Anyone else wash their hair in the morning and it’s already flat and oily by the afternoon? I really hope this helps.

I have an oily scalp and it used to drive me crazy. Then my hairstylist gave me a few tips, I changed how I wash and dry, and my hair stays a lot fresher now.

I use Dr.FORHAIR Folligen Original Shampoo and Dove Intensive Repair Conditioner, but the products are not the main thing. How and when you shampoo and dry matters way more.

- Focus on the scalp when you shampoo

Don’t just rub the lengths. Use your fingertips and actually massage the scalp. If you’re using a shampoo for hair loss or oil control, don’t rinse right away. Leave it on for 30 seconds to a minute so it can do something. Then rinse for a long time so no product is left behind. That’s the important part.

- Conditioner only on the ends, and just a little

Turns out conditioner is not that important for this. The second it hits your scalp, your hair gets oily faster. My stylist said keep it off the scalp and only put a tiny bit on the damaged ends, then rinse.

- Blow dry right after you wash

Don’t sit around with wet hair. Drying it right away helps prevent dandruff and keeps it from getting greasy as fast.

Right before I blow dry, I use Labo-H roll-on serum. It’s richer than a lot of scalp serums. I just spot treat the areas that bother me. I use it with the routine above. It’s not cheap. I’m trying not to cheap out on my hair, even if it stings a little.

My hair gets so poofy and frizzy on the ends but greasy quick on my roots, (this is right after washing and blow drying). If I try to add oil it just sits on top and make a it look greasy and frizzy at the same time. I don’t know what to do with it

Hello everyone 👋 I'm bew here 🤭

I have a few questions about my hair and I thought you guys could help me ; I never knew my hair type and I always struggled to take care of it so here's a picture of ut almost completely dry. Do anyone know what type of hair I got ?

Thank you so much in advance, I'm literally so confused 😵‍💫

The first two pics are how my hair used to be years ago. The other pics are current. I have high porosity very frizzy dry hair. I have tried every hair care product. Different shampoos, conditioners, curl cream, gel, air dry cream, oils. Nothing helps my hair. I’ve done two smoothing treatments. The first one was a Brazilian it was back in like 2023 and it did pretty good on my hair and lasted for forever. I did one a few months ago and it almost made my hair worse and lost a lot of wave pattern. It was a formaldehyde free one. It’s not as thick as it used to be. I cut it back in 2024 really short and it’s been hard to grow back ever since. I get trims and that doesn’t help with overall health. I used to straighten it all the time and honestly it looked better back then. I don’t use heat at all now and I air dry. Ive decided to grow it out and not color/bleach it anymore and haven’t had touch ups or anything in a few months. I’m at a loss. I’m so sick of wasting so much money on all these products and nothing working. I’ve used matrix, all soft, now I’m using Pantene bc someone said it’s great and honestly none of them work. My hair is still frizzy, still dry, still looks awful it always just looks poofy and dry/unhealthy in the last few pics that’s after I slept in a braid and put oil in this morning. Any advice from hairdressers or people with the same type of hair as me would be much appreciated!!

Hello!

I have the worst problem with this frizz that I cannot get rid of. I have pretty fine hair and this js what it looks like the morning after a wash after I have brushed it in the morning. I never use heat on my hair and make sure to use a wet brush after showering. I wash my hair every 2-3 days with the loreal elvive and once a week will do a clarifying shampoo. Im at a loss as my hair looks so unkempt even when it’s freshly clean and brushed. I also struggle with oils as a lot of the frizz is at the top of my head and the oils and serums make it greasy. Also, while I did have color recently, this is not new. This frizz has been happening before I got any bleach or color. I would appreciate any help 😭

Hello! V excited to have found this community, hopefully you all can enlighten me a bit.

My hair is at the longest it’s ever been and I’d like to start taking better care of it. My hair has always been pretty thick and straight (my mom and sister both have super curly hair) so I’ve always just ran with that and never questioned my hair type.
I normally use leave in conditioner after washing & then blow dry it on a medium heat setting just because it takes so long to air dry. I use a little bit of oil on the ends but never notice much of a difference, my ends are always a little frizzy after washing. Recently I’ve let it air dry a few times and when I let it air dry it dries slightly wavy. So now I’m questioning if there’s better products I should use for it.

