Need a new style for curly hair?

I'm a 31 year old mom of 3 and I have long hair (just below shoulder length) that is a mixture of curly and wavy (curly on top, wavy underneath). I haven't had it cut for 6 months because I've been trying to grow it out - but now I don't know what to do with it! I need a new style, but I'm not sure what would work. I've had it short before and I looked too old - someone thought I was ten years older! Any ideas? (pics would be great)

Need a new style for curly hair?

My hair is the exact same but longer. I know what you are going through. I had my hair cut in layers and it added more volume but at the same time gave me a fresh look without having my hair to short. It makes it a lot easier to put it up in cute pony tails too :) Good luck

Need a new style for curly hair?

i know being a mother of three doesnt give you much time to 'do' your hair, but try cutting it shoulder length and straighten it with a CHI straightener. also, you can try to use shampoo's that help straighten your hair, like Herbal Essences pin straight shampoo. sorry if im no help.

because my hair is dark and when she bleached it, it camw out bad !! i figured it would look better once she dryed it .. she styled it and CUT my side baangs to the middle of my forehead !!!!!!!! when she was done i was mortified !!!! i started to cry !! it looked that bad ! so i went home crying and my mom took me back ..to the salon and the salon said that she was the only one who could fix it..so she dyed it dark with few highlights at the bottom and what not... but my bangs were still short !! and my hair felt really coarse !!!! the next day i washed my hair and the dark color is coming out !!! WHAT CAN I DO TO FIX MY DAMAGED HAIRRR !!! please help im crying i look so ugly

Hair is damaged from dying it !!!!! what can i do !!! =[?

well your not supposed to wash your hair until 48hours after you dye it.

maybe get a semi permanent dye when that fades to much

and wait for your bangs to grow out.

Maybe clip them back or use a headband :]

go to a beuty salon

Hair is damaged from dying it !!!!! what can i do !!! =[?

well while ur waiting for the orange to come out get some long-lasting dark hair dye to put over your whole head until the orange is completely gone. Also...don't forget to get a root touch-up...that would be embarrasing. If u get hair dye to cover up the orange...make sure it looks like ur natural color, or whatever u had it before u got the orange. This way when the orange is gone...u dont have to worry about having to keep dying ur hair. Also...make sure to test the dye first on a small strand of orange so that u kno it doesn't react to it in an odd way before u do it to ur whole head.

And for ur bangs...I would get some of those simple little snap-clips and put ur bangs up wit hsome of ur longer hair...makes it look like ur puting ur hair up that way. or u could get a headband and just wear it like normal, but put ur bangs underneath it.

I'm sorry you had to go through such a nightmarish experience with this alleged hair stylist. On the positive side, hair does grow out . . .

I can recommend a line of products that you can get at Whole Foods Market, which I have used on my own colored hair. It re-hydrates, and gives life back to damaged hair. It's a line called 'Giovanni,' and it's made from natural ingredients, including botanicals. It uses no artificial colors, preservatives, or fragrances.

I want my hair like Vanessa Hudgen's new haircut, my hair is thick and blunt, suggestions?

I really like Vanessa Hudgen's new haircut, the straight style, but my hair is thick, not bushy, just thick and I can straighten it and all.

I would really like my hair cut like her's but I need a way to get rid of the thickness and the bluntness, I have heard of thinning, so if anyone knows more about that process, if you could tell me a little more about it. Also if you could tell me what to tell the stylist who is cutting my hair, also should I bring pictures, I have bangs swept like hers, I just want them a little but shorter, like hers.

If you guys have any suggestions, I would really appreciate it, thanks!

First, if you have a boyfriend, see if he likes the way your hair is already; if that is so, you could save yourself some money. Also, if you really want to do it; not every hairstyle is suitable for every kind of hair; you could talk with a competent stylist and see if you can do it, without it being a "disaster".

Long straight black hair...?

Hello everyone,

I have extremely long straight black hair that hangs down shorter in the front and sometimes I don't know what to do with it. I braid it on occasion and put it in a low ponytail with elegant hair accessories for a dressy look. Messy buns and high ponytails are casual and fun too but I would like to have more a variety of styles. Does anyone have any ideas? Quirky styles are acceptable too!

Thank you much

Long straight black hair...?

heres a few things you can try.

im guessing you have straight hair so when you wake up in the morning wip out the curling iron and you can wave certian parts of your hair. you can do the ends of a bunch or just here and there for a messy cute look.

another thing you can try is headbands. get some really sweet looking ones.

be creative, thats what its all about

Long straight black hair...?

try putting your hair up in a high ponytail befor you go to sleep

then you but rollers(not hot) onto your hair while its still in a ponytail. when you wake up take out the rollers and your hair should be curly at the ends. then you fix up the ponytail and if you want you can let down a thick strand of hair from your bangs. you get the curling iron and curl that strand. it looks very pretty and elegant. but its also sumthing you can wear to the mall.

