Deep conditioner and straightening cream?

2009-07-17T07:05:48Z

My hair is very bushy/frizzy/coarse/color treated/bleached with peekaboo highlights.

I've been using Loreal's straigtening cream for when I flat iron my hair but it doesn't seem to be working like it used to. When I flat iron it helps keep the style but my hair still feels a little dry. I don't flat iron it or blow dry it that often anymore so it can't be that I do it too often. I'd like something that keeps the style but also protects the hair. I'd prefer a cream because with sprays my hair feels very stiff and dry afterwords.

For deep conditioner I've been using Neutrogena's Triple moisture and it works okay but I'd like to know what else is out there in case I decide to try something new.

Thanks in advance! :)

I have no idea what color to dye my hair. after i get rid of the black of course.
I'm really open to any ideas. I just don't know what will look good with my skin tone! thankss

I'm changing my hair this weekend!

2009-07-17T04:30:25Z

oyez. I'm stuck as to what to do. I'm thinking of bleaching my hair ridiculous amounts. Yes? and then add the dark brown around my face and possibly the back. I also need to layer the back of my head. haha. I'm so hair dumb. These are my plans at the moment, but I'm totally up for suggestions. I definitely need suggestions. I haven't done anything this odd in YEARS! so please, inputs? tiny time line: october. june.

So I need bangs, I think. I had the side-swept bangs for as long as I can remember. They've been pretty grown out for the majority of this year... and I'm bored.
I'm also thinking about changing my cut and color up a bit.

opinions?

Darker- January-ish:

Lighter- June:

This is what I'm thinking.. maybe?

2009-07-17T02:34:15Z

I want tooooooooooooooo...

go back to my natural color!

which is a nice honey/ashy blonde.

THE QUESTION IS...

Should I go for it and bleach it, or just wait for my black to grow out?
I'm kindddd of impatient.

My hair's pretty short, so not much damage should be done.

Does anyone have experience with conditioners from Bath & Body Works? My mom is gaga over the sales they have, so now my bathroom counter has a bunch of body sprays and conditioners from them. I'm interested in a certain conditioner called Warm Vanilla Sugar. It smells heavenly, and it's supposed to deeply moisturize. My hair could stand to be in better condition. (Huge understatement.)

the best place in greater vancouver to:

2009-07-16T23:54:22Z

i was thinkin going more of a platinum and maybe put another color in?
i also wanna do something different thouugh.
i was hopin i could get some haircut suggestions as well?
i would really appreciate it :) <3

i don't know what to do with my hair.

2009-07-16T23:36:42Z

i got a cut a few weeks ago that was almost no change from my previous hair, except it brought a new dimension of trouble in regards to my bangs. and i guess this is where the story shall begin.

sorry some of these pictures are weird. i guess i didn't re-size them enough? haha.

this was back in february, maybe. i didn't know what to feel about it.

one month later. my hair grows quickly.

lol i'm wearing the same shirt as the first picture. this was the last day of school, about a month ago.

anyway, then i got my hair cut. i had a lot of pictures but i can't seem to find them.

as you can see, my bangs began to develop an attitude of its own and went on to part as it wanted to.

and sometimes it would look just plain... odd.

it looks okay, i guess, when i wear glasses. i had to do a bit of trimming afterward that didn't seem to make much of a difference.

maybe i shouldn't take it off? notice the stubborn bang part still present!

zoom out.

what do you make of this random strand of hair? it bothers me a lot and i'm sorry if you can't really see it, but it was supposed to "connect" my old bangs (see first pic) and when i got it cut the person there didn't seem to even touch it.

i decided to stop being lazy and took another picture of it (sorry, it's shaky):

any and all advice is appreciated.

i tried some hair spray before but it didn't work out the way i wanted it to, and thus i went overboard with it and my hair became one solid mass. i wouldn't like to repeat that again. i am pretty much incompetent with all beauty tools (hey, my eyebrows look nonexistent in some pictures!) so yeah. but if you guys are willing to give me step-by-step, slow instructions, i'm pretty sure i could follow through with them. i'm just not good with it by myself. :(

THANKS GUYS.

wella hair color

2009-07-16T22:06:31Z

This is me:

and I would like to color my hair similar to these shades:

so basically a darker chocolate brown with a red tint.

Which Wella hair color(or any good hair coloring brand from Sally's) would give me the closest results.

Pictures of your hair colored with the product you suggest would be great!

My hair...

2009-07-16T21:45:24Z

Ok, so ive been looking on MRH for years but this is my first post it, and Lj too D:
So anyways, im getting a hair cut on Monday and have no idea what to do with my hair =/

This is me today: (sorry about bad webcam pics, my camera has died on me)

and my hair about a month ago to give a better idea of length:

sorry if the photos are to big! i have no idea how to use Lj yet, just let me know and ill try to sort it out

So any ideas?
I was thinking some sort of side fringe, and more layered or something? Or maybe something completely different. I have no idea when it comes to stuff like this so any help is appreciated!!
Thank you! :)

box dye = ?

2009-07-16T21:07:52Z

Hello mrh, I haven't posted here in like, two years. I have a simple question.

I used a box dye that came out very much on the "golden" side, even though it claimed to be a natural tone. The next time I dye, if I use an ash toned color, will it turn my hair grayish or green or something hideous like that? I've never used ash, nevermind on top of something basically yellow-orange. Here are a couple of photos of my color now, but it looks a lot more yellow in person:

help?