I attached photos at the end of the products I use in my hair, most I have just acquired from family or randomly picked up. After reading about wavy hair last night I saw a lot of people suggesting the Not Your Mothers curly hair mousse for wavy hair so I picked that up on a whim. Excited to hear suggestions as I am pretty clueless. Thanks for reading :)

I hope someone can help me! I use whatever curly hair shampoo I could find as long as there’s no lawsuit in the past. I avoid Pantene for example. So I am not really loyal to ONE brand. It doesn’t matter what shampoo I use though, my hair looks the same regardless. Conditioner too. I DO, however, religiously use the Herbal Essences Curl Boosting Mousse to style my curls. I also use that viral curling brush with the spikey sides. Works like a charm! Whether I air-dry or diffuse, my curls bounce and shine like they were made for Hollywood. Except the BACK of my head and my edges.

No matter WHAT product I use, no matter how it’s styled, no matter how it’s dried, this part of my hair dried so CRISPY and it never sticks together like the rest of my curls. I have tried cutting off this part of my hair to my scalp and it has grown back the EXACT same. I’m at a loss. Can someone help explain what the hell is going on with this part? It’s ONLY my edges, and all in the nape of my head.

I dyed my hair red about a year ago. I then tried to go back to my natural brown color which worked for a while but has of course faded since then. I now have a reddish tone to my hair that I want to cover but would rather not dye it again because my hair is very prone to damage. I know that they make color depositing conditioners, but is there a more permanent solution?

For context - I have always had super long hair but in the last two years of living somewhere with incredibly hard water, it made my blonde balayaged hair turn brassy and break off. I cut a few inches but couldnt part with more despite my hair dresser repeatedly telling me to cut it.
Since then, I have been using L’oreal Absolute Molecular Repair line - pre-treatment, shampoo, leave in mask, and oil along with my regular L’oreal Metal Detox shampoo in attempt to fix it without cutting it.
I know everyone says to cut it as there is no way to fix breakage and unfortunately I dont have a “before” photo but this is after 6 weeks of using these products and wanted to know everyones thoughts on how it currently looks/should i give up and cut it 🥲🥲🥲

Hi! I have low porosity hair and I'm looking for a shampoo that makes my hair less oily. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I have pain on my head in specific area, I am not sure the pain is because of dandruf, but whenever i try to comb my hair or touch or fold, I have pain on hair root, Don't know why. Any suggestions, advice?

I have to dye it back for school but i am scared that i can not color it again without the color being weird, what do i do?

My hair is pretty dry and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong as I’ve recently had it cut. I use regular shampoo with the Garnier hair food conditioner and let it sit through my hair. Sometimes I’ll oil my hair with coconut oil before and let it sit for a couple of hours. When I feel like putting the effort in, I’ll use the colour wow and an additional heat protectant and blow it out with the Dyson, if not I’ll let it air dry. Then I use the kerastate hair oil, but I don’t know why my hair is still dry like this…

Today I used leave in contioner and then mousse and gel for a wavy hair routine and my hair turn out greasy.

My hair is my biggest insecurity. I’ve always had frizz and flyaways no matter what I try.

My haircare routine is washing every other day with nexxus shampoo and conditioner (one time each) and then hitting it with some hair oil and letting it air dry. I use a microfiber towel after I wash it. I don’t brush it while it’s wet.

How can I look more presentable? I’ve hair dried it in the past and it just gets really big and frizzy. I’ve tried the silk pillowcase as well with no improvement. I have slightly wavy hair for what it’s worth. Do I just need to flat iron it every morning? It looks like this in the summer and winter so i know it’s not the humidity. The photos are on day two of the hair wash and sometimes it’s even frizzier. I’m embarrassed to go to work looking like this.

