I hate my hair - rant thread

[seanutbutter]

i secretly like winter time better because i don't have to deal with my hair getting all frizzy in the summer

Winter has the opposite effect on me. During the months of November to March, my hair looks like someone rubbed a balloon against it (whether or not that's true isn't important).

^Same here, my hair is always has more frizziness in the winter

blergh! I just got "highlights" on my short dark ashy blonde hair. And I do not like it at all. I've had all varying degrees of blonde solid or highlighted in the past so I know it can be done beautifully on my hair but this time I hate it. I brought in pics of Jacquetta Wheeler's hair and I said I want it not too chunky, a little blended and they did a "weave" which resulted in tiny strips of light blonde mixed with tiny strips of dark blonde evenly dispersed throughout my head. I think it looks like i'm trying to hide greys or something. It's seriously like every other hair is light dark light dark. Not natural or pretty at all IMO but apparently it's what I asked for. But somehow doesn't look like any of the pics I brought. So I'm going back next week with pictures of MYSELF with the hair I want. I really didn't think it would be so difficult to communicate what I want.

I hate, hate, hate my hair. I love it when my hairstylist does it cos it looks wonderful, but if I try to duplicate it? It's a huge mess. Maybe I just hate how not talented I am with doing my hair, whatever! I can never get product to work either. If you don't believe me, I can post a picture. My hair is my devil in my backside. >

I hate that no matter what I do to my hair, within a couple of hours, it goes back to how it was at the beginning. It doesn't cooperate with me at all

my bangs. growing it out is the worst! i cant do anything with them, they always have to be clipped back or to the sides. at least its long enough that i can just tie it all back in a pony. everyone is like why not trim? um why would you trim it shorter if you want to grow it out!

aaahhh ... i'm with you
just the same here: i had bangs for 2 years and i seriously want to grow them out now! but it's really hard, i have to control myself not cutting them again because they look just bad at the lenght they have reached now groing out bangs is THE WORST THING EVER

I had that problem the last few monts! I hated it. I´m glad they are long enough now, almost to my chin.

 

[nijuyanah]

haha .. i knew that it would come to this: i cut them again
but well.. at least it doesn't look bad B)

 

[Ronchamp]

i'm growing out by bangs now too!! Some days it doesn't look that bad, but today...AWFUL!! It doesn't help that today, i tried this new shampoo, "straight and silky". My hair looks flat and greasy! My bangs look like they're glued to my face

 

[Karusiek]

I hate my hair! It's way too wavy and not in a pretty way, I have bangs and even if I straighten them out, they will always get wavy in the end and when it rains my hair is curly I just wish I had straight hair, but it just lives its own life, maybe one day it will listen to me

 

[snowqueen]

i got my hair cut supper short and i didnt realise how quick it would grow and its grown well fast and now its kinda a mess... im also growing all of my dye out so its a funny colour ahah .. gona get it trimmed next week after pay day though .. maybe dye it acrazy colour like blue or something

 

[daniellat]

Well, i have to say i have great hair, its a little thin and i dont have much but its not that straight and its not that wavy so i can get it straight or curly really easy BUT, when i want it curly it gets flat right away and when i want it straigh it gets curly in no time AND i dont know how to style it! i just dont! agh! its so frustrating bc i dont know what to do to make it look good, i always end up with a messy bun or straight and down. i wish i could have a different 'do everyday or so but i cant do it by myself and i dont have the acce$$$ to have it done by anyone else.

 

[kissablekae]

my bangs are down to my lips now but its still just does whatever it wants lol i think becuase i have a lot of bangs, its definitely not skimpy. i dont think it will look right till its past my chin..& i refuse to cut any of my hair! i like the length now which is long and dont want to sacrifice any of it!

 

[Ashcottmanor]

I have a question for you guys, I have really fine, thin hair and when it isn't perfectly washed and styled I want to put it up in a ponytail or bun, problem is because it's so fine and thin it looks like I don't have any hair. Is there a quick fix like a hat, headband, certain hair style? to make it look like I have good hair when it's not working with me??

 

[kissablekae]

^ my sister has the same problem. her solution is she never ties it back tightly..like its never flat onto her head. she will tie it up then pull pieces out so its looser all over her head making it appear fuller and more slightly messy looking(not in a bad way). and hair spray is your friend!

hats are cute if you dont have time to style. headbands are nice because you can push hair forward slightly to make a small pouf(not too much though..not like Amy Winehouse)before you put it on so it has volume in the front then you can always curl the ends.

edit : my other sister's friend has thin hair. she cuts it short/medium, i think it looks best when she curls it, doesnt take much time because its so short but the curls/waves makes a world of a difference.

 

[Ashcottmanor]

^Thanks! That helps a lot, I have a problem with curls too, I love them but they hate me They never stay, even if I spray them with hair spray my curls don't stay. I contemplated cutting my hair short a la Kellie Pickler bob but I have a really round face and I would just look like a little dutch boy. So cutting my hair short isn't an option unfortunately. I was also thinking about a perm not the little ringlets but the big curls, but I don't think I could live with when it grows out. Thanks for all your tips I am going to try them!

 

[cutxpaste]

so i got my hair japanese straightened last month and because my hair is so weird, it didn't really work. so now some of my ends are straight and others are wavy. it's so annoying. but i'm getting a stronger version of the straightener put on later this month so hopefully it will be ok.

 

[ravensWood]

I am growing my hair out again....and it grows so slowly....and I always forget that when I cut it short....sigh.

 

[vintagebaby]

^ ME too. I just got it cut super short, so short that I can't even tie it up. It's the Victoria Beckham slanted bob style.... I still don't know if I like it or not, but I definitely did cry a few tears over my long lost gone hair....