2009-07-16T20:59:28Z

Hi there! My name is KD and I'm new to the community. (definitely let me know if I'm doing anything wrong.)
I'm going to get my hair done later on in the day and I'm not quite sure how I want to cut it. I know that I'm going to bleach it and what not, but I'm not sure what to do with the cut/style. Right now my hair is at the longest it has ever been and I love having long hair, but I used to always have short hair and sometimes I miss it. So I was just wondering what you guys thought about what I should do to my hair. Thanks! &here is a picture of my current hair.

something fun for summer

2009-07-16T20:47:02Z

Before:

After:

a little timeline and a big mistake.. [FIXED THE AFTER PICS!]

2009-07-16T18:51:03Z

So I recently cut my hair, two times in about three weeks. I just kept going shorter and I think I made a mistake. =[ Here's a timeline and a before and after of the last couple of weeks. Should I grow it out again? Keep it short? Upgrade/downgrade? TIA!!
this is from february, i loved my hair here..

march/april, the best my hair has looked. my favorite hair color also.

early may, i always wore little pigtails and the front straightened.

later may, bangs clipped up because they were unruly.

almost june, bangs clipped back and pigtails.

june, the first cut i did. pretty short, but i liked it.

late june, grown out a bit.

early july. grown out length from the first cut.. dyed it red and curled it.

so that would be the before picture.. and this is the horrific outcome of me getting ahold of some scissors and being bored..

the sides and back are probably around an inch, and the top is around four inches. it's basically a fauxhawk/pixie horrible thing. i regret it =[

but anyways, what do you guys think? what cut suited me best? should i keep it shorter, or grow it out? and what about colors? thank you!

HELPPPPPPPP!!!! T___T

2009-07-16T18:36:59Z

Okay so I might cut my hair later today.
And I'm having the worst time deciding what new haircut I'd like to have.

I haven't cut my hair in over a year, I've been growing out horrible past haircut that left me with a bad half mullet/half bowl cut.

Now that my hair is at medium length, I find it rather boring :/
Also my hair is really thick and my bangs are way too long now

However, I want to keep the length of my hair!! T____T

So I was wondering if anyone has any ideas to share >__<
I desperately need them and they'll be greatly appreciated!<33

This is my current hair:

I usually wear it like this all the time.
Wavy-ish.

Lol excuse the face.

Here it is straightened
Excuse the stupid face :[

And here it is when wet

I was consider haircuts like these =D

I love how they're all layered

Any opinions guys? >3<
Please and thank you so much!<333

upgrade? downgrade?

2009-07-16T17:43:57Z

Before:

I love it. But the blue is so hard to keep off the white :( I don't know if that will last.

If my panels get ruined...should I just put blue over them? Or another color??

Thanks!

Toner

2009-07-16T16:41:29Z

Have any of you ever used this toner?

It's Torrids #003V Reckless Sand(the text is small in the picture). I've been using a different shade for probably a few years now, I just wanted to try something different. It almost never turns out the same way the hair swatch or whatever those things are called at Sally's looks, so if you have used this, can you post a picture of the color it turned out?
Thanks.

suggestions?!

2009-07-16T16:12:22Z

alright, so, I had long hair my whole life. then i went to cosmetology school and cut it all off and that was so fun! then, a couple years ago, i decided to grow it out. it has taken SO long for my hair to get...long again, ha.

now i am bored (and my hair is a lot finer/stringier than i remember it being...) and i want to do something, but it took so long to grow that i am not yet ready to go short.

here are some photos

my hair when it was shorter:

and here is me now...

and from the back:

pretty (boring?) huh?

so...i mean, i don't want to lose all of my length. i'm thinking of mostly doing something with the back - taking the length up there. so, shorter in the back, longer in the front. i like to have hair around my face. i don't want the hair in the back (or anywhere, i guess) to be shorter than my shoulders. at least not yet, it took too long for me to get my length!

any suggestions for something medium length and fun? i like the hippie look (need length!) but i also like funky stuff. i want to be able to play with it.

this has nothing to do with my hair, but here is a photo of the awesome hair i gave my sister this weekend:

just thought i'd share for the hell of it.

anyway, thanks!

Hayhay pictures.

2009-07-16T15:14:07Z

I'm looking for pictures of good melting techniques that I can show my hairdresser. I've currently got blonde highlights with a really warm dark-golden blonde low-light and I want to keep the colors, but do something with less maintenance required. Anyone?

Help me turn words into a picture

2009-07-16T14:15:12Z

My SIL wants to get a new haircut. She wants to keep it longer overall but she wants lots of short choppy layers on top (for volume I guess?) and no emo (combover) bangs please. Other bangs are ok. Seemed fairly simple I think but I suck at finding pictures, thanks

madradhair @ 2009-07-16T05:21:00

2009-07-16T09:26:26Z

i really want to get an asymmetrical haircut, but NOT a bob. all i can find is pictures of asymmetrical bobs. what i want is to keep my sideswept bangs, make the right side of my hair pretty short, not pixie, but close & keep the left side long, just layer it some more and trim it up. if anyone has any pictures of a medium length asymmetrical haircut, could you please please please post them? i need the photo to go to the salon...this haircut is too risky to try to explain without a photo...

Help?

2009-07-16T06:35:12Z

I'm doing my hair soon and I'm just wondering if any of you know how to achieve this look...
Sorry the pic's small, it's all I could find. You get the general idea. I do my own hair because it's not worth hundreds of dollars to get it done in a salon when I can achieve the same look at home. This one looks a little more tricky though. My hair is already that shade of blonde all over...Anyone know where the black in her hair is placed on her head? Or a website that could explain this to me?
Thanks:D
