PLEASE HELP!!! Hair growth problem!!!?

I just got a haircut yesterday, and of course the lady cut off way more than I wanted...I don't mind it at all, but the only problem is, I have a confirmation (which is a pretty big thing for us) in one month, and I really really want my hair to grow out longer (it's a pretty glamorous occasion). I know hair only grows at an average rate of 1/2 an inch a month, but I'm desperate, I'm determined to do whatever it takes to have it grow maybe a few inches. It sounds crazy, but my hair is pretty thick and it does grow faster than most people, but I really need tips, advice, remedies, solutions, WHATEVER it takes for it to grow. Please, whatever suggestions, tips, or solutions you may have, let me know. Please, I need your advice! Thanks!

How do you curl thin hair that wont curl??!!?

i have reallly thin hair and it wont curl without loads of hairspray i want big country curls but i cant get that any tips!!!!????

How do you curl thin hair that wont curl??!!?

Use a mega hold hair gel on damp hair. Use a set of tiny hot rollers on dry hair--- approx. 1/2" in diameter. Take small sections of hair (1/2") and wrap them in spiral around the roller from top to bottom. Wait until the rollers are completely cold before removing. Unroll slowly to maintain the shape of the curl. The curls will hold longer with a light spritz of non-sticky hairspray before you separate the strands. After spray sets, carefully separate the curls with your fingers.

If hot rollers are not your thing, take the 1/2" sections of hair while still damp (still using hair gel) and coil them to your scalp. Use a clip or bobby pin to hold each coil. When hair is dry, remove pins and follow the same procedure as above.

You can always get a loose curl perm..

but hairspray is probably nessecary.

How do you curl thin hair that wont curl??!!?

Get layers cut into your hair for more volume.

Put a special salt solution into your hair that gives it more grip, I can't remember the name I'm afraid (ask your hairdresser for this)

Use a very small barrelled curler, as a large barrel just isn't going to work.

I'm afraid to keep the look you're going to have to use some hairspray. But it doesn't have to be sticky and heavy - use Elnett (I swear by it I've used it throughout my life), it's perfect and comes out with the stroke of a brush if you're not happy with it.

use a curl activator. they have some you use when you wash your hair and they have some you use when your hair is not wet.

How do you curl thin hair that wont curl??!!?

i have the same type of hair girl. its all abut the product that you put in first. im a hairdresser so i have access to a lot of different types of products. and my fav out of all them is johnathan product, and garnier fructis, you know the green stuff. you can actually get it at wal mart or something. get something called hair wear. its in a small green tub. i thnk its like four bucks. but, if you cant get anything, just use a good mousse before you curl, and then a good holding spray at he end. the trick to having your hair hold is how you curl it itself. let me see if i can explain this.. lol take small three inch portions of your hair, put the curling iron (not the big sizes, we need a smaller size cause our hair wont hold it) ..put the iron int he middle of the hair portion... then roll up to the top, you should have some hair sticking out from the bottom. hold it for about twenty sec, and then push the release button, which should release the hair sticking out, and now get rolled into the rest of he hair portion you are curling. roll all the way to the top, and then hold for thirty sec. see the top is thicker and needs to be hotter, if the top curl holds the bottom will most likely as well.

sorry this is the best i could explain.

My hair????????????????

my hair is a dark brown. it is very wavy and can get really ugly. I dont straighten my hair or anything. i just straighten my side bangs. After i shampoo and blow dry it(i blow dry it without a roundbrush) it gets really big and ugly. I use neutregena shampoo. SHould i use a different shampoo? sometimes my hair gets nice and wavy the day afte i shampoo. tell me what hair products and what shampoos please!!

My hair????????????????

