I just used small amounts of products designed for African American hair or really dry curls, not realizing that my fine, low porosity hair was probably just getting weighed down. Then I would wrap my hair in a towel overnight, wake up 70-80 percent dry and be on my way.\n\nInitially, I was thrilled by the suddenly flatter, longer appearance of my hair. Eventually I became thoroughly disillusioned with the limp appearance, and starting experimenting with cutting my hair (yes, I do it myself, shame on me lol). Unfortunately the newly shorter layers just emphasized the limpness/flatness of my curls.\n\nEnter CG. I was already basically CG just from years of trying products, but I finally recognized that my hair is low po and shelled out for some new products, as well as started letting my hair dry outside of the binding of a towel and experimenting with different clipping patterns to help give height at the crown. I still have two products I need to cut out, but I've been so afraid to try! Reading this sub has given me strength, so I'll do it this week.\n\nIt's a process, but I think it's getting there!\n\nRoutine:\n\n\\- Wet hair\n\n\\- Comb (carefully)\n\n\\- Coconut oil to the middle and ends of hair\n\n\\- Do all my other shower business\n\n\\- Wash with Ogx nourishing + coconut milk shampoo\n\n\\- (Note that I comb my hair pretty much constantly in the shower to keep away snarls)\n\n\\- Condition with Orlando Pita Argan Gloss Conditioning Treatment and rinse it most of the way out.\n\n\\- Squeeze out excess water\n\n\\- (I don't ever run my fingers through my hair after the final rinse, so as not to disrupt the curl pattern)\n\n\\- Teeny bit of Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie spread through mid and ends of hair (dropping soon)\n\n\\- Kinky-Curly Knot Today throughout hair- Argan oil on the ends\n\n\\- Dove Curl Defining Mousse throughout hair (dropping soon)\n\n\\- squeeze out any excess moisture\n\n\\- Kinky Curly Curling Custard throughout hair\n\n\\- alligator clips at crown to try to give some volume\n\nIf I shower at night I usually just put a towel on my pillow, lay my hair across it, and hope for the best. The other day I tried a pseduo-plopping into a hair twisty towel that worked fairly well, so I'm still experimenting.\n\nI have a medical condition that makes showering kind of dangerous and unpleasant, so I'll often go 4 or more days without taking a real shower under running water, which is obviously a challenge.\n\nI used to twist up and claw clip my hair at night, but felt like that contributed to its flatness. Nowadays I use Scunc\u00ef's invisibobble-like hair ties to pseduo-pineapple it, and it's usually a bit better.\n\nI use Dove refresh + care dry shampoo when my roots get oily, and just work it through with my fingertips.\n\nI've always despaired about the fact that the top and front of my hair gets frizzy and loses all curl definition after the second day, and I'm still working on fixing that. The ends of my curls look good forever, but I've yet to discover either a routine or hairstyle to prevent/hide the textured-in-a-bad-way front and top of my second-day hair.\n\nCurrently I'm trying to avoid touching my hair during the day (I often run my hand through the first few inches to push it back), and avoiding \"smoothing\" with water because it just makes it worse when it dries. It's helped a little.\n\nAny suggestions, comments, questions, critiques, etc are welcome!", "author": "anon_d3d7283c", "created_utc": 1547074885, "created_iso": "2019-01-09T23:01:25Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/curlyhair/comments/aecjha/23_years_of_lessons_learned_about_fine/", "community": "curlyhair", "score": 37, "parent_id": null, "title": "23 years of lessons learned about fine, low-porosity 3-something curls", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "invisibobble", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:45:35Z"}

It is so thin that I can feel my bare scalp whenever I run my fingers through my hair. I almost never use heat on it. I towel dry my hair after showering, and then I let it air dry. I never use any products on my hair unless I use a leave-in conditioner, and I use that ONLY on my ends. \n\nA month ago, I decided to go a more natural route. I was hoping this route would help to control my oil, thicken my hair up, and that it would give it more volume. I switched to natural/organic hair products. I shampoo with Alba Botanica Hawaiian Coconut Shampoo every day/other day. I use diluted Apple Cider Vinegar as my conditioner. I pour some on my head and I rub it in for a few minutes. I rinse really well. I usually put my hair in a ponytail once my hair is done drying. I do this because I can't stand feeling it in my face, and I don't want to play with my hair. Alas, my hair still gets oily again after 12 hours, and it's definitely oily after 24 hours. \n\nWhat am I doing wrong? I am so frustrated because my hair still is greasy, still lacks volume, and I've wasted time and money on trying different products/techniques. It's been a month, and I've noticed zero improvement.

How do I care for it on a tight budget?\n\nThis is my hair in various situations from 2022-2026. I have maintained the same hair routine for years and I feel like my hair looks drastically different from one wash to the next (even if absolutely nothing changed). \n\nMy hair lifts well at the root. The shorter it is the less it curls. Some areas seem to be straight and others aren't. Sometimes it's all straight but curls in or out at the ends, sometimes patches are straight and stick out and others are trying to curl. \n\n In January-March 2022 I went through a period of extreme stress that made my hair shed like crazy and turn grey. The texture changed. It isn't as fine and has more grit to it (which should tell you just how fine it was before) but the blonde returned, just more ash than it used to be. And it went from wavy to.. whatever this is. \n\n**Hair Dye**\n\nMy natural hair color is *very* light ash blonde, and I've dyed it every color of the rainbow and more. For vivids I use Arctic Fox or Lime Crime temporary dyes. The pic where its dark brown with highlights, I used a permanent color from L'Oreal's pro line and lightener, but I generally don't lighten my hair (even the last picture; I put lavender toner on my natural hair in the front.)\n\n**Hair Care Routine**\n\n1. Wash with Prescription Ketoconazole shampoo (I have to use it for seb derm). Rinse. \n\n2. Scrunch in Pacifica Pineapple Curls Curl Defining Conditioner.

The same bar that my curls loved coated her hair within two washes and she was clarifying every few days just to feel clean.

The ethique conditioner bar is genuinely excellent but it's formulated for hair that needs and can absorb rich conditioning agents. Fine hair needs something lighter and the formula gap between something like ethique i am generous and the kitsch rice water bar is significant enough that the wrong choice feels like the whole format doesn't work.\n\n\n\nWe both ended up with bars that suit us, just not the same one.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_1se3r1c", "text": "Hellooo. This is a long post. I've always worn my natural hair but I've been on a mission for definition probably a year now. The problem is I haven't made time for regular washes between more than 1-2 weeks with the excuse of school and life, and mostly wore it in a ponytail by day 3 hair. To go to sleep I have it in a pineapple (I plan on getting on Kitsch satin bonnet soon). My hair is coarse and low porosity. I never do refreshes.\n\nAbout 2 weeks ago when I went to a convention I couldn't fit the wig for my cosplay over my hair, so I straightened it (only done it 2 times before) and tried the OGX Thermal Spray. I coated my hair quite generously, but it turned out that the spray only masked the frying smell until I wet it in the shower and didn't do anything to actually protect it :(\n\nI soon found Abbey Yung's videos and started using Loreal Paris Sulfate Free Clarifying shampoo and Dove Bond Strength serum at least to help with the damage. After two washes this past week it definitely feels a lot better.\n\nRight before the con I trimmed my hair in the shower with regular scissors (horrible, I know, and it was the first time in a year) so I'm not sure if that quickly affected how frizzy my hair looks. But even before this trim or the con, the frizz was apparent on upper front layers and it may have been from varying factors, maybe even sun damage.\n\nMy main goal is to start caring for my hair more often and hopefully find products that help define and repair but don't break the bank. Here's my routine pre and post convention.\n\nPre:\n\n1. OGX Coconut Miracle Oil Shampoo (has Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, which is the same as my clarifying shampoo)\n\n2. OGX Coconut Milk Conditioner (I section and detangle in the shower, but my hair always felt straw like and I found through research that using coconut oil too often can actually dry out the hair. There's also isopropyl alcohol but I'm not as sure of its purpose).\n\n3. African Pride Olive Miracle Leave-in (has good slip, but i'm not sure how much it's actually doing)\n\n4. Shea Moisture Coconut and Hibiscus Gel\n\n5. Hover blow dry on low heat, sometimes shots of high (I don't have a diffuser attachment yet, I'm thinking about the universal one from Rizos curls)\n\nPost:\n\n1. L'oreal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Clarifying Shampoo\n\n2. Dove Bond Strength 10-in-1 serum\n\n3. African Pride Olive Miracle Leave-in\n\n4. I haven't used gel since I'm careful about repairing first\n\n5. I let my hair air dry the 1st wash but hover blow dried on low for the 2nd.\n\nThe pictures you see are from day two of the second wash of the post-con routine. As for products I'm thinking of buying, I'm interested in the rizos curls Leave in and Strong Hold Gel though they're a bit pricier, and Dove Bond Strength shampoo and conditioners. I saw a tip that using oil while hair is still wet seals the cuticle better, so I might try that with my OGX Argan Oil. But let me know if they're not all up to hype.\n\nAnother thing to note is that during the con I ordered the WavyTalk Steamline Pro (marketed with negative ion technology and as \"safer\") and Silk Moisture Coconut Heat Protectant (recommended by my Aunt) to straighten my hair more often if I really can't spare time for a curly routine, but I haven't used it and I'm considering returning it. I really love my natural hair and would rather make more time nurturing it than possibly damaging it more.\n\nThank you all for your advice.", "author": "anon_81b0d2c1", "created_utc": 1775492881, "created_iso": "2026-04-06T16:28:01Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/curlyhair/comments/1se3r1c/looking_for_definition_3_b_to_3_c_hair/", "community": "curlyhair", "score": 2, "parent_id": null, "title": "Looking for definition (3 b to 3 c hair)", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "kitsch", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:49:54Z"}

Currently, I shampoo twice a week and use conditioner every day. This is my routine in the shower: apply shampoo in my hair and use scalp massager. Then I rinse it out and put conditioner, and I leave it for about 2-3 minutes before rinsing it out. When I'm out of the shower, I very lightly dry my hair with a microfiber towel and then put the kitsch heat protectant and styling spray, and use a wide tooth comb to distribute it evenly. Then I blowdry my hair on low speed and warm temp and style as I dry it. I also wear a bonnet to sleep, but I don't have a refresh routine because I don't know how.

i purchased it to use regularly as i tend to put products on my hair (curl cream, hair gel, mousse + hair oil) and i don't want my hair to look greasy or weighed down and i want to get rid of product build up from the get go, but i'm afraid that by using it regularly i might be drying out my hair, causing frizz or damaging it.\n\npardon the frizzy (day 4) hair! i tried to refresh it and did it wrong lmao, it normally doesn't look this frizzy on day 4 but i'm planning on washing tomorrow as i recently purchased a new bonnet (the other one was too big for me... might use that one when i have more hair as i want to grow it out a lot more) and it's getting here tomorrow as well! i'm low porosity, and i believe medium to high density and medium texture.\n\nmy routine (sorry if some of the ingredients are in spanish, i'm not a chemist and idk how to translate the ingredients to english and could only find them in spanish):\n\n* i wait for all my hair to get wet, then i wash my scalp with the *herbal essences anti-frizz lavender & almond oil shampoo* (ingredients on first picture), using only my fingers. i apply most product to the back of my scalp, some to the sides, and then the rest to the front. i then rinse it out, and i repeat this step twice.\n* i put the *herbal essences anti-frizz lavender & almond oil conditioner* on my mids and ends and let it sit there for 5-15 minutes (i'm trying to squish-to-condish and i think i'm doing it right?), i detangle with the conditioner still on using a wet brush, starting from the ends and then moving up towards the roots, after i'm finished with detangling i rinse the conditioner out.\n   * **CONDITIONER INGREDIENTS:** Aqua, Stearyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetyl Alcohol, Parfum, Benzyl Alcohol, Dicetyldimonium Chloride, Disodium Edta, Limonene, Hexyl Cinnamal, Citric Acid, Hydroxycitronellal, Linalool, Citronellol, Benzyl Salicylate, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil, Citral, Lavandula Angustifolia Flower Extract, Benzyl Benzoate, Coumarin, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone.\n* after finishing that, i make sure my hair is pretty wet to add more products. i section my hair and apply curl cream, specifically the *herbal essences defined curls & anti-frizz curl cream*, and after i'm done putting it on my mids and ends (+ the bangs) via raking and using the praying hands method, then i scrunch.\n   * **CURL CREAM INGREDIENTS:** Agua, Dimethicone, Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine, Cetyl Alcohol, Quaternium-18, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Sorbitan Caprylate, Benzyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, Parfum, Peg-2m, Cetearyl Alcohol, Oleyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Citric Acid, Polysorbate 60, Hexyl Cinnamal, Zea Mays Silk Extract, Prunus Serotina Fruit Extract, Orchis Mascula Flower Extract.\n* i section my hair again, and i apply mousse on my roots and ends, scrunching it into my hair. i used the *aqua net perfect curls mousse*, but this next wash way i'm switching it up to the *herbal essences curly hair mousse* as i don't feel like the aqua net mousse makes my hair look as voluminous as i would like it to be... and back when i started on my curly hair journey i used the *herbal essences perfect waves mousse* and i felt like it made my hair look good, so i thought of switching back to their products but this time using one meant for curly hair.\n   * **CURRENT MOUSSE INGREDIENTS:** Aqua, Isobutane, Propane, Polyquaternium-4, Cetet 10, Copol\u00edmero de Octacrilamida / Acrilato / Butilaminoetil Metacrilato, DMDM Hidanto\u00edna, PEG-40 Aceite de Castor Hidrogenado, Dimethicone, Fragancia, Lauret-4, Aminometil Propanol, \u00c1cido c\u00edtrico y Extracto de Cacao Theobroma.\n   * **FUTURE MOUSSE INGREDIENTS:** Aqua, Propane, Butane, Isobutane, Polyquaternium-11, Polyquaternium-4, Phenoxyethanol, Laureth-23, Isoceteth-20, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol, Parfum, Peg/Ppg-18/18 Dimethicone, Limonene, Hexyl Cinnamal.\n* finally, i section for the final time, brush through my hair using an old brush that looks like a denman brush (unsure as to what brush it actually is, but it's pretty much a 9 row denman brush, picture attached as well). after brush styling it, i apply the *xtreme lady gel* using the praying hands method and then scrunching. i'm thinking of switching this up a little and applying the gel before i brush through because it might be easier for me?

Violet 2 (CI 60730), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice.\n* after ALL THAT, i diffuse my hair! i use medium heat and high speed because i just don't have the time to diffuse all my hair... it normally takes me TOO LONG if i diffuse on medium speed so... i hover diffuse my roots while switching up my head position (upside down, sides, leaning back...), then begin hover diffusing my ends and mids after my roots have dried up a little. after my roots are pretty dry i press the diffuser up to my roots and move it in a circular motion slightly to get more volume. when i feel a cast is at least somewhat formed i begin cup diffusing and scrunching my hair slightly. i keep doing that until my hair is all dry.\n* i don't usually break the cast, as i go to sleep with it on. i tie my hair up in a loose pineapple bun and i put on my bonnet (i use the *xl kitsch bonnet* but i'm switching it up to the *yanibest silk bonnet* in size large because the kitsch bonnet is currently too big for my hair).\n* when i wake up i use the *ogx renewing argan oil of morocco extra penetrating oil*, (i used to use the *kerashine silica pretherapy argan treatment*, but i switched two days ago as i felt it didn't do anything to tame the frizz and i had finally run out), i do the prayer hands method through the mids and ends of my hair, and then i fluff out my roots gently using my fingers!\n\ni believe that is everything... i don't usually refresh, as when i try i tend to do it wrong and haven't gotten the hang of how to refresh lmao.", "author": "anon_2cd86cd1", "created_utc": 1769551172, "created_iso": "2026-01-27T21:59:32Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/curlyhair/comments/1qos2uv/is_this_shampoo_considered_clarifying/", "community": "curlyhair", "score": 2, "parent_id": null, "title": "is this shampoo considered clarifying?", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "kitsch", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:49:54Z"}

My scalp had terrible buildup, and my hair always felt weighed down and not so nice. I first started by using the Garnier Honey Treasures line and was amazed! My hair was so shiny, soft, and bouncy again. However, I was still wary of buildup and other issues with using silicones again, so I\u2019d only use it every now and then.\n\nAfter a while I wanted to try and use more natural products again, not because I was struggling with my hair (it was still so nice!), but because I was so attached to CGM. I felt weird about using the \u201cbad\u201d ingredients even though they were working just fine.\n\nAfter focusing on CGM approved products again, I noticed I was having a rough time with my shampoos. My roots would feel extremely stripped. They felt dry and stiff even under the running water. I found this so confusing as I thought I was using \u201cgentle\u201d sulphate free products. (I tried Renpure, Pantene, AG care, Design Me, some Herbal Essences, Kitsch shampoo bars, etc. All sulphate free).\n\nI figured a shampoo with sulphates was only going to make that problem worse as they\u2019re supposedly much more harsh. However, I decided to give Garnier another try, this time with the Honey Water line.\nAnd WOW. The shampoo only contains one sulphate (I think?) and it felt so amazing while I washed my hair. It didn\u2019t feel stripped at all. It felt moisturized! And the lather was amazing too!\n\nCompared to Honey Treasures, the Honey Water conditioner does not contain silicones, yet the slip was the same if not better. It has a lovely thickness to it and felt so nice in my hair. And what\u2019s more, the matching leave in cream has no silicones either! I used all three and my hair feels incredible. Soft, shiny, and bouncy all over again.

I'm 18 now, and since my hair is healthier than it's been in about well over a decade it's desperately trying to curl.\n\n(I've described my current routine below, and I know it's dreadful, but it's mainly due to my skin/scalp being so sensitive that I've been very hesitant to try anything new.)  \n\\- I wet my hair with warm water and use Kitsch \"Ultra Sensitive Shampoo & Body Wash Bar Fragrance Free\" on my roots and wash it out.  \n\\- I use Davines \"MOMO conditioner\" on all but the roots (with my head upside down to prevent it irritating my neck skin), and massage and finger comb it into my hair, before rinsing it out with warm water.  \n\\- I scrunch out as much water as I can for a few minutes and put my hair up in Kitsch bamboo hair towel (and leave it while I wash my body, which I do second to wash any irritating products off my skin).  \n\\- After I come out of the shower (by now the thinnest areas of hair are dry) I apply one pump of Paul Mitchell \"Clear Sensitive Smoothing Serum\" (I warm it up in my hand and scrunch it into my ends).   \n\\- I dry my hair fully with the Shark \"STYLE iQ Ionic Hair Dryer & Styler\" with the concentrator attachment and on the lowest heat setting and highest airflow setting.  \n\\- I usually wash my hair every 3 days, but sometimes leave it a bit longer.  \n\\- I brush my hair with a wooden paddle brush from Aveda a few times a day.  \n\\- The only way I tend to style it is by tying it in a very low and loose ponytails or clip it up with a claw clip and both with a snap clip on either side of my head to get my baby hairs out of my face.  \n\\- I also sleep on a satin pillow case.\n\n  \nAs you can guess, my hair is a frizzy mess. The length, by the way, is a few inches past shoulder length, but I am growing it out.  \nWhenever I've seen my hair air dried it is definitely not straight, and my load of baby hairs remain pretty obviously curly even after being very brushed out and mildly straightened by my hairdryer. I would guess my curl type is 2B to 2C from that, but obviously it would likely be up to 3A when taken care of.   \nI tried my best to figure out my hair density and prorosity and would say they are both medium, but slightly more to the side of high.\n\nAny recommendations are very welcome! I'm really just looking for an entire new routine. For any products, middle to low price range please, and I'm from the UK so affordable delivery here is necessary. If there's any information I've missed that would be useful, just let me know.   \nThank you for just reading this!", "author": "anon_80891687", "created_utc": 1762231206, "created_iso": "2025-11-04T04:40:06Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/curlyhair/comments/1onydwc/please_help_me_finally_find_a_routine_and/", "community": "curlyhair", "score": 2, "parent_id": null, "title": "Please help me finally find a routine and products that work for me!

Also apologies for the essay below but trying to provide all the information I can think of in hopes someone can help!\n\nI\u2019m a 36 year old who has recently had my very long hair cut (pic 4!) and would really really love to learn to wear my hair naturally. I would so incredibly grateful for product advice - I\u2019m lost in the choice of Brigeo, Amika, Colour Wow, Pattern, Adwoa etc. \n\nI still haven\u2019t worked out if I\u2019m a 2b, 2c wavy or even 3a curly as I seem to get a mix of classic corkscrew curls and defined waves (with my top floofy layer being the least ringlety and more soft wavey). In the pics attached (pic 1 and pic 2) I dried lightly with a diffuser but no specific curl products, so I\u2019m hoping with a lot of length off it and the right holy grail products I have a chance of wearing my hair naturally. Pic 3 is the day after.\n\nI\u2019ve also attached two pics from my 20s of my natural hair (pics 7 and 8) - living in New York in summer in horrific humidity seemed to do amazing things for it. I imagine that was mainly youth on my side as I\u2019ve never seen it look as good since!!\n\nComplicating all this is the fact I have a form of muscular dystrophy so can only really wash and style my hair maximum twice a week and don\u2019t have massive energy for a high maintenance routine. At the moment, unless I\u2019ve been hot and sweaty I only need to do my hair once a week as I never get oily. I use my Dyson airbrush with heat protectors and ritual below - which works well though the top layer is always floofy and frizzy even when I hadn\u2019t used heat for years. \n\nMy worry is that if I try and wear curly by day two/three it will just end up a sad frizzy mess.

The strands are very noticeable on my hand.\n- Though my crown is a bit flatter most curls start high up unless being weighed down by length\n- It is DRY DRY - with eternal gratitude to the angel at Sephora who told me to stop using frizz smoothing products and try using rich hydrating products. Using Amika Hydro Rush shampoo, conditioner on my roots, deep conditioning mask every wash and alll the leave in conditioner and oil has been an absolute game changer.\n- It shouldn\u2019t have much damage - I have only just started using the Dyson which I use primer and heat defence with but before that always air dryed. I\u2019ve recently had it dyed with a toner for the first time. However I do dry brush.\n- I can\u2019t work out my porosity as it takes a really long time to air dry and holds styles relatively well but is super frizzy and dry and rarely looks that shiny (especially prone to frizz on top).\n- If I use K18 or a denman brush it really really goes curly when wet but I never know what to do with it\u2026\n\nMy weekly routine which ends up smooth-ish :\n- Olaplex 3 Hair Perfector pre-washing\n- Amika Hydro Rush Intense Moisture Shampoo, Conditioner and 10 min mask (If I\u2019ve used a lot of products start with a detox cleansing shampoo)\n- Satin micro-fibre Kitsch towel to take off excess water\n- Amika The Wizard Primer, Amika Hydro-Rush Leave-In Conditioner and then a small amount of Ouai anti-frizz cr\u00e8me and either K18/Olaplex/Amika Hydro rush oil to style\n- Air-dry 80% and then on low heat use Dyson volume brush to smooth out with Colour Wow X-Large Bombshell Volumizer and if needed a tiny bit of GHD dramatic ending to finish\n- Mid week touch up - if a bit flat then Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo or Amika Volumizing Finishing Spray or a bit dry and frizzy then Colour Wow One Minute Miracle or Dae Cactus Styling Cr\u00e8me \n\n\nAny advice at all on products, easy routines, and lazy/disabled girl hacks of keeping it look half decent are so so appreciated!!!\n", "author": "anon_df5064bd", "created_utc": 1747591283, "created_iso": "2025-05-18T18:01:23Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/curlyhair/comments/1kpq66o/please_help_a_disabled_girl_find_a_lazy_way_of/", "community": "curlyhair", "score": 10, "parent_id": null, "title": "Please help a disabled girl find a lazy way of wearing hair naturally!", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "kitsch", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:49:54Z"}

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_14lerbr", "text": "Hey y'all! My original post is [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/HaircareScience/comments/10febgl/i_have_to_use_heat_tools_am_i_destined_to_have/). A lot of you guys really helped me, and several people said they had the same kind of hair I do, so I wanted to post an update!\n\nI described my hair type in a comment, but here it is again:\n\n>My hair takes FOREVER to dry naturally, and when it does, it's oily at the scalp. And it feels like it never dries completely underneath. If I go to sleep with it wet, even if I pineapple with a t-shirt, it's still damp when I wake up. That being said, when I blow dry it, it gets frizzy. some of that is from the split ends, but it also feels dry. When I had curly-specific haircuts, my hair had more shape, but it was still heavy feeling. And it just doesn't look good. I don't have enough shape to my hair. It actually feels the best when I air dry it after washing it without conditioner. I've spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars trying different products.\n\nSO. I tried a bunch of shit. Spent so much money on products and different tools that were recommended. And I found my holy grails!\n\nFirst, Olaplex. Not just number 3, which I'd tried before, but number 0, number 3, AND number 6. The whole breakage system. So the prep (number 0), the mask (number 3), and after showering (I use TSUBAKI Premium Cool Shampoo and Conditioner, but am going to switch to Olaplex shampoo and conditioner when I run out), the serum/cream (number 6). I've been using this a few times a week (fucking expensive, ughhhh), plus the number 8 like every day, and IT'S ACTUALLY WORKING. My split ends are somehow going away??? I didn't know this was possible, and I am so happy.\n\nSECOND. KITSCH HEATLESS CURLERS. This has been game-changing for me. AND, if you'll remember above, I talked about how long my hair takes to dry? Wellll, if I use Olaplex number 6, and put the top half of my hair up in a claw clip, my hair will actually air dry in a reasonable time (a few hours versus all day+). Then I put my hair in the kitsch curlers, and it will come out smooth and silky and lightly curled at the ends. I'm not joking, even my super curly baby hairs, if I get them in the curlers, will be soft and cooperative. I do put a little gel in my hair before I put my hair in the curlers, and sometimes I hit it with hair spray when they're in the curlers.\n\nI've been trying to use very, very minimal heat. Like only blow drying the roots if I'm in a big rush, and only using the flat iron on a very low setting on a few sections as needed (and not even close to every day).\n\nDoing all this, my hair has actually GROWN for the first time in YEARS. Like over an inch!! I'm thrilled. Thank you to everyone who commented on my first post, especially the girlies who recommended kitsch ( u/pmmeyourdogs1 and u/aavriilll ).\n\nCan't wait to see how long I can grow it \ud83d\udc9c\n\nEdit: accidentally said that I used number 8, not number 6! Changed it.\n\n&#x200B;", "author": "anon_20d16733", "created_utc": 1687971306, "created_iso": "2023-06-28T16:55:06Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/HaircareScience/comments/14lerbr/update_i_have_to_use_heat_tools_am_i_destined_to/", "community": "HaircareScience", "score": 56, "parent_id": null, "title": "UPDATE: I have to use heat tools.

His work swiftly blurs the lines of kitsch and high fashion, questions gendered clothing, and oftentimes asks if clothes can't also be sculpture.\n\nI wanted to make this album not only because I love his work and because it's pride month, but also because here at FFA we have a severe shortage of really \"out there\" fashion.

Because of school, I find I have to attend one black tie event pretty much every week, and my wardrobe is really aching at this point in the year. Traditionally black tie is defined as long gowns for ladies and tuxedos for the guys. What I see, however, is tuxedos on the men usually, or a black suit and black bow tie, but the girls almost never wear anything floor length. the trend seems to be halfway between cocktail and business casual. Often, I wear sheaths with just a touch of bling, but feel my look is too daytime and business for my age (<20). If you ladies have suggestions for cocktail dresses that do not have lace, excess cleavage, overly short skirts, or cutouts, but are in more \"evening\" fabrics like damask and silk satin, I'd love to hear them.

If you're not familiar with her fits, she has kindly compiled an [album for us of her personal favorites here.](http://imgur.com/a/EtDHE)\n\nShe says you can find her on IG [here.](http://instagram.com/properpenny)\n\n-----\n\n**Could you tell us a little about yourself?**     \n\n> I'm a 26 year old (just turned!) born and raised in socal. I started redditing after bf (oops! fiance) introduced me to it a couple years ago. I used to be on all the time, but with my new job, internet time has been greatly limited. Along with fashion, I'm really into dogs/cats, aquariums/ponds, cooking, sewing (though not lately), nail polish, shopping for others, and wedding planning.\n\n**What got you into fashion?**     \n\n> It's kind of funny, I was never really into fashion until recent years. My mom bought all my clothes through highschool (Yikes!) and it wasn't until college that I dropped a bunch of weight and started feeling better about myself, and caring more about what I looked like that I started paying attention to fashion and clothes. One of my best friends started getting into male fashion and after looking at MFA for a while, I discovered FFA.. and thus began my interest in bettering myself and helping others. I've actually gained back the weight (bummer) but kept the self confidence and have just learned to dress my body as is. ac\n\n**How would you describe your style?**     \n\n> The easiest way to describe it might just be \"real-world twee\" I love overly cutesy things.. animal sweaters, animal printed (not animal-print, but actual animals) things, bows, unnecessary buttons and zippers, and just kitsch prints. I realize that at my age, it's getting harder and harder to pull these things off in a non-offensive way, but I think I'm still making it work. The trick is to only have one attention grabbing item on at a time. I wrote the \"[twee guide](http://www.reddit.com/r/femalefashionadvice/comments/1j3tlr/the_dos_and_donts_of_modcloth_and_twee/)\" earlier this year and I do take a lot of inspiration from that kind of style.\n\n**Favorite piece of clothing you own with an animal on it?**      \n\n> Oh gosh... I just have so many. Probably my fox sweater. I have a soft spot for foxes and cats. The fox sweater is probably the thing that jump started my collection, so it will always be a favorite. Threw it on for [this pic](http://i.imgur.com/3WysEfZ.jpg)\n\n**You also made the plus size inspo album, do you have any thoughts or advice about plus size fashion?**     \n\n> [Here](http://www.reddit.com/r/femalefashionadvice/comments/1k197v/plussized_fashion/) is the link if you need it :) My thoughts about plus sized fashion is simply that you can learn to dress your body how ever it is. Almost everyone has features that they want to minimize or enhance. Even when I look at some of my friends and see no flaws whatsoever, they obsess about things they don't like. We are our own harshest critics. I have a soft spot for \"problem bodies\" (\"problem\" as in things you don't like about your body or things that make it slightly more difficult to find clothing that fits correctly off the rack. ok? no reading more into that.) in general because I spent so many years hating the way I look. Fashion, to me, is about expressing yourself in a way that shows the best version of you to the world. The better you're dressed, the better you feel about yourself. If you like what you're wearing,  you'll project more confidence than if you didn't. If I can feel more confident by simply feeling good about my clothes, then why not? If I can help someone else feel good by helping them dress better, I would be so happy.\n\n> My advice for plus-sized fashion (or any \"specialty\" fashion): figure out what it is you're looking to achieve (what silhouette, shape, features you want to minimize or enhance), figure out what styles work best for reaching that, and then stick with what works. This is obviously the safe route, but once you learn what works best for your body, you can branch out into new things in a more deliberate way. \n\n**Any designers or aesthetics you particularly enjoy right now?**     \n\n> I'm getting more into dark looks. One of the outfits I picked was a theme waywt where someone challenged me to do monochromatic black. I feel like it made me look much more grown up and .. sleek? I have always been under the impression that black should be reserved for funerals. I would never wear all black out because I thought there was no personality behind it, but more and more, I'm loving the look. For the most part, the way I do it is still more cute than edgy, but that my own personal style shining through. As for designers, I don't really follow any. Sorry to disappoint, but I'm sure none of you are surprised.\n\n**Where do you see your style going from now?**      \n\n> Since I'm going to be in my late twenties soon, I'm hoping to move away from large animal prints.. dress more professionally at work, work on my silhouette to be less voluminous, and upping my shoe game.

I'll be seeking the advice of FFA once I gather enough to post full outfits here.\n\n**Closing thoughts:** \n\n> Thank you guys for reading my interview :) I really enjoy my time here on FFA, watching the community and our members grow. If you have any questions, or would like for me to help with creating a style similar to mine, or finding specific pieces to work with you body: please feel free to PM me!\n\n----\n\nThanks for reading this!

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_1sl1eho", "text": "Color treated dry hair is a specific problem that most shampoo bar recommendations ignore, the bars people suggest for dry hair are usually oil heavy, which sounds right but makes color treated hair look dull and greasy faster, the opposite of what you want when you're trying to stretch time between salon visits.\n\nWhat dry color treated hair needs is moisture retention, not more oil on top, that means humectants like glycerin that pull moisture into the shaft, and a surfactant base gentle enough to not strip color every wash. Sodium cocoyl isethionate fits that, coconut derived, pH balanced around 5.5, close enough to the hair's natural acid mantle that it cleans without blowing the cuticle open and taking color with it.\n\nI switched to an SCI based bar after my colorist told me sulfates were the main reason my color was fading so fast between appointments. Contrary to what I thought based on all the discussions the bar I'm using from kitsch didn't make my hair more dry. I've been using it for few months now, I think the good effects are due to hydrolyzed rice protein plus glycerin and no synthetic fragrance. After one full color cycle my colorist said the color looked more even than usual at my root touch up, which had never happened before. My ends also stopped feeling like straw two days after washing, which was just something I'd accepted as normal for years.\n\nAlso something worth mentioning about bars for color treated hair specifically is that the absence of silicones matters as much as the formula itself. Silicones in liquid shampoo coat the strand and temporarily make color treated hair look shiny, but they build up over time and make the next color application uneven. No silicones means the color will grab more consistently.", "author": "anon_29dddae3", "created_utc": 1776150907, "created_iso": "2026-04-14T07:15:07Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/longhair/comments/1sl1eho/best_shampoo_bar_for_dry_hair_thats_also_color/", "community": "longhair", "score": 2, "parent_id": null, "title": "best shampoo bar for dry hair that's also color treated", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "kitsch", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:51:10Z"}

Right now, my only hair care is oiling and massaging it every few days with rosemary oil from kitsch and then using shampoo and conditioner from herbal essences and suave, respectively. Besides that, I wash my bangs every day and use mousse and heat to style them. \n\nMy hair is also pretty uneven from going out from a shoulder-length mullet style cut a few years back. I have two chunks of hair that go a bit past my shoulder in the front and then some uneven long bits as well. I cut the ends (about an inch) while wet but kept the shape. Now that it\u2019s dry, I realized my hair looks way worse than I thought. I see a bunch of very tiny split ends in several places that could easily grow.

The Cetaphil is a strong 2nd place due to an obnoxious perfumey scent.\n* Uninspiring samples:   \n\\-Lancome Renergie Lift Multi-Action Ultra, Keys Soulcare Truly Becoming Serum, and Clinique Smart Clinical Repair serums (samples received as gifts with purchase; absolutely nothing interesting about them and a full size of the Lancome is more than EIGHTY AMERICAN DOLLARS)  \n\\-First Aide Beauty Hydrating Eye Cream (samples received as gifts with purchase; doesn't seem more hydrating than their ultra repair cream, which I love).\n\n[Actually a few cosmetics!](https://imgur.com/c2NoPO1) Though some panned through user error.\n\n* L'oreal Paris True Match Hyaluronic Tinted Serum Foundation and Infallible Full Wear Concealer- Hard to find fault with these, just didn't repurchase so I could try other things!  \nMascaras- Not true pans because I use for three months. Tarte Maneater, Maybelline Lash Sensational, and Milani Anti-Gravity Mascara samples were all perfectly fine with no flaking or issues.\n* NYX Micro Point Brow Pencil- Used almost beyond the lifespan of the packaging. I see no reason to pay more for brow pencils than NYX, they more than do the trick.\n* Revlon Colorstay Matte Lite Crayon in Lift Off- Panned through user error (the product fell out of the tube!) but loved during its short life. A really gorgeous matte opaque hot pink.\n* NYX glitter glue- Panned through user error (I lost the cap and it dried up) and already repurchased. Would struggle to try another product with how good this is for $6. \n\n[Miscellany](https://imgur.com/NiJRJRm)\n\n* Hair products:  \n\\-OGX coconut miracle oil conditioner and Raw Sugar Moisture Smoothie Shampoo- Completely fine (but I'm not a haircare person)  \n\\-Kitsch Castor Oil solid shampoo bar and (not pictured) conditioner bar- Both were way too hard to use, but the conditioner bar was at least workable (and repurchased once) when I had large portions of my head shaved or very short. Now that it's no longer the case, it takes 5+ minutes just to apply the product. The shampoo bar also dried up and broke into a million pieces long before it should have been finished.\n* Mineral/baby oil- My go to first cleanser for makeup days until someone convinces me paying tons more would really be better.\n* Heliocare- I may have actually finished a couple of these. Not sure if I'll keep this up during the summer but I have stopped for the winter.\n* Moon Midnight Enamel Care- I like these! They dissolve at night and made a difference. I think I'll keep it up every six months.\n\n[Retinoids and lip moisturizers](https://imgur.com/iYpF6dN)\n\n* \\-Tretinoin (no further comment)\n* NOT PICTURED- La Roche Posay Redermic R Retinol Cream (purchased for containing a higher % of retinol to start building up my neck's tolerance; absolutely horrendous smell made it a challenge to use)\n* Peach & Lilly Retinal For All Renewing Serum (purchased as the next level for my neck; absolutely fine and unscented but have moved onto cheaper retinal-containing products).\n* 3x Lanolips (one light pink/unscented not pictured) (always repurchase to keep perioral eczema at bay)\n* 6x Jack Black SPF 25 lip balm (my favorite for daytime use; managed to make it through one peppermint but found it too irritating, the other ones cause no issues).\n* A sneaky hair product that got captured in the wrong group! Living Proof Perfect Hair Day dry shampoo sample's bizarre and obnoxious scent made it a chore to use. \n\n[Sunscreen 1](https://imgur.com/NyAXaG2) (Body sunscreens)\n\n* Banana Boat Light as Air (will always repurchase and use on face as well for exercise)\n* Kroger Sunscreen Invisible Gel (aka the Supergoop dupe; probably used this up on my hands/neck; this was my preferred facial sunscreen in 2022 but now have things I like better)\n* Neutrogena Beach Defense (great product, even decent on the face, and would repurchase for full-body application if my fave was not available) \n* Sun Bum SPF 50 (fine but too sticky/greasy if there are other options).\n\n[Sunscreen 2](https://imgur.com/vtrJU2C) (Asian and one Australian sunscreen I did not like)\n\n* MISSHA All-around Safe Block Essense Sun Milk EX (not enough PA protection, RIDICULOUS heavy packaging, and reapplied weird; used up on hands/neck)\n* Soon Jung Director's Moisture Sun Cream (used up on hands/neck; reapplied weird)\n* Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Natural Sun Cream (really surprised about the following for this one! Stickier, greasier, and harder to rub in than any random American sunscreen)\n* Naked Sundays Clear Glow Radiant Sun Serum (just didnt like... blend in? Even though it was clear? My friend who graciously brought this back for me from the homeland said it worked for her much better with more humidity over there. Used up on face/hands). \n\n[Sunscreen 3](https://imgur.com/pbto9v5) (Asian sunscreens I liked)\n\n* P. Calm Water Barrier Sun Cream\n* Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics\n* SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum\n* Purito Daily Soft Touch Sunscreen\n* (honorary pan- expected in <2 weeks) Jumiso Awe-Sun Airy-Fit Daily Moisturizer with sunscreen\n\nAll these absorbed into the skin and added moisture with a natural flat to slightly glowing level of shine, with good wear under makeup and reasonable reapply over makeup. BoJ and SKIN1004 are on the thinner side, and the others are a bit thicker (by AB standards) but I enjoy it because my preferred sensation from moisturizer is \"leaves me feeling encased in plastic to trap all the moisture inside.\"\n\n[Toner and vitamin C](https://imgur.com/rw3Ge54)\n\n* Toners:  \n\\-Ultra Repair Wild Oat Hydrating Toner- Loved it but ventured elsewhere due to the price  \n\\-CeraVe Hydrating Toner- Has dethroned FAB for half the price. Works well as a first layer under your moisturizer (or retinoid) to significantly increase overall hydration.\n* Vitamin C:  \n\\-Timeless Vitamin C, E, and Ferulic Acid in 10% and 20% (now using the 20% everywhere but my neck and very happy with it)  \n\\-First Aid Beauty 10% Vitamin C Brightening Serum (completely fine for use on my neck with no irritation, just $$)  \n\\-NOT PICTURED- Roc Vitamin C Brightening Serum (completely fine and not irritating, though the dropper did just like... break off? Wanted something even less $$)  \n\\- PROVENCE Beauty Glow Up Luminescent Facial Serum (the cheapest so far, doesn't require a dropper, and non-irritating; will use this on my neck until I can fully switch to the somewhat irritating Timeless). \n\n[Moisturizers](https://imgur.com/mbtY2oC)\n\n* Will continually repurchase CeraVe moisturizing cream (as my light moisturizer) and First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream, unscented (as my heavy moisturizers).\n* Eucerin Eczema Relief was great as a thick body moisturizer, would definitely repurchase on a sale.\n* Four completely meh samples:  \n\\-The least meh: Eczema Honey Oatmeal Body Lotion was unusably thick in this sample bottle and indistinguishable from any other thick moisturizer.  \n\\-Avene Tolerance Control Soothing Skin Recovery Cream: Seemed fine but too thin. I got no extra soothing out of it than any of my oatmeal-containing lotions.  \n\\-La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer: Too thin!  \n\\-The most meh: Drunk Elephant Lala Retro Whipped Cream: I was really looking forward to this one since the overall vibe was rich and thick enough to seal the moisture in for ages. It smelled awful and didn't absorb. This is over 5x the (regular) price of my FAB moisturizer.

Would love suggestions about other products!\n\n**Makeup**\n\n* NYX HD finishing powder sample (panned through damage) Worked fine but will probably try other things before repurchasing.\n* (Not technically a pan, I toss mascaras after 3 months because of sanitation concerns) Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara sample - WNRP, flaked horribly after a few hours\n* (Not technically a pan, I used for a month or two and simply couldn't deal with this product) ABH Lash Brag volumizing mascara - WNRP, flaked horribly almost instantly, to an unusable degree\n* Smashbox illuminating primer sample - WNRP, didn't seem to get much out of it but it didn't cause any problems\n\n**Skincare**\n\n* Shishiedo Benefiance eye cream and Lancome Genefique Yeux eye cream samples - WNRP, did not show demonstrably different effects from any other thick occlusive eye cream\n* The Ordinary Multi-Purpose Lash and Peptide Serum - WNRP, this is my third and fourth tube. Did not see any benefits and the ingredients can be irritating to the eyes.\n* Sunday Riley CEO Afterflow - WNRP, but very interesting product. It feels lovely to put on and smells heavenly. It ALSO leaves a slight yellow cast that would make me nervous to put it on my face (I used it up on my chest). \n* Kylie Vitamin C serum - WNRP, but not a bad choice for a shelf-stable form of Vitamin C. Only weird thing is it really does smell like hot dogs upon application (it fades).\n* Byoma Gel Cleanser - WNRP, doesn't seem to provide any benefits compared to my old standby (Cerave hydrating)\n* Kitsch solid conditioner coconut bar - WRP (unless I see something else I want to try). Works very well though I think if I had longer hair I'd find the effort of getting it worked through annoying.\n* Timeless 10% vitamin c - WRP, but I'm working up to using this on my face and neck every day so I alternate with FAB (below). It's a bit irritating.\n* FAB 10% Vitamin C Brightening Serum - WRP until I can stand to use the Timeless from forehead to nipples.\n* Osea Undaria Algae Body Butter Sample - WNRP, completely unremarkable for the price. Like absolutely any cheap body butter seems to work this well. \n* Truly Nice Melons Whipped Body Butter Sample - WNRP, fun but it didn't seem as useful to me as other products (maybe I'm not a body butter person??)\n* FAB Ultra Repair Cream Jumbo x2 - WRP (but open to trying other products at a similar price point that are so devastatingly rich)\n* Tretinoin 0.05% - My first tube! WRP\n* Lanolips 101 Strawberry Ointment - WRP (apparently if I don't put this on at night my lips will shrivel up and fall off)\n* Jack Black SPF 25 lip balm - WRP (keeps me hydrated during the day, love the texture)\n* Aquahpor tiny tub - WRP\n* CeraVe hydrating facial cleanser - WRP but open to trying something at a similar price point (I'm not shelling out big bucks for fancy cleanser)\n* FAB Ultra Repair Wild Oat Hydrating Toner x2 - WRP but open to trying something else at a similar price point. Definitely increases how hydrated I feel as a first layer before a moisturizer\n* Olay Retinol + Peptide 24H (unscented) - Would repurchase but I moved on to a higher concentration of retinol. This is a very rich moisturizer that left a slightly greasy feel but that was fine for me.\n* Neutrogena Beach Defense SPF 70 - A good body/going out sunscreen. Would repurchase but am trying other things (I am working through a second bottle currently and ordered something else to try after). I like this texture, I like how it dries, I actually like the scent. \n* Neutrogena Clear Face SPF 50 - WNRP, the good reviews about how well this blended in and dried down made me wonder if the people had never used other sunscreen before. Hard to blend in and left a shiny, oily cast.\n* Neutrogena Ultra Sheer SPF 30 - WNRP because there's other facial sunscreens I like better, but if I had oiler skin this line would be my drugstore go to.\n* Neutrogena Hydro Boost SPF 50 - WNRP because there are cheaper body sunscreens I like just as well and the alcohol irritates my face and neck. That said, it's worth trying for the gel texture and feels very nice on before the irritation sets in.\n* Aveeno Protect + Hydrate SPF 60 - WNRP but it's not an awful product! A bit too wet/shiny on for my taste. \n* Kroger Invisible Gel Sunscreen SPF 40 x3 - WRP for use when travelling as a water resistant facial sunscreen, even though I am on an AB sunscreen journey right now. \n* Soon Jung Director's Moisture Cream - WNRP because it goes on great once but then gets weird reapplying. Using up my second bottle on my hands currently.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_exyg4t", "text": "So, I just found this group. I have read through the material suggested and have not really found anything about my question. \n\nI'll start with I'm hispanic. For three generations, my family dyed, straightened and bleached away our curls from a young age in an attempt to pass as white. To the point that I didnt know I had curls at all, because my hair was so damaged from such a young age and any time it would start to curl my mom would tell me to go brush it out. What I got as a result was a huge frizzy messy poof that only 'looked good' for about three hours after it was dyed. \n\nI finally chose to stop dying and bleaching my hair, which I'd done about every two months since I was 7, about a year ago. Almost immediately, my hair tried to wave and curl. \n\nI did research and have been following the curly girl method for about 6 months. I was blown away, even the damaged parts were slowly curling! And that gave me the resolve to do what before had been unthinkable. I cut off the foot and a half of damaged hair to give myself a clean natural starting point. \n\nBut...it feels like something went wrong. My hair is now pretty short and all my healthy hair. But the cut itself  looks horrible. Like someone took a weed wacker to my head and chopped at it with a machete to release me! And now, my hair isnt curling. I can see where its trying to and its sticking out in awkward directions where it used fo curl. She might have also tried to do an imitation razer cut from what I can tell. \n\nIs going through an awkward 'it wont curl right until grown' stage something I should have been prepared for?

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_1tkoi7t", "text": "My hair is curly/wavy. Some days it's extra curly, most days it's like this. The ends of my hair will curl into ringlets, while the top looks like a mess. It doesn't matter if I put something in my hair or not. Creams and gel are too heavy for my hair, in any amount. It'll completely destroy the natural shape of my hair. I've had some luck with mousse, but while it keeps the frizz away and kinda locks the shape in, it doesn't actually help any in forming the curl. I had considered that maybe my hair just has multiple patterns, but I've seen the same chunks of hair form curls before, and it does it in the shower too, or while I'm in a high humidity area like the beach (I rarely go, so it's not damage from the water). At the moment the air in my town is quite dry, so my hair is lacking in moisture, but it \\*always\\* looks like this, just less frizzy. My hair naturally forms clumps of curls or waves, but I can't just twist them because most of those clumps switch patterns halfway down the length of the hair, and it's nearly impossible to figure out when wet. \n\nI wouldn't say I have a \"routine\" but I don't use heat but will sometimes use a diffuser, I use a light leave in, i use a clarifying shampoo about once a month, and I wash my hair every 3 days (any more and it dries out, any less and it's too oily) at the moment I just use v & co wave babe AND maui moisture and switch between the two because I've had the best results in that. I've tried a number of different highly recommended brands that are either too heavy for my hair, or increase the amount of oiliness. I use the v & co mousse as it's not too heavy and isn't overwhelming in the scent. I use argon oil on the underside of my hair because it tangles really easily there and use the leftover on the rest of the hair. I also use olaplex n6 once a week which really helps with frizz and smoothness. I don't usually overlap products though. One leave in or oil and the mousse, or leave in and nothing at all. I don't get particularly good results with the diffuser; hover, pixie, or, which I get the nicest results from, when I take the comb part out of the diffuser and just use the little bowl. I sleep on a silk pillow case, never wet, and usually just let hair air dry. I don't brush after washing, I have a wide tooth comb.

(23F)\n\ni have fine, low density, inconsistently curly, frizzy, dry high porosity hair. im now going to just list out all my complaints  lol:\n\na) it curls differently every time i style it\u2026 no matter if i follow the same routine. sometimes i get cute fluffy curls, other times i get flat tight curls, or half straight/half curl, etc etc. \n\nb) it dries so fast. like i put it loosely in a soft tshirt after i shower for more than 2 minutes and it\u2019s completely dry on the ends. or if i don\u2019t put a towel on it and wait two minutes with my hair hanging wet, the roots are completely dry.\n\nc) it\u2019s so prone to breakage. i have so many split ends and my hair is a different length everywhere. i did a big chop in 2023 for healthiness and it wasn\u2019t as rewarding now that it\u2019s grown back lol. but i cut my split ends like every week at work in small sections to keep it healthy. i also get trims every 2-3 months. should i go sooner??? its $60 + tip yall im broke\n\nd) my hair falls out easily it feels like (you\u2019ll see why im not sure if u keep reading to the next section). i feel like ive been trying to grow it back from the scalp for years and its just getting worse or staying the same idek anymore. i do see a lot of baby hairs growing at the scalp but not nearly as many as i feel i should be after all this time :/\n\ne) even when i do put heat in my hair it just looks frizzy or doesn\u2019t hold well. i know some of the frizz is because my hair is diff lengths all over because of all the breakage and regrowth.\n\nf) a lot of my ends feel blunt idk if that means anything. there\u2019s also a lot of ends that are flimsy soft. also a lot of random coarse \\~\\~\\~\\~\\~ type hairs u know???\n\ng) the top layer of hair (from the crown and top of my scalp), is super thin and short and mostly straight but the middle is very curly and less fine. the underneath at the back just only curls at the end. \n\nh) hair gets greasy easily if i use too much product \n\ni) scalp can be very dry and flakey but the flakes but stick to my scalp unless i hit my head upside down. i use nizoral shampoo in replacement of ouai when this happens!\n\nOKAY IM SORRY IM LONG WINDED BUT PLS I NEED ADVICE \ud83d\ude2d\n\nhere\u2019s also things that are barriers and have affected my hair health (i struggle a lot with mental health but pls im still funny and cool and awesome i just have a LOT of sparkle yk)\n\na) i struggled with trichotillomania for yeaaars like pulling probably hundreds of pieces of hair out individually (not in chunks) every day. and i still engage in the behavior slightly\u2026 but only like a couple hairs here and there. im working really hard to overcome it so pls dont advise me to stop because i know and im doing so!! trying my hardest!\n\nb) i am in recovery for anorexia but i struggled with it for just as long as i did the trich. getting in protein is really hard for me because i also have arfid (im telling u guys god rly nerfed me lol). so i assume that effects my hair health as well at least in some regard.\n\nc) i definitely have a good amount of heat damage because i used to rely on heat to feel good about my hair. i would always use heat protectant and serum.. but still not great. i have made it a point to stop using heat and embrace the curl. i\u2019m doing okay, i have only used heat 3 times so far this year which i know is lowkey a lot but im interviewing for grad school so i can\u2019t have my hair be frizzy LOL\n\nd) i have POTS so blood tends to pool in my feet and not go to my extremities or my head?? not too sure how brain flow to POTS patients compares to that of regular people lol. but im sure there is correlation.\n\ne) one thing i know ISNT wrong is my thyroid because i get my blood work tested all the time cause i have chronic illnesses. lmk if anyone wants to know my results idk if its helpful. is that weird to offer \ud83d\ude2d\n\nf) i have this compulsive need to play with my hair like twirl it/run strands between my fingers. i\u2019ve done it my entire life like there are pictures of me at 2 years old doing it. i just take strands of here and run them between my pointer and middle finger lol. not sure if that affects my hair health but prob \n\nOKAY LAST PART. pls if ur still reading im almost done JUST GIVE ME A CHANCE IM DESPERATE LOL \n\nhere is my current routine / things ive tried:\n\ni wash my hair every 4ish days, almost always double cleanse, and i cycle these 3 routines:\n\nWASH A:\n\n\\- ouai detox shampoo & davines energizing shampoo\n\n\\- k18 (after shower)\n\nWASH B:\n\n\\- redken extreme length & loreal elvive hyaluronic plump shampoo \n\n\\- davines nounou conditioner (leave in for 5ish min)\n\nWASH C:\n\n\\- davines energizing shampoo & loreal elvive hylauronic plump shampoo\n\n\\- davines nounou conditioner\n\nPOST SHOWER:\n\n\\- not your mothers curl talk leave in conditioner\n\n\\- devacurl wavytalk curl cream\n\n\\- goldwell just smooth serum\n\n\\*\\* sometimes i also use itsa10 gloss leave in spray\n\nDAILY:\n\n\\- i typically spray my hair wet every morning with water w/ a couple drops of peppermint essential oil in the spray bottle, use my bounce curl brush, and use devacurl wavy talk to restore my curl. \n\n\\- i use goldwell just smooth everyday\n\n\\- on wash day, i will wear my hair in a loose slick back using softee castor oil conditioner \n\n\\- once a week i use amika dream routine overnight hydration mask & ouai scalp serum\n\n\\- i tie my hair back or wear it in braids at night \n\nTHINGS IVE TRIED:\n\n\\- minoxidil serum & foam: is this fr my only/best option???

I used the season 5 nancy wheeler haircut as a reference for my most recent salon visit if that helps lol. \n\nOn days that I wash my hair, it usually comes out fine, no major complaints. But the next day, my hair is a mess. It is frizzy, the curls are a mix of totally straight and pitiful waves, my bangs look awful and flat, and it looks and feels greasy. My bangs and the length of my hair are usually clearly two separated chunks as well. It looks just awful. One day later! In the past couple weeks, I\u2019ve tried shampooing my hair on that second day, and that's kind of hit or miss. In the past it hasn't worked, but lately I've been getting more success from it. I have no idea why as I haven't changed anything lol but that's just the way it goes with my hair. \n\nMy concern now is that I am really close to getting a new job that would require a long commute three days of the week, meaning I won't have much time in the morning to wash my hair. I would like to switch to washing my hair in the evening, but I have yet to find a successful way to arrange my hair while I sleep without it coming out like I described earlier.\n\nI've tried a silk bonnet, which keeps it smooth but flattens the curls, I've tried the pineapple method, which doesn't do well with my layers, and I think it contributes toward straightening out the length of my curls by pulling them, and I've tried the bonnet and the pineapple combined. Nothing works. \n\nHere\u2019s my wash routine:\u00a0\n\nEvery other day, I shampoo and condition my hair with Cant\u00f9 brand shampoo and conditioner, and comb my hair in the shower after I condition. After getting out of the shower, I comb my hair again, then use Cant\u00f9 brand mousse, and scrunch it into my hair w head upside down. I plop dry w a t shirt for usually thirty minutes or longer, as I\u2019ve found the longer I plop the better it comes out. After unplopping, I have to let it sit and air dry for a little bit before I use a diffuser, scrunching it up with my head upside down. Usually this process is fine.\n\nI don't have any styling products that I can use outside of the shower. I had a gel that I used but I found it to just weigh my hair down more. \n\nAny tips would be greatly appreciated! I am new to learning how to handle my curly hair and I am sick of looking like a rat that got dragged through the gutter every other day of the week. Thank you !!

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_1qxv9df", "text": "Or does anybody have a secret tip that gets them to listen without just being a rude and scary customer? I've tried so many hairdressers in my city, price points anywhere between 20 and 120\u20ac per cut, and none of them seem to listen to a single word I say.\n\n\"Would it be possible to cut my hair while it's dry? It really is a lot easier to get an even cut this way.\" \"That's not how it's done, cutting wet hair is always easier!\" Okay then. I stopped trying to convince them because not a single one ever listened, not even the ones who have cut my hair before and know how long it takes to fix the unevenness they create with a wet cut.\n\n\"I want a slightly longer pixie like in this photo, so my hair should cover my ears. My curls pull up a lot when drying, so since you're cutting them wet, they need to go slightly past my chin - right where I am pointing now.\" \"Got it! \\^\\_\\^\" and the very next second I feel how they cut my hair directly at earlobe level. I will clasp my wet hair between two fingers to pull it as straight as they do with the comb, and then use my other hand to point at the exact place where the scissors or the blade would need to go, but they still always manage to miss it by at least 3 cm. Do they forget? Or do they just ignore me because they think they know better? Even though simple geometry says that to connect points A and B, a curved line needs to be longer than a straight line? Telling them that I want a bob when I actually want a pixie doesn't work because while it fixes the length problem, the general shapes of these cuts are too different.\n\n\"Do you see those two spots where my hair is a lot more curly than anywhere else? These need to be left a bit longer. If everything is cut to the same length when wet, I will basically have two large missing chunks in my lengths when dry.\" \"Okay, if you say so!\" And a few minutes afterwards, when I notice that they get close to one of the spots, I repeat \"that's one of the really curly strands I pointed out earlier, so that one should be left longer.\" And they say \"yup I remember \\^\\_\\^\" and still cut it to the exact same wet-length as everything else.\n\nI already gave up on \"could you hold the hair dryer in one place when diffusing? It breaks up the strands and gives me frizz when you kind of comb my hair with the diffuser nozzles like you're doing right now\" (\"okay!\" \\*keeps combing\\*), or \"can we use a spray bottle to get the hair a bit wet again after cutting? It helps with getting the combed hair back into structured strands\" (\"no, they will tangle if they get wet after combing!\"). I just ask them if I could diffuse them myself and I carry my own spray bottle. So that's an easy communication issue to avoid. But the other stuff is a lot harder. \n\nHow do I get them to listen? Does anyone have tips? Do I just need to be, like, really really assertive? Or interrupt them at every single strand to ask \"can you show me where you're planning to cut? No, a bit deeper, please\"? I hate being a Stressful Customer :( so if anybody has tips that don't involve me becoming rude and annoying as fuck, please let me know?\n\n(The sub wants my routine to let me post, I just cowash and style with the Balea Oil Repair line from a drugstore chain in my country, really happy with how that turns out, the hairdressers are the only challenge I have left in my hair journey lmao)", "author": "anon_3d703886", "created_utc": 1770415085, "created_iso": "2026-02-06T21:58:05Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/curlyhair/comments/1qxv9df/is_anyone_else_beyond_fed_up_with_hairdressers/", "community": "curlyhair", "score": 86, "parent_id": null, "title": "Is anyone else beyond fed up with hairdressers never ever listening?", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "chunks", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:53:41Z"}

I need some help identifying a good routine for my type 3A curls.\n\nUp until 2-3 years ago I had an extremely simple routine that worked perfectly for me. I washed my hair every 7-10 days with Whole Foods 365 shampoo and added some curl cream and/or gel afterwards if I wanted specific definition or hold that week. My curls were very healthy, pretty defined, and had limited frizz even without the curl cream or gel - they were totally optional. This routine worked for 5+ years for me.\n\nThen, Whole Foods changed their formula. Since then, I have not been able to find a routine that works for me for the life of me. For a long time, I thought maybe my hair texture just changed, but occasionally when the right random combinations of factors align, I see my curls come back. After washing my hair these days, my curls are limp and stringy. I first tried adding protein and saw almost no change. Then I tried adding moisture which gave me type 2B hair for 1 day, and then just became silky sheen wavy hair like that in a Pantene commercial. Then I tried cowashing, which brought me to 2C hair for exactly 1 day after washing. I have tried a few shampoos for chunks of time (including all 3 variations that came from the 365 reformulation and Shea Moisture) and none have really done it for me. \n\nI am really at my wits end these days. I just want my curls back and normal. I would love some advice on what shampoos you guys are using, especially if you used the Whole Foods 365 shampoo before they reformulated it. I attached a picture of its ingredients.\n\nThank you!!!", "author": "anon_6e68e19c", "created_utc": 1760207835, "created_iso": "2025-10-11T18:37:15Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/curlyhair/comments/1o436nd/need_help_finding_shampoo/", "community": "curlyhair", "score": 1, "parent_id": null, "title": "Need Help Finding Shampoo", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "chunks", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:53:41Z"}

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_1noirlx", "text": "Heyyy! So my whole life I thought I had pin straight hair, but then I saw a lot of people talking about how actually straight hair will still look straight when it gets wet, and mine definitely does not, plus my ends ALWAYS curl out a little. That said, it loses the rest of the curly/wavy pattern very quickly. The first picture is what it looks like right out of the shower (around 11am) after towel drying it. Second is one hour later. The third is 7 hours out of the shower, and roughly 4 hours being completely dry. I slept for 1.5hrs (long story) on a cotton & polyester pillow that night, and the fourth picture is what it looked like after I woke up. Most of the pictures are from the side to get the best view of any patterns, but I also included a front-facing picture from that morning just in case it might help. The last picture is the day after that, with a full 5 hours of sleep on the same pillow. My \"tails\" (the small chunks right in front of my ears) always seem to hold a wavy pattern the longest, usually until my next wash day or the day before.\n\nPattern: unsure\nTexture: medium-fine\nDensity: Not thick, but not thin. Kinda in the middle. (It looks thinner right now because I shaved everything except the top and \"tails\" and cut noticable layers in the top the last time I dyed it.)\nPorosity: It takes about 3 minutes under running water to get fully wet, and takes roughly 2-3 hours to air dry fully, so I'm not sure what that says about my porosity. \n\nHair History: I have colored my hair with box dyes 4 times and professional colors twice, but I only used bleach 3 of those times. My most recent coloring was box bleach and dye about 2-3 months ago. I've only used heat to style my hair twice in my life and that was to try to curl it, but it took almost half a can of hair spray to get it to hold for more than 1-2 hours. I will admit I also tend to twirl and \"tie\" my hair as a stim, which I've been trying to stop doing, but a lot of the time I do it without even noticing. \n\nCurrent hair routine:\nI only wet and wash my hair twice a week on Monday and Friday. When I wash it more frequently it gets extremely dry and I end up with wayyy more shedding and breakage.\n1. Scalp wash with Pantene Daily Moisture Renewal Shampoo\n2. Pantene Daily Moisture Renewal Conditioner on the lengths of my hair and combed thru with my fingers. I let this sit while I wash my body then I rinse it out and leave just a little bit of conditioner in my hair. \n3. Squeeze out most of the excess water then towel dry while scrunching. I avoid rubbing the towel because I've heard it's bad for any hair.\n4. I let it air dry and try not to touch it at all, but sometimes I'll start twirling it by accident.\n\nI don't brush or comb my hair, and haven't in probably close to 6 months. If I get some tangles I just run my fingers through to break up the knots. I also don't use any products outside of what's listed except some dry shampoo if I miss a wash day and it looks too greasy.\n\nAny insight and advice would be greatly appreciated! If you want to suggest certain products, please keep them cheap as we only make $3000/month for our 3 person family (including a fruit obsessed toddler) so I only have ~$30/month for non-necessities.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_1lgbxn3", "text": "Hi everyone!\n\nI\u2019m so lost with my wavy/curly hair and would love any and all advice. I\u2019m somewhat new to understanding my curl pattern and how to properly take care of my hair, so bear with me! Lately my hair has felt soooo dry, unpredictable curl pattern, and frizzy. The last picture is when I tried the curly girl method, which was a fail. Personally, I don\u2019t find that method realistic for my lifestyle and how much I wash my hair and it makes my back and neck killllll.\n\nHere\u2019s everything you need to know:\n\n1) I\u2019d guess I have 2B/2C waves\n2) I\u2019ve had a bob all the way to long hair. I find my hair curls better long because the top portion of my hair is fairly straight.\n3) My curls underneath the top layer are typically chunky banana curl ringlets. Hard to see here and lately has felt more frizzy. The top layer of my hair is this frizzy straight/wavy pattern.\n4) I air dry 100% of the time. Tbh I just got a diffuser but haven\u2019t tried using it yet. The time required is kind of daunting since I wash my hair often.\n5) I wash my hair every other day because the top of my hair gets pretty oily quickly and the oil has a smell. I also work out frequently. Dry shampoo makes my hair gross with build up. Going longer between washes has never helped, I have naturally combination skin on my face too, so I think it\u2019s just genetic!\n6) I live by the beach, sometimes it can be dry and sometimes it can be humid depending on the time of year.\n7) I have a filter on my shower head\n8) I have high porosity hair (strand of hair sinks in a cup of water), which is why I think the curly girl method of applying a lot of products weighed down my hair and made it greasy and gross.\n9) I find a lot of curl tips break up the curls into small strand chunks but I tend to like when my hair has chunkier curls. My underneath layer naturally coils together into chunky ringlets, the top layer just wants to do its own thing, so not sure which to follow.\n10) I recently tried to switch my hair care over from sulfates and strong chemicals to natural products. My hair has taken an absolute pitfall since then.\n11) here\u2019s my wash day routine:\n- double cleanse with either crown affair hydrating shampoo, head and shoulders bare, or briogeo charcoal detox scrub. I cycle through each of these throughout the week. Head and shoulders is the only thing that gets rid of the smell in my hair. I\u2019ve researched everything under the sun, had this issue since I was a kid, and it\u2019s what works.\n- condition with briogeo don\u2019t despair repair\n- wrap hair in microfiber towel for 10-15 mins\n- brush hair with wet brush\n- apply either kerastase oil, crown affair leave-in, crown affair mousse, or eleven curl cream. I don\u2019t find the crown affair products do anything nice for my hair but make them a bit frizzy. Maybe I\u2019m doing something wrong? I usually only use one or two of those products together.\n- air dry (usually takes several hours) \u2014 I find it hard not to touch my hair when it\u2019s air drying because I can see a crown of frizz forming over the entire thing and I look crazy!\n\nAppreciate any feedback, advice, questions, etc.!

Long time reader here and I've tried finding answers through all the amazing help on this sub but I'm honestly still lost...\n\nI got a Brazilian Keratin  \\~18 months ago (August 2023) because my hair had started receding on the sides, the curl had gone weird, and I felt like I couldn't make my hair look good or feel confident. I had gotten BBs before and they worked well but this time something must have happened...it's 18 months later and my hair looks like I got a Japanese Straightening treatment instead -- half my hair is flat straight (the front pieces, bottoms of front curls that I do have), the back is super tight curly. It's a multi-textured mess.\n\nThe other challenge is I've been losing a ton of hair over the past year and half...I don't think it's related to the treatment, but maybe stress. I'm on Nutrafol, Minoxidil, and was taking Finesteride but then stopped (so now just Minoxidil and Nutrafol).\n\nI'm dying for all your help on how to figure out how to style my hair/get back to overall curling hair. Everytime I try to do gel, finger coil the curls, low diffuse...it just ends up terrible. Tight curls in the back, flat chunks in the front. It's so ugly and terrible.\n\nI use Pantene conditioner, Aptiva Tonic Shampoo. Was using Sebastian Potion 9 and Camille Rose gel or Tresemme Gel...no luck though. Is there a set of products to help get everything to curl again / stay curled when styled (especially the flat pieces?)\n\nPLEASE let me know what you all think - thank you so much for your help!!

I literally feel I have nowhere else to turn sp I'm praying that between all of you kind people, I might be able to find a solution.\n\nI have very short and very fine, medium-low porosity hair that curls to 3A/2C with my typical routine (pureology hydrate shampoo as the only product I wash with, air dry after light scrunching. I know it feels like no conditioner is a sin here, but most conditioner tends to weigh down my hair and make it super flat, which isn't the vibe with a near-pixie). This is fine, we love it, my hair is aggressively dry all the time but that's not a huge issue to me. Especially since the other issue I deal with regarding my hair is its colour. I'm albino, so it's this really gorgeous natural platinum blonde. Like, WHITE. I so super love being able to show off its natural colour, but the problem is that it stains very easily. I was using products that weren't specifically non-staining and they fully stained my hair into a dull and muddy yellow colour. And on top of all of this, my curl clumps are massive. Like, I have four giant ringlets that make up the front of my head. I know my hair wants to spring up into tighter curls because I have a few tiny clumps around my ears that find their way out and spiral into these cute tiny ringlets that are 3B, but I have no clue how to make that happen without brushing out my curls and turning it all into poof.\n\nThe big problem I seem to have is that it's hard to find products that are lightweight, non-staining, and good for curly hair. As it stands right now, I'm not using any curly hair products at all, and it shows because my hair is kind of wispy and my clumps separate into massive chunks of poof by the end of the day. Any time I've tried using mousse, it makes the top of my head incredibly flat and ungodly frizzy. Honestly, I have no clue how to tackle any of this since my family has pretty straight hair overall and tried to do with my hair what they'd do with theirs, so I have no measure for what would work with family and never learned about taking care of my curls until I'd moved out.\n\nAny recommendations, tips, suggestions, or advice at all would be greatly appreciated.

I also know with certainty it\u2019s not new growth because my hair used to feel twice as thick before I started experiencing this.\u00a0\n\nThe timeline: this started happening to me in spring of 2023. When I noticed that there were these long chunks of hair missing, I did literally everything I could possibly think of to stop it from getting worse. I have always been very careful with my hair and have worked to have long, thick, and healthy hair so to have it break in a place where it will take 2-3 years to grow out was devastating. \u00a0\n\nIt seemed that some of the breakage was starting to grow out as I\u2019ve spent the last year trying to stop it and now I\u2019m noticing new, even shorter breakage after a full year of trying absolutely everything.\u00a0\n\nHere\u2019s a list of everything I\u2019ve tried:\u00a0\n\n* I\u2019ve never died my hair in general\u00a0\n* Stopped using heat\u00a0\n* Sleep in protective hair styles\n* Sleep on a silk pillow case\n* No restrictive hair styles like tight buns and I almost never wear my hair in a ponytail except to workout\n* Weekly hydrating hair masks for dryness\n* Taken nutrafol everyday for the last year\n* Very occasional K18 use off and on (haven\u2019t wanted to use it too often because I don\u2019t want to protein overload my hair)\n* I wash my hair with warm water and finish with a cold water rinse to\n* I have a Pretty balanced diet and have a healthy lifestyle\u00a0\n* I try not to comb my hair and wait until it\u2019s mostly dry or totally dry and I use a wide tooth comb\n* I\u2019ve used a variety of products that don\u2019t seem to make much of a difference: olaplex, oribe split end cream, hydrating hair oil, leave in conditioner etc.\n\n* I even saved up and did a full blood panel test and gut test and my thyroids and hormones can back normal. Nothing was off and there were no deficiencies \u00a0\n\nThe only thing I can think of if is that I switched from the Skyla IUD (which is lower hormones, where my hair had no problems and no breakage) to the Mirena IUD (this has slightly more hormones) in the fall of 2022. I started noticing the first round of breakage the spring of 2023.\u00a0\n\nThe 1 other thing I haven\u2019t tried yes it a shower filter but I will take ANY suggestions. I\u2019m getting desperate because, after a year of trying to address this, it\u2019s still getting worse again.

For some background information, i have always had very thick and long hair my whole life, with one chop and it grew back in two years to my belly button (i'm 5'10 too so it was super long). I had straight brown hair. Unfortunately i started getting highlights, and summer 2023 went to a hairstylist who scrubbed my bleach as if it were shampoo into my hair... and it was fried to a crisp. I have spent the last year healing it, it has grown a bit but due to so many chops it's at the same length it was last year. 6 weeks ago I got hair extensions for length as my hair was still thin and short and ruined my confidence. I did tape in extensions at home (i know bad don't remind me) and removed them today to move up. I took amazing care of them and they were just perfect the whole 6 weeks, however either the remover i used or my head just reacted badly, my hair almost all fell out. it came out in chunks. obviosuly i'm not going to put the extensions back in. i have been crying all day and so upset, my hair is so thin; it's not fried like last year but it is significantly thinner. By thin, i mean it feels no different than a small chunk of string. it won't even go into a mini claw clip; a pony tail looks like my 3 year old niece has more hair than me, all around terrible. i plan to get some halo extensions for special events. however i just feel so terrible and set back, like that year of work was for nothing. it absolutely ruined my confidence and im so upset. I really would love to grow it as fast as i can. i have decent knowledge on hair from my hair health journey, but im trying to see if theres anything else i can get to improve it. my current products im using are- redken acidic bonding concentrate shampoo, redken extreme length shampoo, amika soil food mask, K18, olaplex #6, redken 25 benefit spray, redken heat protectant, moroccan oil, using soft hair ties, wearing a bonnet to sleep, using a bamboo brush, and taking a hair growth supplement, currently on lemme grow.

It\u2019s advertised as \u201cThe world first formula has built in plex within the powder which helps avoid breakage and rebuild hair structure.\u201d It was a little sachet of powder that you mix with conditioner, leave in your hair for 10 mins and then rinse out.\n\nThought it sounded great to decided to give it a go. I absolutely saturated my hair but as soon as I did so I knew it didn\u2019t feel right. My hair immediately felt like like any sort of hydration had been stripped, I gave it a minute or two but my gut was just telling me to rinse it off ASAP so I did. I\u2019d say it was in my hair 3 minutes max.\n\nI\u2019d hate to think what would happen if I\u2019d left it on for 10 mins because it has absolutely destroyed my hair.

I thought after a few protein treatments, my bleached hair was strong enough to get straight permed. I had JUST gotten my overprocessed hair to be smooth again, and then I got cocky.\n\nRight after, my hair was extremely gummy when wet and coming out in my hands if I touched it. Honestly, gummy isn\u2019t even the right word. It was MUSH. It didn\u2019t dry even overnight. \n\nI did 4 rounds of ApHogee 2-step, and now my hair is normal when wet, a little gummy when damp, but BOY when it dries, it dries bunched together and hard like straw. It literally dries like I\u2019m doing an aphogee treatment. The way it dries is throwing me off because it\u2019s drying way worse than it looks/feels??? Like once I separate the dried chunks, it\u2019s just fried and frizzy hair, which I\u2019ve had before. Maybe I\u2019m overloading the protein treatments, but doesn\u2019t my hair need them\u2026?\n\nI\u2019m assuming I need both moisture and protein, but which should I focus my efforts on if I want my hair to recover asap? Even though my hair isn\u2019t as gummy anymore, I think the main problem is still protein because my curl pattern is still completely weird and frizzy, but if someone can confirm this, that would be great :)\n\nMy current plan is to do 1-2 aphogee 2 step treatments a day until my hair feels like normally damaged hair again, followed by a deep conditioner. I know you\u2019re supposed to only do those once a week, but my poor hair needs protein right NEOW. I also ordered Olaplex 0 and 3, though I\u2019m not sure how effective they\u2019ll be. I also use the Aphogee 2 minute reconstructor, but I feel like my hair might be too far gone for that to work?\n\nSo if anyone can tell me if I\u2019m delusional, misguided, or on the right track, please do so!

So I finally tell her just to dye my hair darker\u2026.. she dyed my head pitch black. I looked like Wednesday Adam\u2019s. Mortified I never went back. About 2 months later my face framing pieces, a few in the back of my head and around my ears start to fade back to orange.

Hair has also thinned, and it kills me as my hair is usually very thick, and long. Been on steroids for 2 years, have to be on weaker kind for 4 weeks. Have several chronic illnesses, meds that can cause hair issues, and am hoping to find something to help restore the health of my hair \n\nMy history is that I have multiple chronic illnesses, one of which I was on a corticosteroid, Medrol, of vary does for about 2 years. I finally have come off it and am on a weaker steroid, hydrocortisone, to  eventually get off of the steroids permanently. My body suffered the full effects of exogenous Cushings brought on by the steroids. Moon face, stretch marks, weight gain, emotional rollercoaster, thinning skin etc Since having tapered down, and off the medrol, my body is more back to how it was, and slowly recovering. More mentally stable/myself, weight loss, and loss of other bothersome side effects. I believe my body is trying to bounce back, and find its \u201cnormal\u201d after all of this. Unfortunately I have to stay on hydrocortisone for 4 weeks until I have blood work done to see if my cortisol/ACTH levels are good, and my adrenal functions recovered \n\nAnyway, my hair has taken a major hit! Strands are crinkly. My head hair over all has majorly thinned, and seems to be falling out. The texture change is all over, and I just can\u2019t help but pull at these strands. Some just easily break, and it just is so bothersome \n\nI should add that previous to this situation, I had plaque psoriasis on my scalp, where I lost chunks of hair. This hair is growing back, but seems to be crinkling. I also have experienced several major stressors in the past few months which I\u2019m sure hasnt helped. I am on several meds that impact hair-methotrexate, Ritalin, and weaker steroid hydrocortisone. I do take a multivitamin, biotin, and prescription folic acid \n\nI have spoken to several of my doctors, and they agree about my body working to recover. My hair dresser took a good 2 inches off, which kills me, and agreed my hair has thinned. She recommended prenatal vitamins, biotin, hair masks etc I know not picking at my hair would be a major help, but is there anything else I could be doing?

It's difficult for me to summon the strength to recount the entire story.\n\nI went to the salon for a root touch-up and highlights. I've been visiting her every three months. She's been just okay, often making mistakes and resorting to lying or shifting blame.

Now, I feel like I've brought all of this upon myself because I should have sought out a new place when I noticed the first alarming sign.\n\nIt wasn't until it\u2019s done that I realized she had bleached the ends of my hair. While I'm not a professional, I do know that bleaching the ends, especially when I had put so much effort into maintaining their decent or good condition and they were thick and voluminous, was a mistake.\n\nAfter the deed is done, she callously lied to my face, insisting there was no damage. However, as she blow-dried my hair, it resembled a puff of feathers, with a million strands floating in the air. When I reached out to touch it, everything disintegrated into pieces and chunks, everything I touched fall out like gummy. \n\nI discovered today that the Olaplex I had been paying for her to add to the bleach was the wrong product. She had been using #0 instead of #1 all this time. The #0 is something anyone can buy, and she just dribbled a bit into the bleach. I had been assuming all along that she was using #1 with the proper measuring pump.\n\nI was devastated. I asked her if she had bleached my ends, and she said yea you said no brassiness. I was shocked and asked why she did that when my ends were perfectly fine. She had bleached my roots and ends together for the same amount of time, likely over 40 minutes.\n\nI can't even remember how I managed to drive home without crashing.