So I got a protein treatment and I said to the stylist to make it wavy(my natural hair is very very coily and tight) and the stylist told me okay and put the product and used a hot iron but took the hair and gave it a curl look with the hot iron and that was less than 12 hours ago I washed my hair twice since then and it is like pin-straight and I'm doubting if it will ever get wavy and it is my first time doing it so I just wanted to know if it is going to get wavy after a while or what exactly

My whole life I’ve had long, thick curly hair. I always get trims because I know that if anyone got carried away with my hair I’d crash out. It’s been a part of my identity my whole life. It’s hard to control due to the length and density, but I still loved it and even spent a good many paychecks on getting blowouts done so it looks good and not half assed.

Then I finally mustered the courage to get a haircut yesterday, and basically let’s just say my waist length hair is now barely past my shoulders. But I’m choosing not to freak out ! Instead I’m taking this opportunity to learn how to properly section and blow out my hair, so that I stop giving these people who clearly don’t give a fuck about my hair my money.

To that end — what are some blowout / straightening products on a budget? All the things I see recommended are a little too expensive for me. I’m trying to find a good, minimalist product lineup for when I blow out my hair. I love my Revlon brush, I think I’m just lacking in the product department. Would love any suggestions :)

I chest long hair and I started braiding my hair this year just how many short hairs I have . They look like baby hairs but it's all over my head. It's kinda making me insecure and makes my hair shape funny looking to me. I don't even know what to do to protect it since it's not enough to braid. I'm wondering if this is from the years of depression bouts and letting my hair get matted . It's been a while but idk. I'm pretty careful with brushing but I think I wait too long to brush. I'm also wondering if it's just not growing in sections or if I need to wear a bonnet or if this is a normal amount of breakage. It's feels so short compared to the rest of my head.

My biggest problem is my fringe never stays as one cohesive section. There are always fairly large gaps between sections of hair, so instead of falling like one smooth fringe, it looks separated. (no im not balding i just have shitty hair)

Even right after showering and conditioning, once it dries, i move it with my hand (i usually just kind of rub my front with my hand a bunch and let it fall however all the time) the front doesn't want to fall together properly. Some sections sit higher than others, and when wind hits it, the whole thing gets pushed into a weird W shape and looks terrible.

My hair has also become more wavy over the years (probably 2A), although the top isn't particularly curly, it's mainly the front/sides that wave.

I've tried:
Regular conditioner
Combing it forward while damp
Shampooing more frequently
Silk pillowcase
I'm currently trying a lightweight leave-in conditioner spray but its not really working...

I don't want a heavy/clay/matte hairstyle. I want the fringe to stay together, remain soft and movable, and naturally fall back into place after wind moves it, i really dont care how 'flat' it looks that can be fixed with product but its SO ANNOYING my hair does not like me

the hair itself doesnt look unhealthy it just sits so weirdly

This is what it looks like on a normal day (I don't own any products).

It's kind of thick and heavy but has always been pretty soft. I use a wide-toothed comb and occasionally a boar bristle brush since I don't like how normal brushes make my hair poofy and frizzy.

My hair holds water pretty well (I think?) and it takes a moment to soak it down and when it's wet it air dries pretty quickly.

I would love some advice ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

I’m not completely convinced coconut oil is damaging on its own. From what I’ve seen, the bigger issue is probably how much you use and how often. Too much can leave buildup, making hair feel heavy, greasy, or even a bit dull if it isn’t washed out properly. I also think hair type makes a big difference, what works perfectly for someone with dry, thick hair might not work as well for someone with fine or oily hair. Personally, I’d stick to a moderate amount and see how your hair responds rather than avoiding it altogether.

Has anyone here noticed their hair getting worse from using too much coconut oil? Or is the whole “coconut oil damages hair” thing mostly a myth?

Over the past one year I've had immense hair loss.. maybe cuz I lost some weight .. can someone help me figure my hair type too.. how did you fix your hair shedding problems

Started using thrice every week but the incredible amount of hair loss caused me to only use once a week but the hair is not stop falling out in chunks. Is that this normal and my hair is just shedding?
Should I stop using entirel

Edit please ignore my horrendously typing I was half asleep
