Ok, ladies (especially those with hair experience) I want to change up my hair. The two pics on the left are for curl pattern purposes-that's my natural curl. The picture on the right is what I want to do. I'm fairly certain the models hair has some curling iron retouching and a lot of product, but do you think it's possible that my hair and curl could hold that cut without it being high maintenance? My hair is boob length now and I spend a lot of time styling it because it's too hot and heavy to wear down.
I use a t shirt. An old, well worn cotton one. My old hairdresser recommended it years ago and it's one of the best tips ever for curly hair.
I don't own a brush either, ice. I use a wide tooth comb in the shower to comb conditioner through, but I haven't actually brushed my hair since I was little. People with straight hair are always surprised by that. Lol
I use my hands to run product through-kind of scrunching as I go-and I always flip it over and shake to lift the roots a bit. You guys are definitely providing the support I need to chop it all off!
Thanks, Nes! ?. I go back and forth with the Shea line, ice. I feel like it builds up quickly. Brocato is my favorite line for products because they're created to be thinned out with water or mixed with conditioner/other products to adjust hold level.
I do use product in it, if I didn't it would be a huge wad of frizz. I don't use heat on it at all, with the exception of an occasional blow out. I used to straighten it frequently, but the damage was lasting. I need a style that I can wash, run some product through and head out the door. Sounds like this style might be perfect for that.
I have curly hair and I cut it like this probably 2ish months ago and I have seriously never in my life been so happy with a hair cut. It's so cute and so easy and it looks cute straight or curly. It looks good even when you know it could look better. Love it and I fought doing it for years. No regrets. Seriously.
I am a stylist, I say go for it. I've done this cut on curly hair before and it's super cute!! If you wear your hair straight and curly I'd go in with it straight and have them cut dry. If they say they "can't" that's BS and go to a different stylist. Otherwise have them style it after and make sure you like how it looks straight. If it looks good that way it will look good curly*. (Just reread your OP and no, it wouldn't be harder to style. Just mousse/gel and a shine/frizz preventer and scrunch ?)
It was definitely a defining moment for me lol.
I was 6 weeks PP and I needed a drastic change.
I colored my hair but it wasn't enough so I figured chopping off 10-12 inches would suffice. Lol.
I had more confidence in myself and my SO than the hairstylist. They always mess up curly hair.
You're braver than me, mamabear. I wouldn't even attempt to cut my own. I know my limitations and that is definitely one of them.
I cut my own hair.
I YouTube cutting a Bob.
I put my hair in a ponytail pulled the hair around my ears a little and chopped the ponytail off. I had a real nice long in the front short in the back Bob.
Since my hair is curly it's hard to see any indiscretions or uneven lines.
I wanted it shorter so I did it again I messed up but my SO finished the back for me and made it straight. I love my hair and I spent no money on it.
The devacurl salons near me all charge an arm and a leg to cut, I'm talking $100+, but I am impressed with the results they achieve. I just can't justify that price.
I think you could pull this off. I would recommend using mousse to hold the curl and tame any frizz(idk how humid it is in your area) also someone who works often on curly hair would be a great idea. People who don't have curly hair think just anyone can do it, butbits pretty difficult
I think as long as I can find a stylist who understands curl shrinkage, I should be ok. Losing my stylist of 15 years when we moved cross country was seriously traumatizing. Thanks, ladies.
Absolutely. My hair has. Similar curl to yours. I cut it short a month ago and love it. It is very easy to manage. I just put in a little curl cream then some mousse to hold the curl a bit.m and it lasts all day. Let it air dry or I use the deva curl diffuser just to get dry the roots a bit. Good luck. You'll look great!!
I actually have quite a few layers, they're just long. The top pic was heavily layered (obviously) but I grew it out when I was pregnant. I need the layers lifted desperately, but haven't found a stylist I trust enough to do it. If anyone lives in the low desert area of SoCal and knows a stylist that's good with curls, I'll take those recommendations as well. Lol. I've never had mine cut dry, awesome, did you notice a difference?
I think yours would look similar although not exact due to how much they have retouched these curls with a curling iron. I have curly hair too & I get pretty good results with a diffuser and scrunching with a good mousse, and the frizz ease serum. I would go to someone who really knows what they are doing with curly hair & take this pic with you. Sometimes they will cut mine dry. Depends on that particular stylists technique.
The length of my hair definitely pulls out the curl-it's curliest when it's short (it's even curlier in the top pic because it's about 6 inches shorter than the bottom). I just don't want to cut it and then spend just as much time keeping it styled as I do now with it so long.
I hear a lot of times they straighten the hair out an recurl it. I have hair like yours, although it is a perm it does look like yours. I mouse it and I use this conditioning gel made by garner that works well. Sometimes if the day is really humid I'll use hair spray. Then at the end of the day I condition all the product out. And use some leave in conditioner to keep it healthy.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