I had sepsis, double pneumonia, MRSA, and bacterial fluid around my heart. I was pumped full of so many different antibiotics and various other drugs, along with two blood transfusions. (Adding this info for context because I\u2019m thinking maybe this could help with a solution) I left the hospital knowing I am anemic and have/had a vitamin D deficiency which I currently take supplements for. I also take Keppra for seizures. Starting a couple weeks ago, when I would brush out my hair\u2026 more hair than usual would come out and not just that one time, but every time I would brush my hair. I have a lot of long, thick hair, so I just chalked it up to me shedding more than usual. However, my hair started coming out in pretty big chunks so that scared the hell out of me. Like I said, I have a lot of hair so most people probably wouldn\u2019t notice, but I can definitely feel and see the difference. From what I can tell, there are no visible bald spots (yet at least \ud83e\udd7a). I am scared to even brush my hair often because of the amount that comes out makes me so anxious/scared/upset that I start spiraling. My hair is pretty long, (down to my butt) so I don\u2019t know if maybe I should cut it shorter for now or if that would even make a difference. I have looked into Nutrafol but I don\u2019t have the kind of money to purchase that and continue to purchase it for the next 6 months as recommended. I was also reading online that sometimes if you go through a traumatic time/event in your life especially as significant as mine was that you could lose hair about 3 months post event so I am hoping that maybe my body was just shocked from my hospital stay. \n\nI have had a few people tell me \u201cit\u2019s just hair\u201d \u2026 but for me, always having really long, healthy, hair has been part of ME.

I know nothing about hair care really and some help would be appreciated. \n\nI'm a trans gal adjusting to trying to care about these things for the first time. \n\nI have long dark blonde hair it's quite thick and prone to greasiness and dandruff. Unsure if that info will help so I included it anyway.\n\nFor most of my life, I have had to use H&S anti-dandruff shampoo. When I am using this shampoo my hair goes greasy and much darker just the next day, so I have to wash daily ( an annoyance with my hair as long as it is now, to say the least) and I can tell my hair feels so much dryer and in worse condition than when I try nice shampoo and conditioner.\n\nIn regards to that, Tresemme is what I currently have, but I don't think this is an issue about brands. When using non-anti-dandruff shampoo and conditioner, my hair feels amazing and so much more luxurious, I don't have to wash it every day because after a while it doesn't get as greasy and it looks so much better. There's one huge problem. Dandruff. Not just flakes either, crusty chunks of it on my scalp too that need to be picked and combed out. When it was like this as a child, my mother used to call this cradle cap, but I have since googled it and I think she was confused with something else in babies. Anti-dandruff shampoo deals with it entirely, but that has its flaws as I said.\n\nI'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. There might be a solution I didn't even know was an option to consider, or something I've been doing wrong this whole time, so any suggestions will help a lot. I don't know any of the causes of the issues with either product or any of the science, just looking for some help.\n\nI imagine a potential cause is wanting women's hair quality with currently a male body and its different chemistry and biology, but it is hard to believe there isn't a way. I am vaguely aware that shampooing isn't always something that has to be done daily, maybe especially with girls, but I don't know too much about this. I don't really have anyone I can ask either. I don't have a hairdresser, because, since my last trip to the barbers for guys, I've been just growing it out for a few years.\n\nIf any more info is needed, just ask and I'll try to help out.", "author": "anon_52b10dce", "created_utc": 1620081376, "created_iso": "2021-05-03T22:36:16Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/HaircareScience/comments/n49eh0/stuck_between_two_unideal_hair_situations_with/", "community": "HaircareScience", "score": 22, "parent_id": null, "title": "Stuck between two unideal hair situations with different shampoo types.

I've put image and video links to my hair journal (dorky af, I know) at the bottom.\n\nSo, this is something that's really important to me, and I'd really like your help \u2013 I've been trying to grow my hair out as part of expressing my identity, but I always just had short hair growing up like almost everyone else who was raised as a man. And while I love having longer hair, and feel like it has a lot of potential, my hair just never seems to look good and it really bothers me and causes a lot of insecurity...it's such an important part of the image you present to the world that affects how everyone sees you, and mine always seems to look some ratty combination of frizzy, oily, and puffed up/sticking out all over the place and flying around in chunks at the slightest breeze.\n\nAfter spending literally hundreds of dollars trying different shampoos and conditioners (regular, silicone free, sulfate free, salon brands, supermarket brands), silk pillowcases, co-washing/no-poo, various leave-in products, oil masks, pat drying with special microfibre hair towels, and even paying twice what I normally would to see a high-level hairdresser who does the hair for magazine photoshoots and fashion festivals/parades...I still can't get my hair to look consistently good or be consistently manageable and it drives me nuts. I feel like I've tried everything.\n\nSo I've finally had enough and decided to start keeping a visual record of my hair via photo and video to track changes and results that I can share to hopefully get some help from the fine folks of Reddit to get a handle on this frustrating problem.\n\nSo what I'm doing now: after trying many different shampoos and conditioners, I've found that none have given me markedly better results than the simple Garnier Fructis Coconut Water (Oily Roots, Dry Ends), although a Schwarzkopf Professional one that the fancy hairdresser recommended and cost about 3 times as much gave me similar results. I was just doing a regular wash and condition about 2-3 times a week, although after reading a tip someone online shared I've been conditioning before and after shampooing lately and that seems to help curb (a little bit) some of the dryness and frizziness. After showering I just towel-dry it (mostly pat-drying, special microfibre hair towel), and then basically leave it be.\n\nThe main issue I struggle with is that I tend to experience a lot of puffiness and frizz and dryness, and that my hair seems to puff up, stick out and go all over the place/refuses to behave...it generally doesn't have that healthy moisture and weight and shine that good-looking hair seems to have. But if it's not doing that then it seems to sit flat and greasy and I can't win.\n\nIt might not look all that bad in some of these photos and videos, but that's probably just because I'm actually looking at my hair at the time and have tried to pat it down and put it in place \u2013 usually when I'm just going about my day it just flops and flies around and sticks out everywhere :(\n\nAnywho, if anyone has advice or a potential diagnosis/diagnoses of the problem/s, I'm all ears.

(Too long didn't read at the bottom) When I wake up, I would see my pillow case coated with small tiny white flakes. I don't think it's dandruff because upon research, dandruff is supposed to be bigger chunks of skin and its usually yellow and greasy. My scalp is not greasy, its dry as fuck. Not only that, I've had eczema on the part of my arm where it bends since I was a child. However, for the past five years, I have not gotten any except now. I have an eczema outbreak on my neck and on my arms at the same time my scalp started to get really bad. I don't think its a coincidence that I also recently started my first year of college and to be frank, it has been quite stressful as I am taking more classes than average. So I guess maybe stress plays a factor as well. I've also lived in California my entire life so its been really dry since starting like last month. I've also bought a humidifier but that doesn't seem to be doing much. I would want to go see a dermatologist but I just dont have enough time, It would probably have to wait until I am on break or if i am really desperate I will try to plan an appointment. Sorry if this sounds like a rant but my skin condition has really been messing me up mentally these past couple of weeks and I know there are some people with far worse conditions than me so I guess this may sound kind of bitchy but nonetheless, I'm trying to look for solutions. \n\nI've posted pictures to my pillowcase the morning I wake up and also the eczema on my arms(these things happened at around the same time).

I would be willing to give it a try but I'm not sure what my skin condition is for sure. Could it just be really dry scalp or could it be Seborrheic dermatitis.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_c3zbvr", "text": "So I have naturally brown hair. I finally built up the courage to dye it extremely blonde, almost to a white. I have a hairstylist I trust very much, and who I\u2019ve known for years. She says because my hair is virgin (aka I\u2019ve never dyed it or done anything crazy to it), it would be relatively easy to colour. \n\nSo I sit in the chair, she puts the bleach on, and puts plastic over my hair. All the standard stuff. The bleach needs to sit for around 45 minutes to get to the lightness she\u2019d need to then tone it for the white/blonde colour. \n\nAfter about ten minutes, my head starts getting really hot. Pretty typical, as bleach is heavy duty stuff. But then it starts to get real hot. Like, devils cornhole hot. I literally had to grab my hair and lift it off of my neck because it hurt so much. I immediately called my stylist over, and she peeled the plastic off ASAP, and straight up steam came out. Not normal. I also got a nasty chemical burn on the back of my neck where the plastic was touching. \n\nShe washes it all out right away, and thankfully my hair didn\u2019t come out in chunks like I thought it would, it just wasn\u2019t as light as she wanted, and the bleaching is uneven because of the places that got too hot. \n\nShe asked me what type of products I\u2019d been using on my hair, and I said a generic coconut oil shampoo and conditioner, and a heat protectant spray. She gave me free salon quality products for my blonde hair, and was able to make it look totally wearable, just not how light I wanted it, and with some slight uneven colouring. She said she\u2019d book me to come back in a month, we\u2019d do a strand test, and if everything is fine, she\u2019d correct it and get it to the perfect colour I wanted for free. \n\nShe\u2019s a great stylist and is super knowledgeable. I don\u2019t put this on her or her skills at all, I\u2019m just curious if anyone has had a similar experience where their head almost caught on fire from a chemical reaction, or if anyone knows why this might have happened \n\nTLDR: my stylist bleached my brown hair, and believes a product I was using had a chemical reaction with the bleach, leaving me with not-quite-perfect blonde hair and a nasty burn on my neck.\n\nUPDATE: \n \nSo my hair is getting healthier the more I take care of it, and my burn is completely healed.

I was one of the first ones to order it after the site went back up after the initial crash, and didn't get mine until yesterday evening, nor did I get it delivered to my doorstep (I'm in the Middle East). Had to go pick it up from the local post office, which was a huge hassle (long waiting lines, disgruntled office workers, 15 minute drive to and from my place).  \n\nPackaging: A+. Minimum plastic involved, recyclable packaging, and the attention to detail was stunning. The gold lipstick casing and the boxes they came in are absolutely beautiful. The turquoise blue bag is a gorgeous touch as well, and a welcome addition to my makeup-related collection. \n\nSkyscraper Rose: A solid A. Maybe A+. Beautiful texture, gorgeous colour, did not emphasise dryness and felt comfortable on the lips. Minimum staining once removed. Survived a full-on meal of salmon, large chunks of roasted veggies, and salad with olive oil dressing. I like it so much that I am planning on keeping the backup I bought of it. However, I'm not sure about giving it an A+ because I haven't worn it out for a night of drinking, dancing, and late-night binging on shawarma yet. Will report back when I do, if anyone is interested  \n\nRainbow Spill: B-. Yep, I'm passing this one on. It's definitely a ~lewk~ on my light-medium, possibly olive skin tone, especially with a darker lipliner, but it's just too NEON. I already have a By Terry lipstick I bought on sale here that pulls absolutely neon and pink on me, and I just don't wear it enough to justify having a second, similar colour around. I was also shocked to see that it emphasised dryness on my lips that I didn't even know I had. I had lip balm on underneath. I had buffed away at my lips before I started, as I always do. And yet, there were the lines and flakes. I just turned 30. Am I even supposed to have these lines? Why is this colour so freaking neon on me? Was this lewk worth the staggering \u00a326 price tag? So many questions. \n\nWhat did you guys think of the lipsticks you bought? I feel like I'm glad I passed on Go Lightly and Love of My Life. I am also glad I got Skyscraper Rose.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_1hc7qst", "text": "Pull up a chair, friends!  It's time to break your brains with some IMPORTANT ULTA MATH related to Returns!  \n\nRemember percents and fractions back in pre-Algebra?  They're here to haunt you again.\n\n* LONG story short:  for huge orders when you're using points and you don't know how many or how few items you might need to return?\n\n* Either plan to return *everything*, or buy in store and get a bunch of gift receipts.\n\n\nBelow are two examples that show why it might not look like you're getting back the \"same\" amount of points, and why you definitely aren't getting back the same value in dollars.\n\n[Employees, please point out anything that I've gotten wrong here.]\n\n\nSINGLE-ITEM, SINGLE-TRANSACTION PURCHASE:\n\nLet's say you buy a single $250 item, and use all 2000 of your pts (a value of $125) to pay for half of it, and pay the remaining $125 via a non-Ulta credit card.\n\nIf you do that, you still earn points on the part you pay for with credit.  You might spend 2000 pts, but you'd earn 125 base pts, plus another 62 pts if you're diamond.  A diamond would lose 2000 pts, but gain 187 pts.  \n\nThose 187 pts, all alone in your rewards points pool, are only worth $3.00.\n\n\nRETURNING THE SINGLE-ITEM PURCHASE:\n\nIf you return that one item, you would get back $125 on your card, and you would get back 2000 points.  \n\nBUT.  Ulta will also *take away* the 125 base points and the 62 diamond points that you \"earned\" from the cash part of the purchase.\n\nSo as a lump sum in your points total, it might look like you're only getting back 1813 pts...  (2000 - 187), which for now only has a value of $80.\n\n\nPAUSE FOR POINTS CHART!\n\nRemember, the value of points varies based on how many you have!  The complete cycle repeats again after every 2000 points chunk.  \n\nGo look at the Ulta pts chart up to 4000 pts / $250:\nhttps://www.reddit.com/r/MUAontheCheap/s/rygHpbj52B\n\n* 100 pts by themselves?  Worth only $3.\n* 1950 pts together?  Worth $86.\n* Add on *fifty more points*?  Now that 2000-point chunk is worth *$125*!\n\n*Those fifty points essentially have a value of $39 extra dollars!!!*\n\nBUT.\n\nIf you add 100 more points on top of that 2000 / $125 chunk?  You're at the bottom of the cycle again.  2100 pts only has a value of $128, since *those* 100 pts at the bottom of the cycle are only worth $3 more.\n\nThat is why we always say only to redeem points in chunks of 2000 pts!\n\n\nOkay, back to the next example.\n\n\nMULTIPLE-ITEM, SINGLE-TRANSACTION PURCHASE:\n\nUlta Math gets more complicated if you only return part of an order, because they prorate the amounts proportionally.\n\nLet's say that you spend $250 total at Ulta buying multiple items.  You'll still redeem  2000 pts to pay for $125 of it, and use $125 credit to pay for the rest.  You'll still earn 187 pts overall (if diamond).\n\nBut if you buy 4 items that have different prices, Ulta will split the points and money across each of your items.\n\nThis is where those percents and fractions come in.  A $100 item in a $250 order makes up 2/5 of the order. And that means:\n\n* A $100 item in a $250 order is 40% of the order.  You can multiply by 0.4 to see how much that is.\n* You basically \"paid\" 40% of your cash / credit towards that item.  (40% of $125 = 125 x 0.4 = $50) \n* But *the points also get split!*  You basically paid 40% of your points towards that item.  (40% of 2000 pts = 2000 x 0.4 = 800 pts)\n* On the flip side, that item would earn you 40% of the points for the order.  (40% of 187 pts = 187x 0.4 = 74 pts)\n\nBUT.\n\nIf you only return that single $100 item from that $250 order...  that 40% all happens in reverse.\n\n\nRETURNING *PART* OF A MULTIPLE-ITEM TRANSACTION:\n\n* You will get back $50 of the $125 onto your credit card.\n* You will only get back 800 of the 2000 pts into your rewards points balance.  [800 pts = $30 value by itself]\n* They *take back* 74 of the 187 pts you earned.\n* By itself, that chunk of 74 points wouldn't even get you $3 off...  BUT.  800 pts - 74 pts = 726 pts.\n* That 726 point chunk now only has a value of $23.50.\n\n\nTHIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER PURCHASE ANYTHING ON THE SAME TRANSACTION AS A RETURN!\n\n\nLong story short, due to the way the Ulta points change value, based on how many points you have, it's sometimes going to seem like they have taken money or points away from you.\n\nIf you expect to get all 2000 points back when you only return some of the items from a multi-item transaction, you will be disappointed.\n\nIf you spend 2000 points to get $125 off, and then return 40% of an order, you might think you should get back 40% of that $125 value...  but you won't.  \n\nYes, $125 x 0.4 = $50.  No, you're not going to get back that value.  You're going to get back the points spent, minus the points earned.\n\nThey give you back the *proportional number of points*, not the value of all the points you used.\n\n\nTHUS ENDETH THE LESSON.\n\n\nNOTE:  This doesn't even *begin* to touch on cases where you buy four items in one transaction that each have different multipliers, where you also use a dollar-amount coupon, and where you return *one* of three items that qualified for a \"buy two get one free\" promo...  \n\n\ud83d\ude2c\ud83e\udee0\ud83d\ude2c\ud83e\udee0\ud83d\ude2c\ud83e\udee0", "author": "anon_81de076a", "created_utc": 1733960944, "created_iso": "2024-12-11T23:49:04Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/Ulta/comments/1hc7qst/ulta_math_points_and_returns/", "community": "Ulta", "score": 35, "parent_id": null, "title": "Ulta Math, Points, and Returns", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "chunks", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:54:56Z"}

It\u2019s always the clients fault, never theirs. \n\nHere are some small examples of the fuck-uppery recently:\n\nLady came in wanting Kelly clarkson highlights and she used her fingers to pick up 10 sections of hair on the top and slapped 40vol on it. She had box dye. It was horrific and the lady got a refund.\n\nWent on lunch while a client had bleach on their hair and came back after 50 minutes because chipotle had a long line. Another stylist realized and rinsed her after she\u2019d had the 40vol on already bleached hair for an hour and 20 minutes. Her hair was like gum.\n\nTook a client that booked online and she did not call to confirm the appointment 2 hours before closing. Client booked for a partial highlight but wanted a full platinum card, with black hair down to her waist. She just started slapping on bleach, no sections and no plan and left her there to cook until 45 minutes after closing. That\u2019s 2 hours and 45 minutes of 40 volume bleach. She rinsed it out and her hair was a mixture of fire engine red, bright yellow and orange. She starts applying bleach again. When the guest left at midnight and I am LIVID because we closed at 6 she charged her for a partial highlight. That lady\u2019s hair was destroyed and she promptly called and asked for a refund the next day. \n\nThey both refuse to use a comb when doing haircuts and will not use any kind of a plan to section the hair. One did all the layering before cutting the length off on one guest. I had a woman come in with a kid in tears because his haircut was so bad she was keeping him\nHome from school the next day.\n\nThey will not do proper consultations and just wing it on the spot. \n\nI saw one doing foils and after grabbing hair with her fingers she put color on it, folded the foil and squeezed it to achieve a \u201cfoliage\u201d look. There was no sectioning, it was all random chunks of hair. That lady got a refund too. \n\nI have partnered with every single person I can partner with on this and the answer is always to train them. They will not accept help from the two master stylists that are begging them to stop what they are doing and have offered to partner with them on full services to coach them. \n\nI sent them to training and they just come back and talk shit.\n\nI block them in Bella and have them do computer trainings for days on end on basic techniques and they sat and scrolled on their phones the whole day. \n\nApparently I cannot fire them for this so here I am to rant.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_qpmn7e", "text": "A couple of months ago I went into an ulta to try and keep my hair a blonde color (already very very blonde). \nThe hairstylist spent 9-10 hours bleaching my hair and \"accidentally\" dyed my hair brown. I was gaslit when I started crying and told me it was blonder and its just the lighting and after some of the toner washes out it will look much brighter. I went home and almost immediately washed my hair 10x with dawn dish soap (per the stylists recommendation). Because I haven't been a brunette in years I was constantly crying and even wearing a hat in my own damn house, the next day my fiance made the call for me cause I could not stop crying. I went in the next day and they tried to correct by doing another about 7 hour bleaching (this was the only free session they gave me after they had promised much more). So, anyone who is a brunette probably knows after going from brown to blonde your hair is going to be orange. Which was the result of my hair. \nThey told me they would give me a free deep conditioning treatment (pureology hydrate purple bottle for free). Since I literally did 2 back to back services in 2 days. At the register the manager put the code in and ran off and only gave me a 20% off discount. At this point, still crying because my hair is orange I just left.\nBesides destroying the color of my hair turning it into a orange color and only offering one hair service and a \"free\" deep conditioner (which instead of free only got a 20% discount), i asked for a refund for the first treatment which they refused,, promising me \"girl we're gonna fix this and get you back to normal\". The 3rd time coming in I stayed another 5 hours to get it to once again a lighter shade of blonde..which just came out less orange but still pretty damn orange (they did not want to bleach too heavily to not damage the integrity of my hair) but i already have chunks that have fallen out (massive) leaving literal stubble and raggedy hair.\n\n I was curious if there is any way to get compensated for the following hair treatments and corrections to fix my hair which they still had not turned back to even a closer color of the blonde i was. I also tried reaching out to the district manager and she never returned my calls. We don't know what to do. Ulta beauty said they can't offer me any more free treatments and nothing else they can do. \n\nAny advice could help", "author": "anon_d187ea7b", "created_utc": 1636403995, "created_iso": "2021-11-08T20:39:55Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/Ulta/comments/qpmn7e/ulta_ruined_my_hair/", "community": "Ulta", "score": 13, "parent_id": null, "title": "Ulta ruined my hair", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "chunks", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:54:56Z"}
{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_onpazu", "text": "Ok, so technically speaking, before I made a purchase on July 7, I had a points balance (PB) of X495. And I know that since I've been writing that balance down for weeks (that was a constant balance and I didn't make any purchases for a hot minute). A purchase on July 7 earned me 87 points, so a total of X582. A week later, I made an exchange on July 14 which reaffirmed my thoughts on the bottom of the receipt: X582 points. Cool. Whatever. \n\nThe two purchases on July 16 earned my account a point each. So I should have X584 points, right? Not according to Ulta. I'm still at X582 points. And to clarify, I'm not bitter about not having two points; I'm bitter because this is the **THIRD** time this has happened with my PB in the past year. First, it was about 14 points, then it was another 8, and now 2. Not the biggest amounts, but definitely sketchy. And I've checked my credit card transactions (I have the regular one) to make sure, so I wasn't losing bonus points from them.\n\nOf course with it being the third time the issue arose, I contacted CS. They claimed that the PB was correct on their end and even before July 7, I had a PB of X493. So the current total of X582 is correct. \n\nUh. . . no?\n\nI had to ask them to search between January and now for a points deduction of 2 anywhere on my account, but to no avail. So I'm deciding to give it a month or so to see if my next credit card statement will say anything. If not, I don't know what I should do. . . . \n\nAnd to really add even more cherries on top of my sundae, my gift card (GC) balance a few weeks ago just dropped 12 cents. Again, not a big deal or amount. But considering I buy discounted GCs, I have a log on my phone that tells me the balances and numbers of each card, and consolidating them makes things much easier. Cool, right? Well, twelves pennies decided not! Again, when I contacted them a few weeks ago, I wanted to see if any purchase utilized my GC for $0.12. And I update my GC balance after each transaction where I used it, so I have no idea where they went, and CS didn't have a definitive answer either. And again, they are discounted GCs, so I'm more than willing to give up a few cents. But with the track record I'm seeing from them so far, I really don't know.\n\nTL;DRish/conclusion: So moral of the story, I'm paranoid. Obviously, with the amounts I mentioned, I'm not mad, and I shouldn't be. Missing 24 points across a span of a year isn't the end of the world. But like, I just wanna know what's going on! Why are points and cents just disappearing?! What if larger chunks of points and money decide not to exit anymore one day? Do I not have a case then, y'know? I hope maybe I'm just blowing the issues out of proportion, but part of me says that this isn't legal, so. . .take that as you will.\n\nLet me know if you have similar issues and how attempts to resolving them went. :)", "author": "anon_ee1c8bb0", "created_utc": 1626735098, "created_iso": "2021-07-19T22:51:38Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/Ulta/comments/onpazu/so_uhhhare_you_guys_having_glitches_with_your/", "community": "Ulta", "score": 2, "parent_id": null, "title": "So, uhhh...are you guys having glitches with your points balances and gift card balances?", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "chunks", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:54:56Z"}

At its longest it was 36 inches, blunt cut and thick. There came a point last year where that was too overwhelming for me, so after 6 years of trimming it myself I scoured the internet for a long hair specialist in my area and I thought that I had found that. This was my 3rd time seeing her. The previous two trims were excellent, gave my hair some movement while still maintaining overall length. \n\nToday before she began we briefly consulted and I asked for what we had done before. It has been about six months since my last appointment. I asked for LONG layers and some shaping. She asked if I wanted to \"lighten it up a bit\" and I thought I understood what that meant. We've done that before (I thought) but it was always through the ends / mid length. We cut my hair dry, for the record. I strongly prefer this.\n\nAnyways, she took the thinning shears and cut AT THE ROOT in the back of my head. I started to panic then she did it again higher up. I felt the cold from the shears on my scalp. I stopped her and asked what she is doing, she assured me it was what we had done before, I asked why so close to the root and she said it was normal. Seeing that pile of like chunks of 2 feet long strands of my hair made ne almost burst into tears but I held it together and trusted the process, though I do not believe that this is how my hair was handled last time. \n\nEver since I left I've been stewing over it. My hair length looks fine I guess, but it feels so. thin. I've tried to talk to my mom and my two best friends but nobody seems to understand the extent of dread and anxiety I am feeling. I know it wasn't my stylist intention, but I feel violated and never would have agreed to that if I had known explicitly what was going to happen to me. \n\nThinning shears at the root. I am just floored. Not only does my hair feel like a shell of what it was but now I expect to grow out frizzy spiky flyaways at the root for...I don't know.

I wash and condition once a week with whatever is cheap and tickles my fancy. Currently it's Dove brand from Costco. I add a cheap heat protectant spray, currently its tre semme, then blow dry, and sometimes curl it. Then all I do for the rest of the week is add a light oil product in the morning, currently ogx coconut oil spray, and brush it 3-4 times a day (yes even when curled, I love the feel of my hair when it's brushed). Sometimes I'll add dry shampoo on a Friday. \n\nThe first pic is my before pic on the day I henna'd it. About 6 days after its last wash. \n\nThe second pic was my best attempt to show off my mud bun to my husband, it's not great, but I thought the visual might help explain the process. \n\nThe third  pic was right after I'd henna'd, washed, conditioned, and blow dried it. \n\nAnd the fourth  is a week later, after I'd washed, conditioned, blow dried, and curled it. \n\nI take very few pictures in my life and don't have any in natural light, I'm afraid, I apologize for the poor quality. But it definitely sparkles in the sunshine. \n\nThis was my process. \n\nI mixed about half a 500g bag of 100% henna with warm coffee until it was all moistened around 11am and placed it near the stove, in a clean plastic take-out container with a lid, while I was baking to keep it air-tight  and slightly warm. \n\nAround 2pm I added more hot coffee and stirred vigorously until I liked the consistency. \n\nThen I went and sat in the tub, nude and slathered in coconut oil, (my skin was very soft afterwards) to apply it. \n\nI used the method where you start with a small chunk of hair at your crown, slather it in mud, then wrap it into a bun. Then just keep going in a spiral, mudding new chunks and adding them to the bun. I used my shower attachment to clean any messes as I went and I had no staining on my skin or bathroom. It took me about 45 min to an hour to apply, but I'm sure it'll be faster next time, I really went slow this first time. \n\nThen I put on a shower cap and a towel wrap,  filled the tub with a nice hot bubble bath, lit a candle, grabbed a drink, and read my book for about 4 hours.\n\nBefore I drained the tub, I laid down and soaked my hair in the water and massaged as much mud off as I could. The water was sooo gross looking after that. \n\nI immediately took a shower and washed my hair, it took about 3 shampoos to feel clean, and 3 conditioners to make it feel nice again. When I was done, I blow dried it and that's what you see in picture 2.  \n\nI really like how it turned out. I used just over half of the mixture I made, and froze the rest. My roots are just starting to show so in a couple of weeks I'll defrost it and try to figure out how to do root touch - ups. \n\nMy thought is to do the bun wrapping method again, but for each chunk, only add it straight to the roots and then throw a little squirt of conditioner into the rest of the henna in my hand and apply that to the length before wrapping it. But I haven't decided for sure yet if anyone has better ideas.", "author": "anon_7561731d", "created_utc": 1684542797, "created_iso": "2023-05-20T00:33:17Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/longhair/comments/13mcvfv/henna_hair_before_and_after/", "community": "longhair", "score": 20, "parent_id": null, "title": "Henna hair before and after", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "chunks", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:55:08Z"}
{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_12sqt42", "text": "I'm probably making this post a little late in the game, but late is better than never when it comes to doing the best for our hair, right? \n\nTailbone length, fine, curly/coily, dye in length from over a year ago, top is non-dyed hair. Rare/occasional low heat straightening.\n\nTLDR: used Nix lice shampoo which left my hair feeling very dry, what's my best bet for combating the dryness? Coconut oil makes my hair feel like straw. Then had to use the lice comb on my wet, stripped hair. Could feel and hear the hair being squeezed and pulled between the tight tines. (Immediately put in a leave-in for the night) how much damage can I expect? Is there any way to help my hair recover from the mechanical stress? How to protect my hair if I have to do the shampoo again? How to protect my hair when I do the post-treatment combing in about a week? How to help my scalp heal from the scratching and irritation from the lice? Also could use some advice from anyone who has dealt with lice before, this is my first (and hopefully last) lice experience. \n\nBackstory that's largely irrelevant:\n\nSo for a couple weeks I've had the WORST itchy scalp. I started a new job that requires I wear a hat throughout my shift right about when the itching started, and since my head would get sweaty in my hat for 9 hours straight, I attributed the itching to a fungal issue. Plus I sleep with a satin bonnet so my head is covered quite a bit. I was also still only washing 1x per week.\n\nI tried a tea tree treatment that supposedly helps fight fungal infections, and when it didn't improve, I reexamined my hair care routine and thought it was because I started a habit of just not rinsing my conditioner out and I was suffering from build-up and/or a bad reaction to the coconut oil in my conditioner. Used clarifying shampoo, only conditioned the ends and rinsed my new coconut-free conditioner out completely. Pure coconut oil makes my hair feel dry, but generally doesn't bother my hair when it's in a conditioner with other ingredients, but I read that it can clog pores and thought my follicles were jammed. \n\nNothing worked. \n\nThen today on my lunch break while sitting in my car, I was scratching the hell out of my scalp and came up with tiny dark brown/black specs under my nails. I then proceeded to look closely at my scalp and saw a bunch of white chunks on my hair about an inch from my scalp. When I tried to pull them off, they were stuck. That's when it clicked that it might be lice, so I looked it up on le goog, and all the symptoms/signs fit. After (my now very stressful day at) work, I panic ran to the store and bought Nix lice shampoo, the one made of mineral oil meant to drown the beasts. \n\nI drenched my hair, let it sit for the prescribed time and started to wash it out. As it lathered, I could feel my hair turning to straw. I scrubbed suuuuuper well, and lathered it up for a while before I rinsed it out. I followed it with my conditioner (which I rinsed out really well also to be sure I didn't have any shampoo left). \n\nI then spread some of the lice removal solution (CVS brand) meant to make combing easier throughout my hair (glycerin, propylene glycol, basically a lubricant I guess), and sat down for my boyfriend to comb my hair with the lice comb. He was as gentle as possible, but since my hair was wet it was really elastic, and I could feel/hear how tightly my hair was being ran through the comb. (MAJOR shout-out to my man for doing this for me, he was so sweet to me while I was in lice panic and damage dread).\n\nI'm now sitting in my (freshly laundered) bed with a head full of Garnier sleek and shine leave-in (I got it for the amodimethicone-heavy formula). I plan on sleeping with it in my hair, and probably leaving it in until a wedding I'm attending on Friday in hopes I can have my pretty hair for that day. \n\nBottom line questions: pure coconut oil dries my hair, what might be best to get some moisture back into my hair? How much damage has been done by having so much tension put on every strand of hair on my head with the comb? Can it be fixed at all? Any other advice for this predicament? How can I better prepare for my next combing in a couple days to see if it worked? And if I need to re-treat for lice?", "author": "anon_78c18366", "created_utc": 1681978038, "created_iso": "2023-04-20T08:07:18Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/longhair/comments/12sqt42/how_to_protect_and_care_for_my_hair_duringafter/", "community": "longhair", "score": 7, "parent_id": null, "title": "How to protect and care for my hair during/after lice treatment???", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "chunks", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:55:08Z"}

And cut. \n\nI cut until it's way shorter than I would ever want it to be; it's super asymmetrical and awkward, and the only thing stopping me from cutting more at that point is the certain knowledge that any shorter would look absolutely awful on me. Then I wait the long painful months until it gets back to a reasonable length and I can make all the adjustments to get it back to the style I like, and I'm happy. ...For about a month. And so the cycle repeats.\n\n\nI write all these notes to myself: \n\n > \"Cut small amounts at a time and check evenness\"\n> \"When cutting in sections, don't cut too high -- that's how you end up with awkward chunks!\"\n> \"If you feel the urge to cut: Try two days of clarifying shampoo, then decide if you actually need to cut\"\n> \"Shorter doesn't always equate to more volume!!!\"  \n> \"When hair is sticking out around your ears, YOU HAVE TO LET IT GROW OUT!\"  \n\n...et cetera.\n\nBut when I get the *urge* to cut, I can look directly at the note, read it, and still disobey my own rules. That last point is the absolute hardest to believe when I get these urges, which is why the hair around my face and ears hasn't gotten below chin length in years\n\nI try to remind myself that growing out more will work better than cutting it now. I try to remember how awful I looked when I overcut last. But nothing stops me...\n\nIt's as if there are two conflicing sides of my mind: one says, rationally, \"There is a very high chance that cutting now will only make it worse; you're being impulsive so you're not thinking clearly.\" and the other says \"Yeah, but even if there's a TINY chance it will make me look better, I have to take it because I look/feel SO HORRIBLE right now!\" \n\nMy fears and insecurities are getting the better of me. Has anyone else struggled with this and overcome it? What kind of strategies could I use that I haven't tried already?", "author": "anon_3889e021", "created_utc": 1582226702, "created_iso": "2020-02-20T19:25:02Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/longhair/comments/f6y6o9/plan_help_a_compulsive_haircutter_with_growing/", "community": "longhair", "score": 2, "parent_id": null, "title": "[Plan] Help a compulsive hair-cutter with growing out hair?", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "chunks", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:55:08Z"}

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_87br6m", "text": "Hi there, I tried to make a post on r/HaircareScience, but it ended up not getting much traffic (probably due to length...teehee). \n\nMy hair is at my own personal terminal length, it feels like a separate entity from myself and there are times where I consider getting a lob (then I take it down and comb it and feel like a pretty princess and change my mind).  But I don\u2019t think I want it any longer than it currently is.  I have deeply admired purple toned balayages on dark hair for years. I figured why not take the plunge and go for it. \n\nMy stylist is pretty excited, and so am I, but I\u2019m also a bit nervous?  My hair is mostly virgin (last color experiment was 13 years ago - at home bleach...I know + two or three similar tone salon glosses in the past year - I kind of don\u2019t care for these much).  I have only had heat applied to my hair 5 times in the past 4 years or so, and I don\u2019t plan to buy heat styling tools.  I mostly try to talk stylists into giving me a dry cut. I wash once a week and currently do not use a hair mask, although I think with this color change I may benefit from one. \n\nI wash once a week, shampoo twice directly on the scalp, condition to halfway up the shaft and rinse cold. Air dry in sections.  Oil the tips when needed through the week and brush with a BBB once or twice a week for up to 30 min. \n\nManual manipulation is only when 70-80%+ dry and is first with fingers, then a wide tooth comb, and brush only when dry. It\u2019s usually in a bun with a wood fork or in a braid. I only wear it completely down for special occasions.  I sleep with it in a loose braid or scrunchie pony in a silk night cap. \n\nI think my hair is healthy?  That\u2019s what stylists, friends and family say??  I\u2019m pretty happy with it, the scalp is always a little bit oily, but I don\u2019t see too many split ends or breakage. My natural texture at the ends is pretty apparent, and I would consider it \u201calmost wavy\u201d with the ability to hold a braid curl very well. \n\nI would only want to have concentrated placement on the bottom 3-5 inches so I can say goodbye to it if it turns out to be an experiment gone wrong.  Does anyone have any experience over how much hair is lost if product is not applied up the shaft?\n\nAnyway, I am looking for long hair health tips with this color change. I\u2019m going to try to convince my stylist to only apply the product and leave the rest of my hair unwashed/untreated and no heat products. She\u2019s pretty good at braids actually, and I was hoping she could \u201cstyle\u201d my hair in interesting braid styles that I can\u2019t accomplish myself after these appointments.  She has told me that I will need a few sessions (2-3) to get to my \u201cgoal\u201d color, which is fine, and I\u2019ll probably take the maximum amount of time between appointments before bleaching those chunks again. \n\n[Here](https://imgur.com/a/3cCPR)\u2019s my hair goal album with a bonus of my hair today (somewhat potato quality, in the bathroom at work). I can try to take another picture of it at home today.\n\nTl;dr Dark brown tailbone length hair looking to eventually transition to lilac toned e tips.

I'm really happy to have finished the Primark mystery lipstick as I've had it since around 2018 though it still smells so nice just like when I first bought it (like maple syrup!) and it has a really soft, mousey texture (whilst still keeping it's bullet form) which I've never experienced in a bullet lipstick. I finished it mainly by using it as a cream contour. \n\n3. I use this as a lipliner. The color is extremely similar to Mac \"stone\". Love a cool toned lipliner but the options are non existent at the drugstore. Using eyebrow pencils as cool toned lipliners is my little thrifty secret.

At 95c i don't mind sharpening this every day. I finish a lipliner every couple of months to once a month or so. \n\n5. The lip tint im also very excited to have finished because this one just felt ENDLESS. it's been in my project pan since January. There are about 5 drops of this left inside but I called it quits last night as I noticed it suddenly smelled like vinegar and there appeared to be some chunks of pigment stuck to the side of the bottle which might be dead skin \ud83e\udd22 expiry says 10/26 and use within 12 months. This might have been in use for around 18 months, near daily use for a year. \nI'd say i decently liked this as a cheek tint. It's a very pretty, natural, pink flushed color. Didn't really like it as a liptint because it just was too watery to control that well and just didn't really last at all. I'm rolling in the Dear Darling Water Gel Tint which stains my lips almost too much. I'm talking 24 hours, i can't scrape this thing off. \n\n6. The not pictured Ruby Woo - i can't find the empty bullet anywhere but I basically scraped out the remainder and mixed it with Vaseline to make a tinted lip balm. This is my holy grail red COLOR but the dryness of ruby woo is the worst, most uncomfortable lipstick I've ever owned. Will i buy it again? Probably. \n\nAll in all so happy about my pans. I didn't finish a single product last month which was demotivating but some months when it rains it pours.

About a decade ago I did used to buy a lot on ModCloth but stopped when the quality decreased. Other than that I bought most of my clothes at Old Navy and The Gap. Everything was okay but I was never really in love with my clothes. I like colour, big ol puff sleeve dresses and bold patterns. Being in Canada the malls really don\u2019t have a huge selection, at least not in my city. At the start of the pandemic and entering in to 2021 I spent a lot more time on Instagram. I loved following artists that inspired me as I love to create art myself. That lead me to the pages of small clothing and accessories makers who are \u201cartist adjacent\u201d. I was lead down a rabbit hole and found more and more mostly female makers to follow. It has opened a whole new world for me. Now I can say wholeheartedly that I LOVE my clothes. My clothes are colourful and make me happy. My closet is full of dresses in fun patterns, pastels and brights. I even have a few bespoke garments. I was lucky enough to still have my full salary during the pandemic so I spent a bit more on quality, well fitting pieces.

Do you have any explanation?\n\nHere are some that I've set for myself. (Disclaimer: if you love these things, keep loving them! These are just my personal quirks.)\n\n* No shiny/patent leather. I don't know why I do this but it extends to me avoiding any glossy lipstick as well. I guess I don't like the glare?\n* Flannel shirts have to look 'complex' (?) for lack of a better word - they can't have uniform stripes or big chunks of white and need to be 3+ colors. Also not sure where this came from. For example, [this shirt](https://imgur.com/bPg0Ak4) is pretty good, [this shirt](https://imgur.com/MVr0bcx) is bad, and [this one](https://imgur.com/6UE21Gd) is the worst offender. I usually buy mens/vintage because they better fit my criteria.\n* I don't really like brown to begin with but I hate brown/pink or brown/blue. I think this stems from those being popular color combos when I was in middle school.\n* Any kind of jacket/cardigan/etc that I wear has to fall below the shirt I'm wearing.

I thought of some more of mine:\n\n* No gems or rhinestones, especially when they're just like stuck on there. I think they look cheap and they remind me of knockoff Ed Hardy shirts.\n* I LOVE band tshirts but I would never wear a shirt for a book, tv series, or movie that I enjoy. Only bands. Anyone else who agrees want to try their hand at explaining this one?\n* I have some kind of rule about not wearing things with animals on them I think? There are occasional exceptions but it would have to be something odd like [this](https://imgur.com/ype4Dmi) or ironic like the three wolf moon shirt.

Onnnnnline SHOPPING!\n\n&#x200B;\n\nBut wait, Peregrine, you ask, doesn't that mean I can't try stuff on?\n\nMe: Pretty much.   BUT THERE'S WAYS TO MANAGE THAT!\n\n&#x200B;\n\nThis is a guide directed at absolute beginners and those who find online shopping intimidating.\n\nExperienced FFA-ers who shop online a lot may not get a lot out of this, but who knows.  I'm trying to break this down into very manageable/understandable chunks.\n\n(EDIT: I also want add that a lot of those awesome experienced FFA-ers have added useful tips to the comments! thanks guys!\n\nMoving on.....  ) \n\n&#x200B;\n\nThere are some basic principles for online shopping that you must accept.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n**1) It will not always work out.**\n\nJust like in brick and mortar stores, you'll buy stuff that doesn't work for your closet or for you, once you get home.  Online shopping, sometimes, just doesn't work out. Don't judge online shopping by the busts.  This will happen less and less often as you get more experienced.\n\n**2) Your tailor is your friend, and/or learn to some super basic sewing.**\n\nNot everyone matches conventional sizes and THAT'S OK. Sometimes you just gotta bust out the needle and thread to make something \"you\", or beat a path over to your local stitchfix.\n\n(I have exaggerated proportions myself, and have had to take in the waist of nearly every pair of pants and skirt that I own.  If I want button downs, I have to buy 2 sizes up and take in the waist.  If you're petite, you may have to hem things like crazy.  If you've got shoulders or boobs for days, you may have to size up then tailor down).\n\n*Make your peace with tailoring something to get it right*\n\n&#x200B;\n\n**Alright, onto a step-by-step guide for online shopping for those who don't know where to start.**\n\n&#x200B;\n\n**1) Know your measurements.**\n\nBust out a tape measure, or if you don't have one, find a piece of string that you don't mind making marks on.   (in a desperate moment, I once actually used the cable for my headphones and made marks on it with a silver sharpie).\n\nYou can then measure the string against a ruler if you don't have a tape measure and get your numbers that way.\n\nMeasure the following:\n\nBust\n\nunderbust/chest -\n\nnatural waist\n\nhips\n\ninseam\n\nThere are youtube videos that show how to get these measurements properly, so if you're struggling, [hit those up.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfOjOKX4dyg)\n\nEnter your measurements into a note on your phone, or into your email, or a little notebook. Anywhere where you can handily retrieve them.  Remeasure yourself after any weight loss/gain or yearly, because gravity sometimes does its thing.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n**2) For absolute beginners, pull out 2-3 each of your favourite shirts, pants and dresses, preferably in different styles. Lay them out and measure the circumference of the relevant areas for all of them with your tape measure or string.   Write down these measurements for future reference.**\n\nSo, shirts: measure the waist and chest area, as well as across the shoulders.\n\nPants: measure the waist, hips and inseam\n\nskirts: waist and length.\n\netc.\n\nThis is so you get an idea of what sort of *fit* you're looking for and enjoy.  This might be obvious for some, but it'll really help you get a feel for what measurements of clothing will make YOU feel comfortable and happy.  You'll be able to look at numbers on a size guide and think \"Oh, so this will be slightly tighter than Favourite Shirt A\".  Having this sort of visceral comparison REALLY HELPS.\n\nIf you notice the numbers are the same or below your actual measurements, you're likely going to be partial to product descriptions like \"form-fitting\", \"slim-fit\", \"knit fabric\".\n\nIf they're about the same (and this is where it gets confusing), labels like \"form-fitting\" can also apply.  This is where knowing fabrics types is important, which I will get into later.\n\nIf they're larger than your measurements by more than two inches, then you're into looser fits. Terms like \"over sized\" and \"billowy\" in the product description are your friends.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n3) **Know your fabric types and weaves!**\n\nIf you're 34-29-40 and you buy a cotton woven shirt that's got a 34\" bust, you're going to have a bad time any time you try to take your shirt off or raise your arms.  It's going to be movement-restrictive, ride up and do all sorts of unpleasant things.\n\nHowever, if you buy a KNITTED shirt in a 34\" bust, there's a chance it may be too loose or not fitted enough.\n\nGo back to those favourite items and note down the fabrics and determine whether it's woven or knit (usually, \"not-stretchy\" and \"stretchy\" is the easy way to tell).\n\nAs for fabrics, /u/materialsnerd has some handy write ups in her (his? Their?) [post history,](https://www.reddit.com/r/MaterialsTalk/comments/7jyjyk/materials_talk_series_overview_navigation/) which is a good place to start.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n4) **Use the size guide**\n\nForget what size you are in brick and mortar stores in your home country. Online shopping is a whole different ball game.  Every single time you shop on a new website, check their size guide.\n\nRemember that all the continents have drastically different sizing standards. Asia skews small, North America skews big and Europe is somewhere in the middle.  I'm an L on some websites, but more often an XL or 2X on other websites. Sometimes I'm a 14. Sometimes I'm an 18. It's a bit ridiculous and it's really impossible to remember it unless you shop on a particular site often.  Check the size guide each time.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n**5) Read the descriptions carefully.**\n\nSome websites have great write ups about their clothing, and some don't. It's a fact of life.\n\nTerms to check for are\n\nstretch/non-stretch.\n\nknit/woven\n\ntype of fabric (usually will be listed as percentages).\n\nfabric weight  (\"light weight\"/sheer , \"midweight\"  \"thick\" etc.)\n\nYour take on all of these will be according to your preferences, so I can't really advise which are better or worse.  But these will give you a lot of insight into the fit, feel and warmth of the garment in question.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n**6) Read the reviews carefully** (if there are any)\n\nSome websites have gotten with the times, and provide spaces for customers to add things like weight, height, and measurements. These are the most valuable types of reviews when trying to determine the fit of an item.  Look for reviews from customers who have similar measurements if you can, or similar proportions and follow their lead.\n\nIf there are no reviews, or they aren't very helpful  (\"Love this!\"   \"Fits so good and comfy!\" etc), have no fear.  The size guide, fabric type and description can still give you a lot of insight if you apply some critical thinking.\n\nIf several reviews mention to size up or size down, that's something to seriously consider, especially if their measurements match yours.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n&#x200B;\n\n**7) Returns.**\n\nI'm going to be frank that I'm Canadian, and most of my clothing purchases have been from the states or the UK. I've never returned anything I've bought, because a lot of the time, for me personally, it's just not worth the cost or effort (I tend to buy from specialty vintage-style shops).\n\nA lot of the retailers I buy from don't have free returns from Canada, and after the cost of customs duty, it's almost never worth it.  I usually either gift, donate or put items that don't work for me out on consignment to recoup some of the cost.\n\nTHAT BEING SAID, a lot of companies have return policies that are very generous and will give you free shipping labels, or allow you to return items to a local store.   It all comes down to reading the fine print.  Some places suck, some places don't. Read the rules and make a judgement call.\n\nIf you're a newbie at online shopping, I wouldn't recommend starting with high price, hard to alter items.\n\nCheck out local consignment shops for their policies if you're not able to return stuff, or places like Poshmark or local clothing swaps.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n**8) Remember to factor in customs, taxes and shipping into the price you see.**\n\nI know that a lot of reddit is in the United States, but I'm not, so this is always a big stickler for me.   Some Canadians close to the US border can get around customs on American products by having a package shipped to a mail-service provider in a border town, then going to pick it up.   I can't comment on other countries, but it's always something to be aware of when you're ordering internationally.\n\nCanada specific advice: I always recommend to declare your purchases - I find the CBSA will make a judgement call about whether or not to charge you duty - I've never had to pay duty for orders under $120. YMMV.\n\nCustoms and duty might be included in the price itself when you pay for an item, or you may have to pay the delivery person or the post office directly when your package is delivered.  Factor that into your cost when purchasing so you don't get sticker shock later  (like when that dress you scored for $20 on sale costs you $35 in duties.... I'm looking at you LindybopUK \\*glares\\*)\n\n&#x200B;\n\n&#x200B;\n\n&#x200B;\n\n**Personal thoughts/observations**\n\nI've been buying online since 2015, which is when I started totally re-vamping my wardrobe, and I'd estimate that I've bought about \\~200 items online (including shirts, dresses, skirts, pantyhose, panties, cardigans and coats). Out of 200ish items, I'm estimating about 30 of them needed SOME form of alteration, and 40 of them either didn't fit, didn't work for me or had some other problem that made them unwearable, just to give you the sort of idea of what my hit-and-miss numbers are.\n\nI tend not to buy pants or bras online, just because I hate the former and have an unusual size for the latter, so I always want to try them on in person.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n&#x200B;\n\nLast but not least, there's plenty of threads on FFA about what websites sell which clothing types, so start searching and have fun!\n\n&#x200B;\n\nHappy Shopping!\n\n&#x200B;\n\n\\-Peregrine\n\n&#x200B;\n\n&#x200B;\n\n&#x200B;\n\n&#x200B;", "author": "anon_7cadfa79", "created_utc": 1549947467, "created_iso": "2019-02-12T04:57:47Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/femalefashionadvice/comments/appm20/online_shopping_for_newbies_a_basic_guide_to/", "community": "femalefashionadvice", "score": 158, "parent_id": null, "title": "Online Shopping For Newbies - A basic guide to finding stuff that fits on the World Wide Web.", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "chunks", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:55:28Z"}

We're averaging around 12% this winter....  \nI have eczema, primarily on my hands, and its getting REALLY bad working in this environment. We're talking huge gouges in my knuckles that may or may not bleed, and the sides/undersides of my pointer fingers being so messed up I can't do things like open twist-off bottles. It hurts too much.

How tight they are, are how they hug her hand, are exactly what I think will benefit me by covering problem areas. I can't afford the rings for every finger but would love a pair of gloves made of leather or something that \"hugs\", keeping me from exposing my hands to how much they get abused during the day. Fingerless gloves are not an option as I need to cover my fingers up to the top knuckle on most fingers.\n\n \nNote: I fully intend on cutting the very fingertips off as well as taking a few other chunks out so I can still use my hands properly.

No matter what I'm wearing, I usually have an urge to just hide away.

I just don't feel very feminine with my wardrobe.\nDuring school I was bullied and always the \"fat cow\", the one with the \"ugly face\" and so on. My confidence hit rock bottom and I've always bought clothes 1-2 sizes too big, because a part of me just wanted to hide away in big chunks of fabric.

I've also started paying attention to what I wear. I'm sick of using clothes I really don't like, and sick of seeing other girls wearing clothes I'd really like to wear. So why don't I just change my style, right? Thing is I've lost about 33 pounds since then, but still feel like the fat girl. I work out three times a week, and I'm still losing weight.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_1u35d04", "text": "Hello! I am turning to you today with a big question for my hair. I have medium to low porosity hair, i get water drops on my hair when i refresh it and it makes me think i am leaning more towards low porosity. My hair seems to completely despise moisture, on my wash day i have pretty limp curls and nearly no volume, and it gets better and curlier on days 2 and 3 when it starts losing moisture. \n\nMy biggest confusion comes from the fact that if i don t use moisture at all, my hair gets no slip and it is hard to comb through it, but it also comes with some slight disadvantages. \n\nAs for my routine, i came up with a roughly 4 washes regiment that seems to be working for me:  \nWash day 1: Clarify with Umberto Giannini Scalp Restore, then I condition with Lola densidade.   \nWash day 2: Preshower bonding treatment Olaplex no. 3, Shampoo with Semi di Lino Curls shampoo, condition with Lola densidade  \nWash day 3: Shampoo with Semi di Lino, rinse with Raspberry vinegar tonic from Eyup Sabri Tuncer  \nWash day 4: reset day, same routine as wash day 1\n\nFor styling: Fenty Hair Homecurl (i only use the tiniest amount of this, like a literal droplet of water), then I add Umberto Giannini curly gel (pink one), style with Denman brush (either curl rolling, finger coiling or just washing and shaking the section), then i add some Marc Anthony Strictly Curls mousse and finish off with a generous amount of gel. I micro plop to get out any excess product and water, it helps with definition too, add Umberto Giannini Weatherproof hair spray, then i diffuse on the lowest settings, which takes me around 45 mins. \n\nI usually refresh my hair on day 2, but if i feel particular ab smth i will come back on day 3 too, i alternate between refreshing with the mousse or gel and some water. I have bleached hair (i haven t bleached my hair in over a year now), ultimately dyed my natural color when i decided going back every month to bleach my roots was a committment i could no longer uphold. I have officially started my curly hair journey around 2 months ago, since then I have cut out any heavy heat on it like a straightener. My hair sits around 2c 3a, i believe 3a is my maximum potential, it s a bit unruly which i truly don t mind because it makes my hair literally a lion s mane and i love it. \n\nAs i said, my main concern is that my hair feels limp and very very soft when i add even the tiniest bit of moisture and i prefer my hair to feel a bit rougher, as i holds my curls better. How do you low porosity, loose patterned girlies and guys and everything in between manage moisture in your hair? do you add it at all? Does my hair simply get good slip from Homecurl because it is a cream? If so, should i switch to a protein cream?\n\nThank you for any feedback and I look forward to learning some more tips from you.", "author": "anon_d30842d8", "created_utc": 1781198472, "created_iso": "2026-06-11T17:21:12Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/curlyhair/comments/1u35d04/how_do_you_incorporate_moisture_into_low_porosity/", "community": "curlyhair", "score": 2, "parent_id": null, "title": "How do you incorporate moisture into low porosity hair that totally despises it?", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "slip", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:55:48Z"}

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_1tkxg80", "text": "I\u2019ve been on this sub for over a decade now and there is one new trend I\u2019m starting to see a lot of: most posts from people who are struggling with their hair follow a routine that uses too many products and too many labour-intensive techniques when they don\u2019t need to. \n\nI can totally see how this happens. A lot of beginners either pick up some random curly-labelled products at the store or see a content creator do a certain routine with multiple steps and figure that will work for them too, and then when it doesn\u2019t, it\u2019s hard to know why it might have not worked.\n\nHere\u2019s my recommendations on what to do instead. Start with assessing the situation without leave-in products. Wash and condition your hair then let it air dry. \n\nFrom there ask yourself the following questions:  \n1 - does my hair look hair nice enough as is? If yes, don\u2019t bother with products. If no, proceed.\n\n2 - does my hair feel dirty despite washing it? You might have product or metal build up, use a chelating cleansing shampoo before conditioning then proceed. \n\n3 - are the curls too fluffy/fuzzy/frizzy and I want distinct curl clusters like when my hair is wetter? If yes, you need a hold product. Which type depends on your hair. Usually the thicker your hair and tighter your curls the heavier the hold product. This is not a hard rule but a good first guess. If the product isn\u2019t giving you the level of definition you want, go heavier. If your hair is getting greasy, go lighter. Spread the product evenly around the hair and apply extra where you see the most fuzziness in your \u201cno product\u201d results. For many people that\u2019s the tips, but for some it\u2019s the roots or a patch of hair that refuses to form nice curls for whatever reason. \n\nNote: if the product gives you a hard cast, that\u2019s not a bad thing but you\u2019re not done. Casts are meant to be broken mechanically (dry scrunch and root fluff). A big mistake I see a lot is that people use oil to break their cast. This undoes the work of the gel because oil will soften the hair back up too much. Do not use oil to break a cast unless it\u2019s still too hard after scrunching and fluffing your hair dry. If your hair becomes frizzy after you break their gel cast, oil is not the answer, but rather conditioning, proceed to the next step.\n\n4 - what if you have well-defined curls, but your hair still frizzy after breaking the gel cast if one formed? Do you get a \u201chalo\u201d of frizz despite the definition? If yes, you probably need a conditioning product. Same guidelines applies as for hold: thicker hair and tighter curls typically need heavier conditioning products, so start based on that. Sometimes a combined hold and conditioning product takes care of hold and conditioning at the same time. For example, a creamy mousse can do both for someone with fine hair and loose curls; a custard-jelly can do both for someone with thicker hair and tighter curls.\n\nSo now you have definition and no frizz but your hair is a bit flat. \n\n5 - do you have substantially less volume than when your hair has no products in it? If yes, you might have smoothed your hair down too much. You can add back texture using a texture spray or foam, or you can experiment with replacing any products that have extreme slip and conditioning with ones that are a bit less slippy.\n\nThis gets most people through most of their problems. But what if your curl pattern is too uneven, and your curls have different textures? Then go to 5. \n\n5 - is your curl pattern too uneven for your liking? This is where styling brushes and finger coiling do their magic. These techniques will allow you to form identically sized strands and allow you to direct the curls in the direction you want, which will \u201cstandardize\u201d your curls all over your head.\n\nI hope this helps and if there is something I didn\u2019t touch on, please tell me and I\u2019ll be happy to help.

I have incredibly frizzy, easily tangled 3A curls that almost reach my tailbone. I received the Ouidad Advanced Climate Control gel as a birthday gift a while back, and I liked it a lot-my hair was still pretty frizzy, but a hell of a lot better than it was gel-less. But, when I went to check the price for re-purchase, it cost THIRTY DOLLARS for one bottle. School is my job, and the wages are paid in knowledge, not money. (Nice to have, but unfortunately my report card isn't very useful here.) I tried the Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus defining & styling gel to replace it, but it doesn't work for me at all-the texture of it is really thick and I got a lot of wet frizz, which led to my hair looking like a hot mess (Smelled divine, though.). So, I need a dupe for the Ouidad, but I don't want to buy a product I don't know much about and keep throwing money down the drain for products that don't work. I think the texture of the gel is the big thing I'm looking for- the Ouidad was kinda liquidy, almost slimy, and gave a lot of slip, which is perfect for how I style my hair.. I don't really mind if it's crunchy once dry or not-at this point, I'd rather crunchy curls over undefined, frizzy ones. I haven't figured out how to sleep on my curls yet without it turning into a tangled rat's nest (Right now I have to detangle, braid, and put in a bonnet every night) and I still have to re-style my curls every morning, so I need it to be lightweight & not-flaky while still giving a lot of hold. It can't have any non-water-soluble silicones, either (they make my scalp flake like crazy). If a routine would help, I fully wash my hair once a week with the Cantu Sulfate-free Cleansing Cream shampoo and Aluram coconut water moisturizing shampoo, and then use either the Shea Moisture Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Masque or the Shea Moisture Manuka Honey & Yogurt Protein Power Treatment, depending on what my hair needs more. I rinse out my hair using just water & one of the two masks twice a week besides the full wash day, and I style on soaking wet hair using Skala Babosa (the Aloe Vera one in the teal tub), and a gel, finger rolled and normally a headband in the front to keep my hair out of my face. Can anyone help me? Gel reccomendations are preferred, but I'll take any help I can get.  (I know this is really long & dense to read. I'm sorry about that, this is my first Reddit post and summarizing stuff has never been a strength of mine.)

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_1sjvddl", "text": "Hi,\n\nFirst time posting, and at 25 years of age with a lifetime of issues I apologise for the rant, but there's a heck of a lot of built-up frustration from struggling with no answers. I have curly hair on both sides of the family, mine's always been curly. It has, however, ALWAYS been frizzy. No matter what I use! I got compared to Hermione from the first movie growing up, for context of what I'm dealing with here. It's gotten better now that I have layers in (and a wolf cut) and I'm scrunching after the shower, but the frizz is still bad and the curls don't curl evenly. Some parts curl, some parts don't, I'm losing my mind.\n\nCurrently my hair is bleach/dyed, which I know dries it out so I've been using argan oil etc etc. \n\nSo my current routine, once a week, is:\n\n\\-Shampoo (OGX colour protect)\n\n\\-Condition (OGX argan/moroccan oil conditioner (the blue one))\n\n\\-Aussie 3-minute miracle moisture conditioner (once every other week)\n\n\\-Brush, then scrunch in hair towel to remove excess moisture\n\n\\-Wrap in hair towel, leave for a couple hours\n\n\\-Unwrap and air dry overnight\n\nI also have Aussie's \"Work that curl\" serum (the blue and yellow bottles), Pantene's Argan infused oil treatment, and Clean Curls' detangling water, all of which I use daily in the morning. I've also tried Hello Curls' curl primer with no success. I tried using a bonnet, but that just made my hair knot/curl weirdly, so I stopped because even after brushing it made my hair look matted.\n\n I CANNOT handle a blowdryer on any setting. It drives me insane. It makes me overheat almost immediately, and it's so overstimulating.\n\nI've tried putting in Cantu's curling cream and a few other things that slip my mind. N.O.T.H.I.N.G gets rid of the frizz! And my hair won't curl evenly- it has layers in, but while the top layer will curl the bottom, longest layer hangs awkwardly limp and halfway between wavy/straight. Sometimes the sides will do that too and then it just looks unwashed.\n\n  \nThe CGM methods I've seen all involve dunking your head into a bowl (can't- disabled) or drying with a hairdryer (again- no) or both. Not to mention, while the rest of the tips seem helpful (scrunching my beloved) they only cover wash days and not the entire rest of the week! I've seen advice to brush your hair, not brush your hair, wet and then brush it, brush it dry, brush with a comb, use your fingers, use a padded brush, a fine tooth comb- anything and everything under the SUN and none of the brushes seem to make a difference on my hair. If I don't brush it, it gets tangled and looks matted and messy. But it's so frizzy and I can't get control of it no matter what, not to mention I have yet to find advice on how to look after your hair for the rest of the week! \n\nMy friend recommended me an Olaplex product which she says will help, but it's \u00a330 for a tiny bottle. I don't have that kind of money to drop on another product that probably won't work. I know stress affects it, but ironically, no control over my hair stresses me out! It's so easy for my hair to look dirty- I tried putting in Aussie's Work That Curl cream before, which is a leave-in cream to give you curls, right? My hair was CRUNCHY and clumped together to look so, so, SO greasy and dirty.\n\nI feel completely hopeless. I just want nice hair. I don't know why it's so frizzy. Please. Any help. I don't enjoy being compared to Hagrid. I've tried so many things over the past but learning to manage this (as you can probably tell) is so overwhelming, especially when showers are already so difficult for me as it is.", "author": "anon_c3c53bdf", "created_utc": 1776039829, "created_iso": "2026-04-13T00:23:49Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/curlyhair/comments/1sjvddl/cgm_help_rest_of_the_weekfrizz_help/", "community": "curlyhair", "score": 1, "parent_id": null, "title": "CGM help- rest of the week/frizz help?", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "slip", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:55:48Z"}

Last month, I cut off around 4 inches and tried to do a DIY curly cut because I thought it was a good way to get off a decent amount of damage while also maintaining a look that I like.\n\nMy hair has multiple patterns in part from the heat damage and in part because that\u2019s how it naturally grows. It\u2019s just a little frustrating to style.\n\nI also have multiple porosities on my head, with my crown having low porosity, the middle/back having medium, and the ends having high porosity.\n\nI have medium thick strands, and medium density(?) I think.\n\nI get a TON of frizz at my roots, even when the hair is wet, and last wash day I tried a new routine out but I swear it made my problems worse. And I used very hot water this last wash day because the water temperature in my college dorm hasn\u2019t been mediating itself lol but that might be part of the reason.\n\nI want the hair defined but still soft, and with controlled volume. So not flat on my head but not fluff that I didn\u2019t specifically style if that makes any sense.

I used to use the DevaCurl, but it is super heavy, so I just recently changed to this and it gives more lift.  \n\n\nSometimes used instead of the above:  \n\\- Deep Conditioner:  When I need to deep condition, I will sometimes use the Curlsmith Bond Repair Deep Conditioner or sometimes the Olaplex #3, depending on what I've got going on.  \n\\- Detox:  I do also like the Curlsmith Detox Shampoo, I like the lather I get when using it with the Pre-Wash Primer better than I do the Ouidad Detox, but both are great.\n\nI do not style soaking wet because it tends to weigh down my hair - I micro-plop with a microfiber towel, particularly at the back of my head which takes forever to diffuse.\n\nStyling:  \n\\- Leave-In:  I usually use a leave-in, unless I did a deep conditioner.  I tend to like the Innersense leave-in over a heavier item like the Curlsmith.  \n\\- Heat Protection:  Curlsmith Miracle Shield  \n\\- Foam:  I next use just a little bit of the Innsersense \"I Create Lift\" Volumizing Foam at the roots for volume there.

My 4-year-old has curly hair that tangles extremely easily to the point where it starts to mat and form almost dreadlock-type tangles if we don\u2019t stay on top of it constantly, and she also has a very sensitive scalp. Dealing with it causes a lot of distress for her, and it\u2019s gotten to the point where it feels unfair to keep putting her through it.\n\nNo one in my family has this type of hair, so I feel like I\u2019m kind of figuring this out blindly. I\u2019ve posted in a few mom groups already, but I\u2019m trying here because I\u2019m thinking we might need more curly hair-specific advice.\n\nUp until now she hasn\u2019t wanted to cut it, but last night she said she does. I\u2019m completely fine with that, but the styles she likes aren\u2019t super short, so I\u2019m worried we\u2019re still going to be dealing with at least some of this.\n\nWe\u2019ve really tried everything at this point.\n\nRoutine:\nWe wash with Fairy Tales Super Charged Detangling Shampoo and Conditioner. We detangle in the bath with conditioner in, going very slowly and holding sections so we\u2019re not pulling her scalp, and I\u2019ve also tried finger detangling. After the bath, while her hair is still wet, we go in again with a detangling spray (Unite 7 Seconds has worked the best so far) and gently detangle more if needed. We never brush it dry. I\u2019ve also tried probably 10+ different brushes and combs, and keeping everything as calm and low-pressure as possible, but it still turns into a struggle almost every time.\n\nFor leave-ins and detanglers, we\u2019ve tried Baby Bum, SoCozy (both the curl leave-in and the detangler), Unite 7 Seconds, It\u2019s a 10, Marc Anthony Grow Long, and Fairy Tales detangling sprays and conditioners. We\u2019ve also tried the usual suggestions like satin pillowcases and bonnets, but she refuses both.\n\nAt one point I even tried using a numbing spray on her scalp just to see if it would help, and it still didn\u2019t make enough of a difference.\n\nEven with all of that, it\u2019s still really upsetting for her every time we have to deal with it.\n\nI also just tried adding a silicone-based argan oil serum (HerStyler Hair Serum) for the first time last night and today, just hoping it might help with slip. I\u2019m not sure yet if it\u2019s helping, but the smell is really strong, so if this is a good type of product to keep using, I\u2019d love suggestions for better ones that aren\u2019t so heavily scented.\n\nAt this point I\u2019m open to anything. Haircut ideas that actually help with tangling for curly hair, routines, or anything we might not have tried for a really sensitive scalp.\n\nI honestly don\u2019t even know what her hair type would be, but here\u2019s a picture of it right now.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_1rbmuoz", "text": "Guys, the hype for the Miche Gel-to-Foam Styling Mousse is absolutely warranted. This products is amazing. I have the anti-humidity gel and it\u2019s good, but I wasn\u2019t as blown away by it as I am with the mousse. \n\nFor context I have 2c, low porosity hair. My hair bas a mixture of some fine/smoother pieces, but the majority of it is very coarse and hard to work with. I also have a hall of baby hairs that are super coarse and curly. They will not pay down for the life of me. Even when drenched in water, they still stick up. \n\nMy hair normally takes an insane amount of water while styling. I end my routine drenched. My hair also requires a decent amount of moisture and slip, so leave in conditioner is a non negotiable. \n\nI always see products advertised as a \u201cone-and-done\u201d product. Being so moisturizing you don\u2019t even need leave in conditioner. I never believe it and always end up using at least the product and some leave in. I think even the Miche Anti Humidity Gel said the same- it\u2019s very much needs more. \n\nThis Gel-to-Foam Styling Mousse has literally blown me away. All my expectations were met. I did still use a leave in conditioner, but I am very confident that even if I didn\u2019t I\u2019d be ok without. It is insanely moisturizing and gives good slip. I do think it would be a good \u201cone-and-done\u201d product. I also have been able to use drastically less water than normal. I literally went from using 2-3 bottles of water to barely 1- probably about half the spray bottle. My curls were defined and voluminous. All the frizz and coarse baby hairs were manageable (there\u2019s always gonna be some, but it was definitely not as bad as normal). My hair looked amazing. \n\nIt doesn\u2019t create a cast like a normal gel, but there definitely was hold. My curls lasted a lot longer than normal. But you could definitely add a gel on top- I have been planning on my next wash trying that. Also re-wetting my hair, to fix pieces reactivated the product pretty well. At one point on hair wash day, I had got under the water and went to take a brush to my hair like normal. I\u2019m not normally \u201cfighting\u201d with my hair. I do brush carefully and usually with some product in for detangling. My hair texture also allows me to detangle my hair a lot easier and quicker. But with me rewetting the mousse, my hair glided through my hair like butter. I was shocked.  \n\nThis product has very quickly become a holy grail for me. I don\u2019t think I will ever go back to not using this. I definitely want to try some of their other products. I highly recommend getting it if you have been thinking about it!\n\nThe bot wants a routine, so here it is. \n\nRoutine: \n\nIn the shower I started with the BondiBoost HG Clarifying Scalp Rinse. This was my first time trying it. No opinions about it, but I love BondiBoost and many of their products are amazing. For shampoo I used the As I Am Rosemary line. I also use the conditioner, but skipped it this time in place of the BondiBoost HG Miracle Hair Mask (I love this mask). I used the Tangle Teezer to detangle and distribute products throughout my hair. \n\nOut of the shower I used the Ouidad Moisture Lock leave in conditioner (also new product. I really like it). I applied a dime-ish size on each side of my head and used my Tangle Teezer to spread the product. Applied about 2-ish pumps of the Miche Gel-to-Foam Styling Mousse on each side. Went back in with Tangle Teezer. Sectioned my hair and used the Bounce Curl Volume brush. After brush styling is scrunched excess water out with the Bread Beauty hair towel and plopped with a hair plopping wrap. Had it up for maybe 20-30 minutes. Took it out and air dried.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_1ra25d9", "text": "Hi everyone, I'm in need of some advice or product recommendations; primarily conditioner and 1-2 styling products. For the last 3 years I have been on an exhausting journey to find truly fragrance free products that make my curls look, at the very least, decent-ish. I have very fine hair that is prone to frizz and without products with a lot of slip, my hair looks like an absolute mess. For a long time I was using Innersense I Create Volume and it gave me the most gorgeous, smooth, shiny, well-defined curls of my life. Sadly, due to contact allergies I had to stop using it. I have tried so many products and have switched back and forth because the reviews were so positive, but my experience with them was very much lacking.\n\n  \nCurrently, I don't have a very set routine as I have been cycling in and out of products, but this is what I am currently using:\n\n1. Shampoo 1x a week (more or less as needed) with SEEN shampoo.\n\n2. Condition daily with Ouidad Unbreakable Bonds Fragrance-Free conditioner (pretty sure I'm allergic to this and will be removing it from my routine)\n\n3. Apply SEEN Curly Cream and Color WOW Dream Coat for Curly Hair. \n\n4. Scrunch out excess water and plop in hair towel before air drying. \n\n  \nThis routine is kind of meh and only about 50% of the overall satisfaction I'm looking for, but its the best I've come up with so far. As far as other products I've used, its as follows:\n\n  \n\\* VaniCream/Free & Clear Shampoo and Conditioner -- Shampoo completely stripped my hair and I had to use an enormous amount of the conditioner to keep my hair soft.\n\n\\*VaniCream/Free & Clear Styling Gel -- Way too heavy even in small amounts. Left my hair limp and crunchy even after scrunching all day. \n\n\\* Innersense Clarity Shampoo and Conditioner -- Worked really well but ended up being allergic to it. \n\n\\* LOVE UR CURLS 3-in-1 Styling product -- Too sticky and left my hair frizzy and limp. \n\n\\* Curlsmith Fragrance Free Conditioner -- Definitely NOT fragrance free. Contained allergens. \n\n\\* SEEN Conditioner -- Again, had to use a bunch of it to achieve a desirable effect. \n\n\\* SEEN Hair Serum -- Even one drop mixed in with other products left my hair greasy. \n\n\\* Color WOW Dream Coat -- Truly fragrance free and helped with frizz, but it left my hair a bit shapeless on its own. \n\n\n\nWhat I have recently tried but have yet to fully incorporate into my routine:\n\n\\* The Ordinary Behentrimonium Chloride 2% Conditioner -- Read a lot of revies about how it was very high slip and made curls look great. However, my experience has been that it is NOT high slip and didn't leave my hair very soft. \n\n\\*FRAGFRE Styling Gel -- Read that it was a very strong hold and to water it down. Tried it straight and cut with other products. Either way the application of it left my hair limp and very... poofy? \n\n\n\nPlease help.

Wash day used to be an actual nightmare that I'd put off until my hair was basically one giant knot.\n\nThe biggest problem for me is sectioning. I'd try to apply the product evenly but without proper clips, half my hair would just fall back down while I was working on another part. Some pieces ended up drenched in leave-in conditioner while others barely got touched. The end result was always this frizzy, uneven mess that made me want to cry.\n\nI tried using whatever I had around the house. Those big claw clips were too weak, they'd slip right out. The smaller ones were too tight and left these awful dents that ruined my curl pattern. Bobby pins were a complete joke. They'd just disappear into my hair like they never existed.\n\nThen I saw this girl on Instagram with her wash day routine and she had these perfect little sections all clipped up neatly. I commented asking what she used and she told me they're just basic sectioning clips that actually grip without creasing.\n\nShe mentioned she got a big pack online for cheap, like 24 clips for around $12 from some wholesale beauty supplier.\n\nI found a similar set on Alibaba and went for it. My hair actually stayed where I put it. I could see what I was doing for the first time ever. The product went on evenly. My curls dried with actual definition instead of that half-done look I'd gotten used to.\n\nWash day went from this two-hour frustrating ordeal to one focused hour where I actually felt in control.

AG's Re-Coil Curl Activator has been a game changer, so i've been wanting to try their gel mousse but haven't found at a store near me yet.\n5. after styling i blow dry my hair to probably, realistically, about 40-50% dry with Infiniti Pro Conair Hair Dryer + diffuser attachment. even with the strong hold gel, that's about as much as i can blow dry it without introducing frizz (sob).\n6. i sleep with a Moonstone 7 satin sleeper hair bonnet on (it was about $70 but i am an extremely restless sleeper and it almost always stays on my head the whole night through) and silk pillowcases underneath that.\n7. on day 2 hair, i use the Infiniti PRO by CONAIR Steam Therapy Hair Steamer + diffuser attachment to spruce up my curls a little bit, then rub a bit of Re-Coil Curl Activator with water between my hands to scrunch and set.\n\n\n\nif you have fine curly hair and are still with me after all that, i desperately want to know if only making it two days without having to wash/re-wet is normal for you. by the end of day two my hair is so tangled and frizzy that i don't dare let it go any longer without re-wetting and detangling, and i always lose a big ol handful of hair doing it. if that's normal for most people with fine curly hair i can live with it, but if it's a matter of better products, what should i try?\n\ni also know that hair is more easily damaged when wet and it's not great to always have to re-wet it in order for it to look good, because you can get trapped in a vicious cycle of \"it only looks good when I re-wet it\" --> rewetting it --> it gets more damaged because of the time it spends wet and looks worse dry, making you think you need to re-wet it-->ad infinitum.\n\nsimilar question about blowdrying. if you have fine curly hair, are you actually able to blow dry it 100% dry without introducing frizz? do i need a better blowdryer? stronger gel? my hair takes forever to dry the other 50-60%, and i hate how it looks stuck to my head while it's still in the gel cast during this time. i feel like a drowned cat.", "author": "anon_57816867", "created_utc": 1771292906, "created_iso": "2026-02-17T01:48:26Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/curlyhair/comments/1r6svwk/fine_curlyhaired_people_is_anyone_actually_making/", "community": "curlyhair", "score": 74, "parent_id": null, "title": "fine curly-haired people: is anyone actually making it past day 2 without washing/re-wetting? and can you actually blow dry your hair to 100% dry without frizz?", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "slip", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:55:48Z"}

But over the maybe 3yrs I've been using it, my hair has not grown an inch.\n\nI don't like the hair typing system, but just for reference:\nI have around 3c-4a hair.\nMedium density\nMedium porosity\nMedium strand thickness, although I've found some thicker strands & some thin strands of hair in my head.\nMy hair is all Virgin, no dye or bleach. (Pictures I post with hair color is hair wax, which is an product overlay, not a dye)\n\nWhen I use the brush, I make sure my hair is FULLY DETANGLED with a wide tooth comb & Tangle Teaser before styling with it. I'm positive it's not user error that there's lots of hair stuck on the brush & that my ends are splitting. I find myself having to trim more often than most because my hair starts feeling rough.\n\nI only straighten my hair approximately 1-2xs a year in the Winter because I live in the South. I straightened my hair for my birthday in January & decided since it was straightened, it would be easier to see any damage. I used the search & destroy method to go through as many sections of hair as possible & snip off damage. The amount of single strand knots, split ends, breakage & even keyhole splits I had in my hair was insane.\n\nKeyhole splits in particular, I read, are mostly caused by mechanical damage, i.e. brush styling, high tension, pulling & playing in your hair too much, etc. I'm almost certain most of this damage & the breakage is coming from the Bounce Curl Brush & I'm going to stop using it to see if this is the cause of the breakage. \n\nRoutine & Products:\n\n1) Pre-wash detangle using a wide tooth comb on damp hair & a light leave-in conditioner to provide slip.\n2) Shampoo with Tresemm\u00e9 Rich Moisture.

It\u2019s been over 5 years since I grew out my hair from literally 1 cm and it is now just past my waist when stretched. This routine has been optimized for fine textured, dense, 4a-c hair:\n\n1) The most important step\u2014 I detangle with african pride pre poo AND aussie miracle moist conditioner. The combination gives INCREDIBLE slip that is akin to detangling in the shower, but without wasting all that water. I finger detangle, then use the tangle teezer for fine and fragile hair, as well as the unbrush (depending on how fine textured the section of hair is).

I shampoo and deep condition my hair while is in twists. The trick is to twist it so that the twists are loose in the roots, but firmer in the mid shaft and ends. \n\n3) I towel dry and apply camille rose butter gel and chebe-infused hair grease (I literally mix a chebe pomade I found on etsy with Softee hair grease). \n\nChebe is works wonders length retention and is a ritualistic beauty practice for women in Chad.  \n\nI braid my hair in a couple braids overnight, then twist it then next night so I can have a bomb twist out.