Hi, I think you need to switch hair products. It seems like you need products that can help you mange your hair better, particularly since you do not blow dry it or otherwise style it. I would suggest a less-frizzy inducing shampoo, my friend likes "Flat-Out" shampoo, he has very curly brown hair, and this really helps manage it, it can be found in salons world-wide and online at retailers like Amazon.com. In addition, you really need to condition EVERY time you shampoo...it is really the conditioner/moisturizer you put in your hair that is going to determine its condition and manageability. I think you can try out several to find the right one, you can try the Flat Out conditioner, I also really like KMS conditioners, and even Pantene or "Mane %26amp; Tail." Actually, I would highly recommend "Mane %26amp; Tail" shampoo , it has won numerous industry awards and is the shampoo of choice for stars like Jennifer Aniston...I have tried it, and consider it one of the best shampoos out of 15 years of every shampoo out there! :-D Also, the best source for product matches is to ASK YOUR HAIR-STYLIST/SHAMPOO person when you get a cut! They are the best judge of the current condition of your hair and the MOST knowledgeable about what specific products would be best. Take care!

My hair????????????????

leave it wet its sexy

My hair????????????????

Which hair you talkin' 'bout?

My hair????????????????

use conditioner too i hope...try a new brand

My hair????????????????

Just don't blow dry your hair and it wot go frizzy maybe you could let it dry naturally and your hair will have natural waves. Remember to add some mousse to keep it in longer. I hope this helps.

My hair????????????????

I used dove. Some people it works some it doesnt. My mom has curly hair and uses VO5. I dont like it that much but my moms hair is awesome!

My hair????????????????

After you blow dry it, use a shining serum in your hair, this will calm it down and give it a shine. The next day your hair always looks better because it has it's own natural oils in it by then.

My hair????????????????

i use the shampoo and the conditioning Kiwi, and a mask from salerm. it's great, it's a little more expensive but who cares! the conditioner makes my hair very smooth, giving me just the volume i want. the mask issss greattttt it's a yellow box with green details. u can find at salons. but the kiwi set u find at cvs, or any pharmacy.

My hair????????????????

use after the wash some hair gel...then dry your hair -in one palm tne dryer and in the other make a cup of your's handhold and put hair in it and dry it...in the end it will look curly but beautiful and with a wet aspact...try it...it really looks nice and interesting...hope i helped uh...(advice from a teen:P )

My hair????????????????

Use a leave in conditioner- try an anti-pouf one.

My hair????????????????

My hair is exactly as you described, and i have always used herbal essence shampoo and conditioner for color treated hair, even if your hair isn't colour treated it seems to be more moisturising. Then i use the herbal essence gel, for curly or wavy hair it iis in a purple-pink tube, called high humidity. After i wash my hair i gently squeeze the excess water out with a towel , put about a quarter size amount of the gel too much makes it prett sticky, try to start from the ends and work it in all through. Then i would use a diffuser(wavy hairs best friend) and very lightly scrunch your hair, for extra volume flip your head upside down while you dry it . Don't dry it completely dry though it is best to leave it a BIT damp. And voila!! you should have nice defined curls, not a big frizzy mess.. The only way i can totally straighten my hair is with a lot of time and a flat iron.

My hair????????????????

Try something from the Phyto line, you can find it at Bath and Body Works flagships or online. I have rather curly and unmanagable hair somedays, but this stuff has a build-up effect (the longer you use it the better it works) that last even with shampooing and conditioning (when you apply more of course). Other than that I would suggest trying something made for straightingin hair like John Frieda Shiny and Straight products, they also work well.

HOW do i get this style? my hair is about the right length I just need to part it correctly!!?

HOW do i get this style? my hair is about the right length I just need to part it correctly! for some reason my hair doesnt seem to fall right, I've tried using a big round brush and curling irons and it never seems to work. I NEED MORE VOLUME!!! I also use XXL garnier frutic mousse and root lifter... whats happening??

HOW do i get this style? my hair is about the right length I just need to part it correctly!!?

