I hate my hair - rant thread

[ibimus]

I have really thick hair and I want a shorter cut, but I hate all the extra volume. Any suggestions?

I have insanely thick hair, and I used to have a pixie cut! You will want to make they razor your hair, and using thinning shears. (which hurt like the devil, but work wonders!) The thinning shears remove all of the bulk at the roots and on the strands, and the razors taper everything very neatly at the ends.



Day. Bangs. Pitty. (mine are just now reaching a less awkward stage......took forEVER.)

Do your bangs seem to grow slower than the rest of your hair, or is it just me?

A thread that I can really relate too. I hate my hair. I really hate my hair. It has a fine texture when flat ironed but if it gets wet, it can be the most curly and wavy mess. I used to relax my hair but in college, I had a hair accident and had to cut most of it off. It took me five years but my hair is semi healthy, natural, and barely reaching my shoulders ::yay:: but I hate my hair. I've worn it in braids, corn rows, etc. Finally after some time, I found a really good natural hair stylist in LA. But right now, I live on the other side of the country. I officially hate my hair because I have not been able to find anyone as good as my hair miracle worker in LA.

I don't hate my hair, I just need to whine about it for a minute.

IT'S SO FLAT. IT'S HORRIBLE. IT'S SO DAMN FLAT SOMETIMES I WANT TO CALL TYRA BANKS AND GET HER TO RECCOMEND A WEAVEOLOGIST. And the worst part is my mom and my brother couldn't have any more hair, I was ripped off.

I've also wanted to go black or a rich brown forever, but my hair is naturally almost white blonde and all my life I've had people warning me never to dye it. I'd really like another opinion because all these people have made me chicken out forever and I swear, if one person agreed I'd look good darker I may do it. Only I know I wouldn't, because of how many times I've heard not too ... and I think this dilemma may actually be worse than how flat it is. I hate my stupid flat hair.

Right now my hair is an awkward grown-out version of my last haircut. It just hangs there. I have a ton of hair, buts it's fine, so it can get really flat. It looks so terrible right now.

DON'T DYE IT! Sorry, not what you wanted to hear, I'm sure.

I hate the limpness of my hair. My full, 'natural' waves are actually a combination of 3-5 hair products at any given time. So much hairspray, I can hardly run a comb through it some days

 

[__neversummer]

It is so damn straight. No matter what it looks like I went at it with a flat iron, and if I manage to get any waves in it. They're gone in 30 minutes.

here's something i absolutely hate about my hair.
when i just shampoo it and don't condition or put anything in it, it looks exactly how i want it to look


but when i condition it and put the stuff the hairdresser told me to put in it, it looks terrible! like a big ball of frizz

[madrid_qon]

Right now i'm having trouble getting rid of any build up in my hair. I really do look after my hair but for the last month i keep getting a really icky build up in my hair and i really do wash my hair out properly.
My shampoo is alright it's elvive, my conditioner is great it's herbal essences but for some reason if i don't use elvive conditioner with elvive shampoo my hair clogs up!

I'm right there with you. !
I hate having thick hair..

argh. ! when I wear my hair down and I straighten it before going clubbing or dancing, it always gets soo poofy and I look like I've run into an electric fence..
It doesn't help that I sometimes jump quite a bit when dancing and therefore looks more like a troll or bear...

Use a clarifying shampoo. Clear shampoos usually work best for removing build up but it should also say "clarifying shampoo" on the bottle.

my hair is not shoulder length yet and its all ugly but i want to let it grow out but i want ot cut it because of how ugly it is. ughhh

 

[DandyWarhol]

i cut some layers into my hair because i like to cut my own hair, but i dont like them! and now i have to wait until it grows out to cut it and have blunt hair again, but i want long luxurious blunt hair NOW.

 

[KhaoticKharma]

My hair looks awful, always does- sort of my trademark.


Now my mother has made me restricted from everything fun in life- unless I start doing my hair every morning and attempting to make it look decent.

I. Am. Screwed.