It depends on the humidity in the air, because glycerin and dry winter air doesn\u2019t always mix! \n\nMonthly\u2014I do a protein treatment with Curlsmith bond repair, and clarify my hair with the Strands of Faith clarifying mask.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_1pcb5wj", "text": "The Natural Hair Reset: A Focused Guide for Coils, Kinks, and Curls from R/TheNaturalJourney\n\n\u200bIntroduction: Why You Need a Reset, Not a Product Hoard\n\n\u200bYou\u2019ve been there: the bathroom cabinet overflowing with half-used jars, the graveyard of products that promised definition, moisture, and growth, but delivered only frustration and buildup. If you have Type 3c-4c hair, you know the struggle is real, often exacerbated by a beauty industry that frequently excludes or misunderstands our textures. This isn't just a hair guide; it's a reset.\n\u200bThe core problem isn't your hair\u2014it's the system. It\u2019s the marketing aimed at looser textures, the generic ingredients that coat rather than penetrate, and the constant cycle of buying products that don't address the specific needs of coily and kinky strands. We are resetting two things: your hair and your mindset. Over the next few chapters, we will cleanse your scalp and strands, simplify your routine, and most importantly, equip you with the knowledge to read labels like a boss, so you never fall for marketing hype again. This reset is about moving from confusion to clarity, from dependency to mastery, and truly celebrating the natural crown you wear.\n\n\u200bChapter 1: The Great Detox: Stripping Down to Basics\n\u200bBefore you can begin to effectively moisturize and grow your hair, you must remove the barriers. Many \"heavy\" creams, butters, and some popular conditioners designed for general curly hair contain ingredients that sit on top of your low-porosity coils, leading to dullness, dryness, and breakage. This chapter is your blueprint for the Great Detox.\n\n\u200bThe Detox Steps (The First 30 Days):\n\u200b1. The Final Wash: Removing Buildup\n\u200bUse a clarifying, sulfate-based shampoo (yes, sulfates!) one last time. This step is non-negotiable. Its purpose is to completely strip away all silicones, heavy mineral oils, and synthetic waxes that have built up over time. If your hair feels dry immediately after, that\u2019s proof the cleanse worked. Follow this immediately with a deep conditioner.\n\n\u200b2. Ban the Heavies\n\u200bFor the duration of the reset, put away all heavy hair butters (like shea butter and cocoa butter) and pure oils (like coconut or mineral oil). While these have their place, they are often misused and can clog the hair shaft during the reset phase. Focus on lighter humectants and moisturizers.\n\n\u200b3. The One-Product Test\n\u200bAfter the final wash, use only one moisturizing leave-in conditioner or styling cream for your entire wash day routine for at least two weeks. This helps you isolate which product is actually performing, rather than guessing which one of your ten products is responsible for the result.\n\n\u200bChapter 2: Decoding Ingredients: Active Agents and Red Flags\n\n\u200bMastery over ingredients is your key to purchasing power. We look for two kinds of ingredients: the foundational moisturizers that seal the strand, and the advanced active agents that optimize the scalp and follicle for growth.\n\u200bThe 'Non-Negotiable' List (What to Seek):\n\u200bWater (Aqua): Always the first ingredient. If it isn't, put the bottle down. Water is the only true moisturizer.\n\n\u200bHumectants (Glycerin, Aloe Vera, Propylene Glycol): These draw moisture from the air into the hair shaft. Essential for keeping coils plump and hydrated.\n\n\u200bEmollients (Cetearyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, Jojoba Oil, Olive Oil): These are 'fatty alcohols' or light plant oils (used correctly) that soften the hair and prevent water loss. They are critical for managing friction and reducing breakage.\n\u200bHydrolyzed Proteins (Keratin, Wheat, Silk): Look for these when your hair feels weak or mushy. They temporarily patch gaps in the hair shaft, providing strength.\n\n\u200bThe Power of Active Treatments (Peptides & Niacinamide)\n\u200bThese ingredients are typically found in scalp serums, not styling products. They work by improving the environment where hair is born.\n\n\u200bPeptides: Think of these as the \"building blocks\" for your follicles. They signal the scalp to increase collagen and keratin production around the root. This strengthens the hair anchor, potentially reducing shedding and supporting overall density. Look for products labeled \"Hair Density Serum\" or \"Scalp Treatment.\"\n\n\u200bNiacinamide (Vitamin B_3): This acts as a powerful scalp balancer. It reduces inflammation, regulates sebum (oil) production, and improves the skin barrier of the scalp. A calm, balanced scalp is the optimal environment for strong, undisturbed hair growth.\n\n\u200bThe 'Watch List' (Use Sparingly or Avoid):\n\u200bHeavy Silicones (Dimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane): These smooth the cuticle but require a strong clarifying shampoo (sulfates) to remove, or they build up and block moisture.\n\u200bMineral Oil / Petrolatum: Cheap fillers that coat the hair, giving the illusion of moisture while actually preventing real water-based moisturizers from penetrating the shaft.\n\n\u200bParabens (Methylparaben, Propylparaben): Primarily used as preservatives. While widely debated, many users prefer to avoid them. Choose products with alternative preservatives like phenoxyethanol if you are sensitive.\n\n\u200bChapter 3: The Moisture Matrix: Structuring Your Wash Day\n\u200bWash day is the foundation of the Natural Hair Reset. We are flipping the script: instead of detangling after shampooing when hair is stripped and vulnerable, we detangle before with a potent, natural pre-poo.\n\n\u200b1. Pre-Poo Power: Slip, Strength, and Detangling\n\u200bPre-poo is a treatment applied to dry hair before shampooing. Its primary job is to provide slip to detangle and create a protective barrier that reduces how much the shampoo strips the hair of its natural oils.\n\n\u200bRecipe Spotlight: Flaxseed Gel Pre-Poo\n\u200bFlaxseed gel is a natural marvel, providing unparalleled slip for detangling knots gently, which is the key to length retention.\n\u200bPreparation: Simmer \\text{1/4} cup of flaxseeds in 2 cups of water until the mixture thickens into a slippery, egg-white consistency (about 8-10 minutes).\n\n\u200bApplication: Strain the gel into a bowl. Working in small sections on dry hair, saturate the strands with the warm gel, focusing on the ends.\n\u200bDetangle: Use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to gently detangle each section. The flaxseed provides natural mucilage that makes knots melt away.\n\n\u200bWait Time: Leave the flaxseed gel on for 20-30 minutes before rinsing lightly and proceeding to the next step.\n\n\u200b2. The Shampoo & Deep Conditioning\n\u200bShampoo: Focus cleanser primarily on the scalp. Allow the rinse-off to clean the length of your hair to avoid unnecessary stripping.\n\u200bDeep Conditioning: This is where you restore moisture lost during cleansing. Apply a quality deep conditioner to damp hair, cover with a plastic cap, and use heat (a steamer or hooded dryer) for 30 minutes to maximize product penetration.\n\n\u200b3. The Fenugreek Hair Mask (Protein/Moisture Balance)\n\u200bFenugreek (or Methi seeds) is a powerhouse of protein, amino acids, and nicotinic acid. It\u2019s an effective natural strengthening treatment that reduces shedding and can promote growth.\n\u200bRecipe Spotlight: Fenugreek & Coconut Milk Strengthening Mask\n\n\u200bThis mask provides a necessary protein boost while keeping the strands flexible.\n\u200bPreparation: Soak \\text{1/4} cup of fenugreek seeds in water overnight. Blend the soaked seeds with 1 cup of coconut milk or aloe vera juice until a thick, smooth paste forms. Add a tablespoon of honey for added humectant moisture.\n\u200bApplication: After deep conditioning (or in place of it, depending on your hair's needs that week), apply the paste liberally from root to tip.\n\n\u200bWait Time: Cover your hair with a cap for \\text{30-60} minutes.\n\u200bRinsing Tip: Fenugreek residue can be tricky. Rinse thoroughly with water, and follow up with a light conditioner to help remove any remaining grit.\n\n\u200bChapter 4: Length Retention: The Science of Low Manipulation\n\u200bEvery strand of hair is always growing, but your goal isn't just to grow hair\u2014it's to retain length. This is the key difference between seeing constant shedding and seeing actual progress. Length retention is a numbers game: we must ensure that the hair we grow from the scalp doesn't break off at the ends. \n\n\u200bThe Growth vs. Retention Equation\n\u200bYour hair grows at a consistent rate, generally about \\text{0.5} inches per month, controlled by genetics, nutrition, and scalp health (where our Peptides and Niacinamide focus comes in).\n\u200bHowever, what you see is your Retained Length.\n\u200bIf you grow \\text{0.5} inches, but \\text{0.5} inches of older hair breaks off, your visible length gain is zero (\\text{0}).\n\n\u200bThe goal of Low Manipulation is to ensure that \\text{0.4} inches of that new growth is kept.\n\u200bThe oldest, most fragile part of your hair is the ends. If these ends are constantly being rubbed against clothes, manipulated during styling, or damaged by split ends, they break off at the same rate the hair grows\u2014creating the illusion that your hair has \"stopped growing.\"\n\n\u200bThe Three Pillars of Low Manipulation\n\u200bThe primary cause of breakage in coily hair is mechanical damage (friction and tension). Low manipulation is your defense system, designed to reduce how often and how roughly you touch your hair.\n\n\u200b1. Minimize Detangling Sessions (The Pre-Poo Priority)\n\u200bDetangling is the most dangerous activity for your hair. Every time you pull a comb through a knot, you risk snapping multiple strands.\n\u200bThe Solution: Increase the gap between detangling sessions (ideally, only on wash day). By using a high-slip agent like our Flaxseed Gel Pre-Poo before you even start cleansing, you dramatically reduce the force needed to separate the strands. This single practice is one of the most effective ways to retain length.\n\n\u200b2. Protective Styling (Hands-Off Defense)\n\u200bProtective styles are your best friends because they keep the vulnerable ends of your hair tucked away from the environment and your hands.\n\u200bEnds Tucked: Styles like braids, twists, buns, or simple high-ponytails shield the ends from friction with collars, scarves, and coats.\n\u200bReduced Frequency: They also naturally extend the time between styling sessions. If you manipulate your hair every day, you cause friction 365 days a year. If you keep it in a protective style for four weeks and then style it once a week, you've significantly reduced the total stress.\n\n\u200b3. The Critical Role of Trims\n\u200bThis is the most misunderstood aspect of length retention. Trims DO NOT make your hair grow faster (growth happens at the root), but they DO make your hair break slower.\n\u200bThe Split End Problem: A split end is damage that travels upward. If you leave a split end, it will break further and further up the hair shaft until it meets healthy hair, causing you to lose several inches over time.\n\u200bTrimming as Damage Control: A consistent micro-trim (every 3-4 months) removes the damage at its lowest point, stopping the split end from traveling. This allows the healthy hair grown over the last few months to be retained, leading to visible length gains.\n\n\u200bConclusion: Length retention is not a mystery; it is a discipline. By focusing on low manipulation, proper detangling (Pre-Poo!), and timely trims, you directly control the breakage rate, allowing the hair that is constantly growing to finally show up in your mirrors and length checks.", "author": "anon_2208ca65", "created_utc": 1764688883, "created_iso": "2025-12-02T15:21:23Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/curlyhair/comments/1pcb5wj/the_natural_hair_reset_a_focused_guide_for_coils/", "community": "curlyhair", "score": 0, "parent_id": null, "title": "The Natural Hair Reset: A Focused Guide for Coils, Kinks, and Curls", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "slip", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:55:48Z"}

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_1rxuws4", "text": "So, I have a question regarding silicones and sulfates when using hair extensions. I've been using extensions for a couple of years now, and I've alwas heard that silicones (especially dimethicone and other non water soluble silicones) should be avoided, and that sulfates should be avoided due to stripping moisture of the hair. Although, it's commonly recommended to use a deep cleaning shampoo with tape in extensions, as it's important that the scalp stays clean because the tapes can tend to make the scalp extra dirty + if the scalp is too oily, it can dissolve the glue (so I've heard). \n\nI've never been afraid of silicones in haircare, but I tend to stay away from silicones when I have extensions, because I want to do what's recommended. \n\nBut, on later days, I've wondered a lot about if silicones and sulfates really ARE that bad for extensions? Like, the silicone gives the hair that extra slip + capsulate moisture, and the sulfates work wonders to clean the scalp so it stays clean and gives the tape a better enviroment. Like, the hair on the extensions are as dead as the rest of the hair on ones head, so why would silicones and sulfates cause EXTRA damage to the extensions?\n\nI've tried to find sources regarding the claim that silicones are bad for extensions, but I can only find hair salons, or brands that sell products that are specifically made for extensions - and they all claim that silicones just makes the hair of the extensions tangle more because of the build up.

Been enjoying learning about haircare from Hairkingcallum who is a hair stylist from the UK and has an educational channel on tiktok and youtube. He is someone that seems to have done a lot of thorough research and has a lot of experience with various different curly hair types. And he's talked about the misconceptions about hair care branding: how often times products are labeled as \"moisture\" and \"hydration\" and with heavy oils, curly hair methods and products are actually causing a lot of buildup in hair, not using sulfates, going without shampooing and only rinsing and conditioning, etc. and how all these are actually affecting the health of a lot of curly people's hair. He also has a lot of experience with different hair textures and makes educational videos for other people to learn about. \n\nCallum raves about Innersense because they contain a lot of humectants and little to no oils. But many cannot afford that hairline. Here's a reference video for anyone who is not familiar with the hair principles/science that Callum discusses and may want to explore. He goes into more detail in this youtube video:\u00a0[https://youtu.be/U13hQKbhkSk?si=6dTKjCAr-thBxFZb](https://youtu.be/U13hQKbhkSk?si=6dTKjCAr-thBxFZb)\n\nCallum talks a lot about how it's important to shampoo your hair with a shampoo that is clarifying first (and run your fingers through sections to thoroughly emulsify the shampoo and open the cuticle to allow water to enter), and then follow with a \"hydrating\" shampoo or a shampoo that has plenty of \"slip\" (I know that in the rules of this subreddit that moisture is not based in science, but I simply need to use the word because that is the word Callum uses verbatim), and then follow with a conditioner, and then a gel that has humectants in it. The only thing is, he is not clear on specifically what ingredients in products serve these purposes. He's talked about the importance of humectants in products and especially the gels. But it is still not clear what ingredients to look for in these specific products for each step, and simply recommends Innersense.\n\nFeel free to check out his videos. I'm sorry if I may not have explained myself in the most scientifically comprehensive way.\n\nThanks experts!\n\n", "author": "anon_14c19b29", "created_utc": 1752902587, "created_iso": "2025-07-19T05:23:07Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/HaircareScience/comments/1m3o6s5/alternatives_to_innersense_based_in_hair_science/", "community": "HaircareScience", "score": 6, "parent_id": null, "title": "Alternatives to Innersense based in hair science?

I imagine it depends on curl type as well.\n\nI have 3a- 3b curls and I have tried both throughout my life and people love to lecture about it one way or the other. but if you are carefully detangling, from ends to roots, starting with a wide comb or flexible brush, is it actually damaging to curly hair to brush it? why would that be?\n\nyou can usually feel the pull when hair is too tangled or the stretching if it is wet, or even hear and feel the snap if it breaks. when feeling any tension at all you shouldnt just  continue with force anyways, so if you dont force it an carefully work away at tangles from the bottom is it still damaging? why?\n\nthen in terms of wet vs dry, wet brushing the hair stretches more, unsure if that leads to more or less breakage because Ive seen hair stylists say both, or one dor straight bit the opposite for curls.\n\nmore recently I saw some say any combing or brushing on curls is damaging even when it is not tangled just due to friction. I tried looking up in this sub history but couldnt quite find what I was looking for in terms of damage.\n\nobviously if you dry brush curls the hair will become poofy but in my mind that doesnt explain if its damaged or not its just curl separation and maybe static. and for wet brushing I think it can be harder to read the cues of your hair when wet and then you may overstretch it but conditioners can help slip actual tangles apart better.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_14p3lik", "text": "Hey everyone! So I\u2019m 29F and it\u2019s been a lifelong dream to have long, waist-length hair. But, no matter how many times I rearrange my hair regimen and go to a hairdresser for a TRIM, each hair dresser ends up CUTTING it slightly above armpit length. I really don\u2019t understand what I\u2019m doing wrong. And I know it\u2019s a retention issue and not a \u201cmax hair length\u201d issue because I did dye my hair in Dec 2021, and I still have like 1-inch of color at the ends of some hair strands today. Idk what I\u2019m doing wrong\u2026  \nFYI, my hair type is 3C/4A, very dense, and I have low porosity hair. I\u2019m black, and both of my grandmothers had really long hair (past their waist).  \nIn November 2022, after another huge trim, I got a bit fed up and decided to do a strict regimen, hoping that I would retain my growth by mid 2023. However, I went to another hair salon yesterday, asked for a silk press and trim - and all of my progress got cut off again\u2026  \n  \nHere\u2019s my weekly wash day regimen. What am I doing wrong?:  \n1. Up until May 2023, I would first apply Olaplex 0 and 3 to my hair. Let it sit for a couple of hours.  \n2. Shampoo hair with Giovanni Tea Tree Invigorating Shampoo.  \n3. Condition with tgin rose water conditioner \n4. Deep condition with Bumble and Bumble Honey Bond Repair Conditioner. Deep conditioning either looks like keeping the conditioner in my hair for 5 minutes, or going under a hair steamer for 10 minutes.  \n5. Wrap my hair under a microfiber towel, and relax for about 10 minutes  \n6. Apply Living Proof Triple Bond Complex, (which is GREAT, btw). After applying, I semi-dry my hair with a blowdryer by just pointing the blowdryer to my hair (no brush/comb involved)  \n7. Then I section my hair, leaving out some hair and put 95% of it in braids. In each braiding section, I apply tgin rose water moisturizing leave in, and take my time detangling with a plastic comb from the bottom up (never ripping my hair out). If a section starts to get dry, then I rewet it so it can have extra slip.  \n8. Afterwards, I blowdry my hair if it\u2019s still wet, and attach a v-part wig, which I wear for the rest of the week.  \n  \nSome other stuff to note:  \n1. I always wear satin scrunchies, and always sleep on a satin pillowcase.  \n2. I\u2019m not deficient in anything, and I take a bunch of supplements daily (vitamin C, MSM, hyaluronic acid, vitamin D3 + K2, green shake mixed with collagen + biotin powder, etc)  \n3. I exercise at least 3 times a week.  \n4. I oil my scalp on wash days. At first I was using Mielle Organics Rosemary Oil, then I bought a growth mix on Etsy. I massage the oil on my scalp for 5+ minutes with my head inverted.  \n5. I bought a red light cap. I know, I was getting desperate. But I didn\u2019t use it frequently - maybe once a week for 20 minutes.  \n6. Every 2 months, I trimmed about 1/2 inch of hair.  \nEver since I started doing this regimen, I barely experience any breakage (or, broken short pieces of hair on the floor), so I\u2019m not sure why the stylist I saw yesterday cut my hair so short. There are 3 things I can think of:  \n1. I was SUPER stressed out this year. So maybe my hair growth was stunted in certain areas, and grew in others, which would give the appearance of breakage? IDK  \n2. Maybe my trims were uneven, since I would do trims on just-unbraided hair  \n3. I\u2019ve learned that my hair is sensitive to protein a couple months back. I tried the aphogee 2 step treatment, and my hair got super dry + was breaking a bit.  \nI need some advice :(", "author": "anon_2588b8fe", "created_utc": 1688343154, "created_iso": "2023-07-03T00:12:34Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/HaircareScience/comments/14p3lik/im_having_trouble_retaining_hair_length_please/", "community": "HaircareScience", "score": 1, "parent_id": null, "title": "I\u2019m having trouble retaining hair length - please critique my regimen", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "slip", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:56:15Z"}

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_zw781z", "text": "So, I know that hair care science is very lacking when it comes to African hair. I know there was a time in hair care where if a black person said that their hair wasn't like European or Asian hair and that they have to do different things, we would literally get eaten alive and told that we were wrong despite it being very apparent that our hair is completely and vastly different. I think these days there's a bit more (A BIT!) information but most of black hair care is still mainly anecdotal rather than scientific. \n\nAnyway, recently I've learned more about shaft of African hair. It is crazy wildly different than European and Asian hair. Basically we have super high porosity hair (and it is very highly unlikely that you can have African hair and low porosity although anything is possible... just not common). Our hair shaft naturally has many holes, is jagged and the cuticle layers are sporadic rather than neatly layered... It's hard for me to explain, but Natural Nadine explains it well since she has a background in science and has read and analyzed the articles.\n\nShe uses ACV to get her cuticles to lay flatter which is my goal. I want my cuticles to be less kinky and more shiny. Not only for aesthetics but because this will help make my hair less likely to snag, knot, and break (of course other things contribute to that but having hair strands that glide against eachother is a major factor. It's why 2 people can have type 3b hair but one is Afro textured and one is Euro textured so the euro textured hair is much easier to manage).\n\nI don't want to use ACV because I had a negative experience in the past and I'm worried about that happening again, but also hair products are tricky because mainstream hair products are formulated with the science of hair (which generally excludes us) and black hair care products are formulated by what we need anecdotally. For example, we know that we need slip and a lot of it to detangle our hair. Detangling causes a lot of breakage for us and we need wet slipperly hair to minimize that (I got chewed out once years ago on the main hair subreddit for saying I HAVE TO detangle my hair wet as a black person with type 4 hair and that it was in fact better and safer than detangling dry) so conditioners are generally made with ingredients that make the hair slippery. However there doesn't seem to be any products or at least not that I know of, hence this question, of how to combat the issues of our actual hair strands. It would be so much easier if we had products that addressed that instead of having to DIY (which can be dangerous) or having to try super super hard to combat your hair issues when products could and should be made to make the process of taking care of our hair much easier. There's even studies about the types of protein that is better and for African hair apparently keratin is not good for us (I forgot why, Natural Nadine talked about why). \n\nThe YouTuber I mentioned did find a single product (or line rather) called Redkin Acidic Bonding Concentrate Intensive Treatment. I live in South Korea and this product is not available here but I ended up buying the leave in (instead of the treatment because the treatment is a pre poo and I wanted something that could help after I finish washing and deep conditioning) from lovelyskin since they allowed me to ship it to a third party shipping company (many companies prevent this unfortunately... like ulta). I do plan on buying the entire line except the pre-poo when my current shampoo and conditioner run out and and after I move since it needs to be shipped all the way to SK. I also bought Alterna Bond Repair Caviar Anti Aging Hair Masque because even though I don't use heat often, from my observation very damaged Euro/Asian hair is kind of similar to how un damaged African hair acts. And this adds up when you see what African hair shafts/cuticles look under a microscope... pretty much what damaged hair looks like. I've also gotten olaplex done at a salon here in South Korea and left with dry completely matted hair (I called before hand to ask if they knew how to do Afro textured hair and they said yes lol... should've known better). The olaplex didn't seem to do anything but I'm not sure if that's cause the hair technician clearly was struggling to apply it to my hair or if it only works if your hair's disulfide bonds have been broken and since I didn't use heat or chemicals maybe mine weren't? But there are other types of bonds and issues with hair and the hair shaft so I want to find a product that can solve that. \n\nI know that my hair cannot transform into European or Asian hair, but I would really like a way to make my hair better. I think too many naturals think hair care is one size fits all for the most part, but if we were to look at peoples hair under a high powered microscope you would see that even if our hair is similar due to genetics, there are still significant differences that would alter people's routines (whether that's ingredients, haircare practices, etc.). Take porosity, for example. We might all have high porosity hair (especially if you consider the fact that we have to moisturize and REmoisturize our hair. That is why we can't just shampoo our hair and go like Euro and Asian people do and can. Our hair will immediately dry out if we put nothing on it. And be incredibly hard and be even more breakage and knot prone. And it even dries out with product hence the RE moisturize. And seal! Hence the applying of an occlusive layer on top of the moisturizer much like the SkinCareAddiction girlies like to do but on their face because the moisture will escape) but some people's hair is definitely more porous than others (basically there's levels to it or it's a spectrum). I know my hair is highly kinky and highly porous. I know I cannot do anything about the unevenness of the cuticle layers since that's a genetic disposition but I do know it's possible to temporarily change porosity so I would like to attempt to close my layers as much as possible, fill in the natural holes of our hair. Protein treatments were the main suggestion for this issue over the years but I don't find it to be that helpful and it's the end of 2022 so maybe there are better ingredients out now that would work better especially since I've just learned there's all these bonding products out now in the west... I'm American but have lived abroad for like 7 years. Hence why I bought the Alterna masque. I noticed all these new bonding products have different ingredients so since olaplex's didn't work for me maybe another type of bonding product will? I just wish I didn't have to struggle order it lol. \n\nOh and another thing that many people don't know is about cuticle layers! African hair has the least. Asian hair has the most. So it makes sense why our hair is so naturally prone to breakage even when we're so gentle and patient with our hair literally taking HOURS out of our day just to gently wash and detangle it....\nThis obviously isn't something that can be changed (but maybe there will be a product in the future that can artificially thicken cuticle layers but since it's only an African hair problem I kind of doubt any company would care to even develop one). \n\nI wrote a lot because I find the topic interesting and I wanted to add information and context to get better responses as well as suggestions.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_j647ro", "text": "I recently ordered a hair mask kit from Birchbox to use up my points and I got a lot of well-known products in there. I've been slowly using them up one at a time and wanted to post some reviews because these products are popular so someone else on here may have heard of them and be considering them!\n\nFor context: my hair is about bra-strap length, medium texture, pretty thick (as in lots of hair), wavy, and has been balayaged so it's a little damaged and dry. What I want in a hair mask is something that will make my hair soft, silky, and shiny with less frizz. I used the same shampoo (Biolage Exquisite Oil) and leave-in conditioner (Oribe Supershine Moisturizing cream) with every mask and always let my hair air dry.\n\n* **Davines The Renaissance Circle Mask, $10 for 1.69 oz**  -- this was definitely my least favorite which is too bad because I normally really like Davines. The smell was already off to a bad start. It was just too masculine to me. It was warm and spicy like cologne. Not bad, just not to my taste. The actual mask did not give me a lot of slip. It didn't do a great job untangling. When my hair dried, it looked all roughed-up with no shine and it just looked pretty dry. Too bad because it was one of the cheapest per ounce that I tried and the packaging is really neat. Overall, probably a 1.5/5.\n* **Oribe Gold Lust Transformative Masque, $66 for 5 oz** -- I was really hoping this one wouldn't be impressive because the price per ounce is RIDICULOUS! Unfortunately I totally loved it and it was probably my favorite. First it smelled great. Not the same as the Supershine Moisturizing Cream though -- to me it smelled exactly like Victoria's Secret Bombshell or maybe Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue. A really fresh, citrus, clean, floral scent. The slip was amazing in my hair and it untangled very well in the shower. But when my hair air dried, I really couldn't believe how smooth, shiny, and un-frizzy it was. This gave me the best results hands down but at over $13 per ounce, it is just so pricey, I'm not sure if I can stomach it. Definitely 5/5 performance though.\n* **Briogeo Be Gentle, Be Kind Avocado + Kiwi Mega Moisture Superfood Masque, $36 for 8oz** -- Finally getting to mask that's a better value in terms of price per ounce. I have mixed feelings about Briogeo products. I hate the Don't Despair, Repair mask which is so popular. It smells bad and makes my hair dry. But I love the Apple + Matcha shampoo and conditioner. This mask falls somewhere in between for me. The smell was incredibly artificial and almost sickly sweet. It reminded me of those old Beauty Rush body sprays from Victoria's Secret and was not at all what I would expect from this brand. As far as performance, it was honestly pretty good. It had good slip and untangled well. After air drying, my hair felt soft and silky, but not necessarily as shiny or smooth as with the Oribe. I don't feel like it really moisturized my hair more than any old conditioner, but I'm still glad I tried it. I would probably give it a 3.5/5, mainly because of the scent and it just didn't have the \"oomph\" I want in a hair mask.\n* **Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque, $22 for 16 oz** -- this is my all-time favorite hair mask so I needed to add it for comparison's sake! This is really expensive at Ulta, but you can get it at Sally Beauty for the price I mentioned, and even cheaper if you can find it at TJ Maxx which I pretty much always can. Even at Sally's price, though, it's an incredible value compared to everything else on here. This mask smells so good to me. It is a warm, creamy, slightly fruity scent that is just really sweet and delicious. The slip it gives in the shower is incredible. It moisturizes and untangles my hair so well, and when I rinse it out, my hair is super soft and silky. It doesn't make my hair as shiny and un-frizzy as the Oribe, but at 1/3 the price for 3x the product, it's hard to complain. This is a 4.5/5 for me (and was a 5/5 until I tried the Gold Lust mask).\n\nOverall, of the ones I tried in my kit so far, I'm not sure which I would purchase. If money were no object to me, I would get the Oribe. If I HAD to choose between one of them to buy, it would be the Briogeo for the price. But unfortunately I am not rich! I still have 3-4 more hair masks in my Birchbox kit to use up so you may see some more reviews from me in a few weeks.", "author": "anon_395f7fac", "created_utc": 1601987612, "created_iso": "2020-10-06T12:33:32Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/HaircareScience/comments/j647ro/mini_reviews_of_some_hair_masks/", "community": "HaircareScience", "score": 23, "parent_id": null, "title": "Mini reviews of some hair masks!", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "slip", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:56:15Z"}

Blow dry or flat iron BANGS ONLY. Just started using OKAY Black Jamaican Castor oil conditioner.\n\nJust had my hair trimmed (usually 3-4months, but covid so it was 6 months) and they used Redken Allsoft and extreme for bond repair\n\n**What I bought so far but have not used yet**: Olaplex 0 and 3, AG repair line-vitamin C reconstruct (contains: Dimethicone, Divinyldimethicone/Dimethicone Copolymer, Diphenylsiloxy Phenyl Trimethicone, Perfluorononyl Dimethicone, Dimethicone PEG-8 Meadowfoamate), AG repair line-slip vitamin c dry oil spray\n\n**Other info**: I know the whole CG routine and it's not for me.  I have used devacurl and stopped years ago because it made my scalp a scabby crusty mess, and my hair flat and lifeless--so please don't recommend that line. I believe my porosity is level 4 ([tutorial by manes by mell](https://youtu.be/yT383xYwEpU)). I am not opposed to using silicone, sulphates or even parabens. Because science.\n\n**Questions:**\n\nDo I have enough product going on here to **fortify, moisturize and condition** my hair so all of those crazy breakage leftovers can grow out again?\n\nHow do I make sure I don't end up with \"**moisture lockout**\"?\n\nShould I attempt a **protein treatment**? (at home--I can't go into salons where I live), if so recommendations please.\n\nHow often should I use a **\"clarifying\" shampoo** to remove silicone buildup?\n\nWhere are my curls?\n\n**Bonus round:**\n\nI am unsure if I will continue using my current shampoo and conditioner.

I'm a longtime wearer of Ecco soft 7, but the quality and fit have gotten worse, so I need better shoes for lots of walking in Europe. I wear leather sneakers with my dresses and I like a sleek look.  I appreciate the Gen Z trend for louder sneakers with dresses, but it's not for me. I feel like a teacher on recess duty or an office worker who's planning to change shoes. It's just not for me.\n\n\n\nBorn Mira are extremely supportive and comfortable. They're true all day leather sneakers and the construction quality is excellent. They're a little less slick looking than I really want, but the quality and walking support is a full cut, and maybe a cut-and-a-half above all others in this thread. I will buy them in at least 4 colors over the next year or two and phase out my 5 pairs of Eccos.\n\n\n\nTaos Plim Soul Lux had stiff soles and heel slip for me (very sharp heels). Great construction quality. Didn't work for me. They're fine but the soles are a little stiff for my tastes. They have a good shape and quality. I ended up buying a pair of Pop Soul shoes for the sportier look. They look like vans, but have support. I hope they break in well as they're stiff to walk in.\n\n\n\nEcco soft 7 are a smaller, tighter shoe. A little too narrow on my toes, but they look good because they're not bulky. The quality of the recent release isn't worth the price. The heel cup is crap. I had a pair 8 years ago I wore on a 3-week tour of Europe and they were amazing. The old pair I'm wearing now aren't comfortable enough to walk my dogs in. The new release is even worse \n\nBirkenstock bend had wonderful construction. They didn't fit my feet. The toe shape is more earth mother than I prefer, aesthetically. The cork foot bed isn't my normal jam. The price is correct for value in the current market.\n\nVionic Winny are cheap. They look cheap and feel cheap to me. If you're used to something in the Vans/Nike price bracket then you will probably think these shoes are fine\n\nCole Haaan Grand Crosscourt are slick looking shoes. I would totally do the thing where you wear an elevated sneaker with a suit like a cool girl. Unfortunately, they have a pretty flat foam foot bed that's fine for moderate walking, but isn't quality. I wouldn't pay MSRP for these at $180, but I would happily spend $90 for great looking shoes that are comfortable enough.  Not good enough for Traveling but good enough for daily wear.     \n\n\n\nI also bought a pair of Oboz Boseman Low men's hiking sneakers. They're a nice balance of being good enough for the moderate hikes we're planning (but not as good as real hiking shoes, obvs) but still sneaker-y enough to not totally gorpcore my outfits.", "author": "anon_e3637ec9", "created_utc": 1773162470, "created_iso": "2026-03-10T17:07:50Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/femalefashionadvice/comments/1rq2q39/quality_leather_sneakers_for_europe_trip/", "community": "femalefashionadvice", "score": 91, "parent_id": null, "title": "Quality leather sneakers for Europe Trip", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "slip", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:56:27Z"}

My two loves. Combined.\n\nIt\u2019s a bit gaudy, a bit glam, + all about statement pieces. \n\n**Color Scheme:**\u00a0jewel tones, metallics.\n\n**Fabrics:**\u00a0velvet, satin, silk, sheer, reflective.\n\n**Silhouettes:**\u00a0long + loose, bulky, no real definition of waist, voluminous, sculptural, geometric. draped.\n\n**Styling Choices:**\u00a0lotsa sheer, lotsa ruffles. bunched, layered fabrics.\n\n**Details:**\u00a0tie dye, sequins, appliqu\u00e9s by hems and shoulders. Lots of embroidery and exposed, loose threads, beading. Asymmetrical hems. cut outs. Structural jewelry + purses. Nails as accent + accessory. Bold eye makeup featuring rhinestones.\n\n**Outfit ideas/specifics:**\n\n- More literal in interpretation - wearing oversized, bulky jewelry with raw crystals, prints of gemstones, or covering clothes in crystals. Nails that look like gemstones.\n\n- More loose in interpretation - layering fabrics to look like agates or wearing a color of the crystal.\n\n- semi structured shirts with loose multilayered skirts.\n\n- long slip dresses with lots of Swarovski jewelry.\n\n**Places to shop the look/DIY:**\n\nSwarovski nails it in the jewelry department.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_1awefeo", "text": "Today I wanted to share my experience with Diosa Fit, a small latina owned brand I found on Instagram. Most of the items I\u2019m sharing I\u2019ve only had the chance to try on, and haven\u2019t yet tested them out with a workout so I can\u2019t yet judge on performance, only on fit, feel, and the shopping experience. I kept my expectations low with this brand because my experiences with similar companies has been very meh. These types of trendy activewear companies that you only really see on Instagram and TikTok being hawked by Influencers pop up and disappear all of the time and rarely care much for quality and performance and only focused on appearances. The size chart also gave me pause as my waist measurement is at the very far end of their biggest size and my hips are technically bigger. But I like to do the reviews to possibly save others from heartbreak so here we go! \n\nThe business is relatively young having been started in 2020 by Diane Olvera whose own experiences with trying to find activewear that made her feel confident in inspired her to start her own company. Diosa means goddess and the company\u2019s goal is to make every woman feel like a goddess even when they\u2019re a sweaty mess in the gym.\n\nThe brand makes sports bras, training tops, legging, shorts, sweats, one pieces, and jackets. The website is fairly easy to navigate both on a computer and on mobile and all items are divided by type and style. Some items appear to be designed more with performance in mind, while others are more for style  or comfort. Like true athleticwear versus more athleisure. They also have a tab for collections.\n\nTheir size range isn\u2019t great only having 6 sizes and not all items being available in all sizes and ranging from XS-XXL. However I feel this is to be expected from a smaller company who likely has fewer resources than brands like Lululemon for example. It\u2019s also still better than many similar brands who commonly only go up to a L.\n\nPricing is very reasonable and pretty standard for activewear. You\u2019re looking at $35 for shorts, $40-45 for leggins, and about $25-30 for tops. The most expensive items are $50 for a full sized hoodie and a full length body suit. They do have great sales from what I\u2019ve seen and this order was a BOGO sale, but I can\u2019t remember if it was buy one get one free or buy two get one free? They also offer 15% off when you sign up for email and text, take Afterpay, and have a rewards program. \n\nShipping took about a week from when I placed the order to when I received it. Took 2 days to process then another 5 to get to me which is pretty good. They offer shipping insurance for a couple extra dollars, and shipping itself is $7 or free if your order is $100+. They do ship internationally, but I don\u2019t know the cost and with international orders they don\u2019t take returns.\n\nThey take returns within 30 days with a $6 restocking fee (again pretty standard for small businesses) and you can either be refunded or get store credit.  If you return an item and it\u2019s not in acceptable condition you\u2019re also able to get a label to have the item sent back to you, so I suppose if you end up in that boat you at least get to keep the item. I don't know how smooth this process is either as I haven\u2019t needed to return anything yet.\n\nOn to the review. All bottoms ordered in XXL and tops are XL [Here's photos of me]( https://imgur.com/a/y0h0pP5):\n\n[Radiant 6\u201d Bike Short](https://diosafit.com/products/radiant-biker-shorts-6?variant=43961574326525) in Royal Purple. These shorts are a seamless scrunch style short. Overall I liked these shorts a good bit. They come in 16 colors and XS-XXL. I was very hesitant about the shorts because I\u2019m pear shaped with thick thighs and was worried about them being too tight there more than anything. I\u2019m happy to report that this did not end up being the case and I was shook. My thighs are 31\u201d at the widest part when unflexed but even when squatting down and flexing my legs these did not become uncomfortable. The fit was pretty typical for quality seamless shorts, I felt sucked at the waist with a good amount of compression to where I felt supported but not suffocated. The back has the thinner weave over your glutes to prevent squashing in addition to a scrunch to emphasize. I do not like full scrunch to be honest, I feel like I have a very firm wedgie and I do not like how the fabric ruches along my crack so I would say that\u2019s my biggest complaint about these shorts. They\u2019re also not entirely squat proof with dark underwear. I think with lighter more skin toned ones they\u2019d be fine, but my black underwear were showing through a bit. I\u2019d give these a 8/10.\n\n\n[Naked Legging](https://diosafit.com/products/naked-legging?variant=44345760350461) in Varsity Green. These are available in 9 colors and XS-XXL. When I pulled these out of the bag they felt very thin and I assumed they would not be squat proof in the slightest. They also proved me wrong. The color is really vibrant and the fabric is very soft, but these are definitely more athleisure leggings. There\u2019s no compression or smoothing going on and I did wear these legging for a full day and they for sure need to be pulled up pretty frequently. Walking in them are fine, but as soon as I would need to bend over they\u2019d start to slip down and I\u2019d have to pull them back up. They are a seamed legging but don\u2019t have a front seam which to me is a bonus, and the back seam falls nicely to help give a little definition without being super obvious. No pockets unfortunately. 7/10\n\n[Zenergy High Neck Tank](https://diosafit.com/products/zenergy-high-neck-tank?variant=44021679161597) in Sunrise. I feel swindled by this top. I\u2019m usually very skeptical about sports bras that aren\u2019t in bra sizes because typically they don\u2019t fit my 36G bust in a functional way and support is non-existent, that being said the model was quite busty herself and the top fit on her nicely and the size chart said technically my measurements did fall within the range. I also like to test out tops if able just so I can confirm to any readers that if they\u2019re built like me it\u2019s not gonna work. I got this in an XL as it\u2019s only offered in 3 colors and S-XL. Well my gut instinct was correct and the side spillage was not the worst due to the high neck, but still pretty terrible. The length was nice however and it had a pretty firm mesh built in shelf bra with removal pads. For someone probably two cup sizes smaller than me this would probably be a good low-medium impact workout top, but if your proportions are more like mine it\u2019s not good. 5/10\n\n[Hourglass Jacket](https://diosafit.com/products/hourglass-jacket?variant=44427109433597) in Pomegranate. This jacket is offered in 6 colors and XS-XXL. An issue I have with many athletic jackets and tops is that they tend to squash my boobs into a very unflattering uniboob lump. I\u2019m happy to report this jacket did not do this. I ordered an XL based on the size chart and feel like it was accurate though if I wanted it to be less fitted on my belly I probably would have been fine in an XXL too, though since I\u2019m losing weight I\u2019d rather not size up. The fabric felt very light and stretchy, more on the thin side, like something you\u2019d wear in cool spring weather to run in, rather  than something you\u2019d wear when it\u2019s genuinely cold out. I think the second skin type fit would make it good for layering however. It\u2019s not a full zip so I don\u2019t worry about my bust undoing the jacket as has happened to me before and the sleeves are not overly long on my arms (5\u20193\u201d here) and do have little thumb holes. 8/10 for no pockets.\n\n[Radiant Legging](https://diosafit.com/products/copy-of-radiant-legging?variant=43577549979901) in Steel. 11 colors and XS-XXL are available. Just like the Radiant short my main complaint is the very dramatic scrunch. Physically I find it a tad uncomfortable and visually I don\u2019t think it looks as good as hidden scrunches. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s a difference in the construction of the leggings vs the shorts, or a difference in the color but the gray pants were more fully squat proof in comparison to the purple shorts, though you could still see panty lines under the thinner material in the butt. Same as with the shorts there was a very good level of compression without feeling overly constricted. 8/10\n\n[Oversized Zip Hoodie](https://diosafit.com/products/stone-oversized-zip-hoodie?variant=44096917340413) in Espresso. 100% my new favorite hoodie and comes in S-XXL and 4 colors. The length and level of oversized is perfect. As a busty and plus sized person I often have difficulty finding stuff thats actually oversized on me, and if it\u2019s oversized, still flattering. I\u2019m also on the shorter side so cropped can be a crap shoot on if it hits me at the right place and this does hitting me just below my waist. The fabric was much thicker than I was expecting, even with the price of the jacket, I was honestly expecting something pretty thin and only good for mildly cool weather. Wearing it inside my house while I moved around made me sweat, and walking outside in 40 degree weather I was comfortable still. The pockets are big enough for my phone to fit comfortably, the hood is also oversized, there\u2019s a little pocket for the zipper so it doesn\u2019t rub your face when fully zipped up, and the sleeves aren\u2019t super long and also come with subtle thumb holes. 10/10\n\nI was very pleasantly surprised by this brand and was happy with everything I bought besides the bra. I think if they offered it in an XXL it would have fit fine and been good for things like Yoga or Pilates, but was just not a great fit at an XL. I also noticed that the colors of most if not all of the items were such that you could do a lot of mixing and matching with a nice mixture of neutrals and more vibrant colors. Overall I\u2019d recommend this brand to others as of now based on fit and look, hopefully that doesn\u2019t change as I get a chance to actually workout in the items.\n", "author": "anon_f2820058", "created_utc": 1708528395, "created_iso": "2024-02-21T15:13:15Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/femalefashionadvice/comments/1awefeo/diosa_fit_try_on_and_mini_review_as_a_chubby_lass/", "community": "femalefashionadvice", "score": 61, "parent_id": null, "title": "Diosa Fit try on and mini review (as a chubby lass)", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "slip", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:56:27Z"}

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_16l93r2", "text": "It\u2019s only September, but we\u2019ve already started planning outfits for the fall season. Have you already started noticing the new trends creeping into stores and magazines? It\u2019s a real mixed bag of styles and elements for every taste and age, a lot of it predictably inspired by the 2000s. While this is by no means an exhaustive list of trends or all the most popular influences, they do tend to be some of the recurring styles I\u2019ve seen in the new collections so far. If you\u2019re still getting your shopping list ready, here are some of the trends you\u2019ll see this fall season:\n\n\n\n#1 sheer\n\n\nIf you\u2019ve taken a gander at online stores lately, there\u2019s no way you missed the fact that sheer clothes are in. Very appropriate for summer, but not inconvenient for fall, a sheer element is the perfect way to bring a touch of sexy to an outfit, while also adding texture and visual interest. \n\n\n[Sheer tops](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/9a/1f/87/9a1f8788177faaa92684f8779814c2a3.jpg) are everywhere - mostly mesh and [organza](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/5d/88/89/5d88891f27a789f01803ef617d065825.jpg) - but they\u2019re not the only garments that are getting the see-through treatment. [Sheer midi skirts](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/french-actress-olga-kurylenko-poses-for-a-photo-call-before-news-photo-925015184-1557795027.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&resize=980:*) and dresses - [with or without slips underneath](https://outfittrends.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/outfit-with-sheer-skirts-2-333x500.jpg), depending on how daring you are - are an ideal choice for any holiday parties you\u2019ve got coming up, or just regular nights out. \n\n\n##Best way to wear it: \n\n\n\nJeans a nice top, anyone? Why not make that top sheer? If you feel uncomfortable going all out, then a sheer element goes perfectly with an otherwise conservative outfit. If you\u2019re wearing a midi skirt and a blazer, a peek of a sheer top can be a great contrast. A sheer midi with high boots and a turtleneck sweater is perfectly appropriate, while still flashing a little calf to keep things interesting. \n\n\n#2 marked waists\n\n\n\nHave you heard The Good News about waists? Boxy haters, rejoice, and get your credit cards ready: the tide is turning back towards 2000s style tops and jackets, and that means fewer long, boxy blazers, and more hip length, [wasp-waisted garments](https://assets.vogue.com/photos/64ee55932f2f6fa44845e097/master/w_1600%2Cc_limit/GettyImages-1258834191.jpg). \n\n\nBlazers aren\u2019t the only ones that are getting the cinched treatment, that also goes for coats, shirts, and dresses. It\u2019s a structured, feminine style that looks great with voluminous pieces and is made even more impactful by the addition of prominent shoulders.\n\n\n\n##Best way to wear it: \n\n\n\nA top with a cinched waist looks especially harmonious with voluminous pants. A pair of high-waisted palazzos goes perfectly with a tie-waist shirt. A [blazer](https://thefrankieshop.com/cdn/shop/products/peak-lapel-hourglass-blazer-in-black-blazer-more-than-yesterday-637915.jpg?v=1578443192) with this kind of detail can work with pants, but you can also pair a straight mini skirt with it for an 80s inspired skirt suit look. \n\n\n\n#3 wrap sweaters\n\n\n\nBallet-core may be older news, but it\u2019s still going strong, and it\u2019s sprouting new iterations and trends. After leg warmers and sheer skirts, it also gave way to the return of [the wrap sweater](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f6/65/18/f66518542463b21d348a6f930942c767.png). Usually made of thinner fabric and typically in shades of delicate pink, black, white, or gray, a ballet-inspired wrap sweater is as feminine as it is practical. \n\n\n\nSheer ones are common, but it\u2019s not the only style out there, by any means. In the coming months we can expect to see them in various fabrics and colors, as they make a great fresh alternative to other types of cardigans that may feel a little stale. \n\n\n\n##Best way to wear it: \n\n\n\nIt can be worn by itself, on top of a satin cami, paired with jeans or a midi skirt. Or it can even work as a top layer for an evening dress. It\u2019s a great topper for evening weddings going into fall. The temperatures go lower, but the dresses stay thin and strappy, so an elegant cover-up that isn\u2019t a pashmina doesn\u2019t hurt. \n\n\n\n#4 fringe skirt\n\n\n\n\nFringe is creeping back into fashion in all sorts of ways - we\u2019ve been seeing some leather fringed purses and hopefully vests soon - and one of the most fun iterations has to be the fringe skirt. The fringe skirt, or the [carwash skirt](http://www.laiamagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/estelle-chemouny-prada-embroidered-fringed-skirt-instagram.jpg), as it\u2019s affectionately nicknamed, is technically a midi skirt, but the length is - you guessed it - FRINGE. \n\n\nIt has movement, it has [drama](https://dint.img18.kr/PRODUCT/2023_UPDATE/BOTTOM/SK2511/DINT0SK25110SV013.jpg), it\u2019s comfortable, and it\u2019s a way more interesting way to wear a skirt. Functioning as both a mini and a midi, basically, the fringe skirt is sexy without being revealing, it\u2019s fun without being exaggerated, and it\u2019s a totally unique way to wear a skirt. It also sort of plays into the sheer trend because it puts some leg on show, but not really. It\u2019s more a of a peek-a-boo. \n\n\n##Best way to wear it: \n\n\n\nBecause the skirt is the fun element of the outfit, you can keep the rest simple. A button-down shirt, a basic boot, neutral colors. Orrr you can kick it up a notch with some fun heels and an oversized blazer. \n\n\n\n#5 silver\n\n\n\n\nEven if you\u2019re not a big Bowie fan, silver is surprisingly versatile. Basically anything you wear can be made in a cool metallic silver fabric. For now, it seems to be mostly relegated to silver denim - jackets, jeans, skirts, even dresses - but space-ier fabric is coming. Target is already there. Is it just the 2000s coming back or is it inspired by our most recent forays into space? Shall we call it Elon Musk-core? \n\n\nNo, we shall not, ew. \n\n\nIt may seem like [a lot of statement](https://wild-swans.com/cdn/shop/files/Stine-Goya-Rocky-Jacket-_2_1200x.jpg?v=1686838851), and it can be, but not necessarily. If you\u2019re not ready to invest all your money in silver, you can start with something small, like an accessory. A silver bag is easy, but even more current - a pair of silver shoes. [Silver Jadons](https://www.drmartens.com/us/en/jadon-max-boot-metallic-leather-platforms/p/30780058) are still on sale if you\u2019re an unhinged Dr. Martens stan like me, or you can go for a subtler, more classic, or ~feminine~ option of a heeled silver boot, preferably with a pointed toe. \n\n\n\n##Best way to wear it: \n\n\n\n\nThe best way to wear it, in my opinion, is top to bottom silver for a baked potato core look, but if you\u2019re not there yet, one silver element with a monochrome look is fine, too. We\u2019ve already covered shoes and bags, but a jacket is an easy statement \u201ctopper\u201d as well. \n\n\n\n#6 ruffles\n\n\n\nAnother nod to the 2000s - although it\u2019s less of a nod, and more of a full-on head tilt - [delicate, sheer ruffled blouses](https://cdn-images.farfetch-contents.com/20/88/82/93/20888293_50852396_600.jpg) and [dresses](https://static.zara.net/photos///2023/I/T/1/p/0808/133/512/2/w/824/0808133512_1_1_1.jpg?ts=1692868697396) are quickly capturing the imagination of trendy consumers and lining up for fall. The vibe is light, feminine, and diaphanous. \n\n\n\n[This type of top](https://i.localised.com/img/uo/product/71b3e969-42fa-4cb2-b347-52803095bc87.jpg) or dress can be worn by itself, but it also works great with a blazer or leather jacket on top, for a peek of something cute under otherwise masculine-leaning or serious outerwear. \n\n\n\n##Best way to wear it: \n\n\n\nYou don\u2019t have to go over the top femme just because you\u2019re wearing ruffles. This type of top goes perfectly with a pair of flare jeans and a pair of pointy boots. 2000s nostalgia in the best way, only without the acne and the emo bangs, this time. \n\n\n\n\n#7 satin\n\nRarely do we get fabrics as a trend, but satin has been a star all year-long. While we\u2019ve mainly seen it in [slinky midi skirts](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/3c/6f/e4/3c6fe4c251e4069d564461d5e712c509.jpg) and 90s-esque slip dresses, the fall season also brings satin tops, [shirts](https://cdn.cliqueinc.com/posts/229415/styling-a-silk-blouse-229415-1499976029007-image.700x0c.jpg), and blouses, perfect for the office. You can go for a satin pussy-bow blouse if you want to be high femme, or you can opt for a classic button-up shirt in a satin fabric for just a hint of a special texture. \n\n\n\n\nSatin is great for adding texture to an outfit, because it contrasts most casual fabric. Its shiny quality can make it ideal for special occasion dressing, but it\u2019s also appropriate for everyday situations, including professional dressing. \n\n\n##Best way to wear it: \n\n\n\nShort of going for a satin top + satin skirt combo, it can be worn in almost any formula. My favorite way to wear satin is to use to elevate and contrast a more casual, understated piece. Think midi satin skirt with a chunky sweater, or a [satin shirt with a pair of jeans](https://e81424e1.flyingcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/1311364.2.jpg.webp). It\u2019s still casual, but just a little bit special. \n\n\n\n\n#8 pointed toes/kitten heels\n\n\n\n\nControversially, kitten heels are back. Their toes are pointy, but they\u2019re not angry; in fact, they\u2019re sleek, elegant, and occasionally come with [ankle straps](https://static.massimodutti.net/3/photos//2023/I/1/1/p/1474/250/800/1474250800_1_1_16.jpg?t=1694084049290&impolicy=massimodutti-itxmediumhigh&imwidth=1200&imformat=chrome) and mary-jane detailing that\u2019s so in vogue right now. The [mule version](https://assets.vogue.com/photos/6356c68f4c8f13c750500f7c/1:1/w_4000,h_4000,c_limit/GettyImages-1280284908.jpg) is also popular, and for now, they\u2019ve mostly appeared in various black leathers for fall, but there\u2019s more to come. If leather pointed toe kitten heels are here, then [shiny patent](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FqzKYsqWwC8F1EH?format=jpg&name=large) (and possibly silver?) pointed toe kitten heels must be right around the corner. \n\n\n##Best way to wear it: \n\n\nAs you may remember from the 2000s, the pointed toe kitten heel was an office favorite, because it looked excellent under long bootcut office pants. It\u2019s not a coincidence they\u2019re trending together. If you think you can\u2019t possibly bring yourself to do that again, just give it a few months, it\u2019ll get to you. \n\n\nThey also happen to look great with the midi skirts that have so captured the imagination of women of all ages these past few seasons. That satin midi skirt you wore all summer can transition seamlessly into fall with a pair of kitten heels and a short, tweedy, collarless blazer. Just in time for that mandatory back to office email. \n\n\n#9 wide waist belts/obi belts/corset belts\n\n\nI wasn\u2019t kidding when I said waists are back; you can get the silhouette through tailoring, but otherwise, you can turn any existing outfit by adding a wide waist belt. Also known as obi belts, corset belts, or wrap belts, in case you want to do some Pinterest-ing later, this kind of belt makes a statement and adds a harder edge to an outfit, while still maintaining the distinctly feminine silhouette. \n\n\n\nYou can opt for a softer, lighter \u201cedge\u201d if you wish, with white or brown leather, or a different material, for more of an [architectural vibe](https://www.ferbena.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/@abeautyfeature.jpeg), or an Asian-inspired accessory, but the majority of are categorically in the black leather category. If a full-on harness feels too teenage and NSFW even outside the workplace, then a soft black leather [underbust corset](https://static.zara.net/photos///2023/I/0/1/p/3920/263/800/22/w/824/3920263800_1_1_1.jpg?ts=1694607171566) might be elegant enough to make a subtler statement, but still play into this look. \n\n\n##Best way to wear it: \n\n\n\n\nThey work best with dresses in a contrasting color, but you can also make them work with tops, as long as they\u2019re longer, or at least stay tucked into the belt. The nice thing about this type of belt is that it can be edgy and \u201chard\u201d, but it can also be super soft and feminine. Wrap details are great for curvy bodies, because they follow the contour of your silhouette. \n\n\n\n\nOf course, it goes without saying these are not all the fall fashion influences and this is not a prescriptive or complete guide - just what I\u2019ve noticed with the early fall crop of collections that have been hitting the stores. If there are any trends you\u2019d particularly like to see detailed or styled, let me know and I\u2019ll do more of an in-depth write-up.", "author": "anon_5e34f9c8", "created_utc": 1694977476, "created_iso": "2023-09-17T19:04:36Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/femalefashionadvice/comments/16l93r2/9_trends_for_fall/", "community": "femalefashionadvice", "score": 915, "parent_id": null, "title": "9 Trends For Fall", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "slip", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:56:27Z"}

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_15wdfb3", "text": "One question that pops up incredibly often on this sub once high temperatures hit is how to make warm weather wear looks\u2026interesting. The disconnect seems to occur because for fall/winter dressing, there is more texture and more layering to play with, so it\u2019s easier to create an \u201coutfit\u201d rather than just \u201cclothes\u201d. When you\u2019re only wearing one layer, that becomes more difficult and the outfit you\u2019re trying to put together can leave something to be desired, as it\u2019s plain and stripped back. \n\n\nBut you don\u2019t have to layer 3 types of clothes in order to maintain style going into the warmer months. Warm weather has endless opportunities for fashionable dressing, and in the glorious absence of a big coat that covers up all your hard work, you\u2019re free to show off an outfit that plays with colors, proportions, textures, patterns, or interesting accessories. \n\n\nI know summer is technically on its way out, but a lot of us still have at least a month or two of hot weather to go, so let\u2019s take a look at putting together some cool summer outfits. \n\n\n\n\n\n# Color\n\n\n\n\n\nPerhaps more than anything else, warm weather is an excellent opportunity to enjoy color. While no one\u2019s stopping you from wearing colorful clothes in the winter, it\u2019s clear that cold weather tends to be a sad mass of black - mostly for practical reasons. \n\n\nBut when the sun is shining and there are no coats covering up your outfit, you can bring out the yellows, the pinks, the greens - and they can be the key to taking your attire from just \u201cclothes\u201d to an \u201coutfit\u201d. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n## color blocking\n\n\n\n\nColor blocking is a tried and true method to add visual interest. Color in an outfit always brings it up a step, but color blocking requires more skill, and more attention paid to silhouette, as well as color pairings. You can opt for colors opposite on the color wheel, or just colors that feel right to you - there are no rules, as long as you love the result. \n\n\n\n\n\n[color blocking 1](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QFQSRI1k8D8/YMCzhFYUYmI/AAAAAAAALF0/2gTtzRYlFYYcv3YisM-UKRzFvgWGKBsGwCLcBGAsYHQ/s894/IMG_20210609_121521_902.jpg)\n\n\n[color blocking 2](https://i.pinimg.com/1200x/b4/a8/6d/b4a86de4410aa558e7de9fa1eb626dc2.jpg)\n\n\n[color blocking 3](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PZTFwVM-1Ak/YMDaHGoMIQI/AAAAAAAALIM/9fm_C81VpwYLhugmcgUPUWstX5f3Mht-QCLcBGAsYHQ/s851/IMG_20210609_121535_508.jpg)\n\n\n[color blocking 4](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3U1ZYcoq8P8/YMCz5plUzzI/AAAAAAAALGA/3ZrRvhbm9RE0Bhhi280DL88TXMJiOOzQQCLcBGAsYHQ/s700/IMG_20210609_121430_182.jpg)\n\n\n[color blocking 5](https://www.economyofstyle.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Fun-Summer-Color-Combinations-To-Wear-3c.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n##pop of color\n\n\n\n\nOpting for just a pop of color can be a great way to make your outfit more fun, but without the difficulty of pairing colors together. The easiest way to do it is to add a colorful bag to an otherwise neutral outfit. A lavender bag can give a little contrast to a basic white dress and elevate it to an outfit. Especially if you\u2019re also pairing it with a colorful pair of shoes. Matching shoes are fine, but an even more interesting choice is a pair of shoes in a complementary color. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n[pop of color 1](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MiWXCBQrvLk/YMCxOsGh4NI/AAAAAAAALFc/wfgAMUWfPJIIP0wE_sqv9aIHV85FWxEdgCLcBGAsYHQ/s657/IMG_20210609_122902_334.jpg)\n\n\n[pop of color 2](https://www.ferbena.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/chloelecareux-814x1000.jpeg)\n\n\n[pop of color 3](https://i.pinimg.com/474x/ae/6c/9b/ae6c9b1c4839793f3ef885575157845f.jpg)\n\n\n[pop of color 4](https://cdn.cliqueinc.com/posts/200395/white-outfit-ideas-summer-200395-1658258042618-main.900x0c.jpg?interlace=true&quality=70)\n\n\n[pop of color 5](https://shorturl.at/uNUW4)\n\n\n\n\n## monochrome\n\n\n\nProbably a lot of us have worn all-black before, but how many have tried the same in a different color? What is boring and safe in black becomes infinitely more stylish and interesting in a bold color that goes great with a tan. Think about an all pink outfit and what a statement it makes. It\u2019s still really easy to put together - you\u2019re only using one color - and yet, it\u2019s anything but boring. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n[monochrome 1](https://publish.purewow.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/white-shorts-and-shirt-monochromatic-outfits.jpg?fit=1360%2C1600)\n\n\n[monochrome 2](https://publish.purewow.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/black-outfit-for-summer-monochromatic-outfits.jpg?fit=1360%2C1600)\n\n\n[monochrome 3](https://withwonderandwhimsy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Anthropologie-Somerset-Dress-Eyelet-Edition-in-Pink-4.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n##tonal dressing\n\n\n\nPairing colors together can be tricky and it\u2019s often a barrier of entry to fashion for the regular person. But there are easy, somewhat prescriptive ways to do it, like tonal dressing. Not quite monochrome, tonal dressing is more about picking different shades of the same base color or color palette. Adjacent colors, if you will. Both a step above monochrome, and easier than finding identical shades to match, tonal dressing is more visually exciting than a monochromatic outfit, while still being a subtle way to do color.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n[tonal 1](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RkCIoZ2yt1A/YMC0mIQDdII/AAAAAAAALGQ/WLnhCKy3bG02IxNKmjJlx4XdtVVkh2r8wCLcBGAsYHQ/s986/IMG_20210609_121346_528.jpg)\n\n\n[tonal 2](https://withwonderandwhimsy.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Monochrome-Blue-Outfit-from-ELOQUII-Plus-Sizes-6.jpg)\n\n\n[tonal 3](https://i0.wp.com/pinkaprildiary.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/how-to-create-a-monochromatic-outfit-printed.jpg?w=1000&ssl=1) \n\n\n[tonal 4](https://shorturl.at/vzLSZ)\n\n\n\n[tonal 5](https://www.dreamingloud.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Orange-and-burgundy-outfit-Marina-wide-leg-pant-.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n# Pattern\n\n\n\n\nPerhaps an obvious suggestion, pattern pulls an outfit right out of its boring, solid color nothingness and gives it purpose, it gives it oomph, it gives it visual interest. Where things really get interesting is when you pattern match - or clash. But that\u2019s a somewhat \u201cadvanced\u201d lesson. For now, even something as simple as choosing a floral skirt instead of a solid colored one can make your clothes an \u201coutfit\u201d. \n\n\n\n\n## floral\n\n\n\n\nYes, yes, florals for spring are not groundbreaking. But we have to walk before we can run. Florals are common, and they\u2019re easy. A very seasonally-appropriate pattern for spring-summer, it adds a touch of whimsy and femininity to an otherwise simple outfit. \n\n\n\n\n[floral 1](https://shorturl.at/bhno7)\n\n\n\n[floral 2](https://thevou.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Cottagecore-Fashion-thevou.com-Reformation-01.jpg)\n\n\n[floral 3](https://usa.spell.co/cdn/shop/files/Spell-IslamoradaMidiDress-Petunia-120.jpg?v=1686015477 )\n\n\n[floral 4](https://publish.purewow.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/03/woman-wearing-multiple-floral-prints.png?fit=680%2C860 )\n\n\n[floral 5](https://tokyofashion.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/NK-2018-05-20-003-001-Harajuku-D58-7420-2_1.jpg )\n\n\n\n\n\n\n## polka dots & stripes\n\n\n\n\nPolka dots and stripes are other classic patterns you can\u2019t really go wrong with. They typically still come in neutral colors, for the most part, but you can also find them in more fun colors if you don\u2019t want to stick to boring black and white. \n\n\n\n\n\n[polka dot stripe 1](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/RzQInQUaJ0rAllC55iDgnDgJGCc/fit-in/1024x1024/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2019/04/16/723/n/1922564/34e32d3acdad2cc7_GettyImages-1014456228/i/Summer-Fashion-Trends-Polka-Dots.jpg)\n\n\n[polka dot stripe 2](https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-h56o4umii7/images/stencil/960w/products/43905/445783/fc4e33ea84ae7820__31209.1680573924.jpg?c=1)\n\n\n[polka dot stripe 3](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/ubQl2u8qT-XwWWSYeVpMytQcyJ0/fit-in/1024x1024/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2019/04/16/723/n/1922564/cc18f71fff8210d2_GettyImages-801421604/i/Summer-Fashion-Trends-Polka-Dots.jpg)\n\n\n[polka dot stripe 4](https://www.mychicobsession.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/polka-dot-shirt-outfit-3-of-5-scaled.jpg)\n\n\n[polka dot stripe 5](https://thefashiontag.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/button-trend-street-style-11.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n## abstract\n\n\n\n\nThen, of course, we\u2019ve got the cooler, more modern abstract prints. Paint splotches, random shapes, approximations of faces - anything goes. Why wear a basic white shirt, when you can wear an interesting one? \n\n\n\n\n\n[abstract 1](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/6b/bf/85/6bbf853d26e054abfe30d4da6efbbf3a.jpg )\n\n\n[abstract 2](https://i.etsystatic.com/35122928/r/il/e0c0a8/4165045025/il_1080xN.4165045025_g3zq.jpg)\n\n\n[abstract 3](https://stylecaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/slip-dress-24.jpg)\n\n\n[abstract 4](https://i.pinimg.com/1200x/aa/04/a1/aa04a1ecf69fb9804a8b1afa7f9609f1.jpg )\n\n\n[abstract 5](https://www.mikeverdicchio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/pucci-dresses-iride-print-silk-twill-mini-dress-white-womens.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n## gingham\n\n\n\n\nGingham is a classic summer staple. Casual and light, it\u2019s a quintessential \u201cpicnic\u201d print. Black and white gingham is a good neutral option, but if you want something more fun, any pastel color + white is very summery while still maintaining visual interest. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n[gingham 1](https://luxiders.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/lela_rose_ss_23_009.jpg)\n\n\n[gingham 2](https://celebrity-fashion.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Gingham-Jumpsuits-Emma-Roberts-outfit-id-Studio-City-12.jpg)\n\n\n[gingham 3](https://cdn.cliqueinc.com/posts/216429/gingham-fashion-trend-216429-1686339033336-promo.700x0c.jpg)\n\n\n[gingham 4](https://shorturl.at/szSX8)\n\n\n\n[gingham 5](https://i.pinimg.com/1200x/99/1f/83/991f8304dce4010b523d9608645a359b.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n## pattern clashing\n\n\n\n\nOf course, the ultimate way to wear pattern is to clash it against more pattern. A higher difficulty task, but with a big visual reward, pattern clashing can make even the most boring, basic outfit look elevated. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[clashing 1](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/Vd-3Glad8G19QrmcYy_K8M4v3cI/fit-in/1024x1024/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2019/04/16/723/n/1922564/ff45a8b170de76d8_GettyImages-1013467018/i/Summer-Fashion-Trends-Polka-Dots.jpg)\n\n\n[clashing 2](https://thedandyliar.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/the-dandy-liar-how-to-mix-patterns-and-prints-01-1440x1958.jpg)\n\n\n[clashing 3](https://thefashiontag.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/mixing-prints.jpg)\n\n[clashing 4](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/sC-8KiDh1Mv0Gj_BhwEQKYbGNgA/fit-in/1024x1024/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2019/04/16/723/n/1922564/b923bf5997ffcb9a_GettyImages-988630922/i/Summer-Fashion-Trends-Polka-Dots.jpg)\n\n\n[clashing 5](https://www.emilyjanejohnston.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/3246BC2F-88CF-4668-B358-D1296BCCA4A6.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n# Texture\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen you\u2019ve not got many pieces to work with for an outfit, those pieces have to work much harder to be interesting, to stand out, to be \u201cworthy\u201d. In comes texture. An outfit that\u2019s cotton from top to bottom is not much of an outfit. It\u2019s plain, flat, and boring. Mixing silk and organza, however, becomes an event. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n## linen/cotton\nLinen and cotton are the fabrics of choice for many during the summer. It\u2019s easy to see why - they keep you cool, they feel nice, and they\u2019re easy to find on the highstreet at decent prices. Plus, they tend to last - if slightly discolored from the sun. A good basis that you can add to. \n\n\n\n\n[linen cotton 1](https://cdn.cliqueinc.com/posts/300436/best-linen-fashion-300436-1656038485451-promo.700x0c.jpg)\n\n\n[linen cotton 2](https://anindigoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/how-to-style-linen-trouser-pants-9.jpg)\n\n\n[linen cotton 3](https://wwd.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/TAW-Summer-5.jpg?w=800)\n\n\n\n\n## sheer (tulle, gauze, organza)\n\n\n\n\nSheer is having a huge moment, and now is the time to take full advantage. Despite it being mainly synthetic fabrics, the thinness, sheerness, volume and lightweight quality of these fabrics means they can be easily worn during the height of summer without fear of heatstroke. Beautiful, diaphanous, and eminently *special*, a sheer element can bring the whimsy you need for a wedding outfit, the femininity to a date outfit, or that special je n\u2019est ce quoi to a simple brunch outfit. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n[sheer 1](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/ab/31/fd/ab31fd80d1ba3eeb940431afb9787362.jpg)\n\n\n[sheer 2](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/t972jxWITOBO3lwyIONWPFLDMQA/fit-in/1024x1024/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2019/04/16/723/n/1922564/ce380b7b6b249013_GettyImages-989691686/i/Summer-Fashion-Trends-Polka-Dots.jpg)\n\n\n[sheer 3](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/43/c8/15/43c8158e1fb0cc9f01d0892d962d0dd1.jpg)\n\n\n[sheer 4](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/e68OzZU_dHJacNu6bZ5kYsgyA-A/fit-in/1024x1024/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2019/09/06/807/n/1922564/f11ab9854bd395a0_GettyImages-1167079929/i/Street-Style-Trend-Puff-Sleeve-Dress.jpg)\n\n\n[sheer 5](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/f9/0b/8f/f90b8f84a608c95a703ab2af590dcfe7.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n## silk\n\n\n\n\nSilk is in no way as fanciful as it\u2019s touted to be, and it has the excellent advantage of being a great light-weight option for hot weather. Especially if you need something special or formal, there\u2019s nothing better than silk. It looks amazing, it\u2019s cool, and it packs small. \n\n\n\n\n\n[silk 1](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57f924d19f7456d89b10b40f/1600694299266-G51G911O4WK09YVYWOHI/11+Honore+Fall+Styles)\n\n\n[silk 2](https://www.lisadcahue.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Silk-Skirt-1-of-4.jpeg)\n\n\n[silk 3](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AYoF9FYjwjI/XsJa65rlQuI/AAAAAAAAIYU/hvy9b4iRFSYF7g707rEvehEPRQWQwVXQQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/via%2BBeSugarandSpice.jpg)\n\n\n[silk 4](https://www.stylevore.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/9b543d157f0d750c73bdd8d8fdbf18ec.jpg)\n\n\n[silk 5](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab2cb98fcf7fd2b288af55d/1548118431783-WJ7PZDFZP6N45QZPLCI1/slip-dress-e.jpg?format=2500w)\n\n\n\n\n\n## seersucker\n\n\n\nA quintessential summer fabric if there ever was one, seersucker is great for a variety of clothes. Since it\u2019s so light, it allows you to wear more formal or covered up garments, such as an elegant seersucker suit that would be hot in any other fabric. \n\n\n\n\n[seersucker 1](https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ppkMIfMKA8A/WRu6WZr0T7I/AAAAAAAAXmc/fwbxEejfy1ciW1iw4xBaVr7Xg4lab4XNACEw/s1600/eloquii%2Bseersuker%2Bdress%2B%2Bboater%2Bhat%2Bplus%2Bsize%2Boutfit.jpg)\n\n\n[seersucker 2](https://cdn.cliqueinc.com/posts/298373/march-shopping-guide-298373-1646683102583-product.700x0c.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n##muslin\n\n\n\n\nWith a slightly \u201ccrinkled\u201d texture, muslin is casual in nature, and it brings visual interest all on its own. Sure, it may not be ideal for a sleek outfit, but it\u2019s perfect for a billowy sleeveless dress when it\u2019s too hot to put anything else on, but you still want it to look ~interesting~. \n\n\n\n\n[muslin 1](https://chillax.co/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Alice-muslin-kimono3.jpg)\n\n\n[muslin 2](https://caspar-design.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/muslin_fabric_caspar_1-2.jpg)\n\n\n[muslin 3](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/19/1a/e9/191ae9483519f43af30b132c6286535d.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n# Proportions & silhouette \n\n\n\n\n\nMy personal favorite, playing with proportion and silhouette is a subtle and sophisticated way to create An Outfit if you\u2019re not into accessorizing or it\u2019s too hot to pile on the necklaces. Structural and sleek, this type of outfit allows shapes to speak for themselves and become the main event, with minimal other distractions. \n\n\n\n\n\n## loose on loose\n\n\n\nThere is no better season to do loose on loose than summer, especially if you prefer not to show skin. As cute as tight dresses are, this is not the time to pull them out. Instead, a pair of cropped wide leg pants can work surprisingly well with a boxy shirt with billowy sleeves. The silhouette is interesting on its own, you don\u2019t have fabric touching your skin, and you\u2019re not getting sunburned. All in all, 10/10 summer outfit. \n\n\n\n\n[loose 1](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/QdRGmnNd-sLLl2zMBmYBU65WSWA/fit-in/2048xorig/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2019/09/10/098/n/1922564/dbe87ca6f665f1e1_Lucy_Chadwick_by_STYLEDUMONDE_Street_Style_Fashion_Photography20190909_48A6635FullRes/i/Summer-Street-Style-White-Separates.jpg)\n\n\n[loose 2](https://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa419/lefashion/LE%20FASHION/Le-Fashion-Blog-Couture-Street-Style-Suzanne-Koller-Oversized-Beige-Blouse-Cropped-Linen-Trousers-Embellished-Slides-Via-Style-Du-Monde.jpg)\n\n\n[loose 3](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/Ig7j7wklGmuInlr7h4BGdDbhm_8/fit-in/2048xorig/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2019/09/12/783/n/1922564/41347febee6bc2e4_Rachael_Wang_by_STYLEDUMONDE_Street_Style_Fashion_Photography20190910_48A2266FullRes/i/Summer-Street-Style-Puff-Sleeved-Dress.jpg)\n\n\n[loose 4](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/iEUX2DTfT3wiRciG7xT_Uon8Cx4/fit-in/2048xorig/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2019/09/10/098/n/1922564/19da378fa5413558_NY_SS20_day_5_by_STYLEDUMONDE_Street_Style_Fashion_Photography20190909_48A7210FullRes/i/Summer-Street-Style-Sobert-Hues.jpg)\n\n\n[loose 5](https://i.pinimg.com/750x/f9/79/f9/f979f9ea83b7f00c953d7b484e7f728a.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n## tight on loose\n\n\n\n\nThat isn\u2019t to say that we can\u2019t do tight + loose in hot weather, you just have to be more strategic about it. It\u2019s still a visually interesting silhouette, but in the summer, the tight element should be the top, paired with a looser skirt or pair of pants. A bodycon tanktop or crop top with a pair of high-waisted linen shorts is as elegant as it is cooling.\n\n\n\n\n[tight 1](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/64/74/90/6474908adedeee2473256e9740985fb9.png)\n\n\n[tight 2](https://www.refinery29.com/images/11085368.jpg)\n\n\n[tight 3](https://media.vogue.co.uk/photos/6464f1e7e4145235b10b541d/1:1/w_4519,h_4519,c_limit/GettyImages-1490624071.jpg)\n\n\n[tight 4](https://i.pinimg.com/1200x/a2/5c/6c/a25c6cd1af64f0b855f92881d42310d6.jpg)\n\n\n[tight 5](https://i.pinimg.com/236x/d5/11/22/d51122d56a8402ab858e85f046fcab10.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n## structural/architectural detailing \n\n\n\n\n\nSometimes, a single piece with strong architectural detailing can bring all the pizzazz you need. In recent years, with the ushering in of maximalist tendencies, there\u2019s been no shortage of interesting structural details on summer clothes. A short, but wonderfully voluminous dress is both a statement and a clever way to stay cool. Same with very wide pants, a long column silhouette, intense pleating on a skirt, or an interesting neckline. Unexpected accessories like very chunky shoes paired with a very short dress or a very small purse with a voluminous outfit can also provide that extra kick. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n[structural 1](https://media.voguebusiness.com/photos/6050c5d16768de4dda4a341c/1:1/w_775%2Cc_limit/size-inclusive-rental-voguebus-stephanie-yeboah-mar-21-promo.jpg)\n\n\n[structural 2](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/GuCbypwDIk6jbL4fgu9HOGYaLNg/fit-in/1024x1024/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2019/09/23/686/n/1922564/033cc8b5335324b5_Milan_SS20_day_3_by_STYLEDUMONDE_Street_Style_Fashion_Photography20190920_48A6842FullRes/i/Summer-Street-Style-Puff-Sleeved-Shirt.jpg)\n\n\n[structural 3](https://shorturl.at/grvPZ)\n\n\n\n[structural 4](https://i.pinimg.com/1200x/b9/77/8c/b9778c3d80059dd6092121673379acd6.jpg)\n\n\n[structural 5](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/N3jEUqCJsrjJHj-pnOQVGGtFqHY/fit-in/2048xorig/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2019/09/07/992/n/1922564/ff1f309350752cf4_NY_SS20_day_2_by_STYLEDUMONDE_Street_Style_Fashion_Photography20190906_48A1328FullRes/i/Summer-Street-Style-Ruffled-Shirt-Pants.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n# Interesting details\n\n\n\n\nSeemingly small details can go a long way in elevating a piece, so don\u2019t discount the power that beading can have, straps, buckles, or even buttons. Some of these details will work better for evening than daytime, but it entire depends on your style, the type of embellishment, and the occasion. Daytime sequins are acceptable outside of Vegas now, I\u2019m just saying. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n## embellishment\n\n\n\n\nSimple shapes can still look amazing, if you add a little bling. The addition of sequins, rhinestones, or intricate beading can turn a forgettable dress into something special. The best part is that this can be DIY-ed, especially if you have a dress you\u2019re a little tired of or that is a tad boring. You can be as restrained or as crazy as you want with your embellishments. Pearl straps, bejeweled necklines, or full sequinned pieces - they\u2019re always a show-stopper. \n\n\n\n\n[embellishment 1](https://publish.purewow.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/purple-sequin-top-and-pants-monochromatic-outfits.jpg?fit=1360%2C1600)\n\n\n[embellishment 2](https://shorturl.at/qrGO9)\n\n\n\n[embellishment 3](https://au.sistersthelabel.com/cdn/shop/products/Sofia-Mini-Dress-Pearl-Silk-Style-1_800x.png?v=1620123286)\n\n\n\n\n\n## straps\n\n\n\nWith enough sunscreen, or a disregard for unconventional tan lines, something as simple as strap placement can make an outfit more interesting. Very strappy tops are very in right now, as are tops and dresses with open backs with special detailing, like tie-backs, bows, or cut-outs in different shapes. \n\n\n\n\n[straps 1](https://shorturl.at/dkrF3)\n\n\n\n[straps 2](https://footwearnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/emily-ratajkowski-strappy-heels.jpg)\n\n\n[straps 3](https://i.styleoholic.com/16-Spaghetti-Strap-Backless-Dresses-For-This-Summer11.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n## buckles, knots, pleating, buttons\n\n\n\n\n\nOther distinct visual details that can also be utilitarian also help draw the eye, add some contrast, and zuzh up your outfit. Whether it\u2019s a simple row of contrasting buttons, some statement hardware in the form of a special belt buckle, or gorgeous pleating, these details can say a lot without trying too hard. \n\n\n\n[details 1](https://s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/meesho-static-ethinos/s3fs-public/inline-images/4%20%2840%29.jpg?xYfBVqk87PCTj3PPgVaqYGKkQVrjCpWk)\n\n\n[details 2](https://thefashiontag.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/button-trend-street-style-15.jpg)\n\n\n[details 3](https://wildrina.com/cdn/shop/products/Rinaproduct06.04.224769.jpg?v=1655973254&width=1024)\n\n\n[details 4](https://akns-images.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/2014224/rs_600x600-140324091909-600.buckles.ls.32414.jpg?fit=around%7C1080:1080&output-quality=90&crop=1080:1080;center,top)\n\n\n[details 5](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UQDy2-ar1c4/XWlyJlQAWeI/AAAAAAAAFa4/AXmsEliYqiYCNhUOH8jcLqd0sA0U66-MQCLcBGAs/s1600/DSC_1516.JPG)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n# Accessories\n\n\nSometimes, the easiest way to do it is just to add accessories. It requires less fussing, and you don\u2019t have to think as much about them. The biggest bonus here is that accessories rarely make you hotter, but they can still have a huge visual impact and totally \u201cmake\u201d an outfit. \n\n\n\n## textured/colorful/big or small bag\n\n\n\n\nA bag should never be an afterthought, but that\u2019s especially important to remember when putting together summer outfits. Because you have fewer elements to play with, each of them becomes more important and \u201cweighs\u201d more in the overall structure of your look. \n\n\nA very big or very small bag is a tried and true way to bring the unexpected, but you can also achieve a similar effect if you pick a bag that is colorful, or that\u2019s textured. Consider giving your black leather bags a rest, and instead, enjoying wicker baskets, wooden bags, braided bags, and other unique textures or shapes. Summer is the time for the novelty bag to shine. \n\n\n\n\n\n[bag 1](https://shorturl.at/flswN)\n\n\n\n[bag 2](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/96/13/b0/9613b0987997174ed365e9fface45b1e.jpg)\n\n\n[bag 3](https://assets.vogue.com/photos/61479514a3da3a188c7b0665/master/w_1600%2Cc_limit/AcielleStyleDuMonde_LFWSS22_DAY2-32.jpg)\n\n\n[bag 4](https://r2r.ph/cdn/shop/products/buslo-micro-blocks-rainbow-fashion-rags2riches-546673.jpg?v=1684871744&width=713)\n\n\n[bag 5](https://images.lifestyleasia.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2022/05/30123556/saint-laurent-big-icare-tote-hailey-bieber-header-1600x900.jpeg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n## interesting shoes - size, color, heel shape, embellishments\n\n\n\n\nOf course, shoes are also essential. Not just because you literally cannot create an outfit without them, but because they can also weigh heavily in the balance of your outfit. Luckily for us, statement shoes are in, and there\u2019s plenty to play with in terms of features. Chunky shoes are du jour, but there are also very strappy shoes out there, interesting heel shapes, high platforms, shiny embellishments, and shockingly neon colors. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n[shoes 1](https://shorturl.at/kN245)\n\n\n[shoes 2](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/vFyLVeVoEC4BpiJ4-qHiiMbha5w/fit-in/2048xorig/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2019/09/12/791/n/1922564/80ae322cf15589ea_Gabriella_Karefa_Johnson_by_STYLEDUMONDE_Street_Style_Fashion_Photography20190911_48A7351FullRes/i/Summer-Street-Style-Chunky-Platforms.jpg)\n\n\n[shoes 3](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/jN1oJvBs0A-2Oq4qTdjkyxdsu2w/932x0:4580x3648/fit-in/1024x1024/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2022/07/20/895/n/1922564/e7867f6062d865a212a025.91376864_/i/best-dresses-to-wear-with-sneakers.jpg)\n\n\n[shoes 4](https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-q_OT6SEvg3w/U2tJrNvOpWI/AAAAAAAAFtU/Q2CXSWgnN2w/s1600/*IMG_3342.JPG)\n\n\n[shoes 5](https://shorturl.at/bfBOT)\n\n\n\n\n\n## hats \n\n\n\nIf you\u2019ve ever wished you could wear hats, but were afraid you\u2019d look like an asshole, now is your time. You have plausible deniability, hats are not just stylish, but they\u2019re useful, or even necessary, if you live somewhere where the sun is particularly oppressive. Shout out to Australia, the skin cancer capital of the world. \n\n\nA straw hat can complete an outfit or push it towards a certain vibe. Chic Gondolier with a breton tee and black shorts? Add a hat. Jungle Adventurer dressed head to toe in new-wave Banana Republic? Add a hat. Baptist Church Lady-core with a ruffly floral dress? Add a hat. \n\n\n\n\n\n[hats 1](https://shorturl.at/XY346)\n\n\n\n[hats 2](https://shorturl.at/hDOP0)\n\n\n\n[hats 3](https://thegreenhubonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Reformation-plus-size-ethical-fashion.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n# Third Piece\n\n\n\nThe third piece is, of course, a basic \u201crule\u201d for outfit creation, but hot weather makes it just a little bit more difficult, when even one layer of clothing feels like too much to bear. Thankfully, you can \u201ccheat\u201d and still add your third piece, but without adding extra bulk on top of an outfit you\u2019re already overheating in. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n## linen blazer\n\n\n\n\nFor evenings and A/C environments, a linen blazer is very versatile and makes almost any outfit better. It works great with little dresses, shorts, wide leg linen pants - it flatters elegant outfits and beautifully contrasts more casual ones. You really can\u2019t go wrong, and you also can\u2019t overheat. \n\n\n\n\n[blazer 1](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/hvJDjqphfUsTKxha9Jk6fQ.jpg)\n\n\n[blazer 2](https://shorturl.at/drI58)\n\n\n\n[blazer 3](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/-OdqOOAEGOokJMES_LhLJyx-CZE/fit-in/2048xorig/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2022/08/03/709/n/1922564/b5e552b2c5e1c0ae_GettyImages-1405286247/i/Blazer--Shorts-Outfits-Linen-For-Win.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n## vests\n\n\n\n\nA more summer-y version of the blazer, the vest is not just very fashionable at the moment, it\u2019s also the perfect layering piece. Adding minimal bulk, but maximum visual interest, a vest can be paired with anything, from dresses to shirts & shorts, to wearing it by itself as a top. The vest + shorts or vest + pleated pants combo reigns supreme for the spring/summer season; it\u2019s sophisticated, a little masculine, and a nice departure from typical summer outfits. \n\n\n\n\n[vest 1](https://editorial01.shutterstock.com/preview-440/12256480i/821d415a/Shutterstock_12256480i.jpg)\n\n\n[vest 2](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e4/ba/44/e4ba44b5e27803a51379fd7b438f7eda.jpg)\n\n\n[vest 3](https://fashionista.com/.image/c_fit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_620/MTY2ODM5MDM0MDYzMzY1OTk2/new-york-fashion-week-street-style-spring-2020-day-5-46.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n## fanny pack/cross body\n\n\n\nAny bag can make a good third piece, as we\u2019ve discussed, but a fanny pack worn crossbody is more visible, in many ways, it\u2019s very cool, and it can be very flattering. Worn on top of a straighter, looser, or more billowy top or dress, it creates some necessary shaping, while still maintaining the casual vibe. Wear it in a contrasting color or interesting texture for maximum effect. \n\n\n\n\n[pack 1](https://cdn.cliqueinc.com/posts/295201/cos-cross-body-bag-295201-1653092621451-main.900x0c.jpg?interlace=true&quality=70)\n\n\n[pack 2](https://cdn.cliqueinc.com/posts/295201/cos-cross-body-bag-295201-1631527986126-image.900x0c.jpg?interlace=true&quality=70)\n\n\n[pack 3](https://stylereportmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/neutral-outfits-6.jpg)\n\n\n[pack 4](https://i.pinimg.com/1200x/35/16/06/35160617cdecca800bc14227b3113185.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n## maximalist jewelry\n\n\n\nJewelry may be the easy way out, but one cannot deny the effect of a truly big-ass pair of earrings with an otherwise simple outfit. Necklaces, rings, and bracelets are not to be ignored, and can also work beautifully to accent an outfit or your great tan, but earrings have the advantage of not touching your skin and they also bring attention to your face, and look great with your hair up - a must, in hot weather. \n\n\n\n[jewelry 1](https://www.lulus.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/mountain.jpg)\n\n\n[jewelry 2](https://imgix.bustle.com/uploads/getty/2021/8/24/ea9033bf-f852-4df9-9fe4-b0f9a5c4a707-getty-1173412481.jpg?w=414&h=621&fit=crop&crop=faces&auto=format%2Ccompress)\n\n\n[jewelry 3](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/27/6d/13/276d133a1ee93820448aba8856021527.jpg)\n\n\n[jewelry 4](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/6KTd_eooWvySn6tuN7UD5wbwegI/fit-in/2048xorig/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2020/06/18/884/n/1922564/3f490edf4bc16d84_GettyImages-1173076025/i/Summer-Street-Style-Colorful-Shirt-Printed-Skirt.jpg)\n\n\n[jewelry 5](https://assets.vogue.com/photos/633b1cb60b60085071261bc6/master/w_1600,c_limit/00034-stella-mccartney-spring-2023-ready-to-wear-details-credit-gorunway.jpg)\n\n\n\n# What's the bottom line?\n\n\nSummer dressing can be just as fun as dressing for cooler weather, just in a different way. Layering is not the only way to create something that feels like An Outfit, and sophistication and visual interest are completely achievable in hot weather, even while remaining cool. The examples shown here aren\u2019t meant to be a rulebook to follow, but serve more as inspiration for your own wardrobe and can hopefully give you some ideas on ways to fall in love with your summer wardrobe.\n\n\n\nIf this helped, check out my other guides:\n\n\nhttps://www.reddit.com/r/femalefashionadvice/comments/11cp9nb/your_wardrobe_is_outdated_what_now_step_1_skinny/\n\n\n\nhttps://www.reddit.com/r/femalefashionadvice/comments/11m7yxr/updating_an_outdated_wardrobe_part_2_office_wear/", "author": "anon_5e34f9c8", "created_utc": 1692543078, "created_iso": "2023-08-20T14:51:18Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/femalefashionadvice/comments/15wdfb3/how_to_add_visual_interest_to_summer_outfits/", "community": "femalefashionadvice", "score": 492, "parent_id": null, "title": "How To Add Visual Interest To Summer Outfits", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "slip", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:56:27Z"}