TEAAAASE your hair. Teasing is your friend! I've included a link below that gives you step by step instructions. Once you tease your hair and give it volume, all you have to do is lightly comb it down and it will still maintain its volume. Make sure you use lots of hairspray so your hair wont go limp. The products you say you are using sound good, especially root lifter, so I think its just in the technique rather than the products. Good luck!

HOW do i get this style? my hair is about the right length I just need to part it correctly!!?

try teasing ur hair then barley brush over that and it will be volumeizd!

HOW do i get this style? my hair is about the right length I just need to part it correctly!!?

Using a curling iron and curcl the tips of your hair into your face then if you don't already have bangs take a section of your hair and make a far part, creating the illusion of bangs.

HOW do i get this style? my hair is about the right length I just need to part it correctly!!?

Get a hand mirror and stand with your back to a wall mirror. Look at the back of your head. Note the natural swirl of hair. It will be clockwise or counterclockwise. Part your hair and brush it so that it goes with the swirl, not against it. It should fall right.

HOW do i get this style? my hair is about the right length I just need to part it correctly!!?

I find that Garnier frutic products dont work, minus the shampoos and conditioners. Anyways, Leave your hair unwashed without products for one day so that you have a little oil to work with. Next, apply a light mouse (I like GOT 2 B too sexy volumizing mouse) massaging into the scalp only (applying to your ends will weigh hair down) and blowdry upside down. Flip hair over and part hair then take upper half and pin up. Take a round brush (perferably ionic or boar bristel and spritz a light hairspray on a 2 inch section of hair and blowdry curling towards your face. Do that for your bottom layer and then take your top layers down 2 inches at a time and continue doing that as well.

how to get big hair is to tease it, and u tease it by spraying hairspray on your hair, then running a brush towards your head, making it bigger and bigger...

to get curly hair, you can just curl your hair wiht a curling iron, or scrunch it when you get out of the shower...

and to get wavy hair, you simply follow these instructions!

Making waves

One of the simplest ways to get pretty waves is to use large-barreled curling irons (as they are now more fashionably called). Mathew Soobroy, Salon Manager at Charles Worthington's Percy Street salon, London W1 (0207 631 1370) gives these step-by-step tips:

Starting at the nape of the neck, divide your clean, dry hair into chunky sections, spraying them with a heat-protective styling product.

Comb through each section so the product is evenly distributed .

Clamp your curling irons over the ends of the section and wind them up the length of the hair, stopping about four inches from the scalp.

This will ensure a loose, modern look

Leave the curling irons in the hair for five seconds then gently unwind and repeat the process, working from the back of the head around to the front, until all of your hair has been curled .

Carefully use your fingers to break up sections of larger curls for a softer look.

Finish with shine-enhancing serum or hairspray

Yeah sure, Big and curly hair can look so bad some of the times. But I have some really good hairstyles here which looks really good on wavy hair, have a look at them and see which ones are good for your hair:

How to style it and make it less frizzy and smoother/silkier:

Before you shampoo and condition, apply fruit juice mixtures onto your hair.

First shampoo and condition your hair very well.

Second use a roller brush and continuosly brush it by splitting your hair into small sections. You can use hair rollers to get fine curls and bangs for a great look.

And apply a smooth shine gel or spray to get rid of the frizz.

Hope this helps!

Or ask your hairdresser for the look you wanted!!

Will dying damaged hair darker make it break off like bleach would?

my hair is naturally a dark blonde color. some people even mistake it as brown(but its not) and ive always highlighted it light blonde. a year ago i dyed it and it came out awful;a coppery yellowish color. i regreted it big time. i knew if i dyed it again after that it would come out even worse. i decided to try and let my natural hair color grow out.. but when it got about half way i stupidly dyed it blonde again because the 2 different colors looked trashy. it came out about the same ugly color it was before; but now its real dry and damaged %26amp; has lots of split ends. now my natural hair color has grown about 2 inches and it looks really trashy (once again) and totally lowers my confidence. if i went to a salon and asked them to dye my hair my natural hair color(which would be a darker color)would it make my hair break off? or does dying damaged hair darker make it worse?.or do i need to wait a year %26amp; a half for my natural hair to grow out.. which would be my last resort

Will dying damaged hair darker make it break off like bleach would?