Long straight black hair...?

try getting a wavy perm to add volume to your hair.

I dyde my hair pink and the balck again, did the bleach dissapear from my hair, can I paint it pink

want to paint it again, the area were it was pink (the later black) turned a light brown what does this mean?

My natural hair color is black

My cousin is a cosmotologist and she bleached (part of it only) and then painted the areas withj pink color (the color was in a small envelope the was called "Crazy Color"

After 8-9 washed the color started to fade and i painted the areas that were pink black again

(A month later) I washed 8-9 and now the areas that i painted over are now light brown

I wonder if the bleach is still on my hair or did my cousin take it off with some chemicals?

Im 14 and i want to color (the previous areas) pink and purple.

When i go to the tenth grade im going to cut it all short and get a new style, maybe like Posh Spice. But i want to know if my hair is still bleached after the previous procedures

P.S. My hair is not like my avatar, is to shoulder length and in layers

I dyde my hair pink and the balck again, did the bleach dissapear from my hair, can I paint it pink again?

did she use a color stipper, then you you died it black, now the black has washed off and it's a light brown color? that's alot of processing in such a short time but yes you can put pink on the light brown parts, i would hold off on adding any more black for a while though. black dye is really harsh on your hair

I dyde my hair pink and the balck again, did the bleach dissapear from my hair, can I paint it pink again?

You do not want to bleach your hair over and over as it weakens the hair and will break it off. You would be better off to get a permanent dye a dye it back to it's natural color till you are ready to make the next change to it. Your cousin may tell you it is okay and won't hurt it. I cannot see the hair perhaps she is right but I wouldn't want to chance my hair breaking it looks rel bad when it breaks off and can only be fixed by cutting it off.

Where can I get an Asian haircut in Minnesota?

I live in the twin cities and was wondering where I could get a Japanese style haircut. I have short hair and want that really piecy, point cut look, almost like emo or punk hair. So far I havn't had any luck and always end up with the hair with lots of tiney spikes instead of fewer bigger ones. Any help?

Where can I get an Asian haircut in Minnesota?

If you go to a Japanese steakhouse, they have a lot of knives and I'm sure they can help. Also, Asian people don't have a distinct type of hair, so what is an Asian haircut?

Where can I get an Asian haircut in Minnesota?

Do it yourself. Get a bowl, put it over your head and cut whatever is not covered up by the bowl.

Where can I get an Asian haircut in Minnesota?

I don't know where... Just find a picture of the hairstyle you want, print it out, and show it to the hairstylist. They should be able to cut it that way. :)

Something like that?:

I want to get my hair to look like this. What Products would I need?

My hair is a bit longer then this cut. Im going to get it cut like this, or something like this, in a few hours. So, what products would you suggest I get to make it lay down flat and stuff.

Also do you know of any really good straightening Shampoos and conditioners, because my hair is naturally curly, and I straighten it everyday....and this style needs my hair to be really straight! Thanks muchly!

I want to get my hair to look like this. What Products would I need?

I just got my hair drastically cut on Friday, so I feel your pain. Since it seems that you straighten your hair every day, why not look in to getting chemically straightened, instead? If your hair is on the quite curly/kinky side, then it will make it more wavy and you will still need to straighten it, but the job will be much easier.

If your hair is inbetween that, like mine, if you get it chemically straightened, it should only take you two to three minutes of upkeep each day. Since the style seems to be a shag, i would reccommend a light touch of anti-frizz cream after youve straightened it...just a little blob on your palms, rub it around and run your palms over sections of your hair. I use Suave anti-frizz cream. It comes in a teal bottle and is very inexpensive. (Walmart)

After the anti-frizz cream, I would try a moulding wax perhaps, or something of that type. Remember, wax stays in forever! Perhaps a pomade instead, just to get it the direction you want. Try a light touch at first then run your iron through your hair and comb it through with one of those simple black ones that the old men use. (97 cents at Walmart)

Eventually your hair will train itself to do what you want. Be persistant, it will take a little bit. Watch your hair stylist closely and ask lots of how questions. If he/she is a good stylist, they will be more than happy to explain what they are doing to help you create your style at home. ask what type of products they reccommend also, instead of brands.

Hope you love your haircut, and best of styling luck!