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_12um5s6", "text": "It's been a long time since I've (peddle) biked as my main mode of transportation so I am struggling with what to wear when it's hot out that isn't just a tee, shorts, and backpack. Last summer I finally got back into my fashion groove after being in loungewear all the time. My street style \"uniform\" was a top, broomstick skirt, espadrilles/docs and a tote. Not really practical for biking though, so I'm basically starting fresh again! \n\nDressing sporty is not really in line with my style most of the time. I like to pull from boho, artsy, punk and goth inspo like Alexander McQueen, R13, Etro, Ahluwalia, Gucci, Anna Sui etc. Finding bottoms, shoes, and bags that make me feel like me, while also being practical, is tougher than I'd like. \n\nBottoms is probably the easier of the three, I'm thinking skorts or soft shorts in an interesting fabric. Maybe a mini dress with some shorts underneath.\n\nSandals and bags however... much trickier, lots of criteria to fit so I can comfortably and safely ride.\n\nShoes need a substantial outsole, cushioned footbed, crease-resistant fabric or style (for when I stop), and a secure fit. So far Tevas and canvas slip ons seem like a good middle ground, and I'm looking for a nice pair of open toe, leather fisherman sandals for something less sporty. In general, most options  aren't very modern so I'm open to more recommendations!\n\nAs for bags, I'd really prefer not to be using a backpack all summer. So I'm thinking of a getting a medium sized messenger or sling bag. Any recommendations for something sturdy but not sporty? My lock of choice is a honkin kryptonite chain and I like to carry a lot with me, so it needs to be able to comfortably carry 5ish pounds of weight.\n\nTIA!\n\nEDIT: For context, I\u2019m thinking about casual weekend wear, things I\u2019d wear to meet friends, go shopping, museum visits, etc. I live in a big city with terrible bike infrastructure so I\u2019m in very close contact with cars and need full mobility.", "author": "anon_b396f7a7", "created_utc": 1682118684, "created_iso": "2023-04-21T23:11:24Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/femalefashionadvice/comments/12um5s6/how_to_dress_casual_but_stylish_when_biking/", "community": "femalefashionadvice", "score": 12, "parent_id": null, "title": "How to dress casual, but stylish when biking?", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "slip", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:56:27Z"}

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_12hlslf", "text": "So I made a post on reflection on shifts in fashion in the previous ten years, and I thought I would continue this exploration. I also suggested that in one of my comments, and it was well-received, so here we go! This time, I will try to elaborate a bit on some things I did not touch on in my last post, and perhaps develop some thoughts that I briefly mentioned with more examples.\n\nAs last time, these are just my observations. I\u2019m biased in many ways - by age (32), geography (I live in the second largest city in Sweden, Europe), and other factors - social circles, social media, interests, social class. As previously stated, I\u2019ve compiled this by comparing today with yesterday (2014). I\u2019ve compared capsule wardrobes from 2014 with capsules from today. I\u2019ve been on Instagram, TikTok, and looked at blogs I used to follow. It\u2019s by no means a structured analysis, I\u2019ve just looked around and made observations, and people seemed to find it interesting and helpful.\n\nI also try to trace the lines in my own discovery. I'm sorry for using skinny jeans as a temperature check all the time, but it's just so easy to look at jeans. As previously stated, in 2014 skinny jeans were the basis of every capsule wardrobe. I wore skinny jeans 24/7. I had the Thursday model from the store Weekday in a light wash, dark wash, and black. In 2016 I posted fits here with their jeans. That same year I went to Berlin and oversized denim was in every vintage store. That year I bought my first pair of mom jeans. I thought they made me look huge. Its also the same year Jeanne Damas started the brand Rouje and cropped flares briefly was a trend among it-people, which in my mind was a glimpse of trends to come. 2018 I bought my first Lewis 501. Since 2021 they have been my jean wardrobe staple, and today I have no skinny jeans in my closet.\n\nSecondly, I try to map out the macro picture; what are the big shifts in fashion (as I see it), that has changed what we view as norm and neutral. Like when we build a capsule wardrobe, what do we consider to be the \u2018neutral\u2019 jean? I\u2019m not trying to capture the micro-trends; the seasonal it-pieces, or the one-season return of something really out there. It\u2019s really hard though - what is the start of a changing pattern and what is a fleeting trend, I would love to hear if you agree/disagree or if you have seen any other patterns! I also want to point out that I feel like some things might have become \"outdated\" or \"cringe\", but some things are still considered to look good, it's just not the norm anymore.\n\nBut. Onto the observation!\n\nGeneral/misc:\n\n* I feel like a lot of silhouettes and trends from the 2010s are starting to feel oversaturated, tired, no longer novel or sometimes \"cringe\". On the other hand, a lot of silhouettes and trends from the 90s and 00s that previously felt tired, oversaturated or \"cringe\" is now so far away in the past that they now start to feel fresh.\n* The trend is also to go from [top-heavy](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/39/5e/82/395e82bdc7373fe603ce333eab70e4f3.jpg) to [bottom-heavy](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/59/f2/4a/59f24aa5f87b6294371526041c3ee54d.jpg), but we also see a slimmer silhouette. I feel like we are going to see a lot of 70s inspired fashion thereof. Right now [big-on-big](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/5c/fb/13/5cfb13d7f28e8031fb46762485676a53.jpg) is also on trend, and i think therefor we also see some 80s and 90s inspiration, but i think we will move into a [slimmer top](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/f7/3d/f3/f73df319a34fe0594d027ca9f72ab4ab.jpg) in the future. We also se som [long slim](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/78/10/64/781064046a09f9d250975caa8603b00a.jpg) silhouettes. I feel Sezane and Rouje are very current brands. I feel like Ganni, Cult Gaia and Conner Ives are very in the future.\n* [Streetwear](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/58/a0/04/58a004ce7d097e13a12d5691980d59bb.jpg) is the new hipster. I really think so. If you are young and cool, you don't have a plaid shirt, lace up boots and selvedge jeans. Instead you have a hoodie, a bumbag and trainers.\n* Linen (the fabric) has had a moment for the last few years, and I do see it continuing for a good while. I do however think that the \u201dinfluencer - linen basics - unmade beds - beige\u201d has become a bit oversaturated. I think however linen as a fabric is just in the start of its revival, and i hope for more [colour in the future](https://www.pigletinbed.com/).\n* Although mum jeans are the new neutral, [Cargo pants](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/3a/f5/e8/3af5e87f1d9a00311fb723125b667e80.jpg), [wide leg](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/5d/dd/a8/5ddda873e1827db641080eab9a30cb8c.jpg) and [bootcut](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/0e/12/b5/0e12b5a69b22d408b4f593be91844882.jpg) is becoming more trendy, already a staple in young gen z's closets. I feel like we've seen wide leg creeping up for a while, but bootcut and cargo pants feels new.\n* I feel like french style is not as popular anymore. Not every capsule talks about the breton as a classic, and i more seldom hear about how French girls know how to skincare/effortless hairstyling/some other glamourised idea about the French girl. I feel like there is still some romance around France (especially with the launch of the tv series Emily in Paris), but the former hype became somewhat silly.\n\nOuterwear\n\n* The moto jacket, although still cool, is not as prevalent as [it was (2013)](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/aa/24/af/aa24af9ca5a321308a49eec3fbd763b0.jpg). It\u2019s not the ONE cool jacket to perfect every outfit. People don't constantly dress up a tee with a moto or dress down a dress with a moto. And among leather jackets, [other shapes](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/c4/cc/5c/c4cc5c3edbd6e107c07e289e6d4d541a.jpg) are becoming [more popular](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/77/df/17/77df17e6ed66b9bffb328f0dfce5df89.jpg).\n* Generally, I feel like the hipster trend was taking silhouette inspiration from the [50s](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/cf/61/1b/cf611b7877bd033a83919d3c556c3126.jpg) and [60s](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/bb/71/91/bb7191b78d39d8a26cc040004cdf65ee.jpg),  favored more structured jackets, (flannel shirts, moto jackets, cropped corduroy jackets), whereas the trend now is both more oversized - both puffier - Cropped puffer jackets are a huge trend - but also longer, oversized blazers and longer jackets, taking inspiration from the 90s.\n\nDresses\n\n* I think [this](https://julialundin.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/PL1_0079.jpg?7ec4e9&7ec4e9) is pretty representative what an LBD could be in 2014 (also styled with the cropped leather jacket). Today I think a [slinkier, softer](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/48/28/e7/4828e71eff123adefd4974e8f6c84805.jpg) silhouette is more prevalent. I think midi slip dresses are the little black (or colourful) dress of today. I really think dresses are moving towards slimmer and longer shapes.\n\nShoes\n\n* Like i previously said, shoes in general are chunkier. I just wanted to reiterate this with some more pictures. Compare these [loafers](https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RQE4wDrJGWY/U_OS1-5nLHI/AAAAAAAAVG4/rRTwWavtxqc/s1600/musthavesloafers.jpg) to this [loafer](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/0b/9f/4c/0b9f4c3b95e978fedb1098ecd421cd2c.jpg). Or these [oxfords](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/69/ee/00/69ee00d4abf74331e253a50742eb789e.jpg) to these [oxford shoes](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/ba/de/e7/badee79d38506b6b9a75366088aca9dd.jpg). If you see oxfords - I rarely see Oxford shoes or other lace-up shoes. I feel like the loafer has completely taken over the spot as the business casual shoe of choice. I think the new silhouette is a bit less sleek and business appropriate, but it\u2019s really nice with a good grip.\n* Birkenstocks reign supreme among sandals. Sandals are tricky. I almost feel like none except birks are on trend right now. And even when they're not Birkenstock they [still look like Birkenstock](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/88/fe/9d/88fe9d0e90f08e6805b21053e614bf71.jpg)\n* Some people say the ballet flats are coming back, I would love it if that was true. The ballet flat has not been trendy for a long time. I think however, with boots and shoes being chunkier, there is really a renewed space for the ballet flat as the dainty shoe.\n* The trendy sneakers of today are - pardon my opinion lol - SO ugly. It\u2019s all out workout gym trainers. Like [what is this?](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/51/74/03/517403af34006208223817cbb34cc3f2.jpg) Sleek sneakers are not as trendy.\n\nHats\n\n* [Hats](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/35/4f/2b/354f2b67c9e78aca80468aec84cca240.jpg) used to be a [big trend](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/f6/35/40/f6354095ccd830bbf5fed8e7962802d7.jpg). I never see them anymore and when I do I feel like it looks dated. I do love the hat though - I have a burgundy one that gives a very noir feel to an outfit. I feel like even the cap is not as popular as it used to be. On the other hand, the [bucket hat](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/55/f4/d7/55f4d7a5a688fea1bce2a894a6b95488.jpg) is really popular and has become mainstream. Hair scarves are also really having a moment, which I think is lovely. Especially [tied in a triangle around your hair](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/e0/67/e6/e067e69882dc5f2684d6c2b0b5968cfb.jpg). Hope it stays. \ud83e\udd1e\n\nAccessories\n\n* I touched on it last post, but I think bags are moving towards retro 90s and 00s shapes. As I previously touched on, the short strap (on bags) is on its way into fashion. Prada has a real [it-bag](https://www.pinterest.se/pin/709950328762344496/), which is a rerelease of a 2005 bag. It\u2019s both incredibly current and timeless, which I think is key to its success. The baguette bag is really popular; I do think it is lovely but do I want to sweat on my bags? It\u2019s better than the clutch at least, freeing up your arm. I also think this [type of bag](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/09/1a/86/091a8676894822714d36cee732e45add.jpg) will be more current as opposed to [this type](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/82/2f/3f/822f3f85df539f5d5372b1e5fb22094b.jpg) that I feel we've seen.\n\nAlright, this was my part two. I think I was a bit bolder in this part and dared to sometimes move away from the changing norms I am pretty sure of and also dare to include some trends and predictions. I don't think I will do any more parts to this, but I might write more in the future on trends I am excited about, now that I'm getting deep into contemporary fashion. Hope you have enjoyed it!\n\nAgain, I would love to have your input! When I read some responses in the previous post I made, I also really got the feeling that the fashion cycle moves at different speeds in different places. What trends and shifts are you seeing? Do you agree with what I've seen or am I just in a strange bubble? Do you agree about the direction I see? How do you feel about shifts in fashion?", "author": "anon_0064ae59", "created_utc": 1681139734, "created_iso": "2023-04-10T15:15:34Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/femalefashionadvice/comments/12hlslf/part_ii_reflecting_on_shifts_in_fashion_over_the/", "community": "femalefashionadvice", "score": 1141, "parent_id": null, "title": "Part II: Reflecting on shifts in fashion over the last 10 years", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "slip", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:56:27Z"}

Am I alone?\n\nOn one hand: I feel very grateful that as women it is socially acceptable for us to carry a bag to keep all our stuff in. I know many people fetishize pockets but I hate having my pockets stuffed full of stuff\u2014 sometimes it can ruin the lines of an outfit.\n\nOn the other hand: I kind of hate them. The plain ones read kind of mumsy to me, and the statement ones can pull an outfit too far in one direction\u2014 I don\u2019t wear clothes with spikes or bling, I don\u2019t wear pastels, why would I carry an accessory that had those things?\n\nMy style tends toward darker colors and I like a balance of masculine & feminine elements too (for work: think a dark printed dress with motorcycle boots, or pleated 1940s-style wool trousers with a tucked-in printed blouse in a dark color. On weekends: black wide-legged trousers with a graphic tee or a sweater + printed scarf, black and white Vejas). I think a purse sometimes pulls the outfit too femme for me, maybe? But then again\u2014 I need one.\n\nIt\u2019s not a problem for work because I have a laptop bag that I like. But weekends and evenings are problematic. Add to it I have kids and basically need a crossbody style for practicality (over the shoulder styles slip on me, not sure why). Currently I\u2019m carrying an olive Fjallraven backpack which is fine but a bit too casual/shitty looking for my style. In London right now for a long weekend and wish I had something nicer that could still fit my wallet, phone, keys, a water bottle, etc. for day. \n\nI have been perusing purse forums and The RealReal and while I have come to admire the artistry of some purse designs, I have come to some conclusions about what I dislike: logo bags, bags with chain straps (reads as hyper femme to me) and really structured bags (although structured bags appear to be super in right now, these also read as hyper femme to me). I like satchel- and doctor-bag styles in neutral colors other than black.\n\nFor day, I just ordered a super beat-up Mulberry Alexa in dark green from The RealReal. I am eying an Eve Crossbody in black from AllSaints for evening (the quilting plus the heavy hardware read as a pleasingly femme/masc balance). \n\nI am curious: Am I alone in my mixed feelings about purses?

The straight cut jacket is long (sometimes even covering the butt), double-breasted, and can be oversized. The new crop of jackets are shorter, go in at the waist, and are either single button or have a single row of buttons, a la [Dior Bar Jacket](https://www.dior.com/couture/var/dior/storage/images/folder-media/folder-productpage/folder-crossselllook/folder-femme/folder-winter-22/block-f_22_4_look_096/35141174-1-eng-GB/f_22_4_look_096_1440_1200.jpg). \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\nIf you feel like your office is too casual for a blazer, you can opt for a more casual material than the classic black suiting.

Nothing is. Allow me to explain. Yes, the concept of wearing a white shirt will never be \u201cdated\u201d because that\u2019s not how fashion works. An entire category of clothes rarely goes out of style. However, **the specific characteristics** of a shirt can, and do become outdated. Things like the shape and size of the collar, the cuffs, the buttons, and the length and the shape itself are all very specific to a certain era.\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nThe \u201cclassic\u201d white shirt from 2003 is tight, short (because it was worn untucked), oftentimes with an oversized and pointy collar and cuffs. The \u201cclassic\u201d white shirt from 2010 is longer and straighter, with a tunic collar that does not button up, occasionally meant to be worn with a wide belt on top to emphasize the waist. It was meant to be worn untucked, on top of tight pants. The sleeves had tabs that buttoned up to keep your sleeves rolled up around elbow-level. There might have been some square pockets that were placed too high. We also saw more long, empire-waist tunic-type shirts in this 2008-2012-ish period. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nThe \u201cclassic\u201d white shirt from 2023 is a generous cut that\u2019s long enough to tuck into your pants or skirt, but not long enough to cover your butt. It should end around your hip. That means that you can also wear it untucked, over your pants, without it looking frumpy. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nSeeing as the fashion is moving towards tighter and shorter shirts (no, we\u2019re not talking about crop tops) to go with the wider bottoms, you can also expect to find more body-conforming shirts in the near future. Shirts with a marked waist, princess seams, and generally a variety of tops that go in at the waist. The blazers and jackets with tapered waists are already present, so we can expect the shirts to not lag too far behind.\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n##The pants\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nSome examples:\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n[pants 1](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/70/16/50/701650291c7f2159d198e3f534b5a764--vogue-fashion-fashion-men.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n[pants 2](https://stylishcurves.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/paperbag-waist-pants-styled.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n[pants 3](https://i1.adis.ws/i/boohooamplience/bkk00770_black_xl?$product_image_category_page_horizontal_filters_desktop$)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n[pants 4](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/images/plus-size-fashion-paperbag-waist-pants-1660765331.jpg?crop=0.918xw:0.919xh;0.0204xw,0.0806xh&amp;resize=980:*) \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n[pants 5](https://livelovesara.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/I-am-wearing-black-turtleneck-bodysuit-wide-leg-trousers-a-navy-blue-striped-blazer-and-blue-Veja-sneakers..jpg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n[pants 6](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/8a/af/23/8aaf2302a9daf8e2ad1447e8de757f06.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n[pants 7](https://riverism.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/short-cardigans-with-trousers.jpeg) \n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n[pants 8](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0573/4229/products/3.ARLEY-SHIRT-WHITE-LEINA-AND-FLEUR_1400x.jpg?v=1675317289) \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n[pants 9](https://riverism.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Neutrals-outfit-for-spring.jpeg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n[pants 10](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/a9/eb/18/a9eb185aebe549f29fa3b7eb8cf521b3.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n###Slacks\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\nThe current standard cut for a pair of office slacks (including suits) is a high-waisted straight leg or wide leg pair of pants, usually full length. Cropped, ankle length pants are still encountered, but usually in culotte, or wide styles, less so skinny pants. The high-waisted cigarette pants (or carrot leg, or peg leg) are still out there, but the style is meant to be a little roomier in the butt and thighs; the office is not the place for your tightest pair of pants. These often come in a paperbag waist style, which is very flattering on a lot of body types, as well as comfortable - because the belt is adjustable. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nThe rise is getting lower, however, as low rise is coming back into fashion, meaning that you should be able to find midrise and lowrise pants in wide cuts if that\u2019s what you\u2019ve been waiting for. That won\u2019t change much for footwear, but it might trigger some changes in terms of tops, depending on what styles you\u2019re wearing now. If you were used to tucking shirts into high waisted pants, a low waist doesn\u2019t allow for that. So, you probably need to rethink and re-strategize towards a top that sits untucked, at the top of the hips, for the most traditionally harmonious proportions. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nNowadays, a lot of pants have elasticated back waistbands, or even entirely elasticated waists or drawstring waists. [Office joggers exist](https://outfittrends.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/plus-size-interview-outfits-5.jpg.webp) for the new iteration of the more casual and relaxed post-pandemic office. Rises and cuts are encountered in generous varieties. There is no reason for a standard pair of slacks to be uncomfortable. And god, are there office pants of all varieties right now. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n(A quick note on fit: \n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nEven without stretch, a pair of pants that fits well should not be uncomfortable, should not pinch you anywhere, dig into your stomach, or feel tight or constricting. Size up, go for a straight or wide leg if a tight leg is constricting, and try a higher or lower rise if your waistband cuts into your stomach. Do not purchase the smallest size you can fit into. Bosquerella did [an excellent write-up](https://www.reddit.com/r/femalefashionadvice/comments/s6ynwh/psa_being_told_to_size_up_is_the_advice_you_asked) on the matter you can revisit if you need the reminder. Everyone deserves pants that fit. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nWhatever type of rise you\u2019re searching for, I recommend measuring your ideal rise from between the legs and up to where you want it to hit, whether that\u2019s 11 inches, 14 inches, 8 inches, etc. Take a tape measure shopping if you have to. Measure the pants you\u2019re interested in or learn to eyeball it, the name of the style doesn\u2019t necessarily tell you anything about how they\u2019re going to fit ON YOU, because all our bodies are different. Depending on the length of your torso, you may need a different rise than the model does. Shop for your body.)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n###Stretchy pants\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nLeggings have never exactly been business casual, and regardless of their debatable status, they\u2019re just not current anymore. Leggings just don\u2019t read as polished when paired with business casual clothes, and they require a high level of effort in every other aspect of the outfit in order to elevate them and make them presentable and current in the workplace. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nThe exception to this is an athleisure look in a workplace that is very casual and allows sportswear. Think tech or non client-facing roles in other industries. And speaking of leggings, let\u2019s address their ugly stepsister, ponte pants. Despite their misleading name, they do not look like pants, let\u2019s be honest. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nIf stretchy pants are your go-to, the much better - and more modern - option is a pair of straight leg athletic fabric pants. Straight leg or flared, usually with a front seam or crease and even equipped with pockets, this version at least attempts to mimic the look of regular pants. \n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n##The heels\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nSome examples:\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n[heels 1](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/c3/c0/72/c3c072c0a985db820ba609b7af676034.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n[heels 2](https://www.girlsharestips.com/wp-content/uploads/blazer-outfit-ideas-for-women-31.jpeg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n[heels 3](https://outfittrends.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/What-to-wear-with-Mary-Jane-platform-shoes-7.png)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n[heels 4](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/a6/e0/58/a6e0583e3405f6b1888282c61a4a1b3c.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\nWhile there are still plenty of industries and offices where heels are common or even explicitly required, they are becoming less and less expected.

A patent, square mid heel will serve you well. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nHeeled mary-janes are currently the IT shoe, and there are variations on the strappy, mid heel style at many different price points. Usually patent - but also leather, for easier maintenance, or satin, for the high-maintenance dressers - mary janes are comfortable, versatile, inoffensive, and come in many different colors at the moment. Sole thickness differs, as does shape, but a lot of them follow the rounded square shape that is currently popular in footwear. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nBoots haven\u2019t gone anywhere, either.

The Gucci-type loafer and the trend it sparked is a little more basic and doesn\u2019t stand out as much. It\u2019s less of a statement, and more of a supporting character in an outfit. The platform loafers, like the Prada ones, for example, are trendier, but they\u2019re also very comfortable. The thicker sole is very supportive and provides good shock absorption if you\u2019re going to be walking miles in them. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nIf you want to retain the ballet flat style, the modern ballet flat has a flatter, square shape and dance-inspired detailing that is meant to mimic actual ballet shoes. Pointed toe shoes are also coming back in fashion, and the most modern iteration of a pointed ballet flat is a slingback. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\nMary-janes also have a strong presence among flat shoe styles. One, two, or multi-strap, in patent, leather or canvas, for summer, mary-janes are the perfect feminine, but sophisticated shoe that can work with a variety of outfits, including pants and skirts of varying lengths. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n##The bag\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nSome examples:\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[bag1]( https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/ByYC0ffWvIovhlI3jJRwW0UYX6U/fit-in/728xorig/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2023/01/18/819/n/1922564/aa18bcd363c83d01e97e45.87708689_/i/best-work-bags-women.png) \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n[bag2](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0315/0217/2298/files/spring_480x480.jpg?v=1615309203)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n[bag3](https://i.etsystatic.com/13418459/r/il/1eae72/4680793460/il_794xN.4680793460_16rc.jpg) \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n[bag4](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1337/8601/files/Screen_Shot_2021-11-09_at_5.05.47_PM_480x480.png?v=1636499162)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nBags for the office can be tricky, because they oftentimes have to carry your whole life, but still remain professional-looking. That\u2019s one of the reasons why huge, unstructured bags like the LV Neverfull and the Longchamp Le Pliage were popular for so long - they\u2019re not cute, but they\u2019re practical. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nThankfully, something even better came along, and that is the bizcas backpack. Carrying a laptop, your lunch, your water bottle, your umbrella, and your gym shoes on your shoulder is a one-way ticket to a messed up posture, health problems, and an expensive chiropractor bill. Choose comfort, practicality, *and* fashion by opting for a modern backpack, instead of a gaping nylon bag with thin straps that dig into your shoulder. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nLeather is the most elevated choice, but leather backpacks can be heavy, depending on size and construction, so take your time assessing the best material for your needs. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n###Fun/casual/out of the box alternatives\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n##The colorful suit\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\nSome examples:\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n[suit1]( https://imgix.bustle.com/uploads/image/2019/3/20/9d432bd6-1472-43d9-abe9-7e9b3b85b7db-53165368_819642411731554_6671121307143819952_n.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n[suit2](https://fashioncanons.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Powersuits-For-Women-Best-Street-Style-Looks-To-Copy-3-scaled.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n[suit3]( https://fashioncanons.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Powersuits-For-Women-Best-Street-Style-Looks-To-Copy-2-scaled.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n[suit4]( https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/images/plus-size-outfit-ideas-for-fall-aidy-bryant-suit-1626726422.jpg?crop=0.9102222222222222xw:1xh;center,top&amp;resize=980:*)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n[suit5](https://www.refinery29.com/images/9518564.jpg?format=pjpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;resize-filter=lanczos2&amp;quality=50&amp;sharpen=a3%2Cr3%2Ct0&amp;optimize=low&amp;width=960)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n[suit6](https://fashioncanons.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/what-to-wear-over-powersuit-2.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n[suit7]( https://fashioncanons.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Powersuits-For-Women-Best-Street-Style-Looks-To-Copy-1.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\nIf you\u2019re in a more formal industry that still expects a suit, the best thing you can do for your work wardrobe is to get yourself a colorful one. Suiting is huge right now - and has been for a few years - so there is no shortage of office-appropriate options that won\u2019t bore you to death. Valentino pink is particularly prevalent as it\u2019s one of the hot colors of the season, but Bottega green is also in, and you can find an entire range of power colors to give you that extra pop. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nIf you\u2019d rather play it more subdued, there are plenty of pastel options to choose from. Softer, more feminine, but still 100% professional, pastel suits allow you to cheer up your office wardrobe, particularly for the spring and summer seasons, as these tend to come in summer-weight fabrics. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n##The interesting top\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\nSome examples:\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n[top1](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d2/d4/8e/d2d48eb8a0571f48a6879de5934d25f7.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n[top2](https://media.glamourmagazine.co.uk/photos/63f4f2dca2a28949d1e3e4f8/master/w_1600,c_limit/WHITE%20SHIRTS%20%20210223%20GettyImages-1459378843.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n[top3]( https://i0.wp.com/closetfulofclothes.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/oversized-cuffs-frayed-denim-simiple-black-pumps-going-out-night-out-office-to-out-work-www.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n[top4](https://outfittrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/white-shirt-outfits-7.png)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n[top5](https://40plusstyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/juliejeans.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n[top6](https://i1.adis.ws/i/boohooamplience/bkk04786_red_xl?$product_image_category_page_horizontal_filters_desktop$)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0[top7](https://publish.purewow.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/black-jeans-outfit-blouse-and-block-heels.png?fit=728%2C921)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\nIf you want a look that\u2019s more elevated, but still retains the same basic neutral top + neutral bottoms formula, all you have to do is tweak the style of the shirt. You can still keep it white, or another neutral shade, but make sure there\u2019s an interesting design to it. You can play with shape - oversized, billowy, straight, cropped, voluminous, etc. - it\u2019s up to you and your preferences, design details - voluminous sleeves, interesting neckline details, contrasting trims or buttons, etc., material - silk, linen, satin (very current), which also impact drape and silhouette. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\nAgain, color is not something you need to shy away from in the workplace, especially if you\u2019re going to pair it with neutrals. There is nothing about colorful clothes that is inherently unprofessional (unless you work at a funeral home). If a top is professional in white, it\u2019s also professional in blue, or magenta. A \u201cspicy\u201d shirt can be the visual interest you need in an otherwise drab work outfit. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\n##The midi skirt\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\nSome examples:\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[midi 1](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62d1ac8b005fcb0457a8d85f/1673157327421-NKD71A84YLVYYHVJ3TZQ/maxi+skirts+-+%40SYLVIEMUS_.jpg?format=2500w)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[midi 2](https://cdn.cliqueinc.com/posts/296426/best-skirts-on-amazon-296426-1637044862836-image.900x0c.jpg?interlace=true&amp;quality=70)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[midi 3](https://www.girlsharestips.com/wp-content/uploads/blazer-outfit-ideas-for-women-43.jpeg) \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[midi 4](https://publish.purewow.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/01/all-black-winter-outfits-midi-skirt-and-cropped-knit.jpg?fit=1360%2C1852)\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n[midi 5](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/7d/2a/4f/7d2a4fe239f4bb750290c70138b01aa1.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[midi 6](https://i0.wp.com/www.peopleandstyles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/side-slit-skirts-sexy-update-to-your-wear-to-work-look-street-style-peopleandstyles-4.jpg?fit=700%2C1118)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n[midi 7](https://www.girlsharestips.com/wp-content/uploads/blazer-outfit-ideas-for-women-44.jpeg) \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n[midi 8](https://blog.petitedressing.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/loafers-17-473x1024.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nYou may have noticed that in recent years, THE skirt/dress length has been the midi. Reaching around mid calf, the midi oftentimes has a medium to long leg slit. BUT there are simpler and less sexy versions for the office. The shape is straight or conical, rather than the A-line accordion pleated midis we saw around 2016. However, it\u2019s not the tight pencil skirt shape of the 2010s, either. Think more body-skimming, rather than a spandex-y bodycon. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nIn addition to being very current, the midi is very office-friendly because of the conservative length. It goes great with heels, but it also looks good with flats, especially the more modern chunky shoes. A midi skirt can be worn with a classic button-up shirt, or a thin turtleneck, a chunky knit, a t-shirt for more casual offices, and it can even be taken out for drinks or shopping after work or on the weekend. A very versatile piece that can work hard in your wardrobe for the next few years. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nThe danger with a long skirt is to not veer into frumpy, church-y territory. If you\u2019re going for a midi look, I recommend styling it in a very intentional way, with some very modern accessories. A midi skirt with a thin-soled ballet shoe from 2012 and a long, thin cardigan might look frumpy and awkward, but a midi with a chunky loafer and an oversized blazer looks like an intentional outfit. Same with boots - forego the heeled low cut ankle boot and instead, opt for a chunky knee-high boot. It can also look very chic with a longer, oversized, chunky knit.\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nAnother way to make sure it\u2019s not reading frumpy is to pick a modern fabric. Leather skirts are very in right now, as are satin slip-style skirts. In the right cut and in a high-quality material, they can be professional, while still remaining stylish. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\u00a0\n##The sneakers\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nSome examples:\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[sneakers1](https://media.theeverygirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/sneakers-office-outfits-the-everygirl-gallery.png)\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n[sneakers2](https://st.mngbcn.com/rcs/pics/static/T8/fotos/outfit/S20/87042882_99-99999999_01.jpg?ts=1606300544915&amp;imwidth=1318&amp;imdensity=2)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[sneakers3](https://www.girlsharestips.com/wp-content/uploads/blazer-outfit-ideas-for-women-47.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[sneakers4](https://thecurvyfashionista.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/105_2668-e1570820739508.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n[sneakers5](https://cdn.cliqueinc.com/posts/250786/sneaker-outfits-250786-1618362772906-main.900x0c.jpg?interlace=true&amp;quality=70)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[sneakers6](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1142/0618/files/Plaid_Blazer_From_Luxe_With_Love_large.jpg?v=1546990199)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[sneakers7](https://i.styleoholic.com/2018/07/05-a-powder-blue-suit-a-white-tee-white-sneakers-and-a-silver-bag.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n[sneakers8](https://thecurvyfashionista.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/AirMaxDay-PrettyplusPep4-e1570820149282.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[sneakers9](https://cdn.cliqueinc.com/posts/250786/sneaker-outfits-250786-1618362217881-main.900x0c.jpg?interlace=true&amp;quality=70)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\u00a0\nThe main aspect people appreciate about wearing sneakers is that they are comfortable. But if you\u2019re looking to update your work wardrobe, you should know that Allbirds-style shoes are an outdated style. A black pair *could* be somewhat neutral, especially combined with a [chic, modern all-black outfit](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/20/30/1a/20301a413d025332047845afbb6871c8.jpg). \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\nBut there are equally comfortable sneakers out there that are sleeker, more modern, and more professional. You don\u2019t have to wear the chunky dad sneakers your 15 year-old is wearing, but a sleek, white sneaker with a clean shape that\u2019s not overly stylized or embellished is a perfectly respectable choice that will bring your work style closer to 2023. No synthetic mesh, please.\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nIf you feel like white is too stark and stands out too much as an athletic shoe, black is always a safe choice. If you can afford to be really daring in a casual office, you can even try a pair of platform converse. They\u2019re not just more current, but they\u2019re also much more comfortable, because the sole isn\u2019t as thin and lacking in support as the classic version. Plus you get a tiny bit of height, even without heels. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n##The jeans\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\u00a0\nSome examples:\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n[jeans1](https://cdn.cliqueinc.com/posts/248544/cute-outfits-with-black-jeans-248544-1603664436620-image.900x0c.jpg?interlace=true&amp;quality=70) \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n[jeans2](https://publish.purewow.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/black-jeans-outfit-white-trench-and-white-boots.png?fit=728%2C921)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n[jeans3](https://i.styleoholic.com/2019/04/a-white-shirt-blue-straight-jeans-leopard-print-slingbacks-and-a-black-bag-two-trends-incorporated-in-one-outfit.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n[jeans4](https://www.girlsharestips.com/wp-content/uploads/blazer-outfit-ideas-for-women-37.jpeg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n[jeans5](https://cdn.cliqueinc.com/posts/298687/best-spring-outfits-with-jeans-298687-1647919863790-main.900x0c.jpg?interlace=true&amp;quality=70)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\nJeans in the workplace were once a hotly debated matter and it may still depend entirely on your specific office. But in a post-covid world, where so many are reluctant to even go back to the office at all, dress codes have relaxed and jeans are more prevalent than ever before. And why shouldn\u2019t they be? A good rule of thumb for wearing jeans in the office is to stick to a pair that is non-distressed, and solid-colored. No rips, stone washing, or fading and whiskering. Black, dark blue, or mid-blue are all okay colors. Maybe even white, in the summer. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nFor an updated outfit, the new styles of jeans are all very workplace-friendly, because they don\u2019t cling to the body so tightly like skinny jeans did, so they\u2019re not emphasizing anything that an old white man might be offended by or overly taken by. There is no reason why a pair of straight leg or wide leg jeans shouldn\u2019t pair great with a shirt, a sweater, a blazer, and a pair of loafers for a casual office environment. I\u2019d stick to jeans that are actually hemmed, and not distressed, but at the same time, your legs are mostly under a desk, so only you know what you can get away with!\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n#Modernize your office fit\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nFinally, let\u2019s look at some typical, average office fits you\u2019d see 10 years ago, and how we can retain the same basic, reliable structure, but with updated pieces. Allow me to remind you that we don\u2019t need to throw out the clothes in the outdated examples and replace them all with clothes from the updated ones! You can get more mileage out of your clothes if you mix and match with some more modern pieces. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n##sweater + black pants\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n[do this](https://www.uptowngirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/winter-work-outfits-22.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[instead of this](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/e0/52/52/e05252880ffbc9de47d0d72033d07b7c.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\nThe cut matters so much in an outfit, as you can see in these examples. We\u2019re still retaining the exact same formula, but we\u2019re simply updating the pieces. While it\u2019s still a big, oversized gray sweater, the style becomes chunkier, with balloon sleeves. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nThe black pants are flared instead of skinny, which is a more modern cut. The boots aren\u2019t almond-toe, but pointed, and they match the other light-colored accessories. \n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n##\u00a0long top/sweater + leggings + flats\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n[do this](http://ladyfashioniser.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/white-sweater-black-leggings-and-white-sneakers.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n[instead of this](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/b3/ed/8d/b3ed8da6fad744de166065922a46f009--gray-flats-outfit-light-grey-cardigan-outfit.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf your office is casual enough, you may still be able to get away with wearing leggings. Rather than pairing them with ballet flats, opt for a pair of sleek sneakers. You can still keep the white shirt and the knit format, but update to a chunky knit sweater, instead of the thin cardigan. Accessorizing with a big scarf indoors is unnecessary, unless it\u2019s cold. If you want to keep the accent scarf, opt for a thinner silk square scarf, instead. \n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n##top + cardigan + slacks\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n[do this](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/1e/39/7f/1e397fbcc564ef0395c88b3c3df5bf10.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n[instead of this](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z5FdCuw0TyM/TWdElnUTTGI/AAAAAAAAB9w/J-V_gOspc5M/s1600/022411-4.JPG)\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nThis is a great example of how you can still wear your long cardigans in a much more modern fit. If you look at the first example, that short, tight cardigan on top of a tight top makes it look like the cardigan doesn\u2019t fit her properly; it\u2019s straining on her body. That\u2019s never a flattering fit. The looser cardigan with a more generous cut in the second example allows for a more comfortable fit. \n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nThe belt is present in both examples for waist emphasis, but tucking the top inside the pants rather than letting it hang on top is an instant update you can easily make to your everyday fit. If you prefer an untucked top, that\u2019s perfectly fine, but choose a looser fit and not a tight jersey top. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nAccessories also irrevocably date an outfit. The chunky statement jewelry can easily be swapped for simpler pieces that subtly enhance and highlight, rather than being the focus of your overall fit. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n##sweater + jeans\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n[do this](https://media.nastygal.com/i/nastygal/agg08273_black_xl_1/plus-size-slouchy-v-neck-sweater-vest)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n[instead of this](https://www.brightontheday.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Grey-Mock-Neck-Turtleneck-Black-Jeans-and-Black-Tory-Burch-Riding-Boots-Fall-Outfit-11-700x1050.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you\u2019re gonna do a knit with jeans for work, you can easily update the look. Swap the skinnies for a pair of straight leg jeans. The riding boots or ankle boots can be changed into combat boots or a chunky pair of oxfords, and the knit can be swapped for a chunkier, either cropped or oversized sweater. Or you can opt for an oversized knit vest.

It\u2019s still a style that conforms to your shape, just more modern and less constricting. The shirt is tucked into the jeans, instead of a long, untucked shirt. We still keep flat shoes, but we choose something with a platform. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nAgain, opting for minimal jewelry over the chunky, statement necklaces will instantly make your otufit feel fresher and more modern. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you found this helpful, check out the previous post on updating skinny jeans &amp; new jean styles to try: \n\u00a0https://www.reddit.com/r/femalefashionadvice/comments/11cp9nb/your_wardrobe_is_outdated_what_now_step_1_skinny\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0", "author": "anon_5e34f9c8", "created_utc": 1678309154, "created_iso": "2023-03-08T20:59:14Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/femalefashionadvice/comments/11m7yxr/updating_an_outdated_wardrobe_part_2_office_wear/", "community": "femalefashionadvice", "score": 2280, "parent_id": null, "title": "Updating An Outdated Wardrobe.

I\u2019m at a loss with shoes and what to pair them with. I saw this concern voiced many times in the outdated jean post.\n\nSpecific issues I\u2019ve had are as follows, which seems to be similar issues mentioned in the comments of the aforementioned post:\n\n1. I just cannot do heels bc of my foot anatomy. At most I could swing a chunky 1\u201d.\n2. What are acceptable, modern/trendy shoes to wear as a step up from say, the basic white chunky tennis shoe or funky combat boot - when trying to dress up jeans (that aren\u2019t heels)?\n3. A step beyond that, what are current non heeled dress/formal shoes?\n4. What are alternatives to the basic ankle boot that are more trendy/modern?\n\nIn general, I find I cannot fit my feet into most cute shoes (very wide feet) \u2026 which is the biggest issue, and the rules out most shoes. I\u2019ve never been the girl to walk into a shoes store and slip on any shoe. Alongside that, I have ugly feet so closed toed are always my go to, despite living in a hot, humid climate. That\u2019s more of a personal rant, but also hopeful someone may have advice here as well.\n\nAny suggestions on the above are appreciated, and any additional discussion welcome!\n\nEdit: Wow! Glad this post got some traction, as I\u2019m hoping it\u2019ll help fellow shoe concern-ers as well as it\u2019s helped me reading through the comments.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_13bbjwu", "text": "This is such a \"if you know you know\" but the chokehold that this group of people had on the viewers during that time frame was unmatched. You'd watch them go to Vegas, Disneyland, the Bahamas, or stupid collab dare challenges with each other, or for some reason a bunch of them tried having music careers and collabing with one another in music?\n\nI remember there were allegations of sexual misconduct against a lot of the male \"musicians\" in that group (as exposed via Tumblr post -- that was the era we were in), but it seemed like a good chunk of the people in that squad were able to get away pretty fine in terms of career success without really commenting on those scandals. Ingrid Nilsen, Fleur DeForce, Zoella, Tanya Burr, were BGs who, while obviously having a decline since then (it's been over a decade) were still thriving and had followers outside of the \"squad\" they were in to support them. Nikki Phillippi was also sort of soft associated with that gang but has declined for obvious reasons. I think Tati did a collab later on as well. \n\nBut there were tons like Sawyer Hartman, Whitney Milan, Catrific, Brittani Louise Taylor, etc. who quickly took a nose dive after the support of others cross promotion ended, or so it seems. \n\nThere's also the weirdness of the Fowler sisters who -allegedly- were told by their agent that they shouldn't appear in others vlogs. There's plenty of vlogs where Blair posts her own footage but she's clearly omitted from everyone else's. Who was this agent that thought this was a good idea? I feel like being in other people's content is a great way not only to be promoted but to show yourself in a more authentic, candid way, which was something the Fowlers always struggled with, especially when they got dumped on for all their sponsored content being seen as inauthentic.\n\nI also think someone needs if it hasn't been done already, to do an evaluation of this group's content feeling intentionally sanitized to gear towards a younger audience. Even in vlogs, which were seen as more candid, most of the content was pretty PG-PG13 despite the substance being about a group of adults in their 20s-30s going out together. There were some vloggers who would slip in some more \"adult\" jokes, which makes it obvious that they were acting like regular humans that age, but culling it down so that it could work for younger viewers. It was almost like creating a fantasy of adulthood that would appeal to 10-14 year olds. \n\n(almost like a precursor or more subtle version of the Niki and Gabi or Wengie content where someone who is clearly an adult is making content pretending like they are relatable to 9 year olds)\n\nI just would pay so much good money for someone who was in that group to break down what was going on behind the scenes. I don't even think it needs to be \"tea\" like that people secretly hated each other or whatnot, though I'm sure that happened. I want to know things like what everyone's financial situation was to be living that kind of lifestyle in LA (I remember Kalel went on a vacation with them and was complaining about how underwhelming the resort was for the price they paid; that made me question how financial decisions for group outings got decided). There's no way everyone was able to make a living off of the, for some, less than 80k views they were getting for videos and not doing any sponsorships. Are these all just trust fund kids? If the vlogging wasn't profitable for many of them, why did they do it so long? What influenced the decision to stop? \n\nI remember many years later when Ingrid mentioned Catrific in her coming out video I was taken aback because I genuinely had no idea anyone in that group still had, not just a connection, but a genuine enough friendship that they were perceived as someone safe to go to with that kind of issue. How many of them are still actual genuine friends? How did the sexual misconduct allegations affect the group as a whole? Who was behind this incessant desire for them all to be involved in music in some capacity? Was that profitable at all?\n\nAnyway, maybe it's me who needs to do this deep dive.

I myself have tried the slip tint and also hated it -- I found the gel texture to be really strange, feel sticky as all get out on the face, and it had horrible staying power (like it lasted an hour maybe on my face). I really wanted to love it and gave it a fair shot since I figured I must be doing something wrong when all the reviews are so glowing. On Sephora and Saie's own site, the reviews are all amazing for every product, seeming to average nearly 5/5 stars.\n\nHLP says in her video that she finds the reviews hard to believe and that they seem fake (though she makes sure to say thats all conjecture!)  and I can't help but agree. Of course not everyone has the same tastes, but watching her review and my own experience make me think these products are actually pretty poorly formulated and more people should be having negative experiences with them. The products aren't the worst in the world, but I'm surprised/sus that no review mentions the issues that HLP showed. For instance she had footage of the SPF pilling horribly, the highlighting balm being thick, difficult to apply, and lackluster, and the lip gloss being a strange texture that barely lasted on the lips.\n\n[Looking at reviews on the Saie site for the gloss](https://saiehello.com/products/really-great-lip-gloss?variant=32102677643324#shopify-product-reviews) for example, the reviews seem a little canned. Like the vast majority of them mention it is \"not sticky,\" which also happens to be how Saie describes it on the site copy.  I guess that is a common issue with glosses, but it seems like they're following a script. The site says they're \"verified buyers\u201d and \u201cverified reviewers,\u201d whatever that means. Am I crazy?\n\nIs anyone else suspicious of Saie?

It\u2019s not a pass to let racism, bigotry, hate, etc. slip into your vocabulary.\n\nHowever.\n\nTbh, I do not like the first round of spin from the skincare BGs who recommended and were sponsored by Purito (Hyram) is to automatically turn it around on their subs and followers and accuse us of xenophobia. While I am sure, just like with *everything* there are people that are acting like assholes about it online, the skincare gurus have turned it into a way to lecture their fans. \n\nI also think it\u2019s a defense mechanism against 1) them having pushed Purito in the first place and 2) protect their bottom line, since they all have affiliations with Yesstyle and other associated brands. \n\nObviously I feel for Liah Yoo, she is a Korean business owner in the skincare industry and I assume she must be getting horrible hate. She rightly pointed out that other brands from outside and inside the US have failed their SPF claims. She\u2019s pointing out that it could be fraud but also says that the brands should be tested by Korean labs for \u201cobjective results.\u201d This could all be true.\n\nOf course she will be looking out for her brand at this time-as she should be-but being that she sells sunscreen that doesn\u2019t qualify in the US-even as \u201coutdated\u201d as everyone says the qualifiers are-she herself is also biased in this regard.\n\nWhat do you guys think? Am I an asshole for side-eying this?\n\nTbh, I have my own thoughts on Korean skincare and I have for some time, due to my job, but I have always purchased European and Asian spf products because of the lack of white tint. I\u2019m now skeptical of most SPFs (obviously will still be using, just questioning everything,) Korean or not.\n\nEdit: for the record, I am not doubting there is xenophobia at play whatsoever, or that xenophobia and racism against Asian people in the beauty industry exists (it clearly does,) I just found it interesting that all the skincare BGs automatically jumped to \u201ceveryone needs to examine their biases,\u201d instead say, calling for transparency from brands that have been accused of data fraud.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_7ruzdw", "text": "This is mostly me just rambling/ranting/outwardly thinking - but I'm curious if anybody else has been pondering on this/what the feedback will be.\n\nI'm someone who very much believes in voting with your dollar, and in the case of YouTube, views. For me it extends beyond makeup (ie. music, stores, movies, etc.)\nThese are often choices based on world views, personal beliefs and values, so ultimately I respect that people will have different perspectives that influence how they in turn react to all the shittery that happens.\n\nFor example, I personally do not support Jeffree Star, for a multitude of reasons. For the most part, all of the gurus I watch have publicly denounced him and his line, or if they haven't, don't publicly use or review his products. I also actively avoid gurus who continue to either associate with him or feature his products. Maybe it's unfair, but to me it comes off as a stamp of approval, or at least a complicity with it all. Also, at least in this case, more often than not they have problematic tendencies as well.\n\nThere's the whole debate over if/should you separate the brand from the people behind it. Whether or not you can separate the art from the person...and it's something that I've struggled with for awhile (Chris Brown, Johnny Depp, Bill Cosby, Danny Masterson, Lena Dunam etc.) The more I think about it...yes it's possible, but in these times I think it's our responsibility as consumers to not be so complicit in what we are in fact consuming. It's important for there to be repercussions for shitty behavior and business practices. And while I do believe brands and people can change, it takes work. Forgiveness is on a personal level and everyone is welcome to forgive who they please (for themselves, not on the behalf of other people or the groups affected) but forgiveness also does not automatically warrant patronage. I personally think that forgiveness and/or patronage should not even be considered until the offending party has **accepted responsibility and apologized** (sans excuses) for their actions, and made active steps in showing remorse and growth. Meghan Tonjes's video [\"On Morgan Spurlock (#144)\"](https://youtu.be/8S2v8vNt32I?t=11m) really sums that idea up well. In the video she's moreso talking about sexual offenders, but I think it's applicable in the beautysphere as well. I highly recommend watching the whole thing, as well as another video titled \"Logan Paul is Canceled.\" [In that one she also hits on some key relevant points](https://youtu.be/0I6W-bRsQmI?t=7m35s).\n\nNow when it comes to Kathleen Lights, I had just started to semi-regulary watch her videos when the n-word Snapchat hubbub happened. I'm of the similar mindset as livloveshermakeup where if Kathleen so easily and casually let it slip while drunk, most likely it's part of her common vernacular. I *personally* didn't appreciate how she/her family handled it, and her apology rang hollow in *my* ears. Therefore, I stopped watching. With her new KL Polish collections and Colourpop palette out, and reviews popping up (ex JenLuvsreviews, RawbeautKristi) I'm now having trouble reconciling how I in turn feel about the reviewers. Do I think Kathleen is racist? Not necessarily, one word does not a racist make. Do I think she may harbor problematic or ignorant thinking? Most likely. Why the whole thing bothers me so much is something I am also trying to sort out. I would be lying if I said there wasn't a bias there. Is that fair? Probably not. As a WOC, I have family who say it, and I don't mind when comedians and music artists who are POC use it, but my hackles get raised if it comes from someone else. However, it's not my favorite word and I personally don't use it. I also don't correct people who say it (depending on the context), regardless of their race because I'm aware of my bias and I'm just very anti-policing in general. This is getting into a full blown tangent. ANYWAY. This leads into my next segment.\n\nPeople called out JenLuvsReviews for reviewing KL Polishes Winter line, asking why she would support Kathleen while swearing off Jeffree. Her reasoning for the differential was that Kathleen's words were to an inanimate person in a video game. Which I get. But at the same time, isn't using f-ggot, gay, ret-rd, ch-nk, etc in a derogatory or inflammatory fashion looked down upon and discouraged in the same context?  If you take away the racist undertones from n-gger (not saying you should), she's still using the word in a derogatory fashion. So then I wonder how people would have reacted if she had indeed said a different inflammatory word instead. Would the same people who forgave still had? What about the Tarte Instagram incident? What if they had posted a meme making fun of mental illness? Are the words alone, and not the hateful mindset that is associated with them, warrant enough to blacklist someone?\n\nAnd now with the Tarte Shape Tape foundation crap - there are influencers jumping on the much deserved hate train - but not very many have made a point to mention how exclusive shade ranges have been an issue in the beauty world for a long time. Tarte isn't the first, it's just been highlighted because this range debuted after other brands have dropped way more inclusive lines and there is now an active movement in making sure there's more diversity in beauty. Will these influencers who are swearing off the Tarte foundation, or Tarte as a brand do the same thing with brands just as guilty?\n\nSo I guess what I'm grappling with is how to approach a situation where a guru, or really anyone for that matter, appears contradictory in who they choose to support. On one hand I feel like you need to respect people's opinions, and in some cases it might be a case of ignorance or misinformation (Kimberly Clark and Black Up come to mind as an example) but then on the other, if they have made a conscience choice like in the case of Jen with Kathleen - is my instinct to cut them off or call them out justified?\n\nAnd for those whose reaction is \"it's just makeup, it's not that deep\" I want to insert a Tonjes quote from one of the aforementioned videos:\n\"I think it's super important to be selective about the people that you watch, the people that you read...you have to really at this point start paying attention to the intention and the impact of what people do, how they follow through with things, how they correct their mistakes, how they avoid mistakes to begin with...I think we have to treat that content that we let into our lives, that we let affect and build our own view of this world, we've got to be as selective with that as we are with the people that are in our real lives.\"\n\nThis is what I have been pondering. It's kind of all over the place but I tried to make sure there was some semblance of a common thread. Thoughts and discussion welcome and encouraged. \n\nEdit: formatting", "author": "anon_7eae1768", "created_utc": 1516501185, "created_iso": "2018-01-21T02:19:45Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/BeautyGuruChatter/comments/7ruzdw/hypocritical_blacklisting_of_controversial_gurus/", "community": "BeautyGuruChatter", "score": 118, "parent_id": null, "title": "Hypocritical Blacklisting of Controversial Gurus and Brands", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "slip", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:56:39Z"}

The haul was rather long and doing this was totally distracting because she kept incorrectly reading the packing slip/making mistakes and correcting herself regarding the style/price.  It really made me wonder...if YouTube is your job (and it *is* her job), girl why don't you prep your shit beforehand? How hard is it to take 15 minutes, put post-it notes on all your clothing items, with both the name of the style and the price, BEFORE you start filming?  That way once you're rolling all that info is ready for you to share with your audience?\n\nBeauty Gurus are super guilty of this as well - most of them seem like they do very little preparation before they turn the camera on.  They often times mispronounce brand names, forget what the product name is, forget how much they paid for it, etc.  And the jump cuts...my god, the FREAKIN' jump cuts!

Last photo are the ones I keep within reach every day. \n\nHere are my master ratings:\n\nBALMS-\n\nLaneige lip sleeping mask: 20/10\n\nSorry, but this is holy grail status forever and ever amen. I can never be without it, I use it religiously morning and evening. I\u2019d honestly make it my all time lip if it wasn\u2019t for the jar. \n\nDr. Idriss Barrier Baste & Peel: 9/10\n\nThis is really an overnight treatment, but it made sense to include it. The peel is such a nice addition to my routine 2-3 nights a week and helps to keep my lips smooth. I always use it with the balm which is thicker than the laneige.\n\nFresh Sugar Advanced Therapy: 12/10\n\nReally didn\u2019t expect to love this one, bought it for my husband who always has chapped lips, but ended up keeping for myself and repurchasing. So beautiful for lowkey days and nights where you need to hydrated but don\u2019t want the gloss. \n\nNecessarie For Your Lips: 8/10\n\nI really like the formula on this one. Not thick, goopy, or sticky. Metal applicator. Fills in lines and is super glossy. The mint flavor just isn\u2019t my favorite. \n\nSummer Fridays Butter Balm: 12/10\n\nColors: Pink Sugar. I just keep coming back to this. Not thick, goopy, or sticky. Fills in lines, glossy, love the color and smell. Can do no wrong. \n\nOILS-\n\nGisou Lip Oil: 8/10\n\nColors: Watermelon Sugar, Raspberry Swirl, Strawberry Sorbet. These are actually super nice. Not sticky, luscious feel, lovely colors. They actually fill in my lines and are super shiny. Scents are pretty strong. For some reason I just don\u2019t feel myself reaching for these as often as some of the others. \n\nMilk Kush Lip Oil: 5/10\n\nColors: Pink Magic, Dream Machine. Bought these instead of the dior oil. They\u2019re a nice formula, but dont last very long. Super glossy and thin. Nice thick applicator. Again just dont reach for them much. \n\nGLOSSES-\n\nLawless Forget The Filler: 9/10\n\nColors: Rosy Outlook, Glazed, Velvet, Strawberry Popsicle. She is that girl. Probably the best gloss on the market. Designed to fill in lines so lips look extra juicy. Love the applicator. Don\u2019t wear super often as they look best with makeup. \n\nLaneige Lip Serum: 5/10\n\nColors: Strawberry Sprinkles, Cinnamon Sugar. Considering a gloss due to how pigmented and thick these are. Cute applicator. Fills in lines and super glossy. On the thicker side. Extremely strong smell. Starting to slip to the bottom of my list simply bc this is a great lineup. \n\nEadem Lip Balm: 7/10\n\nColors: Butter Mochi, Sakura Shaved Ice. These are new so maybe they\u2019ll climb my ranks. Considering glosses due to how thick and pigmented they are. Picked them up due to the hype but they\u2019re not my top yet. For me the formula is really thick and goopy, especially in the corners of lips. But once you have enough on and clean up the excess, they fill in lines, are super glossy, and stay for a super long time. \n\nDIBS Glossy Balm: 5/10\n\nColor: Effortless Pink. Just found out this isn\u2019t even from Sephora but it was already in the pic so sharing anyway!! Tried this gloss in store and loved it. Not goopy or thick. Really pretty color (my lips but better). But haven\u2019t reached for it since I bought it. Close to losing its spot in the drawer soon. \n\nNo one asked for this, but it was fun for me!!! Hopefully someone somewhere deciding on their next lippie will benefit from this. Love something not on this list??

I have thick, curly medium length hair and it\u2019s not too small. Holds all my hair in place all day.\n\n\u2022 N\u00e9cessaire Eucalyptus Body Essentials Set: Xmas gift (I got one last year and loved it! The scent is a mix of eucalyptus and ginger).\n\n\u2022 Gisou Honey Milk 5-in-1 Styling Cream: this smells so good! To me it smells like pure honey (honey haters beware) but my husband says it smells like vanilla cream. It has medium moisture and hold. I combined it with the Doux honey hair foam and my hair was SO SHINY after wash day! It was like I put hair oil on but I didn\u2019t. So far I am loving this!\n\n\u2022 The 7 Virtues Mini Vanilla Perfume Duo Gift Set: Xmas gift (love both these scents).\n\n\u2022 Summer Fridays Jet Lag Overnight Eye Serum: I tried a sample of this and unfortunately ($$$) it is amazing. It\u2019s not a serum, more like a thick eye cream that locks in moisture, similar to the Jet Lag mask. I have the dieux eye serum and I think these will pair nicely!\n\n\u2022 Rare Beauty Rare Eau de Parfum travel size: smelled in store and loved it. To me, it\u2019s like a bright, slightly spicy, vanilla version of glossier you. Definitely great for layering as it is pretty light. I think this + Jo Malone ginger biscuit would be incredible for holiday.\n\n\u2022 Ellis Brooklyn QUEENS CARAMEL Eau de Parfum travel size: smelled in store and really liked it. A super sweet vanilla maple caramel. But the end of the day is where it really shines. It becomes richer and less sugary, like vanilla extract. Similar to Kayali Vanilla 28. There\u2019s not many pure gourmand fragrances that work with my skin chemistry so I had to get this one to try it out. Update: My travel size doesn\u2019t smell as nice as when I sprayed the full bottle on in store, it smells a little more synthetic? Like burned play dough?? Debating whether to keep of gift.\n\n\u2022 EADEM Le Chouchou Exfoliating + Softening Peptide Lip Balm in Boba Bounce\n- this is my second EADEM lip balm (I have the fig color and love it). Super moisturizing and slightly exfoliating. My lips feel great after using this. Boba bounce is beautiful for fall, but I need a mirror to apply it otherwise the color is a little streaky. The scent is ok, it\u2019s kind of like a light fruity floral (not sure if it\u2019s supposed to smell like boba? What does boba smell like?).\n\n\u2022 LAWLESS Forget The Filler Definer Lip Liner in honey rose: the tones of these lip liners are so beautiful. If you feel like all lip liners pull too warm on you, try these. They\u2019re not incredibly long lasting, but the formula is creamy and smudgable and it will stay for a few hours. Pink Slip is my favorite MLBB color so I got another and am not disappointed. Honey rose is a cool dark mauve that is perfect for fall/winter.\n\n\u2022 Ciele prime & protect SPF 30+ Smoothing Primer: this makes my skin glow. It smooths over imperfections while still moisturizing my dry skin. Makeup sits well on top. It\u2019s slightly tinted (light, neutral undertone), so I\u2019m not sure it will work for all skin tones but there\u2019s definitely no white cast on my skin. I don\u2019t know how Ciele made this with zinc because mineral sunscreens always dry me out.

I saw a comment about applying this product with a partner, what Dermalogica means is having a facial massage at home either by yourself or having a friend or partner helping. With this product they encourage connecting with yourself, taking time to do your skincare routine and really immersing yourself in your at-home skincare regimen. This serum is actually an oil that can provide slip for a massage. This product is recommended for droopy skin and balance the skin.\n\nI got to apply some of the product on the back on my hand. The color of this oil is almost like a honey gold and smells amazing. It feels like an oil and the texture is nice and silky which is perfect for, you guessed it, a massage. \n\nAnother thing I would like to add is on the Dermalogica PRO website, they offer videos how to use the product and in the package of the product it comes with instructions and a QR code you can scan and it'll show you a video of you can do a facial massage at home. In the videos, it shows you how a friend or family member or partner can perform the massage for you. Again, as a current esthetician student. This product is like performing a mini massage at home. \n\nI hope this helps! I look forward to using this product in the future. I think its a beautiful product and since I find dermalogica products reliable, I am excited to see its long term results.", "author": "anon_650979fd", "created_utc": 1756317971, "created_iso": "2025-08-27T18:06:11Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/Sephora/comments/1n1offh/dermalogica_neurotouch_symmetry_serum/", "community": "Sephora", "score": 0, "parent_id": null, "title": "Dermalogica NeuroTouch Symmetry Serum", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "slip", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:56:52Z"}

The Kerastase in the picture is the tip of the iceberg!\n\n  \nI spent more than I intended, but I\u2019m happy with what I bought and luckily have the financial ability to afford this.\u00a0 As someone else experienced, this shopping has been a nice distraction from the loss of a family member.\u00a0 And I\u2019ve recently lost a significant amount of weight and have been feeling better and want to extend that feeling to other parts of my appearance.\n\n\n\nI\u2019m in my early 40s and have never really had a skincare routine and basically never wore makeup beyond a bold lip.\u00a0 My skin is fairly balanced but can be a bit on the dry side.\u00a0 Luckily I've never had acne issues and my skin has been pretty ok without any sort of routine.\u00a0 My skin is light and slightly cool-toned.\u00a0 I have puffy under eyes, dark circles, some hyperpigmentation by my eyes, and a few fine lines.\u00a0 My initial goal was to take care of the under-eye area without a full face of makeup, but I ended up going little further and bought some fun stuff too.\n\n\n\nTools:\n\n* Sephora Collection face brush set\n   * I didn\u2019t own any face makeup brushes.\u00a0 I\u2019ve only used these a couple of times so far, but they feel nice.\u00a0 I don\u2019t have much makeup experience though, so my understanding of quality may be off.\n\n\n\nMakeup:\n\n* Kosas color corrector in Magic\n   * I like the feel of this, but haven\u2019t really mastered it yet.\u00a0 I got it for my dark circles.\n* NARS mini Radiant Creamy Concealer in Cannelle L2.75\n   * This also feels pretty nice.\u00a0 It creases a bit, but I think I\u2019m making progress figuring out my skin prep and application process for it.\n* Anastasia Beverly Hills Highlighting & Concealing Eyebrow Pro Pencil in Base 1\n   * I got this to clean up the pigment around my lips.\u00a0 It is great.\u00a0 Goes on so smoothly and blends well.\n* Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 Skincare Foundation in shade Balos\n   * I just bought this one in person on the recommendation from an employee.\u00a0 My request was something to even out my skin but feel like nothing at the same time.\u00a0 I told her that I\u2019d tried a sample of the Saie Slip Tint and that felt ok and I\u2019d have bought it except that it smelled terrible.\u00a0 I\u2019ve only used this today so far, but I\u2019m feeling pretty good about it.\u00a0 The color match is perfect.\n* Haus Labs Color Fuse blush in Dragon Fruit Daze\n   * This was my fun and out there purchase and I LOVE it.\u00a0 It is such a pretty pink, goes on so nicely, and blends easily.\n* Merit Solo Shadow Cream to Powder Soft Matte Eyeshade in shade Midnight\n   * I have this in the shade Nelson to use as eyeliner with a flat brush.\u00a0 It worked so well for this purpose, that I wanted to get this navy color to help make my blue eyes pop.\u00a0 This with my new Covergirl Ultramarine Black mascara looks great.\u00a0 As a side note, reviews of this say that it dries out and I can totally see how that happens.\u00a0 You need to really strongly twist it closed.\n* Milk Makeup mini Hydro Grip setting spray\n   * I have nothing to compare this to since I\u2019ve never used setting spray before.\u00a0 It smells a little like chlorine, but not so much that it is off-putting.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been trying to mix it with concealer before applying to avoid creasing and I think I\u2019ve been getting better at that.\u00a0 It also feels nice to spray on my face.\n\n\n\nSkincare:\n\n* Clinique mini Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm Makeup Remover\n   * Hasn\u2019t arrived yet.\n* The Ordinary mini Glycolic Acid (restock)\n   * I use this to exfoliate sometimes and have been trying it on the KP on the back of my arms.\u00a0 I haven\u2019t used it consistently enough yet to tell whether it will really help the KP.\n* Dieux Forever Eye Mask Reusable patches\n   * Only used a couple of times so far, but they are nice.\u00a0 The size is good for my face and they stick to the face extremely well.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been putting them over eye serum and leaving them for 20 minutes.\u00a0 I saw some reviews saying that the product was still on the patches when removed, but that hasn\u2019t been the case for me.\u00a0 I think the serum really is absorbing well underneath these.\n* The Ordinary Caffeine 5% + EGCG Brightening eye serum\n   * I\u2019ve used this morning and night for a few days and feel like it has been helping with the puffiness.\u00a0 I haven\u2019t noticed a change to dark circles or hyperpigmentation yet, but maybe it is too soon.\u00a0 It feels very nice when putting it on.\n* Biossance mini Marine Algae eye cream\n   * I had a sample of this and immediately liked the feel better than the Kiehl\u2019s avocado eye cream that I also had a sample of.\u00a0 Effectiveness is still to be determined.\n* The Ordinary Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate Solution 20% in Vitamin F\n   * I\u2019ve only used this a couple of times so I can\u2019t really judge yet.\n* The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid\\* 2% Emulsion\n   * Hasn\u2019t arrived yet\n* Eadem lip balm in clear\n   * The metal applicator feels nice, but I prefer to squeeze balms like this out and then apply with a finger.\u00a0 Trying to use the applicator on anything like this (Ole, Jack Black, etc) feels messy to me.\u00a0 The staying power on this is impressive, but I\u2019ve only used it for one day so I\u2019m not sure how it will fall in my lip balm rankings.\n\n\n\nHair:\n\nMy hair has always been my thing.\u00a0 It is color-treated with a little gray coverage, mid-back length on its way back to tailbone length, wavy, and not really fine or thick but I have a lot of it.\u00a0 I love a big, bouncy blowout and do that with my Dyson Airwrap after washing my hair twice a week.\n\n* Drybar Seltzer Spritz flexible hold hairspray (restock)\n   * I\u2019ve tried several other flexible hold hairsprays and they all smelled so terrible to me.\u00a0 This one smells much better and holds well without feeling like anything.\n* Amika Dream Routine\n   * I have the Kerastase overnight treatment, but it too quickly felt like buildup on my hair.\u00a0 I think that my hair doesn\u2019t like that much protein in a leave-in.\u00a0 I\u2019ve used this Amika version twice now and like it better so far.\n* Kerastase Gloss Absolu line\n   * I love basically all Kerastase products (aside from the overnight serum) and am all about the big, bouncy, shiny blowouts so I had to try this line.\u00a0 I got the mini sizes.\u00a0 I\u2019ve only used it all once, but love the results.\u00a0 This blowout is definitely voluminous and bouncy.\u00a0 It does seem to have more oomph than my typical routine.\u00a0 My blowouts typically last a few days although the volume decreases.  I'm looking forward to seeing how well this holds.  I may buy the full sizes after trying it a few more times.\u00a0 Luckily Kerastase has 20% off pretty often on their website.\n   * Shampoo\n      * Smells nice (better than the Genesis line) but the scent is pretty light for a Kerastase product.\u00a0 I used this for my second wash and it was nice.\n   * Conditioner\n      * Thinner than I expected, but it worked into my hair nicely.\u00a0 Didn\u2019t feel as slick after rinsing as other conditioners or masks like the Genesis mask, Superfood mask, or Redken Color Gloss conditioner.\u00a0 Because of that, I was concerned that detangling would be more difficult since my hair needs a lot of slip.\u00a0 But that worked out fine.\u00a0 Overall not bad.\n   * Anti-frizz spray\n      * Pureology Color Fanatic leave-in is my HG.\u00a0 This seems thicker than that, but detangled well.\u00a0 I\u2019ll need to use it more to determine whether it will dethrone the Pureology.\n   * Hair oil\n      * This smells lovely.\u00a0 As I applied it, it felt a little lighter than the Elixir Ultime.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure if it gave me any more shine than normal and the dropper is less convenient to use than the pump bottle.\u00a0 But overall it seems nice.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_1juxzw2", "text": "Tower 28 GetSet Blur + Matte Powder Blush in Long Beach Iced Tea\n\nThis shade is so pretty! I feel like the pictures Tower 28 included doesn\u2019t do it justice, even the pictures in the reviews were better. It\u2019s described as \u201cearthy rosy pink\u201d and on my skin tone (light medium to medium, neutral) it\u2019s like the perfect ratio of peach and pink, it looks amazing. This is definitely going to be my summer blush! It is matte but I\u2019m not sure how blurring it is (I really only got it because of the shade), I\u2019ll try to compare it to the Too Faced Cloud Crush Blush. \n\nHourglass Phantom Volumizing Gloss Lip Balm in Red 0\n\n10/10 I\u2019ve gotten this before and I already know I love the formula, it\u2019s just unmatchable. I was curious about the Red 0 shade of Hourglass but just couldn\u2019t commit to the Lipsticks they have so when they released this shade in their Gloss Lip Balm, I had to try.\n\nMerit Signature Lip Lightweight Matte Lipstick in Equestrian \n\nMy first haul from the sale I got the satin one in Slip. I loved the formula and the shades so I wanted to try one from the matte line and it did not disappoint. It\u2019s buildable and not drying on the lips at all (how\u2019d they do that?). And this shade (Equestrian) seems intimidating at first but it\u2019s actually so gorgeous.\n\nSephora Collection Best Skin Ever 8HR Color Corrector in 03 Peach\n\nSoooo this whole sale the only thing I actually needed was a colour corrector. I asked a beauty advisor for help and they showed me the Kosas one in Fantasy. It was wayyy too yellow so I came back asking for help again. This beauty advisor actually made me swatch and helped apply it under my eyes (10/10 assistance, this is actually the second or third time she\u2019s helped me so I really trust her). We tried a few shades from Kosas and Nars but it was either too light or didn\u2019t really make a difference (too thin I guess?). I wanted to try caliray and huda beauty (even though this one apparently leaks a lot) but she made me try the sephora collections one which ngl I wasn\u2019t sure at first cause I saw the low reviews on the app but her and I actually saw a difference after application so I decided to go with her suggestion.\n\nTopicals Faded Brightening Serum for Dark Spots and Discolocation (UNSCENTED)\n\nThe reviews swayed me ngl (I did try to look for the non-incetivized and verified purchase ones). It seems like a lot of the low reviews from the original formula was because of the scent. I haven\u2019t tried this yet but I really hope it works on my acne scars :,).\n\nHuda Beauty Easy Bake Blurring Baking & Setting Powder in Peach Pie\n\nI hope this shade works for me, I originally wanted to try Pound Cake but it was out of stock and this shade actually showed out of stock too in my Sephora so I was shocked to see it in store (and thus had to get it). I think this powder has been one of the most consistent highly rated product from Sephora so I\u2019m really excited to try!\n\nSephora Collection Cream Contour Stick in 02 Light to Medium\n\nI really liked the powder version of this so I decided to try this one.\n\n***\n\nHonestly, I told myself I wouldn\u2019t get more than 2 or 3 items from the sale (I really only needed the colour corrector lolololol) but I kept thinking of the products I wanted to try and how it\u2019s more \u201cworth it\u201d to buy during the sale. I keep thinking if I don\u2019t get it now I\u2019ll be \u201closing money\u201d (cause I\u2019ll be spending more #girlmath) if I don\u2019t get it with the 20% off. Also I guess this is honestly one of the only perks to being a rouge member and I wanted to make that worth it since I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll hit rouge again this year (I really don\u2019t want to). But as I put all the products in my drawers and re organize my make up, I realize I\u2019m not really getting my money\u2019s worth (at all) from these products because\u2026 I\u2019m not using them! And now that I\u2019ve bought more stuff, that\u2019s even more things I won\u2019t be fully using/finishing. It\u2019s like, did I really just pay the full amount just to use essentially a sample size of a product? \n\nI keep trying to remember how many times I\u2019ve used certain items and for most of them\u2026 I can actually recall since I haven\u2019t used them a lot at all \ud83d\ude2d. \n\nAnyways, I realize the list of products I want to try will obviously just keep growing and growing as more brands release stuff. I already don\u2019t have social media (Reddit isn\u2019t even downloaded on my phone) so I can\u2019t imagine the list other people have especially with all the incentivized reviews and ads. Just from the influence of the app alone, I can think of 10+ items on the spot that didn\u2019t work for me and are just collecting dust as of right now.\n\nIt\u2019s definitely okay to splurge and get multiple products of the same thing to try different shades, different formulas, etc. For some people, make up is an art, a hobby, a way to express themselves and so much more, and while I absolutely think that\u2019s something worth investing in\u2026 I think I can invest a little smarter. This applies to skincare too, I ask myself how many serums or masks do I have that I\u2019m not using daily or weekly consistenly? Honestly, that inconsistency alone probably impacts its effects on my skin (or lack thereof). I have to make sure I\u2019m actually getting the product\u2019s value, both in a sense that I\u2019m actually using all of the product so I\u2019m not wasting money, and in a sense that I\u2019m actually using the product for its purpose to the fullest extent.\n\nFor the rest of the year, I\u2019m gonna keep reminding myself that FOMO isn\u2019t real, the products will be there next month or even next year, there\u2019s really NO reason for me to buy it right now. And I should try to be mindful of how many times I\u2019ve used the products I already own and how many times I think I\u2019ll actually use this new product I want to buy. Especially if I want to get my money\u2019s worth\u2026 I don\u2019t think anyone wants to give Sephora and these big companies free money.