I would let my hair "rest" for a little while ...

I would go and get my ends trimmed regularly ...then I would do some at home deep conditioning. You can go to Sally's Beauty Supply and get a good "deep" conditioner you can either get it in packs or a jar of it ...i would recommend getting a jar ..and its not really expensive and get a pack of processing caps. Then I would wash my hair then apply a generous amount of conditioner and then put on a processing cap then take a thin damp towel and microwave it for 35-45 seconds and wrap it around your hair. I would leave this on for an hour or longer if you want just remember to keep reheating the towel. Then when you are done rinse really well and at the end of the rinse turn the water to cold and rinse really quick in just cold water. I would do this two or three times a week if time will allow it . Drink lots of water and try to eat healthy and remember to get your hair trimmed and try and let your hair air dry whenever you can and your hair will start to get healthy again. And when your ready you can still use your flat iron and things just remember to do a deep conditioning at least once a week even once your hair gets healthy.....

Hope this was helpful ~~

Good Luck ~~

You can good a good deep conditioning treatment or jar at Sally's and it isn't expensive and make sure you ask the clerk there that it is a color safe product, i feel certain it will be but you never know. I try alot of the home remedies and most of them work.....just be careful if you try them because a few of them did lightened my color ... :(

Will dying damaged hair darker make it break off like bleach would?

No it won't

i don't think it will happen.

yes!!!!! do not process it

Will dying damaged hair darker make it break off like bleach would?

no darker colors don't contain the chemicals that are more harmful to your hair. i once dies my naturally dark brown hair this blond color and it was like fried then i cut it off and it was all smooth and nice.

Will dying damaged hair darker make it break off like bleach would?

dont dye it more. Be patient and just let it grow out. Trim your hair occastionally so the split ends dont occur. Be careful not to dye yyour hair 2 much. The best thing to do is to wait. But if you must, i recomend the less powerful hair dyes you can find at the drugstore. It wont break off, but it will feel itchy and disgusting.

Will dying damaged hair darker make it break off like bleach would?

Yeah. my hair is naturally dark and i dyed it blonde. Then i went dark again. I had really unhealthy hair when it was blonde, but going dark makes it a ton healthier. I would use aquage strengthening shampoo and conditioner. It helps alot.

Will dying damaged hair darker make it break off like bleach would?

So when you dyed it yourself you used Dye, and not bleach?

Dye can ONLY lift your hair to a certain level. I would highly recommend going to a salon only because i have come across many situations like this. Some people dye their hair so much it can be just as damaging as bleaching your hair. There are MANY different kinds of hair care products out there for people who bleach their hair a lot. People who go blonde lack proteins in their hair.

anyways, if you color your hair using a box dye now, you can't be gaurenteed the result on the box because box colors are SPECIFICALLY for natural hair, i wish they would list that one the box. for virgin hair only.

And no, i can easily say your hair shouldn't break off if you go darker. When you go darker with your hair, you are actually ADDING to your hair, and not taking away.

Will dying damaged hair darker make it break off like bleach would?

be ready to pay some money now they have to do a corrective color which cost more, thats why stylist have license . I dont know why people think they can color or highlights there own hair. if you use blow dryers daily or flat irons on top of all that color yes it will break, Im assuming you didnt have money to go to the hairstylist in the first place so you probably wont have the money to buy quality shampoo and conditioners recommended. keep cutting until you get rid of the old colored hair and only the stylist can say you natural color level.

Will dying damaged hair darker make it break off like bleach would?

Coloring your hair is not as damaging as bleach, but it does damage some. The darker you color your hair, the healthier it looks. I would go ahead and color it, then I would get good professional shampoo and conditioner. Make sure your hair dresser gives you a deep conditioner. Also tell your hair dresser to fill in the blonde first, so you don't get that nasty color.

Will dying damaged hair darker make it break off like bleach would?

Bleaching (aka making your hair lighter) is always more harmful than darkening. However, dying your hair period is not exactly a great thing. But, I dye my hair alot, so I know what to do and what not to do. I dye my hair darker because I prefer darker hair colors. But, first you need to treat your hair. I would try a deep conditioner like Bumble %26amp; Bumble's deeep conditioner, or any one that is heavy. You need to leave it in for a long time, and after showering, you need to start soaking your hair in leave-in-conditioner. I would do this at least once or twice a week so you're hair will become healthier. Also, try Natural Match hair dyes, because they are much more milder than regular dyes. But, I would cool it on the bleaching for awhile. Otherwise, you'll be wearing wigs when you're older.

HELP!A fast way to fade black hair dye?

On saturday night i dyed my hair natural black by loreal feria. that hair color on the box looked pretty natural. i thought what the heck ill give it a try. Right after the shower, i thought BIG MISTAKE. Looks like a total wig! Its extremely black than anyones natural hair color. My natural hair is dark brown to almost black. WOW. I really want it to fade and look natural and i totally regret doing this because its taughting me everyday. I DO NOT want to bleach my hair or do anything costly or damaging. I do not want to fry my hair ;( i had light brown highlights and i wanted to get rid of it..So now i already tried dawn dishsoap and head and shoulders...Any solutions or will it fade overtime and i just have to be patient?

All my friends say it matches me and looks natural...im filipino with tan skin..but to me it looks horrible and fake..PLEASE HELP!

You can try bleaching it, then dying it a more natural color. That may really dry your hair out though. But the only way to dye it another color is to get the black out first, then use another color. But I am a guy so what do I know.

HELP!A fast way to fade black hair dye?

I'm sorry to say but you cant fade black with any product. You have two choices: Wait for a few months until your hair grows out and it fades with time; or option B: Bleach your hair then re-dye it whatever color you want. You CANNOT dye over black with any other color other than blonde/bleached.

HELP!A fast way to fade black hair dye?

Actually the only way without going to a proffesional is to just wait it out. My boyfriend had black hair and when he was sick of it we talked to my hairdresser and she said the only way would be to bleach it out. And so he did that and it didnt even come out all the way the first time. Plus his hair turned a sort of orangey brown color. But that can be fixed with brown dye. It takes a while and is very difficult to get rid of black dye.

Good Luck %26lt;3

You just have to be patient and let it fade over time.. both of my parents were hairdressers.. So i know a lot about hair.. anything that you do to your hair with chemical can possibly damage your hair.. You could always go out and buy color remover.. but because it strips the hair of its color it will look like blondish or even Orange so if u take that rounte make sure you buy a box of color and be prepared to re dye it.. Hope it turns out fine..

Try hot oil treatments followed by a good clarifying shampoo. Keep giving it deep conditioning treatments, so it does not get too damaged. If it still hasn't faded enough in a couple of weeks, you may want to try something like colorfix.

Filipinos have naturally black hair, and so do I. You just reminded me of myself, but kinda in an opposite way though. So, I dyed my hair permanently last month black. I like it black though, because my hair used to have a brownish, reddish color, dyed from last year. Then after a week it faded away. I also used the loreal feria crap. SO.. i think you'll have to wait for it.

While there are products that are at beauty supply stores that work ....some work instantly, and some that take an hour or so.....every head of hair is different, some hair will turn out ok and some will turn out orange/gold.....you have two choices either try this yourself and pray for good results or go to a professional.....even a professional can not tell you what is going to happen she will have to watch this process very closely.....since you also have the high-lights in it you are not going to fade as quickly as someone without high-lights