I was initially choosing between the caliray and huda beauty one (I was also considering bobbi brown but thought it was not worth it\u2014 not enough product imo) but both had issues with the container especially the huda beauty one (according to reviews) so I ended up asking an employee. They suggested this kosas colour corrector saying it was really good (she seemed really confident about the product) so I got swayed.

I may repurchase this one if there's not any good suggestions, I'll just use a thick moisturizer as a base.\n\n- Saie Slip Tint\nThis is totally on the opposite side of the spectrum to Fenty. Light coverage, super hydrating like a moisturizer, but to a fault; I found this one really greasy at times and had to use a minimal amount as it never really set down and just sat on top of the skin. It did feel and look nice though if you got it to work but it took some effort and I ended up decluttering once I got to the last little bit. It also separated a lot.\n\nWhat I'm considering:\n\n- Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Serum Tint\nThis brand is apparently geared towards oily skin but I follow a dry skin influencer on tiktok who liked it, found it a good consistency and formula for her skin, and the shade range is good. It's also more product for the price.\n\n- Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Gel Tint\nThis one just came out but Jen Phelps said she liked it (despite it accentuating some texture) and it seems quite hydrating for dry skin + it set down on her skin fairly well (unlike saie).

I get drawn in by pretty packaging and fancy names, and inevitably I end up with shelves full of cute, sample-size bottles\u2026perfumes that I thought I liked  before realizing they smelled different in the store, or better on my friend than me. \n\nIt\u2019s so frustrating, because I want to love all the pretty little bottles! Aside from Chanel Chance I\u2019ve never found a signature scent that suits me perfectly. And while this beautiful set may or may not become my holy grail, I\u2019m finally getting warmer.\n\nI\u2019m so curious to hear from anyone who uses any of these and what you like (or don\u2019t) about them. A lot of the initial reviews I saw were negative, so I was pleasantly surprised. I waited a whole week to open these, I was so afraid they would be a pricy waste \ud83d\ude02\n\nUn Jardin Sur Le Nin - 7.5ml\nEau de Toilette - 7/10\nLeast impressive bottle, most impressive scent \n\nDelicate, addictive, sour-candy smell, reminiscent of the early teen years when I wore little secret sprays of Elizabeth Arden Green Tea. Feminine without being at all girly-girl.\n\nCologne Herm\u00e8s - 7.5ml \nEau de Cologne - 9/10\nMost versatile, unisex scent.\n\nProminent rhubarb and petrichor fragrance that evokes my mother\u2019s summer herb garden after a rain. The most natural and earthy, without the typical wood+musk=manly heaviness. Simple, pure, and yet more original than anything I\u2019ve found in years.\n\nTwilly d\u2019Herm\u00e8s - 7.5ml\nEau de Parfum - 3/10\nSharp, powdery, chemical, floral.\n\nNot something I will wear. It speaks to the five-star staying power of Herm\u00e8s that this potent grandmother elixir would give headaches for days. Very similar to my feelings on Chanel No. 5 (the ever iconic flowery stove-cleaner). Despite this, I find myself pausing to open the bottle and smell it again and again. In their own ways, all four of these have that magical quality of a memory you can\u2019t quite put your finger on, and keep trying to figure out.\n\nEau des Merveilles - 7.5ml\nEau de Toilette - 5/10\n\nLike the Twilly, this is not a youthful scent, yet I found it much more pleasant. More like licorice and library books, less like floral cleaning supplies. Softer and much more unique. I was also surprised by the dry-down; this scent evolved more than the others, which meant I didn\u2019t become nose-blind after a day\u2019s wear. While all the little glass dabbers are aesthetically pleasing, this bottle wins! It\u2019s dainty, yet sturdy enough to put on a necklace or keychain. The tiny jug-handle cap is large enough to slip a standard chain through, and the bottle\u2019s shape and flat back make for a lovely pendant or purse accessory.

I hope this helps someone out there.\n\nFirstly, switching to a chelating shampoo as my main and only shampoo has been one of the best choices, since no matter how good of a shampoo, the hard water ruins it by the end anyway. Find my previous post on hard water if you want to know if you'll benefit from one.\n\nSecondly, and most mind-bogglingly, **pure 100% squalane as a pre-shampoo** (I use the one from the ordinary, but any will do) has made the biggest difference in not only the appearance, but mostly the feel of my hair. Before I wash my hair, I use 5-10 drops, rubbing it between my palms until warm, and coating my hair in it thoroughly, making sure it coats every strand. All over the mids and ends and just a LITTLE bit on top but not on the scalp. Leave it on for about 1-3 minutes then wash my hair, done.\n\nThirdly, protein. I've come to realize my hair absolutely despises protein. Since I have virgin, thick, coarse, low-porosity SEA hair, protein can't penetrate my hair/has nothing to fix and instead just sits on top, causing ever worse coarseness, dryness, dullness, and hair to be brittle and snap off. Switching to products with absolutely 0 protein has fixed that.\n\nAs a **necessary** daily washer, I can't begin to explain how soft it's made my hair feel. It prevents over stripping of the ends, made it shiny, and I've been seeing length retention like crazy. Even with 3-4 inches trimmed from the last update, it's still at my tailbone.

I recently had a hair trim (march 4th) after about 7 months of not cutting (hairdresser said it was not really split, so didn't trim a lot and mentioned that she sees volume coming back). So now I created a new routine for my hair, that I use loreal elvital hyaluron plump shampoo and conditioner, microfiber towel, kukla professional repairing hair oil. Ocassionaly (once a week) thinking of using a pantene hair mask miracles version, purple and blue). I'm quite an active person (2 crossfit 50 min workouts a week, weight lifting, running, cycling, so I tend to sweat quite a bit, turn), but until now I wouldn't wash my hair after every workout, I would wait for the grease to show up (or would simply wash just with water and condition it and done), I have a varied diet, don't limit my food variety (treat myself to sweet treats but my main diet always consists of grains, meat, fish, greens, veggies, fruit, etc. I drink about 2 liters of water a day. I usually wear my hair either down without any accessories, or put it in a loose braid tied by a silk scrunchie (changing sides or locations from time to time) or a low ponytail, used to wear claw clips but not anymore (I think they can damage or leave dents), used to sleep with a silk bonnet but it would slip so now I just put that silk bonnet on my cotton pillow case, because cotton turns out to be drying and braid it for the night and secure with a silk scrunchy.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_1sf3osm", "text": "This post is long, a lot of details are needed and my written English isn't great so the content below will have AI assistance but it's all my content and I edited the AI content after as well.\n\nI have noticed a very big functional difference is  how hard it can be to manage my hair down now that it is well below hip length. The difference between like hip length and mid thigh length is pretty drastic. I have noticed I used to wear my hair down all the time with little issue when it was right around hip length. But I have now entered into a specific length where it gives me problems all the time it is significantly longer than my arms are it gets caught on the back of my legs. When I walk it gets caught on things in my house, I can sit on it on accident and not like a little bit but like bad enough to like really hurt myself I'm open to anyone's suggestions, regardless of their hair length but specifically if anyone has the eye length there were longer hair does it get better as it gets longer or do you have any specific recommendations?\n\nTexture / pattern\n\nMy hair is naturally curly and wavy when wet and always has been, but it is extremely shape-responsive. If I brush it straight and put it in a bun, it will take on the curl or bend of the bun. If I blow dry it straight, it will stay straight if it stays dry. If I braid it, it will hold that shape until I wash it again. If I straighten it with product and keep it dry, it may get some frizz or snags but it usually does not re-curl, but it won't stay bone straight either.\n\nIf I let it dry curly with no interference, like after swimming, it dries into a mixed pattern that can be matted, uneven, and rough. I have multiple textures in my hair. You can find sections that look like 2b, 2c, 3a, and 3b. If I try to encourage the curl pattern with products, it tends to go more toward tighter curls than waves, but some individual sections will start as a curl and then turn into a wave partway down. When I was younger and my hair was shorter, I had fewer wavy sections and more consistent curl, but I did not often wear it that way.\n\nDensity / strand thickness\n\nMy density is medium to thick, with an important caveat: I also have an undercut all the way around, above my temples down through the back on both sides. I\u2019ve changed the undercut sections over the last 18 years, so I have a few different lengths growing out. The top is all long.\n\nThe right side has less fullness at the bottom because the undercut used to be very high, almost where a natural part would be. At this point it has grown enough that it looks long like the other side, but the fullness is still different. After getting sick and being hospitalized twice in the last year for months at a time, I lost a lot of hair, part of it from breakage in the ICU, part of it do to losing 80lbs in 4 months and a few months later it started falling out in fistfuls but dispersed. I panicked, like full identity crisis, so I moved the undercut down significantly. Right now the shortest visible hair is around shoulder length because of that.\n\nMy individual strands are medium-fine. They are not ultra-fine, but not truly coarse either.\n\nPorosity\n\nMy best guess is low to medium porosity, even with clarifying and dyeing.\n\nCurrent length / goals\n\nMy hair is currently almost mid-thigh length. My goal is to keep growing it longer, avoid breakage as much as possible, and get the bottom looking fuller. I would also like to be able to wear defined curls sometimes, but my biggest priorities are retaining length, avoiding tangles, and reducing frizz.\n\nFor scalp issues, I see a dermatologist. But it's some kind of autoimmune diseases issue, I use keto 2% and steroids and some other non topical treatments. I do use minoxidil I don't think I would be able to deal with more hair falling out just to have some work back and I don't have any bald patches anywhere. But before the significant hair loss, it was much thicker.\n\nChemical / heat / treatment history\n\nMy hair has been dyed since I was 4 (some native communities traditionally color hair, some believe in natural hair, not a debate I'd like to have) and I\u2019m now in my late 20s. As a teen, it was bleached several times during my rebellious phase. I also used direct dyes for a while when I was dealing with old bleach damage. When I was younger, I used a lot of heat.\n\nStarting around 3 years ago ish, I was maybe using heat about twice a week. Over the last 2 years, it has been more like 1 to 2 times a month, and not even every month. I always use heat protectants, though I\u2019m not fully confident I\u2019m using them correctly. I\u2019ve also had professional keratin treatments over the years.\n\nMain problems\n\nMy biggest problems are:\n\n\u2022\ttangling, especially at the ends especially if straighten.\n\n\u2022\tfrizz depending on weather and style\n\n\u2022\tsplit ends / breakage prevention\n\n\u2022\trandom limp or inconsistent curls\n\n\u2022\tpast issues with elastic or \u201crubber band\u201d hair in sections \n\nA few years ago, the elastic / rubbery issue could happen even when my hair was dry. Now it mostly happens if I hit a tangle while it\u2019s wet. I have to brush it while wet because otherwise it can mat up. If it tangles while dry and straight, I add SLIP and very gently detangle with a Wet Brush and with my fingers, I do not pull, yank, or anything that could break it while brushing. The ends tangle into themselves the most.\n\nI hand-trim split ends, but it\u2019s hard to stay perfectly on top of them.\n\nMy scalp does not tend to get greasy even with all the products and adding oil most days, but I do have autoimmune-related scalp issues that can range from not notable to medical text book bad. If I get a lil sick or spend too much time in the sun, get to stressed I can get large red patches and peeling on my scalp. When that happens, I use jojoba oil and a flea comb to lift larger patches, then I clarify with the Nexxus protein shampoo twice, then use 2% ketoconazole shampoo to help my scalp. After that I use SheaMoisture conditioner and carefully brush through with a Wet Brush.\n\nSometimes I have to shampoo more than once, or condition, rinse, and condition again a few times to get the patches, flakes, and buildup out of the length. I could blow dry it to get it out with less washing but that is a lot of work and extra heat. If I try to blow it out without fully straightening it, it tends to create more frizz and tangles.\n\nI also think some of my curl issues come from years of dye, past heat use, and trying to air dry it straighter by wrapping it, brushing it while it dries, or keeping it in protective braids.\n\nI\u2019m Native and I do not do regular trimming or cutting for cultural reasons. The most I will do is occasional dusting myself, outside of the undercut.\n\nWash frequency\n\nI wash it every 4 to 7 days. Depends only my scalp and it's level up severity, but I don't wash it because it's oily or greasy that just doesn't seem to happen. If it got dirty or sweaty or swimming I would of course wash it.\n\nProducts / routine\n\nShampoo:\n\n\u2022\tNexxus purple extra moisture shampoo\n\n\u2022\tNexxus protein / clarifying shampoo in the white bottle\n\n\u2022\t2% ketoconazole shampoo when needed for scalp issues\n\nConditioner / masks:\n\n\u2022\tSheaMoisture Manuka Honey conditioner or mask\n\n\u2022\tAcid bonding treatment maybe once a year\n\n\u2022\tJojoba oil on scalp when I need to loosen patches and flakes\n\nLeave-ins / detanglers:\n\n\u2022\tSheaMoisture Kids detangler\n\n\u2022\tSheaMoisture marshmallow spray\n\n\u2022\tIt\u2019s a 10 Perfect 10 only occasionally\n\nOil on lengths:\n\n\u2022\tThe Ordinary squalane oil on the lengths, Bear oil (ethically, locally, tribally sourced)\n\nSilicone products:\n\nBefore washing, or when it gets badly tangled or matted, especially if I kept it in a bun for a few days or after dyeing, I sometimes use OGX Extra Strength Coconut Miracle Oil. It\u2019s very silicone-heavy. Whenever I use that, I clarify twice afterward.\n\nIn the past, when I was younger, I did not understand that I needed to clarify after using heavy silicone products, and that contributed to straw-like hair. I am not really dealing with that issue now. Very occasionally, if I\u2019m trying to wear it down and the ends are giving me trouble, I may use a little silicone on the bottom.\n\nCurl styling products:\n\n\u2022\tSheaMoisture Coconut and Hibiscus curl cream\n\n\u2022\tSheaMoisture Coconut and Hibiscus gel\n\nMousse:\n\nI haven\u2019t used mousse since the early 2000s, but I actually suspect it might help. I just do not know how to use it without getting that very dated crunchy look. I have read bad things about different curly girl methods where products ruined there hair forever and that makes me very nervous.\n\nTraditional herbs I use in my hair in various frequency depending on various cultural things:\n\nSlippery Elm bark, white cedar,  nettle leaf, burdock root, hibiscus flower, marshmallow root. Either as a hair tea dip, or similar.\n\nDrying / styling / protection\n\nIf I use heat, I use heat protectant and always put product in my hair first. I blow dry infrequently, maybe 1 to 2 times a month. I try to avoid straightening with a flat iron now, though I used to do it a lot years ago.\n\nFor protective styling, I wear it in a large braid, a braided bun, a non braided low bun, 2 three strand braids or 2 to 4 three-strand underhand braids to the scalp. Some people call that a Dutch braid style, some call it a cornrows. This type of beading is also a traditional Native hairstyle as daily wear and for ceremonies as well as cultural resilience. I do sometimes wrap my braids which is also traditional but also helps hold in the shorter sections if it's two low \"pigtail\" style 3strand braids. I use fleece strips, deer leather, sometimes extra hair ties.\n\nAll of my hats are lined with silk or satin. I use large satin scrunchies. I have clips and hair pins, but I can\u2019t get them to work without pulling. I also have some stretchy nylon hair ties.\n\nI do not strictly need to use a hair tie at the bottom of a braid, but I do anyway just in case. When I do, I use either a baby hair tie or a high-quality ouchless micro elastic.\n\nI have two satin pillowcases, but I have neck pain and usually end up putting my head on something else that is not silky. I do sometimes wear a bonnet to sleep, and that helps, but I have not found one that is comfortable enough. My partner also accidentally pulls it off while asleep.\n\nI pretty much always have my hair up in the car, outside, and most of the time inside too. I do not think that is ideal for my hair, but it is so long that it gets caught on things if I leave it down.\n\nClimate / environment\n\nI\u2019ve lived in and spent time in drastically different climates. I currently spend time in the Southeast, Southwest, and Northeast of the U.S., as well as southern Canada and sometimes subarctic Canada, so my hair deals with very climate temperatures, different humidity and dryness levels.\n\nWhat I\u2019m hoping people can help with\n\nI\u2019d especially like advice on:\n\n\u2022\thow to reduce tangling at the ends without losing length\n\n\u2022\thow to retain real thickness and fullness at the bottom not product thickness\n\n\u2022\thow to minimize breakage with very long, mixed-texture hair of different lengths \n\n\u2022\twhether mousse or another lighter styling product might help define curls without making my hair look crunchy or feel worse\n\n\u2022\thow to balance occasional curl definition with my bigger goal of preserving length and preventing tangles\n\nstyles I can wear both up and down that are realistic for extremely long hair and will put less repeated tension on the same areas of my scalp\n\n\u2022\tways to rotate protective styles, parting, and placement so my follicles and scalp get a break without causing more tangling, matting, or breakage\n\n\u2022      sleep styles and overnight protection methods that are realistic for really long hair, reduce tangling and friction, and do not put extra tension on my scalp or neck", "author": "anon_92a6c02f", "created_utc": 1775584990, "created_iso": "2026-04-07T18:03:10Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/longhair/comments/1sf3osm/length_retention_tangling_curl_definition_styles/", "community": "longhair", "score": 16, "parent_id": null, "title": "length retention, tangling, curl definition, styles", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "slip", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:57:20Z"}

I need some product recommendations to level up my hair care routine and would be grateful for your help.\n\n**TL;DR:** The lower third of my 1A/B strands become really dry and frizzy all the time which causes countless split ends. I think I'm mainly in need of a good hydrating leave-in conditioner / hair mask that does not weigh down my hair.\n\n**My hair:**\n\n* Type: *1A/B*  \\-  does not hold any style, the healthy parts are totally straight and shiny, although really short strands have a tendency to show a little volume naturally\n* Density/length: I have *low-mid hair density* with *fine strands* and a good part of it comes down to *waist level*.\n* Porosity: *low porosity* by nature but the lower third of my strands gradually become higher porosity.\n\n**The problem:**\n\nNaturally I have the typical low(er) porosity 1A/B hair, which can be really shiny, always soft and used to slip out from my hair bands. Now the healthier upper part still behaves the same, but as you can see on the picture, the lower part just seems damaged. Sometimes it still has that nice shine to it, but soon it gets so frizzy that I usually just wear it in a braid or with a claw clip.\n\nI wouldn't think its damaged (but if you think so from the pictures, feel free to say so), it's more like a hydration problem? The ends sometimes feel like straw and I get tons of split ends even if I go and destroy them religiously every 1-2 weeks. Also, as you can see from the second pic, I have hairs with all kinds of length (probably because of new growth and also might be due to breakages), and optically it doesn't seem so shiny anymore because of the ends being all over the place.\n\nI think what I need most is a good hydrating leave-in conditioner and more hydrating products instead of my current shampoo and conditioner. However, as my natural hair is lower porosity, it weighs down easily.\n\n**Current routine:**\n\n* I wash 1-2 times/week\n* Scalp treatment: Mielle rosemary mint oil the night before\n* Pre-wash: lately started to use coconut oil to keep my ends from drying out further.\n* Double shampoo: M\u00e1dara Grow\n* Conditioner: Revox Step 5\n* I leave my hair in a microfiber turban for at least 30 mins\n* Leave-in: Revox Step 6\n* Oil: Natura Siberica Oblepikha\n\nApart from this I massage my scalp every night, sometimes applying The Ordinary Multi-peptide serum and sometimes oiling my ends with Sebastian Professional Dark Oil (I just use this for its scent :) ). Apart from cutting split ends, I never trim.\n\nSoo if you are still reading:\n\n* Can you please share your experiences and give me some product recommendations? \n* I've read about shea moisture, redken, olaplex, k18 etc. but some posts are from years ago and I know that formulas are changing all of the time...  Do any of those still work?\n* Also, I would like to find a product I can reapply between washes to hydrate my hair.\n* Special question: would hair botox or applying henna help?\n\nThanks for your help :)\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/9uy7tamexgmg1.jpg?width=1673&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=00f7b61546fce65dc5628766b1674f5b7887f044", "author": "anon_911fab0f", "created_utc": 1772386193, "created_iso": "2026-03-01T17:29:53Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/longhair/comments/1ri392u/dry_and_frizzy_1ab_hair_product_recommendations/", "community": "longhair", "score": 3, "parent_id": null, "title": "Dry and frizzy 1A/B hair - product recommendations needed", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "slip", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:57:20Z"}

I have somewhere between bra strap length and mid back length hair. I have spent literal hours over the last few weeks watching aaaaallll the hair stick and hair fork tutorials lol. I have learned the wood holds better than metal or plastic, so I'm just using wooden hair sticks and forks (I own one of each)\n\nThe problem is my hair is type 2a, dense, but fine and slippery. I can't coat my hair in too much hairspray because I do have small tape in extensions (for color not length) cinnabuns are way too easy to slip out. My hair isn't long enough for a nautilus bun. So I've been alternating between this [https://youtube.com/shorts/DlOCUJj3zT4](https://youtube.com/shorts/DlOCUJj3zT4) bun, idk what it's called (but I have to use scalp hair even though she doesn't in the video, because slippery hair) and a disc bun.

I'm Asian (naturally super black hair) and bleach my hair to a level 7-8 blonde. My hair is in good condition, and there is no visible breakage (I do a blunt cut every 6 months). I also live in a hard water area (if this is relevant)\n\nI've previously been using Olaplex no3 which worked well, no tangling, but recently switched to K18 as my bond repair product since its cheaper where I live. \n\nThe problem is that I find K18 makes my wet hairs stick/grab to each other and tangle/matt up. The problem gets better when my hair dries. \n\nI normally detangle while my hair is wet (gently with my fingers and with lots of leave in), because there is more slip, but when I wash with K18 I need to wait until its dry to detangle as its unmanagable when wet.  \n\nMy leave ins do nothing to help the K18 tangle when my hair is wet. My hair just grabs each other and makes knots whenever I touch it. When it dries, my leave ins work better and creates slip again???? (It's so weird)\n\nI don't think K18 damages my hair because it objectively feels better after a few uses. It's just right after the wash when my hair is so tangly and aggrevating. \n\nWhen I do a wash without K18, with my usual products, it is not tangly at all.

I wondered why my hair and skin glowed in places like NYC and even European cities, and then rapidly declined after returning to London. Turns out, I'm not crazy and that London water is, in fact, the culprit. (it has literally *broken* some of our appliances!)\n\nI have medium-thick hair, somewhere between straight and wavy\n\nOver the past several years, I've tried everything  -\n\n* **shampooing less often \ud83d\udc4e** \\- bad, didin't work for me and made it worse  \n* **shampooing** ***more*** **often** \ud83d\udc4d - this is what I do now, daily or almost daily, definitely an improvement but not a cure\n* **silicone/sulfate-free shampoos** **\ud83d\udc4e** \\- worse, hair felt heavy\n* **basic head&shoulders shampoo** \ud83d\udc4d - better - hair feels a lot cleaner\n* **conditioners** \ud83e\udd14 - okay so this one I haven't quite figured out yet.. I've really liked the olaplex conditioner but I wonder if there's a better option out there for the issues i'm facing\n* **hair gloss** \ud83d\udc4d - I currently use Glaze and I like it.. was gifted by a friend.. and I don't know if it improves the quality (claims to be deep conditioning) but definitely improves the look and shine of my hair - at least makes it appear healthier\n* **hair masks** \ud83e\udd14 - I don't have one that I'm loyal to.. tried many.. mixed results.. sometimes leaves my hair heavy\n* **shower filter** \ud83e\udee4 - oh the infamous shower filter.. a hot topic in London... I use Hello Klean.. I like it.. but what I find is that it's great for the first 2 or 3 weeks.. is supposed to last 3 months.. probably does 1.5 max and gradually becomes less effective with each use, in my experience (I can wish my face in the filtered shower water for a few weeks without breaking out but after that period my skin goes downhill and I have to revert to bottled water) - this isn't a slight on Hello Klean - I think this is just what will happen with any shower filter fixture... so yes it's definitely an improvement but not a fix-all\n* **hair growth serums** \ud83e\udd14 - I've used The Ordinary.. and I think it works.. nothing significant... but maybe it helps combat things.. I haven't been consistant enough though\n* **oils** \ud83d\udc4d - now, I like to oil the ends of my hair and always see a decent improvement in management but it doesn't reverse damage.. I like the Olaplex bonding oil... I've also recently started trying scalp oiling, I used Fable and Mane for a few weeks (small sample) and really liked it.. going to get back into this\n* **scalp massage** \ud83e\udee4 - yeah, I mean I see benefits from this and it's relaxing but it doesn't fix the damage or prevent damage\n* **red light therapy** \ud83e\udee4 - again, just an attempt at increasing growth, I've used my omniluxe mask on my head but I'm unsure how much it's helped\n* **detoxing treatments** \ud83d\udc4d\ud83d\udc4d\ud83d\udc4d - This is my most recent breakthrough, I got a charcoal Innsersense mask as an extra in a makeup order and I do really notice a difference in softness and bounciness of my hair after I use it.. I'm thinking I should keep using it.. and maybe add a detox shampoo?\n* **bonnet / protective styles** \ud83d\ude16 - oh god.. I got a Slip bonnet and it was one of the most uncomfortable things ever.. I'm going to make myself a bonnet from better quality silk and give that a go again.. In terms of protective styles, I've tried many but none of them stay in the whole night.. best I can do at the moment is plop my hair on the top of my head and loosly claw clip it to sleep\n* **silk pillowcase** \ud83d\udc4d - have been using one for ages, it's great.. again, not a fix-all but just reduces damage at night\n* **blow-drying** \ud83e\udd14 - actually, I do notice an improvement in my hair when I blow-dry with a round-brush  rather than air-dry.. maybe it's just smoothing the damage down but I don't notice any additional damage from it\n* **heat protectant** \ud83d\udc4d - I do like Color WOW.. in the past I've used Living Proof 5 in 1 and really enjoyed it (even for air-drying)... yeah.. what can I say.. they aid in the heat-tool side of things\n\n  \nSo... I've come a long way but I still have a ways to go. I try to get my hair trimmed every 3 or so months or more often if I can remember to... and sometimes I'll go search and destroy and trim any split ends that I notice (with very sharp scissors!!!)... my hairdresser has commented that he's noticed an improvement but it seems like I'm still *incurring* damage rather than growing it out (I know you can't reverse it).\n\nI'm curious about things like.. detox treatments and shampoos.. what other products are really good? Should I be using them more often than you typically would? Given that the hardwater buildup is so fast here?\n\nHow about glycolic acid? Or ACV rinses?\n\nAnd then in terms of adding more hydrating products to my routine... I definitely want to keep the classic H&S as my first wash shampoo but I'm open to following up with another product for my 'repeat'.. but overly hydrating products tend to make my hair heavier faster in combination with the hard water...\n\nShould I be rinsing my hair with BOTTLED WATER at this point!? \n\nIt sucks because I want to be able to like.. shower at the gym.. but because they don't have any kind of shower filter it's an immediate no-go for me.\n\nI'd love any recommendations from other long-hair girlies who live in London or any place with equally as hard water (but I think London is actually quite unique in this issue.. I've been to other places with 'hard water' and it doesn't even compare). Have you found a routine that consistantly works for you??\n\nAny advice or insight would be appreciated!

It's relatively long: goes to around the middle of my back and is straight.\n\nNow, the amount of time that it takes me to wash my hair... it's quite embarrassing to say, standalone it takes 40-60 minutes.\nI think its pretty clear whatever I am doing is the issue here, since most people I speak to, at a most say they take 20-30 minutes.\n\nI leave conditioner in after finally pulling through for about 3 minutes usually.\n\nI wash my hair either once or twice a week, and you know, with my head down and underwater for an hour it's quite annoying and the last thing it is, is productive in terms of usage of water and shampoo \ud83d\ude2d\n\n\nWhile washing my hair, I notice some things, it's kind of annoying to get the hair to lather up properly, and my hands always get stuck, and it takes some struggle to get to the scalp easily.\n\nTo get through this problem of my hands just completely caught on my hair I just pull more to be honest and it is kind of exhausting to just pull at your hair until it eventually feels straight enough and clean enough for me to call it a day. I feel like i shouldn't have to do this, but it could just be one of the cons.\n\nIf I feel not that it's full of knots but rather the hair just still isn't letting my hair through, I'll rinse the hair and shampoo again... which is also kind of terrible for effective use but it does loosen everything up a little.\n\nFor the scalp, I do have a little silicone scalp massager to try get the shampoo really in the whole volume next to my head, it's probably the softest my hair feels while I wash.\n\nMy prime suspects at the minute is perhaps I'm not using enough water, for which I'm a little stumped. The main shower head has been broken for like a year, its due to be fixed soon but it's been stalled out for a while. So I tend to just get my hair soaked then grab the shampoo. I feel like this isn't very efficient and wastes both though.\n\nI've thought of using conditioner within the shampoo contents to make things slip easier.. therefore decreasing some of these knots before my hand catches them. Though this didn't really seem to help.\n\nI've thought of using a brush in the shower, which kind of seemed to feel like the same sort of experience leading up to the hair feeling all clean but I heard somewhere that it can make your hair curl, which I keep my hair straight. Also the brush kind of filled up with water and I couldn't get it out without spending an extra 5-10 minutes draining it.\n\nAnother random thing I thought I should mention is when like bundling my hair together to wrap in a towel, I struggle because of like the shape of the hair? Maybe I'm just manifesting issues in my mind out of desperation but when last getting my hair cut it was done differently, so rather than cut straight edge along the bottom they made the hair longer at the middle, and shorter at the sides at the end of my hair. When I have the hair dangling over leant forward, it doesn't converge the same way. But I'm just theorizing at this point.\n\nMaybe just something small I'm doing is making me a divine idiot, but I can't remember the source of this change, I know I used to take way less time, and my hair isn't much longer than when I can remember, only I thought I would be getting quicker.\n\n\nI feel like I have drawn this out too much so\n\nTLDR; Thick, straight, (to middle back) hair.\nAnnoyance in washing: takes about 40-60m, shampoo usage ineffective, pulling knots painful. Hard to get to scalp.\nTried: shampoos with conditioner, wetbrush in the shower, silicone scalp massager  (useful).\nmy ideas of culprits: maybe not enough water, wrong application of shampoo?\n\n\nIf anyone has any tips, or ideas that I could be doing something wrong, or maybe something they've done to increase time washing, help would be really appreciated.\n", "author": "anon_0d797002", "created_utc": 1755223725, "created_iso": "2025-08-15T02:08:45Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/longhair/comments/1mqkkbw/hairwashing_takes_lots_of_time_and_is_annoying_to/", "community": "longhair", "score": 5, "parent_id": null, "title": "Hairwashing, takes lots of time and is annoying to wash", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "slip", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:57:20Z"}

I always carry a mini brush in my purse to take care of knots right away. \n\nbut on a day-to-day basis it's been hard to find something that works. I've been wanting to put my hair up more, but if I put it fully up, it really hurts my scalp. it gets very tender and gives me a headache almost right away.

I use all drugstore products.\n- on occasion: search and destroy the split ends. trim 2-3cm whenever the very ends get too thin, maybe every 4 months or so. \n- running: brush, oil, braid. tie with rubber tie so it doesn't slip. as soon as the run is over I untie, let loose and brush. keeping the scalp as dry as I can helps contain my seborrheic dermatitis.\n- absolutely never: sleep with wet hair, keep heat+moisture on scalp for long, brush roughly/aggressively, skip wash day. keeping my scalp dry and clean was key in achieving volume and length for me.

A family member asked if I got extensions recently and I got to proudly say NOPE (no shade to hair extensions, just makes me happy that my hair can be mistaken for having them). \n\nIf my hair is straightened it's butt length now which has been a long time coming for me!\n\nRoutine: \n- wash about 3x a week except in hot weather when I sweat more and feel it needs washed more. \n- I brush my hair while wet in the shower, upside down\n- i cycle my shampoo/conditioner a lot depending on what my hair needs. My hair is protein sensitive but when I feel it does need a bit (when my curls start lacking definition) i use verb ghost for a few days then stop. Many days I use the John Frieda color depositing shampoo. I mix the John Frieda color depositing conditioner with Overtone scarlet red most shower days and allow to sit in a clip for 5 mins at least while i wash my body and face. If I've just done a color or something damaging on my hair (not often, the color depositing things typically do the trick without me having to dye often) I use the garnier strength repair line (the whole thing, pre shampoo, shampoo, conditioner, and serum). If I'm feeling like my hair is too overloaded with protein or moisture I stop everything else and replace my shampoo and conditioner with the kinky curly come clean and kinky curly knot today, neither of which have protein or are super moisturizing, just cleans the hair and provides enough slip to brush it out without damaging it in the shower. \n- post shower I do a leave in (garnier air dry curl cream usually) and a gel (Kinky curly).\n- I plop upside down in a microfiber towel, do my skincare, then remove the microfiber towel and let my hair air dry\n- often i do overnight curls but always sleep with my hair in a bun regardless. \n- Overtone hair mask once every month or so\n- Rosemary oil on my hairline a few times a week (I have no reaction to the undiluted oil at all and I love the smell, but please dont do that yourself unless you're comfortable with the possibility of a bad reaction)\n-hair oiling with mielle light once every few weeks over my whole scalp.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_1k6w8q1", "text": "So we know bonnets are for everyone! They're beneficial for any hair type. And the most common bonnet shape kind of originated for curly hair.. or hair that's style with waves, perms, or curlers.. hence the roomy shape. However..  I'm wondering if that's the best shape for someone with long, straight hair? Because when I wear that type of bonnet, my hair just kind of falls heavily to the bottom of it.\n\n[example of the \\\\\"classic\\\\\" bonnet shape I'm talking about! ](https://preview.redd.it/e90s6sbw4twe1.png?width=1177&format=png&auto=webp&s=46c48d35ec21d5c47b63bc6facf82f5666667b3d)\n\n\n\nI initially purchased the Slip turban bonnet and.. I absolutely hated it. It was super uncomfortable, didn't fit me right, and the silk felt pretty low-quality. I've been having trouble finding a 100% silk bonnet that's of high-quality silk and is double-faced (so that it also has the shiny side inside). Ideally I really want one with a jersey \"headband\" type opening instead of just tie or just elastic, they look the most comfortable.. and I want it to be high-quality silk because it's more breathable than synthetic fabric.\n\n[\\(the one I bought that I really don't like\\)](https://preview.redd.it/fcm9hy205twe1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=f6fde7d2a45fa7f758520805b3c2689f1786d406)\n\nAnyway.. because I couldn't find exactly what I wanted I just decided to make it myself and bought the exact fabrics that I wanted. However, now I'm unsure what type to make! I was originally thinking of just going with the traditional shape (looks like a pleated circle) - but now I'm wondering if that's really the right type of thing for my hair type. \n\nA shape that I feel actually works on me is those hair turban, microfiber towels that you can get on amazon. You know, they're kind of a teardrop shape, and you flip your hair forward and twist the length of it into the point of the towel and then button it in the back.

My curls looked lumpy and gross because even when my hair was wet i couldn\u2019t get it slippery. It was breaking too and i have so many split ends and thinning ends now. The biggest indication that it could be a water issue is because, you know how in the shower when you apply conditioner, your hair gets really slippery? It wouldn\u2019t happen! it was like rubbing conditioner into steel wool. It wouldn\u2019t soften. I started to wonder if any of my products were working.\n\nFirst i went back to my expensive joico kpak line (i do love it, but when i had better water, my hair looked great with even just pantene.) It helped but i it didn\u2019t feel like the products were soaking in.\n\nMy boyfriend got me and installed for me one of those shower heads that filters water. big difference, my hair was knotting way less when dry!!! i do recommend it. But my conditioner still was not providing slip so i knew something was missing.\n\nEnter citric acid rinses!! i keep a spray bottle in my shower now and apply some when i\u2019m shampooing, some before my conditioner, and a light mist at the end of the shower that i don\u2019t rinse out. \n\nI speculate that the shower filter was taking care of the minerals but not the chlorine?\n\nMy conditioner makes my hair SO slippery now. When it does dry, it has body and movement. I don\u2019t feel the urge to shampoo it every day anymore either. It is back to that sleeker softer look. It barely knots throughout the day.\n\nWhen i first tried it i just used lemon in tap water but now i got citric acid that i\u2019m mixing with tap water. i also plan to try distilled. half a teaspoon per 20oz spray bottle.\n\nIts definitely worth a try for anyone. I came across the idea in the long hair care forum website. The ladies there had no issues using it long term.\n\n\u2665\ufe0f", "author": "anon_f9980677", "created_utc": 1706800450, "created_iso": "2024-02-01T15:14:10Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/longhair/comments/1agd9jz/ever_since_i_moved_2_years_ago_my_2c3a_hair_has/", "community": "longhair", "score": 44, "parent_id": null, "title": "Ever since i moved 2 years ago, my 2c/3a hair has felt gummy, knotted easily, and i\u2019ve had breakage. \u2728Here\u2019s how i finally got my hair back!", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "slip", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:57:20Z"}

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_16r0be1", "text": "Hello \"mane\"iacs (haha dad joke number 1 of the post)! I have been a lurker of this subreddit for a while. I need your expertise.   \n\n\nJust a warning, this is a long post, so I apologize in advance.\n\nFall last year, I made the biggest chop of my life. I went from waist length hair to a pixie. I had many reasons for doing this:   \n\n\n1. I didn't have time to care for my long hair anymore, as it was my final semester in college, my ex-boss was becoming more and more obsessive and demanding, and then shit hit the fan with my family life as well. I had started to learn more about protective styles and my own hair type. I have 1A hair. It is naturally very straight, fine strands. I have a lot of hair, but the strands are so fine that I don't look it. I noticed that my hair started to tangle really badly. My hair type already struggles to keep detangled, but I started noticing dreadlocks by the end of the day. This leads me to reason 2 for making the big chop. \n\n2. My uncle is an amazing hairstylist with over 30 years of professional experience. He's even worked directly under Paul Mitchell before. While I trust my uncle's advice, it just hasn't sat well for me, as I am sure there is a way around my hair type and getting it to be long again. He said that because of my hair being 1A, the shaft of the hair opens outward instead of downward like other hair types. This makes my hair grip itself like velcro and therefore requires 1 of 2 things: A LOT of oils, silicones, leave in conditioners etc, to give slip to the hair, or keep it short. That's when I made the decision to chop it off.  \n\n\nNow, after the big chop, My hair is undoubtedly healthier because it doesn't have the years of damage it had sustained before, but I wish it was long again. I have time to care for it and loved it. I'm hoping that someone else on this subreddit has difficult hair like mine, and has had success in growing it out healthy and strong. Any protective hairstyles (that wouldn't be inappropriate for me to wear as a white woman...I don't want to appropriate anyone's culture) are welcome and any product suggestions are also welcome. I've heard of the silk pillowcases and all that. I'm more interested in learning any tips I can to avoid tangling which my hair type is extremely prone to, and protective styles for when it gets longer. Right now it's ear length for reference. My current hair care \"routine\" is washing it with Loreal El Vive shampoo and conditioner every few days. I've always been a skeptic when it comes to hair masks, conditioning treatments and oils...do they really help? I am open to your advice.", "author": "anon_196a4a8e", "created_utc": 1695568889, "created_iso": "2023-09-24T15:21:29Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/longhair/comments/16r0be1/products_and_tips_for_growing_out_1a_hair/", "community": "longhair", "score": 7, "parent_id": null, "title": "Products and tips for growing out 1A hair.", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "slip", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:57:20Z"}
{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_16nd1uo", "text": "As a fellow long-haired person, I sympathize with everyone who shared stories of hairstylists who went scissor happy. I also have my fair share of those stories: from cutting my hip-length hair to a mullet at my shoulders, to cutting six inches when I was comfortable with one inch. Right now my hair is down to my belly-button and am planning on growing it out even longer.\n\nI also have noticed patterns of how stylists react with your hair to consider as red flags. I went to beauty school, and have training on cutting/coloring hair with a state board license (USA), so I understand the mindset of a hairstylist.\n\nFor example, today I went to a local hair salon to buy some hair products. I've never had my hair cut or colored here. The owner remarks on how long my hair is and notices it is in a straight blunt cut and my hair is wavy/curly. I said I preferred my hair in a blunt cut because layers make my hair poof out. She remarked louder, with her arms in the air, how much more enhanced my curls would look if I put in long layers. I said no thank you, paid for my products, and left the salon. \n\nIn this example, a stylist who dismisses your haircut preferences is not one you want to work with. This stylist decided what would \"look better\" for my hair than what I am comfortable with. \n\nYou want to think of hairstylists as a business partnership, and not a service provider. Would you want to work with someone who dismisses you and leads as though they know better than you? \n\nHere are some other red flags to watch out for:\n\n* The stylist charges you more for having long hair.\n   * Quality stylists, who've devoted years of extended training and workshops in haircutting, are known to charge you more for their experience than for the length of your hair. The best stylists, in my experience, never add a $10 - $15 charge for a trim. Alternatively, the stylist charges you by the hour, instead of focusing on the length of your hair as the culprit for charging more.\n* The stylist makes comments about your hair.\n   * By comments, I do not mean outright rude ones. These comments are the subtle ones that you might let slip. Comments such as \"Did you know you have so much hair?\", \"What do you do with all that hair?\", \"Have you thought about donating your hair?\" might tell you that the stylist is not prepared to handle your length. \n* The stylist goes with what you say and not give their advice.\n   * Stylists absolutely want to please their clients. Yet, if you ask for a certain style, and you might not have the appropriate texture to handle such a cut, a stylist should not blindly do what you tell them. They should give their own expert opinion, and even refuse if they know it will only hurt you in the end. This also goes for color services. If you hair is compromised, it is for the best that the stylist gives their opinion or refuse service. \n* The stylist thinks they know better than you.\n   * Applies only to when you aren't comfortable with the style offered in consultation. Similar to my example story, you ask for one style and they offer a different one that you are not comfortable with, only move forward with the stylist touching your hair if they offer a style you can see yourself with. Any stylist that badgers you to get a style you're not comfortable with done, you should walk out.\n* The stylist is taking longer than usual to cut.\n   * I once had a haircut where I thought the stylist finished the blunt trim at the ends of my hair, per my request. I tried to stand up, then she sat me back down, and continued cutting. I blindly allowed her because I thought she is an expert. In my case, I should've asked why she needed to sit me back down if we were done. Then I knew, and saw the poofy layers I never asked for. Should a stylist take longer than your normal, speak up. If the stylist is transparent with you and say they aren't done, but tell you what they are working on, let them continue. If they are working through something not discussed in your consultation, stop the cut from continuing.\n\nAfter all these red flags, you might ask, \"We did a thorough consultation, the stylist showed me how much I'm comfortable cutting off, and my hair is still botched!\" For that, I tell you what the stylist must have when you initially meet:\n\n* And that is \\*\\*respect\\*\\*. A stylist should treat you with profession and grace when approaching your hair. Would the stylist say the same to someone with shorter hair? Or treat them like a normal, without subtle comments? Wouldn't you want that same respect, and not paraded around the salon like a sideshow? (A stylist once had me walk to each stylist at the salon to show off my hair and have them touch the length. Would they do this to another person with shorter hair?)\n\nAs for how this operates like a business partnership: you are allowing the stylist to treat your hair in exchange for your money. Haircuts can also be pricey, depending on your region. You should think about what it takes to part ways with how much you pay someone to work on your hair. You have the ultimate power here, as you can choose whoever you want to see. Be very careful and thorough about who you let touch your hair. \n\nWhat are some other red flags you've experienced to share here?", "author": "anon_72b2efc0", "created_utc": 1695187858, "created_iso": "2023-09-20T05:30:58Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/longhair/comments/16nd1uo/hair_stylist_red_flags_what_to_look_for_when/", "community": "longhair", "score": 28, "parent_id": null, "title": "Hair Stylist Red Flags - What to look for when finding a stylist", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "slip", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:57:20Z"}

Finally starting to love my hair.This wash day has been the best so far(in the picture is day 2 hair, i've covered the bg for privacy). I used to never leave my hair down due to extremely straw like and frizzy hair. Since starting cg, for the first time in my life, I'm leaving my hair open. I've always wanted to wear my hair open like other women, and finally I'm able to live that dream. And I feel like I look great with my hair down nowadays as well.\n\nI have naturally black (or very very dark brown) curly hair. I almost never use heat. Virgin hair, no color or treatments done ever.\nI have low porosity, moderately thick, coarse, dry and wiry hair.\nWhen curly it ranges from barely waist length to past my waist depending upon the shrinkage. When wet/straight, it is goes past my butt.\n\nMy routine:\n1. Before washing I apply a hair oil (either almond based or coconut based) an hour before I shampoo. If I have the time, I might do overnight oiling (I know many people advice against this, but I've seen that If I just leave oil in my hair and not necessarily the scalp for 7+ hours, my hair is just so much softer and manageable. Oiling this way also helps with shrinkage and somehow my hair coils up a bit more when I do this). Recently I've been using a hair oil prepared by this lady at her home, which she prepares by boiling coconut oil with ayurvedic herbs (a lot of traditional ayurvedic hair oils are prepared this way). I'm thinking of adding some rosemary essential oil to this oil, as I've  been wanting to incorporate rosemary oil into my routine.\n\n2. I apply conditioner before shampoo. I've found that for some reason my hair does not like conditioner when applied after my shampoo. I use requil murumuru butter conditioner. It has good slip and the only reason I use conditioner is to detangle my hair. I apply just enough to help me detangle. Once I've detangled I immediately  shampoo.\n\n3. The shampoo I use really helps in forming curl clumps. It's called dhathri deedhi herbal shampoo. I don't know if this shampoo is ch approved, but that doesn't bother me because I'm not following a super strict cg routine. This shampoo is cheap, gentle and I feel like it removes frizz to an extent and helps in forming frizz free clumps. If I use a conditioner after this, I feel like the Conditioner ruins the lovely frizz free clumps formed by the shampoo.\n\n4. Next onto dripping wet hair, I apply almost 3 nickel sized dollops of shea moisture jamaican black castor oil leave in conditioner using a praying hands motion.\n\n5.  Next I apply 2-3 nickel sized dollops of cantu curl activator cream after emulsifying it by adding some water and rubbing my hands together.\n\n6. Next I apply Umberto Giannini scrunching jelly (3 large dollops). I add more water to my hair if needed.\n\n7. After this I scrunch for about 5-10 mins. I do not use any brushes for curl clumps formation or definition. I might try in the future, but I have a feeling my hair remains best when I don't mess with it too much.\nThen I plop my hair in an old t shirt for 2 hours and then air dry (takes almost a day to completely dry)\n\nI find that my curls can go upto 4 days without needing a wash. I protect my curls at night using a poly satin bonnet or a large mulberry silk satin scarf. I also use loreal elnett hair spray if I go out, esp on windy days.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_ydd82m", "text": "TLDR; do all the things. \n\n\nAfter giving birth to our third, I most wanted to avoid postpartum hair loss. Even more so than postpartum depression. For me specifically PPD can be cured with hormone rebalance but with postpartum hair loss, once your hair\u2019s done falling, it\u2019ll still take months and months to grow it back. \n\nSo I researched a lot. Most things I found were overpriced products designed to work from one angle (topical, like some expensive and promising shampoo or internal, like vitamins). So I thought- let\u2019s try both. Let\u2019s try it all!\n\nSounds expensive! But there\u2019s a way to incorporate these techniques to help salvage all that beautiful hair you grew while pregnant without buying into all the, frankly, crap. \n\nWith silicones I\u2019m type 2A. When I use CGM I become a solid 2C. BSL, thin individual strands with relatively thick density. (Partly thanks to my hair care!) I strongly feel these incorporations to my routine have greatly lessened my postpartum hair fall. I wanted to pass along these helpful tips in case they may help save the hair and sanity of you or a loved one! \n\nDiscretionarily, obviously YMMV. \n\n\n\nNutrition\n\nI\u2019ve always continued with prenatal vitamins but after using the same brand for over 5 years I thought perhaps I should switch it up. So, instead of taking my usual One a Day Prenatal capsule, I now use a liquid multivitamin, Garden of Life Vitamin Code. Yes it\u2019s disgusting but I mix it in with my organic juice cleanse I drink every day anyway so now I enjoy the taste. I also mix cod liver oil and maca powder (depending how late I\u2019m the day it is, maca can give you a lot of energy!) in with this drink. \n\nAdditionally I commit to remaining hydrated throughout the day. \n\nI also take a B vitamin complex, liquid vitamin D, and magnesium. I also am a lover and daily drinker of raw milk. \n\n\n\nHair Treatment\n\nI typically wash every 2-3 days. I tried CGM and loved the results but once my hair fall began around 2.5 months postpartum, I decided to switch back to silicones because I wanted all the slip I could get to avoid any potential breakage because of how silk-like my fine textured hair is.\n\nBefore washing I use oils and massage my scalp firmly but gently, deep tissue but avoiding tangling my hair. Approximately every other wash I also apply a homemade leave in with 4 parts Garnier papaya hair treat 3 in 1, one part aloe vera and one part honey. \n\nAdditionally I use the cheap Vo5 clarifying shampoo about once every 3 weeks. \n\nBefore my shower I massage the oils (sometimes with my head upside down) for about 10 minutes. The oil mixture includes castor, rosemary, and peppermint. If I\u2019m using my leave in I go ahead and massage that onto my scalp too. \n\nWhen I shampoo I add a tsp. of aloe vera (yes, again) and a tsp. of my oil mix to the shampoo in my palm, mix those together, then wash my hair like normal. \n\nAdmittedly I use a lot of conditioner, often more than one type and often in more than one application. I like hot showers and if I feel too much conditioner was rinsed out I\u2019ll just condition again, heavily focusing on my ends and working my way up toward my head. I like feeling that some conditioner got left in my hair. \n\nAfter my shower I gently squeeze and pat dry with a cotton shirt. I\u2019m thinking I\u2019ll have even better results from a microfiber towel and may switch soon. I let it air dry. I never use heat. I comb with a wide tooth comb and work my way to finer combs if I feel like it. \n\nBecause I wash my hair relatively frequently, I get oily quick so on days 2+ I\u2019ll typically put my hair in a protective style, my favorite being Dutch braid because it\u2019s easy for me to do on myself and I like the way it looks. \n\nA couple pillows on our bed have satin cases so I sleep on those sometimes but not every night. \n\nI purchased nylon hair ties (think pantyhose material), and I love those for tying my hair up. No snag, they\u2019re very gentle yet have surprisingly decent grip. \n\nAlso, when my hair is dry I add 1-2 but no more! drops of oil to the very ends of my tips. This has helped with avoiding breakage tremendously!\n\nI can\u2019t think of anything else right now but feel free to ask for any further clarification!\n\nI just know I would have appreciated someone having gifted me this information a pregnancy or two ago. But through 3 pregnancies and experiencing it all and trial and error I hope these tips will benefit you! It\u2019s certainly not perfect but I used to lose hair in clumps by the handful, and these applications have reduced my dreaded postpartum hair shed to where I\u2019m losing the normal amount I would before getting pregnant. \n\n\n\nThank you for coming to my head talk!", "author": "anon_5946c4d0", "created_utc": 1666725632, "created_iso": "2022-10-25T19:20:32Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/longhair/comments/ydd82m/postpartum_hair_loss_cureish/", "community": "longhair", "score": 3, "parent_id": null, "title": "POSTPARTUM HAIR LOSS CURE(ISH).", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "slip", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:57:20Z"}

Mine is shoulder length, but that's pretty long for me. I used to be a pixie cut queen. It was the best hair I ever had, and I got so many compliments on it. I decided to grow it out about a year and a half ago. I want to explain why I made that decision, because it was my choice but now I want to reconsider. When I decided to grow it out, it was because of a man named Charlie. He and I were dating at the time and we were talking about getting married. I was my own stylist at the time, cutting my own hair whenever I needed/wanted to. He loved my hair and me. One time I was grilling him on long hair though, and he let it slip that he did think long hair was nice, and that he would like to see me with long hair if I wanted to grow it out. He would never have mentioned it if I hadn't asked him about it. He is not a controlling guy, and he just wanted me to be happy. Anyways, a few weeks went by of me thinking about that conversation. I remembered my childhood days of wearing my hair long and how much I hated it then. I had been wearing it short for so long that I had a complete transformation in my hair-dentity. I loved my hair and felt good about myself it it. I felt so much freer with it short. It was easy to care for and so healthy. No more split ends or frizz. I also loved Charlie a ton. I talked to my mom about it and she made some good points that got me really thinking about why Charlie would appreciate my hair long. I finally decided to stop cutting my hair and let it grow out when we secretly decided to get married. That was right at the end of August 2017. I didn't tell anyone about my decision for a while because I wanted to be able to change my mind. I didn't tell Charlie I was growing it out until about a month or two later when he mentioned that my hair was getting pretty long. I kept growing it out until January 2018, when Charlie officially proposed to me. It was about ear-length in our pictures from that day. We were engaged for four and a half months and were married in May, and my hair was about chin length in our wedding pictures. I am still growing it out now. My hair is long enough to go it a high pony now, and it's pretty curly. I have been really frustrated with my hair lately. I feel like my hair is a problem for me to solve, and I usually get a bad grade. I really miss my pixie cut. When I decided to grow it out, I thought I'd be able to handle it better now that I'm older and have more experience with hair. But I feel like I have reverted to 13 year old me, struggling to fix my hair in a way that looks good and won't give me a headache. I'm not into using heat on my hair, it just doesn't work very well and I'm not good at using the irons anyway. I want to cut my hair because I want to love it again. But I also feel like I'd be throwing away my hard work and even betraying my husband a little bit. I have told him that I kinda hate my hair long, and he told me to cut it if I wanted. He's been super sweet about it. If he told me to keep it long, I so would, but he doesn't boss me around like that. So it's up to me.

It\u2019s just past shoulder length with some layers. Some parts of my hair curl directly from the scalp, other sections need about 2-3 inches before it gets any movement. It\u2019s very silky and fine which is something I struggle with. \n\nI typically brush out my hair and braid it so it has a softer wave but lately I\u2019ve been wanting to embrace my curls. For the longest time, I hated the way my hair looked because I just didn\u2019t feel pretty. Half of my hair wants to wave and the other half is hidden ringlets.

And ive always tried different products, and even let my hairdresser do it, and it still ends up looking like a train wreck. \n\nMy usual routine (regardless of products, tho the ones ive been using i will include) is that i use shampoo 2 (recently 3) times on my hair (for about a month or two been using cantu shea butter meant for naturall curls coils and waves)  detangle it and than catch it with a claw clip. Than while my hair was still wet ( sometimes id need to add some water if i waited too much) and i used to (without brushing through it (im sorry i recently started not doing that i know its bad\ud83d\ude2d) id apply gel (i think since the beguinning ive only ever used wellaflex men with power definition 6) and than  curl cream (which ive switched around a bit but for a while now its been Frizz ease dream curls) scrunched my hair to oblivion (i also applyed the products like this and pat the products into my hair while keeping my head upside down) and than diffusing  my hair upside down(air drying takes WAYYYYY too long and leaves my hair like a birds nest but diffusing also takes over an hour). Now i was also recently told that using gel before curl cream was a big no no so i switched the steps to those two. I also sleep with a bonnet, which tbh helped a bit. My idea of a refresh routine is just scrunch in some water and pray tho i very rarely do this. Oh and i usually wash my hair every 3 days or try to stretch it a bit.\n\nMy issue is that ive used multiple different products, tried finger coiling (fell out immediately, so i permanently stuck to scrunching), and while my end results may look \"okay\" i always HATE how they look down, like the back looks horrible, whatever tf is the top part doing????, the root area lays so weird whilst the tips of my hair are turning into spirals and the top section of my hair lays really odd and flat ish while the bottom one are spiraling away. Even when ive went out with my hair down people would comment saying wtf is up with your hair and that it looks better in my regular half up half down style. Ive had my hair down to my waist before and cut up to my shoulders, this isnt a length problem. But i always have the same problems. I usually just get around them doing a half up half down hair style but its genuenly so annoying to not be able to just wear your hair down and i hate it so much. Ive tried diffusing it with no product and it also looks horrible. It dries like its tangled and i always have wet frizz. I genuenly just want to be able to go out the house with my hair down without spending 3 bussiness days perfecting my curls, that even styled manage to look like perfect rental space for my neighbourhood pigeons.\n\nEven when i had my hair routine done by a professional, who simply applied on curl cream and diffused it upside down (idk how she managed to get the sections so small, tbh it looked kinda cute?) It went and had the audacity to fall out after a short amount of time and look like a poofy mess hiding some curls by the end of the day.

Also i don\u2019t really want defined hair. I like my hair to be soft and natural and a little messy. Also very hydrated.\n\n\n\nok heres my routine:\n\ni use the pink maui shampoo and conditioner\n\ncurlsmith lightweight air dry dream\n\nouidad featherlight styling cream\n\nthen i use that bouncecurl brush thing\n\nthenbounce curl creme gel\n\nthen i let it air dry (i\u2019m too lazy to diffuse + i lost it while moving)\n\nI  havenr done any dyes or treatments to my hair and also don\u2019t sleep with anything protecting my hair and usually wake up to frizzy hair (but i\u2019m getting a bonnet soon!) also i dont do a refresh routine.\n\n  \nthis routine works pretty well for my hair. the back of my hair somehow usually ends up frizzy though but i think it\u2019s because it needs more product then the rest of my hair cause it\u2019s more curly and because i always manage to Miss a small chunk of my hair. \n\nokay i hope that can give you an idea of my hair. ask me any questions for anything i missed. here are the things i need help with, tho:\n\n\n\n1) how do i put up my hair? i mean this may sound like a dumb question but every time i put my hair up it slowly falls down throughout the day and just doesn\u2019t look good. I want to actually have like a mid ponytail, not a low one. So are there any methods to achieve this? \n\n2) what are some hair tie/scrunchie/claw clip recommendations? i need some hair ties/scrunchies that are really flexible and stretchy and smooth on my hair. all of the hair ties i\u2019ve ever used get stuck in my hair and make it kinda tangled. i\u2019m looking for satin ones that actually feel like it\u2019s just holding my hair up, not tangling it if that makes sense.\n\n3) how do i make my hair stop going like \\\\ this from this side. Like at my root my hair is kinda flat but the farther it gets fork my scalp the bigger it gets. i can only see it when looking at my hair from the side. I dont want my hair to be like \\\\ i want it to be like  / if u know what i mean. like to be bigger at the roots then the bottom\n\n4) hiw do i get my roots to be curlier? They\u2019re iinda flat but i think if\u2019s because i tie my hair up ALL THE TIME and i do it kinda tight. \n\n5) this may be the dumbest question by far but how do i see how my hair looks from the back? i literally never learned how to do this. I do like set my phone down and record a 360 from my hair but is ther a quicker way to do it? is that how all girls do it?? is there like a mirror method i can do quickly? i usually only see how i look from one angle and then i go outside looking like a mess because i dont notice thw back of my hair looking bad. \n\n6) what are some necessities for my hair? the products i named are really the only curly products i use for my hair. are there any other products i missed out on? And please give some reccomendations of those products.\n\n  \n7) what haircut should i get? as of now my hair is just blunt and i didn\u2019t do anything with it. It\u2019s really long and when wet it goes down to my hips. I want my hair to frame my face better and also to fix that problem i had in #3 so what do i ask for? i asked for layers once and the stylist told my it would make my hair even bigger. so what curly cut do i ask for? I really wnat my hair to be more shaped instead of blunt.\n\n  \ni think that\u2019s all. thank you for reading all of this! and if u have any critiques on my haircare routine please tell me and tell me how to fix them! thank you again.", "author": "anon_16b6912c", "created_utc": 1780768858, "created_iso": "2026-06-06T18:00:58Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/curlyhair/comments/1tyo710/i_need_a_lot_of_hair_advice_kinda_long/", "community": "curlyhair", "score": 2, "parent_id": null, "title": "I need a lot of hair advice!

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_1ssa9h0", "text": "Hello curly girlies/guys. I'm a beginner with this so I wanted to share my story. I'm also excited to join this forum so I can read your stories + product recommendations/methods etc because I still have a ways to go but doing much better so far \u2764\ufe0f So, here's my story, current routine and products I've been using.\n\nGrowing up, my hair was frizzy and I didn't know what to do so I straightened it and tried using hair oils but was so frustrated that I eventually just kept it up in a high bun for years, rarely letting it down. I thought it was straight but, looking back, it's always curled right out of the shower or pool. I would just brush it out and fight with it to get it to a \"normal non-frizzy straight\". \n\nLiterally did not know that meant it was curly lol.\n\nOr wavy? I don't know, please let me know if you think it's curly or wavy because I have not even figured out my hair type yet since it wants to act half straight sometimes but that might be due to decades of mishandling it? What does it look like to you?\n\nAt age 30-ish I started suspecting that it was wavy/curly but was too stressed to inspect further or even care lol. In the last 2 years though I started actually researching and last Summer I committed to begin trying to heal it/experiment starting out slow. \n\nThe first curl cream I've tried is 4u by Tia cream. My hair was so dry/damaged that I got it cut pretty short and started trying to wear it down more or use a low bun/small claw clip. I've tried different shampoos + conditioners. Mane N Tail left my scalp super dry. Now I use Hairitage and sometimes 4u by Tia clarifying. My scalp is still dry though and not sure if it's the products or the hard water but figured I'd use these up before trying another type.\n\nI've been washing my hair only once a week for 2 years because before when I would wash it 3-4x a week, it was falling out in clumps all throughout my 20s. But that doesn't happen now. I had a hairstylist tell me that my hair isn't thin, I have a lot of \"fine\" hair. But honestly that's just what I was told. I still struggle to understand any of this lol. \n\nI mostly just air dry because I don't have a diffuser yet. I've started to find myself reverting back to the high bun lately out of comfort because my hair is so light that a small breeze makes me to have a nice portion of my hair for an unexpected and undesired snack \ud83d\ude02 And it's WINDY here in WA state!! Blehhh... \n\nMy hair seems to be really wanting lightweight products because as you can see from that day 2 current picture, it completely straightened out. It rarely goes that straight on it's own, usually a mix of waves/straight pieces so I'm thinking the curl cream is too heavy or maybe I'm using too much. I can say that it's definitely working in the moisturizing sense. \n\nI don't use gel or mousse yet because I don't know how to and starting everything all at once feels overwhelming plus can't really afford to right now. Just little things at a time and make it stretch. I tried using a bonnet to sleep in but it keeps falling off in the middle of the night. \n\nAnyways, that's my 9-10 month slow beginnings routine/products and former history. I want to try a hot oil treatment but not sure how to approach that ond yet either.

I just wanted to share what has worked based on my preferences to achieve this curl definition. This is how I like my hair to look, it blows in the wind and isn\u2019t stiff or stuck in one place. I do not like the crunchy or wet look, nor do I like my hair to feel crunchy or hard to the touch. \n\nShampoo/Conditioner: \n\n \u2014> Amika Hydrorush (Normal wash) \n\n \u2014> Olaplex (Every other week) \n\n Tangle Teezer to detangle in the shower from ends to root. \n\nStyling products are applied to wet hair with my hands and brushed through normally with my hands, I will use my tangle teezer if there are some knots. \n\nLeave In: \n\n \u2014>Miss Jessie\u2019s Leave In Conditioner \n\n   \\*\\*\\*I like this one because it has a jelly consistency \n\n \u2014> Redken Anti-Snap Spray \n\n   \\*\\*\\* Sprayed on the ends and in frizzy/problems areas\n\nCreams: \n\nCurlsmith Weightless Air Dry Cream  \n\nCurlsmith Hold Me Softly Style Balm \n\n   \\*\\*\\* I\u2019ve used both of these together for at least 2 years\n\n   and will never look back. \n\nDiffuse for about 15 minutes low heat and low speed. \n\nDepending on what look I\u2019m going for, I\u2019ll break the cast with the OGX Coconut Oil. \n\nThis will last me about 3 days, which works out because I work outside and need to wash my hair more often. Easy to put into a messy bun or claw clip if it starts to get frizzy. \n\nI sleep with a pineapple ponytail and bonnet every night. \n\nMy biggest peeves are when I can smell the product in my hair throughout the day, or when I turn my head. For example, I felt that I could smell my hair when I used Mielle, Shea Moisture, and OUAI products.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_1skqs8z", "text": "Hiya!  I\u2019m the only curly in my family and I am trying to learn how to best manage and work with my hair,  but I\u2019m struggling to get the results I want. I know that there are looks that would never work for my hair because it\u2019s just not my curl type or something my hair can do naturally and I am perfectly okay with that! I am self taught and self learning (thanks reddit) so ALL INFO is VERY WELCOME EVEN IF it\u2019s not exactly about what I am asking. I know i should read all the wikis in all the curly groups but my ADHD makes it difficult.\n\nI do not follow the Curly Girl Method so ALL PRODUCTS EXCEPT anything with LAVENDER as I am allergic, or any form of WHEAT/GLUTEN in the ingredients are welcomed and ALL other suggestions (even CGM) are on the table. Tips that have made things easier or you wish you knew are welcome as well.  Please lay \u2018em all on me.\n\nHair info:\n\nI have just below hip length hair and I know the length can weigh curls down, I may be getting a curly cut soon but will keep most of my length. When my hair is short (from 1\u201d to shoulder blades) it is in tight ringlets, airdried. I can have/get ringlets at this length but they often fall or are very loose. I haven\u2019t been able to keep them all day or if I can, they are never there second day, especially my bottom layer which loses curl fast. As a child I had this length hair and it was in medium sized ringlets instead of super tight. I  do understand that your hair can change over time and what it used to be is not always how it is now. I try to keep that in mind. \n\nIn a pony tail, if you take your hands and make a circle with your thumb and index finger thats my hair thickness when it\u2019s \u201cthin\u201d and bushed out, larger when my hair is done. I am a white woman with Irish and German heritage. Not sure if any of that is important at all but extra info.\n\nI have recently gotten a diffuser, i didnt realize how important it was for a cast until I did, I used to get so upset that no gel created a cast when I was air drying my hair, honestly I\u2019m still learning, making mistakes, and still consider myself a newbie to all this. I know i need to use gel to get that cast, I am working on figuring you out how much and what gel works best for me. (Q bellow) It\u2019s crazy comparing the time I spend diffusing to letting my hair air dry, it takes HOURS at this length and thickness to airdry. I\u2019m now hooked on diffusing. Also all the stressing on getting a cast just from a lack of knowledge and how silly I felt that the little addition to my routine was what was missing. All that frustration, it made me just laugh now.\n\nMy routine both wash and diffusing are bellow, night care, and specific Q\u2019s are at the bottom sectioned into what they are asking about.\n\n1)My wash routine:\n\n\\+Wash with As I Am Pom shampoo on my roots and length, use scalp scrubby thing to make sure all my roots get covered. I allow to sit a little and once a month or so I clarify with Suave clarifying shampoo. (Q bellow)\n\n\\+Apply conditioner (currently using the yellow skala and I LOVE it) and scrunch in all ways. Head up, head bent to the sides, head down and scrunch upward, etc then put in top knot while I do the rest of my showering.\n\n\\+Often I brush my hair with the conditioner to make sure my hair is saturated.\n\n\\+Rinse conditioner, wring out some water, and add leave in (Miele Pom) and curl cream (Marc Anthony yellow bottle) in sections from nape to top.\n\n\\+I occasionally will also brush this too but have noticed that it disrupts my natural wet curls.\n\n\\+Scrunch schrunch scrunch\n\n\\+Plop in microfiber towel (Q bellow)\n\n\\+Scrunch with same towel after doing skin care \n\n\\*STEP OFTEN DONE AT A DIFFERENT TIME\\* Apply gel  (got2be) and (sometimes mouse, mouse def, as well) to all of my hair in praying hands, and try to get it evenly throughout my hair, i do this in sections a lot. Working nape to crown. (Q bellow)\n\n\\+ Scrunch scrunch scrunch \n\n2)How I diffuse:\n\n\\+I use a \u201cuniversal diffuser\u201d idk if that\u2019s the specific type or what not. (Q bellow, amazon doesnt let em check past orders, dumb glitch)\n\n\\+I often forget this step but I like to hover diffuse my roots to get some volume and because my roots tend not to dry when I forget this step and I ADORE when my hair has lots and lots of volume. (Q bellow)\n\n \\+I start at the nape of my neck and work in roughly inch thick thick sections upward and around the skull. I am working on sectioning/diffusing side, back, side, but have had some issues with the sections behind my head, or not realizing at the sides I took from the back. I know this throws my curls off, I am still learning. This is sometimes where I add gel to my hair in each section i am working on  right before diffusion.\n\n\\+I scrunch my hair and squish it to get all the water/product evenly throughout my hair and for my curls to be curlier as my wet hair and gravity can pull my curl clumps downward (I do brush product through most washes in the shower, lmk if i should skip this). I am unsure if my products are too heavy or it\u2019s just gravity\n\n\\+I then place the scrunched up hair (pixie?) onto the diffuser in a kinda ball shape and sometimes move the hair so it is covering more area on the diffuser. I use a heat protectant spray before and med heat, might be switching to cool air though as I know that\u2019s recommended. I dry each section until I think that is it mostly dry, i have noticed less dry = less curl. This often gives me curls and a cast if I use enough gel, but I\u2019m not always getting a cast. (Learning I need A LOT of gel, recs welcome)\n\n\\+As I work my way up, I have my wet hair clippped on the top of my head, I clip the dry hair at the root together(I have very thick hair) as i work on sections going up and forward, if I don\u2019t, the wet hair and the dry parts mix together and I don\u2019t want to have extra heat on dry hair if it can be avoided. (Q bellow)\n\n\\+If the upper layers have dried too much (another reason I think gel in sections might be best option) I mist them with a spray bottle and scrunch scrunch scrunch before diffusing. (Q bellow)\n\n\\+I try to have the hair closest to my face done in their own sections than the rest of my hair but also (pixie?) diffuse this section and it tends to be the curliest, it is shortest so makes sense.\n\nQ\u2019s:\n\nWashing Q\u2019s:\n\n\\+What\u2019s a good clarifying shampoo that isn\u2019t super expensive but wont feel like my hair is fried? Should I clarify every 2 weeks or once a month? How exactly does it get the product out? What is a good thing to look for in a good clarifying shampoo?\n\n\\+Should I be applying the mousse in the shower with my other leave ins or should it be on dryer hair, like post plop/microfiber scrunch? \n\n\\+How do I apply products into my wet hair I\u2019ve wrung/scrunched water out of without disrupting my curls? If I brush they dont always go back to ringlets, but I have been using s detangler instead of wide tooth. Last wash I tried to avoid brushing leave in products through because of this. \n\nLeave in product Q\u2019s:\n\n\\+Should I try to scrunch the products in, like start at tips and work up the hair shaft to the root? Do i do this like a normal scrunch or like do i apply it by like gripping the hair as I work upward? I always feel it\u2019s unevenly distributed but that could just be just my minds saying, plus i do scrunch loads all through my routine, maybe too much. I would be doing this is hair sections as i normally would, like how i section to diffuse.  \n\n\\+After applying leave in products at the end of my shower to wet hair (slightly wrung/water hand scrunched mostly out) I feel if I scrunch my hair with my microfiber towel it will be taking the product off my hair more than getting the water out of my hair. Is this thought accurate? How long should I wait before using my microfiber towel?\n\n\\+Is there an amount of time my hair should have the leave in products in before diffusing?\n\nGel Q\u2019s:\n\n\\+What exactly should I be looking for in a gel for my curly hair? I am pretty sure i need a very strong one (hence my experiment currently with Got2Be gel), one that holds the curls, and does a hard cast. I do have a few different gels I have tried in the past, before I diffused, that I\u2019m going to retry but what gels do you recommend/use? Is homemade flaxseed gel something I should try or is it a gimmick?\n\n\\+Should I be applying my gel (and/or mousse) in the shower along with the leave ins or is it better to do it on more dry hair/closer to diffusing? \n\n\\+After plopping, how wet should my hair be when applying gel if the application is done after right before diffusing?\n\n\\+Should I be misting dryer sections before I add in the gel right before diffusing when applying gel in sections indivivually? I sometimes just do this with the top section regardless of gel to squish all product through a last time before diffusing to encourage my curls and so it dries from diffuser not air. \n\n\\+Are there forms of gel that are in a spray that has good hold?\n\n\\+Is there an amount of time my hair should have the gel in it prediffuse to let it sink into my hair or similar?\n\n\\+++If I mist water into my hair with gel in it already but on its way to drying does the gel become like when it is applied or is it drying and already forming the cast even though it is has been rewet? Is this different with different gels? \n\n\\+After applying gel should I comb through my hair? I use a detangler or wide tooth in the shower with my other products. Ringlets/curl disruption is also possible here. \n\nDiffusing Q\u2019s:\n\n\\+Is diffuser type important? I know there\u2019s a couple of kinds, like I\u2019ve seen a mention and an amazon ad for a \u201cfinger diffuser\u201d. What is the differences between the types, what types work best for what, and how do i know the proper type for my hair?\n\n\\+How do I get the MOST volume I can while diffusing my hair?\n\n\\+Roughly how long should I have my hair sections on the diffuser? (Reminder: hip length)\n\n\\+When diffusing is clipping dry hair at the root with a duck clip or mini claw clip an issue? What\u2019s a good alternative? How do you avoid wet and dry hair mixing?\n\n\\+Is there a different way I should be putting my hair on the diffuser?  Should I like dangle my hair and put end on my diffuser and lift the diffuser towards my scalp and pixie this way?  I have been kinda doing that in my hands when i do my last scrunch/squish of my hair before putting it on the diffuser. I did the lift method before but dont remember the results, this method is a bit tricky with my hair length, but practice. Any tips or info VERY welcome on this my curls are not cohesive, I am out of depth with this. Used to my hair being wild and doing whatever the fuck it wants. \n\nSleep:\n\n\\+Should I be sleeping in a long bonnets instead of getting all my curls in a mushroom one? Idk if that description makes senses to anyone. Basically a normal double layer bonnet but I tend to get the XL ones for room and volume. Would a smaller bonnet be more beneficial? I don\u2019t braid my hair or twist it into a bun, I lightly fold my hair sometimes to get it into the bonnet then shake it out inside kind of. \n\n\\+How exactly do I pineapple? I have some silk scarves I like to put my hair in as a change up from bonnets. Whats the best way you\u2019ve used with a scarf to keep your hair up/protected? What about wearing a silk scarf out the house? (I live in my bonnet so I kinda wanna switch to scarfs when I go out because, well people where Iive, dont take to kindlyjudgey af to bonnets outside, way diff from my old home)\n\n\\+I use a silk pillowcase, is there anything else I can be doing at night to protect my curls/help my hair?\n\n\\+Are there protective styles that could help keep my curls while I sleep? Or even just are a protective way to have my hair in my sleep?

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_1rxhkne", "text": "Hi everyone! Long time member of this sub but my first time posting.\n\n Firstly I wanna thank every single person that has submitted questions or victories because you've helped me learn what is possible with my curls. I grew up with a mom that had curly hair but gave herself blow outs and never showed me how to care for my curls. I mainly got my advice from magazines in the early 2000's \ud83e\udd26\u200d\u2640\ufe0f (iykyk) which ended up in me bleaching, straightening and not taking good care of my hair. I had scalp problems growing up but never knew how to correct or even paid attention to it. \n\nSo fast forward to now.... I've done two big chops, the curly girl method for a few years, and then stopped the CGM because it just.......didn't work for my hair type. My hair is interesting to take care of because while it's fine I have a lotttttttt of it. Most routines I do end in tears. I could never seem to get my hair shiny no matter what product or routine I was using or accomplish low-ish frizz (ofc some frizz is natural and I love it ). \n\nMy great great grandmother is 100% Cherokee Indian (I am a splitting image of my dad and grandma which are the descendants of my GG.) My dad has loads of fine curls. And then my grandparents on the other side are both Irish (my mom has natural red hair, curly yet course hair). So, as an adult I've set out to learn how to best care for my hair! \n\nI've done it all. SOTC, praying hands, squish to condish, no leave in, yes leave in, gel, mousse, hair spray, cowash only.  Sometimes I'm happy for like 10 minutes and then my curls fall and I'm confused. Which I also don't mind because I can try so many different things and I never get bored. But it's never been the \"AH! I did ittttt!\" .... Until today. I finally found my routine and it feels so good! I knew I had to share in case anyone else was lost like I've been. \n\nSo here is my routine that got me this goddess like results: \n\nDouble cleanse (dove intense repair, NYM Mango butter), Condition with Dove 10-in-1 repair mask (leave on for 5 minutes while I shower), detangle with tangle teaser brush+ add water until I get seaweed level consistency..rinse, apply kinky curly knot today leave in and squish to condish..rinse out fully. Then I brush with tangle teaser a second time with my hair SOAKED and wrap into a low bun with a claw clip. To style post shower, I used a wiiiide tooth comb to form clumps, pulsed my curls up to my roots, let air dry for a few minutes then diffused until 100% dry. No product. I'm in awe. \n\nI sleep with a satin pillowcase for protection. For refreshing I've just spritzed with water and pulsed my curls until I'm happy with them. I'm sure adding some leave in will happen tomorrow.\n\nIf you're still here with me I appreciate you!

I\u2019m disabled and have a hard time keeping my arms above my head; it can make me pass out, and my shoulders and elbows tend to sublux really, really easily afterwards. So for forever I\u2019ve styled my hair upside down. Shower with my head over, put products in like that, diffuse like that. However, I have a crazy cowlick at the back of my head, literally right down the middle, and this way of styling emphasizes it so much. I know it\u2019s the back of my head so it\u2019s not my business, but I have been able to style upright on occasion and it is much less prominent. Does anyone else have similar physical limitations and any tips and tricks? I\u2019m also of course down for anyone to make suggestions, I appreciate it all.\n\nSecondly, I just was wondering about curl upkeep while being disabled. I can\u2019t usually get more than day one hair, so day two I put it in a claw clip and then actually sleep with it in a claw clip (i also use a silk pillowcase) until my next shower. This keeps my hair curly in the claw clip, but I absolutely can\u2019t put it back down. But I can usually only shower twice a week, so also wondering if anyone has any advice for me in this regard. Also with keeping hair from getting dry, I don\u2019t know if I should try refreshing on day two?

I've been lurking and searching the sub, but I'm honestly so overwhelmed that I figured I'd just ask directly \u2014 please bear with me, I'm a complete beginner.\n\nI'm a guy with shoulder-length, coarse, curly hair, and I've always struggled with frizz and very inconsistent results day to day \u2014 plus a tangled mess every morning. I've recently decided I actually want to take care of my hair properly, partly for my self-esteem, and I've been watching tutorials and reading guides online, but every video seems to assume I already know the basics, uses 15 products, and only talks about \"Wash Day\" without ever explaining what to do on the days in between.\n\nI'll be honest about what I've been doing wrong: I've just been using shampoo and conditioner every shower and drying with a regular towel (most recently using Dove Intensive Repair). I now know neither of those is ideal for curly hair, and I'm ready to change my habits \u2014 I just need someone to walk me through it from scratch.\n\n**My request:** Could people help me build a simple routine, explained as if I know absolutely nothing?

I don't think I need much styling beyond that, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. The three ways I wear my hair are: parted in the middle (going for a 70s Jim Morrison/Robert Plant look \u2014 my usual), parted on the side (love this look but frizz makes it unmanageable), or tied back with a scrunchie for work or when I need it out of the way. I'd also love to eventually grow it out longer than shoulder length.\n\nI don't know my curl type or porosity yet \u2014 happy to figure that out if it helps you help me.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_1tht856", "text": "Hi! So back in February I cut my hair from about chest length to mid neck length. Previously from that, I had about waist length hair. When I first cut it to chest length, my hair went from curly/wavy to what my curls actually look like (they tend to dry in ringlets). I was told this was because the weight was significantly less which meant my curls could bounce up into what they actually are. Well in February I decided I wanted to go shorter and I was really excited because it meant my hair would be even curlier. However that hasn\u2019t been the case. If anything I\u2019ve found that it\u2019s more straight than anything. When I wash it sometimes it curls nicely, but it doesn\u2019t stay for very long. And I\u2019ve noticed the back never curls, which I think could be due to the fact that it is short than the front. \n\nMy routine rn is I wash it about every three days with VERB curl shampoo/conditioner and then I brush it away from the root (I was told this would give my hair volume) and then I let it air dry. And at the beginning (first few weeks after my hair cut) it would curl nicely but I\u2019ve noticed now that it doesn\u2019t curl at all. I\u2019ve started using Kevin Murphy Killer Curls cream which helps sometimes, but other times I notice it doesn\u2019t help at all. Also as a side note, I don\u2019t own a blow dryer and I shower at night before I go to bed so I\u2019m usually going to bed with wettish hair (sometimes it\u2019s already dry or mostly dry though). Should I be letting it dry completely first? I haven\u2019t noticed a difference in dry/wet hair when going to bed. The curls are always gone in the morning regardless.\n\nWhat I have noticed is that the first day my curls are typically fine, but when I go to sleep I wake up and they\u2019re gone. Is there something I should be putting on my head to ensure my curls don\u2019t fall out while I sleep? \n\nI have also recently started a job where my hair has to always be pulled back (braided, bun, ponytail) and I\u2019ve noticed that even if my hair is curly, if I throw it into a ponytail the curls are gone once I pull the scrunchie out. I know that the more I touch my hair the more the curls will fall out, but is there anything I can do to ensure I don\u2019t lose my curls after it gets pulled into a ponytail?\n\nObviously I\u2019m going to be growing my hair back out now, but rn I\u2019m really upset that I can only get a few hours at most of my natural curls, so any help or advice would be so appreciated!!\n\nAlso, sorry if format is weird, I\u2019m on mobile :/", "author": "anon_428915e7", "created_utc": 1779210321, "created_iso": "2026-05-19T17:05:21Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/curlyhair/comments/1tht856/question_about_losing_curls/", "community": "curlyhair", "score": 1, "parent_id": null, "title": "Question about losing curls", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "_topics", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:58:38Z"}

It works decently to diffuse and set my hair, but I'm growing out my natural curls after some hormonal changes and I really don't want to damage them on the medium heat setting when im in a rush.

Lol whatever I guess)\n\nI decided today to style my hair without bangs to see if I like it. I cant tell if it's horrible, or if I'm just not used to having my hair this way. I dont exactly hate how my hair turned out today, but I LOVE my bangs, and I'm now looking through pictured of them like they're my dead wife or something. But what if everyone else is right my bangs look weird or out of place?\n\nRoutine:\n\nWash and condition with Aussie (the avacado moisturizing line). Add leave-in conditioner (orange scala). Split hair in half, add gel (got 2 be glued) in sections and brush style (I just use my detangling brush). At the top of my head I do a horizontal part and brush my hair back so that only the front has a middle part. The rest I brush to the respectful side. For my bangs I part out a tiny section at the front, use a small amount of gel and finger coil them. I diffuse on high heat and high speed, dry the length and ends if my hair first, then focus on my roots when my hair is about 70% dry. After diffusing I remove the diffuse attachment, stretch my hair down with one hand and blowdry downwards (this helps lengthen the hair. My unstretched hair is brushing my shoulders). During the week I'll add a small amount of gel to any curls that start frizzing.\n\nSleep:\n\nPut my hair in a ponytail using a loose scrunchie. Add satin scrunchies down the length if my hair to keep the length and minimize frizzing and volume (because I dont like voluminous hair). I leave my bangs out.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_1t10ia0", "text": "I had a hair cut two days ago. I changed nothing from my routine, the only difference was the cut!  The first picture was taken on a really good curl day, pre-cut. The second is after the cut. No length taken off during the cut, just layers and texturing the ends of the upper layers.  \n\nThe texturing prevented the \"shelf\" look that I'm always so afraid of when I ask for layers. My hairdresser was awesome, she showed me part way thru that a shelf was appearing, and told me she was going to blend it out by texturing the ends of the shorter pieces. She talked thru everything she was doing and genuinely seemed to love cutting curly hair. It was a really good experience. \n\nI'm 40 and I've never gotten the top layer to curl before. I was resigned to thinking my top layer was actually straight. My hair is baby-fine, so I think conditions have to be perfect for it to curl. So happy, never thought I'd see the day! \n\n.......\n\nRoutine: shampoo with Aussie Wavy.  Scrub scalp only, and let the shampoo hit my ends only when I rinse it. Then I free the top layer of curls by lifting individual strands away from my head with my fingers then setting them down. \n\nCondition with Aussie Wavy conditioner. I spread it on my fingers then rake them thru lower half of the strands (basically anything below where it could touch my scalp). Gently rinse out while rakiing fingers through it to keep the layers sitting where I arranged them during the shampoo step. I dont re-wet my whole head when rinsing out the conditioner, only the lower half where I applied it. Then I loosen up the hair a bit by raking and shaking my fingers simultaneously. \n\nDry: plop on a hand towel that I secure shut at the back of my head with a scrunchie. I don't twist the towel at all or the curls stretch out flat. After 5 minutes remove the towel, arrange the curls by raking/ shaking my fingers again. \n\nStyle: rake small amount of Tresemme Flawless Curls mousse immediately after towel drying. Rearrange the top layer once more and finger curl any spots that aren't clumping. \n\nAirdry without touching. It only takes maybe 45 minutes to dry, even whem in clumps.

Also showing it in the bun that I like to wear.\n\nPhoto 5: The other day. Styled my hair, but you can see how dry and wispy it can look.\n\nPhotos 6, 7(\ud83d\ude1b): Hair without products or styling, air dried. VERY soft and fine and loose waves, but the next day without products, it is nearly straight, and very flat and limp, hence why I need to often style with gel.\n\nPhoto 8: Another day without products\u2026 you can see how thin my ends are. I hate how I can see my back THROUGH my hair!!!\n\nPhoto 9: An example styled of how curly my hair can get at this length when styled well, but also the thinness of the ends. \n\nPhotos 10, 11, 12: Hair when it was short with choppy layers. I loved the bounce, fullness and curl. I feel it looks healthiest here, ans maybe I could have done more style wise (updos with small claw clips, etc? at the time to scratch the itch I have to put it up lol)\n\nPhoto 13: Kind of in between. Grown out from the short hair of the previous photos, but still not even touching my shoulders. Love this length also. \n\nHonestly, I\u2019m just very tired of attempting to grow my hair out and I\u2019m about to give up, book a hair appointment, and get it cut back to a short bob. I LOVED my short bob, anywhere between chin length to just above shoulders, my hair is curly, bouncy and full. I\u2019ve been attempting to grow my hair out for a year or so at this point, with 2-3 small trims in 2025. But as its gotten to collar length, it just gets SO wispy. My hair doesn\u2019t curl like it did, and even good hair days are mainly flocked with rough ones. My ends get thin and wispy no matter what, I hate that I can see through them. My hair grows very slow, and I\u2019m starting to wonder if this is even worth it. Sure, I love the look of long wavy hair, but even if I get there, it won\u2019t be thick and lucsious. I\u2019m already getting frustrated with the increased need for product, upkeep, how dry it gets, and the main things tethering me to keep on trying is the idea that I just need to \u201cpush through\u201d the wispiness at this length so the fuller hair can catch up, AND that I love that I can put it in a messy updo finally\u2026 but again, is it worth it if I end up crying at how thin it looks most days? My hair has looked visually very much similar over the last year despite growth, you can go back and check my post from a bunch of months ago. \n\nI guess I\u2019m just asking, does this even seem worth it for me? I was happier with short hair, but I also yearn for long hair, but frankly, I KNOW its a huge time commitment, energy commitment, etc etc that maybe I just don\u2019t have.

Although im very excited to be a first-time mom I\u2019m nervous for how to maintain my hair. \n\nBackground: I have mostly 2C hair with some 2B and 3A thrown in. The ends are a little straight from a few rounds of Brazilian Blowouts I did before I got married in Jan 2023, but it\u2019s mostly cut out now. My hair is pretty fine but I have a good amount of it. \n\nProblem: I don\u2019t want to rely too much on slicked back buns and ponytails bc that\u2019s just a different headache. I\u2019m not opposed to heat styling, but blowing it out every few days doesn\u2019t seem like a great option either. Any advice here or should I just accept that my hair health will decline postpartum one way or another? I considered doing keratin treatments but I\u2019ve just never had a good experience with chemical treatments in my lifetime and always regret getting them done. My roots are super flat when I air dry. I\u2019ve tried volume mousses and root clipping and just tend to get wonky roots from the clips. The volume mousses only helps when I diffuse upside down. \n\nAll that considered, any tips or product recs that are good for a quick wash day? My curly hair routine genuinely takes at least 1 hour and then a full refresh daily if I don\u2019t rewash it which doesn\u2019t seem feasible with newborns. My hair just tends to get really frizzy and looks the best on wash day then continues to decline from there into limp and stringy waves. \nIdeally, I would want to find a routine now that\u2019s relatively low maintenance and looks good air dried. Any advice, tips, or product recs here? Or is my hair/appearance realistically just going to take a backseat for some time? \n\nThanks ", "author": "anon_03ef550e", "created_utc": 1738107455, "created_iso": "2025-01-28T23:37:35Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/curlyhair/comments/1icfvp3/first_time_mom_hair_tipsadvice/", "community": "curlyhair", "score": 1, "parent_id": null, "title": "First Time Mom Hair Tips/Advice", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "_topics", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:58:50Z"}

Mousse, gel, plopping, etc etc.\nSo I thought I'd share a simple routine that's worked for me! I've tried to go au naturel in the past with no success. I've been at it this time for about 5 months. \n\n- Shampoo: Davines Love Curl Shampoo\n- Conditioner: Davines Oi Conditioner (I part my hair with a wide tooth comb when rinsing and scrunch to induce clumps)\n- Flip hair over and wrap in towel (gently) for a few minutes so it's not sopping wet.\n-Praying hands method to work in Kevin Murphy Motion Lotion (just got this and started using it but so far I like it).\n-Then I just hover diffuse and scrunch my hair as I go. That might cause frizz for some but it seems to work reasonably well for me. Sometimes I'll put claw clips on my part to get some lift at the roots. Works like a charm!\n\nI'm not blessed with curls that have any sort of staying power and gel weighs my hair down that it looks limp and unwashed at the end of the day. So in the mornings I just dampen my hair with a spray bottle, run my hands down it to calm any frizz, then re-scrunch and air dry.\n\nThe photos are second day hair at the end of the day. Bit of frizz as you can see but my hair is weighed down easily so that's the trade off!\nIt's not perfect but this is the best my natural curls have ever looked \ud83d\ude05\n\nAlso if anyone can see if I'm in need of protein or moisture from the photos, I'd be happy for the feedback.

Even when I have a great wash day, I\u2019m still getting relatively straight pieces on the bottom portion of my hair and I\u2019m trying to figure out what I need to do to fix it. As you can see these two pieces are literally next to each other, and I can\u2019t figure out why one is spiraling and the other is completely straight. I do my best to make sure that my products are fully saturated through my entire head. \n\n**This picture is on day 4 post-wash so the pieces are starting to get a little bit stringy but neither of them have really changed all that much since wash day in terms of hold. Should I maybe be treating the bottom/outer layer of my hair differently than I do the rest of my hair? Have any of you done this?\n\nMy routine is: \n1. Wash with Prose shampoo\n2. Flip head upside down and squish-to-condish with Prose conditioner.\n3. Add about a dime size of Prose curl cream focusing mainly on the lower layers closest to my neck as that\u2019s the driest area. \n4. Plop in a microfiber towel for 5 to 10 minutes.\n5. If any of my hair is too dry at that point and no longer squishes when I scrunch, I add more water with a spray bottle.\n6. Section and begin adding Prose gel throughout my lower sections moving toward the top and then I brush style with the Bounce Curl volume edge lift brush. \n7. Once I finish brush styling, I flip my head upside down and re-scrunch my hair with a microfiber towel to remove some of the wetness as my hair holds a lot of water and if I don\u2019t do this, it takes forever to dry.\n8. Spray entire head with alcohol- free hairspray.\n9. Then I flip my head upside down and begin pixie diffusing on medium heat. This takes me about 25 to 30 minutes. \n10. I diffuse until about 95% dry, put in some root clips and hang out with my hair until it\u2019s fully dry for an hour or two. After that, I flip my head upside down and scrunch out the crunch. \n\nInevitably, I always have these weird spots that are literally next to each other. I\u2019ll have one that spirals in its normal pattern and the one directly next to it is fully straight with barely any wave. I realize that curl patterns can vary throughout the head, but can they literally vary from one curl to the next? Or is there something in my process that I\u2019m doing or not doing that might be causing this?\n\nI have super sensitive skin (the redness on my neck is a perfect example of the problems I have when exposed to certain ingredients) and can\u2019t use anything with limonene or Linalool which stinks because most curly products have those ingredients in it. Fragrance is also completely a no no for me so that\u2019s why I\u2019ve been primarily sticking with Prose since I can request those ingredients to not be in my products.\n\nEvery few weeks I use Curlsmith Bond curl rehab salve as well as clarify my hair with Olaplex *4. \n\nHappy to fill in any gaps/answer questions if that helps.

A particular hair treatment? Again, it's not a matter of my hair thinning, just that it breaks or falls out before I get much growth. \n\nMy Routine: \n\n* I have 2c, low-medium porosity hair. The texture feels dry and coarse, never shiny or soft. \n* I've been using the CGM for about a decade and avoid silicones in products at all costs. \n* Additionally, I take prenatal vitamins and iron supplements.\n* Sometimes I steam-treat my hair to help it absorb conditioner. \n* And use a boar's hair comb. \n* I wash 1-2x/week and use a shampoo for my scalp (psoriasis) containing pyrithione zinc--it's the best one I've found that doesn't completely strip my hair. \n* I use clips, generally, rather than hair ties to avoid breakage (though I think that's moot). \n* I sleep on a silk pillow and use a satin bonnet. \n\n\n\n  \n", "author": "anon_ffb04b88", "created_utc": 1723910630, "created_iso": "2024-08-17T16:03:50Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/curlyhair/comments/1eul6e5/hair_never_stops_breaking_help/", "community": "curlyhair", "score": 1, "parent_id": null, "title": "Hair never stops breaking, help!", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "_topics", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:58:50Z"}

It\u2019s actually very simple and easy.\n\nThe secret key is to leave your hair alone and  **HYDRATION.**\n\nDon\u2019t bleach it, don\u2019t dye it, don\u2019t straighten it, don\u2019t over wash it, don\u2019t under wash it, don't use scrunchies and grip claws that damage and break your hair. Be gentle. \n\n**Curly hair must always be brushed only when wet. Do not brush your hair when it is dry. Please. This will damage your curls and hair shaft.** \n\nMy Hair Tips + Routine. \n\n1. Use the correct brushes. But really just please brush your hair gently no matter what brush you use.  I do have a few different brushes that I use that I think all have their different pros.\n\n2.   Wooden brushes - I like to use this brush when my hair is straight on dry hair. \n\n3. Boar bristle brushes - Have compact bristles which I think is good for styling. I put leave in conditioner on a selection of wet hair brush it and then curl my hair around my fingers and slowly uncurl it down. \n\n4. A wet brush for the shower, that is open and does not have a pillow like boar bristles and wooden brushes. These can dry quickly  and won't have mould grow inside the cushion if kept in the shower. Remember this is all about minimising breakage.  \n\n5. I stay away from anything plastic, plastic claw clips that pull and tug on your hair. Hair bands that are thin and have the metal on them. I use scrunchies as they are gentle.  Satin, silk or velvet.\n\n6. Use heat protection if you straighten your hair, blow outs or use a diffuser ,  finish it off by adding a light oil to the ends of your hair to keep it hydrated. But of course stay away from heat as much as you can. Whenever I  straighten my hair and wash day arrives,  I ALWAYS deep condition my hair with a conditioner mask or coconut oil for an hour. I have a heated cap that helps warm my hair and scalp to deep condition. Deep conditioning is amazing and a must for hydrated ends. Hydration! Hydration! Hydration! And I try not to straighten it again for another month or so. (It\u2019s a struggle and I can relapse) \n\n7. After washing I use a Brazilian curly hair leave in conditioner that I use to style my hair. I have put a picture up. After I diffuse , I apply oil to the ends of my hair. and again before bed.\n\n8. Keep your scalp clean. A lot of people say not to wash your hair frequently and leave it without washing, which I see why. Your hair is at its most fragile state when wet. Also when you style and curl your hair you can break and damage the hair shaft by pulling and tugging.  But I do think that  it\u2019s important to have a clean scalp. I try to keep a style for 2 days without washing. When I\u2019m ready to restyle I just wet it and reapply the Brazilian cream.  - this again can cause product build up so I wash properly after 2.\n\n10. ALWAYS brush from the ends up.\n\n11. I am still figuring out a sleep routine and how to protect my hair when I sleep but I found that putting your hair in a bonnet loose works well. Again what works for you. \n\nI  also want to put a huge emphasis on **BRAZILIAN CURLY HAIR PRODUCTS** ! Majority of Brazilian women have beautiful long curly hair.

I am from latin American / brazilian heritage and this is what worked for my hair personally.\n\nFor the majority of my teenage years up until 21 years of age I straightened my hair everyday. People I knew for years didn\u2019t even know I had curly hair. During lockdown I decided it was time to grow my hair to tailbone length and stop straightening my hair. \n\nSo this reddit post is 4 years of up and down, back and forth progression of my hair growth and health.\n\nBefore Covid my hair was really really struggling. In image 1 as you can see my hair is very short. You can't see the Split ends, breakage and dehydration but it felt like straw and it was **really** bad. \n\nWhat I've learnt is that curly hair is tricky to manage. It takes **patience, time, tenderness, love and care**. \n\nCurly hair is so beautiful, and I wish I took better care of it growing up. I never felt pretty or beautiful with my curly hair but now I'm 25 and think who cares! This is me at my natural state, it's who I am.\n\nI\u2019m still a long way to my desired length but I have made significant changes to my hair routine and care that all I have to do now is just let it grow.\n\nAs I said taking care of curly hair can be time consuming, and it requires patience. But growing hair is not hard. It\u2019s actually very simple and easy.\n\nThe secret key is to leave your hair alone.\n\nDon\u2019t bleach it, don\u2019t dye it, don\u2019t straighten it, don\u2019t over wash it, don\u2019t under wash it, don't use scrunchies and grip claws that damage and break your hair. Be gentle.  \n\nThe secret to healthy hair is  **HYDRATION.**\n\n**Curly hair must always be brushed only when wet. Do not brush your hair when it is dry. Please. This will damage your curls and hair shaft.** \n\nMy Hair Tips:\n\n1. Use the correct brushes. But really just please brush your hair gently no matter what brush you have.  But I do have a few different brushes that I use that I think all have their different pros.\n2.   Wooden brushes - I like to brush when my hair is straight on dry hair. \n3. Boar bristle brushes - Have compact bristles which I think is good for styling. I place leave in conditioner on a selection of hair brush it and then curl my hair around my fingers and slowly uncurl it down. \n4. A wet brush for the shower, that is open and doses have a pillow like boar bristles and wooden brushed. These can dry quickly  and won't have mould grow inside the cushion if kept in the shower. Remember this is all about minimising breakage.  \n5. I stay away from anything plastic, plastic claw clips that pull and tug on your hair. Hair bands that are thin and have the metal on them. I use scrunchies as they are gentle.  Satin, silk or velvet.\n6. Use heat protection if you straighten your hair, blow outs or use a diffuser ,  finish it off by adding a light oil to the ends of your hair to keep it hydrated. But of course stay away from heat. Whenever I  straighten my hair and wash day arrives,  I ALWAYS deep condition my hair with a conditioner mask or coconut oil for an hour. I have a heated cap that helps warm my hair and scalp to deep condition. Deep conditioning is amazing and a must for hydrated ends. Remember Hydration! Hydration! Hydration! And I try not to straighten it again for another month or so. (It\u2019s a struggle)\n7. Use scrunchies for minimising damage.Satin, silk or velvet.\n8. After washing I use a Brazilian curly hair leave in conditioner that I use to style my hair. I have put a picture up. After I diffuse , I apply oil to the ends of my hair. and again before bed.\n9. Keep your scalp clean. A lot of people say not to wash your hair frequently and leave it without washing, which I understand why. Your hair is at its most fragile state when wet. Also when you style and curly your hair you can break and damage the hair shaft by pulling and tugging.  But I do think that  it\u2019s important to have a clean scalp. I try to keep a style for 2 days without washing or making my hair wet but dosent always work and I need to wet it and I dont necessarily wash it. I just wet it and apply conditioner - but this again can build product build up so wash properly after 2/3 days.\n10. ALWAYS brush from the ends up.\n11. I am still figuring out a sleep routine and how to protect my hair when I sleep but I found that putting your hair in a bonnet loose works well. Again what works for you. \n\nI  also want to put a huge emphasis on **BRAZILIAN CURLY HAIR PRODUCTS** ! Majority of Brazilian women have beautiful long curly hair. I promise you! this is someone thing a lot pf people miss. Research into the best brazilian curly hair products. I have added an image of which one I use. \n\nPictures.\n\n1.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_181ihb7", "text": "Hey :)   \n\n\nSo before I start with the explanation I post 2 photos. Both are the same angle but one is more of a close up.   \n\n\n&#x200B;\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/blhu6fc88y1c1.jpg?width=576&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1895ce4e73ea0e6514a6cff22863f61884536ece\n\n&#x200B;\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/4v0qp59b8y1c1.jpg?width=576&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5562198d9ecfb4e3898bfb34c6e541cc2b92fdbc\n\nBoth are from today. Washed them this morning and currently I am wearing them up either in a pony tail or in a bun. Both with either silk hairbands or recently with \"butterfly\" hair clips without any metal, for example invisible bobble (before that I had those typical ones with a metal spring in it). I also visited a hair dresser last week who trimmed my ends, according to her about 1 cm had to go which is fine for me, visited a hair dresser like 4+ months ago.   \n\n\nI usually dye my hair in the lightest/brightest copper tone I can achieve with my natural hair color and 2  times in a year at max! (I do it at a hair dresser).   \nI also hear that my hair is fine  I have a lot of it.   \n\n\nin my opinion my hair looks dry, a reason why I try to use hydration instead of protein, but the last time I asked someone about their opinion and description of my hair they told me I have high porosity and lack of protein, You can read my description down below.   \n\n\nWhen I have a strand it won't stretch before it breaks and for me I have this information: \n\nToo much Hydration: It will stretch before breaking  \nBreaking Immediately without a little of stretch: Protein loss  \n\\>> We should go for something between that.   \n\n\nMy hair apparently feels dry quite fast, when I towel dried it before styling (only squishing the water out instead of rubbing) and have to reapply some water while styling it.  \n\n\nMy Products:\n\nShampoo  with Balea Plex Care (german drugstore)   \nConditioner: Balea Plex Care or  Curl Flo Lemongrass & Avocado Conditioner  \nLeave In: Ecoslay Lemon Buttercream   \nGel: Innersense Organic \"I create hold\"   \nDeep Condition (I try to do it every week, but sometimes I only get to like every 2 weeks):   \nCurlsmith Rehab Salve. Have that on for approx. 30mins\n\nGot told to add some protein drops sometimes in my products. Which is Chey x Lockenbox \"Must Have Protein drops\" like 2-3 drops.  \nAlso got the curlsmith bonding oil but think about buying the Olaplex one.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nMy Routine:   \nI flip my hair over my head when I wet it, So I can cleanse my head better.   \nWhen washed out I slightly squeeze the water out before conditioning (approx size of a walnut)  \nuse the \"praying hands\" method (still over my head) and rake through it afterwards with my hand.   \nAfter that I brush it.   \n\n\nFlip my head upwards again, do the rest of my body and then wash it out (normally) I try to do it with not cold but also not hot water.\n\nSquish the water out of my hair, then put a towel around it and squish it again.   \nBrush through it, so It isnt tangled anymore, apply some water, then conditioner (same method like in the shower but a smaller potion) Then I add the gel like 2 pumps, praying hand method from the mid to my roots. Squish my hair upwards a few times to create some curls.  \nLet it either hair dry it or use a hair blower on the lowest heat+speed. \n\nWhen using a hair dryer I only hover it at first, and then plop it (?).   \n\n\nWhen dry I add my hair oil, also like 2-3 drops focus on the ends but also add it on the lengths (but not roots)  \n\n\nSome extra information which might be needed:   \nWhen I cleansed my roots they always have that squeaking sound (Can't tell if its good or bad)\n\n  \n\\>When I used shampoo for the \"Curly Girl Method\" I had some problems with itchyness, and also have dandruff from time to time but I guess its both the result of build up (?) and only see them falling onto my shoulders when scratching it due to the itchyness. \n\nRecently I Also use hair oil before I go to sleep+ because of a new piercing (helix) I wear it in a bun on the top otherwise I have a silk bonnet (but I kinda think its too big for me 'cuz the top always flops back and forth, already bought a new one though)   \nAlso got silk pillowcases.  \n\n\n I would like to grow it a bit longer, currently when its on the back its somewhere between my shoulder blades, when put at the front its about breast length.   \nMy dream length would be if it could go beneath my breasts, which would be around my waist, I guess (?). Currently they are the longest they have ever been.   \n\n\nI hope I didn't write too much, wanted to give you the best information I have and everything regarding my hair.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_17w023e", "text": "Since a little before the pandemic, I've been getting my 3a/b curly hair highlighted at a local Aveda school, and have had good experiences (haircuts are a different story, so I generally skip those services at the school).\n\nLast night, I had an appointment to get a full highlight as it's been about 5 months since my last touch up and my roots were horrendous. As has become somewhat standard practice for me, I straightened my hair before my appointment so they wouldn't have to deal with tangles, and I gave her a heads up when I sat down that my hair is naturally curly, along with my normal warning that my scalp puts out a lot of heat so I lift pretty quick. She was laying foils and things were fine, but she was very very quiet - not rude, just no small talk. I wasn't bothered because I'd had a long day, so I was dinking around on my phone. \n\nWhen she started taking out the second section of foils (she was effectively taking out the previous section as she finished the next one, if that makes sense), I noticed she was really having to yank to get the foils out, and as one hit the floor realized she was only unfolding the sides so my hair was essentially folded in half twice and all bleach matted. After pulling the foils (again, HARD), she'd spray it with water and pull a towel down the length to stop it processing further. Somehow, the towel pull was even harder. I don't have a particularly tender scalp and have been getting highlights for 20 years, but my god, it HURT. It was also at this point that I started to get overwhelmed and panicked, and I effectively shut down.\n\nShe continued this way, getting resistance from my hair when pulling foils and just pulling harder rather than unfolding, through the rest of the service. At one point, she was trying to section out some hair that was caught on a corner of one of the foils below, and rather than use a comb, she was PICKING it out with one of the metal alligator clips. My hair was getting caught in the hinge and ultimately ripping out a few strands at a time, and she'd just pick the hair out of the clip, drop it, and then continue picking at it. I was in absolute agony by this point, and still completely frozen and unable to say anything. Whole working on the front of my head, she was leaning her entire weigh on whatever of my legs was closest (I'm just shy of 6'0\", so my legs hang off the chair quite a bit). Again, no discussion. \n\nAfter 3 1/2 hours of this, she was super aggressive at the shampoo bowl, and I was in horrible pain. The shampoo and scalp massage is always the best part of getting my hair done, and I was so stressed I wanted to vomit.\n\nBack at the chair, she slapped some product into my hair - no idea what - and when running into knots would just pull, rather than attempting to detangle. I was literally watching small clumps of my hair hit the ground as she ripped them out. Without asking how I wanted my hair finished, she started aggressively combining through with a blow dryer with one of the concentrator nozzle attachments with a wide tooth comb on the end, until someone told her to rough dry it instead because it'd cut her drying time. Someone came over to help her, and they both went at yanking at my hair with round brushes and without (I'm assuming) any kind of smoothing product. I was just staring at the floor by this point, absolutely embarrassed that I hadn't stood up for myself, and in a ridiculous amount of pain. My hair had pulled warm to the point of being orange in spots, and I was just told I'd need to come back within the next two weeks to let the same stylist re-tone me. \n\nOnce I got, I basically collapsed and had an absolute meltdown. I told my partner the closest description I could come up with was that I felt like I'd been assaulted. I feel so ridiculous for not standing up for myself, but I legitimately froze up. My scalp avovey widows peak is burnt and swollen, and I cried washing my hair this morning because my scalp is so  sore. Photos are of how my hair looked pre-salon, and how I left. \n\nI guess this is part vent, and part looking for commiseration?

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_ztubpv", "text": "So I'm not sure yet on how curly my hair will be in the future since with every refresh it gets coilier, but this is how it might help you get nice curls too.\nAs a backstory, I have always knew I had wavy-curly hair, but I never knew how to make it stay like that because 2 days after washing it would go straight. My aunt managed to style it, my stylist too, but I never could. I watched curly girl method videos, I tried getting a sulphate free shampoo, and tried many things over all, but never succeeded. So one day I figured out: if all these aunties can do it, I can do it too without trying so hard.\nThis is what I've discovered so far:\n1. You actually just need a lot of hair mousse. It doesn't really matter what brand, just mousse. Use it on wet hair, almost damp. Use plenty.\n\n2. If your hair tends to go flat after one or 2 days even with mousse, just spray some water in it and scrunch. It will get its shape back. Sometimes you will need to reapply both water and mousse and scrunch it (I wash my hair once a week or every 2 weeks). You will also notice that because of using product, your hair won't get greasy as easily as it used to.\n\n3. Don't worry if your curls aren't very defined the first few times, it takes some time for your hair to adjust to staying in this shape. It's like changing your hair part and taking it a few washes for it to completely set.\n\n4. It doesn't really matter what you use when washing your hair. Just keep using what worked best for you until now. It doesn't have to be something expensive or fancy. \n\n5. You dont necessarily need a difuser, but it will make it easier for you. You can just keep scrunching your hair while blow drying your hair.\n\n6. If you have looser curls like I do, I recommend you training your hair so it gets greasy harder. So try washing it less and less. This will help you spending less time on your hair but make it quality time.\nFor example, it usually takes me about 1 hour- 1 hour and a half to prepare my hair after washing it. Because I completely dry it and since I dont have a difuser I have to keep scrunching it and moving my hair around so that I have both volume and curls. So I spend around 2 hours on my hair in total, because refreshing it with mousse and water every now and then takes a few minutes.\n\n7. If you feel like you lack volume at the roots, try using hair clips and drying it in an upwards position. The hair will be a little flatter after a day but this will help with how it looks the entire week.\n\n\nI really hope this helped everyone who can't get it right and likes simple routines. \ud83d\udc97", "author": "anon_adb4a632", "created_utc": 1671833984, "created_iso": "2022-12-23T22:19:44Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/curlyhair/comments/ztubpv/curls_for_dummies_like_me_i_finally_cracked_the/", "community": "curlyhair", "score": 9, "parent_id": null, "title": "curls for dummies like me- I finally cracked the code and here's what might help you too", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "_topics", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:58:50Z"}

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_1mwudca", "text": "Hey all. This is half rant, half plea for advice.\n\nWhen I'm not wearing my hair down, my go to is a high bun on top of my head, pineapple style. \n\nDon't get me wrong, I love the high bun. The high bun has been good to me. The high bun doesn't judge my lack of hair skill. The high bun does what I need it to do and doesn't complain. \n\nBut it's literally ALL I CAN MANAGE TO DO and I just feel like I need to give my bestie high bun a break, for both of our sakes. \n\nI wear my hair down as long as I can after each wash, but by day 4 (sometimes day 3 if it's been a rough week, sometimes day 5 or 6 if the curly gods have blessed me) it's time to go up. \n\nI have medium-ish hair, maybe an inch or so past my collar bone. One problem is, my hair is very layered. Even the bottom section is layered, because the bottom of my hair has a different pattern and texture, and the layer at the base of my head is ridiculously straighter than the rest of my hair, so my stylist cuts it shorter so it doesn't hang past curly parts when I wear it down. \n\nAnother problem is, I do not look good in half-up half-down styles. They do not suit my face shape. I have a rounder face, it is what it is. Do I look hideous in them? No. Do they suit me? Harder no. \n\nI have a ridiculous amount of 1\"-2\" baby hairs that do what they want, and I've never mastered slicking them back nicely, so they just do what they want when they want. \n\nI'm inept at hairstyling, from a combination of growing up with a parent who had no idea what to do and told me to just brush it and put it in a bun or ponytail, and ADHD which makes it hard to spend the amount of time required to master more difficult styles. \n\nI don't have a lot of hair accessories that I see people using in tutorials. I have bobby pins, a variety of hair ties, large claw clips, and that's about it. \n\nI can do a basic 3 strand braid, and a passable fishtail braid, but my layers make both of these not workable, in my experience.\n\nEvery tutorial I find that looks manageable for my skill and supplies is either half-up half-down or the same pineapple-esque bun I'm already doing, except they have the \"money pieces\" that really make the looks, whereas I have wonky baby hair fly away pieces or scraggly weirdly long strands I try to coax into money pieces and end up looking...not great. \n\nEven claw clip styles don't seem to work right, either because of the layers or because of my halo of baby pieces.   \n\nI don't know if there's any advice or suggestions or styles y'all have found that might work for my frustrating situation, but if anyone knows an EASY, SIMPLE, BEGINNER FRIENDLY style that doesn't require more than the basic supplies of bobby pins, assorted hair ties, and large claw clips -- help a girl out? \n\nThis post might just be me shouting into the void in utter frustration, but after spending the past two hours trying and failing various styles that aren't my old faithful top-of-my-head-pineappleesque-bun, I just needed to rant about it and see if there was any help to be had. \n\nRoutine: \n\nWash hair once a week approximately.\n\nAlternate different shampoos, sometimes a random TJ Maxx find, sometimes olaplex (have been moving away from it lately) various clarifying shampoos at least once or twice a month.  \n\nAlternate different conditioners, sometimes olaplex, sometimes a conditioning hair mask, sometimes a random TJ Maxx find. Sometimes I skip the conditioner entirely after I saw someone here suggest that, and my hair actually loves it, I'm just not brave enough to skip it more than once every couple of washes. \n\nProducts are The Doux Mousse Def, and Evo Gangsta Grip gel (or rather, bonding resin). Finish with a light, light mist if hair spray. \n\nEither air dry completely, or air dry for a short time and then diffuse until 75-80% dry. Scrunch out the crunch once fully dry. \n\nPineapple to sleep with a silk scrunchy, on a silk pillowcase.

Just wanted to share my hair Victory!\n\nOver the past year and a half, I have found some holy grail products, a go to DIY hair cut, and developed a routine that works for me and my hair, and I am incredibly happy with the consistent and long lasting results I've been able to achieve!\n\nI was fairly happy with my hair before, but my results were inconsistent, and my good wash/hair day curls would only look good for 1 or 2 days, and loose definition, be incredibly frizzy or limp, and because of that I rarely wore my hair down, it was always in a bun. Now I have it down most days, and I can reliably get my hair to day 4 or later, sometimes all the way to wash day!\n\nI'm far from being an expert, but wanted to share my fave things in case anyone finds it helpful or wants to try some of the things!\n\nDIY Haircut:\n [The Waterfall Wolf Cut ](https://youtu.be/PHjlHrFVuao?si=MpYwF8ZzJdrEtzdE)\nI love this cut by Curl Maven, I do a modified version of it now with bangs. For them I follow some tips from Manes By Mel, I section a triangle from my eyebrow area and do a itty bitty unicorn ponytail, then blend in with the other layers. I do \"edits\" over the first week or so seeing how the hair is curling. \n\nTools: \nScissors - any actual hair cutting scissors. I use 6.5\" Equinox ones.\nBounce Curl Brush - this was life changing for me!\nThe Perfect Haircare microfiber Towel - These feel like a  giant version of those glass cleaning cloths\nDiffuser - I have a basic Remington hairdryer that came with one. Not the best, but dries fast.\nHair clip or alligator clip, hair ties\nOctopus Detangling bush - I don't know if this is the best, but I don't get breakage with it.\n\nCleansing products:\nRegular - Dove Bond Repair shampoo and conditioner\nClarifying - Garnier Pure Clean Clarifying shampoo (I do this once a month or if my hair is behaving differently or feeling rough/frizzy)\n\nStyling products:\nCantu Curl Activator Cream - the shea butter one, my hair loves that stuff\nOuidad Advanced Climate Control Gel (Red Label) - Holy grail!\n+ whatever heat protectant I'm using up/testing\n\nWash Day Routine (this takes me about 1 hour to do): \nI usually wash my hair once a week.\n1. Wet hair and detangle in the shower with conditioner. Split hair in the middle on each side of the head, start from the bottom/ends and brush into my palm. Add more conditioner as needed. \n2. Shampoo twice. If clarifying, sometimes I do both with that or once with the regular shampoo afterwards.\n3. Condition, apply to each half, let sit as I do other shower things. Rinse.\n4. Scrunch hair to take out excess water, still leave it dripping a tiny bit. Grab hair towel and drape it over shoulders under my hair.\n5. Apply curl cream. I like to split/section hair in halfs here too. Rub my hands together with product, I try to start with less and focus on the rougher areas of my hair, which tends to be the back crown. Grab a little more to apply on the rest of the hair. Brush through hair to distribute product. (This part takes some practice and trial and error. I don't mind having my hair a bit heavy on the first day, which happens sometimes if I get carried away in this step. It usually just means my hair will be a bit tamer and have less volume for the first day or 2)\n7. Apply gel and heat protectant in the same way as above and brush through. \n8. Section hair from around the ears below, brush style this section, by dividing it into smaller sections, about brush width, and maybe an inch thick?  I eyeball it but try to keep the smaller sections not too thick to maintain volume.\n9. Section middle of the head/back area, leaving the sides in the front of the ear and top/crown and bangs for last. I twist and put what I can out of the way.  Style same way as above.\n10. With the rest of the hair, I section the back top crown and style it to the back, then do the sides, leaving a squareish shape on the top and bangs area.\n11. For bangs I section the bottom closest to my face and brush style it forward, over my hand. Grab another slice further back and do the same a couple of times. \n12. Turn head upside down and hover diffuse until hair starts feeling crispy, focusing first on the bangs then start scrunch diffusing into my head. This part takes about 20 minutes?\n\n\nSleep: \nI have a satin bonnet but don't tend to wear it. I have a satin pillowcase and prefer to splay out my hair on it, or have it in a pineapple (flat hair clip or satin scrunchie)\n \nRefresh:\nVery minimal, I sometimes put some water and gel on curls that get wonky but that is rare. Most days I shake it out at the roots in the morning, and that's it.\n\n----\n\nHope that helps, let me know if you have any questions or even tips!

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_2n1iyk", "text": "Hello everyone! This will probably be a big post as I'm on the verbose side; pologies.\n\nI'm 23, graduating college this year (film acting, but I get to do all the other jobs too), and in the last year and a half or so I've become incredibly interested in cultivating my own style, and a wardrobe to match. I haven't cared about my appearance for a long time, other than 'is this clean' 'is this ripped' 'oh I like this specific outfit, let me wear it for weeks on end' (that last one was common for me from 13-15, and occasionally now as well)\n\nUnfortunately, I'm pretty lazy. I was a bit lazy before but in 2011 I had knee surgery and was limited to lounging about in bed doing nothing for about two weeks, and since then if I don't actively make myself do something I will laze around like a cat. As such, I'm pretty simple in the hair and makeup and clothing care departments.\n\nMakeup: I rarely wear makeup on a day-to-day. Reason: I like that extra 5-10-15 mins of sleep/internetting/not putting on makeup. I also like the people I interact with thinking of my blank face as my 'normal' face, so that any time I do put makeup on it it becomes an adding. I've had friends who wear makeup all the time, and the few days they go completely without they get a lot of comments of \"Are you sick? You look different.\"\n\nMakeup I do wear: eyeliner, occasionally mascara, occasionally eye shadow, lipstick, occasionally lipgloss (usually over a matte lip color; I like mixing), rarely perfume, (almost) never nail polish (I don't enjoy it). I wear foundation sometimes to help with a character for a film shoot, but I don't wear it often and I don't really know what I'm doing with it. I usually apply my eyeshadow with my fingertips, as I like a smokey look (and that's really the only look I can successfully complete). Eyeliner: I line the top lids, right at the wet line (is that what it's called? Underneath the lashes) and also above the lashes, I have a teeeeeensy wing, and will line at the wet line halfway along my bottom lids. I don't have any lip liner but I really ought to get some as I have had problems with colour bleeding. I like the idea of a signature scent but I work at Starbucks and know several people with sensitivity to scents, so oftentimes I feel it would be too much hassle.\n\nHair: I keep it down maybe one or two days a week, and really only after I've washed it. It's fine, and thick, and getting long (hitting my shoulder blades at least) and it flies into my hair if not held back. Or, I'll start playing with it, and it'll get dirty faster and look not very nice. My favourite hairstyles are: pulled half up, in a mini ponytail or a clip; one big clip holding all of it up in the back; the [Adele side bun](http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/f5/25/33/f525337baba0caf6f062a54a07a569d6.jpg), though I haven't worn that one for a while as it takes a bit of time, especially now that I'm using a doughnut sponge instead of a sock; side pony, especially when braided; [messy braided pigtails](http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/9d/f0/bf/9df0bf492be09f4b1f60c1732f50a579.jpg); and I've never done it yet but the [Gibson tuck](http://www.saralynnpaige.com/style/simple-gibson-tuck/) looks like it'd suit me super well. I like my hair parted to my left side, directly above the arch of my eyebrow or deeper. If my hair is pulled all the way back I feel like I look like my sister, and while she's a lovely gal she's not exactly my style inspiration haha.\n\nClothing Care: Wash, dry, and fold/hang up. This is the first year where I've had a large enough closet to almost hang everything up, which is honestly what I prefer as it's faster. As I said, I'm extremely lazy. I have a few wool blend/beaded fancy shirts that I wash and then lay flat on a towel to dry, as my mum taught me. But she's not into high fashion or extreme garment care, so other than that I didn't learn a lot from her (sorting colours, yes, I know that, but I wash everything in cold and have hardly any whites/creams that could get ruined, so I've been washing all my clothes together for a few years now, with no mishaps).\n\nMy lifestyle at the moment:\n\nCurrently I'm going to school, as I said, and I work full-time at Starbucks as a barista/shift supervisor. School this year is basically a field placement, where I earn credits for writing scripts and shooting films. My career after school will continue like this, with more auditions (for theatre as well as film). Starbucks dress code: white or black top with a polo collar; black or tan pants or skirt with footed tights; black or tan shoes, no open toes, no denim or similar fabric. Hair pulled back and off the shoulders. Recently, the dress code changed, allowing for ties and neck scarves/kerchiefs, which I'm open to exploring.\n\n**My Dream Styles**\n\nOne of the biggest things for me is comfort. I like to wear things that I can do stuff in, I don't like being too constricted or too loose.\n\nMy first ideal style would be a [casual dandy](http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fmedia-cache-ec0.pinimg.com%2F236x%2Fe0%2F49%2F55%2Fe04955abd0c9931ce46d8fba9d3c4917.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com%2Fstjamesinfirm%2Fandrogyny-the-female-dandy%2F&h=354&w=236&tbnid=fD310GC7KPXAoM%3A&zoom=1&docid=ERhmUz7m8Wu5xM&ei=6cxvVPuIHuPlsASTooLADA&tbm=isch&ved=0CCUQMygIMAg&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=460&page=1&start=0&ndsp=20). I love leather jackets like [this](http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fi.ebayimg.com%2F00%2Fs%2FNjAwWDYwMA%253D%253D%2Fz%2F2wwAAMXQ8odRHv-z%2F%2524T2eC16NHJHYE9nzpcwejBRHv-ysiJw~~60_35.JPG&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FKT-04-Korea-Mens-Leather-Jackets-Casual-Slim-Fitted-Dandy-Stylish-Fashion-3clr-%2F181081882196&h=300&w=300&tbnid=HkObxLWZROt19M%3A&zoom=1&docid=yNnUzQ6YzCrfpM&ei=6cxvVPuIHuPlsASTooLADA&tbm=isch&ved=0CC8QMygSMBI&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=1911&page=1&start=0&ndsp=20) and I've always wanted to pull of [vests like this](http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fi.ebayimg.com%2F00%2Fs%2FNjAwWDYwMA%253D%253D%2Fz%2FXnYAAOxyn~pRz-P~%2F%2524T2eC16V%2C!ygE9s7HI7KkBRz-P-cFIQ~~60_35.JPG&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FVE30-Korea-Mans-Casual-Slim-Line-Vest-Dandy-Fashion-suit-vests-3Color-%2F170879384784&h=300&w=300&tbnid=ZFH7tscKY4w6YM%3A&zoom=1&docid=rles_9NkLTT9-M&ei=6cxvVPuIHuPlsASTooLADA&tbm=isch&ved=0CCkQMygMMAw&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=539&page=1&start=0&ndsp=20), with a tie. A sweatervest for that last ensemble is something I'd also really like.\n\nI'd wear tops like that with a wider-leg trouser, as I don't like skinnies (occasionally bootcuts work for me, it really depends on the style). Oxford flats and v. small heeled ankle boots is something I want to get more into with this style. This style could also be casual-ed down with dark cords, jeans, or less fitted tops (like newsboy style). I don't currently have much that would fit this style; a pair of dark brown cords and a Walmart blazer, off the rack, would be about it I think.\n\nThe other style I like is on the other end of the spectrum, haha. I guess I'd describe it as femme-comfy-cute-adorable. I've been trying to find pictures but they're difficult to come by. One of my favourite outfits in this sort of style is a skirt in a floral pattern like [this](http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fstaging.aforarcade.com%2Fimage%2Fcache%2Fdata%2FStay%252520Gold%2FWatercolour%252520Floral%252520Skirt%252520in%252520Aqua%2525204-700x1000.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fstaging.aforarcade.com%2Fwomen%2Findex.php%3Froute%3Dproduct%2Fproduct%26product_id%3D94&h=1000&w=700&tbnid=Z919IqJPdCLNkM%3A&zoom=1&docid=EpOt7BcZ7y9GSM&ei=UM5vVKHwAvSPsQT7j4LADg&tbm=isch&ved=0CGMQMyg8MDw&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=1214&page=2&start=32&ndsp=35) but cream-pale yellow-pale pink instead of blue, and longer (to my knees), with a long sleeves deep v neck top that's similar to [this](http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fmedia-cache-ec0.pinimg.com%2F236x%2F33%2F87%2F28%2F338728dac4346fc9f5a0363ceb6c9242.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com%2Fstoffenkatleen%2Fdamesblouses%2F&h=314&w=236&tbnid=wJQsFL3_AQBRfM%3A&zoom=1&docid=XJ2Mv3G7ONeYTM&ei=ds9vVNL0I4fmsASc6YCgCw&tbm=isch&ved=0CCAQMygBMAE&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=531&page=1&start=0&ndsp=26) but not as tight, and longer (it fits like a v short dress on me), with coloured tights, usually in a grey or blueish grey, and shoes that look a whole lot like [these](http://galleryplus.ebayimg.com/ws/web/181389278736_1_0_1/1000x1000.jpg) without being that high. For clothes in this style, I have a lot more tops and several skirts, that I haven't been wearing as last year I gained quite a bit of weight and they haven't been fitting as well. I wear the tops with jeans/other pants.\n\n**My Measurements**\n\nI'm 5'3\", 215lbs\n37.6' underbust (on rib cage; that's the underbust, right)\n54\" bust (I have large and long breasts haha)\n35\" waist\n44\" hips, at the hip exactly\n49.5\" round the butt\n29.5\" round the thigh\nMy feet are a 7Wide in womens, usually. I don't buy shoes often so remembering that is difficult haha.\n\nColouring: I've been researching my colouring, I've read almost all of into-mind and I've read that post that was on here about your seasons colouring. My eyes are brown, my hair is darkish brown with red and gold highlights in the sun, my skin has a warm tinge to it, I think (I tan easily and go golden brown like a marshmallow. My cheeks and face is usually a bit red/pink; I think I have a touch of rosacea).\n\nThis is a conundrum for me as my favourite lipstick colour is cool Red Red Red. I think it looks good on me, but I don't know; my colouring says that a warmer red should suit me better.\n\nInspired by a post on into-mind I made a palette of my favourite colours for a wardrobe. This was only a month ago or so that I made this, and as such haven't bought any new clothes (so if my favourite colours would really clash with my own body colours, or with my dream styles, lemme know c: )\n\nBase: [blue](http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fimg3.findthebest.com%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2F2307%2Fmedia%2Fimages%2Ft2%2FRoyal_Blue_2_1395416.png&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcolors.findthebest.com%2Fcompare%2F390-984%2FTrue-Blue-vs-Royal-Blue-2&h=280&w=280&tbnid=PITn0zbLiQ5lkM%3A&zoom=1&docid=UZyVcnMete4DHM&ei=vMpvVMLMAo_IsQTm04HYCQ&tbm=isch&ved=0CDYQMygGMAY&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=399&page=1&start=0&ndsp=18) (I have two shirts in this blue and I love wearing it), orange-tan [1](http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/236x/b8/89/57/b88957c648f5f00f6f1726a605ab1f80.jpg) [2](http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcms.ipressroom.com.s3.amazonaws.com%2F18%2Ffiles%2F20128%2F50538822fc96aa6707000c5d_Fall_Look_25%2FFall_Look_25_bc86846e-e7e6-49b1-bd64-5335db60a14c-prv.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fpressroom.target.com%2Fmultimedia%2Ffall-home-2012-look-book&h=357&w=488&tbnid=-9BPnAbHc7bAPM%3A&zoom=1&docid=Fo6iFeidc3oufM&ei=WcpvVNPzLeLCsAT6yYDYBw&tbm=isch&ved=0CCAQMygFMAU&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=1320&page=1&start=0&ndsp=20) [3](http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0248/8200/products/Front_72789cb9-e321-4396-a09d-10a7448d7f13_1024x1024.jpg?v=1396899798), and [dark brown](http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wampstore.com%2Fstore%2Fimage%2Fcache%2Fdata%2FWamp%2FProducts%2FVallejo%2FGerman%252520cam%252520Medium%252520Brown-900x900.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wampstore.com%2Fstore%2FVallejo-Panzer-series-german-cam-medium-brown&h=900&w=900&tbnid=v2jA2LkYX22YxM%3A&zoom=1&docid=OfU0sUywqmTqkM&ei=9MtvVOrxOsy0sAS83oHoCQ&tbm=isch&ved=0CDAQMygAMAA&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=983&page=1&start=0&ndsp=22)\n\nNeutral colours would be black and [cream](http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.colorcombos.com%2Fimages%2Fcolors%2FFFFFCC.png&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.colorcombos.com%2Ftags%2Fcolors%2Fcream&h=480&w=480&tbnid=SXbS5g-vOBqtJM%3A&zoom=1&docid=WIphVk6au4nNzM&ei=KMtvVIZMjI2xBOOIgOAK&tbm=isch&ved=0CDAQMygAMAA&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=385&page=1&start=0&ndsp=18)\n\nAccent colours would be [dark grey](http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jobsitesupply.com%2Fimg%2Fcolors%2Fchar100_detail.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jobsitesupply.com%2Fdecorative-tools.php&h=330&w=330&tbnid=6nY3fhW03rEXDM%3A&zoom=1&docid=AvRHdrS_7UAdfM&ei=PMtvVO-COI_LsATU9YCADA&tbm=isch&ved=0CB0QMygCMAI&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=2145&page=1&start=0&ndsp=23), [silver](http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fjonberrydesign.net%2Fs%2FSilver_iPadAir_iOS7.png&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.playbuzz.com%2Fbryantc10%2Fwhich-of-the-titans-are-you&h=2448&w=2448&tbnid=Di3hYtyg3yTtyM%3A&zoom=1&docid=9y4SEtnMUF9trM&ei=bstvVPrfCq-IsQSpw4CgCw&tbm=isch&ved=0CDMQMygDMAM&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=1813&page=1&start=0&ndsp=18), [red](http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Frlv.zcache.com%2Fdark_maroon_red_solid_trend_color_blank_background_clock-r1a293f9a8d6f4649ab41822fe01404d1_fup1y_8byvr_512.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.zazzle.com%2Fmaroon%2Bred%2Bclocks&h=512&w=512&tbnid=JsWMogNMOniSUM%3A&zoom=1&docid=HZgZTbO_zlR4PM&ei=jstvVPnQJpHIsQTN_IIg&tbm=isch&ved=0CCAQMygFMAU&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=1525&page=1&start=0&ndsp=17), and [light blue](http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Flib.store.yahoo.net%2Flib%2Fnewtoto%2Fetamine-pale-blue-blue-sheer-fabric-solid-color.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.totofabrics.com%2Fetamine-pale-blue-blue-sheer-fabric-val.html&h=509&w=700&tbnid=J5_OwFhymEIobM%3A&zoom=1&docid=edv4DH-rayCUXM&ei=VctvVMGxL-X9sATGlIHoBA&tbm=isch&ved=0CCIQMygHMAc&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=497&page=1&start=0&ndsp=25). I picked light blue mainly cause I thought it would be a good lighter colour that would match the other ones I'd picked.\n\nOne of my blue shirts is a cowl neck sweater-shirt similar to [this](http://g.nordstromimage.com/imagegallery/store/product/Gigantic/13/_5976293.jpg). It's long but does not look like a dress on me, and it has short sleeves.\n\nI hate necks that are too tight. For tshirts, v-necks, scoop necks, and boat necks are what I like. My sweaters are usually cowl like that last image or a button/zip up that I can adjust to my preferred length. I don't usually worry about showing a bit of cleavage, as I tend to show cleavage in a turtleneck. :P I also prefer zips/buttoned longsleeves over pull overs as with the former I don't need to worry about mussing up my hair or fussing with my glasses. I do have on darker-grey wool-mix pullover sweater with a cowl neck that I just LOVE. It's so soft.\n\nFor shoes, I do like boots and wedges, and shoes with a slight heel for day wear, if I'm not going with flat shoes. I like non-dangerous heels for when I'm feeling a bit fancier (I have a pair like [this](http://bestdelegate.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/China_OEM_High_heel_shoes2011341612072.jpg) that I hardly ever wear because that curve up at the toe!!! I've almost fallen so many times!!! And I like walking in heels normally!!). Typical flats I dislike as I find they fall off too easily on me.\n\nI love POCKETS. I have two purses, one a classic black leather [purse](http://indulgy.ccio.co/04/rE/p4/417vBy2BnFbL.jpg) (but decidedly nicer than that thing) that used to be my grandmother's. I have another one that is a bit larger that has 'Paris' and Eiffel towers stamped on it. I like the look of the black purse more, definitely, but the Paris one is a little bit larger, so I've been using it more since this summer. Ideally I would like a purse to have more than one pocket/side to it, and be able to fit my wallet, phone, keys, pen, small journal, small waterbottle, and some tampons and pads, and not much else. If a purse has room after that I'll end up throwing other random crap into it that just takes up wayyy too much space; I'm a bit of a hoarder.\n\nI've said a few times above that I have shirts that would almost be dresses. For me, though, I'm built like a snowman, and if I were to wear these shirts as dresses I would be showing a bit of underbum. It's aight though as I like longer shirts; I have one wide black belt that I sometimes wear with them, that I cinch at the waist.\n\nI like higher-waisted pants, as well, or rather, pants that actually fit at my waist and not at the top of my bum. As my breasts are v big my waist is rather close to where they end, even though I'm a bit longer in torso. I like my pants to be a bit longer as well, well over my ankle, almost (or actually) brushing the floor.\n\nMost of my shopping I do and have done at Value Village as I'm cheap, haha. I also don't enjoy shopping for too long. Taking off and putting on clothing over and over in rapid succession tires me out and bores me. I like books.\n\nI took some bad photos of me wearing my Red Red lipstick. I was trying to catch the natural light but by the time I got off work it was all but gone. Such is Canada.

I'm sorry it's so lengthy! I hope I gave enough information so that this is a usable post.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_1k1wnf", "text": "Hi everyone,\n\nI'm looking to buy one specific garment but I can't quite find the right thing.\n\nIn a nutshell, I'm looking for a warm, long, cardigan (or similar, not sure if they're all called cardigans or have another name) with pattern (or no pattern) and colours I like.\n\nYou'll need info about me, so I'm going to follow the template from FFA's 'how to post here' guide. Please read the following for as much info as I can provide on what I'm looking for - or if something's missing, please ask!\n\nHeight: about 5'2\"\n\nAge: 27, nearly 28\n\nMeasurements: not sure that these are relevant for what I'm looking for, but happy to edit them in if they're helpful.\n\nBody Type: Using the FFA approved calculator, pear.\n\nWhy?: I feel the cold **a lot**. I live in a place that gets reasonably cold. At present I combat that at home by wearing a thick dressing gown over my clothes as an extra layer, and believe me, I wear it a lot, especially in winter. Although I work from home so it's not as if I'm going into the office wrapped up in my dressing gown, it's still something of a downer for me. \n\nWith winter coming up, I'd like something that is as thick and long as a dressing gown but, crucially, *isn't a dressing gown*. I don't want the \"I'm wearing my dressing gown all the time but otherwise I'm freezing\" feeling anymore! \n\n(Some kind of clip or tie-round at the front to keep the warmth in would be nice, too.)\n\nI've had a look at several clothes shops' websites and seen nothing I really like. The only things I've seen that come close to what I want and like are [this one worn by Willow in an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer](http://www.flickr.com/photos/wzrdreams/4059885344/in/set-72157621929828841) (but I don't have the red hair), and [this, on a random website I found](http://www.simplybe.co.uk/shop/spirit-sands-ruffle-hem-longline-cardigan/uc396/product/details/show.action?pdBoUid=8402#colour:Oatmeal,size:).\n\n\nYou Now: Not really in this for the fashion - I'll be wearing it mostly at home. I just don't want to be wearing my dressing gown all the time and I want something long and warm that I like the pattern/colours of.\n\n\nBudget: I think I am prepared to spend in the region of \u00a350 to get something warm, although could stretch to a bit more, so long as it's of lasting quality.\n\nLocation: I'm in Edinburgh, in the UK.\n\nOther info: I would also appreciate some advice on colours that won't make me look stupid, but I don't know what information to give about complexion/colours etc. This is very much secondary.\n\nIf anyone knows any websites or shops I can start looking into, that would be great. Or any other advice on this really! I seem to be quite picky about finding the right long + warm garment.\n\n**Edit: Thank you so much everyone! You've all been awesome - I didn't expect so much help. As soon as I've finished this project I'll be going through all these links and ideas and hopefully finding my new warm thing.

If you really dig a theme or just want to share different iterations of an outfit, feel free to share all your photos.\n* **Does it have to be something I wore that day?** Not at all! If you have an outfit photo handy from the last couple of weeks that is relevant, you're welcome to post it. But add a note if it isn't recent.\n* **Will themes ever repeat?** If you are keen on repeating a theme please suggest that in the Tuesday announcement/discussion thread.

If you would like to receive CC on your post, you can increase the chances of getting replies by asking for feedback on a specific aspect of your outfit, e.g. \"I'm interested in advice for elevating this outfit without the use of jewelry\" or \"I'd like to know if these pants hit at a good spot for this outfit\".", "author": "anon_8cc2b7fb", "created_utc": 1573316297, "created_iso": "2019-11-09T16:18:17Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/femalefashionadvice/comments/dtxzjy/theme_waywt_november_09_2019_submission_thread/", "community": "femalefashionadvice", "score": 53, "parent_id": null, "title": "Theme WAYWT November 09, 2019 Submission Thread: Androgynous // Hats and Hair Accessories", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "_topics", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-16T23:59:30Z"}

This is not market research or self-promotion. Also, I wrote this myself, and I researched and chose these items myself!*\n\n[**Here's the collection!**](https://pin.it/Q0IrvoAC0)\n\nI\u2019m a personal stylist, so I spend a significant chunk of my work time sourcing unique items for clients; for fun I\u2019d like to share a small slice of my sprawling shopping library with you -- manageably curated with the hope of helping you find some styling inspiration or the couple of pieces you may have been looking to add to your spring/summer wardrobe.\n\nI generally source from designers and companies who are, at minimum, engaging in more sustainable manufacturing by working with more ecologically sound materials or employing workers at fairer rates in safer environments. Mixed in you\u2019ll also find a selection of vintage stuff, accessories from small independent artists, and a few straight luxury pieces (new and secondhand).\u00a0By virtue of my current set of projects, this collection is also loosely focused on feminine-leaning, fashion-forward pieces.\n\nIf you\u2019re familiar with seasonal color analysis, you\u2019ll also notice that the collection is organized by subseason beginning with Bright Spring at the top; flexible pieces in various neutrals and metals are mixed in, though, so I\u2019d definitely encourage browsing beyond your palette!\n\n*Things you won\u2019t find in this collection:*\n\n**\u201cBasics\u201d:** Plain tees and simple athleisure are readily available and aren\u2019t especially interesting to include in a visual shopping guide designed for a broad audience. If you\u2019re in need of these kinds of basics from more sustainable brands, I\u2019d try Leze, Eileen Fisher, Marcella NYC, Baserange, Industry of All Nations, Boden, or Big Bud Press.\u00a0\n\n**Low Low Prices!!!**: Items range from a $20 hand-painted hair clip to a $380 pair of silk trousers; most pieces are between $60 and $200. I don\u2019t ascribe to the cult of the shopping haul and I know that a $12 dress has no chance of being made by someone making a living wage for their work, so there are no truly \u201ccheap\u201d items here. That said, I understand that most people do not have the means to shop exclusively at sustainable luxury retailers (myself included -- I have fancy taste and sometimes dress people of means, but I don\u2019t make much doing it), so I\u2019ve chosen items at a very wide range of price points. I\u2019ve done this with the understanding that this means that many of the less expensive items are from companies with weaker, more varied, or less well-documented sustainability and ethics practices, because I'm confident they\u2019re still better than whatever you might buy from Amazon, Shein, H&M, Free People, Banana Republic, etc.\n\n**\u201cVegan leather\u201d**: Leather is almost always superior in appearance, function, and durability to plastic for comparable fashion applications; the useable life of a leather jacket or shoe is years or decades longer than a plastic one, and I therefore consider it specifically unethical to *replace* leather with plastic. You won\u2019t find any products that are made of \u2018vegan leather\u2019, \u2018faux leather\u2019, or other euphemisms for plastic in this collection. If it\u2019s plastic, it\u2019ll say so.\n\n**Let me know if you have questions or if there are other curated collections that would interest you (like a fall/winter version, more masc styles, lingerie, activewear, leather goods, formalwear, suiting, utility/workwear, etc.) and I\u2019ll do what I can!

Others keep things more subtle, like cozy neutrals with a hint of shine, or one small holiday-themed piece (like jewelry, hair ribbon, or a cute pair of socks).\n\nI\u2019m curious how you all balance looking seasonal vs. feeling like yourselves. Do you enjoy leaning into classic holiday colors (greens, reds, gold), or do you prefer a more understated winter aesthetic? And if you go to events, family gatherings, office parties, dinners with friends, does your style change?\n\nI\u2019d love to see what feels festive without crossing into costume territory.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_1l8oask", "text": "I've recently started selling on Vinted to get rid of my excess clothing and have noticed a very strange pattern. I can post a beautiful, vintage, pure wool dress or blazer, and get absolutely no interest, but a some cheap Zara top? Gone in ten minutes, and not particularly cheap. Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren sell for good percentages of their original cost, despite being made in Bangladesh or China.\n\nOn the other hand, when I search for things, I put in \"Made in France 100% linen\", etc. The country and the material, in both English and other languages (I'm in Europe and have access to French Vinted). I buy absolutely fantastic, well-made, all natural fibre pieces for 1-3 euros on average, while the popular brands are much more sought after. Once I know a brand is made somewhere, I save that brand and now have an enormous list, which I will share below. The biggest advice I can give anyone is this: change your parameters. Lose faith in big brands, traditional brands, your favourite brand. Judge items purely by where they're made, what they're made of, and how well they're made (and the measurements for your body). You can tell the quality of manufacturing by how straight seams are, how good pattern matching is, whether it's lined, whether hems are machine or hand sewed, etc. If you can, find out the manufacturing conditions as well - vintage brands are less likely to have the issues inherent to globalisation. If you have any questions, please post them so I can try and answer them.\n\nEDIT: It should be noted that some brands, like DVF, Massimo Dutti, Cache Cache, etc., still exist today and are much lower quality than their vintage counterpoints. Make sure to see photos of the labels!\n\nEDIT 2: If you know of any other brands, current or vintage, that are made in well-paid and safe conditions, please post them!

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_1eb8ndx", "text": "*i\u2019m using Summer Goth\u2122 as a catch-all for alternative summer styles, this is a light-hearted fashion post, pls don\u2019t @ me about what\u2019s \u201creal goth\u201d and what isn\u2019t, it\u2019s not that srs thank youuuuuuu\n\n\n\n\nThe skies are blue, the flowers are in bloom, the sun is shining, and you\u2026you\u2019re dressed in all black. With leather boots on. If you\u2019re a goth girlie, an emo, a metalhead, or any other type of garden variety alt, then you might traditionally dread summer. But that\u2019s just because you\u2019re not dressed for the weather. Hot weather is not incompatible with your commitment to an alternative aesthetic, so let\u2019s look at how we can summer goth-ify our wardrobes. \n\n\n\n#Cuts & Fabrics\n\n\n##fabrics\n\n\nIn hot weather, the most important consideration is definitely fabric. Set the black stretch spandex aside for now, and maybe save that leather corset for the fall. You want light, airy, breathable fabrics that keep you cool and protected and that won\u2019t cause you to overheat.\n\n\nTurns out, you can still get away with wearing black in the summer if it\u2019s in the right cut and fabric. Linen is your best friend, here, so learn to love it. Sure, the wrinkles aren\u2019t ideal, but looking perfect is not very metal, either. You want to look a bit fucked up. Cotton is a good runner up, as are gauze and seersucker, all perfect for casual, relaxed looks. \n\n\nIf we\u2019re talking nightlife or dressier occasions, silk and lace are good picks here, because they evoke your aesthetic without overheating you unnecessarily. \n\n\n##silhouettes\n\n\nHalf the battle in the summer is making sure nothing is touching your body, which can be difficult, but not if you plan accordingly. Thankfully, loose, wide, boxy, roomy, oversized cuts have been fashionable for a while, so not only will you not look weird dressed like that, you will actively look good.\n\n\nIt may seem counterintuitive - it\u2019s so much fabric! surely it would add warmth? - but this kind of cut allows for more movement and your clothes are more likely to catch a bit of a breeze. In addition to the fact that they\u2019re not hugging you in a sweaty straightjacket like fitted clothes do. \n\n\nAn oversized linen shirt, half buttoned, with a pair of loose linen shorts can be a great summer goth uniform. When it\u2019s this hot, color matters less than fabric and cut, so you can get away with black, as long as you\u2019re not going out in black spandex. Wide leg pants are breezy and add the touch of drama you\u2019re craving. \n\n\nIf you\u2019re more partial to dresses, pick something loose or straight cut, instead of a bodycon or a style fitted at the waist. Bonus - you can usually get away without a bra in loose clothes and god knows you don\u2019t need that much elastic around you in these temperatures. Longer lengths may be better to protect you from the sun and keep you cool, but no one\u2019s gonna get mad at a cute mini.\n\n\n##prints\n\n\nOk, but you don\u2019t have to be funeral-ready at ALL times, summer is the time for cuter, happier clothes, so you can take a break from widow-core and dip your toe into some prints. Dark florals are always a good choice, whether they\u2019re ditsy florals or larger prints. Black and white polka dots can be cutesy, but not if you pair them with more streamlined cuts. It\u2019s the perfect time for black and white gingham, especially in a seersucker fabric. Imagine some gingham wide-leg pants with a black top and platform sandals. Goth Lite\u2122. Black and white stripes are classic Halloween-y, Beetlejuicy attire, so I don\u2019t need to convince you they\u2019re great for summer. \n\n\n##colors\n\n\nOkay, this one\u2019s easy, wear all black, done. \n\n\n\u2026but that\u2019s not your *only* option. I\u2019m partial to black and white, which is not just chic and classic, but it can also totally still read as alt. Especially in the summer, when lighter colors are favored. In fact, you can probably get away with all white outfits if you accessorize them correctly. Blasphemy, I know. \n\n\nOtherwise, black + red is classic goth, no surprises there, but you can also play with pastel goth, or other moody colors. Plums, browns, dark olive-y greens - anything that screams \u201cdecay\u201d in the middle of a glorious summer day. \n\n\n##layers\n\n\nWe\u2019re not doing a lot of layering in the summer, which *can* make styling more difficult, if you\u2019re used to relying on it. You can forego it entirely, or you can work around it with some sheer cover-ups. Gauze, lace, silk, organza are all lovely fabrics to throw on top of a skimpier fit. Think a dark floral kimono, some wide sleeves, or puffy sleeves. Visual interest and a modicum of sun protection, all in one. \n\n\n\n#Accessorize dramatically\n\n\n\n##substantial sandals\n\n\nFootwear is, perhaps, one of the biggest battles, because a lot of these aesthetics hinge on big, stompy boots and that\u2019s just not a good idea in hot weather. Can you be alt without stomping around in your stompy black boots? Yes, by getting stompy sandals, instead. \n\n\nListen, nobody likes to have hot, sweaty feet, so some compromises have to be made. Get a dark polish pedicure and go buy yourself some sandals. Black platform sandals are everywhere, so you shouldn\u2019t have trouble finding a pair that you can wear while retaining your goth dignity intact. Dr. Martens puts out like, 10 types of sandals every summer, from sleek, unisex styles to platforms and chains, and spikes and hardware. \n\n\nIf lugging around half your body weight on your feet sounds dreadful in the summer, then you can opt for lighter shoes. Tevas come in all black, and even big platforms, only they\u2019re foam so they have the added bonus of being as light as a feather. You can even take them into the river to cool down. \n\n\nBlack Birkenstocks are out there, in leather, suede, plastic, or vegan materials. They\u2019re comfortable and they can \u201cpass\u201d for cool shoes if this goth can use the arch support. Ignore the fact that your square dad wears the same shoes when he\u2019s gardening. Speaking of gardening, have you looked at the black platform crocs? You have to admit they\u2019re a little bit cool. And breezy! But generally, any black platform sandal will do, or something flat with straps, buckles, hardware, etc. It doesn\u2019t have to be an ~edgy~ brand. \n\n\n##bags\n\n\nBags won\u2019t keep you cooler or hotter, but they can add a lot of personality and edge to an outfit. A black straw bag can fit right into your look and it\u2019s a great blend of summer-y and edgy. You can also opt for black leather bags if you don\u2019t think they\u2019re too heavy or sweaty for this time of year, they\u2019ll go a long way in accessorizing a simpler outfit in a more alt way. \n\n\nTote bags can also be a great choice in the summer because they\u2019re much lighter and made of cotton. The only thing I wouldn\u2019t recommend is a big leather backpack, that\u2019s going to result in a sweaty, gross-feeling back. Maybe a smaller backpack as a compromise. \n\n\n##jewelry\n\n\nJewelry is the single most important category here, in my opinion, because it can transform any outfit, no matter how plain, into an edgier version that stays true to your chosen aesthetic. Obviously, piling on the big rings and the necklaces and the bracelets will telegraph the kind of look you normally prefer, regardless of the white floral dress you\u2019re wearing right now. But that can get sweaty. And sticky. \n\n\nThe solution to this are earrings. If you have multi pierced ears, this is the time to make them work for you. Earrings will add movement and bling, but without any extra sweat. \n\n\n##gothy sun protection\n\n\nThis is your chance to pull out the accessories that might deem you \u201cextra\u201d in any other season, but summer is a great excuse. Sun protection is no joke - especially for a demographic that has historically avoided the rays in order to preserve the correct corpse color - so take out the wide brimmed black witchy hats, and the black, Victorian lace parasols. \n\n\nMaybe don\u2019t choose a felt hat, but any kind of black straw hat will do nicely, whether it\u2019s a classic floppy hat, a boater hat, or a cloche. A faded black or gray baseball cap can also work if you lean more sporty/casual. \n\n\nSunglasses are an easy one, because you can find big, black, chunky frames anywhere you go. Of course, these also tend to be sweaty and slide off your face, so you be the judge of what you\u2019re willing to endure. \n\n\nAs for the parasol, I wasn\u2019t kidding. More and more, people are opting to wear umbrellas for sun protection, so you won\u2019t even stand out that much. This summer alone I\u2019ve seen people sporting parasols, Asian style paper umbrellas, or just regular rain umbrellas. And the perfect accessory to top it all off? A black, lacy fan. Utilitarian, *and* gothy. Seize the day and look like a Victorian widow. \n\n\n\n##hardcore accessories [because you\u2019re not hardcore, unless you live harcore](https://media1.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExdHdhbW8ycnlueHdtNHdvN3duMWgzdGdmOWl1dXhpZ3FvbXF6bjlubiZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/W8EqDfBgKr4Ws/giphy.webp)\n\n\nI\u2019ve only said it twenty times, I don\u2019t know if you heard, but accessories are the key to a Hot ~~Girl~~ Goth Summer\u2122, did you know? What I mean is leather and hardware. Chokers, harnesses, and belts - oh my! - are a go-to and they can serve you well to give almost any outfit an alternative bend. Surely you\u2019ve seen a Pinterest post or two with white, frothy cottagecore dresses with puffy sleeves with black harnesses and docs. And they look great and not any less alt than an all black fit, so use these accessories to your advantage when you can. Avoid putting them on naked skin if it\u2019s a sweaty day, though, the chafing isn\u2019t worth it. \n\n\nHardware is the other piece of the puzzle. Buckles, piercings, rivets, studs, spikes, chains, o rings - any metal you add to a fit will make it more\u2026well, metal. Again, a plain sundress by itself? Not very alt. A sundress that\u2019s accessorized with spiky shoes, a choker, and a leather belt with chains hanging off it? Much better. \n\n\n##hair & makeup\n\n\nMakeup is often an integral part of any alternative style, but it can become tricky in hot, sweaty temps. That elaborate dark smokey eye will not fare well. Lipstick is the best choice, here, because it\u2019s less prone to slipping and sliding off your face, and it can also instantly make an outfit edgier. Black, dark red, purple and other non traditional lipstick colors are great for this. If you do want to play up your eyes, I recommend graphic eyeliner instead of eyeshadow. Cream liner tends to stay put once dry, especially if you hit it with setting spray. \n\n\nHair can also play a part, here. An updo with cool accessories - hair piercings, chains, other hair \u201chardware\u201d like bobby pins can make any look more interesting. You can also go for a classic goth icon look and opt for two long braids. I\u2019m sure Wednesday Addams went to the beach sometime, right? \n\n\nSometimes, you can even forego all this if you have the right nails. Long, dark, sharp nails go a long way, and they can\u2019t make you sweaty, win-win. \n\n\n\n#Extra, extra, read all about it:\n\n\n\n- Okay, but what do you do when you need to be a Beach Goth\u2122? Any black bikini should technically work, although I\u2019m partial to one that\u2019s less basic. Something strappy always reads a bit edgier, so you might want to look for one with an interesting design. \n\n\n- An obvious one, but take advantage of band merch. Big black t-shirts aren\u2019t ideal - although they can make a great casual fit paired with black bike shorts or a midi skirt - but there are also crop tops, tank tops, tote bags, socks, bandanas - anything you can add to an outfit that won\u2019t also add pain and suffering in the heat. \n\n\n- If you take only one or two tips from this list, let it be shoes and accessories. the right pair of stompy shoes can transform any outfit, no matter how out of your all black comfort zone\n\n\n- If you\u2019re tattooed and you\u2019re showing skin, remember that the sun fades ink, so make sure to diligently apply sunscreen.\n\n\n\n\nOne important thing to remember is that your clothes don\u2019t have to be explicitly goth or alt to work for your aesthetic. Thankfully, you can shop almost anywhere for black clothes and goths wear basics, too. you can make any style or aesthetic more \u201cyou\u201d. Summer goth can come in a lot of styles, whether that\u2019s more minimal and corporate, whimsigoth, femme, masc, etc. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nVisuals: https://www.pinterest.com/fashionthrowaway/summer-goth/ (i normally do a better job using diverse examples but i did this one on a whim and didn't put as much time into it but i will be updating this board with more models)\n\nIf you enjoyed this, I've written about dressing for summer before: https://www.reddit.com/r/femalefashionadvice/comments/15wdfb3/how_to_add_visual_interest_to_summer_outfits/\n\nAlso have posts on other topics, like updating wardrobes or current trends, if you want to give them a read.", "author": "anon_5e34f9c8", "created_utc": 1721845468, "created_iso": "2024-07-24T18:24:28Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/femalefashionadvice/comments/1eb8ndx/you_dont_hate_summer_youre_just_dressed_wrong/", "community": "femalefashionadvice", "score": 641, "parent_id": null, "title": "You Don\u2019t Hate Summer, You\u2019re Just Dressed Wrong: Summer Goth* Edition", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "_topics", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-17T00:00:00Z"}

That's still a work in progress.\n* Started this for my own use before deciding to share, so I apologize that I haven't attributed sources.\n* Please feel more than welcome to advice anything you think will help me or other \"newbies\" to make real-world (and virtual) choices.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nFactors people considered when choosing fabric/fibers:\n\n* Allergies/medical and sensory/itchy\n* Concerns re: environment/animal welfare\n* Expense\n* Level of care (quick to dry, need to dry-clean, able to go in dryer, need to iron)\n* \u201cFeel\u201d (static, smoothness)\n* Performance (warmth, breathability - but camping/etc another topic/world)\n* Durability (piling, wrinkling, running/holes)\n* Appearance (draping, clinging, stiffness)\n\n&#x200B;\n\nBackground knowledge/caveats:\n\n* 100% natural is often not better (more below).\n* Thicker fabric is better, but cotton, wool and linen usually good even when thin (e.g., linen jersey knit). Exception: \u201cThick cotton knit sweaters don't feel very warm to me and seem to lose their shape quickly.\u201d (Think this refers more to the knit than the weave/fiber - and agree - they tend to look soggy and shapeless on me regardless of how nice on model).\n* Factors that make garment last and hold its shape: tighter weave, fewer types of fibers mixed in, fewer seams (not sure how to tell online). Part of reason lower-quality Merino pills and doesn\u2019t last - short, slender fibers, woven loose to be softer. \u201cMerino is good as long as it's decent quality!\u201d\n* Can use quality of stitching to determine if a higher quality fabric - regardless of what the fabric is made of (synthetic/natural/etc). \u201cFrench seams, properly fashioned buttonholes, even hems and a lack of puckering/loose threads\u201d. Construction is pivotal.\n* Experience - pay attention, touch fabrics in stores, read tags. Inspect after taking home/washing.\n* The same type of fabric (or fibers, more accurately) isn\u2019t universal. \u201cIf you're used to modern mall cashmere, vintage cashmere is a revelation.\u201d\n* Stop washing things so much. Sweaters once a year. Avoid dryer and hang instead of folding, except knits (stretch out). \"This is the one exception on how to hang your knits: [https://www.today.com/style/how-hang-your-sweaters-without-ruining-them-t118188](https://www.today.com/style/how-hang-your-sweaters-without-ruining-them-t118188)\"\n* \u201cusing tap cold water and a more gentle laundry soap... not washing clothes after every wear as long as they\u2019re still clean.\u201d\n* \u201cI hang dry all my clothes and I attribute this to why I have clothes that have been in and out of heavy rotation without being terribly worse for wear for a decade.\u201d\n\n&#x200B;\n\nNatural versus natural-synthetic blends:\n\n* Natural is best as a **base** (unless you don\u2019t like it - e.g., wrinkles with linen). However, good proportion felt that with about 20% synthetic mixed in was more durable, keep their shape better, less sag over time, prevent holes/runs, extend life.\n* Natural: Cotton, linen (some don\u2019t like wrinkles), wool (some don\u2019t like itchiness/piling, especially looser weaves), cashmere (piling, some don\u2019t like care required), silk (some don\u2019t like care required), leather (some only buy used), hemp. \u201cRamie\u2026 it's not that it's brittle, it's that it's quite stiff, so good for heavier weights. Pants or skirts that need weight and body, or boxy jackets.\u201c\n* \u201cLots of people prefer natural fibers\u2026 drape better and are more comfortable, less staticky and less prone to odors. But there is a huge variation in quality depending on not only fiber length but also construction and thickness.\u201d\n* Most will not buy blends if more than 50% synthetic. However, the more \u201cwear\u201d it gets (socks, athletic clothing, rain gear/outerwear, bathing suits, and especially technical gear like a rucksack which may be 100%) the most synthetic seems acceptable to people. However, some still avoid polyester anyway because \"stinky.\"\n* Good baseline choices: \u201cMoisture wicking and temperature regulating (cotton/wool/silk/lyocell/modal)\u201d\n* On ethics/animal cruelty: \"I think a good balance here, as others have already suggested, is to buy wool and leather only used... stick to cotton, denim, linen, hemp, etc. when buying new.\"\n* Caveat: \u201cI work as an apparel designer specializing in compression bottoms (lots of poly/spandex and nylon/spandex blends). There is no hard and fast rule what will pill and what won't. Nylon tends to be more durable but it often comes down to the type of knit and how the fibers were created. For bottoms we almost exclusively used nylon/spandex due to its durability but occasionally would have to use poly/spandex if we were sublimating the bottoms. The last place I worked had a materials testing lab in house and sometimes a fabric would pass the pilling/abrasion tests and then fail in real life situations.\u201d\n\n&#x200B;\n\nSpecific blends:\n\n* \u201cI like linen and cotton poly blends sometimes as they're more wrinkle-resistant and drape a bit more softly or offer stretch\u201d \u201cMy favorite shirts are cotton/poly blends as they wear well and don\u2019t fade over time. \u201c\n* Conversely: \u201cPolyester-cotton blends pill immediately.\u201d \u201cPilling is common in poly cotton blends when the cotton starts to separate from the polyester. All cotton clothing rarely has this issue.\u201d \"I wouldn't buy poly blend sweatshirts again, they pill in the most upsetting way over time.\"\n* \u201cI like a bit of elastine since I hate fabrics without stretch.\u201d\n* Jeans: directly conflicting opinions: \u201cFor jeans, I prefer really soft and stretchy cotton/poly/spandex blends. Higher-end blends usually have fantastic shape retention, and they are so comfortable.\u201d Conversely:\u201cI \\~hate\\~ that most jeans now are like 60% cotton, 40% random stuff. They wear out so quickly! What happened to the 98% cotton, 2% elastane ones? Just enough stretch and lasted forever. I can even handle 92% cotton and 8% something else. I just detest\u2026 stretched out after some light use. I expect to\u2026 wash and wear them until the butt wears through.\u201d\n* Some even prefer 100% cotton jeans (doesn\u2019t start to over-stretch and sag during day as modern poorer-quality jeans. I\u2019m curvy so this sounds terrible to me!)\n* \u201c100% wool (sheep's wool, lambswool, mohair) tends to irritate my skin, so I love cashmere, alpaca, merino, or wool blends.\u201d\n* \u201cI find that 100% wool and alpaca knits are too itchy, so the blend can actually improve the texture.\u201d\n* \u201cMy favorite so far has been a 96% wool plus 4% synthetic blend. Still has all the feel, drape and durability of wool but with just a little extra stretch. I know that\u2019s oddly specific but my best quality work clothes are inevitably this blend.\u201d\n* \u201cI like wool/nylon blends. Nylon helps strengthen and cuts down on pilling a bit\u2026 I usually knit my own stuff but I go with 25-30% nylon.\u201d\n* \u201cFor knitwear\u2026 I avoid anything made up of more than 3 materials\u2026 more likely to rub against each other and pill more quickly.\u201d\n* \u201cThin blended knits will let you down over time.\u201d\n\n&#x200B;\n\nPet hair:\n\n* Have to lint roll before laundry, otherwise hair gets on other clothes and causes expensive plumbing repairs. Tumble dry 10 minutes with dryer sheet or balls BEFORE washing to release hair, clean lint trap. Vinegar in fabric softener slot. Moisten dryer balls. Hair starts with pet, brush them.\n* Choose smooth, tightly-woven fabrics (no idea how to determine online).\n* Dog hair: \u201cI don't buy anything that has lint on it in the store, secondhand or new, because that means it will attract dog hair\u2026 eliminates almost all velvet, corduroy, and other high-pile fabrics. Wool is an iffy one and has to be determined piece by piece.\u201d\n* \u201cavoided that outdoorsy fleece material... it\u2019s impossible to get dog hair off of it\u201d\n\n&#x200B;\n\nCotton:\n\n* Easy to find poor quality. Better example brands: arket, kos.\n* Pima cotton - longer fiber, softer, durable, luxurious\n* Alternatives sustainable: hemp, ramie, linen, tencel\n* Opinion: \u201cCotton is best left for underwear and sheets\u201d\n* \u201cI rarely buy cotton or imitation cotton (made from various synthetics like polyester, viscose, rayon - it's more about that t-shirt material look/feel than the actual fabric, as I have excellent luck buying polyester chiffon). These fabrics pill horribly, fade in color, and often attract lint and dog hair. They look new when they are new and never again after that. Poplin cotton is an exception, as I don't tend to have problems with non-stretch, woven cotton items.\u201d\n* \u201cJersey cotton - I mostly buy 100% cotton tees. One of my favourites is made with thick ring-spun cotton. My Grana pima tee is both thin and soft. Probably my most expensive tee is from James Perse and the jersey cotton is so soft and thin and hasn\u2019t pilled a bit - changed my mind about not spending on tees. I\u2019ve had good luck with LOFT for cheaper tees.\u201d\n* \"Denim (cotton) deserves a shoutout. It's all around one of the sturdiest, best all-around quality, longest-lasting, lowest maintenance materials in existence. It's also easier than many fabrics to mend, and is more resilient to minor damage. It checks all the boxes. Of course it's possible to buy low-quality denim, but I'd rather that than any other low-quality fabric.\"\n* \"I love cotton poplin or cotton satin for dresses. They're very crisp and smooth, which gives them a more formal or fancy look in my opinion. They also don't wrinkle too much if I pull them out of the washer promptly. For tshirts I like a medium weight ringspun cotton usually, but there are a lot of styles I like. Basically anything except the kind of cheap cotton that quickly grows fuzzy.\"\n\n&#x200B;\n\nWool (sheep), Cashmere (goat), and Mohair (goat), Angora (bunny), Alpaca (alpaca):\n\n* \"Cashmere, lambswool, merino, mohair, angora, alpaca, vicuna, camel, wool crepe, 100% wool blends, wool/acrylic blends. These all have different properties. Personally I can not wear knit lambswool or wool blends due the itch factor. But for some reason, I can wear merino despite it being higher in lanolin, which is associated with itching and skin reaction... Many wool types do not have lanolin, and don't seem to cause as much itching: Alpaca, vicuna, etc.\"\n* \"Most, if not all, wool is sold in grades. For many, the higher the grade, the longer the fiber, the better the product. You can still buy premium cashmere that is soft as vintage cashmere, but it's incredibly expensive and hard to find. I find that merino wool has a wide range of quality, a lot of low quality merino has flooded the market in the last 2 decades.\"\n* Wool: \"best known in the fashion industry is the Merino sheep breed, which have extra fluffy soft wool, and the Shetland, which have coarser, tougher fiber. Merino is delicate wool you want next to your skin; Shetland is itchy wool that'll outlast you and possibly your grandkids.\"\n* \"I like wool especially for outerwear. It's super warm and somewhat waterproof. It's worth investing in a nicer wool though.\"\n* \"Mohair: from the other goats! Known for a floaty halo of floof around a sturdy strand of yarn, though it does come in other varieties. Shockingly warm, can be a little bit prickly feeling.\"\n* Cashmere - long lasting and durable, warmer and easier to care for than wool, luxurious, easier. There are grade A through C, A has longest and finest yarn, more ply.\n* Cashmere: \"Softer than merino, but also far more expensive, because these particular goats have a pretty limited climate range and also there are a lot more steps between shave goat and get sweater than there are between shave sheep and get sweater.\"\n* \"Cheaper manufacturers (looking at you Quince) use 100% wool BUT the fibers that make up the wool are shorter and therefore will pill more easily\"\n* Conversely: \"I own a lot of cashmere of all price ranges, from one of a kind hand knit pieces to fancy vintage stuff to department store brands. I\u2019ve found quince to have significantly better quality than modern department store brands like Bloomingdale\u2019s, charter club etc. It\u2019s definitely on the thin side, but it\u2019s soft and strong and not itchy.\"\n* \"Angora: from the softest fluffiest bunnies you've ever seen... Similar \"halo\" effect as mohair. Softest fiber on this list, light as air, and insanely warm. Feels like being hugged by the platonic ideal of coziness. Not durable at all, but does well in blends.\"\n* \"Alpaca: Usually somewhere between Merino wool and cashmere on the softness scale, and warmer than either. Smoother to the touch than either of those fibers. Very drapey, but can have some difficulty holding its shape unless blended with another fiber. While calling it hypoallergenic is a stretch, it is true that some people with allergies to wool and cashmere find they do just fine with alpaca.\"\n* \"The highest grade of alpaca is called \"baby alpaca.\" It's not from babies, it's from the super soft shorter hairs that grow on the chest of alpacas. In Peru, there are a lot of unmarked acrylic/alpaca blends that are sold to tourists as \"baby alpaca.\" The joke is that it's \"maybe alpaca.\" I've seen similar alpaca/acrylic blends pop up in US malls around Christmas. I'd avoid it. You can get 100% baby alpaca from reputable brands in/imported directly from Peru. It will have a content label on it, and the softness will BLOW YOUR MIND.\"\n\n&#x200B;\n\nMore on Cashmere (goat):\n\n* \"cashmere farming is also destroyed/ destroying an ecosystem\"\n* \"My cashmere sweaters are all made in Scotland. They certainly do pill, but Scottish cashmere is supposed to be more durable, and I've found they held up pretty well over time.\"\n* \u201c100% Cashmere sweaters really are worth it imo\u201d\n* \u201cCashmere is very nice but it can be hot and difficult to maintain.\u201d\n* Debate about ethics: \"I wear cashmere on a daily basis and I live in CA. Nothing is comparably soft and breathable for the winter season. It only has to be washed 2-3 times over the whole season compared to cotton which needs to be washed every wear...  if not a cashmere sweater every day... If I weren\u2019t cold then I\u2019d to be covered uncomfortable bulk. Furthermore, there are serious ethical considerations regarding cotton as well... cashmere lasts decades... Every thrift store is full of it. There\u2019s nothing more sustainable/cruelty free than buying secondhand clothes or wearing the clothes you have for decades. \"\n\n&#x200B;\n\nLinen (flax)\n\n* Huge difference between thick versus thin - quality matters here\n* Shouldn\u2019t be sheer, especially trousers\n* \u201cCan only compare Uniqlo linen with Massimo Dutti, Rag&Bone, or COS: quality and price are mostly seen in the latter in stuff like buttons (mother of pearl/metal not just plastic), overall more modern cut, and more interesting colors. The cloth itself is almost identical, slightly more polished with a bit more luster in more expensive brands if I\u2019m being really really picky.\u201d\n* \"I search for linen clothes on resale websites/apps... because I can see how various brands hold up over time and use. Crappy, unedited photos that people post are infinitely times better for seeing how a garment holds up over time than a professional ad photo. Also if you like vintage clothing, the 90s had an absolute field day with linen and there are tonnnssss of clothes out there (on Poshmark, eBay, Mercari, etc.) that are on-trend again.\u201d\n* \"Linen... can be ironed less. If you go for a washed linen with a soft, slightly rumpled look, rather than starched and pressed linen, you can wash and dry it. Immediately remove it from the dryer, and enjoy its softness and loose feel (and warmth from the dryer. It's very cozy).\"\n* \"Linen... works great for all year, it keeps me cool in the summer and warm in the winter, and I love the way it softens with age. It does wrinkle a lot but I don't really mind, it's quick and easy to iron. I generally go for a pre-softened linen in shirts because I wish to avoid the scratchy phase, even though I know it will get soft.\"\n\n&#x200B;\n\nSilk\n\n* \"Silk... is great for thermoregulating... looks very pretty, it can be stiff or soft and slippery depending on the weave and thickness. The downside is it's harder to care for. When I make my own clothes, I generally prewash my silk in water to allow any shrinking or texture changes to happen up front, which makes my life easier later.\"\n* \u201cSilk jersey is amazing. Slinky, and can be classy and sexy at the same time. Doesn't wrinkle.\u201d\n* \u201csilk twill\u201d - silk in a thicker, sturdier twill weave. It\u2019s just all the softness and shine of silk but just enough structure to make collars and cuffs lie sharp and enough thickness/opacity so I don\u2019t have to worry about anything showing underneath.\u201d\n\n&#x200B;\n\nLeather and suede:\n\n* \"There's a lot of different kinds of leather. I personally like vegetable-tanned full-grain leather, but it is not suitable for something like a skirt or pants.\"\n\n&#x200B;\n\nUnderstanding semi-synthetic (made from biological materials like trees) products:\n\n* \"Generation 1 - Rayon: sometimes called viscose rayon or artificial silk... high luster and bright shine whilst feeling soft and smooth to wear.\" \\[Notes: production process is bad for the environment compared to the other two; see below, many people do not like other qualities of rayon\\]. \"It was the first regenerated cellulose fibre, patented as \u201cartificial silk\u201d in 1894.\"\n* \"Generation 2 - Modal: The second generation of cellulose fibre. Its softness has been enhanced and strength has been added to the fabric so that it doesn\u2019t shrink or stretch when wet.\" 1951.\n* \"Generation 3 - Lyocell: The latest development in cellulose fabric technology. It\u2019s better for the environment... retains the softness, drape and potential antibacterial properties of previous generations.\" 1990s.\n* \"Viscose, modal and lyocell are very similar... might be forgiven for calling them all viscose... man-made but they are not synthetic. In fact, as fibres that are man-made from a natural product, we might call them semi-synthetic fabrics.\"\n* Tencel is brand name (Green Austrian company) that makes lyocell (from eucalyptus) and modal (beech tree).\n* Lyocell \"is one of the most sustainable production processes of any modern material... recovering over 99% of the solvent.. highly energy efficient and powered by bioenergy. The wood... all sustainably sourced and certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). This has helped Lenzing\u2019s TENCEL\u2122 Lyocell gain the \u201cEuropean Award for the Environment\u201d.\"\n* \"Modal is usually high in stretch and the fiber is shorter in terms of length than lyocell. Whereas lyocell is the long length fiber which has more bones and shine comparing to modal.Tencel lyocell is the best lyocell and it's the best man-made wood fiber within all kinds.\"\n* \"Viscose, modal and lyocell are all made from plant material... the fibre itself is composed of long chains of cellulose molecules that have been lined up to make a useful filament (very long continuous fibre), not unlike silk. This plant-based chemical structure is what gives these textiles their desirable properties... natural next-to-skin softness, breathability and good moisture management.\"\n* \"\"Lyocell\" = lyocell-rayon cellulose derived from plant materials\"Viscose\" = viscose-rayon cellulose derived from plant materials\"Modal\" = lyocell/viscose-rayon cellulose derived from beechwood\"Bamboo\"= lyocell/viscose-rayon cellulose derived from bamboo\"\n* \"Lyocell: \"the absorption of the water in Tencel\u00ae (lyocell) is more uniform. This internal structure is a product of the different manufacturing process and gives fabrics made from Tencel\u00ae improved moisture absorbency and breathability.\"\n* Lyocell \"feels and wears infinitely better than other synthetics. It gets a very positive write up on the credible sustainability watchdog sites. Modal and lyocel (maybe also cupro?) also have a quality edge on ordinary viscose and rayon.\"\n* \"Rayon.. incredibly soft and comfortable to wear and can be easily dyed into whatever colours you desire. Rayon is breathable and wicks moisture from the skin... does not pill... feels gentle on your skin and provides moderate resistance to wrinkling... delicate wash, as it does lose strength when wet. Ironing should be fine but it is less resistant to high temperatures than cotton, so can shrink if tumble dried.\"\n* \"Modal... same properties as regular rayon but... strength when wet... more soft than rayon, making it ideal for intimate body contact... underwear or sports clothing. The additional strength... machine washable and can be tumble dried without shrinking or stretching... hold their colour well so typically don\u2019t fade or gray over time.\"\n* \"lyocell... can absorb moisture around 50% more quickly than cotton and release it into the atmosphere... sports clothes... intimate garments, bedding or sheets... breathable... maintain and regulate body temperature... clothes should stay smelling fresher for longer. This limits the number of times that an item needs to be washed, which is key to dressing more sustainably. In comparison, bacteria are able to thrive on man made synthetics like nylon or polyester. \"\n* \"Like modal, lyocell also has the benefit of being durable even when wet. It doesn\u2019t wrinkle or crease easily, making it a particularly good material to wear if you are one of those people who hates ironing (like me). The versatility of this fabric means it's perfect for anything from light silky flowy dresses, flexible activewear, sheets or even stiffer shirts.\"\n\n&#x200B;\n\nSynthetic or sort-of-synthetic materials people liked best:\n\n* \"vastly different levels of quality when it comes to synthetics, and when used deliberately in a garment they can be superior. Fast fashion like Free People or Shein or whatever are going to sell you the garbage quality version, but there are amazing quality plant leathers, polyesters, and so on to be found.\"\n* Tencel (I believe referring to Lyocell here) are easy to care for, arguably natural/biodegradable rather than strictly synthetic, light and soft, mimic expensive fabrics. \u201cI have a pair of jeans and a chambray shirt in tencel and they're both SO SOFT.\u201d \u201cTencel, it drapes and washes so nicely!\u201d \u201dIt doesn\u2019t wrinkle as much as the cotton Oxford shirts\u201d\n* Modal (beech tree). \u201cFor tees, I like all/mostly cotton (practical, usually comfortable) or modal (sometimes harder to care for but soooo comfy).\u201d \"IME, modal quality varies widely.\" Contrary opinion: \u201cModal bc it stains and rips like a MFer. Or me and the kids are extra hard on clothes?\u201d\n* Spandex. Spandex does not fatigue, stretch, strong, durable, light, soft. Resistant to body oil, perspiration, beach. (A couple contrary opinions: \u201clycra/spandex/elastine. It's basically rubber band thread and will often shorten the life of your clothing because it breaks down more quickly than natural fibers.\u201d\u201cI find even a small amount of spandex to be suffocating, especially in hot weather.\u201d)\n* Nylon. Durable, elastic, resilient, ranges from lustrous to dull. Nylon pills easily, static. \u201cNylon or polyamide is generally better than polyester.\u201d\n* \u201cPolyester and nylon technical fabrics can work if thick.\u201d Some synthetic if thick- carefully constructed can look good [https://shop-links.co/cjScbV1akd2](https://shop-links.co/cjScbV1akd2)\n\n&#x200B;\n\nThe polyester debate:\n\n* Polyester: Durable, easy to care for, good shape retention, lightweight, elastic, strong, crisp and resilient wet or dry, resists wrinkles, dries quickly. Does not absorb moisture well, pills easily, attracts odors. Difficult to iron, but doesn\u2019t require much ironing. Newer will resist pilling, wick moisture, emulate silk.\n* \u201cI frequently buy polyester, particularly chiffon, silk, and satin polyester. Poly has a bad rep for valid reasons (not great for sweat, harmful to the environment), but wearing something for years and never seeing the color fade or the fabric pill, never having to iron it, never needing to dry clean it - those reasons are more than enough for me to claim it as my favorite fabric.\u201d\n* Versus: \u201coften relatively inexpensive, sturdy and easy to care for. However, I tend to dislike the look and feel of most 100% polyester chiffon, crepe, or satin, so i usually won't buy those.\u201d\n* My favourite polyester fabric is the crepe one that Aritzia does - it\u2019s thick and feels like silk (I pet my pants when I\u2019m wearing them).\n* \u201cPolyester gets an unfair bad rap. There's a polyester like Uniqlo Airism which is light, cool to the skin, breathable, and quick-drying. And there's a Shein polyester blouse that feels like a plastic bag.\u201d\n* \u201cFor polyester, I only buy online if it\u2019s cheap and easy to return.\u201d\n* \u201cI generally only buy polyester for athletic wear.\u201d\n* \u201cPet peeve I absolutely hate polyester scarves. Too shine-y and they do not drape well and they get unknotted. I am not a material snob about everything but with scarves I am. I do not like viscose or modal scarves either, for other reasons, but I hate those a little less than polyester.\u201d\n* \u201cUniqlo has some great polyester fabrics like Airism and Extra Warm Heattech. Most of their cotton is good. I have some of their cotton dresses that I can hang dry and they barely wrinkle. But their silk, linen and rayon is lower quality. My thrifted silk and linen pieces from Talbots are way better quality.\u201d\n\n&#x200B;\n\nThe rayon/viscose debate (VERY NUANCED!)\n\n* Note: while Tencel's modal and lyocell are technically rayon, they are newer, generated far differently (better for environment), and far different structurally (improved properties versus old rayon). When people say \"rayon\" - (including below), they typically are referring to the old (1891) version .\n* \"Viscose and rayon are essentially the same thing, but viscose has a longer fiber.\"\n* \"Never Rayon or viscose\" - wrinkly, twisted hems, terrible after first wash. Unnatural looking wrinkles.\n* Rayon: \"Freaking rayon shrinks every time I don't hand wash it but it doesn't have magical odor resistant properties like merino, so it actually needs to be washed pretty often.\u201d\n* \"I hang everything to dry and do laundry 3x/week. It wrinkles if you look at it wrong. Rayon is famous for being literally the most wrinkly fabric aside from linen. It\u2019s also very structurally weak and prone to wearing out faster.\"\n* \"I live in the tropics so my \u201ccool\u201d or \u201ccold\u201d water is warm at best in the summer. CANNOT TELL YOU how many rayon items have been washed and come out child sized.\"\n* Conversely: \"I NEVER understand the hate on rayon - in my experience it washes great, doesn't wrinkle, and holds up for a long time. I have rayon shirts and skirts from over five years ago that look brand new. super underrated fabric imo\"\n* \"Yes, it is a delicate fabric. It does wear out if subject to repeated friction, and it tears easily. So does silk! Delicate fabric is not necessarily bad. It's great for summer because it's very breathable.\"\n* \"I have very mixed experiences with rayon. Some of it holds up beautifully, but I\u2019ve also had rayon where the color faded after just a few washes and it pilled like crazy.\"\n* \"I don't wear a lot of rayon, but I prefer rayon or a rayon blend over other silk replacements. I haven't had any problem machine washing it, but I also specifically choose pieces that are labeled machine washable.\"\n* \"If you don't use a dryer, there will be some creases from the spin cycle. Again, the length of time it is creased plays a role. If you handwash and immediately hang up, or you get it as soon as the washer stops, you can basically smooth out the wrinkles with your hand (except hems on a bias can get twisted). But air dried linen and rayon won't be as soft as it is when it come out of the dryer. If it sits in the washing machine after a spin cycle, the creases will definitely need to be ironed out.\"\n* \"The vintage rayon slips I have will still last a very long time.\"\n* \"I love rayon and viscose. The tight weave that looks similar to cotton has a wonderful drape. It holds dye better than cotton. The trick is buying it oversized, then washing it and expecting shrink. Rayon skirts, dresses, and blouses are wonderfully light and breezy in the summer time. Personally I wash it and take it out of the dryer IMMEDIATELY and it doesn't need to be ironed. It only needs ironing if you let it get crumpled in a pile.\"\n* Viscose - unflattering cling, wrinkles way too much, requires steaming/maintenance.\n* Viscose: \u201cuseless and flimsy as that ridiculous fabric. It shrinks with any water, reacts poorly to sweat, is probably the least durable material I can think of\u201d\n* \u201cIt has always pilled super quickly for me and it never feels or looks the same after the first wash. Though I'll admit I own a few pieces that are blends\u2026 25% or less viscose content. They seem to do ok, but I like natural fibers (cotton, wool, linen) much better.\u201d\n* \u201dmost of the time steam it before wear, and it will be wrinkly after a few hours.\u201d\n\n&#x200B;\n\nSynthetics most people recommend against:\n\n* Acrylic - staunch advocates against. Microplastics, do not regulate temperature, \u201cMake a sweater look immediately cheaply made 90% of the time to me. Once you get an eye for acrylic, you\u2019ll know right away.\u201d \u201cmake my hair super staticky\u2026 pill like crazy as soon as they're washed. Hard pass on acrylic sweaters.\u201d \u201cAcrylic seems to be the worst for pilling and polyester comes a close second. And some wool blends pill.\u201d\u201d\n* Avoid Acrylic knits - only looks good a few wears - then dingy and misshapen. Soft, warm wool replacement, can machine wash, spun to replicate cotton, do not absorb moisture, shrink, pill easily. Resists damage/wrinkles, dries quickly. Monoacrylic - fleece or faux fur. Durable, warm, pill and mat easily.\n* Conversely: \u201cSo, Simons (a department store in Canada) sells acrylic sweaters and winter accessories made of 100% acrylic in Germany\u2026 10 years ago. I treated them like real wool, washed in cloth bags, air dry, no strong agitation. They are still in good shape, and have developed a soft fuzzy halo like alpaca, with minimal pillings. A few good winter brands also use acrylic like Kombi and Bula. I guess I got lucky because my positive experience with synthetic fibres is thank to responsible and reputable retailers.\u201d\n* Acetate\n\n&#x200B;\n\nAs you can see, this isn't \"complete\" - more of a work in progress.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_15qbn41", "text": "**Let\u2019s talk workwear!**  Appropriate clothing for the office/interviews seems to be a common question around here, and it\u2019s been a minute since the sidebar post was updated.  I thought I\u2019d write an update here based on about 15 years \u201cin the trenches\u201d of an office, minus a year for Covid.  Since Covid, the median office\u2019s dress code has skewed more casual, but there are still plenty of offices that have set dress codes.  Here\u2019s a quick (or not lol) primer on what to expect.  Some disclaimers - obviously, I\u2019m writing from my own perspective and from my observations.  If your context/country differs, please comment!  I feel confident that the following tips are good *general* guidelines, but there will (of course) be exceptions.  Some basics about me that shape my perspective:\n\n* I\u2019m a college professor in my mid-30s, and my department dress code hovers over the more formal half of the \u201cbusiness casual\u201d spectrum.  I need to dress in business formal 1-2 times a year.  I also co-own a small, boutique consulting firm, and dress in the same clothes I wear to my \u201cday job\u201d to meet with those clients.\n* My university is located downtown in a large American city.\n* My goals for workwear are to 1) look current and 2) avoid looking explicitly dated.  I don\u2019t try to be aggressively trendy with my workwear, but I\u2019m not opposed to incorporating trends if they suit my needs and tastes.  These are not everyone\u2019s goals, which is fine!\n\nIn general, I believe that it\u2019s a good idea to conform to your office\u2019s dress code without pushing the boundaries too much, especially if you\u2019re earlier in your career.  \u201cI want to wear what I want!\u201d or \u201cI can probably get away with this!\u201d can be a satisfying approach in the short term, but is unlikely to be satisfying in the long term (at least at most workplaces).  Even if you\u2019re never directly approached by HR, dressing outside of the norm for your office can have negative consequences on how you\u2019re perceived behind the scenes, especially if your office is more on the formal side.  This is particularly true for women/female-presenting folks.  **It\u2019s not right or fair,** but in my view, it\u2019s better to know the rules of the game so you can weigh the consequences of breaking them, at your own risk and in your own context.\n\n**Common dress codes** (note: in practice, there can be some overlap in these categories.  Also, remember - your office may vary a bit, these are general guidelines):\n\n* **No dress code/WFH**: Your main considerations for this dress code are typically 1) what you feel best/most productive/most comfortable in, and/or 2) how you express your personal style, without the constraints of outside rules.  There are some great resources out there on finding your personal style, which could be helpful if you\u2019re struggling with this one.\n* **Uniform**: I won\u2019t be directly talking about this one as your choices are fairly set already, but the section on current silhouettes might be helpful if you have some freedom here.\n* **Smart casual**: Sometimes called polished casual.  This dress code tends to be similar to business casual in the tops, but can incorporate jeans.  Jeans should not be torn/distressed/embellished, and are often in mid to dark blue or black.  Knee-length trouser shorts are typically ok here, but not in biz caz.  You\u2019ve got more room to play in this category than you do in the next two, but in general, clothes should still be polished and neat (by this I generally mean washed and not torn).  A smart sneaker is generally ok here.\n* **Business casual**:  For women, this typically includes slacks, blouses, knits, blazers, dresses, and skirts.  Pumps, loafers, and some flats are common shoe choices here.  In general, it excludes open-toed shoes, shorts, jeans, sleeveless, and skirts/dresses above the knee.   You\u2019ve got some room to play with silhouettes and colors/patterns/accessories to express your own style here, but not as much as in smart casual.  In reality, there\u2019s a wide range of \u201cnormal\u201d that varies by office and region in this category.\n* **Business formal**:  Less common than it used to be, but still the norm in a small number of industries.  Typically includes a full suit or a dress/jacket combo.  Cuts are traditional and colors are (usually) more muted (think black, white, camel, navy, gray, burgundy, forest green).  Not a ton of room for creativity here, especially if you\u2019re earlier in your career.  In reality, the few people I know who regularly have to wear this use stylists to pick their work clothes.\n\n**Looking Current: Macrotrends vs. Microtrends**This tends to be the category that gets the most questions and pushback.  Here\u2019s the thing - you don\u2019t have to aim for \u201ccurrent\u201d if you don\u2019t want or need to.  Looking current doesn\u2019t make you a better or worse person.  However, neither does intentionally bucking trends.  What do I mean by \u201ccurrent\u201d?  Generally, I\u2019m using the word to distinguish between macrotrends and microtrends.  Macrotrends are cycles in clothing influences/silhouettes that filter through every 5-10 years.  Microtrends cycle through much more quickly, and are typically more \u201cniche\u201d (think of -core trends on TikTok here).  *Looking current/following macrotrends in my hair/clothes/makeup is important to me because it communicates to clients and other stakeholders that I\u2019m aware of larger conversations happening in culture, and I\u2019m able to understand those social cues.*  If that\u2019s not a valuable consideration in your context and you don\u2019t care, that\u2019s ok and you can skip the next section.  Macrotrends tend to influence the cut of our basics, like jeans or a white button up shirt - for example, although a white shirt is often listed as a \u201ctimeless basic,\u201d the cut of that shirt was very different in 2003 vs. 2023.  The current white shirt you\u2019re wearing today will likely look dated in ten years - that\u2019s normal!\n\n**Current Workwear Silhouettes:**\\*for work separates, I\u2019m a fan of contrast - either a slightly oversized top with a slimmer bottom, or a slightly oversized/wide leg bottom with a slimmer top.  I love a good oversized top/oversized bottom look, but I keep it to my off hours.\n\n* **Bottoms**: generally, pants have loosened up in the past few years.  Wide leg trousers, cropped or full length, are great for workwear with a more fitted (not skintight) top.  Bootcut and straight leg cuts are also current.  Skinnies are explicitly dated in most regions now (I know they\u2019re having a low rise microtrend moment, but in order for that to look current, you have to be meticulous about your styling and are likely not getting advice from this post lol).  If you love skinnies and are nervous about branching out, try a slim straight cut first - it\u2019s similar to a skinny, but opens up more from the knee down.  For all styles, any rise (from low, mid, to high) is ok.  Midi and maxi skirts are making a comeback, and pleated midis are having a moment right now.\n* **Tops**: lots of styles work here, although in general, tops are trending a bit oversized when paired with straight leg pants, and a bit cropped when paired with wide leg pants.  In this context, I\u2019m using \u201ccropped\u201d to mean a top or sweater that\u2019s shorter in length and covers the top of your waistband by a couple of inches (showing midriff at work is not allowed with most dress codes).  In reality, the tops you choose will likely be shaped by the silhouettes of your trousers.\n* **Blazers**: for the past few years, blazer shapes have become looser, more structured, and longer.  Double-breasted styles have been popular. Blazer shapes seem to be getting a bit less oversized now and single-breasted styles are becoming more common again, but double-breasted styles are still current (just make sure that they fit you well through the shoulder and in the sleeve length, otherwise, \u201coversized\u201d can become \u201csloppy\u201d).\n* **Shoes**: Lots of room to play here, as well.  Loafers, round toe ballet flats/block heels, Mary Janes (heeled or not) are all current choices.  Pumps aren\u2019t super current, but they\u2019re also not dated as long as they\u2019re not sky-high stilettos (I still have a couple pairs of pumps that I wear with certain looks).  Lug soles/chunky soles have been popular the last few years, and aren\u2019t explicitly dated yet, but are moving towards a sleeker silhouette.\n* **Hair and makeup**: Hair styling and makeup (if you wear it) also make a huge difference in looking current, but are outside of the scope of this post!  Finding a good hair stylist who can give current advice on your hair type/texture is a great place to start.\n* Combining items from these current categories, most of my work outfits tend to be either 1) wide-legged, full length trousers with either a slightly cropped untucked sweater or a fitted, tucked in top, with a slightly chunky loafer, or 2) slim straight pants with a silk tank and a slightly oversized, double-breasted blazer and some kind of low block heel.  Always with jewelry.\n\n\\*\\*Advice if you\u2019re starting a new job:\\*\\*Don\u2019t buy a lot right away!  As we\u2019ve seen, dress code categories contain a wide range of looks.  You\u2019ll get a better vibe for your particular office once you\u2019re there.  For example, sleeveless tops are typically a \u201cno\u201d for a business casual dress code.  However, I\u2019ve found that lots of offices allow these in practice as long as the straps are thick and it\u2019s not skintight.

You can start with one or two pairs of versatile bottoms and pair them with tops you likely already own, and then wait until you get your first few paychecks before buying more.\n\nPart 2 will cover incorporating your own personal style and lifestyle considerations into workwear,  creating a cohesive work wardrobe, and an album!\n\nThoughts?

I'm hoping to get some advice here on how y'all femme-leaning sapphic folks signal queerness while being true to your own personal style.\n\nI came out a few years ago and have since struggled with figuring out how to not immediately get read as straight, which I've learned is a common problem for those of us (esp those who aren't white) on the more femme presenting side. My style is very curated and minimalist and while pretty on-trend right now, it feels incompatible with a lot of suggestions I've gotten, such as wearing accessories with rainbows or lesbian flag colors or dying my hair bright colors (I'm Black, my hair cannot handle it and it's also just not for me).\n\nNone of these suggestions are things that feel very true to me or my style, and I'm at a loss of how to do this \"signaling\" thing. This might be my internalized homophobia coming out, but I just don't resonate with wearing rainbow/lesbian flag stuff. I also find it deeply frustrating trying to conform to white queer standards of presentation that I don't connect with. I feel great in the clothes I have invested in and the style I've developed for myself, and get a lot of compliments, but I'm still wondering if there's a way I can feel more like I'm \"part of the club\" in a way that feels authentic.\n\nI do wear a carabiner with my keys on my pants/jeans regularly, but that's also a very common thing among all kinds of women in my urban, east coast city. I don't wear a ton of makeup, I never have my nails done, and I do have Doc-adjacent boots I wear a lot...but I don't know if those things really help, considering lots of straight women also do.\n\ntl;dr -- I'm pretty snobby about my personal style and don't want to walk around covered in rainbows, how do I still signal to others that I'm queer?\n\nEDIT: Wow thank you for all the responses, I posted this to vent and wasn't expecting to get so much advice and support!\n\nI realize I didn't do a great job at describing my style, as \"minimalist\" can be definitely be quite vague. My style is very informed by the 90s minimalist resurgence happening right now, with a lot of clean lines, slim/straight silhouettes, and understated bags/jewelry (hence the trouble with finding a way to thoughtfully incorporate queer-coded accessories). I tend to stick to 1-2 colors max in an outfit and love to do a monochrome look with different textures to add interest. I pull a lot of inspo from the usual designer icons of the time period (Calvin Klein, Helmut Lang, Jil Sander, Issey Miyake). I'm excited that this look is really trending right now and I know there are tons of queer folks who also like it, it can just feel a bit difficult to not go full \"alt\" in an attempt to signal queerness, esp because I'm pretty femme and love to wear dresses and skirts.", "author": "anon_e74f459e", "created_utc": 1690164860, "created_iso": "2023-07-24T02:14:20Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/femalefashionadvice/comments/157xds0/signaling_queerness_while_maintaining_personal/", "community": "femalefashionadvice", "score": 228, "parent_id": null, "title": "Signaling queerness while maintaining personal style", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "_topics", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-17T00:00:00Z"}
{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_11cp9nb", "text": "Do you feel stale? Is your wardrobe a little tired? Are the fashionable styles increasingly different from your own wardrobe? Is the last time you went shopping 10 years ago? Do you find yourself uttering the phrase \u201ccold dead hands\u201d in the same sentence as \u201cskinny jeans\u201d?\n\u00a0\n\n\nYou might be a Millennial with an outdated wardrobe. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\nIt\u2019s not a sin - if you still feel fun, fresh, and comfortable in your wardrobe, that\u2019s cool, and feel free to click away. No one\u2019s taking away your skinny jeans. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\nIf, however, you\u2019re wondering how to update your wardrobe, make it feel a little fresher, and look more current, then you\u2019re in the right place. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe important thing to know is that a wardrobe update doesn\u2019t mean that you need to throw away all your clothes and start over - unless that\u2019s what you desire. You can update some key pieces and restyle some old ones in order to refresh your wardrobe and keep up with the times. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\nThe other thing to keep in mind is that wanting to be more current, and updating your wardrobe doesn\u2019t mean you need to dress like a teenager. Nor does wanting a current wardrobe mean you\u2019re desperately trying to look 20. It\u2019s about being interested in style and wanting to remain current, stylish, and even - god forbid - trendy. Being interested in fashion and wanting to look modern isn\u2019t just for the kids.\u00a0 \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n#Step 1 - Skinny jeans\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\nWe all know why you\u2019re here, skinny jeans and your cold dead hands. Skinny jeans have become somewhat of a security blanket for a lot of people. It was the dominant silhouette for so long, and a lot of our wardrobes have been created around that. However, just like your college boyfriend, just because it\u2019s comfortable and you met them when you were 20, it doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re married to them until you die. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n##Keeping your skinnies\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOf course, no one is forcing anyone to give up their skinny jeans. Contrary to popular belief, the trend police will not break into your house to take them away, and your cold dead hands are safe, they needn\u2019t be deployed. If you\u2019re not going to replace them, then you can use a different styling approach. Styling them the same way you have been for 15 years will inevitably feel stale and old-fashioned. But that can be remedied by making some changes and tweaking other elements in your wardrobe. \n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you\u2019re wearing skinny jeans,\n\u00a0\n\n##Don\u2019t do this:\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThese are examples that *together* create looks that can feel a little stale, old-fashioned, and less than fresh. Just like skinny jeans, it doesn\u2019t mean that you have to throw away these things, but maybe don\u2019t style them together, in the exact same way you did in 2010. \n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n###1 Low/mid waist\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nExample: [low rise look](https://akns-images.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/201634/rs_634x1024-160404113513-634.Lauren-Conrad-Lo-Rise-Skinny-jeans.jl.040416.jpg?fit=around%7C776:1254&output-quality=90&crop=776:1254;center,top) \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWell, what\u2019s wrong with low/mid-rise? And wait, isn\u2019t low rise coming back in style? Yes, it is. Just not in skinny jeans. When the pants style changes (every 15 to 20 years), that usually brings a change in silhouette. In this case, we have moved from skinny bottom, oversized top, to skinny top, oversized bottom. \n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn that case, wearing a slim, cropped shirt and low-rise, wide-leg pants is an outfit with a nice balance, that is meant to emphasize the midriff. Wearing the same cropped outfit with low-rise skinny jeans throws off the visual balance and just ends up looking like you\u2019ve outgrown your clothes because both elements are tight.\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeeing as tucking a shirt in or wearing a more cropped, boxy top is currently in style, that also poses a problem with mid or low rises, because they are [very awkward to tuck into](https://c4.staticflickr.com/6/5460/30851893355_a148f001a1_o.jpg). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOnce again, it disrupts the proportions and the visual balance. Tucking into low or mid rise skinny pants forces a 50/50 proportion that is both unnatural and not out of left field enough to be avant-garde. It\u2019s [just awkward](https://www.herstylecode.com/2021/04/how-to-style-low-rise-jeans-low-rise-jeans-outfit-ideas-for-women_herstylecode-1.jpg). \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n###2 Tunics/long sweaters\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExample: [tunic top look](https://www.puttingmetogether.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/maroon-tunic-leopard-scarf-fall-outfit-03-2-scaled.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\nAgain, an issue of silhouette. Wearing skinny jeans with a tunic is probably your comfort zone, and while there\u2019s nothing wrong with that, it\u2019s not going to read as modern or stylish. If that\u2019s your goal, then I\u2019d avoid pairing skinnies with any kind of long top. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u201cSkinny jeans and a nice top\u201d can still be your go-to, but consider updating the style of the top. A top with more structure and more waist emphasis will read more modern than a long, loose, shapeless top. If you\u2019re still keen on covering the derriere, then a boxy, oversized sweater or top with structure is a fresher alternative. \n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n###3 Thin long cardigans\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nExample: [look with long cardigan](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/79/c1/24/79c124f9856b1b5e0e9503de421c234d.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nCardigans made out of thin materials have never been especially flattering, because they tend to cling. It also makes it difficult to layer underneath them. The slimmer and thinner the cardigan, the bulkier the layers under it. A long, unstructured cardigan over skinny jeans is also an outdated silhouette. There are still duster cardigans out there, but they\u2019re heavier, chunkier, and a little more oversized, occasionally with a tie waist. They allow layering and look more structured and less boho. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n###4 Ballet flats\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nExample: [ballet flat outfit](https://jljbacktoclassic.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Janis-Lyn-Johnson-Talbots-Denim-Shirt-Louis-Vuitton-Speedy.png)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGrab your tutus, ballet flats are actually coming back into fashion. But paired with skinny jeans, the look is straight out of 2010. Thin soles and light, \u201cnothing\u201d-type shoes are definitely not the freshest style (yes, that includes Rothys, but that\u2019s a conversation for next time), but they can still be passable with a more modern pants cut - preferably something straight or wide leg, and cropped. [The new ballet flats](https://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/article/ballet-pumps-ss23) are also more dance-inspired, with specific detailing, so the round toe Tory Burch flats from 2008 are not exactly cutting edge. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n###5 Low ankle boots\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nExample: [low ankle boots outfit](https://cdn.lookastic.com/looks/vest-turtleneck-skinny-jeans-large-36449.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nLike ballet flats, the time of low ankle boots has come and gone. Once, skinny jeans and ankle boots were the power couple of the early 2010s, now it\u2019s just what middle-aged moms wear out to date night at Cheesecake Factory. And there\u2019s nothing wrong with any of that! But the ankle boot has also had a makeover - the shaft is higher, the heel is thicker, and the sole is chunkier. The Cheesecake Factory regulars won\u2019t know what hit them.\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n###6 Tight knee high/OTK boots\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\nExample: [OTK boots look](https://www.stylecraze.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/13.-With-Skinny-Jeans-And-Knee-Length-Boots.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nI know skinny jeans and slim over the knee boots go together like peanut butter and jelly. And they did - for years and years. Which is precisely why that particular combination will read as dated. You can still keep both, just change up the styling, and don\u2019t pair them together. Knee high boots are back in style, but instead of a 2010s slim riding boot, it\u2019s [a wider, more generous cut with a chunkier sole](https://sheerluxe.com/sites/sheerluxe/files/styles/square_small/public/articles/2021/10/chunky-boots-trend-hero.jpg?itok=rJyQxw3y). The OTK boots can also still be worn, but rather with a mini skirt/dress, a slim midi skirt, or a pair of winter-weight shorts, like leather or tweed. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n###7 Graphic tees\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nExample: [graphic t-shirt look](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0225/2669/articles/starshell_birthday_girl_birthday_outfit_birthday_gift_247941b9-86e8-431e-bffd-173b156bc815_2048x.png)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf anything in your house or wardrobe says \u201cLive, Laugh, Love\u201d, I urge you to get rid of it immediately. Same with any saying related to coffee or the word \u201cvibe\u201d. You\u2019ll thank me later. \n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNow, I\u2019m not saying you can\u2019t wear graphic t-shirts with skinny jeans. I\u2019m saying the type of graphic t-shirt has changed a lot over the last 15 years. The slim fit, tiny sleeve crew neck t-shirts with flowery Etsy font is dead, you can downgrade it to the shirts you wear when you\u2019re cleaning or painting. So is the thin, loose, cropped, 80s t-shirt that says \u201cBridesmaid\u201d. \n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInstead, an oversized and boxy, OR straight fit t-shirt is [the more modern and current option](https://nybreaking.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/1674890613_542_Levis-CEO-says-skinny-jeans-are-brands-biggest-sellers-despite.jpg). Neither long nor short, neither wide nor tight, a comfortably loose t-shirt with a regular short sleeve is a perfect basic, non-offensive choice for any woman of any age. If it has to have a graphic, make it a band tee. Not something that says \u201cNamaste\u201d. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n###8 Big slouchy bags\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nExample: [big purse outfit](https://www.puttingmetogether.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/whitelushtunicoldnavydistressedjeansoutfit01-683x1024.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe LV Neverfull is a practical bag, I know, but wearing it with cropped skinny jeans and ballet flats looks like you\u2019re cosplaying Christian Girl Autumn 10 years too late. A canvas tote bag is a more modern choice, or a sleek leather backpack. You\u2019ve got both the comfort and the style. For smaller bags and needs, an uncertain-shaped cross-body is also going to date your outfit. Try to be more intentional with the bag choice and shape. Something more structured, with a top handle (as well as a cross body strap) is a fresher choice. Or a small, perhaps embellished, backpack.\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n##Do this instead:\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI would like to first preface this by saying that you do not have to do ALL of these. These are also not mandates. They\u2019re options. I picked a few different categories where updating other elements of your outfit can make skinny jeans feel less stale in 2023, something for everyone. \n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n###1 High waist\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nExample: [high-waisted look]\n(https://media.theeverygirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/the-everygirl-skinny-jeans-900-1200.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nUpdating the rise is the easiest way to bring your skinnies into 2023. A higher rise gives you some new and modern styling options, including tucking tops into your jeans or wearing tops that are more cropped - t-shirts, shirts, blouses, hoodies, jackets - they all look better with a higher rise to balance out the silhouette. High waisted jeans make your legs look longer, they emphasize the waist, and are comfortable to sit in, since the waist should hit at your natural waist, *above* your stomach, and not cutting into it. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n###2 Full length hems\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nExample: [full length skinnies outfit](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/ee/b0/3a/eeb03a9805920ee1f91b3691b833b5b0.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nAnother style element that betrays the age of your skinny jeans is that outdated, scrunched or cropped look. This may very well be a matter of opinion, but cropped skinny jeans don\u2019t work as well as other cropped styles. Because they\u2019re so tight, it visually strangles your calf instead of highlighting the ankle and has the opposite effect. The overly long, scrunched look is not just outdated, it\u2019s a sign your jeans don\u2019t fit well. Petites, hem your skinny jeans - or buy the cropped ones as full length). Full length skinnies have a more streamlined look and work better with any type of shoe. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n###3 Belts\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nExample: [belted skinnies look](https://cdn.lookastic.com/looks/dress-shirt-skinny-jeans-bandana-original-32420.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nA high rise goes great with a belt, both to highlight your waist - if that\u2019s the look you\u2019re after - and to serve as an extra accessory and styling device. Belting your jeans can tie in your shoes or bag in a nice way, or it can visually break up a fit that needs a little extra something-something. Be advised that belting a pair of pants that do not sit at your waist will emphasize your hips or stomach, so if you\u2019re not keen on making that area seem wider, then avoid belting and/or tucking into mid or low rise bottoms.\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n###4 Cropped cardigans\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nExample: [boxy cardi look](https://cdn.cliqueinc.com/posts/291678/madewell-basics-reviews-291678-1613597254143-image.700x0c.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s time to let go of this weird notion that a cropped silhouette is only for 15 year-olds. A cropped top, shirt, cardigan, jacket, etc. is simply a change in silhouette and proportion and it does not - I repeat, it does *not* mean that you\u2019re necessarily showing off your midriff or that it\u2019s a strictly \u201cyouthful\u201d style. \n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe key to incorporating a cropped element is to pair it with high rise bottoms - in this case, your skinnies. Styling them with an opposite style cardigan - short and bulky, instead of long and thin - automatically freshens up the look and brings them into 2023. High rise + crop shirt is an excellent way to emphasize the waist or create an hourglass or pear silhouette. Like a belt, the \u201cbreak\u201d in the outfit can be a much needed styling element to take the outfit from basic to stylish. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n###5 Oversized blazers\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nExample: [oversized blazer outfit](https://media.vogue.mx/photos/62155a20700ff81dbaf0137a/master/pass/skinny-jeans-con-botas-modelos-street-style.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRaise your hand if you wore skinny jeans, low cut ankle boots and a blazer in 2010. I\u2019m not knocking it, it\u2019s a good look, but when worn all together, it dates you. But you can update the look by swapping out the blazer with a more current, oversized style. An oversized blazer vs. a shorter, slimmer fit one from the 2010s makes great contrast with the tightness of the pants and it gives the outfit a cooler, slightly masculine edge. While an all-tight outfit can look a little try-hard, an oversized element makes it a little cooler and more modern. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n###6 Tucked in tops\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\n\nExample: [tucked in look](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/08/92/c7/0892c747539c951a79e3513520cc55b0.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTucking is one of my favorite styling choices and I can\u2019t find much fault with it. In fact, it may very well make skinny jeans look modern. Like belts and crop tops, tucking in a shirt achieves the same waist emphasis we\u2019re going for and it pulls away from the outdated lowrise + muffin top + long shirt look of the 2010s. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n###7 Chunky shoes\n\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExample: [platform boots look](https://tokyofashion.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Plaid-Unif-Dr-Martens-Harajuku-20160319DSC5961.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShoes can totally transform an outfit, including taking it from 2013 to 2023. No one\u2019s trying to take away your heeled ankle boots, but consider pairing those with a cropped straight leg instead, and swap them out for a pair of chunky loafers or platform boot in a skinny jean outfit. Same with ballet flats, let\u2019s mix and match trends and decades instead of doing The Greatest Hits of 2011 from head to toe. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n###8 Voluminous tops\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nExample: [voluminous top outfit](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57a37eb520099e5233bca0e2/1611597298576-QMNSYBG4SGMMLHZ7N9S9/blue-med-skinny-jeans-black-top-white-bag-clutch-black-shoe-sandalh-brun-hoops-sheer-trend-spring-summer-dinner-puffsleeves.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSo we said no long tops - what do we do for \u201cnice\u201d tops, instead? There are a few different details that make for a modern top. Volume is one of the key words, so a top that is short and boxy OR that has [voluminous sleeves](https://publish.purewow.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/best-plus-size-jeans-asos-collusion-x-005.png?fit=728%2C921) OR a voluminous collar, etc. Very feminine corset tops are also very popular, with or without sleeves or straps. Square necklines are extremely flattering on everyone and can be the one feature on an otherwise completely basic top that can have long sleeves or be tucked into the pants, etc. As for sweaters, [bulky wins over slim fitting](https://bergereinrock.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/inspirations-fall-mood-grey-knit-steetstyle-theworldofbergere.jpg) for a modern look. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n##Alternatives to skinny jeans\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you\u2019re ready to move on and see what else is out there, then a world of new styles awaits you. You\u2019ll be surprised at how much variety and excitement you can add to your wardrobe with one simple jean style swap. The beautiful thing about transitional periods in fashion is that there\u2019s something for everybody. There is no primary cut or style, so you can find anything. Slim, baggy, wide leg, bell bottoms, bootcuts, high rise, low, or mid, it\u2019s all out there, and you can make any of them work for you. \n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n###Straight leg jeans\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA good alternative are straight leg jeans and pants - the shape is not a huge departure from your usual, while still being more modern. Straight leg jeans still allow for some of your longer tops to be worn without looking baggy from top to bottom, you can still wear them with higher boots if you want, and they\u2019re not very adventurous, which means they\u2019re never the focus of the outfit itself. \n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThey can play it safe and be quietly understated to support other, more interesting design elements, whether it\u2019s a big sleeve, a bold color, a collar, a ruffle, interesting buttons, or other detailing on your top, coat, or accessories. This style can still be successfully worn with a boxier or longer sweater, for example, without looking outdated. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nExample: \n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 [straight leg 1](https://cdn.themomedit.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Mom-JEeans-683x1024.jpg)\n\n\n\n2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 [straight leg 2](https://media.glamour.com/photos/5e74fa8beb9d3c0008bb0819/master/w_2214,h_3100,c_limit/GettyImages-1159253514.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 [straight leg 3](https://www.datocms-assets.com/39109/1657276378-french-girl.jpeg?auto=format&fit=max&w=1200)\n\n\n\n\n4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 [straight leg 4](https://www.uniqlo.com/in/en/news/topics/2021011201/img/mimg_1_l.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 [straight leg 5](https://publish.purewow.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/10/black-jeans-outfit-blouse-and-block-heels.png?resize=720%2C780)\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n###Mom jeans\n\n\n\n\n\nMom jeans are the cut that largely replaced skinny jeans back in 2015-2016. Favored because they\u2019re very high waisted, with more room in the hips, and a flattering, conical shape, they are as comfortable as they are durable, owing to their rigid, 100% cotton fabric. However, because of the lack of elastane in their composition, mom jeans are trickier to size, so a few shopping trips may be necessary. \n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nFor skinny jeans wearers, the familiar thing with mom jeans is that they retain the high waist, and you\u2019re still showing off your shoes, as they\u2019re closely cut around the ankle, and usually a little cropped. Like straight leg jeans, an oversized, untucked top can still look good and fresh with this cut because of the conical shape. They slim down towards the ankle, giving the leg a little shape that contrasts with the baggy top, if you don\u2019t want to go for a loose-on-loose silhouette. \n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nExample:\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 [mom jeans 1](https://i0.wp.com/myparisianlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/french-white-button-down-shirt.jpg?resize=467%2C700&ssl=1)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 [mom jeans 2](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d8/4f/9f/d84f9fee8f9989809b50348b5dba85ab.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 [mom jeans 3](https://shodamia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Mon-jeans-outfit-1.png)\n\n\n\n\n\n4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 [mom jeans 4](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/56/22/aa/5622aa2a872572dfc986c7a918d9ccd1.png)\n\n\n\n\n\n5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 [mom jeans 5](https://i.styleoholic.com/2022/10/a-simple-and-classy-fall-look-with-a-mellow-yellow-jumper-blue-mom-jeans-white-sneakers-and-a-burgundy-backpack.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n###Wide leg jeans\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe other prominent cut that arose in the meantime are wide leg jeans, which are very much a total departure from skinny jeans, in terms of shape and style. However, they have become extremely popular, even among older Millennials, because they\u2019re very comfortable. \n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHigh waisted, with a lot of room in the hips and leg, wide leg jeans allow for free movement and completely eliminate the constricted feeling skinny jeans can sometimes be guilty of. Usually cropped, they still allow you to show off your shoes, and are surprisingly versatile. They can be successfully worn with boots, sandals, loafers, birks, heels, or flats - they go with pretty much anything. Personally, I prefer them with boots. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExample: \n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 [wide leg jeans 1](https://styleyouroccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/How-To-Style-Wide-Leg-Jeans-@netaporter-1-e1656534096432.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 [wide leg jeans 2](https://images.summitmedia-digital.com/preview/images/2021/12/02/1-wide-leg-denim-jeans-iamsarahkim.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 [wide leg jeans 3](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/CtMFUkN5Sg83e2znNky6Pci0uPk/fit-in/2048xorig/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2019/08/28/184/n/1922564/58c3987ef7d35be6_GettyImages-1148477031/i/Style-Your-T-Shirt-With-Jeans-Sandals.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 [wide leg jeans 4](https://media.vogue.fr/photos/5c360f59fd49f65e3bca73d1/master/w_2580%2Cc_limit/paris_fw_day9__20181002_3500_jpg_1091_jpeg_7543.jpeg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 [wide leg jeans 5](https://cdn.cliqueinc.com/posts/286637/what-shoes-to-wear-with-wide-leg-jeans-286637-1586289116851-image.700x0c.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n###Flared jeans\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHowever, you can also obtain some of the same effects as skinnies with bootcut or flared pants. When you think about it, flared pants aren\u2019t all that different. Yes, the flare at the bottom is a change in silhouette and it\u2019s more visual interest than you\u2019re used to having with pants. However, the top is very much still the same fit as skinny jeans, if what you\u2019re concerned about is losing a \u201cflattering\u201d shape around your waist/butt/thighs. Flares tend to be the same skinny shape on top, and still have elastane. \n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe only thing you\u2019re trading in is the way you\u2019re pairing your shoes. The longer hems visually elongate the legs, but they do usually cover the shoes, so more thought will need to be put into that. Heels work best paired with flared pants, but with the chunky, platform styles of today, flats can also be worn successfully with bootcut and flared, and wide leg pants, even without dragging and stepping on your hems.\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExample: \n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 [flared jeans 1](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/looksmodafashion--825566175459560011/)\n\n\n\n\n\n2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 [flared jeans 2](https://i.styleoholic.com/2021/08/a-simple-work-outfit-with-a-black-chunky-knit-sweater-black-flare-jeans-and-boots-and-a-black-tote.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 [flared jeans 3](https://i.pinimg.com/750x/f8/1e/9b/f81e9b123ded9572bbbcffb608ee81ca.jpg)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 [flared jeans 4](https://chasingdaisiesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/0b597f63f4505c92e53ca195d0672e3a.jpg.webp)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 [flared jeans 5](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/dd/4e/d6/dd4ed6ca88831fd9d3d63415e4ab8ec6.jpg)\n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\nI\u2019d also like to make a note that hair, makeup, and general styling (like jewelry) also make a big impact in the way outfits are perceived. With a modern, intentional haircut, any outfit automatically reads are more stylish, instead of just the first thing you grabbed that looked like pants.\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u00a0\nMakeup plays an equally big role. Overplucked eyebrows made an entire generation of women look like they were stuck in the past, as does harsh contouring, and other major elements of hair and makeup, like thick, blocky eyebrows. The Kate Gosselin haircut, the too-light blonde hair curled with a 2-inch barrel curling iron that every single woman on Pinterest has, the ring finger painted in a\u00a0 different color than all the others. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThink of those ladies who wore permed hair and blue eyeshadow into the 90s and 00s. You don\u2019t want to be the 2023 version of that lady - *unless* you do it extremely well and intentional for the camp factor. \n\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you found this helpful, I\u2019m interested in creating more spotlight posts on specific items that can be updated. We could just do bigger categories - shoes, outerwear, dresses, etc. or we could focus on one specific item people are finding particularly difficult to part with, but would like to freshen up.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_uexyl9", "text": "Virtually every day I see multiple questions about brands with little or no profile or \"Q rating\"---with the question: is this brand legit? \n\nKey note: this advice is mostly for US-based stores or stores that advertise to a US audience. I can't speak to what the signs are for overseas brands, since I don't have experience with those. My advice would be if you're in the US and shopping on a website that doesn't do business in the US or have a US presence, just be extra careful and read reviews.\n\nFirst, let's dig into what is meant by legit: \n\n--Will you get the item pictured?\n\n--Will the item you get perform according to the price paid? (meaning, if it's mid-range, will it last more than one season)\n\n--Will the item match the picture in terms of what's implied--meaning, will embroidery be actually embroidered not printed, will linen be real linen, will fabrics drape and fit similar to the model image?\n\n--Will you get the item in a reasonable time frame?\n\n--Will you be able to return it with a minimum of fuss?\n\nIn general, small, unknown brands can't afford loss-leaders, deeply discounted clothing or selling high quality, super-trendy, very unique items for $18.99 each. If a brand ad drops out of nowhere showing a beautifully detailed corset top with boning, made out of brocade, with hook and eye closures, for $29, you should be very suspicious. Small brands usually have to charge more because they don't have economy of scale advantage. \n\nNow that we know what is meant by \"legit\", let's go over how you can tell if a site or brand is \"legit\": \n\n*Note: one of these flags by itself is not a sure sign of a scam. It's really a total \"vibe\" that you get from 2 or more of these flags together. \nNon-standard, non-American English isn't a concern if you're shopping on a non-US site or using Google translate function. Etsy sellers, even legit ones, have to use \"keyword salad\" in their descriptions. Sometimes legit small sellers don't have great websites. Like all advice, there's corner cases and times where it doesn't apply, so ymmv.\n\nDead Giveaways: \n\n1: **Name of brand:** the name of the brand is one word, or two complete words (or a phrase) spelled out completely and correctly. The words make sense, or are typically paired together. They don't have 3+ vowels in a row, or made up words that aren't Italian, French, Spanish, or other romance languages. If a word is \"French\" but spelled wrongly, like \"Lattelier\" (not L'Atelier) that's a clue that it's likely a rip-off.\n\nAvec les filles is a real brand (by which I mean, an established brand that will ship you what you ordered and accept returns)\n\nPrettyLittleThing is a real brand\n\nWriabble is not \n\nAnotherChill is not\n\njluxlabel is not *edit: thanks astute readers, this brand is apparently inexpensive and has a few flags but is not a scam\n\nMaloona is not \n\nThis is something that, to an extent, you have to use your instincts with. Many brands will pair unrelated words such as \"Sling + Roses\" or \"Toad + Sprocket\" and that's where the other tips come in. \n\n2: **Description of item or title of item**\n\nReputable, legit brands either give the item a name \"The Jessica top\" or use one phrase to describe it \"Wide Legged Pants\". Occasionally they will give it a whimsical name \"The Revlon\" or something. Even more occasionally they will have a longer phrase like \"Off the shoulder cowl neck lace up top in berry\". \n\nHowever, the words will *be in correct American English adjective order* which is:\n \nQuantity or number\n\nQuality or opinion\n\nSize\n\nAge\n\nShape\n\nColor\n\nProper adjective (often nationality, other place of origin, or material)\n\nPurpose or qualifier\n\nThey do not use \"keyword salad\" like \"CUTE OFF SHOULDER DRAPED SLEEVE BUSTIER MESH CROP CORSET TOP - APRICOT\" or\n\"Sexy Satin Corset Tops Women Clothing 2022 Summer Backless Crop Top Casual Sleeveless Club Party Camisole Blusas Femme\"\n\n3: **Price does not match quality of item pictured in stock photos**\n\nThis is a huge one. For this post I used \"corset tops\" as a search term to get examples. Corset tops range from $1000+ to inexpensive items at about $35.00 or so. \n\nLet's take a look at how quality relates to price: \n\n[Current Air](https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/seamed-corset-blouse) is selling this adorable corset-detail blouse on sale for $60.00, down from $99.00. \n\n\"Emmiol\"[is selling this boned corset belt/top for $11.00](https://www.emmiol.com/splice-painted-corset-top-product164754.html) \n\n[Cider, a brand people typically ask about here is selling this for $18.00](https://www.shopcider.com/product/detail?pid=1008347&style_id=108613&currency=USD&sku_id=39446&utm_source=google_shopping&utm_campaign=pmax-us-roas2prod&gclid=Cj0KCQjwma6TBhDIARIsAOKuANwjlkAvsbHpIvTCEMoXUQ-6n0vMNqyfYIgnTLXG515As2uCugPWQ30aAnidEALw_wcB)\n\nWhat's the difference? \n\nAside from just fabric (the two less expensive items have less), you can see that the Current Air blouse has a zipper. The two others are pull on or front-lace. The Current Air item has self-covered edges on the bra cup area, and covered stays/boning. Current Air has also made the effort to match the plaid (at least on the model item) of the different parts, making a beautifully consistent looking item. \n\nThe other two, the price just isn't in line with the stock photos. Notice in the Cider ad, you don't see the entire front of the item, the item on more than one model (or the entire garment on a model) **it's laced with a literal shoelace** and in the description it says you can wash and **tumble dry** where the Current Air says handwash. \n\nTumble-drying an item with boning is a comically terrible idea. To the point I wonder if it's just elastic in there--or no boning, which is more like it. You can also see that even in the stock picture, the stitching is loose and visible, in the Cider item. \n\nAnother example: [Free People is cheating a bit here](https://www.freepeople.com/shop/lights-out-corset/) with a smocked back, but they are using hook and eye closures, and the construction of the corset is really nice--it has a peplum bodice with stitched-down pleating. I also think there's no boning in the garment, but the heavy, thick seams perform that function. It's $78.00.\n\n4: **Stock photos do not show the model's face**\n\nI'm not sure why this is (maybe to avoid paying royalties to the model? to fool Google reverse image search?) but if you see pictures of the item on some sexy-poo lady who is 99 pounds soaking wet and all you can see are her airbrushed tan limbs and torso and the item, alarm bells should be ringing. \n\nMost companies want to sell you a lifestyle and fantasy. They have a \"type\" of customer they sell to and their models reflect that aspirational \"type\"---club girl, chic upper middle class lady, boyish, stylish lesbian (Kirin Finch), etc. That customer is usually styled including hair, makeup, accessories and so on. With these sketchy brands, they don't want to pay for a full photo shoot so they crop the stock picture from somewhere else, or use low-paid IG models or use brand representatives on IG's pics. \n\nLess obvious signs: \n\n**The photos of the stock are all different styles, backgrounds, themes, and \"look\"**. \n\n[See how this iffy shop](https://shopstyleshark.com/collections/best-sellers) has customer-submitted photos, no-head photos, garments on a mannequin, accessories in the box in harsh ring lighting (meaning that's a rep/dupe from China likely, FYI), pictures that look like IG selfies, and so on? There's no consistent \"look and feel\" for the pictures. [Compare to Free People](https://www.freepeople.com/)--even if the model and location is different, same filter/color palette, same styling, same type of model, same look and feel. \n\n**The website doesn't pop a macro asking you to sign up and offering % off.**\n\n**The website doesn't pop a macro forcing you to acknowledge their cookies policy** \n\n**The icons and logos aren't hyperlinked--when you hover, they're flat and static and your mouse doesn't turn into an arrow or hand image.**\n\n**The word \"hollow\" or \"hollow out\" is in the description or title of the item**. This is a literal translation of lace/cut-out/crochet/fishnet from another language and not how we'd describe an item in English: [Exhibit A](https://shopmicas.com/collections/tops/products/mcwtu2202280005) who called a tube top \"hollow\"? Someone who is literally translating \"tube\" or \"crochet\" from another language to English. \n\n**The website is built on SquareSpace or another \"plug and play\" site-builder**. This is where IG brands that aren't SHEIN like but *are* drop-shippers live. They're brands that get orders and then order items from Aliexpress or SHEIN or Alibaba and then ship them to you at 10x markup.\n\n**The sex appeal of the model is being used to sell the item** the model has a dramatic bustline, impossibly tiny waist, popped booty, cocked hip, you can see long beach waves hair, etc. They want you to overlook the sketchy quality of the item and focus on how they want you to think you'll look in it. \n\n**There are multiple colorways of the item** that super-unique, beautiful, detailed, embellished corset...comes in blue, orange, black, white, and green? Hm. \n\n**There are hundreds, or thousands of items in stock** \n\n**The size range is small, and does not include XXS, XL and above, tall, petite, or other special sizes.**\n\n**The branding on IG doesn't fit the current \"aesthetic\" going around IG**. [Look how similar Haus and Recess, Bala, Chamboard, and Away, and on the other hand, Madewell, Girls Night in, So Worth Loving, and Beardbrand are](https://blog.socialmediastrategiessummit.com/top-10-brands-killing-it-on-instagram/) \n\nThere's a certain brand kit aesthetic that dominates \"legit\" brands with the budget to hire a brand person, so the brand will fit into the current group of aesthetics you typically see in your feed. \n\nAfter all that, you can still get fooled and taken advantage of. Drop shippers hide under \"local boutique\" websites. Etsy, eBay, and Amazon don't screen at all for huge unscrupulous companies that churn out factory-made crap.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_pp7qsx", "text": "So, I moved to a neighbourhood in which I know quite a few people (among them extended family members). Most of them rarely see me dressed casually and some of them make little comments about it when we meet at the grocer's. The most common one is about how sometimes I look like a high schooler and other times (usually when I'm on my way to do some business) like a respectable adult. I'm in my late 20s.\n\nI gotta admit that my casual look may be somewhat reminiscent of current teen trends (at least where I live). I don't follow them deliberately, it's more that they now happen to be something I've been wearing as casual-wear for at least five years now - crop tops (or at least tucked in tops), quirky vintage knitwear, sneakers, high waisted baggy jeans from the 90s that my mother gave me, because she can no longer fit in them etc. I also have one of them \"ageless\" faces, I've been told, I have short hair now, which usually makes people look younger and I'm petite.\n\nWhen I have to look presentable, I usually pick a more subdued version of the same silhouette, so instead of crops I tuck in my shirts, instead of baggy jeans I either go for high waisted ones that are a bit less baggy (still loose, but more like mom-jeans), slacks, palazzo pants or some high waisted vintage skirt. I usually throw on an oversized blazer, maybe some accessories. I never got any comment about looking too childish in that.\n\nAll of this got me thinking - does the concept of \"dressing one's age\" actually exist as some permanent guidelines, or is it just about avoiding trends that are popular among teenagers to make it super clear that you are an adult? I never got any comments about my looks until my clothes became trendy on tiktok, so I'm leaning towards the latter (for clarity: I actually don't have Tik Tok, so I don't know if they're trendy there specifically, it was just my boomer way of saying \"what kids wear these days\" haha)\n\nAlso, is it actually a bad thing not to dress one's age? A common phrase that I'm hearing often lately is that clothes have no gender. So why would they have age? As long as it's a functional piece of clothing appropriate for the occasion does it matter if a teenager could wear it?\n\nAnd finally, don't you think dressing one's age is an expectation usually applied to women?

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_mq438p", "text": "Inspo Album: Modern Druid - or, A Study in Airy Solids\n\nI'm usually a lurker on this sub, but I like seeing all the inspo albums so I decided to make one for my own style, which I think of as a current-day ode to the beauty of the earth. Inspiration for this style was pulled from nature itself as well as a pared-down interpretation of fantasy literature, games, and visual art.\n\n\ud83c\udf31 [THE IMGUR ALBUM](https://imgur.com/a/E8zYnpq) \ud83c\udf31\n\n[THE SPOTIFY PLAYLIST](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6lHf0E77CAg9RgKYzUFim4?si=a43d8061478443dd) (Idk if that's allowed, but I got really excited about making this album and I created a mini music playlist to go along with it. It's only 8 songs long. Have a listen if you like!)\n\n\ud83c\udf33 COLOR\n\nColor is super important to me as a style language. I curate the colors I wear very carefully. This album is organized by color - I tried to create a chromatic gradient that looks like it flows naturally. \n\nNeutral colors for this look: cream, tan, camel, chocolate brown\n\nStaple colors: varying shades of moss green (also called forest, khaki, olive, military, etc), copper brown (or cinnamon), steel blue (or gray blue)\n\nBrights: rust orange (or the color of Arizona's red rock desert), teal (or the color of the water 20 feet under the surface of the Caribbean Sea)\n\n\ud83c\udf33 PRINTS\n\nI don't do prints. You'll notice many pieces in this album share a silhouette with boho clothing, but they all lack those ever-present boho prints (the florals, the tie-dye, the geometric prints, etc). Instead, I love a solid color. This actually ended up being the most challenging part about making this album - finding pieces that fit the theme and didn't have a print. Check out [Earthernwear](https://earthernwear.com/) and [AYA Sacred Wear](https://aya.eco/) for flowy, organic pieces in solid colors.\n\n\ud83c\udf33 TEXTURE\n\nInstead of garnering interest through prints, I go for fabrics with interesting textures, like cotton gauze ([Cotton Flower Clothing](https://www.cottonflowerclothing.com/) has a lot of great natural gauze pieces), velvet, khadi, linen (check out [Linen Fox](https://linenfoxclothes.com/) and [Love and Confuse](https://loveandconfuse.com/) for beautiful linen clothes), or silk. A loosely woven or crocheted piece also adds a lot of textural interest to a look. I currently own way too many crocheted tops...\n\n\ud83c\udf33 SILHOUETTE\n\nI touched on this briefly above, but a lot of these silhouettes are very boho. This style focuses a lot on drape and loosely flowing fabric, but in a way that has very little to no bulk ([Urban Zen](https://urbanzen.com/) is incredible at this). To offset all of the drape, I often pair a more fitted and often cropped top with flowy, maxi-length bottoms, or I'll wear a matching two-piece set so that the line of the drape is broken up in a subtle and interesting way where one piece ends and the other begins.\n\n\ud83c\udf33 ACCESSORIES\n\nI wear a lot of jewelry. Stacking rings is my favorite, and the jewelry I wear always fits a certain profile as well. Materials include copper, rose gold, rope, raw unpolished gemstones, wood, and other natural finds. ([HAWKHOUSE](https://hawkhouse.net/) for copper-plated gemstone jewelry, [TulaBlueROPE](https://tulabluerope.com/) for rope-and-pearl creations)\n\nFor shoes, I stick to the ones that feel the most natural (this is partly because I don't like wearing shoes). Leather sandals in the summer ([Nativearth](https://nativearth.net/) is my go-to for those), rope-sole espadrilles in the spring and fall, leather boots in the winter. This album is mostly summer-focused, so you won't find any boots here.\n\nTattoos are not exactly an accessory, but they suit the theme of adding interest without adding bulk. I have tattoos and I love them - they make me feel like I'm always well-styled even when I'm not actually dressed.\n\nAccessories are basically a built-in way to add more interesting textures into an outfit for free. Bags made of waxed canvas, leather harnesses over drapey rayon tops, herkimer diamond hair pins, copper-electroplated insects adorning your neck... the possibilities are weird, wonderful, and limitless.\n\n\ud83c\udf33 NON-OUTFIT PHOTOS\n\nI thought it would be nice to set the scene by interspersing this album with some scenic backdrop photos. Since this album is my way of representing the beauty of nature in wearable style, I wanted to include pictures of that nature as well. And some ~aesthetic~ photos of cozy things because they're cute and they fit the theme and I like sleeping.", "author": "anon_81e79f9c", "created_utc": 1618326243, "created_iso": "2021-04-13T15:04:03Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/femalefashionadvice/comments/mq438p/inspo_album_modern_druid/", "community": "femalefashionadvice", "score": 615, "parent_id": null, "title": "Inspo Album: Modern Druid", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "_topics", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-17T00:00:00Z"}

Ago I posted a comment about my birthday present to myself -- a tv fashion icon photo project -- and people had questions! The project really is proving to be FUN! More importantly, it is helping me articulate my personal style, get more mileage out of clothes I already own, and appreciate the importance of hair and makeup in bringing a look together. As such, I am back to share a full post for anyone else who would benefit from such a project! I can also post inspo boards if people are interested, I just need to learn how to use imgur/Pinterest better. My style is \"vintage influence with subversive twists,\" but I reference everyone from Darlene Conner to Blair Waldorf, from Jackie Burkhart to Shane McCutchen. \n\nThe goal of the project is to put together 31 complete looks (1 for each day of my birthday month), all inspired by one of my favorite TV fashion icons. Here is the process so far:\n1. Made a list of every TV character I could think of (43 total)\n2. Created printerest boards for each character \n3. Researched \"how to dress like\" articles for each character \n4. Rewatched episodes, just looking for outfits I like (this step is more important than I thought, but it turns out the looks that I'm drawn to often aren't the ones fashion bloggers screengrabbed) \n5. Created a spreadsheet to note what I like about the character's clothes and styling, and listed pieces from my wardrobe I thought the character would wear \n6. Try on! Try on! Try on! Think to yourself: what would the character pick? \n7. Purchased accessories/cosmetics as needed for styling (no new shoes, handbags, or clothes, and no more than $20 per character)\n\nIf you want to do the photography/social media part of the project, I am actually copying a friend of mine, who did the following every day of her birthday month:\n1. Posted a series of high quality pictures of a fabulous 90s outfit to her feed \n2. Wrote a short rationale for what inspired the look \n3.Posted her inspo photos to her stories \n\nI'll just be posting my TV icon outfits instead of 90s outfits!\n\nHappy to answer any questions!

If you\u2019re new to wig installation or simply looking for a detailed guide, you\u2019ve come to the right place. In this article, we will provide you with a step-by-step tutorial on how to install a deep wave frontal wig flawlessly. Whether you\u2019re preparing for a special occasion or want to switch up your look, this guide will help you achieve a flawless and secure wig installation.\u00a0\n\n**How Deep Wave Frontal Wigs Differ from Other Wigs:** \n\n**Closure Type:** Unlike other wigs, deep wave frontal wigs have a frontal lace closure that extends from ear to ear, providing a more natural-looking hairline and versatile styling options. In contrast, other wigs may have different closure types, such as a full lace closure or a traditional wig cap construction.\u00a0\n\n**Wave Pattern:** The deep wave pattern of these wigs sets them apart from other wigs with different wave patterns or textures, such as straight, curly, or body wave. The deep wave pattern offers a unique and voluminous look, adding depth and dimension to your hairstyle.\u00a0\n\n**Styling Options:** Deep wave frontal wigs offer greater styling flexibility compared to wigs without a frontal lace closure. The frontal lace allows for various parting options and the freedom to style the hair away from the face, giving you more versatility in creating different looks.\u00a0\n\n**Preparing for Wig Installation.** \n\nInstalling a wig, especially a deep wave frontal wig, requires careful preparation to ensure a seamless and secure fit. Proper preparation not only enhances the overall look but also ensures the longevity and comfort of wearing the wig. In this section, we will guide you through the essential steps to prepare for wig installation.\u00a0\n\n**Choosing the Right Wig:** \n\nBefore beginning the installation process, it is crucial to choose a deep wave frontal wig that suits your personal style and preferences. Consider factors such as the length, color, density, and wave pattern that best complement your face shape and desired look. Select a wig that matches your natural hair texture for a seamless blend.\u00a0\n\n**Prepping Your Natural Hair:** \n\nPreparing your natural hair is essential for a smooth and comfortable wig installation. Follow these steps to properly prep your hair:\u00a0\n\n**a. Cleanse and Condition:** Wash your hair using a gentle shampoo and moisturizing conditioner to ensure it is clean and free from any product buildup. Conditioners help to detangle and soften the hair, making it easier to manage during the installation process.\u00a0\n\n**b. Moisturize and Protect:** Apply a leave-in conditioner or lightweight moisturizer to keep your hair hydrated and protected. This step helps prevent your natural hair from becoming dry and brittle while wearing the wig.\u00a0\n\n**c. Braid or Cornrow:** Depending on your hair length and thickness, consider braiding or cornrowing your natural hair close to the scalp. This technique helps create a flat surface and provides an anchor for securing the wig. For shorter hair, tuck and pin it neatly to minimize bulkiness.\u00a0\n\n**d. Use a Wig Cap:** To further ensure a smooth foundation, wear a wig cap that matches your skin tone. A wig cap helps to secure your natural hair and provides a barrier between your hair and the wig, preventing friction and improving comfort.\u00a0\n\n**Preparing the Wig for Installation:** \n\nTo ensure a flawless installation, it\u2019s essential to prepare the wig before applying it. Follow these steps:\u00a0\n\n**a. Customize the Wig:** \n\nTrim Excess Lace: Carefully trim the lace along the frontal area of the wig. Leave a thin strip of lace beyond the hairline to create a natural-looking finish.\u00a0\n\nPluck the Hairline: Plucking a few hairs from the wig\u2019s hairline creates a more realistic appearance. Use tweezers to gently pluck hairs along the frontal area, mimicking the natural density of hair.\u00a0\n\n**b. Applying Wig Accessories:** \n\nWig Bands: If desired, secure a wig band or elastic band around the perimeter of the wig cap. This provides additional support and helps keep the wig in place throughout the day.\u00a0\n\nWig Clips: Sew or clip wig clips onto the inner lining of the wig cap. These clips can be strategically placed along the sides and back of the wig for added security.\u00a0\n\n**Installing the Deep Wave Frontal Wig.** \n\nInstalling a deep wave frontal wig requires precision and attention to detail to achieve a seamless and natural-looking result. In this section, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of installing your deep wave frontal wig flawlessly.\u00a0\n\nBefore you begin, ensure that you have prepped your natural hair and customized the wig according to the previous sections\u2019 instructions. Having a clean and flat surface for the wig application will make the installation process easier and more secure.\u00a0\n\nHere\u2019s how to install your deep wave frontal wig:\u00a0\n\n**Wig Cap Application:** \n\nPlace a wig cap over your prepped natural hair, ensuring that all your hair is tucked in and secured.\u00a0\n\nAdjust the wig cap to ensure it fits snugly and comfortably on your head. Smooth out any bumps or lumps to create a flat surface for the wig.\u00a0\n\n**Positioning the Wig:** \n\nHold the deep wave frontal wig from the back of the wig cap and gently shake it to loosen the hair strands.\u00a0\n\nPosition the wig on your head, aligning the wig\u2019s hairline with your natural hairline. The frontal lace closure should sit at or just slightly above your natural hairline.\u00a0\n\n**Securing the Wig:** \n\nStarting from the front, press the lace frontal against your forehead, gently adjusting it until it aligns perfectly with your natural hairline.\u00a0\n\nUse a high-quality wig adhesive or glue specifically designed for lace fronts. Apply a thin layer of adhesive along the hairline, using a brush or applicator. Alternatively, you can use wig tape or adhesive strips.\u00a0\n\nCarefully press the lace frontal onto the adhesive, starting from the center and working your way towards the sides. Use a clean, dry cloth to firmly press the lace onto the adhesive, ensuring a secure bond.\u00a0\n\nIf you prefer a glue-less installation, you can use adjustable straps or combs inside the wig cap to secure it in place. Adjust the straps to achieve a snug fit and use the combs to grip onto the wig cap or your natural hair.\u00a0\n\n**Styling and Blending:** \n\nGently comb or brush through the deep wave hair to remove any tangles and distribute the waves evenly.\u00a0\n\nStyle the wig as desired using heat styling tools on a low heat setting. Avoid applying excessive heat to maintain the integrity of the wig.\u00a0\n\nBlend the deep wave frontal wig with your natural hair by using a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to gently blend the edges of the wig with your natural hairline. You can also use styling products to enhance the blending and create a seamless transition.\u00a0\n\n**Wig Care and Maintenance.** \n\nProper care and maintenance are essential for keeping your deep wave frontal wig looking beautiful, maintaining its quality, and ensuring its longevity. With regular care, you can extend the lifespan of your wig and keep it looking fresh and natural. In this section, we will provide you with a guide on how to care for and maintain your deep wave frontal wig.\u00a0\n\n**Daily Care Routine:** \n\nGently brush your wig with a wide-tooth comb or a wig brush before and after each wear to remove tangles and minimize shedding.\u00a0\n\nAvoid using regular hairbrushes as they can damage the wig\u2019s delicate lace and hair strands.\u00a0\n\nUse a wig-specific detangling spray or a mixture of water and conditioner to lightly spritz the hair and make it easier to comb through.\u00a0\n\n**Washing and Conditioning:** \n\n\u2013 Wash your deep wave frontal wig approximately every 10-15 wears or when it becomes dirty or oily.\u00a0\n\n\u2013 Fill a sink or basin with lukewarm water and add a small amount of wig shampoo. Avoid using regular shampoos as they can strip the hair of its moisture.\u00a0\n\n\u2013 Gently immerse the wig in the water and swirl it around to distribute the shampoo. Avoid rubbing or twisting the hair, as this can cause tangling.\u00a0\n\n\u2013 Rinse the wig thoroughly with lukewarm water until all the shampoo is removed.\u00a0\n\n\u2013 Apply a wig conditioner, focusing on the mid-lengths to ends of the hair. Avoid applying conditioner to the lace frontal.\u00a0\n\n\u2013 Leave the conditioner on for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.\u00a0\n\n\u2013 Gently pat the wig with a clean towel to remove excess water. Avoid wringing or twisting the hair.\u00a0\n\n\u2013 Place the wig on a wig stand or a clean, dry towel and allow it to air dry completely before styling or storing. Avoid using heat sources such as hair dryers, as they can damage the wig\u2019s fibers.\u00a0\n\n\ud83d\udcf7\n\n**Styling and Heat Usage:** \n\nWhen styling your deep wave frontal wig, use heat styling tools sparingly and on a low heat setting to prevent damage to the hair fibers.\u00a0\n\nApply a heat protectant spray before using any heat styling tools to minimize heat damage and keep the hair looking healthy.\u00a0\n\nAvoid excessive brushing or combing while the hair is wet, as this can cause breakage and damage the wig\u2019s waves.\u00a0\n\nUse a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to gently detangle the hair, starting from the ends and working your way up.\u00a0\n\n**Storage:** \n\nStore your deep wave frontal wig on a wig stand or a wig hanger to help maintain its shape and prevent tangling.\u00a0\n\nAvoid storing the wig in direct sunlight or in areas with excessive heat or humidity, as this can damage the hair fibers.\u00a0\n\nBefore storing, ensure the wig is completely dry to prevent mold or mildew growth.\u00a0\n\nIf the wig has long hair, loosely braid or tie the hair in a low ponytail to minimize tangling.\u00a0\n\n**Additional Tips:** \n\nAvoid sleeping or showering with the wig on, as this can cause unnecessary wear and tear.\u00a0\n\nIf you engage in physical activities that cause excessive sweating, it\u2019s advisable to remove the wig to prevent moisture buildup.\u00a0\n\nRegularly inspect the wig for any signs of damage or wear. If you notice any issues, such as loose tracks or torn lace, seek professional assistance for repairs.\u00a0\n\n**Removing the Wig.** \n\nRemoving your deep wave frontal wig properly is important to avoid any discomfort or damage to the wig or your natural hair. Whether you wear your wig daily or for special occasions, following the correct removal process ensures a smooth transition and maintains the integrity of both your natural hair and the wig. In this section, we will guide you through the steps to safely and effectively remove your deep wave frontal wig.\u00a0\n\n**Prepare for Removal:** \n\nFind a comfortable and well-lit area where you can safely remove the wig.\u00a0\n\nIf you have any adhesive or wig tape securing the wig, have an adhesive remover or solvent ready.

Be careful not to tug or pull on the wig or your natural hair.\u00a0\n\n**Detangle and Store:** \n\nAfter removing the wig, carefully comb through the hair using a wide-tooth comb or wig brush to remove any tangles or knots.\u00a0\n\nIf necessary, wash the wig following the care instructions mentioned in the previous section.\u00a0\n\nOnce the wig is clean and dry, store it on a wig stand or wig hanger in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources.\u00a0\n\n**Care for Your Natural Hair:** \n\nTake the time to care for your natural hair after removing the wig. This may include washing, conditioning, and styling as desired.\u00a0\n\nPay attention to your scalp\u2019s health and provide it with any necessary care, such as moisturizing or massaging.\u00a0\n\n**In a Nutshell.** \n\nInstalling a deep wave frontal wig can be a transformative experience, providing you with endless styling possibilities and boosting your confidence. By following the step-by-step instructions and tips outlined in this comprehensive guide, you\u2019ll be well-equipped to install and care for your deep wave frontal wig like a pro.

But getting the treatment done by the experts is not enough. It's crucial to follow a proper post-treatment hair care regime to maintain the gloss and health of your hair. We have put together the best strategies, tips and insights to reap the maximum benefits from the protein-based [**keratin smoothing treatment**](https://www.salon-vo.com/keratin-treatment/).\n\n**1. Wait Before Washing:** After a keratin treatment, avoiding washing your hair for the recommended period, typically 72 hours, is important. This waiting period allows the keratin to penetrate the hair cuticles fully, maximizing its effectiveness. Moisture and excessive manipulation during this time can disrupt the treatment's sealing process. Also, avoid using hair accessories that may leave indentations or disturb the treated hair.\n\n**2. Use Sulfate-Free Shampoo:** Once the waiting period ends, opt for a sulfate-free shampoo for keratin-treated hair. Sulfates can strip away the keratin coating, reducing the treatment's longevity. Use those shampoos that exclude sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) or ammonium lauryl sulfate (ALS). Use only mild cleansers as they sustain the smoothing effect of the protein-based treatment and keep the hair nourished. Visit Salon Vo, as the experts offer high-quality **keratin smoothing treatment** and after-care instructions.\n\n**3. Condition and Moisturize:** Conditioning is essential to replenish moisture and nourish the hair. Choose a silicone-free conditioner enriched with natural ingredients like argan oil or keratin. Apply the conditioner starting from mid-length to the ends, avoiding the roots. Leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Additionally, consider incorporating a deep conditioning treatment into your hair care routine once a week. Deep conditioning masks or treatments help repair and rejuvenate the hair after a **keratin smoothing treatment**, keeping it healthy and vibrant.\n\n**4.Avoid Heat Styling:** After a keratin treatment, your hair will be naturally smooth and straight. Take advantage of this and minimize heat-styling tools like flat irons and curling irons as excessive heat generated from them can neutralize the effects of the **keratin smoothing treatment**. If you need to use heat styling tools occasionally, apply a heat protectant spray or serum in advance to create a barrier between the heat and your hair.\n\n**5. Protect Your Hair:** It's important to protect your hair from environmental elements such as UV solar rays, humidity, and chlorine after a **keratin smoothing treatment** to reap its benefits as a user. UV rays can cause hair colour fading and dryness, so consider using a leave-in conditioner or protective spray with UV filters outdoors. When swimming, protect your hair by wearing a swim cap or applying a leave-in conditioner beforehand. If you cannot use a swim cap, rinse your hair thoroughly with fresh water instantly after swimming to eliminate any chlorine or saltwater residue.\n\nCaring for your hair after the protein-based treatment is crucial for maintaining its smoothness, shine, and overall health. By following these strategies, you can ensure that your keratin treatment lasts longer and keeps your hair looking its best. Remember to wait before washing, use sulfate-free shampoo and silicone-free conditioner, avoid excessive heat styling, and protect your hair from environmental factors. With proper care, your hair will remain healthy, frizz-free, and manageable long after the keratin treatment, giving you the confidence to flaunt your beautiful locks.

My scalp has a burn feeling to it after i go out of the shower and it smells like swimming pool, i also checked the values and it is on average medium to hard, where i was living before straight up soft. I would like to know if there are any accessories i could plug to the shower.   \nThe philips one is the only shower filter i found that is from a brand that does not sound AI generated, it is NSF (no nsf number mentioned though, usually 177 is the desired one) and KDF, but most importantly, is available to purchase here in EU.  \nThe holy grail here seems to be the showerstick, which is proved to make water objectively softer, but as far as i know is not possible to buy here in Europe and is also really pricey. I am also not even sure it would be compatible with the showers here.   \nI am aware that there are some ingredients that can remove the sediments from the hair, they also seem to potentially make the hair drier so to find a right balance appears to be difficult.  \nIf there are any ingredients that could help me and ingredients I should avoid let me now.   \nThe hardness averages 8,4 and 14 \u00b0dH where I live.  \nThe ingredients list of my haircare products is easily available online (Davines momo shampoo and conditioner and the aveda dry remedy oil). I was also interested in the Aveda brilliant since it states to remove \u201cbuildup\u201d. Of course buildup is an ambiguous term that could mean anything, it usually means build up of silicones, (which the conditioner does contain but I am not against silicones per se).So I would like to know if there is any ingredients in this shampoo that could help remove the sediments of hard water like calcium etc.. rather than just the silicones of styling products.  \nLet me know what life in a harder water area has taught you and if you were able to solve similar problems :)  \nEdit: my hair are not treated.  \nThanks", "author": "anon_49bc0d1e", "created_utc": 1676929900, "created_iso": "2023-02-20T21:51:40Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/HaircareScience/comments/117loic/hard_water_and_the_problem_of_undisciplined_hair/", "community": "HaircareScience", "score": 29, "parent_id": null, "title": "Hard water and the problem of undisciplined hair, how have you dealt with it?", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "_topics", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-17T00:02:00Z"}

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_jhi1bv", "text": "A few months ago I decided that I was tired of my red, henna'd haircolour. I wanted to go lighter, and for the umpteenth time started researching whether, and how, one can dye or bleach over their henna. While in the past I would do a bit of research and give up, this time I decided to bite the bullet. During my research stage, I did not find a lot of particularly helpful information, and what little information I did find was wildly scattered; therefore, I'm putting together this post, and everything that I've learned, for anyone else who might want to attempt this on their hair.\n\n***Disclaimer:*** *I am not a trained hairstylist or colourist. Please do your own research, especially if you've used henna of unknown or questionable origin. You MAY get chemical burns by bleaching over your henna, if your henna has metallic salts in it. Part of the reason I did this step-by-step experiment is to make sure that my hair WOULD NOT have an adverse reaction to bleach. Proceed with caution. Channel your inner nerd and experiment, like I did, to be sure.*\n\n# Background Info\n\n**My Hair and Henna.**\n\nI have fine, thin, caucasian hair. Based on [this wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hair) page, I think I have 1a hair - it is very soft, and gets oily very easily. I can easily curl it, but it loses curl pretty quickly unless I douse myself in hairspray. While I experimented with my hair as a teenager, in approximately 2013 I started to dye it with [this henna](https://www.amazon.ca/Light-Mountain-187130-Henna-Ounces/dp/B00028LURW/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=light+mountain+henna&qid=1603569615&sr=8-3) from Light Mountain, occasionally switching to one of the other shades from the same brand (e.g. [this, more violently red shade](https://www.amazon.ca/Light-Mountain-Natural-Conditioner-Bright/dp/B001ET7N38/ref=sr_1_11?dchild=1&keywords=light+mountain+henna&qid=1603569747&sr=8-11)). I was going through a hippie/natural product phase, and also did not have much money; this henna was a perfect solution. I purchased it for something like $10 at the local natural foods store every other month, mixed it up, and slathered on my head. In a pinch, I used [this other henna](https://www.amazon.ca/Surya-Brasil-Products-Henna-Burgundy/dp/B01FOKP5HS/ref=sr_1_10?dchild=1&keywords=surya+henna&qid=1603569850&sr=8-10) from Surya, which came in a tube and was much easier to apply when you're in a rush. But, it was more expensive and faded more quickly; therefore, I mostly stuck with Light Mountain. **These are the only brands of henna that I used on my hair.** And I continued to use them regularly to keep up my red hair up until several months ago (Spring of 2020).\n\n**Concerns with Bleaching Henna.**\n\nOne of the myths surrounding bleaching over henna is that your hair will burn, or turn green; for this reason, many hairstylists will refuse to attempt to bleach your hair if you tell them that there's henna in it (or so I've heard). ***This concern is around for good reason:*** many poorer-quality hennas have metallic salts in them that will cause an exothermic reaction when put in contact with bleach. This may result in severe damage to the hair and chemical burns on your scalp.\n\nBefore proceeding, I therefore did some research on the henna that was already in my hair. Because I had only ever used two high-quality brands, this was easy. The Surya and Light Mountain websites assured me that there were no additives in their products, and I was inclined to believe them, and this was enough for me to justify the purchase of all of the supplies listed below. But did I believe them enough to jump right into bleaching my hair? Not at all; I wanted to be absolutely certain, and decided to experiment with bits of cut-off hair before committing to the process.\n\n# Step 1: Purchasing the Supplies\n\nOn [SallyBeauty.ca](https://SallyBeauty.ca), I purchased the following:\n\n*Hair Colour Removers:*\n\n[L'Oreal Colour Zap Color Remover](https://www.sallybeauty.ca/on/demandware.store/Sites-SC-Site/en_CA/Product-ShowQuickView?pid=SBS-500495), $16.79\n\n[Ion Hair Color Remover](https://www.sallybeauty.ca/hair/hair-color/hair-color-removers-and-correctors/hair-color-remover/SBS-405008.html), $8.69\n\n*Bleach:*\n\n[Wella Powder Lightener tub](https://www.sallybeauty.ca/hair/hair-color/lightener/powder-lightener-tub/SBS-800425.html), $30.89\n\n*Developer:*\n\n[Ion Sensitive Scalp 30 Volume Developer,](https://www.sallybeauty.ca/just-ask-sally/sally-favorites/sensitive-scalp-30-volume-creme-developer/SBS-305020.html) $8.39\n\n[... and 10 Volume Developer](https://www.sallybeauty.ca/hair/hair-color/developer/sensitive-scalp-10-volume-creme-developer/ION86.html), $8.39\n\n*Toners (I was optimistic):*\n\n[Wella Color Charm Toner](https://www.sallybeauty.ca/hair/hair-color/toner/color-charm-permanent-liquid-toner/WELLA17.html), $9.69\n\n[Brass Color Correcting Elixir](https://www.sallybeauty.ca/hair/hair-color/hair-color-removers-and-correctors/brass-color-correcting-elixir/SBS-550123.html), $9.99\n\n*Dyes:*\n\n[Wella Color Charm Demi Permanent Haircolor](https://www.sallybeauty.ca/hair/hair-color/demi-permanent-hair-color/color-charm-demi-permanent-hair-color/WELLA10.html), $9.69\n\n[Rose Semi permanent Haircolour](https://www.sallybeauty.ca/hair/hair-color/semi-permanent-hair-color/brights-semi-permanent-hair-color/ION153.html), $11.59\n\n*Protein Repair Treatments:*\n\n[Ion Protein Filler](https://www.sallybeauty.ca/hair/hair-color/fillers-and-additives/protein-filler/SBS-405182.html), $7.29\n\n[Rejuvenating Porosity Control Corrector+Conditioner,](https://www.sallybeauty.ca/hair/hair-color/hair-color-removers-and-correctors/rejuvenating-porosity-control-corrector-and-conditioner/SBS-700828.html) $14.49\n\n*Supplies:*\n\n[Tint brush](https://www.sallybeauty.ca/hair/hair-color/hair-color-accessories/mixing-tools/extra-wide-jumbo-tint-brush/SBS-292703.html), $2.59\n\n[Highlight Helper Boards,](https://www.sallybeauty.ca/hair/hair-color/hair-color-accessories/hi-lite-helper-boards/SBS-181270.html) $3.39\n\n[Mixing Bowl](https://www.sallybeauty.ca/hair/hair-color/hair-color-accessories/purple-hair-color-mixing-bowl/SBS-305961.html), $3.89\n\n**Total: Approximately $160 CAD.**\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/4hdzj98na4v51.png?width=4032&format=png&auto=webp&s=5a80ba66e44ef1f1bcb2327aec92083cc4b3dbd4\n\n# Step 2: Giving myself a haircut.\n\nNext, I snipped off enough hair to experiment with. I was a bit overzealous, and chopped off about 3 inches. I like my hair shorter, anyway! I bundled these into 4 \"test strands.\"\n\n&#x200B;\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/tos1mp4pa4v51.png?width=4032&format=png&auto=webp&s=08e460e1277751e669e9eeeb4e4468eb5518d07c\n\n# Step 3: Testing Hair Colour Removers\n\nI first tried the L'Oreal Colourzap. Strand 3 was left soaking in it for 30 minutes, the recommended maximum amount of time. Strand 4 was left soaking in it for 60 minutes (double).\n\nResults: 60 minutes of exposure was most effective (?), but left my hair super dry. It really didn't make much of a difference, though. After I did this process I actually read the instructions, which said not to apply the product onto henna (oops!). I didn't spot any adverse chemical reactions. Also, this stuff STANK TO HIGH HEAVENS. Really nasty shit. Do not recommend.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/poh1ou1sa4v51.png?width=4032&format=png&auto=webp&s=9369c8fa24faffaf3310b54645e5e9306309f950\n\nNext I tried the Ion Colour remover. I applied it to strands 2 (virgin hair), and 4 (previously treated with the colourzap). Both were left for the recommended amount of time, 45 minutes. Again, the results were uninspiring; however, it didn't seem to damage the hair. Below are the results; strand 4 was the lightest, but by not very much. It's harder to see in the photo.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/f5b3qgota4v51.png?width=4032&format=png&auto=webp&s=7d201860cf91c01034fb74a5ec4b60bc0fb9d914\n\nConclusion: these two haircolour removers didn't do much to my hair, other than make it dry.\n\n# Step 4: Round 1 of Bleach\n\n*At this point, Strand 1 was my original hair. Strand 2 was treated with Ion Colour Remover. Strand 3 was treated with Colourzap. Strand 4 was treated with both.*\n\nSo, I mixed up the bleach with 30 volume developer, at a 1:2 ratio. I wasn't sure how long I could leave the hair, and was worried about causing damage. The instructions said to check the hair every 5-10 minutes, and leave it to process for up to 50 minutes. I did this on my balcony because I was expecting some noxious fumes from the bleach, and potential chemical reactions that the internet warned me about from the bleach meeting henna.\n\nI checked the hair every 5-10 minutes and there were ***no signs of an adverse chemical reaction***. No heat, no foaming or bubbling, no steam, nothing! Yay!\n\nI left strand 1 processing for 30 minutes. I left strands 2-4 processing for 45 minutes.\n\nResults (compared to strand 0, which is original hair).\n\n&#x200B;\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/xdz20hoxa4v51.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=73194ebdd043d8528a78df605cc1be9c7e838a8a\n\nThe hair was a little dry but not particularly damaged. Strand 4 was the dryest, and developing split ends. Otherwise the hair was still in pretty good shape - not particularly stretchy, not gummy. I didn't spot a whole lot of difference in damage between strand 1 (30 minutes bleach) and the rest (45 minutes bleach). Clearly, the hair is still quite red - but, if you look at the comparison with strand 0, you can see that quite a bit of the pigment was lifted.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n[  ](https://preview.redd.it/6ymvvsv2b4v51.png?width=4032&format=png&auto=webp&s=3d5607daa731c86ed79a6e068b16110396dc2ba2)\n\nResults from Round 1: Better lighting. Strand 0 vs. Strand 3\n\n# Step 5: Round 2 of Bleach\n\nI had some bleach leftover, so I decided to jump right into the second round of bleaching. I will space bleaching out by a week+ when I'm bleaching my actual hair, but for the purposes of this experiment I figured it would be fine. I applied the remaining bleach to the hair once more, and left to process for 45 minutes. Once again - there were no adverse chemical reactions.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n[Results of round 2](https://preview.redd.it/ar4ua826b4v51.png?width=4032&format=png&auto=webp&s=fef0cae9800713c6f7803c8e025893a2d769ea62)\n\nIt looks like strand 4, which went through two rounds of colour remover prior to bleaching, actually lightened the most (?). However, it was also the dryest and most damaged, by quite a lot. I'm not sure that the half-a-shade difference was worth it.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n[Better lighting, strands 0, 3, and 4](https://preview.redd.it/y52dq0aab4v51.png?width=936&format=png&auto=webp&s=d436f36da4a284d7f3fa2456cc2fadc68d1f27d8)\n\nAt this point I'm realizing that I'm very unlikely to reach blonde without completely frying my hair.\n\n# Step 6: Round 3 of Bleach; Testing whether strands will hold color\n\nI decided to try one more round of bleach. I left the strands soaking in a deep-conditioning treatment overnight, and bleached once again the following morning. I knew that I would be damaging the hair quite a bit by bleaching so much so quickly, but I was curious to see how far this would push my hair. When I move on to bleaching my actual hair, I will give my hair a long (week-month) break between bleaches.\n\nI mixed the bleach with 30 vol developer, and left strands 1-3 soaking in bleach for 45 minutes.\n\nStrand 4 was already quite damaged, so instead of bleaching it once more I decided to use it to test whether the hair will hold colour. I coloured strand 4 with the rose coloured dye, and left it to process for 45 minutes.\n\nResults:\n\n&#x200B;\n\n[  0 is original; 1-3 bleached 3 times; 4 bleached twice and coloured with rose semi-perm dye](https://preview.redd.it/dvhm4yweb4v51.png?width=4032&format=png&auto=webp&s=e577631f948ffdd0614fe7810af78f4df1e8b046)\n\nAfter 3 rounds of bleaching in less than 24 hours, strands 1-3 were quite dry and damaged. The hair still wasnt gummy and did not stretch when dry; however, individual hairs were quite stretchy while still wet. I decided that this was as far as I would push my natural hair, unless I was absolutely certain that it had recovered enough to handle more bleach.\n\nStrand 4 has a nice pink tint to it; however, I think that the dye I purchased was too light. I think that if the pink was a little more vibrant, the results would be a nice peachy colour.\n\n# Step 7: Testing whether strands can be toned and demi-permanently dyed\n\nThe final step was to see whether the strands can be toned with the wella toner, which is supposed to get rid of the orange hues. I also wanted to see what colour the demi-permanent dye that I purchased would colour the hair, since my original plan was to give myself a shadow root. I used strands 2 and 3, which allowed me to keep a \"reference\" strand that went through 3 rounds of bleach.\n\nI mixed the wella toner with 20 vol developer, and left in the hair for 30 minutes - strand 3.\n\nI mixed the demi-permanent dye with 10 vol developer, and left the hair for 20 minutes - strand 2.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/qk5ggmkjb4v51.png?width=4032&format=png&auto=webp&s=0725488d1e22fd3fad6211cf821bc6916f5c29f3\n\nFinal results.\n\nThe demi-permanent hairdye did saturate the hair, but the result was more of a chocolate brown because of the violently red hair underneath. The wella toner did tone the orange down a bit, but in my opinion it just made the colour a bit more ashy. I would call this a bust.\n\nSummary of final results:\n\n*0 - original hair.*\n\n*1 - 3 rounds of bleach.*\n\n*2 - 1 round of colour remover (largely ineffective), 3 rounds of bleach, 1 round of dark blonde demi-permanent hairdye.*\n\n*3 - 1 round of colour remover (largely ineffective), 3 rounds of bleach, 1 round of wella toner.*\n\n*4 - 2 rounds of colour remover (slighly effective, but not worth the damage), 2 rounds of bleach, rose semi-permanent hairdye.*\n\n# Key Takeaways\n\n**Takeaway 1:** You can, indeed, bleach over henna without adverse effects - not all henna has metallic salts, and therefore not all henna will chemically react with bleach. Having said that, I would not recommend jumping into bleaching your henna'd hair before doing a test strand, and checking it for heat/foam/steam.\n\n**Takeaway 2:** At least in my case, I am unlikely to be able to get my hair to blonde. I can, however, get it to violent orange after several rounds of bleach. The toner did not do much either because the hair was still too orange for it to work. Though it made my strands a bit more ashy, I didn't think it was worth it. This means that I shouldn't have purchased some of the products that I did - specifically the wella toner and the brass colour correcting elixir.\n\n**Takeaway 3:** Henna'd and then bleached hair does indeed hold semi and demi- permanent pigment - though it is unclear whether the henna diminishes the hair's ability to do so. Whatever colour you apply will be tinted by the underlying orange (which makes sense!). I should have opted for a more vibrant pink colour.\n\n**Takeaway 4**: Finally, at least on my hair, the hair colour removers did not do much other than dry my hair out. I'm not convinced that this step was worth it; especially the colourzap, which smelled HORRIBLE. I think bleach is the way to go.\n\n# Future Directions\n\nAlthough my original plan was to attempt to get to blonde, I think this experiment has made it clear that this is an unlikely goal without growing out my hair. At this point, I'm going to lean into the orange, and after several rounds of bleach will be dying my hair pink for a peachy-pink hue.

Brazilian hair has a lot of elastic body and natural luster, which is a beautiful choice for wigs, weaving, and extension of human hair.\n\n### Peruvian hair\n\nPeruvian hair is a good choice for those who want a lightweight weave or wig that can still hold a style. Peruvian hair is light, soft and luxurious. Its texture is a bit rougher than other types of hair, so it is surprisingly mixed with relaxed black hair. It\u2019s also incredibly durable and can be easily designed and redesigned.\n\n### Malaysian hair\n\nMalaysian hair is very luxurious and smooth, although not as shiny as some other hair. With the use of the product, Malaysian hair can be easily styled and very easy to manage. This type of hair is usually unaffected by humidity and is popular with wet customers who do not want to experience curls.\n\n### Indian hair\n\nIndian hair is light and elegant, full and full of style. Indian hair usually has a natural straight or wavy pattern that is not easily tangled, making it a popular choice for human wigs and weaving.\n\n### Mongolian hair\n\nMongolian hair for wigs is soft, shiny and luxurious. It is relatively thin hair, but still can be as usual in style, because of its fine and soft texture.\n\n### Russian and European hair\n\nEuropean hair can come from Russia, Spain, Italy or other European countries. It\u2019s typical of fine and smooth hair, perfect for those looking for silky, straight hair, as it may not hold a style, as well as some other hair, but it is incredibly powerful.

I have not heat-styled or dyed it in ten years. I have naturally wavy and frizzy hair that is pretty susceptible to damage, especially sun damage. I get split ends like crazy! I basically haven't touched it since cutting it to collar-bone length two years ago. (though as you can see I am still growing out the layers) This is the longest it's ever been in my entire life and I want to see how low it will get if I start to take care of it. For the past month I've started wearing it up during the day. (cycling between a single braid or low pony tail and the occasional half-up with a claw clip.) I wear it in double-braids to sleep and use a satin pillow case and silk scrunchies or claw clips exclusively. I wash it about once a week with l'oreal thickening shampoo and shea moisture strength and repair conditioner. I only brush it before it goes into braids for the night and just finger-comb when necessary if I need to redo whatever style I am wearing on that day. Unfortunately I stress pluck, so I have seen significant thinning on the crown of my head and at my temples. Luckily I still have pretty thick hair, but it's lost probably 1/4 to a 1/3 of its thickness just from the plucking alone. It's drastically improved since I've started being so intentional with my hair, so I hope I can slowly shift the compulsive plucking into hair care rituals (like braiding or very gently detangling with my fingers instead). I think gaining length will also check the behavior, as the more effort I put into my hair, the harder it will be to mindlessly destroy it when I am bored or stressed.\n\nI am getting my first trim in a year next week, how do my ends look? How much should I take off? I am thinking a half-inch to an inch to even everything out and get rid of all my split ends. I am also considering starting to make homemade rosemary oil to start oiling the ends since they are so dry. Any recipes or recommendations? Should I add mint or lavender to it, or keep it simple? How often do you typically oil the ends? Everyday? Every wash day? \n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/o7x3fth7fa3g1.jpg?width=1716&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d2fbb5b929d682b2b3828714639c960f83eeed7\n\n", "author": "anon_633f3067", "created_utc": 1764026512, "created_iso": "2025-11-24T23:21:52Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/longhair/comments/1p5wmoa/begining_of_my_hair_growth_journey_advice_welcomed/", "community": "longhair", "score": 7, "parent_id": null, "title": "Begining of my hair growth journey (advice welcomed!)", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "_topics", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-17T00:02:27Z"}

I know the lighting is harsh, but want to show the frizz. \n\nSo, this is going to be a long one because I need help.\n\nMy hair is the longest it has every been. I cut it really short once (bob, around age 10) and have let it get longer ever since. I pretty much never go to the hairdresser (can't remember the last time), since my mom is able to cut off the split/dead ends neatly (she had a side job at the hair dressers as a kid, saves me a ton of money). I do not have particularly thick hair, but do have a decent amount of it and it feels like quite a lot just because it is so long (waist length currently).   \n  \nI shed a normal amount in the shower when washing my hair, which I do about every other day (sometimes I squeeze in an extra day). If I wash it on day one (usually in the afternoon/evening), day two is great and over the course of day three it gets greasy (especially around my roots at my crown and around my face). I air dry it because I feel like blow drying makes the frizz even worse. The water it on the hard side where I live, we should have a filter but I feel like it is still quite hard.   \n  \nI currently use Schwarzkopf Gliss Total Repair shampoo (I shampoo twice, because otherwise it doesn't feel clean), and then use the matching conditioner. I picked these because I came across the ingredient dimethicone that is said to reduce static and thus frizz. Having been using it for about a month.   \nI used to use a random hair mask, but have run out and not found something new yet. After throwing it up in a microfiber hair towel for a few minutes, I let it down, gently brush (starting with the ends and working up) and I put in Aussie Reconstructor Oil from about shoulder length to the ends. Sometimes I put in Schwarzkopf Gliss Split End Serum on day two (also shoulders to ends) when it is particularly frizzy. I don't put anything closer to my roots because it will get greasy even quicker. But, that leaves me with the frizz. I dislike using hairspray/mouse/gel (but will do it every so often when the frizz get even worse than in the first pic).\n\nOver the last few years I have had periods where I thought: 'you know what?  I am going to really figure out my hair care so it looks nice.\" And then I get sick of having to spend money on trying out products and not having it work out real quick.   \nImportant to note: I do NOT want to have to spend any time styling my hair. Anything about my appearance is extremely low effort, it want to have to spend as little time (and preferably money \ud83d\ude05) thinking about it as possible. I don't wear makeup, don't do my nails, and do not ever style my hair. I wear it down when out, in a high ponytail for a few hours a week when going to the gym, and a low ponytail/bun/braid or half up in a claw clip when at home. \n\nWhat I am looking for is to reduce the intense frizz and have the length look healthier. I hate the frizz especially around my head/on top of my head. I think most of it is likely breakage due to a period of wearing it in a tight low bun and due to the high ponytail for the gym. I am trying to stop doing the bun, but really would not like to wear my hair low/in a braid in the gym.   \nI also would like to think that my hair can look a little more shiny/smooth/healthy(?) with good products. \n\nI know I should probably cut the ends soon, they're not too dry/split but it might help it look a bit more healthy. Another note: it don't live anywhere particularly warm or moist (northwestern Europe).\n\nSo, please be honest with me. I know I probably need to invest more time and money than I'm doing now to get results, but I know I won't keep up an elaborate routine. I do not enjoy trying products or researching hair care like so many people do (I wish I did), so I hope some long-haired folks here have some good recommendations based on experience. \n\nPS: Should I end this with an 'amen' since it is so long lol?\n\n", "author": "anon_7cd464de", "created_utc": 1760126575, "created_iso": "2025-10-10T20:02:55Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/longhair/comments/1o3bds9/please_help_me_with_this_frizz/", "community": "longhair", "score": 27, "parent_id": null, "title": "Please help me with this frizz", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "_topics", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-17T00:02:27Z"}

Went from butt length to a short bob and then had to cut MORE off because the original stylist butchered it so so bad (if I can post pics in comments and yall are curious I\u2019ll try to find the pic lmao it\u2019s bad and I sobbed for two days\u2026 that\u2019s why I hate getting it cut at a salon!) and I decided shortly after to grow it out and NEVER cut it again minus trims. \n\nI got it so long before 1(took a couple years) thanks to an itworks product that my husband is understandably not willing to spend $75 on (but dang did it work lol) so I\u2019m definitely having some trouble growing it out right now, it\u2019s almost to the middle of my back again. I did go back to my natural blonde from red, but have been trimming it myself periodically about an inch at a time every few months or less if it looks too bad, and I haven\u2019t touched a single chemical to it in over a year. I don\u2019t use ANY sort of heat on it, only use silk ponytail holders or a claw clip loosely. \n\nIm running into an issue that within even an HOUR of washing it, using a small amount of conditioner or deep conditioning once a week, my ends seriously look crispy. Like a really bad  kinkiness/dryness. I absolutely hate it. My husband loves playing with my hair because it\u2019s super thick, but I won\u2019t even let him touch it anymore because it feels so gross to me. \n\nWhat the actual heck am I doing wrong \ud83d\ude29 \n\nThe first hour after washing it and everything it feels luxuriously beautiful and soft but the more it dries the more it feels crispy and disgusting at the ends. \n\nI\u2019ve tried so so many EXPENSIVE shampoos/conditioners (I don\u2019t even know the names of them at this point I\u2019ve tried so many), I\u2019ve swapped hair skin and nails vitamins a million times, I\u2019ve tried different routines as far as moisturizing goes. Absolutely nothing is helping and it\u2019s driving me insane. Until that cut, my hair was beautiful. Ends were soft and yeah there was a few split ends but it still looked great. Did something with my haircut mess it up permanently? I don\u2019t want to grow it out just to have this be a permanent issue that there\u2019s no solution for. \n\nThe shampoo/conditioner I was using pre cut was an expensive subscription one from Function of Beauty and I do think that contributed to my hairs overall health and beauty BUT my pre teen stepdaughter got pissed off at me one day right after I\u2019d gotten new bottles in and dumped the ENTIRE THING of both down the drain while she was in the shower. I haven\u2019t ordered since mainly because they are pretty pricey sometimes and I\u2019m worried she will do it again\u2026 I don\u2019t want to have to lock my things up to keep her hands off of them (she\u2019s dumped lotions, perfumes, body washes etc before several times too when she\u2019s mad at me) but dang I just want my beautiful hair back. I made the BIGGEST mistake cutting it all off and I\u2019m so scared it won\u2019t ever go back to the way it was.

I have 4 inches of natural growth after some similarly emotional induced highlights that were kinda brassy (but not too far My natural color). Hair- which was to my belt last summer- had gotten brittle from the frequent highlights combined with long distance running. I also got on medication this past fall which helps a lot- I used to neglect myself more and not wash it until it was so dirty. It was always up in a bun or pony which gave me a headache due to how thick and long it was. I have OCD and had been harmed by a guy I tried dating so I needed to purge the \u201cbad energy\u201d hair that existed during the same time he existed in my life. \n\n\nSo I lobbed to my shoulders last January and a short layered bob around September. Me boss screamed at me for the 2nd time in 3 years so I went into mental health meltdown. I got mentorship, medication, haircut and started a new job at the beginning of December. My breakup happened right before Christmas. \n\nI have the intense urge to cut a pixie, even though I haven\u2019t had one in 12 years and frankly pixie doesn\u2019t look great with my lifestyle (frequent sports- running, skiing, etc) and my propensity for occasional self-neglect. I realize I can\u2019t just roll out of bed and throw my hair up, I can\u2019t put it up at all with a pixie. I also feel mannish and exposed- I like the comfort of my soft curly long hair. To twirl but I also feel safe and pretty with my long thick curly hair. \n\n\nI feel like any time I have had the urge to cut it in the past, there\u2019s been a realization that I just needed to wash and style it. Like of course greasy pulled back dirty hair doesn\u2019t feel or look good. And I can start doing a braid/bun/claw clip or hat with a pony during my runs because it would become matted when I went running due to the length hitting my sweaty back over and over and over. In other words, I can easily learn to take care of it instead of neglect then freak out and chop. \n\n\nI just feel like I really need to get rid of all non-natural color hair ASAP even though I could just wait a year then cut it off THEN into another non layered medium bob. If I cut pixie, the next year will be like miserable self-punishment where I\u2019m even further from my long hair goal but have the added awkward grow in maintenance phase.  Since it\u2019s  already at collarbone (shortest layer at my ears) I  can get rid of my color in a year but still be close to long hair. \n\n\nI\u2019m also 30, so I don\u2019t want the first half of my 30s to be waiting for hair to grow. It really is like a phantom limb where I feel like yelling \u201cI have really thick curly long hair, you just can\u2019t see it!!\u201d\n\nTl;dr-\nAnyone have advice for \u201cdramatic\u201d actions you can take after a breakup/toxic job to healthy job transition/mental health episode that doesn\u2019t involve cutting off your hair, preferably that you can do indoors and is touch-based?

I'm taking my prenatals still along with extra iron and collagen. \n\nmy hair keeps breaking with my daily detangling, I just take it down work slowly from ends to roots and then put it back up. no toddler or baby hands get the opportunity to yank it out either. the bright side of the breakage is my hair can be longer and thicker if I just figure out how to keep my hair from breaking while detangling.

Let me know if I did anything wrong with the post.\n\nBasically i have hair about halfway to my butt now, after more than 5 years and a half of growing out with sparse trims in-between; and i find myself at an impasse.\n\nIn the past months i've been subconsciously avoiding doing protective buns with my ends tucked in because of the pain and headaches i would get after a few hours.

Also my scalp is extremely sensitive to pain and i feel like dying even if one single hair gets pulled. As for keeping it in a braid, as mentioned before my hair splits right where the tie sits (a fabric tie with no metal or other damaging pieces) and right at the bottom where it creates friction with my clothes. I thought about getting silk scrunchies but sadly I also have fewer hairs at the bottom after a bout of hair loss i'm recovering from, and a normal size scrunchie looks ridiculous, creates kinks i do not appreciate or is simply too big (also usually has some metal or plastic pieces that kinda defeat the purpose).\n\nIn the picture I have my usual hairstyle, I alternate it with a simple braid that is formed in a bun and everything is kept secure with two barebones hair forks.\n\nI honestly enjoy having my hair up and out of the way, but the headaches are getting too annoying.

I wash my hair about 4x per week. Even in the winter, if I'm training for something, I wash it a lot more than I'd like.\n\n  \nI'm listing out here the things I do to keep my hair healthy despite the torture I put it through, and I'm hoping to learn other methods from my fellow cardio freaks.

Basically I braid my hair, then loop it upwards, and capture the looped braid with a thick scrunchie. I pin down the ends on the top of my head, and wear a hat to help hold the ends in place. \n* Double french braids when I bike and swim. I always wet my hair before swimming to prevent chlorine damage, and wash it with a swimmer's shampoo right afterwards.\n* If I didn't get too sweaty, I don't wash my hair, and instead give it a good brushing to distribute the oils.\n* I try to offset my sweaty days so I'm running in the heat on a day when my hair already needed to be washed.\n\n\n\nDrying/Styling\n\n* I avoid heat damage as much as possible. Blow drying my hair can take half an hour so I avoid it out of laziness anyway. If I swim or run before work, I blow dry partially, then air dry and braid on the way into the office.\n* I put leave-in conditioner and then oil on the bottoms of my hair, dry it in a head towel for a while, then let it hang down and finish air drying for a few hours. \n* I do heatless styling as much as possible- braids, twists, sock buns.\n* I typically keep my hair in buns and braids during normal days to prevent random damage. \n* I sleep with my hair in a bun on the top of my head or a braid.

Also showing it in the bun that I like to wear.\n\nPhoto 5: The other day. Styled my hair, but you can see how dry and wispy it can look.\n\nPhotos 6, 7(\ud83d\ude1b): Hair without products or styling, air dried. VERY soft and fine and loose waves, but the next day without products, it is nearly straight, and very flat and limp, hence why I need to often style with gel.\n\nPhoto 8: Another day without products\u2026 you can see how thin my ends are. I hate how I can see my back THROUGH my hair!!!\n\nPhoto 9: An example styled of how curly my hair can get at this length when styled well, but also the thinness of the ends. \n\nPhotos 10, 11, 12: Hair when it was short with choppy layers. I loved the bounce, fullness and curl. I feel it looks healthiest here, ans maybe I could have done more style wise (updos with small claw clips, etc? at the time to scratch the itch I have to put it up lol)\n\nPhoto 13: Kind of in between. Grown out from the short hair of the previous photos, but still not even touching my shoulders. Love this length also. \n\nHonestly, I\u2019m just very tired of attempting to grow my hair out and I\u2019m about to give up, book a hair appointment, and get it cut back to a short bob. I LOVED my short bob, anywhere between chin length to just above shoulders, my hair is curly, bouncy and full. I\u2019ve been attempting to grow my hair out for a year or so at this point, with 2-3 small trims in 2025. But as its gotten to collar length, it just gets SO wispy. My hair doesn\u2019t curl like it did, and even good hair days are mainly flocked with rough ones. My ends get thin and wispy no matter what, I hate that I can see through them. My hair grows very slow, and I\u2019m starting to wonder if this is even worth it. Sure, I love the look of long wavy hair, but even if I get there, it won\u2019t be thick and lucsious. I\u2019m already getting frustrated with the increased need for product, upkeep, how dry it gets, and the main things tethering me to keep on trying is the idea that I just need to \u201cpush through\u201d the wispiness at this length so the fuller hair can catch up, AND that I love that I can put it in a messy updo finally\u2026 but again, is it worth it if I end up crying at how thin it looks most days? My hair has looked visually very much similar over the last year despite growth, you can go back and check my post from a bunch of months ago. \n\nI guess I\u2019m just asking, does this even seem worth it for me? I was happier with short hair, but I also yearn for long hair, but frankly, I KNOW its a huge time commitment, energy commitment, etc etc that maybe I just don\u2019t have. I dont even know what I\u2019d do if it did get long - I don\u2019t know how to braid, I know I won\u2019t want to learn elaborate hairstyles or oil anyway. I just feel conflicted bc I keep getting pulled in by yayy messy bun!! Urghh i dont know what to do, I wish my hair wasn\u2019t so fine and wispy and fragile!!\ud83d\ude2d\n\nMy CURRENT hair routine:\n\n\\- Wash and condition with herbal essence grapefruit shampoo and chamomile conditioner\n\n\\- Glaze and scrunch in kinky curly knot today leave in conditioner in shower\n\n\\- Out of shower, I lightly scrunch out excess water and glaze and scrunch in big quarter sized globs of aussie instant freeze gel\n\n\\- Scrunch hair and plop with microfiber headwrap\n\n\\- Remove wrap after I get dressed, add two more dime sized amounts of gel\n\n\\- Hover Diffuse on high heat high speed till cast forms, then low heat high speed diffuse by cupping my hair into sections\n\n\\- Scrunch out crunch and fluff.

I used the Kerastase Nutritive Nectar Thermique as a blowout cream from roots to ends and I add Lucido-L Argan Rich Oil for additional hydration and heat protection and to help with frizz from roots to ends as well and Pantene Defining Mousse mostly focused on my roots (again, also not the best product ever but just trying to use it up). I use a Dyson Airwrap to do my blowout and this tool has honestly single handedly really helped with my hair health. I only use it on cooler heat setting, using the flyaway attachment on my roots to smooth the hair, then using the big round brush attachment to seal the cuticles on the length before going in with the large barrel and pinning each curl for about 20 minutes.\n\nNight: I put a hair oil on the mids and ends. It changes depending on what my hair needs that night but this night in the pic I put the &honey oil mentioned earlier. Then I twist all of my hair and kind of put it in sort of a bun shape but don\u2019t use any ties or clips and put a satin bonnet over it (also another item that has really drastically helped my hair health)\n\nProducts and items I recommend from this routine that have most changed my hair, in order of most drastically changed it to least:\n\nDyson Airwrap - expensive but it was VERY worth it for my hair journey, it\u2019s definitely an investment\n\nSatin bonnet - mine is just one I got off Temu for $1 and it does the job well so you really don\u2019t need anything fancy\n\nCer-100 - whenever my hair is frizzy I use this and it cures it\n\nFino hair mask - if you have high porosity hair you need to mix it with 1/3 parts hair oil, doesn\u2019t really matter what kind but it\u2019s not moisturizing enough on its own for me. Amazing when mixed though\n\nLucido-L Argan Rich Oil Frizz - I started using this when I was living in Japan because it was the only heat protectant I could find and it\u2019s really great for hydration when styling your hair and also helps with frizz\n\nKerastase Nutritive Nectar Thermique - I am still testing this one, I\u2019ve only used it a couple times so far but I definitely have noticed more volume and shine in my hair with using this. Haven\u2019t decided if it\u2019s worth buying a full bottle yet since it\u2019s expensive but it did make my hair very silky so I would recommend it if you\u2019re lost on a good blowout cream and can afford it\n\n&honey EX Deep Moisture Oil - this specific one out of their hair oils is the thickest so it does wonders for my hair when it\u2019s a little dry, especially on day 2 or 3 before bed, letting it soak in the bonnet\n\nThe Garnier Whole Blends Honey Treasures Shampoo and ion clarifying shampoo are just really safe for me, I\u2019ve been using them for years and my hair likes them but idk if they\u2019re life altering or if others will like it. My hair is quite picky about shampoo I\u2019ve noticed. Just don\u2019t overdo it with the clarifying shampoo if you get the ion one. It\u2019s VERY good at clarifying so it can easily be stripping if overused. I always recommend it to people with low porosity hair\n\nOne shampoo and conditioner that changed my life that I can no longer get as easily is another one I discovered while living in Japan called Ululis Kirameki Shiny Shampoo and Conditioner. This made my hair GLASS when I first used it. It was shiny and silky and I could run my fingers through it for the first time in my life. If you can get your hands on it and don\u2019t mind paying a bunch for shipping I would definitely recommend that hidden gem, I\u2019m just broke college student so I can\u2019t afford it at the moment", "author": "anon_2993b8fd", "created_utc": 1748148609, "created_iso": "2025-05-25T04:50:09Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/longhair/comments/1kuufu4/year_8_of_0_trims_routine/", "community": "longhair", "score": 241, "parent_id": null, "title": "Year 8 of 0 Trims: Routine", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "_topics", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-17T00:02:56Z"}

I asked for 2, maybe 3 inches to help my hair be healthier. She cut off around 5 on one side and about 8 on the other, then had to cut the other side to match. I held in the tears until I was at home. I know she felt bad because she started tearing up and kept apologizing. She gave me a discount before I paid. Now I feel so ugly without my long hair, and I'm crushed because that was just over 12 months of growth. It was nearly down to my waist, only half an inch away, which was my hair goal. But I know my ends were CRISPY in that last inch or 2.\n\nI'm trying to stay positive and thought that doing my best to grow it out and keep it even healthier would be a good place to start. So here is my current routine, please give whatever advice you think I should consider! \n\nI wash my hair once every 5 to 7 days. The night before washing, I use HoliRoots scalp oil from Fable and Mane, then I put a good amount of MoroccanOil hair oil on my mids to ends and braid it. I Shampoo twice, once with Ouai detox then with MoroccanOil (Hydrating shampoo). I use a hair mask, I switch between a few but lately have been using Oribe Gold Lust, let it sit for 5 min then rinse and use MoroccanOil Hydrating conditioner. \n\nAfter washing, I pat and lightly squeeze my hair with a microfiber hair towel. I use Olaplex no 7 hair oil and MoroccanOil hair oil, leave in conditioner, and a small amount of styling cream (all MoroccanOil brand). I do use a detangler spray but I plan to discontinue and find a different one. I do not brush my hair when wet, altho sometimes I gently detangle the ends with my hair pick (starting from the very tips and only going up about an inch or 2). I let the length of my hair air dry and I only blow dry my bangs (I use heat protectant from Not Your Mother's as well as some hair oil and styling cream). \n\nI switched to mostly MoroccanOil products in the last 2 months and have not gone back to Ouai since. Started using the shampoo and conditioner back in November. I do still have some of the leave in conditioner and the detox shampoo, but I'm only using the shampoo from them right now.\n\nAs for during the week, I brush my hair once in the morning and once before bed, (after applying both hair oils to my mids and ends) starting from the very tips and slowly going upwards. I use one of those detangler brushes with flexible bristles. I switch between that and a boar bristle brush when my hair gets more oily near the scalp. I have been trying to phase out dry shampoo since it causes me to get dander. \n\nOvernight, I braid it sometimes but I mostly sleep with it losely twisted and then lay it above my head on my pillow. I use silk pillowcases. \n\nRarely do I wear my hair in a ponytail or any updo other than 1/3rd back, and I use claw clips for that. I plan to get back into braiding it again now that it is back to being mostly one length (previous haircut gave me more layers than I wanted). \n\nAny and all advice/support is greatly appreciated!!

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_t16l5u", "text": "Hi all. Came to a realization recently. I had a microfiber towel I was using for a few years but accidentally washed it with something colorful that turned the white towel into a dirty-looking yellow towel. I hopped online to look for a new hair towel. \n\nA few months later I noticed all 3 of my hairbrushes were always dirty, especially with lint. At first I thought I wasn't keeping my house clean enough as I have 3 pets and my HVAC ducts need some repairs. I deep-cleaned the brushes and upped my cleaning schedule, but still my brushes were always dirty. \n\nSo I started keeping them in clear protective bags when not in use thinking that the hole in my HVAC is kicking up so much dust that I can't fight it until we get it fixed. Still, my brushes were so dirty despite regular cleanings and I even had to replace one. \n\nIt dawned on me that they weren't dusty - they were full of grey lint. Guess what color my new hair towel is. \n\nFor those of us with long-hair, using the right towel on your hair can make a **huge** difference in how long it takes to dry your hair, how clean your hair stays between washes, how often you have to deep-clean your brushes, and I have the feeling that lint in your hair can contribute to tangles and maybe dryness (anyone have an article about this? I can't find one but I have a hunch.) \n\nYou don't have to buy anything special, but the towel in your regular set probably isn't the best choice. A plain cotton T-shirt from a dollar store can work just fine if you're on a budget. If you're shopping on the information superhighway, look very carefully at the product and the reviews. Unfortunately the grey linty towel I bought actually had decent reviews, so that's not always a great indicator, so be careful when you're shopping.\n\nThe more time you spend drying your hair because of poor towel absorption, or if you have to wash and detangle your hair earlier because of lint build-up and dirty brushes, or you try new expensive products because you think your hair is tangly, or you spend a lot of time cleaning brushes or money buying clean brushes... these things can lead to *increasing hair damage*, and *decreasing the time and money you can spend on other things*, like fancy hair clips.\n\nHope you're having a good hair day!", "author": "anon_654f690f", "created_utc": 1645802755, "created_iso": "2022-02-25T15:25:55Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/longhair/comments/t16l5u/psa_your_hair_towel_makes_a_big_difference/", "community": "longhair", "score": 41, "parent_id": null, "title": "PSA: Your hair towel makes a big difference", "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "_topics", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-17T00:02:56Z"}

Even that popular Nautilus bun is not for me.\n\nSo, back to claw clips: I only like that plastic style because I can't feel the clip (which you do if it's too long or oddly shaped or a heavy material). But they're only sold in two sizes: big enough to hold all my hair but heavy and can feel the claws, OR, just a bit too small. Even in the best case scenario it eventually gets heavy and causes my scalp to hurt. And most of them break easily.\n\nWondering if anyone else here has or had similar problems and if you've found some holy grail clip?\n\nAlso: shedding is so annoying and scary. Normal human hair loss is 50-100 strands per day and when you have long hair that looks like A LOT more than it is. A few strands come out every time I run my hand through my hair -- even if I've done everything right: brushed it, slept in braid, took my vitamins. And the cleaning! Ugh. I'm seriously considering a Roomba.\n\nMy husband likes to joke about #longhairdontcare and how it's definitely not the case.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_bjpqxw", "text": "Hello, Reddit! My first post ever, and I am wondering if anyone else shares my pain. Growing up, I had never been overly feminine. If anything I considered myself tomboyish, so naturally makeup, hair, and clothes didn't interest me as much as other girls at the time. Now twenty-one, I'm finally coming around and it's only around a year ago that I braided my hair for the first time ever.\n\n(Which I failed the first time. I ended up braiding my hair together under my chin. Oof. Happens to the best of us right?) Now I find myself wanting to style my hair and experiment! Except my hair doesn't make that an easy task for me. It's thick, tangles super easily, and is naturally wavy. Frankly my hairstyles are either up or down, and now that I've braided, that one is included, too. Outside of using a curling iron or a straightener, there's seemingly nothing I can do with my hair. I either wear it down, braid it, or I tie it up. The end.\n\nI've never been able to do buns either. The only bun I've been able to do isn't really a bun, it's like a weird giant fluffy bang that hangs over my face...Sort of like Tinkerbell but with more hair. I've never dabbled with bobby pins, or hair clips. I'm basically a hair-styling virgin. At least that's what it feels like.\n\nDoes anyone have any suggestions? Any tips? I've tried Googling, going on Reddit, and searching for YouTube videos but nothing has helped thus far.\n\nAlso, whenever I braid, I can't braid my hair between my fingers. I take sections and pin them under my arm pits and braid with my arms/body....If that makes any sense at all. It just seems like my fingers won't cooperate and do braids if I just use my hands. My hair's too thick to get into clean sections. It's like math to me, I can't wrap my brain around it.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nIf anyone has any hairstyle ideas, I'm all ears.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nConfused and eager, \n\nBlondie.", "author": "anon_daaceed4", "created_utc": 1556763820, "created_iso": "2019-05-02T02:23:40Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/longhair/comments/bjpqxw/styling_super_long_hair_rearthigh_length/", "community": "longhair", "score": 5, "parent_id": null, "title": "Styling Super Long Hair.

I never fully understood why, and don't fully understand it now, but I've discovered some truths about being a long-haired male.\n\n\\- You are memorable - You will stick out in others' minds as \"that long-haired guy\" or \"that guy with the ponytail\". This may be good or bad depending on what you are looking for.\n\n\\- It is sensuous - I had heard this before, but wasn't ready for the reality. Tossing a ponytail over your shoulder or running your hands through your hair just feels really good! It may even give you tingles!\n\n\\- You are a role model to little girls - You probably know quite a bit on hair care, hair products, hair accessories, and various styles.  If there are any little girls in your life (e.g. daughters, nieces, granddaughters, little sisters), you can probably bun or ponytail them better than 95% of other men and be seen as a caring, nurturing male role model.\n\n\\- You are a role model to little boys - You, as a mature adult, can be the inspiration for that boy who wants to grow his hair out but is afraid to do so for fear of what others will think.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "post", "id": "t3_19d943l", "text": "So, I've had long hair for all my life, but mostly just wore it in ponytails and wasn't very skilled with updos. Recently though, I really invested in learning to make various buns and acquiring quality hair forks/sticks/other accessories, and it was a life changer. I found some very comfortable and nice-looking buns and was pretty happy about it for a few months.\n\nThen I decided that if I'm all serious about my hair now, I should also go trim my overgrown ends because my mom always called them ugly and \"rat ends\", and they indeed got too long and a trim is overdue. So, my hair was somewhere in the middle between tailbone and knee length, then I trimmed it to waist length (in a soft blunt U-cut). Like, it's still pretty long anyway? Lots of hair left, the majority of volume preserved and the ends were thin anyway (though they weren't really damaged, just very tapered). It should be easier to manage waist-length hair into hairdos! It's a bit awkward when your hair is longer than your arms.\n\nYeah, no. A mistake, that was. And now I'm full of regret and annoyance. Turns out, your \"ratty\" and \"ugly\" fairytale ends give you +100 bun sturdiness. They're the secret ingredient of bun success. They coil around nicely and stay where you put them. They taper, so you have no problem with tucking them all at once in tight spaces. They hold on to themselves even without pins. And the blunt and firm same-length ends just spring out of everything. They're not to be contained in a bun, it's impossible to tuck them in for long, no matter how hard you try. And once they started poking out, the construction itself starts unraveling (and it looks chaotically ugly while doing it). They even scratch and poke my scalp when tucked in the wrong direction! Aaaaaargh. Now I understand why some people complain about buns always falling apart. I mean, some hair is just generally tough and rebellious, but even my soft, pliable hair is a bun nightmare with the freshly cut ends. So if people trim their ends regularly, their hair is just permanently like this, no wonder their buns fall apart. Kinda eye-opening. Though trimmed ends look nice in ponytails or worn down, so it's a matter of priorities.\n\nThankfully, my hair grows pretty fast and I hope it'll be back to manageable in a few months, and I'm not gonna trim it ~~ever again~~ until it's tapered again and only slightly after that. But I wanted to ask for some advice dealing with rebellious ends until then. I can't be the only one falling into this? How do you tame your ends, fellow sufferers? Are there ways aside of using three million pins and a hair spray at once? Maybe some buns hold ends better than others? Maybe hair combs instead of forks?

She barely looked at the picture and started cutting. I was shocked at how short it was! So much shorter than I wanted and no bangs either. I was completely deflated, but I tried to stay positive because I did want a change after all.\n\nMy husband is the sweetest, nicest man in the world, but he basically said he liked it better longer (me too!). I'm already incredibly self conscious about my appearance and this is a huge blow for me. I feel so hideous, unattractive.

For reference, I am in my 20s, I have VERY sensitive, dry/combo skin + eczema, and have thick 2A wavy hair.\n\n**MY WINNERS**\n\n* Makeup by Mario Skin Enhancer - I don't own a bronzer. I always thought it would make me darker/dull and I don't want that in a look. But this is super sheer, and very minimal. Very balmy and dewy too. Love it. \n* Makeup by Mario Transforming Skin Perfector - perfect layer on top of the enhancer. I love how it mixes 3 effects - makes it really easy to use (esp for someone like me who doesn't wear makeup often) and is a really subtle improvement to your natural features.\n* Westman Atelier face trace stick - I don't own a contour stick. This is so easy to use and I see a great difference when using it. Long lasting. A win\n* Westman Atelier sun tone hydrating Bronzing Drops - So good. Better than drunk elephant's  bronzing drops. Very natural. I'm converted.\n* Danessa Myricks Chrome flakes (fireball and sweet tooth) - I don't wear eyeshadow ever but uhhhhhhhhh these were too pretty to pass up. I wear them around the house now for no reason other than to feel sexy af. Can just apply w my finger and it's longer wearing than say, glitter.\n* Danessa Myricks Twin Flames liquid eyeshadow (love spell) - same reaction as the chrome flakes. Too cute and such good quality. Really pops with literally a fraction of a swipe.\n* Eadem exfoliating lippies (butter mochi and fig sauce) - I have enough lippies but I do like these. Nice and thick. Nice pigment in the fig sauce.\n* Aestura set - Super great trial set. All 3 products are super gentle and don't sting me. My dry skin really likes it - I will be repurchasing the Atobarrier cream in the larger size.\n* Paula's Choice Peptide plumping gel cream - Love this because it doesn't just sit on your skin like water (which I feel is true of the Lineage Bouncy line) and it doesn't sting me (like the Drunk Elephant polypeptide moisturizer does for me).\n* Sofie Pavitt Mandelic Acid serum - I like that it is a pump so it is a little more user friendly than the Paula's choice mandolin acid, and I feel like it gave me instant results in skin texture.\n* Sofie Pavitt Nice Ice Cryo - these were a fun try - they're literally ice cubes of toner! Pretty nice and soothing to use, and it melts fast so it's a quick treatment. I am allergic to cats so whenever the pictured idiot chooses to give me some love I get eczema flare ups on my face. I then cleanse and use these a Nice Ice cube and it seems to help make me less irritated.\n* Hourglass Concealer brush\n* K18 astrolift - haven't tried anything in this brand but now I will. This shit is magic. I have a LOT of hair that weighs down over the day and this prevents my natural waves and natural volume from depleting. Incredible.\n* The rest are restocks (not new brands) for me: Saie set (love all 3 products in those shades), Josie Maran tangerine lotion (smells really good for summer, don't like her other scents), Lineage lippie blueberry (yum)\n\n**Jury is still out** (meaning, I haven't tried or haven't given it enough time to see an effect yet)\n\n* Freck Face Hack Setting Spray (I bought it bc I thought FACE HACK along the side was funny)\n* Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Blurring balm in Universal Radiant (excited to try)\n* Danessa Myricks blushes in prima donna and it girl (i have too many blushes but...they're so pretty...)\n* Dr Idriss Vitamin C gel Major Fade - Vit C serums usually irritate my skin and expire/get discolored fast (i'm looking at you Murad), but this one is so far so good. Haven't seen a change yet to my acne dark spots but def need to keep trying. \n* Dr Dennis Gross Blur + Repair - haven't tried, I wanted to compare his with Dr Idriss' and see which one is better / more effective on my blemishes.\n* Skinfix barrier restoring gel - the other Skinfix moisturizer started hurting my skin so want to try this one.\n* Sephora Brush cleaner\n* Sephora lash curler\n\n**MY LOSERS**\n\n* Freck Rich Bitch set - bought it bc I liked the RICH BITCH packaging. But the lippie tastes p bad and the primer is a lil slimy and I think it irritated my skin.\n* Emi Jay hairclips - it's called a Big Effing Hair clip but it is not big at all. Cannot hold up all my hair unless I spend 8 minutes stuffing my hair into a straight line to claw clip it. Not for me.\n* Soft Services Theraplush refillable - mmmmm nothing special. The packaging is nice looking, scent is subtle, the pump is cool, nice statement piece on the nightstand. The hand cream itself is meh. But I also have very wintery dry hands inflicted with eczema.\n* ColorWow Money Hair mask - made my hair sleek for sure, but flattened my waves pretty badly. I'll keep trying it though - it does make my hair pretty glossy\n* Crown Affair Renewal mask - did nothing for me and also made my hair flat. I love the Crown Affair leave in conditioner and the towel so I had high hopes for this mask. :(\n* Ilia base face milk - I'll still keep this bc it's a nice light layer moisturizer for under makeup (which the tatcha dewy isn't good for), but for someone like me with dry skin, this doesn't last very long.\n* Innbeauty Elastic Skin serum - god, what misleading packaging. There's only 1 fl oz in this bottle but the bottle is 2x the size of the Paula's choice peptide collagen moisturizer. Rubs me the wrong way. Feels nice though. I think the Paula's choice one is more effective for my skin.\n* Ranavat moonseed treatment - I got it because the cream is purple and I fell for the marketing. I thought it could rival the Tatcha overnight serum - it cannot. It makes my face feel so tight and firm in the morning and I do not need that right now.\n* Violette Boum Boum milk spray - ummm this feels nice, def a good add for the summer. But...I barely sprayed it over the last week and already like 1/15th of the bottle is gone. How does it use that much so fast! not worth in my opinion.\n\nHope these short blurbs are helpful for you and your purchases!!

My hair is always kind of rough and fluffy right after I shower, then the natural oils accumulate and it always looks way better after a few days. I do wash my scalp and bangs if I plan to go out with my later-week hair as they can look flat and oily otherwise.\n\nI work from home so my hair is virtually almost always up in a loose bun (night and day), which means it rarely has the opportunity to get tangled. I basically just refresh the bun whenever it comes loose and don't bother brushing it when doing so. I only ever brush it once all the way through right after showering.\n\nRe: trims \u2013 I have not been to a hair salon in probably 10-15 years (I'm in my early 30s). I trim the ends myself with an inexpensive pair of hair scissors, usually about a quarter inch at a time just for a neater bottom line.

I have a lot of coarse sections. I have a band of looser/finer curls around the middle of my head, starting from my ears and back about 5 or so inches. I have the most issues with that part. \n\nWith certain curl creams I use less because I don\u2019t want to weigh my hair down or make my hair look greasy. It\u2019s really easy for me to do that. So I usually start with a pea size and add from there based off of how my hair seems to take it. The Fenty cream has been good so far. It doesn\u2019t seem to weigh my hair down. But when using it with the Miche foam, it can look weighed down or greasy. So I try and use little product. \n\nSo previously I had a lot of issues with my hair. It was a lot more coarse and it felt dry no matter what I did. I *always* had to use a leave in conditioner with good slip and moisture as a base to my routine. It was a non-negotiable. I always saw people talking about how they only use this or that or had products that were a good \u201cone and done\u201d. There were products that claimed to not need a leave in conditioner- the product was moisturizing enough to be used alone. I\u2019m always like \u201cOk, so I\u2019ll be using a leave in lol\u201d. \n\nSince switching back to the Garnier Whole Blends shampoo and conditioner my hair has completely changed. I\u2019m not kidding. I\u2019ve even got a lot of my friends on it and they\u2019ve been telling me the same. With my wash routine, I don\u2019t even need leave in anymore. I switched at the beginning of February and my hair has done a 180. With each wash I kind of switch what I\u2019ve been trying (Miche is always a constant tho). Sometimes I use a leave in conditioner and the styling mousse. Other times I\u2019ve been using a curl cream and the mousse. Sometimes I use just the mousse, which I could never do before. Before I\u2019d have to use a leave in, curl cream, and mousse. It might be worth it to find the right wash routine for you.

In this subreddit the term is often misused to describe untamed or unruly hair. The afro has a long and important [history](https://www.reddit.com/r/curlyhair/comments/sr4x3p/black_history_month_at_rcurlyhair/), including as a symbol of the Civil Rights movement. \n\nWe recognize that there are many different opinions on what can and cannot be called an afro.

{"source": "reddit", "kind": "comment", "id": "t1_oap8l4m", "text": "You might try a mousse instead of a gel! I would do a leave in conditioner and a mousse. A mousse will give you a bit of definition and hold (depending on the mousse). Mousse tends to ask kind of fill out your hair and give you volume. Sometimes gel can make your hair appear more \u201cstringy\u201d. I\u2019ve never used Cantu, but I\u2019ve heard from other people on here that it\u2019s not the best. So you *might* try some other products. You also don\u2019t have to buy expensive products. There are many cheaper products and brands I love.\n\n- As I Am has a lot of good products. I especially like their Rosemary and Classic line. Their products are fairly cheap. You can get them online and find some of their stuff at Walmart (and I think Target?). \n\n- Design Essentials you can find pretty much anywhere and they are pretty cheap. You can find them in person at a lot of places, but they also sell at Ulta and TJ Maxx/Marshalls (discounted). Ulta is doing their 21 of Beauty and on the 17th, their products will be half off. I highly reccomend this brand and getting them during this sale. Their products aren\u2019t expensive to begin with, but they\u2019ll be extra cheap on this day. \n\n- Camille Rose and the Doux are also cheap brands you can find at places like Walmart I\u2019ve used a couple Camille Rose products and liked them. I haven\u2019t used the Doux, but I hear a lot of good things about the brand. \n\n- If you\u2019re willing to shop at Ulta (you can also buy on the brands site), Odele is a really good brand. All their products are $11. I like their Air Dry styler and foam(mousse). I haven\u2019t tried them yet, but they just came out with an actual curl line. \n\n- If you\u2019re ok with a perfumey type fragrance, I really like Heritage. I\u2019ve used their leave in (in the white bottle), curl cream, and mousse. You can buy at Walmart or Target. \n\nSome ingredients to look out for that work well with low porosity hair are Honey, Aloe, Jojoba oil, and Grapeseed oil.", "author": "anon_7688e216", "created_utc": 1773638247, "created_iso": "2026-03-16T05:17:27Z", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/curlyhair/comments/1rm5jr1/hair_update/oap8l4m/", "community": "curlyhair", "score": 2, "parent_id": "t1_oaon4yx", "title": null, "rating": null, "lang": null, "brand": "_topics", "study": "emijay", "captured_at": "2026-07-17T00:05:35Z"}

{"source": "youtube", "kind": "comment", "id": "UgxVJ5ElB-KayxI-1pt4AaABAg", "text": "2 Things that cause breakage\n- Forces applied while combing\n- Occurence of tangles (in hair and around brush bristles)\n\nKey considerations when choosing a hairbrush:\n- Space between bristles: More space leads to fewer tangles and less abrasion & breakage\n- Material and stiffness of bristles: Softer, more flexible bristles are gentler on hair. Metal is too harsh, while boar bristles are very soft but less effective at detangling. Nylon bristles offer a good balance\n- Ball-tipped bristles: These can cause hair to catch and break, especially when brushing quickly.
